Nothing is said ā–¼ā–ŗā˜¼ #1

Magic, that branch of life that brings problems and joys. Mary has known both, and now she just wants to close her eyes, but she still can't.
Superman is hugging her while her body is consumed by darkness, a fair price for using a forbidden and lethal spell... Mary would be offended if it had been something less. Not just any spell would take down one of the champions of magic.
"Miss Marvel, please, keep your eyes open! You have to fight!"
"No... it can't be helped, this is my punishment for killing my brother..."
"Constantine will be here soon, you have to fight!"
"There is no cure, Superman... It's part of... my sin. But you could do something for me..."
"Please, tell me..."
Mary looks in the direction of the crater left by her spell, the place where the Captain had ceased to exist and where there should be nothing left. Tears clouded her vision... No one would cry for them.
"Billy, that's his name... and mine is Mary... Remember us, Superman. Please remember us even if the world doesnā€™t... Donā€™t forget us."
She wanted the Batson siblings to be remembered. No one would do so after that day; they would just be two orphaned children who disappeared in the middle of the battle of Fawcett, never to be found...
Billy and Mary would be ashes together.
"I never do that..."
"We believe you..."
Superman hugged the woman, what was left of her, before she completely turned to dust...
And so, the woman and the girl vanished.
In just minutes, Constantine, Batman, and Wonder Woman arrived. No words were needed... it was already too late. Fawcett was destroyed, and they had lost two friends, along with the pillars of the magical world. Captain Marvel had been compromised by an unknown entity, and his sister had sacrificed everything to stop him.
Diana took Bruce's hand to offer comfort... Everything fell into a respectable silence, mourning for two heroes.
Suddenly, that silence was broken by an unexpected, gentle sound.
The battlefield, was interrupted by a small cry.
"A baby" The sound reached Batman and was unmistakable.
Batman was the first to run toward the crater where there should have been some remnants of the Captain Marvel. Wonder Woman and Superman closely followed.
"I told you, magic is capricious," Jon Constantine felt it first, sensing a spark.
"It's a baby..." Batman lifted him from the dirt.
"By Hera, it's..." Diana cupped the baby's soft cheek.
As Bruce covered the little one with his cape, he looked at him puzzled. He had rosy cheeks, black hair, and, he swore, blue eyes... Eyes like... Him.

Hi! Can you please share your thoughts on tma and arcane parallels? I'm very curious to hear your opinion on it
oh boy this might be a long one! Glad yā€™all wanna hear my thoughts though ā˜ŗļø
MAJOR ARCANE AND TMA SPOILERS BELOW
I see Viktor as an avatar of the extinction, as evolution cannot occur without extinction. As species adapt their undesirable traits die out, leading to the technical death of the species that had those traits. This is what Viktor wants to do with the human race. He wants to adapt us to no longer feel pain, no longer die. But in this process he would wipe out the species once known as humanity, as without these traits we are no longer human.
Jayce is an avatar of the end, as his goal to stop Viktor means keeping death in the world. He knows that death is inevitable, and though he does not embrace his end in open arms, Viktorā€™s do.
ok so obviously Viktorā€™s ā€œglorious evolutionā€ is a ritual, and a large scale one at that. You could even argue that it did succeed honestly, and that the last stand hill with all the robots is his panopticon. The empty world that Jayce saw is what would happen to the fears if they were left to run rampant. They cannot exist without fear to feed off of, and when all humans are claimed by the end, it leaves a husk of a world.
Now that I think about it the relationship buildup is pretty similar too. Though Jon and Martin admittedly started on more rocky ground then Jayce and Viktor, they both started as co workers. And both Jayce and Martin saw their partners at their worst, as who they were, not just as a sum of their broken parts. They never even saw them as broken in the first place.
I can only picture all the fanart of Martin holding Jon in his final moments as the same pose Jayce and Viktor held while they dissapeared. They both died by the hands of the one they loved, (sometimes multiple times, Iā€™m looking at you Jayce) and though we kind of got to see where Jon and Martin ended up, I donā€™t know if weā€™ll ever get the same for Viktor and Jayce. And that makes it all the sadder, but at least it leaves us room to hope.
I could definitely rant some more about who I think would correlate to what fear, Jinx is absolutely an avatar of the lonely DO NOT fight me on this. But I think this post is long enough lol

Love your blog so much!!
What's your headcanons on Jon and Rhaegar's relationship? The fandom is always Jon-Ned this, Jon-Lyanna that, won't someone ever think of the Jon-Rhaegar bond?? It's my favorite father son relationship that never was. Imagine Jon growing up with Rhaegar as a dad, what would their lives have been like?
Aw, thank you !!
I love all of Jon's important relationships which include the relationships with his parents ( Ned, Lyanna AND Rhaegar). I've already written some posts about Rhaegar and Jons parallels but I don't remember writing headcanons about their potential relationship in an AU where Targs won the war. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this!
We know that little Rhaenys hided in her father's room to seek safety. That shows that Rhaegar, despite being a busy crown prince, also spend quality time with his kids. I'd expected that Jon would feel the same safety his older sister frlt inside his father's chambers.
And let's not forget that Jon is the youngest kid of Rhaegar's so it's possible that their father would be even more doting with the baby of his family.
Toddler Jon going to Rhaegar's room after a nightmare, and Rhaegar calming him down by singing him lullabies.
Rhaegar loved to read so ofc he would read to Jon when he was too young to do it himself. Rhaegar retelling tales of their Targaryen ancestors and Jon asking for the tales of Aemon the Dragon knight or Daeron the Young Dragon again and again.
Rhaegar trying to teach Jon how to play music instruments and sing but failing miserably (it's okay Jon, you have other talents).
Also, since Rhaegar took his leadership responsibilities seriously, I'd expect him to teach both his sons how rule and maybe even help them train with the swords when his schedule allows it.
Jon being annoyed when his father shows him affection in public but he's the baby of the family! His family will always see him that way!
Rhaegar totally understanding that Jon doesn't want to marry out of duty. When Jon decides to marry out of love, Rhaegar would be his number one supporter (he really is his father's son on this aspect).
Jon and Rhaegar spending quality time, Jon being able to share his concerns or views with his father but also enjoy being able to enjoy the silence together. The crown prince and his youngest son are bonding while brooding together.

She is a white savior that Daenerys believes to be the Mysha of the slaves, in addition to her arrogance of thinking that she is the only savior, she has that hero complex like her brother Rhaegar had that caused a war for his prophecy, I saw the publication and it makes sense Aegon according to what he dreamed of in the long night, but for me the author invented it to make it seem like the foreigners subjugated Westeros, for me it is not fair that Daenerys and her fans believe that she deserves the credit of many people who also fight against the others.
