My thoughts on Shay:

It's down to House Greyjoy and House Mormont for me. With House Greyjoy, you have the connection to the ocean, which suits Shay's life as a captain. That being said, I don't think he would agree with House Greyjoy's "We do not sow" motto. The man's entire reason for leaving the Assassins, regardless of how pragmatic he could be under the Templars, was because he was increasingly horrified of the actions they'd take to get an edge over the Templars, I can't see him as a reaver -- he's a privateer, but someone else has to be in charge for him to justify it, there has to be some broader goal as opposed to pure slaughter for the sake of personal gain.

I think he has the brusqueness of a Northerner, and the Wildlings are Fantasy Celts anyway, so I think he might have a bit of Wildling blood, from when one of his ancestors controversially married a Wildling. Since Shay isn't wildly aristocratic in canon, I think he might be from one of the vassal houses, with Mormont being my best guess ("Here we stand" is, imo, more Shay than the Greyjoy motto.) He might have done something to get him exiled from the North, similar to Jorah's situation in-canon, which led to him seeking refuge from House Lannister (and, possibly, Dottie in particular). It wouldn't have been as horrific as what Jorah did, but it was likely one of those cases where honor conflicted with doing the right thing, he chose the latter, and so the Starks wanted to execute him because even though they didn't *like* the thought of it, honor had to come before everything else.

Thank you so SO much for bringing your take on Shay!

I truly appreciate you taking the time to indulge me in this, and I have to be honest, I am immensely happy to read that your reasoning and take for Shay is not too dissimilar from my own.

When I first thought about which houses he would belong, my first thought went immediately to one of the Great and Minor Houses of the North, because with his personality (exactly as you have underlined) he matches the Northerners much better than he does the Southerners.

I initially envisioned him to be mostly connected to the Greyjoys, due to the whole sea connection and him being the captain of the Morrigan (infact, in my own self-indulgent AU, I kinda dubbed him "The Ironborn").

But after reading your take, I am honestly just so in love with the idea of Shay being a Mormont through and through, and with a story not too dissimilar to that of Jorah (albeit, as you said, not as despicable), running away in exile and find a safe port in Lannisport, where Dorothea's branch of the House resides ( I cannot see her being a Lannister of Casterly Rock, but a Lannister of Lannisport would suit her much better. Plus, the sea is one of her great loves, so I can definitely imagine her preferring to reside by the sea rather than hanging on a cliff in Casterly Rock). I can kinda imagine her being the one running the branch of the family at the time Shay arrives in Lannisport, responsible for overseeing the trades and after hearing his story, she would accept his services (and also I kinda want her to have some sort of old grudge with the Starks, something that would prompt her even more in accepting Shay's offer of becoming her sworn shield. Like, pettiness, thy name is Dorothea).

Also, I never made the connection with the Wildlings, but omg I am actually enamoured by your idea behind it and will incorporate it for Shay, with your permission (also, I am doubly delighted by this headcanon because, if you remember a while back, when I asked for an advice on Shay's possible faceclaim, I leaned toward Ciarán Hinds, and he plays Mance Rayder in GoT, so it just feels like the cherry on top of the hot fudge sundae! <3 <3 and depending on which period of time this whole AU takes place, he could very well distantly related to him lololol).

Once more, thank you so much for indulging me in this and for allowing me also to speak about this, because I am so in love with this idea, my brain has been buzzing all afternoon, and I was barely able to focus on anything else!! 😂😂😂 So truly, THANK YOU <3
