A Song of Ice and Fire Masterpost

The Return - Robb sends Theon home to Pyke. If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention. (Asha Greyjoy, Balon Greyjoy)

The Headsman - When the order came, Ned sent two men to seize and bind Theon Greyjoy and another to prepare the block. The gods would know Balon Greyjoy for a kinslayer, but it would be Ned Stark swinging the sword so what did that make him? (Ned Stark, Catelyn Stark, Theon Greyjoy)

Hey, Brother - “My sons will be your new brothers,” Lord Stark promised Theon, but it was a bit more complicated than that. (Theon Greyjoy, Ned Stark, Robb Stark, Jon Snow)

Every Captain a King - Young Theon Greyjoy is made a hostage of Dragonstone. When Davos Seaworth finds him crying behind the water casks, he can’t resist playing the father. (Davos Seaworth, Theon Greyjoy)

Somewhere in the Dark -The night after witnessing his first execution, a nightmare drives Robb from his bed. Somewhere in the dark, he stumbles across Theon. (Theon Greyjoy, Robb Stark)

Empty Promises, Empty Threats - “Far be it from me to question to wisdom of your lady mother,“ Theon said, “but maybe sending the man who killed my brother to treat with my father is not the best idea.” Robb sends a different envoy to the Iron Islands. He and Theon live with the consequences. (Robb Stark, Theon Greyjoy)

Grin and Bear It - Theon attends the tourney at Lannisport following his father’s war. King Robert rubs his hair for luck as he heads to the lists. Theon hopes he dies. He hopes they all do. (Theon Greyjoy, Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon)

Strange Children in Our Bed - It had been seven long months since Catelyn’s husband had been home and in her bed. Theon Greyjoy was the only thing spoiling their reunion. (Catelyn Stark/Ned Stark, Theon Greyjoy)

The Boy in the Garden - Alayne finds a strange boy crying along in the heart of the the Eyrie’s garden. There are no gods in the godswood. Just Ned. (Sansa Stark, Ned Stark)

The Heir - After the war and the loss of their sons, Balon demands she give him a new heir. Alannys is determined to thwart him at every turn. (Alannys Greyjoy/Balon Greyjoy, Asha Greyjoy)

I can’t belong to winter - Balon Greyjoy dies when Theon is three-and-ten and home has never felt so far out of reach. (Theon Greyjoy, Ned Stark)

The Knife - The wounds on Lady Catelyn’s hands turn sour, so Theon Greyjoy takes the assassin’s knife to King’s Landing instead. Theon’s main skill has always been complicating other people’s narratives. WIP (Theon Greyjoy, Ned Stark)

Second Verse - Theon Greyjoy leaps from Winterfell’s walls and ends up in his past. Can he save the Starks from themselves? More importantly, does he even want to? (Theon Greyjoy, Jory Cassel, Jeyne Poole, Mance Rayder, Bran Stark, Robb Stark)

Little Bit Louder, Little Bit Worse - In a world where the War of the Five Kings goes very differently, Asha Greyjoy sails north to retrieve her brother. Sequel to Second Verse where a time traveling Theon Greyjoy has made some changes, not all of them for the better. (Asha Greyjoy, Theon Greyjoy, Robb Stark)

Skinchangers: A Definitive History - Selected experts from the book Skinchangers: A Definitive History by Maester Germ, being the definitive work on the nature of the art and its role in the history of Westeros from the Dawn Age through the Age of Exploration.

To celebrate "Sow the Tide" getting an update, I've made a collage!!!

quotes taken from the fic (and I had to punch myself not to include the "My Quen, I knew you’d come back to me. Oh, how I’ve missed you, my sweet girl.” - quote)

The fic is by @2maegor2cruel and more about the fic can be found on @sowthetide

the thing about theon being taken as a prisoner to ensure balon’s good behaviour is if ned hadnt volunteered to ward him at winterfell theon could have had a much better time (being a louche scheming kings landing courtier after robert immediately forgets hes supposed to be a prisoner and just lets him do whatever) or a much worse time (foisted off on stannis and stuck on dragonstone with the worlds most miserable swingers)

The worst thing about rhaenicent is its infinite potential

[alicentral]

the way borros literally only sided with the greens because it was assumed he would side with rhaenyra because his dad did. that’s legitimately so fucking funny

being a huge enjoyer of asoiaf and tolkien is really funny. actually wait hold on. this post was gonna be a joke about “a 15-generation, 300-year long dynasty of inbreeding” asoiaf versus “one single guy liked his first cousin and he couldn’t literally go to hell but that’s the vibe” tolkien. but then i realized that maegor and maeglin’s names start the same way so how much yall wanna bet george martin was feeling unoriginal that day