I'm sorry, have you ever read the books? Or even seen the show for that matter? Literally none of this is true in either one.
Dany didn't create the title of Mhysa, the Yunkai'i slaves she freed did. Then the name was picked up by the slaves in Meereen and others all over Essos. It's a title; it's awarded by others, that's how they work.
Dany takes this title as a responsibility. She feels a level of responsibility and care for the slaves and freedmen that no other pov ruler does. She understands the weight of ruling as no one else does; it's a ruler's responsibility to care for the people and do justice on their behalf. She is motivated by her genuine care in all the released books and in the seasons when she's in Essos.
Where are you getting that she has a hero complex? I'm assuming since you're talking about the Others, you're talking about the events of the show's ending. Well, even with how D&D royally fucked up, Dany didn't believe herself to be the only person fighting the Others, nor does she begrudge other people their credit.
She's rightfully upset when all the Northmen choose to ignore the fact that she literally saved them. Dany brought her dragons, saved Jon's life multiple times, and brought a massive army. She did literally save their fucking lives. No, she wasn't the only one to fight, nor was she the only reason they won, and she doesn't think that.
As for the slaves, she doesn't liberate them out of a hero's complex, she does it because slavery is a horrifying institution and she had power. People who have power should feel an obligation to do good with it; Dany does. She chose to put aside her conquest for the Iron Throne for the slaves.
Rhaegar didn't start the war, nor did he do it for the prophecy. Again, I don't know where you or any of Rhaegar's antis got that. Rhaegar ran away with Lyanna because of a mutual love. GRRM literally calls Rhaegar "a love struck prince"; meaning he isn't really thinking clearly.
As for the prophecy, yes, Rhaegar knew about it; but we have textual evidence that he believes Aegon is the Prnce that was Promised. He literally tells Elia when Aegon is born that, "His will be the Song of Ice and Fire." Yeah, he said there needed to be a third child, but why logically wouldn't he choose to have a third child with Elia? Well because he's not thinking logically, he's "lovestruck", and because he didn't run away with Lyanna for a child.
No, GRRM didn't make the Targaryen conquest to reflect foreign invasion or colonization. They're literally a Westerosi house, they came to Westeros centuries before the conquest happened. It's literally a different concept all together, why is that so hard to understand?
Literally none of Dany's fans believe that she "deserves all the credit" for fighting the Others. We just want her to get the credit she deserves, which is that she saved the Northmen's lives and without her they would have failed. These are all just facts in the show. As for the books, we know she'll play a large role in fighting the Others because GRRM makes it pretty fucking clear.

if itā€™s official for Remorse AU (aka in which Rhea doesnā€™t die and is with the boys right before Crayne takes them and then Daemon and her get the boys back and the happy family go to KL together)
so, certain things that i wanted to discuss or add or question or whatnot:
Daemon being so afraid and paranoid that Rhea will one day end up taking the boys and running again, like it should be impossible, especially when they get to the Red Keep. but anything could happen and that terrifies him and does not do well to develop his relationship with his sons mother.
likewise, Rhea being afraid that now that Daemon is apart of the twinsā€™ lives theyā€™re going to go down a dark hole, except she sees what a committed father Daemon becomes. this fear mutates into a fear of losing them to the Targaryen side, especially when their eggs hatch. sheā€™s not even really their mom (šŸ‘€ or is she?) (depends the AU ig) so she feels them slipping, or at least Jon
once the twins are calmed about how sheā€™s alive and happy to have her back, the dynamic of Jon alienating himself from her, the twins not-so- subconsciously preferring a specific parent because of different issues
Rheaā€™s treatment of Raymar reminding Jon of Catlyn
Daemonā€™s resemblance to Aerys for Rhaegar
Laenor shows up mid-way with Seasmoke on their route to KL and is suddenly brought before the most tense family heā€™s ever laid eyes onā€” and he lives in the Red Keep
Alicent thinking she could find common ground or even an ally or a friend in Rhea, both coming from bad forced marriages with children they just want to protect, only to be thoroughly disappointed when Rhea (surprising even herself) defends Daemon after Alicent insults him.
Rhea is with Daemon when he meets that cat and she takes the cat with her.
I think what would be very fascinating to me about this AU setup is the Jon+Rhea vs Rhaegar+Rhea dynamic. Rhaegar was able to idealize his relationship with Rhea to a degree because her last visit(s) were the ones where she finally let herself warm to Raymar. And then she died, which put her on a somewhat untouchable level for Rhaegar, especially since his feelings about Rhaella sort of got jumbled up in that too.
Here, though, she's alive and he's had more time to integrate those memories of Raymar's. How does he reconcile that? Does he distance himself over time? And you have sort of the reverse arc with Jon, where yes, there are strong Cat vibes to those memories of her treatment of Raymar, but she was quite loving toward / fond of him when they were growing up. So it gets similarly complicated for Jon because Jon Redfort has those position interactions with Rhea while Jon's wrestling with the unfairness of her treatment of Raymar originally.
And now that she's more open with both of them, does that change anything? Does that absolve the hurt before?
(Daemon, btw, FUMES whenever a hint of that damage shows. He can't even feel vindicated about their conflicted feelings toward Rhea because he doesn't want them to be sad/upset.)
LMAO at your Laenor bullet point because it's so painfully accurate. šŸ˜‚
I think they can eventually get to a healthier place/dynamic, with time and love and remorse from Rhea, but it'll be a while. Things like Rhea defending Daemon will help, of course!

SOMETHING BOUTā€™ US
Summary: "I want you more than anything in my life." After being in a difficult relationship with Carmelo Yasmine decided to move on from him and become the next big thing while getting drafted on the smackdown roster she always thought she would never find love again due to her commitment issues until she met him.
This fanfic is 18+! NO MINORS ALLOWED

ALSO! I donā€™t not want nobody stealing my fanfics or take it as theirs that will be an issue fasho so keep it cute respectfully.
I only own my OC along with the make up scenarios
But Iā€™ll be writing along the way since this story is in my drafts on Wattpad right now so yuh. šŸ’šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø
7.
YASMINE It was Crown Jewel day, and I was nervous to say the least about tonight's main event, which involved me going against Liv Morgan for her title. I couldn't believe that I'd be having my first PPV tonight; thinking about it gave me butterflies in my stomach.
I was in my hotel room watching TV while eating some food that I had ordered from the menu that they had in the room. I haven't heard from Jey since we last saw each other, and I started to miss him because he normally doesn't go days without texting or calling me.
