Fics like what slows down the nights to a long lingering crawl

Peace was not a state inclined to last, even when one had the will of the gods and the defeat of the Mede army behind one. It was a constant battle of wills and diplomacy, of power and control. It was a lesson Attolia had learnt young and used well, and it had been her only companion for many long years. Even now it remained familiar, an awareness there was a cost to be paid and she the one to pay it; it was her duty, and she would not shirk it. But she is no longer alone.
