#aemondsa fanfic recs

[crimsoncold]

I have already written on length about what I like so much about Aemondsa as a pairing (i.e. the many intriguing parallels between sansa and aemond and the fascinating dynamic that can be explored between them in fanfic) so I won't ramble about that here... just know I have an unapolegetic love for many crack ships/rarepairs including Aemondsa and feel particularly inspired to make fanart when there isn't a ton of appreciation on or art work out there for the pairing (so expect more aemondsa and other sansa rarepairs artwork in the future)!

I owe my discovery of this crack ship to fanfic authors and while I still can't quite decide which aemondsa set up I like more (Sansa sent back in time to the dance of dragons or Aemond being sent forward into game of thrones era westeros) this artwork was inspired by the latter concept (hence me making both a version with the traditional Sansa Stark appearance as well as an Alayne Stone version)

Now here have a list of the Reverse Firesteel fanfics (i.e. aemondsa time travel fics where Aemond is sent forward in time) that inspired this artwork ... highly recommend them if you are a fan of either character... they are all so wonderfully plot heavy while still getting to work as incredible character studies for aemond and sansa (which is really my favorite type of story format).

witchcraft in your lips by @aemondsa

“The past is already written. The ink is dry.”

Aemond Targaryen died in the Battle of Gods Eye, history proclaimed thus.

However, when Aemond Targaryen inexplicably drew breath once more, hundred-and-seventy years had passed since the dragons danced.

He has no dragon, no army, no family, and no throne. Only a bastard girl by the name of Alayne Stone and a dragondream to guide him.

The Great History of the Kings of the Iron throne — The Dragon and the Wolf by @reginarubie

Take heed, you bear in mind the piety you owe unto your country and unto your countrymen, whose slaughter by the treachery of thy blood oath be your disgrace everlasting. Unless you press hardily forward to defend them.

Prince of black and prince of green met across the skies, but only death can pay for life.

Lions and Wolves were dancing a dance he had known before, in glory and clay and steel crowned. The Young Wolf, they said, has fished from the waters a dragonprince of old.

Of the daughter of Winterfell they said she had killed him with a spell, changed into a wolf, grew batlike wings and flew away.

”The Iron throne shall be mine,“ claimed the dragonprince ”and House Stark shall stand behind me and mine“

”My hand for the North,“ said the brave princess and the dragonprince took her hand for his.

At last, she that is oppressed shall prevail, and resist the cruelty of them that came from without. The islands of the ocean shall be subdued onto his power, and the forest of goal shall he possess. The house of the lion shall dread the fierceness of his prowess, and doubtful shall be their end.

— from History of the Kings of the Iron throne by Archimaester Arkibald.

Sing the Sun in Flight by rummy_cat

A fallen prince is found on the shore of the God's Eye lake just as the region's new overlord arrives at the nearby cursed castle with his natural daughter. Together, the three will scheme to restore a dead house and seek vengeance against those that should be, but it will be a long and perilous journey to gain the friends necessary to achieve their goals, while questioning if those they've considered friends from the start can truly be trusted.

Give your heart and soul to charity, 'Cause the rest of you, The best of you, Honey, belongs to me

Ain't it a gentle sound, the rollin' in the graves? Ain't it like thunder under earth, the sound it makes? ...

If I was born as a blackthorn tree I'd wanna be felled by you, Held by you Fuel the pyre of your enemies

Ain't it warming you, the world gone up in flames?Ain't it the life you, you're lighting of the blaze? Ain't you my baby?

Aw! Thank you for the mention! 🫶🏻 for all reverse firesteel lovers of my fic, there’s a special chapter coming soon showing us what occurred in the keep until Sansa and Aemond proceeded back to Casterly Rock.

And this art is just chef kiss!