That's when I felt my phone buzzing as I grabbed it from the dresser, seeing that Trinity had texted me.
TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½Ā sent a message.
IMESSAGEĀ šŸ’¬ TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: Hey, girly I was checking up on you to see how you were doing? MinniešŸ§ƒ: I'm doing fine just nervous about today TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: girl, you're going to be fine just bring that title home for us MinniešŸ§ƒ: Trin, you know I got'chu if you want a title shot TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: fasho girl I know MinniešŸ§ƒ: also have you heard from Jey? TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: last time I check him and Jon were heading to the gym together then hangout with some friends before the show MinniešŸ§ƒ: oh okay TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: did something happen? MinniešŸ§ƒ: nah I just wanted to see if you have heard from him since he hasn't text me or called me at least TrinšŸ¤­šŸ«¶šŸ½: hm, that's not like him I'll see what's going on but I'll see you later girl byeee love you MinniešŸ§ƒ: love you too
After texting Trinity, I decided to munch on my food while continuing to watch my show on Netflix. Jey and I have been doing this friends-with-benefits thing ever since we met.
I knew he was my person, my peacemaker, especially whenever I'm feeling down or about to panic. He's always right there to fix it, no matter what, but for some odd reason, I started to feel more for him than I should.
Maybe it was the dick that was making me feel this way about him, not knowing how he felt entirely, but it was odd not hearing from him all day today.
I'll probably see him at work or something, then we could talk about it, hopefully.
āœ§ĖšĀ° I finally made it to work, seeing everyone that I was cool with backstage. Meanwhile, I was looking for Jey, hoping that I'd see him and greet him with hugs and kisses like I normally do.
As I was walking down toward Montez's locker room, I caught something. It was Jey speaking to Liv, for whatever reason, so I went behind the corner and watched them.
His energy seemed a bit flirty, and the way he felt up on her like he did with me almost shattered me. I sighed deeply, getting out of the corner and continuing to walk towards my brother's locker room.
Walking past them as Jey made eye contact with me before I rolled my eyes at him going towards Montez's locker room. Maybe he didn't feel the same way like I did.
As I walked in my brother's locker room I saw Bianca sitting on the couch gazing up at me with a smile as I did the same to her.
I sat down on the couch, looking up at the screen and seeing the commutators speaking about the matches for tonight. Bianca could sense my energy seemed a bit off as she nudged my shoulder.
"You okay Minks?" Bianca asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine just nervous about my match for the main event," I said while having flashbacks of seeing Jey with Liv being all up on her.
"Are you sure? You seemed pretty uncomfortable about something," I said, shaking my head and telling her that I was fine and just needed a moment by myself.
That's when I felt my phone vibrating, seeing a text from an unknown number that seemed like they had sent me a picture.
When I opened the message, it felt like my whole world had stopped spinning. It was a picture of Jey and Liv, with him having her in a back-shot position and the message saying,Ā 'Hey, girl.'Ā I didn't want to express those feelings toward Bianca, so I went out to the locker room for a moment, trying to calm myself down before I had a mental breakdown.
How could he? Why would he do this? I went inside the bathroom, went inside the stall, and began bawling my eyes out in silence so that nobody would hear me.
I put my trust into a nigga that would just do me dirty now everyone is going to be looking at me all weirdly.
After I was bawling my eyes out, I opened the stall and looked inside the mirror, touching up my makeup, praying that I wouldn't see him again or anymore. Ion even wanna tell Montez about it. Hell, he probably knows.
I walked out of the bathroom and toward Ms. Kim to check on my gear and make sure everything was okay. When I went that way, I saw Carmelo talking to somebody, but I didn't pay attention to him.
He saw me walking past him and tried to grab my arm, but I quickly snatched it away.
"Are you good, Yasmine? " he asked. I just rolled my eyes at him, wondering why he cared if I was okay.
I just nodded my head and walked away because I didn't want to engage in the conversation anymore. I honestly didn't want to talk to anybody.
Ms. Kim saw me walking toward her, and she smiled at me.
"Hey, Yasmine, I see that you're here for your attire?" She said.
"Yeah, I just wanted to come pick it up so that I could have it before my match," I said as she nodded her head and gave me my attire.
My eyes sparkled with excitement. I love the detail of the gear; it just suited me so well. I thanked Ms. Kim before heading back toward Montez's locker room.
āœ§ĖšĀ° I sat in my brother's locker room, lost in thought about what I'd seen while watching the matches on his TV.
I'm still puzzled. What did I do wrong? Did he not see me as good enough? I guess it shouldn't bother me since we're friends with benefits, right?
As I watched TV, a knock on the door signaled someone to come in, but I didn't look at them until they were right in front of me.
When I looked up, I saw that it was himā€”the person I didn't even want to see at the moment.
My eyebrows furrowed a bit, and I sighed deeply. " What? Why are you in my face for?" I remarked, giving him an attitude.
"Let me explain, Minks," Jey begged as I rolled my eyes at him.
"There's nothing for you to explain, Josh. I thought I could trust you, and I gave my BODY to you. Is this what you do? I understand that we are friends with benefits but damn," I wanted to lash out on him so bad but it just wasn't in me I didn't need this when I have a match coming up.
I got up from the couch, not wanting to speak to him anymore when he grabbed me by the waist and looked deeply into my brown eyes.
Those same eyes that captured me hypnotized me.
"C'mon, don't do this. She doesn't mean anything to me, mama." I wanted to give in so badly, but he didn't deserve it. He can be with her instead of me.
"Let me go, Ion' have time for this. We are only friends with benefits, right? It shouldn't matter anyway; I have a match to go to." I pulled away from his grasp before going towards the gorilla, trying to pump myself up until I saw her walking past me with a smirk.
She was mouthing, "he's mine now," I wanted to knock the brains outta her so bad but I kept it professional smiling at her as her music began playing.
I had to keep my emotions together putting them to the side for right now not wanting to mess up my opportunity to take away that damn belt from her.
My music began to play as the cameraman was next me while I mouthed,Ā "it's show time yall,"Ā while walking out the gorilla hearing the people cheering for me.
Just reminded me when I was in NXT going against Roxanne for her title, I blew kisses to everyone while skipping towards the ring.
"And her opponent from Brooklyn, New York weighing in at 148 pounds YASMINE!!!!"
I smiled at waved at everyone giving them a high five before flipping my hair in the process I know that this was getting underneath her skin.
I got on top of the ropes sitting on them while I flipped over them landing a spilt on the ground before getting back up.
"Yasmine is honestly a very talented athlete Cole,"
"I agree with you hundred percent Graves she's going to be the next face of the company,"
I took off my jacket and cap throwing it outside of the ring. I hyped myself as the referee held up the title before ringing the bell.
