#gendrya reunion

[laurellerual]

Hi !! Could you maybe draw how you imagine Arya's reunion with Nymeria in the books ?

I love your art so much !

Lady Stoneheart, Lem Lemoncloak, Thoros of Myr, Tom of Sevenstreams, Harwin, Gendry, Arya, Nymeria and her pack!

This question is very old lol. When I started drawing this I had a quieter and fun scene in mind, then I started adding characters and I got lost. And I've spent way too long arguing with the color palette of this thing. I give up. I hope you like it as it is.

i melted in the shadows (but you found me) (m) ao3

She knows it isn’t fair to ask this of him. To put the decision solely on him, but there is a part of her - the one that had once felt abandoned and betrayed by him - that needs to know.

Needs to know how much of her heart she can give away this time.

reunion?

i heavily dislike when people depict arya hitting gendry in anger when they are reunited with eachother, other than feeding into the feral(she's too far gone)!arya headcanon that this fandom loves, it does not makes sense at all, from the end of agot we can see that arya is developing abandonment issues, that they get stronger and stronger during acok and lastly asos, that's why when gendry takes the decision to stay with the bwb and make a living out of it, arya is not mad, (sure she lashes out in telling gendry that it does not matter to her if he gets hanged due to now being an outlaw) but that is her hurt feelings speaking, she's deeply hurt that another person she considered a close friend is choosing to leave her, this ties with arya's class blindness but i digress, and it's deeply connected to arya's low self-esteem issues, her thinking how she's not good enough for people to actually want her in their life. and that's one of the saddest things about gendrya misunderstanding eachother, we know how much arya's kidnapping affected gendry, how much he has changed, and the brotherhood too, he's doing things that arya would have done/wanted (taking care of orphans) and (meeting her mother and working under her house) when he wasn't sure about them in the first place, he joined the brotherhood because he witnessed them holding a fair trial and most importantly the bwb wanted to help the smallfolk caught in a war-torn country, and he's actually class conscious, gendry knows that his friendship with a northern princess will never be accepted, and all around them indicates that their friendship has run it's course (nevermind they were literally getting jealous about eachother) and exactly at the other side we have arya thinking how everything it's her own fault, and she thinks herself stupid for even trusting gendry and hotpie when it was clear that they never wanted her as a friend in the first place... so with all of this context in the background: why would arya be mad and hit gendry when they finally meet again? i'm not saying that i want them to be the bestest of friends when they see eachother again, they clearly have issues to work on, and honestly i don't see arya considering gendry as trustworthy from the get go like they once were, but after sometime in eachothers company again, i can see them sharing a hug

My favourite kind of Gendrya fic is either a reunion or post-reunion fic or a relationship reveal fic of any kind where Gendry and Arya obviously seem to know each other and Jon is just stood there watching them like:

Book Gendrya Month 2023 - Day 24 and Day 25 - Reunion/War for the Dawn/TWOW Speculation

(Disclaimer: While I do think their relationship in The Winds of Winter and A Dream For Spring will turn romantic, I do not think GRRM will show us anything beyond PG-13 content with them.)

Honestly, I’d just be satisfied with a Gendrya reunion at this point.

[esther-dot]

I don't think Ary@ had crush on Gendry. I think she regards him as her friend and part of pack. Bran crushing hard on Meera is visible. But I don't think Ary@ even think about Gendry in that way. We don't have Gendry pov to access his feelings. What do you think?

I confess, I did think Gendrya was a book thing. I read “My Featherbed” as their song, so I didn't think making it romantic was D&D pulling it out of their asses. To me, Arya and Sansa both have parallels to Lyanna, so it made a lot of sense that she would end up with Robert's son and Sansa end up with Rhaegar's as a way of providing some commentary and criticism of those men.

As in, Robert is told he saw only Lyanna's beauty not the iron beneath, and Gendry meets Arya in disguise and she kicks him and calls him names, so he knows her, not his own creation of a girl, or claim to her. That felt very deliberate to me.

Rhaegar kept poor Lyanna in a tower, far away from her home and family, and I think Jon will be instrumental in reclaiming Sansa's home and returning her to it.

I don't think the lack of Arya having an obvious crush means much as Arya is very young, their reunion was intended to be much later (I assume) at which point the romantic feelings would have kicked in. I guess that has all been set aside now, with the loss of the time skip, but I liked the idea because it allows canon to converse with precanon in a fun way.

We've all heard of the male gaze, but this scene is all about the female gaze and I am 100% for it.

That man. The sizzle. The smoke. The shirt hanging open around his chest.

Bless Joe Dempsie.

Arya coming full force with that "You don't know any other rich girls" and then that twirl as she walked away!?

They cut away because Gendry's jaw was on the FLOOR.

On Gendry's age

Today I read this in the tags of a post I reblogged:

@sunflowersansa I generally agree with the rest but I felt a bit called out on this point as a Gendrya shipper. Short answer: No, Gendry is not older than Jon and Robb.

Many fans have a somewhat out of phase perception of this, in my opinion it's because they have in mind the image of Joe Dempsie who is 10 years older than Maisie Williams (and this is very evident in the first seasons).

This is the generally accepted timeline of events that Gendry is one year younger than Jon and Robb, Dany's age, and four years older than Arya:

The wiki does this calculation taking into account the observations of Ned, Arya and Brienne, but these are only hypotheses of the characters, Gendry does not confirm it (provided that he knows how old he is). Also right after the thought of Ned, Thobo interrupts to tell him that the lad is strong for is age, so I think we can assume thet he look older than he is.

