#i can try writing about brienne but i haven't watched GoT

[cappulcino]

Navigation post / Masterlist

Hello, everyone! My name is Ash (though you can also call me Samael), and I am a storyteller in the making. I have always been reluctant to share my work, but in the spirit of self-improvement and because I actually love writing so much, I recently decided to take the leap.

All of my works will be posted here, as well as on AO3 (though only accessible if you're logged into your account).

Requests now open!

My requests are currently open for ficlet prompts. It would really help me get back in the mood for writing and then maybe I can also finish my WIPs (see list below).

What I will write:

Character x character

Character x OC

Character x reader

Almost all genres

Adult content I feel comfortable with

What I will not write (unless maybe you pay me? 👀):

Any pairing including a real person (no actor x reader or shipping real celebrities together)

Adult x minor interactions other than parent/child or hurt/comfort settings

Pairings with two characters played by the same actor (I personally don't like it)

Graphic depiction of extreme violence

Extreme sexual kinks unfit for public viewing

Anything in a style I deem too different from mine/the style I want to develop

Anything so personal in a character x reader request that nobody else could enjoy the fic

(List to be completed later)

You can check the fandoms I currently write for on my profile in my bio. They are in "order", meaning they go from most to least interested in as of today and/or from most to least "knowledgeable". If the fandom you're looking for is not in my profile, it's no use asking; I either don't want to write for it or don't know anything about it.

Fanfictions will be under #cappulcino writes. Answered asks will be under #cappulcino replies. (For lack of a better free tag)

Getting to Know You

Three ships: Only three?! I have an armada. :D

Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (MCU and comics)

Lan Mandragoran/Moiraine Damodred (The Wheel of Time) I watched the show's first season in July and fell ass over teakettle for them. The show made me ship it; I've only read a little of the first book in Robert Jordan's series. I know, I know, they're supposed to be platonic, and I respect anyone who only sees them in that light. Sue me for being a contrarian shipper.

Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth (Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire) The show ultimately did them dirty, but until then, they were perfection. "It's yours. It will always be yours." *sigh* Kill me now. I ship them in the books, too, but I haven't read all of them—yet.

Liam Dunbar/Theo Raeken (Teen Wolf)

Bill Tench/Holden Ford (Mindhunter) They were super messy and compelling and I will forever be bitter they canceled Mindhunter.

First ship: Hm. I'm not sure, but I think the first ship I wrote fic for was either Jason Morgan/Brenda Barrett (General Hospital) or Jason Morgan/Elizabeth Webber (General Hospital). The first ship I shipped was either Jo/Teddy (Little Women by Louisa May Alcott) or Anne Shirley/Gilbert Blythe (Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery). ;)

Last Song: Lover, Don't Leave by Citizen Shade

Last Movie: Red, White & Royal Blue It was okay, but even though I started but didn't finish the book a while ago, I still think I preferred the book.

Currently Reading: I finished They Called Us Exceptional: And Other Lies That Raised Us by Prachi Gupta a few days ago and am still recovering. I don't usually listen to audiobooks, but I decided to check one out from our library using Libby, and am currently listening to Educated by Tara Westover while I do other things. And I'm reading The Phantom Twin by Lisa Brown.

Currently Watching: DH and I are slowly and occasionally watching Better Call Saul. We watched Breaking Bad years ago but never got around to trying BCS until recently. DH, my kids, and I are slowly and occasionally watching Abbott Elementary. I've seen it all already; the rest of my family only recently discovered its greatness. ;)

While doing cardio at the gym, I recently finished watching Good Omens and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. Good Omens is a fun romp. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, a Korean drama, is funny, sweet, and chock full of small-town, found-family vibes. Not sure what I'll watch next. Does anyone have any recs for me?

Last Thing I Wrote: The last thing I wrote is a Steve Rogers/Tony Stark fic that I posted on AO3 in June.