"1!" "2!" "3!"
"Oh my god! She did it! Yasmine is your new women's world champion!"
"She honestly deserves it,"
I was absolutely stunned when I defeated Liv Morgan. Although Dom and Jey provided some interference, I still managed to emerge victorious in a fair manner. The look of despair in Liv's eyes was evident. Perhaps this was Karma's way of teaching her a lesson, but let's not dwell on that. The referee presented me with the title, and as I held my hand, I couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in my stomach.
Hearing the crowd screaming that I deserved it made my heart warm. I blew them kisses before rolling out of the room and heading towards the gorilla.
I saw Bianca, Trinity, Montez and Jon standing there waiting on me as I walked inside they all came up to me hugging me tightly.
I cried happy tears while embracing them together; I looked up for a second, seeing Jey standing there with his arms crossed around his chest.
He seemed proud of me for what I had accomplished.
"We are honestly so proud of you, baby girl!" Trinity said.
"Girl, ion' know you be doing them moves when you're so little bro," I shrugged my shoulders at her telling her that it's just a skill and learning mechanism for me.
After they congratulated me, I saw Jey walking up towards me, and I rolled my eyes at him. "Can we talk alone?" I sighed softly, nodding my head as I followed him toward his and Jonathan's locker room, which they shared together.
We both made it to their locker room as he opened the door for me to come in first before him while shutting the door behind him. I sat down on the couch, placing my championship next to me.
It was nothing but silence. I don't think I have the energy to deal with this, especially after tonight's match.
"You wanted to talk so speak up," I retorted while folding my arms.
I knew that he liked my sassy attitude, but I was honestly dead-ass serious about this one, hearing a light, dark chuckle escape his lips.
"You wanna fix that tone of yours, little mama?" He questioned me.
"No, I will not fix my fucking tone nigga. I have every right to have this funky ass attitude with yo' ass playing in my fucking face," I was lashing out at him badly, knowing that what he did really did shatter me and now made me more closed off.
"Like, why me? What did I do so wrong to deserve that? When I saw you as my peacemaker, someone I could go to without feeling guilty..." Jey listened attentively, hearing me lash out at him.
"It was a mistake, Minks. I swear it wasn't supposed to go that far." I shook my head, knowing that he was lying just to get out of it.
"It was a fucking choice not a damn mistake, you know my fucking brother trusted you? And now you have broken that trust for some whore," I vented while wiping the tears away from my cheeks.
I got up from the couch, holding my championship on my shoulder and staring down at him deeply, "Maybe I was a fool to fall in love with you, maybe it was dick that was making me feel this way or something, but I hope you and her both have a wonderful life together I'm gone Josh," before I could head out the door I felt him scooping me up by the thighs causing me to yelp as he took us over to his couch keeping me place on his lap.
His arms snaked around my waist, and I placed my championship next to him, wrapping my arms around his neck for support.
"Don't go please minks, You know I love you," Jey said placing soft kisses on my neck.
"If you loved me, you wouldn't be with Liv Morgan now, would ya?" I tried to resist his wet kisses trailing down my neck because I didn't want to give in; that's how it'll make me look dumb.
"She doesn't mean anything to me like you do," I said, turning away from him, not wanting to listen to anything else he had to say.
He continued to give me wet soft kisses on my neck while placing his hands on my ass cheeks squeezing them both.
I didn't know if this was his way of saying sorry it's definitely working because I am starting to give in to this man as my anger started to go away.
My body didn't operate properly whenever he touched me, Jey gazed up at me seeing me trembling under his touch.
"C'mon you know you love this shit," this was manipulation at this point but he wasn't wrong about that. I managed to push him away while getting up from his lap grabbing my title in the process.
"T-this doesn't feel right at all Josh, after you fucked her now you wanna get into my panties? Nah I'm not doing this with you anymore I'm out," I said as I left his locker room leaving him dumbfounded.
āœ§ĖšĀ° OMNISCIENT Yasmine been getting a bunch of miss calls from Jey ever since she left the arena, she was in her hotel room with the blankets over her body watching a movie that's when she heard her door knocking.
She groaned deeply feeling annoyed as she got up from the bed while going towards the door looking through the peephole to see who it was.
It was Trinity standing there along with Bianca she opened the door seeing them look at her. She let them in as she went towards her bed sitting on it.
"Girl, what's is going on with you and Jey?" Trinity questioned her.
'What the fuck did he tell them?'
'Ion' even wanna bring his ass up after what he did,'
"I'm not speaking to him anymore after what he did," She said folding her arms in the process.
They both looked at each other then back at her with a confused expression on their faces. "What do you mean?"
That's when she explained to them that Jey had been fucking around with Liv while showing them the picture that she had gotten from Liv's phone number.
They were shocked to say the least even Trinity knowing that Jey was a loyal man but this was something surprising to her.
"Did you at least hear him out?" Yasmine shook her head.
"No, I refused to listen to him whatsoever because he didn't seem trustful," Yasmine replied as she heard the girls sigh.
Yasmine eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at them with a perplexed expression before saying something. "What y'all?"
They both looked at each other and then back at Yasmine.
"We feel like y'all should talk things outā€”" That's when she lost it.
"IM SORRY? I AM NOT GOING OUT MY WAY JUST FOR HIM TO FUCK ME AND THEN BE WITH THAT WHORE LIV. TALK THINGS OUT TUH." She lashed out at them, running her fingers through her hair, feeling frustrated.
"We understand that, but at least hear him out. Minks for us, please," Bianca begged, seeing Yasmine in disbelief.
She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now, her best friends telling her to listen to a man who fucked another girl and played in her face.
The only way she could listen to what he had to say was if he was going through something or feeling bad about it.
"No, no, I'm not going to do that respectfully. I love you guys, but if you're going to take his side, then all can leave." With that, Yasmine got up from her bed and went towards the bathroom, shutting the door behind her as she slid down on it.
Covering herself in between her legs along with muffled cries and tears coming down her cheeks, she didn't want to speak to him.
She didn't want to deal with him any further, but her heart said something different. She knew that he meant well and didn't want it to happen, but it did.
Yasmine knew that she loved him, that he was her peacemaker, especially when dealing with complicated things like this.
She sat there for a while in the bathroom before hopping in the shower, trying to clear her thoughts.
After taking a shower, she put on some comfy clothes while picking up her phone, debating whether to text him or go see him in his hotel room.
Biting her fingernails she looked at the time, all she could thinkĀ 'damn he's probably sleep right now,'Ā But she decided to say fuck it and go see him to hear what he has to say.
