Jon Snow x fem!Stannis Baratheon

Jon Snow x fem!Stannis only instead of claiming the throne, she wants to put her younger brother Renly on the throne, whom she had to raise herself because her parents died (as in the canon).

Fem!Stannis (or Shaera Baratheon) is a little softer than Stannis in the original, but this is only with people close to her (Renly, Shireen, Ned).

Since she was the one who raised Renly, she actually takes the role of Queen Mother in her political faction.

She can also be considered quite an powerful woman, as she participates in battles as a commander and naval commander, and Robert during her lifetime granted her the title of master of ships, and a position in a small council held by a woman is rare in Westeros.

Her husband is a rather passive person so he does not interfere much in her plans.

They first meet Jon Snow during the War of the Five Kings.

I don't know how or why this came to my mind, but for some reason I find it interesting to see the relationship between a strong-willed adult woman and her ally-lover, who has ahem ahem mommy issues.

heyyy Im absolutely in love with you genderbent starklings AU. Can u show us more about artos and his relationship with the rest of the starks🥺🥺🥺

Hi!!! I'm so glad you liked it!!!

So for Artos, I kind of had two varying ideas I think can both be explored to some degree and keep very true to how aspects of Arya play out in the books; but honestly I do think in a way, you can't 100% capture the Essence, so to speak, of Arya and Sansa without them being informed by them being a girls in a patriarchal feudal society.

On one hand, playing with Artos trying to embody Arya's gender-nonconformity would be a really interesting path to explore since usually in the books we think of Arya as presenting more masc, vs Sansa being more femme, ie. Arya's sense of alienation stems from her rejection of gender roles whereas in her eyes, Sansa embraces them so effortlessly.

So I think an Artos that is more interested in "feminine" pursuits, and maybe he has a genuine needle, so to speak and prefers to spend time with his mother and sisters as opposed to his father and Symeon and Theon, would be an interesting parallel to draw to Arya's gnc-ness. In this kind of path Artos is definitely a momma's boy through and through, which would probably draw a clearer parallel between Arya being very much similar to Catelyn in personality.

On the other hand, a stalwartly "Northerner" Artos compared to Symeon being squired with the Blackfish would be interesting too, because Symeon, to capture Sansa's brand of idealism and romanticism, her belief in chivalric romances, would need to narratively fulfill a role thematically equivalent to Sansa being the beautiful maiden of song-- Symeon now being the gallant knight.

Meanwhile, the northerners seem more stoic and practical, and Artos might seem cynical about Symeon's ambitions, and Symeon's insistence that life is beautiful or that laws are just or the likes. Symeon is definitely very much Ned's mini-me in that respect, but with Catelyn's sense of being courteously charming, whilst Artos has Catelyn's protective, almost hotheaded nature but with Ned's kind of seriousness in expression.

With Ned and his daughters we see him being somehow clumsily indulgent to them both, even if he does seem to understand Arya better on the surface level in that he hires a swordmaster to teach her (but still insisting that these are just "hobbies" she'll grow out of to eventually marry a lord and have children) whilst he seems totally out of his depth with Sansa. I think he might understand Artos and Symeon a bit more by virtue of being boys he can connect to on that regards.

I think a lot of what will inform Artos's dynamic with his siblings will be what his future path is considered to be as he's the spare to Symeon being the heir. Maybe the castellan or steward of Winterfell? In which case, his parents might betroth him to Jeyne Poole and encourage him to apprentice with Vayon. Maybe the Night's Watch?

I feel that Artos, like Arya has no real desire for like, extolling "traditional" forms of power/authority as regarded by polite society: he's a little unpolished, he's a little reckless, probably a wild wolf like Brandon and Lyanna. I don't think he and Symeon would be quite so antagonistic towards each other as Arya and Sansa are painted as being (both because I feel like their on-page interactions depict their relationship at the lowest point it's ever been due to outside influences and because fans really overblow it into accusations of child abuse and stuff). But I do think they're siblings who bicker a lot. Artos probably makes fun of Symeon with a fake voice and all, for being all puffed-up about becoming a knight, while Symeon is elbowing Artos because he's mouthing off in front of important guests.

With Jonelle, I think ironically Artos's dynamic really does depend on whether we follow Artos as having Arya's personality transplanted onto him directly, or we follow Arya's relationship to gender as part of his story arc. With Arya's personality, I think ironically Artos would be less close in a gender-swapped AU than Arya is with Jon in canon, mostly because as Jonelle is a girl and therefore far less of a threat to the claim of Catelyn's children on Winterfell, there's less of that sense of "oh well, my mom doesn't like him which makes him the perfect person to hang out with!!!" in Arya's kind of contrarian, very typical 9 year old way. Jonelle is no longer the outcast Jon is, while Artos might have a chip on his shoulder for all the reason 9 year olds do, but it's not the chip on Arya's shoulder that has to do with her anger over her inability to conform to gender roles.

Whereas an Artos who is also like Arya of canon gender non-conforming would spend more time with his mother and sisters. Catelyn might want him to pursue squirehood or spend more time with men-at-arms and soldiers, knowing the world would be cruel to him for being gnc. While Ned probably still sees Artos being able to spend time with the Septa and the ladies-in-waiting and his mother and sisters as being a "phase" he's interested in but will eventually grow out of.

