Fics like Past

Power, prestige, wealth, and knowledge. Ammitra Bates has it all, despite (or because of) her family dealing in things most won’t touch. Word is binding. Word is power. She was raised to wield it like a blade and to call it duty. The Bates family has it all - old money, old oaths, and an education in violence handed down for generations. They wins the way empires win: decisively, imperiously, and leaving no room for arguments after. Damn anyone and everyone that gets in their way. Her father sends her away to “rest.” To a city that doesn’t rest. No, it reinvents itself by cutting away history and calling the bleeding growth. It has its own hierarchy, its own predators, its own Lord, and Ammitra’s arrival is an event whether she wants it to be or not. Nearly alone, her family far away and her reputation arriving before she does, Ammitra will have to decide what she is when she isn’t being used - daughter, weapon, scholar, monster. Because when you’ve spent your whole life winning, even rest becomes a battlefield. And when you’re teetering on the brink, even a breeze can become a push.