She put on her slippers and Hoodie while going towards the elevator since his room was on the second floor. Yasmine waited patiently for the elevator to go up to the second floor remembering his room number.
The elevator doors opened as she walked out, heading towards his hotel room. When she approached his room, she knocked on the door, waiting for him to come open it.
Yasmine had her arms folded around her chest as she heard footsteps from behind the door. When the door swung open, he was standing there towering over her 5'2 "figure.
He was shirtless, with his Cuban gold chain around his neck. He was also wearing some sweats and his slides.
"What'chu doing here this late, little mama?" He asked, looking around the hallway.
"I came to see you...I wanna hear what you have to say Josh..." Yasmine said gazing up at the fine Samoan specimen.
He nodded his head while stepping aside for her to come into his room as he shut the door behind them. She sat down on his bed, which smelt like him. His scent put her in a trance.
"You want something to drink, little lady?" She nodded her head as he gave her a cold water bottle.
Once he was settled in, he sat down next to her, admiring her features while he placed his hands on her thigh, rubbing it and letting out a sigh. "Look, what I did was wrong, and I didn't mean for it to happen but she kept pushing me and pushing me until I couldn't anymore without even thinking that it would hurt you minks,"
Yasmine was listening to him attentively, gazing into his brown, pretty eyes.
"I was planning on coming to see you, too, but she came in the way, and I didn't know about the picture she took either. Like I said before, you mean way more to me than her," Jey said, intertwining his hands with her small ones.
"I'm sorry, mama, like for real." She looked into his eyes to see if there was any sincerity behind his words, and there was.
She turned around to face him while sighing deeply, "You know how much that hurt me, Josh? Seeing you in that position with her? It felt like a bullet shot me dead in the heart after seeing that," Yasmine heard her voice crack a little bit.
"You're my peacemaker, and I felt like I lost my person," his eyebrows began to furrow a bit when she said that.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
Yasmine was very hesitant to express her feelings to him because she wasn't sure if he felt the same way as she did, so she just left it alone. She opened her mouth, beginning to say something, but nothing came out, so she closed it while avoiding eye contact with him.
That's when he grabbed her by the chin, placing his soft lips onto hers. This caught her off guard, but she managed to catch on as their lips moved in sync.
Wrapping her arms around his neck as he placed her onto his lap, causing her to grind on him while he gave her ass a smack.
"Fuck, I love you so much, Minks, you don't even know," He confessed as her facial expressions became perplexed.
"Y-you what?" She questioned him.
"You heard me, little girl. I said I love you like you're in love with me, right?" His statement shocked her.
Was this true? That he actually loves her?
"You playing right?" Jey shook his head, gazing up at her.
"No, I'm not. I'm serious, mamas; I'm serious about us," that made her heart flutter as she smiled at him, knowing how he loved it whenever she smiled.
For the rest of the night, they made love, embracing each other's scent.
SOMETHING BOUT' US
A/n: sorrrry for the late update I've been busy at work this past week but I'll be updating again but I hope what Jey is saying is true because ion like it when Yasmine is getting played especially after dealing with Mello ass.
But I hope yall enjoy this chapter lmk in the comments below.
STAY UCEY.

The Princess That Was Promised part 3
Tumblr media
Then
Kings Landing
(Y/N) had flown ahead of her family to make sure everyone knew that you can not break a dragon. (Y/N) landed and saw two knights waiting for her along with a carriage.
ā€œPrincess we are here to take you to the Red Keepā€ Ser Edwards says as he opens the carriage door for (Y/N).
ā€œThank you Ser Edwards and Ser Harrold but I would like to go through the twin and see the peopleā€ (Y/N) tells the Knights.
(Y/N) stops in the silk street and sees three white haired children running around and two women running behind them.
ā€œWhoā€™s bastardā€™s are they?ā€ (Y/N) asks Ser Harrold.
ā€œThey belong to Prince Aegon Princessā€ Ser Harrold tells (Y/N).
ā€œBring me their motherā€™sā€ (Y/N) says as she walks into the carriage and walks out with bags of coins.
ā€œPrincess here are the women you wanted to talk toā€ Ser Harrold says as he steps aside.
ā€œHere are three bags full of gold, take them and leave your children with meā€ (Y/N) says to the two women.
ā€œWhat?ā€ One of the women says to (Y/N).
ā€œI will take your children and give them a good life, one where they wonā€™t have to off others to make some money so take the money and leave King's Landing and your children will be safe so take the money and what are their names?(Y/N) asks the woman.
ā€œMy son is named Gaemon and her son is Jon and the girl is named Rhaeā€ One of the women tell (Y/N).
ā€œDo we have a deal ladies?ā€ (Y/N) asks the woman.
The two women look at (Y/N) then at their children then to the bags of gold, they step forward and take the money and run away.
ā€œTake the children ahead of us, I will meet you at the gateā€ (Y/N) tells Ser Harrold.
ā€œOf course Princessā€ Ser Harrold says to (Y/N).
(Y/N) gets on Ser Harroldā€™s horse and rides behind the carriage.
(Y/N) walks up the stairs and sees Queen Alicent standing there not letting Ser Harrold pass with the children.
ā€œWhat is going on here? Why have the children not been let in?ā€ (Y/N) asks angrily.
ā€œWhy are you bringing them here?ā€ Alicent asks (Y/N).
ā€œI asked them to be brought here!ā€ (Y/N) says loudly.
ā€œWhy would you bring these bastards here?ā€ Alicent asks (Y/N) angrily.
ā€œI bought them from their mothers and they will be let in or I will move you and those men out of the way!ā€ (Y/N) says angrily as Baelon flys over roaring loudly.
ā€œLet them in,ā€ Alicent says.
ā€œGood choice Alicent, Lyla can you get the children cleaned and fed, I will be with my grandfatherā€ (Y/N) says.
ā€œOf course Princessā€ Lyla tells (Y/N) as she takes the children.
(Y/N) walks to her grandfatherā€™s room and opens the door and closes it behind her softly as she walks to his side of the bed.
ā€œGrandfather?ā€ (Y/N) asks softly.
ā€œWho goes there?ā€ Viserys asks, looking at (Y/N).
ā€œGrandfather itā€™s me (Y/N)ā€(Y/N) says to him softly.
ā€œOh (Y/N) my little dragon, oh how Iā€™ve missed you so much time has passed you're a woman grown nowā€ Viserys says to (Y/N) softly.
ā€œIā€™ve missed you so much grandfather, I have so much to tell you Iā€™ve had dragon dreamsā€ (Y/N) whispers to Viserys.