Now I'm thinking of Artos as being a bit similar to Vaegon Targaryen in that he doesn't really embody the perfect warrior masculinity his older brothers project.

I rambled on for way too long about this with no sense of cohesion lol

Lady Roslyn Baratheon(Female Robert)

An artwork I commissioned from KITAUMI for my fic of a female Robert AU.

Some details of the art:

Hawking and hunting are hobbies enjoyed by both men and women in Westeros, so there's a falcon on Roslyn's shoulder signifies her passion in it.

She's a little tanned from her love in riding and outdoor activities.

"Renly was handsome as Robert had been handsome; long of limb and broad of shoulder, with the same coal-black hair, fine and straight, the same deep blue eyes, the same easy smile." ---Catelyn, A Clash of Kings

Everything is kept except the straight hair. It's just I feel like curls fit female Robert more for the implication of her wild nature. She's also busty.

She is an alchoholic which implies through the cup of wine she held. If you look at it closely, you will find something interesting.

Roslyn is a spendthrift like Robert, which is evident in the jewelry she wears.

Hi! What do you think a masc lesbian eldest sister Robb would like?

THIS THE TYPA SHIT I BEEN WAITING FOR

Let me just write an entire gender swapped starklings headcanon while I’m at it

Fem!Robb (Roberta? Robina?) my beloved with ur Arya-like tendency to wear boys clothes and riding/sparring leathers. However unlike Arya she’s the smarter eldest daughter and thus not as wild and temperamental, and when will wear a gown when the occasion calls for it (though it’s simple as possible and indistinguishable from serving girls, unless Cat forces her into a proper dress). She’s just as honorable and courteous as her male counterpart, and just as good natured.

When Ned gets got, she takes it upon herself to declare war and save her hostage brothers, as she feels she can’t sit around and let one of her fathers lords do it. It’s her responsibility. It takes a second for the lords to warm up to her as their leader, but eventually they crown their Queen in The North and the Young She-Wolf marches south for vengeance. Armor fits her better than any dress she’s ever worn. It’s a beautiful silver color with the Stark wolf across the chest, fit for a queen but practical enough to survive a battle

And letting Cat convince her to dress up for the red wedding in one of her old dresses from Riverrun out of a sign of respect for the man she was supposed to marry (she slept with Jon Westerling in her grief when she thought her sisters were dead in winterfell bc she is Repressed and then married him for her honor) and she doesn’t wear her usual armor for once. By the end of the night her red gown is dyed a shade darker by her own blood 🤗

Bonus: everyone’s favorite playgirl, hostage, traitor, and currently fem!Ramsays current chew toy. Fem!theon fell first AND fell harder she is a mess for Robb idc this is canon to me. She’s Balon’s less favored daughter (Asha is still a woman bc I think it hurts Fem!theons pride even more) and is trying to emulate Asha the best she can but she’s flopping so hard

ASOIAF AU where Tyrion Lannister was born a girl and ends up as the most depressed lesbian in the Westerlands

[sweetlittlepotato19]

Just imagine a yandere!male!daenerys who has an older brother and sister - viserys and reader (they are twins and spouses). Viserys was strict and sometimes cruel to Daeron, because from childhood he was a burden for him and his sister, so Viserys wanted to throw him, but his sister opposed him. for Daeron, reader replaced the mother figure and always took care of him, but as he grew older, he began to think of her in a romantic sense (besides, he thought that he would be a better husband for the reader than his brother, because Viserys could vent anger on his wife). Viserys and the reader did not have the best relationship due to Viserys's jealousy and tantrums. they were engaged when their father was on the throne, so their relationship is somewhat reminiscent of Rhaella and Aerys, but a little better, since Viserys still loves his wife, albeit in a specific way. During one of Viserys' strongest tantrums, he began to choke reader, Daeron saw this and stopped his older brother with a blow to the head (as in canon viserys died). And now Dany has no rivals for her sister's heart.

I’m not dead! Just really busy is all, I was finally able to complete this for now. To be honest it looks like it’s still unfinished, like it’s missing something. I may go back and attempt to add a filter in the sky (it’s just way too blue), but for now I’m going to leave it as it is. Again this is part of the ASOIAF x Harry Potter crossover universe that I’m working on. I think I may make a separate post that focuses only on the outfits, but for now I’m just going to leave it as it is.

Quick Summary: this focuses on my ASOIAF x Harry Potter crossover self indulgent head cannon. In my head cannon the Peverells happen to descend from Old Valyria, they happened to be a very high ranking family, even above the Targaryens in this case since they were still capable of using magic to its full extent and were not as limited compared to the others that practiced it. Of course the Peverells have their qualities that make them unique especially with the Necromancy aspect. Some events that occur in cannon Harry Potter also end up occurring in this AU, with the Peverells eventually marrying into different houses although their descendants are still held in high regard. The marriage and absorption into House Slytherin (which eventually falls into Gaunt) and House Potter still happens.