At the end we don't know how old Gendry is. According to the most generally accepted calculation of dates he should have been 13 in the first book. Gendry can easily be at least a year younger than that since Robert could not enter the capital until the end of 283. Perhaps Gendry was a child of the celebrations for the victory of the Rebellion. In my head I usually place him around Joff's age.

Having said that I love this ship but I don't expect or don't want anything explicit to happen between them while they are so young. That doesn't mean I don't hope for a hug after their reunion, or maybe holding hands. If their story ends with Arya's first consensual kiss, my lil' shipper heart will be more than happy.

In the end I think that within Arya's story Gendry's role is mainly to contribute to her reflection on the concept of injustice and classism as well as giving her a companion to interact with. Gendry's journey parallels Arya's in many ways.

Forgive me, the original post had little to do with this thing, but I wanted to write my thoughts about this.

🍂​book!(mostly)gendrya fanfic rec (part one)🍂​

oh boy this is a doozy, so here they are the first one to twenty, most of the summaries were written by me, so if you ask yourself why the summary is really shitty and not appealing, that's why. a high number of these fics are restricted so you'll need a ao3 account to be able to see them. any kind of triggering content i put with the corresponding warnings, same with any minor pairings featured and finally if the fic contains smut (so if that is not a thing you're interested in reading you can skip it)

➤the rabbit by aneedleofmyown - arry and gendry banter/friendship back when they were travelling with the night watch's recruits

➤out of the dark by schwoozie - arry and gendry share a bedroll/cloak on their way north as night watch's recruits

➤my forest lass by theviolentdelight - smut - before the battle against the others arya visits gendry's tent - future au

➤cold by callioope - arya returns to the inn at the crossroads, gendry does not recognize her - future au

➤lay me down by elenei - smut - gendry sees arya wearing a dress once again and pretty much my featherbed starts playing - future au

➤the tilt by acornsandravens - smut - jon arryn sends gendry to the vale and he end up as a knight during the bolton and frey rebellion. arya and gendry meet at a tourney with good old stubborn arya and good old stubborn gendry - canon divergence - arranged marriage - minor bran/meera

➤cloaked by acornsandravens - smut - five times arya and gendry share a cloak and one time they share a cloak with someone else - future au

➤sapling by elephant_eyelash - arry, gendry and hotpie friendship, arry teaches gendry and hotpie about nature

➤conversations with dead people by prettyy_vacant - gendry sees dead people when he's at the crossroads, i know it sounds like a modern au, but it's not - future au

➤forest love by elenei - arya is confused and scared about her feelings for gendry cue godswood love confessions - future au - really minor daenerys/jon - (fic has talks about gendry and lordship)

➤wild forest lass by persuade_me - arya is never found after the fight with joffrey at the trident, she and nymeria have been surviving alone for years until she is found by the inn's blacksmith where she was trying to get produce - canon divergence

➤ser gendry of the hollow hill by vanillamostly - gendry's pov during and after the red wedding do i need to say anything more

➤caught a long wind by macneiceisms - domestic gendrya, arya and gendry arguing about their family sigil - future au

➤warmth by madaboutasoiaf - arya and gendry friendship during the bwb days and the end of said friendship a little bit angsty

➤dream by madaboutasoiaf - gendrya reunion, a really heartfelt one - future au

➤the first one by aliceinwonderunderground - lovely gendrya reunion - future au

➤there us no word for bull in old valyrian by bluethunder - i know that this fic has lord of storm's end gendry, but most importanly has past cat of the canals x young griff, a rare pair that i found actually fun, so this is aegon meeting arya again and trying to woo her and arya is having none of that also it has dany as a interpreter and a reversal in the targaryen-stark-baratheon debacle of old time - future au

➤the green eyed monster by joyblue - going to copy the fic summary because it's perfect, times the green eyed monster visited catelyn, ned, jon, sansa and gendry all because of arya. it has gendry being legitimized by stannis, but he doesn't get storm's end - canon divergence

➤fair gendry & ser arya the gallant by macneiceisms - smut - forge sex with first times and love confessions other than arya saying that sansa would understand her wanting to be with gendry and not be betrothed to some lord (we know sansa would not) is pretty much perfect - fluffy fluff - future au

➤don't go without me by like_a_dove - gendrya childhood friends in winterfell, basically gendry is hidden in winterfell and you know how it goes with this couple - friend to lovers, but arya is betrothed to lord edric dayne of starfall and their time together is coming to an end - canon divergence

[lexmalla0lexnulla]

@ all the gendrya people making posts/art/fics thank you for doing gods work i love you all 💖💖🌻🌻

[chocolatecarstairs]

a concept:

everyone gathers after the battle of winterfell. gendry and arya see each other and visibly relax. gendry looks at arya and raises an eyebrow, silently asking are you okay? arya nods almost imperceptibly and raises her eyebrow to give him the same look. he nods. they both relax even more and maybe even give a small smile. nobody in the group notices.

[hoist-the-colours]

Gendry: So I take it.. you weren't slaughtered at the Red Wedding.

Arya: And... you weren't murdered by that red witch.

Gendry: ...

Arya: ...

HUGS!!!
