I personally really loved how Beth turned out. She ended up almost exactly as I picture her! This set is definitely one of my favorites. I love Beth as a character, and she deserves so much better than canon.

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY, WHITECAPS!

In any long-term relationship, there’s always that thing you keep in your back pocket, the secret thing you could do to utterly wreck the whole enterprise, the self-destruct clause. And in every fight with your partner, there’s a moment where you could push the button and tear the whole house down, but you don’t because you care about them. In “Whitecaps,” Tony and Carmela reach that point, and then they don’t just push the button. They keep escalating until his fist is disappearing into the wall and he’s shoving her up against the wall and the look in her eyes is simultaneously one of terror and excitement. She doesn’t know where this is going to end, and for once in this marriage, that’s something kind of thrilling.

Ser Addam Marbrand of Ashemark. Sworn sword of Queen Alysanne.

Created using Midjourney.

Read Throw Me to the Wolves on AO3.

When I first outlined this story, Ser Addam didn’t have NEARLY so much of a role as he’s come to. I’ve loved writing his dynamic with Alysanne, and perhaps I’ll do a few bonus scenes of them.