In this AU I like to think Harriel (Fem Harry) is closely related to the Targaryens, maybe Fleamont and Charlus mother or grandmother can be a younger Targaryen daughter who was married off into the Potter family. James and Lilly still end up dying, but I like to think the Targaryens were able to plead a case into why it should be them who should foster baby orphan Harriel (plus they get to raise a descendent of one of the most ancient powerful bloodlines that’s descend from Old Valyria). They end up winning their case and go on to raise baby Harrie.

As for Tom/Voldemort, the Gaunts still have some prestige to their name, but still end up in the poor state that they’re in just like in Harry Potter. Ominous is still alive, but he has distanced himself from the main family, he has also been able to build up his own fortune making himself very wealthy, unlike his other relatives. Marvolo and Morfín die, so that’s them out of the way. Before they die Merope was betrothed, but she ends up running off with Tom Riddle Sr. in this case. When Marvolo finds out he’s livid. Merope and Tom elope and do end up getting married, but it doesn’t pan out well. Tom Riddle is still conceived, but in the eyes of his grandfather and uncle he is nothing but a bastard. They plan on handing him over to the Fate or maybe Valyria’s version of it (still haven’t thought that out yet), but of course Marvolo and Morfín end up dying. Merope still dies in childbirth, so Ominous is the oldest remaining Gaunt besides baby Tom. Ominous is informed of this and goes on to meet baby Tom. Ominous meets newborn baby Tom, and Ominous comes to the conclusion that Tom Sr is incompetent to raise baby Tom. He’s able to persuade the Riddles into handing over Tom to him as he plans to raise Tom as his ward until he comes of age, once Tom is of age he will become the new head/lord of House Gaunt. They agree and Ominous does his best into raising Tom.

Tom is still his cannon age when he meets Harriel, but of course wizards/witches age slowly and live longer, plus I like to think that Tom is maintaining a spell that lets him age slower (he still supposed to look middle aged though). The Gaunts and Potters have a rivalry that has been going on for a very long time, reason into why the two look the way they do in the images/drawings. I would like to go more into depth about this AU, but this post has gotten long, so for now this is all the lore dump info behind my Crossover AU.

I'm back from hiatus (again) with another update for my genderbent Theon longfic, Sow the Tide, Reap the Storm. Happy holidays! ❄️

The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.

"For every victory of your traitor brother you will receive a lash"

The boy king had smiled maniacally at the terror on the omega's face who couldn't help but cry when the only shirt that fit him was torn apart.

story in which Samson is a sweet omega who is forgotten by the king after his brutal punishment for considering him a broken toy .

But to ensure pain he marries him to Sandor Clegane and sends him to live in the alpha's chambers. Sandor doesn't plan on taking it until he's older since he's 14.

but Sanson thinks he doesn't want it because of his scars - is it because I'm not pretty anymore? - The question takes the hound by surprise, who is even more surprised when the little bird jumps in to kiss him.

[seleneprince]

For my genderbend au, I was thinking of the following names for the girls:

Female! Jacaerys:

Jacaera: Simple and easy. Obviously I didn’t work my brain hard for this one, but I actually like how it sounds. It reminds of a warrior queen’s name. Her nickname would be “Jera”. 

Alysanne: Rhaenyra would name her like this in hopes her daughter would become a queen as good and beloved like the namesake. And I’ve noticed there hadn’t been more Alysanne Targaryen descendants, which doesn’t sit well to me. Her nickname would be “Lysa”. I like this one too.

Visenya: Rhaenyra always had that name reserved for someone, but she didn’t got the chance to use it until so much later. If she had a daughter, she’ll most likely choose this one, to honour the sister she never got to have. I like the name but I prefer to give her a name that fits her character more.

Elaena: Even though the show decided to completely erase this fact and tried to force an unrealistic narrative with Alicent, canonically Rhaenyra and Laena were besties and had a special bond (it’s heavily implied they were something more). In the books it is said that Rhaenyra flied to Laena’s side when she gave birth and threw herself at her dead body, crying and begging her to wake up. So I feel Rhaenyra would totally name her one of her daughters similarly to her beloved friend/lover.

Female! Lucerys:

Aemma: Like the beloved wife and mother, this would definetly be an option for Rhaenyra. Since in this au fem!Lucerys has a strong resemblance to her grandmother, this will probably cross Rhaenyra’s mind, wanting a chance to honour her mother’s memory (and piss of Alicent). But like with fem!Jace, I want her to have a more original name, separated from another character.

Lucerya: Same thing than Jacaera. I didn’t think too much with this one. I’m not sure if I want them to be just genderbend versions or ocs on their own right, so depending on my choice, I’ll give them “feminized” versions or different ones.

Rhaenys: The least likely one, but I like to imagine the picture created if Rhaenyra named her daughters like the first Targaryen queens. But considering Rhaenys’ posture with fem!Lucerys, this probably won’t sit well, although maybe Laenor would like to name her like his mother too. 

Valaena: Visenya, Aegon and Rhaenys’ mother, the first Velaryon to be known. What better way to honour the family by naming the future Lady of the Tides like this ancestor, while also winking at her Targaryen ancestry?

I have more names, but these ones are the most recurring ones. Let me know what you think!
