Game of Thrones, Tyrion II
The wine was a rare sweet amber from the Summer Isles that he had brought all the way north from Casterly Rock, and the book a rumination on the history and properties of dragons.
Tyrion curled up in his fur with his back against the trunk, took a sip of the wine, and began to read about the properties of dragonbone.
Dragonbone is black because of its high iron content, the book told him. It is strong as steel, yet lighter and far more flexible, and of course utterly impervious to fire. Dragonbone bows are greatly prized by the Dothraki, and small wonder. An archer so armed can outrange any wooden bow.

something i missed that i think is really cute:
in pretension, it's said that kagami takes an ikebana workshop.
So not only does she do kendo, fencing, AND archery, she also arranges flowers!

A Game of Thrones, Jon III
He had beaten everyone that Ser Alliser had sent against him, yet it gained him nothing.
The master-at-arms served up only derision.
Thorne hated him, Jon had decided; of course, he hated the other boys even worse.
“That will be all,” Thorne told them. “I can only stomach so much ineptitude in any one day.
“If the Others ever come for us, I pray they have archers, because you lot are fit for nothing more than arrow fodder.”

Holds up one of his bows, wings fluttering so excitedly that it lifts him off the ground a little. “This is the bow that Chia made me! It’s my favorite one to use and I’m really good at it; I hit dead center almost every time!”

🥂 "Those fireworks up in the sky were you, right? At the end of the battle, I mean." He laughs. "Didn't know you were such a flashy type."
BOEL afterparty interactions
"fireworks...?" she blinks, tilting her head subtly in confusion. it is only once he elaborates that she laughs along with him. "ah, you mean bolganone? you'll have to forgive me, that was my first time using magic in a combat scenario. i promise you i'm only as flashy as any other pegasus knight fighting a giant bird is."
it's a miracle to her that she even got bolganone working against a powerful opponent like tibarn. "i was able to get a glimpse of your battle too from the skies. your expertise with the bow really betrays your laidback image." poor lilina. she thinks to herself.

I'm in need of an au winterhawk fic where Clint's a war vet and a pro archer and ends up developing a chronic pain disorder like fibro that makes him incapable of holding a bow steady or even drawing the bowstring properly... And it's frustrating and upsetting and Clint is going through the stages of grief regarding his own capabilities... But then he meets Bucky in PT and it's not a great first meeting and they don't get along initially but then they start helping each other and supporting each other and after a lot of physical and emotional pain and tears and effort Bucky makes progress with his prosthetic and Clint is able to shoot again. He's not cured -- he still has debilitating flare ups from time to time -- but he's learning to live with it and to not give up and that he can still find joy in life.
And yes it'd be the most self indulgent fic ever but I need it...
