#she had two mentions by Jamie and a dream (via @15-lizards)

Not to be an "actually..." kinda nerd, but actually, there's a lot of Dance-era fic and art that dates to pre-F&B? We had The Princess and the Queen since 2013 and The Rogue Prince and The World of Ice & Fire since 2014, and TRP/TPATQ are really not at all different when it comes to Daemon and Criston. lol heck, Daemon doesn't even exist in main ASOIAF (Criston at least got 2 brief mentions by Jaime and Arys/Arianne) so how could anyone write him if there wasn't something to work with? The only thing F&B really did was popularize the text that was previously only available to people willing to either spend $50+ on two anthologies or to pirate it.

criston x daemon yaoi on ao3 predates fire and blood the fujo spirit is unbreakable. where is miss_m today

#guess which one i did lol #i do salute miss_m for writing for that more obscure asoiaf history novella audience and the even smaller audience of criston fans #also these days miss_m is apparently writing for *really* obscure fandoms... oh yuletide prompts that makes sense #especially since criston/daemon was a rarepair fest prompt. also they're @miss-m-calling on tumblr and still into criston yaoi! huzzah \o/#but anyway it's kinda funny that so many people have been wiki warriors for a decade. except of course for us 🏴‍☠️ and those made of money #oh and twoiaf readers of course. that book was pretty popular and though pricey was at least all asoiaf and not one novella out of a dozen #btw unlike daemon (who afaik didn't exist as a character until 2011 though apparently grrm always knew rhaenyra's last husband was a targ)#aemond did get a single mention in adwd! i think he's the only dance character who did besides rhaenyra criston vis1/2 and aeg2/3 #asoiaf #criston cole #daemon targaryen #fire and blood #the rogue prince #the princess and the queen #fanfic #asoiaf fandom #is highly resilient but even we couldn't invent daemon out of absolutely nothing lol #queue and me we're in this together now