I'm really fortunate, and I have a great life, but it's also really stressful; I haven't figured out yet how to manage the stress so I can be creative more consistently. So while I'd love to write more and write more often, I don't know how—at least not yet. But it's October now, which also means it's Flufftober. I might try to fill some Flufftober prompts.

Tagging: I always worry about unintentionally excluding people or pressuring them with these tag games, so please consider this an open tag. If you see this and want to do it, go ahead—and @ me so I can see your answers. :)

4, 19 and 24 for the fic writer asks!

Asks!! I love asks, thank you!!! ❤️

4. A story idea you haven't written yet.

I'm currently plotting out a Top Chef AU. I am totally obsessed with the show--in fact, one of my prompts in last year's fic exchange was inspired by it. I have a very basic outline that I'm slowly but surely expanding, so watch this space, because I suspect this is going to be my next baseball story...

19. The most interesting topic you've researched for a fic.

There was a ton of research that went into the baseball story to make it as realistic as I could (which probably still didn't come close to reality), and don't get me wrong, it was plenty interesting. I learned a lot! But I had a lot of fun doing the research for you who know what love is, especially looking up what people called certain...er, parts of their anatomy. (What Jaime told Brienne was real to the time period.) Most fun? From A Love to Last--how fast can a drag queen make a dress? According to RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars 6, Ra'Jah O'Hara made a dress in one minute. According to cell phone camera footage of Miss Bianca Del Rio live, approximately three. Whichever it is, I had a lot of fun finding out (because I got to watch RPDR and Bianca's always a riot).

24. How do you recharge when you're not feeling creative?

Argh. A good question since I've been struggling with that for much of the first five months of this year, although real life hasn't helped. Mostly, I try not to beat myself up about it. So I've been reading some fics, and rewatching my favorite episodes of Top Chef (ahem, no reason, why do you ask??) and I know from long experience that I'll eventually break through and when I do, I'll end up writing a lot.

Mom and I React to Game of Thrones 8x05

Before the Show

Mom: "I hope we don't cry. They're killing characters. That poor girl just got beheaded and she was totally innocent."

Me: "I don't think we'll cryat t his one. I think we'll cry at the last one."

Mom: "I just wanna see The Hound kill The Mountain."

-

Recap

Cat hears the recap and hops over to the bed. We haven't watched all week and he's missed it. We hummed the Game of Thrones theme during the Handmaid's Tale recap but it wasn't the same. He knew.

Mom: "Stupid, Jamie. Stupid. Stassi's gonna kill him."

Cersei. She means Ceresi.

-

The Map

We hum the theme with gusto to make up for trying to fake the cat out yesterday and the day before

Me: "I can't tell what's on the ring. A dragon and something else."

Mom: "Okay, I couldn't tell either."

-

Dragonstone

Varys writing a scroll about the true heir to the iron throne

Me: "Ohhh Varys!"

Mom: "Ohhh shit!"

Tyrion watches Varys talk to Jon

Me: "He's going to tell her."

Sure enough

Daenerys decides Jon, Sansa, Tyrion, and Varys all betrayed her

Me: "Oh, man. She is LOSING it."

Varys writes on a scroll

Mom: "He's sending them everywhere."

Me: "He's not going to get to send them out."

Varys hears footsteps and burns the scroll, takes off his rings

Mom: "He's about to get killed."

Varys is escorted out and Tyrion tells him he was the one who told

Me: "Tyrion knows! He knows she's out of her mind!"

Mom: "He thinks he can influence her."

Daenerys: "Dracarys."

Me: "Look at Jon eyeing her like 'What the fuck?'"

Daenerys dismisses Grey Worm but calls him something else

Me: "Did she rename him at some point?"

Mom: "I think so."

Daenerys tries to kiss Jon

Me: "They're related and that weirds him out."

Mom: "They're not really, though."

Me: "She's his aunt."

Mom: "But... He's only half Targaryen."

Me: "Her BROTHER is his FATHER. She's his fucking aunt."

Mom: ".... Oh."

Tyrion: "Please, if you hear them ringing the bells, call off the attack."

Me: "Oh boy."