ā€œHelp me up my dear and tell me more of your dragon dreamsā€ Viserys tells (Y/N) as she helps him sit up.
ā€œIā€™ve seen Aegon the conqueror tell Aenys about the song of ice and fire and Iā€™ve seen whatā€™s to come from the Northā€ (Y/N) tells Viserys.
ā€œMy mother and Daemon will be here tomorrow to fight for Jacaerys claim to Driftmark my mother will need you grandfather I know Alicent and Otto see to these things but you must be there to protect my mother and our familyā€ (Y/N) tells Viserys.
ā€œI will be there for you all my little dragonā€ Viserys says to (Y/N)
Alicent walks into the room along with the maester and Otto.
ā€œYour Grace it seems that Princess (Y/N) has brought some bastard children into the Keepā€ Otto says to Viserys angrily.
ā€œYou did what my dear?ā€ Viserys asks (Y/N).
ā€œYes grandfather of course I didnā€™t they were fighting for money and they of our blood I wonā€™t leave them to die they are small childrenā€ (Y/N) tells Viserys.
ā€œWho is their father ?ā€ Viserys asks (Y/N).
ā€œThe three belong to Aegonā€ (Y/N) tells Viserys.
ā€œWhere are the children now?ā€ Viserys asks (Y/N).
ā€œThey are with my handmaidens getting cleaned and fedā€ (Y/N) tells Viserys.
Now
(Y/N) holds Jon close and thinks back to her little brothers all gone too soon.
ā€œLord Stark I will leave him with you because I fear that he will not be the man heā€™s meant to be if he is to come with me but I will come and visit when I can, please take care of him and donā€™t let your wife mistreat him because if she does I will make her pay and I shall bring my son so he will know his other familyā€ (Y/N) tells Eddard.
ā€œWhat do you mean your son, and his other family?ā€ Eddard asks (Y/N).
ā€œMy son was born long ago and like me he has been alive for some time and his father was Cregan Starkā€ (Y/N) tells Eddard as she hands Jon back to him and makes her way to Baelon as they fly away.

I just finsihed None But the Lonely Heart by OccasionalAvenger after seeing your fic rec and loved it even though i dont read much jamie x brienne centric stories.
Do you have any other fic recs from asoiaf/got?
Omg yay Iā€™m so glad you liked it!
If you enjoyed None But the Lonely Heart in terms of setting, here are a few more in-universe fics you might enjoy:
I'm dying to be born again by angel_deux
After the wars are done, Daenerys is queen of the six kingdoms. Jon and Sansa Stark rule the north. And Jaime serves as a hostage in Kings Landing to ensure his brother's good behavior. When Tyrion schemes to see Jaime married off and removed from the city, Jaime is allowed to choose his wife.
He should be happier that the woman he loves is quick to accept his proposal. Except maybe it's too quick. And she just says, "all right". And she calls it sensible.
Bound by the Things We Choose by winterkill
Jaime's pretty certain he would remember standing across from the dour, hulking Maid of Tarth and swearing to be with her until the end of his days.
Personally, I love an AU. These are the ones I always return to:
Light a fire, burn up all you know by brynnmck
When rich, arrogant Jaime Lannister swans into Brienne's dad's diner and spends the whole time making out with his rude stepsister, Brienne couldn't be more relieved that she'll probably never have to see either one of them again. The only problem is, over the next 15 years, Jaime keeps coming back.
Or: five letters that Brienne burned, and one she didn't.
Same Time, Next Year by angelowl
ā€œIā€™m Jaime,ā€ he says, his eyes gleaming with laughter.
Thereā€™s a wicked edge to his mirth that makes Brienne wonder if itā€™s her freakishness thatā€™s the butt of his joke so she spins on her heel and stiffly marches away.
After that, Jaime inexplicably keeps seeking her out.
The Dark, Dread Toyshop by Miss_M
The summer she turns sixteen, Brienne suffers a grave loss. She and her siblings are forced to move in with their Uncle Tywin and his sons, who own a fabulous and eerie toyshop. Sexual awakenings occur, dark family secrets are revealed, and puppet theatre echoes real life.
Baby I Will by sdwolfpup
When a country singer with a stripper's name and a model's looks strolls into Selwyn's bar to perform one Tuesday night, bartender Brienne isn't sure what to expect. What they both end up with is so much more than they bargained for.
Brienne, Plain and Tall by greenmtwoman
Farmer with two children and substantial property in the West seeks a wife. Requirements are honesty, sobriety, a strong back and a thick skin. A practical arrangement will be made. Beauty is unnecessary and intimacy not expected. Interested parties should contact Mr. Jaime Lannister, Casterly Farm.
Did this Mr. Lannister want a wife or a hired hand? But in either case what did she have to lose?
Or if youā€™re in the mood for some longer-form reading, these are amazing:
The Lion, The Wench, and the Wardrobe Trailer by GilShalos1
Jaime Lannisterā€™s entire acting career has been built on playing reckless cads and heartless villains ā€“ ever since a scandalous death on his first film, Kingslayer, was quickly hushed up at his fatherā€™s behest. Nearly fifteen years later, acclaimed director Olenna Tyrell has announced her retirement: after one last film, Oathkeeper, inspired by the mythic story of the Long Night. She wants Jaime to do what he does so well, play into his on-screen persona and off-screen reputation, and be a villain for the ages in her final film. But to make sure his infamous ways donā€™t interfere with production, she requires his personal assistant to keep him on the straight, narrow and sober. Brienne Tarth, in her first job on a film set, finds herself tasked with keeping the impossible Jaime Lannister under control ā€¦
Heart Full of Gasoline by sdwolfpup
Jaime Lannister is a Formula 1 driver with a sordid past, dubious future, and nothing left to lose as he hits the far edge of his career. He thinks all he wants is the world championship title heā€™s never quite been able to reach and to finally give up smoking. What he finds to his great surprise is what he really wants might be Brienne Tarth.
Brienne Tarth is an unknown mechanic eager to make the jump to the big time of Formula 1. When Jaime hires her as Chief Mechanic for his team of misfits, she discovers sheā€™s ready for the work, but is she ready for Jaime?

Man I never thought sex pollen would be my first fic contribution to jondami. But uhhh yeah. Here we are I guess. Enjoy!
Rating: Explicit Fandom: DCU Pairing(s): Jonathan Kent/Damian Wayne Length: 13k Chapters: 1/1
ā€œSo. What are your, you know, symptoms?ā€ Jon asked, just like the messages from Oracle told him he should. It suddenly occurred to Jon that Damianā€™s whole family probably knew what was about to happen between them. Man, this whole situation was really weird. Damian muffled a frustrated growl into his knees. ā€œJesus Christ, isnā€™t it obvious?ā€ ā€œOracle said we should debrief first, as long as youā€™re still lucid! And you seem pretty lucid to me.ā€ Thank god. Jon wasnā€™t sure what heā€™d have done if Damian hadnā€™t been. ā€œCā€™mon Iā€™m just following protocol. I donā€™t want your family coming after me with pitchforks when youā€™re sober again. And I need to know that youā€™re, you know, okay with this before I do anything. Work with me here, please?ā€ Another flinch and a tense pause. ā€œFine,ā€ Damian hissed, voice tight with frustration. He was trembling slightly all over, Jon noticed. ā€œAlthough ā€˜badā€™ is honestly a very accurate descriptor. I feel unpleasantly warm and out of breath and light-headed. Everything aches. And worst of all, I keep feelingā€¦ā€ He squeezed the last word out through gritted teeth. ā€œUrges.ā€ ā€œRight,ā€ Jon said weakly. He probably didnā€™t need to clarify what kind of urges they were, even if he kind of really wanted Damian to say it out loud for reasons he didnā€™t like to examine. ā€œAnd what do you need out of this?ā€ ā€œWhat do you mean what do I need?ā€ Damian sneered. ā€œDo I have to explain the birds and the bees to you? I thought theyā€™d teach sex ed in the 31st century.ā€

I don't know what I could do to convince you I'm legitimately curious. I am sorry if my response came off as...antagonistic in any way? I assumed you didn't know about otho and osul and tried to say my piece about a public post. I don't think I was being personally rude to you or not.
I also did not know this tag was sarcastic or a joke. Which is why I kept trying to emphasis that I wanted to know. Jon's current story is dealing with a lot of his issues with the superman mantle, so I was wondering if you were referring to that theme for Jon in his current form- him being resentful indirectly of clark because of Ultraman & his inability to fit into the Superman title the way Clark seems to do so effortlessly.
And you did explain to me that the Superman story is something everyone can relate to, so the mention of the current generation of readers having difficult parental relationships and jon being maybe reflective of that- be it due to queerness, general rebellion, or varying opinions- i thought that's what you were referring to in the tag. I did get a little defensive when you mentioned there being a lack of need for bisexual representation since queer rep is so minimal and is dwindling in comics and general mass media.
If you still think I'm not curious. That's fine. Hope you have a good day.
modern day jon kent fans donā€™t shoot me but..,,,,Realistically
if i had never read a comic and you told me ā€œsuperman has a sonā€, itā€™s only truly believable that heā€™s the dad to a happy excitable 10 year old boy
if you were to say ā€œsuperman has a sonā€, an adorable little boy who thinks his dad is the coolest person in the universe and wants to be just like him when he grows up is immediately what iā€™m picturing in my head. not a grown ass man.
superman being the dad to a grown man just doesnā€™t feel right idk he needs to have a little son that he calls his best buddy and they are genuinely besties
ā€œson of supermanā€ feels like a title that belongs to a child character thatā€™s made to appeal to 8 year olds in the real world and give them something to relate to because they can feel like superboy and picture their dads as superman

A DPxDC soulmate au idea
So DCverse is a soulmate world (pick any soulmate way btw, words, touch, drawings on the skin, can't see color(s) until they see or touch them, etc etc)
DPverse doesn't.
Meaning Danny wasn't born with a soulmark BUT he gets one after becoming a halfa because he is now connected to the Infinite Realms.
SO its during another one of Vlad's schemes, he's popping into different worlds and stealing things or something like that (basically like that one ep where Danny chases Vlad through the timeline after he stole Frostbite's map)
During the chase they pop out into the DCverse in one of the hero cities (pick any, not picky on which) and their fight is getting a bit out of hand (Vlad's fault, he's using the stuff he's been stealing, and Danny is doing his best to getting innocent people from getting hurt)
ANYWAYS during the fight, one of the cities hero's come to try to help/find out whats going on when Danny is hit by Vlad and gets tossed at them. The moment they either touch or Danny/Soulmate says something to the other, Danny feels the odd mark on him burn up and is MEGA confused on whats going on but decides to do what he does best.
Ignore it for now. He'd figure it out later he still needs to stop Vlad.
He apologizes to the other hero and gets back into his fight, missing the look of complete smitten awe/shock said hero had on their face.

From the outline:
"Five central characters will make it through all three volumes, however, growing from children to adults and changing the world and themselves in the process. In a sense, my trilogy is almost a generational saga, telling the life stories of these five characters, three men and two women. The key five players are Tyrion Lannister, Daenerys Targaryen, and three of the children of Winterfell, Arya, Bran, and the bastard Jon Snow."
So in 1993 he didn't have the initial idea of ā€‹ā€‹killing off characters he considered part of the 5 keys until the last book. I've seen a lot of talk about this, but I've always been inclined to believe that they survive despite everything because he said make it through. Some will be happier than others, some will have more bittersweet endings.Ā But that doesn't mean he doesn't think about killing off other main characters with POVS. And he continues to follow these beats. The biggest variations happen with the secondary characters, after all he is a gardener. The story vastly expanded more than imagined. To the point where it has an excessive number of POVs.Ā 
Here are some quotes about the characters and arcs and overall story:Ā 
Has there been a character that you have given a reprieve to, or maybe deviated from the path you originally were going to send them on? If so, whom?
No, not really. In some cases, the chronologies have diverged from what I originally intended, but the overall character arcs remain the same. "I think with Song of Ice and Fire, I'm pretty well hitting all the beats as I originally envisioned them. I haven't taken too many detours."
George: I have always known the broad strokes of the characters since 1991. [Said in the Balticon Report from 2016, SSM] Who is the most major character youā€™ve changed your mind about your plans for?
I donā€™t want to reveal what Iā€™ve planned for some of these characters, butĀ Iā€™m pretty well on track with most of the major characters. Itā€™s minor characters like Bronn that assume greater importance
Q: How different is the plot from what he originally envisioned? GRRM: Not different - just more of it. It has grown in complexity, but he likes it that way because it feels real to him. - SSM 2010
Yeah. I didnā€™t know at first, in ā€˜91 ā€” I didnā€™t know quite what I had yet. I didnā€™t even know whether it was a novel or a novella, or something, at first. So I sort of found that out. But by the summer of ā€˜91, you know, it just came to me out of nowhere, and I started writing it and following where it led. But by the end of that summer I knew I had a big series. Initially, I thought it was a trilogy, but itā€™s grown beyond that.Ā But the size is different, and Iā€™ve introduced some other elements to the books, but itā€™s still the same characters, the ā€˜91 characters.
Do you have an ending already in mind?
I have and have had since the beginning, yeah, in broad strokes. You know, I know the fates of all the major characters but not necessarily the fates of many of the minor characters.Ā And things do change, sometimes, as you approach the finish line. You come up with a better idea or a twist you hadnā€™t thought of when you start. So I leave it open that I may change a few things when I get to the last book. But for the most part, yeah, I know how itā€™s going to end.
Do you know the ending?
I know the ending in broad strokes. I donā€™t know every little twist and turn that will get me there, and I donā€™t know the ending of every secondary character. But the ending and the main characters, yeah.
Tyrion/Arya/Jon > Ramsay/Farya/Jon.Ā The deadly rivalry aspect got switched to Jon and Ramsay.Ā It just doesn't have the romantic element, but it serves the narrative purpose of propelling Jon forward. To be fair, we have no idea how much was discarded from the outline until the books are all out. And as he himself confirmed, he continues to follow many of these beats. They may alternate in details, but they will arrive at the same place. He notably dislikes outlines, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have them, even the affc/adwd ones leaked. He also created new characters to fulfill narrative functions. Meraa takes on the role of Bran's protector instead of Arya. But there's nothing stopping Arya from also having that role in the future or going beyond the wall. Many of the characters marked for death in the outline died. Cat was always supposed to die and be reborn, whether imbued with ice or fire magic. Tyrion would be betrayed by his family and switch sides. While other characters were expanded when they became POVS characters. Aspects of Jaime from the outline went to Cersei and so on.
I'm not saying that the outline is the most relevant piece of paper in the saga. However, there is a grain of truth and many themes there that were recycled, used and molded into new narratives. The outline implies R + L = J and Bran King, for example.
Some others quotes:Ā 
"I think you need to have some hope...we all yearn for happy endings in a sense. Myself, Iā€™m attracted to the bittersweet ending. People ask me how Game of Thrones is gonna end, and Iā€™m not gonna tell them ā€¦ but I always say to expect something bittersweet in the end," he said. "You can't just fulfill a quest and then pretend life is perfect."
"Iā€™ve said before that the tone of the ending that Iā€™m going for is bittersweet. I mean, itā€™s no secret that Tolkien has been a huge influence on me, and I love the way he ended ā€™Lord of the Rings.ā€™ It ends with victory, but itā€™s a bittersweet victory. Frodo is never whole again, and he goes away to the Undying Lands, and the other people live their lives. And the scouring of the Shire ā€”brilliant piece of work, which I didnā€™t understand when I was 13 years old: ā€™Why is this here? The storyā€™s over?ā€™ But every time I read it I understand the brilliance of that segment more and more. All I can say is thatā€™s the kind of tone I will be aiming for. Whether I achieve it or not, that will be up to people like you and my readers to judge."
"We all yearn for happy endings in a sense. Myself, Iā€™m attracted to the bittersweet ending. People ask me how Game of Thrones is gonna end, and Iā€™m not gonna tell them ā€¦ but I always say to expect something bittersweet in the end, like [J.R.R. Tolkien]. I think Tolkien did this brilliantly."
Considering how often he talks about the ending of LOTR I think he genuinely thinks along the same lines. Some will rebuild their lives, others will find peace, but not necessarily be super happy. It's true that Grrm subverts many expectations, but he also enjoys and plays with various tropes. As I said, Fevre Dream got a bittersweet ending too.
GRRM wanted to subvert the usual tropes
Remember GRRM started out his series with the intention of writing something that didn't follow the typical tropes and conventions of previous works. GRRM wanted to subvert the usual tropes like the secret hidden 'prince who was promised' perhaps by having that person be illegitimate - Jon fulfills some prophecy by blood, but not through a legal marriage, he is the 'hero' but not the true 'king' at least by rights of succession.
GRRM will not pull a book out of a dark ancient library that gives us all the answers to the past that make everything easy for our characters, or have a weird political marriage between 'siblings / cousins' be what is needed to unite a kingdom (how? everything is fractured, the land decimated, why would the people care about a political marriages in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse?)
Remember GRRM promised or forewarned a bittersweet ending, not all the mains or favorites will survive or have a typical happy ending, and I'm assuming that is especially true for the tortured and much suffering 'hero' - at least that is my gut feeling. To me the two most prominent characters Tyrion and Jon are also the two most likely to die by the end - at least one if not both, driven there by circumstances: blinded by love, rage, or perhaps a noble sacrifice.
Tyrion is already blinded by his hatred and rage, will his better nature win out or will he continue to feed his hatred until his end? GRRM had Jon suffer 'death' and gave us clues that resurrections can happen, but they also alter a person, no matter how Jon manages to remain intact after resurrection, he will not come back the same, there will be notable changes, otherwise why do it in the first place? (the show did this very poorly!)
If they survive they will be much altered, as in not the most well adjusted people, lots of trauma to deal with, to take on the role of the clear-sighted leader needed to rebuild a nation and inspire/lead its people. They maybe able to help and/or advise, but I don't see them as the main leader on top. Both have really been through the most changes physically and mentally and you know it will only get harder and worse by the end, GRRM isn't don't with them yet.
As much as the Stark kids have suffered, I still get a feeling of hope and sense of future with them, they are working hard for some kind of future in mind, they are young and being tested and learning how to be resilient people. They don't know of the larger dealing happening in the world yet, only bits and pieces, but it does feel like GRRM is preparing them to deal with it when their time comes and they finally have full agency to do something. Not sure all will work out, but I just can't see any of them dying or coming to harm by the end of the series. I don't feel any of them have had 'big' player moments yet, so I find it harder to sense a future for them beyond what others speculate on and most of it feels wishful.
As for Dany, she started out subjugated, but quickly found her power and has exerted that power within the story. She is by far the most powerful POV in terms of making changes in the world with large consequences. She means well, but things do not always go well or as she expected. She is learning, but also doing at the same time which makes the outcomes all the more complicated as it affects so many people, and not all of it is welcome change. Dany brings hope, but she also bring chaos, Dany makes friends, but she also makes lots of enemies...
I go back and forth on Dany's ending, mainly because of GRRM trope subversions and with Dany it could go either way. GRRM is building her up for something good and great, but whether she survives or is acknowledged for it? That would be bitter sweet indeed, but also in character for her - well meaning and doing something for the greater good, but often misunderstood or politically attacked by her enemies so that only a few close to her know of her true noble intentions and sacrifices. I want her to live, but I could also see her dying or being killed. She is a symbol and and icon and that is an attractive target for people like Varys or even Cottington, could go either way... I just acknowledge the possibilities.