Mom: "She's not gonna have any mercy. She's going to kill them all."

Me: "I never thought I'd be rooting for Cersei to win."

-

King's Landing

Mom: "What are all these people moving in?"

Me: "Yes. Cersei's bringing the townspeople inside the walls so Daenerys will have to kill all the innocent people to get to the castle."

Mom: "SO THOSE PEOPLE ARE JUST BARRIERS FOR HER?! Oh, this is fucked up."

Arya: "I'm Arya Stark. I'm here to kill Queen Cersei."

Me: "Hah!"

Tyrion goes to see Jaime

Mom: "Stooge."

Me: "Tyrion's gonna have to let him out."

Tyrion produces a key

Mom: "Well, they're both dying now."

Tyrion tries to convince Jaime to escape with Cersei

Me: "He's like 'You don't get it...'"

Tyrion tells Jaime to convince Cersei to surrender the city

Me: "This whole thing hinges on Jaime?! FUCK."

Tyrion: "You were the only one who didn't treat me like a monster. You were all I had."

Me: "Aww. He's so scared for him."

Mom: "He knows he just sacrificed his life for that. Ring the goddamn bells. Do you think it's gonna matter? I don't think she's gonna care. She just wants revenge, they're all gonna go, because those people don't love her. She's gonna fill the city with her own people who live her."

The armies prepare for defense

Mom: "She's not gonna leave. She is not gonna fucking leave."

Me: "Jaime's gonna leave her."

Mom: "He's gonna die with her."

Arya and The Hound

Mom: "I hope she kills her and I hope he kills The Mountain."

Me: "He's gonna have to kill The Mountain for her to get to the Queen."

Jaime walking with his golden hand plainly visible

Mom: "COVER YOUR FUCKING-- Oh, he IS dumb."

Daenerys's army is revealed in full

Mom: "Oh Christ!"

Me: "Well because now they also have the wildlings and the northmen."

Mom: "She's not going to surrender. But she doesn't know The Hound and Arya are coming in. Shit, they closed the gate! They didn't get in!"

Me: "Arya and The Hound got in."

Mom: "Oh. Oh, HE didn't get in! But he knows the castle like the back of his hand."

Me: "Hah!"

Mom: "Oh! That wasn't even on purpose."

The army waits

Mom: "The air's changing. She knows about the harpoons so she's gotta have a plan."

Me: "Coming at them from behind maybe?"

Drogon comes barreling down

Mom: "Ooh right in the middle so they have to spin around to aim."

Me: "They can't spin them fast enough."

DRACARYS

Mom: "And they gotta reload. Not fast enough."

Me: "Jaime's gonna see all this and go 'Fuck.'"

Grey Worm, Jon, and the Essos army

Me: "These guys are just waiting."

Mom: "She's not done with the fleet yet."

BOOM

Mom: "WOW! She just took them all out."

Me: "And this guy doesn't even know what happened."

Dothraki

Mom: "Dead."

Me: "She's got people on foot, people on horseback, and the dragon in the sky."

Mom: "And there's only so many harpoon things and he's burning them all."

Me: "And this isn't taking very long at all."

Cersei watches

Mom: "And she's watching it all."

Tyrion walks through the carnage

Mom: "No bells."

Me: "Nope."

Kyburn gives Cersei the rundown

Cersei just nopes him

Me: "So she's just delusional then."

Jon and co get to the castle guard

Mom: "Throw your arms down."

Me: "Tyrion's waiting for the bell and nothing's happening."

Mom: "Nope."

Dragon lands and the castle guard all look at each other and drop their weapons

Me: "She's still gonna do it."

Mom: "They're all yelling to ring the bells."

Me: "Jaime's gonna do it. He's just gonna run up and ring it."

Mom: "The queen hears it."

Me: "Daenerys hears it too."

The bells ring

Me: "She's gonna do it anyway."

Daenerys hears the bells and looks psychotic

Me: "This is like Carrie 'They're all gonna laugh at you!'"

Mom: "She's flying right for the queen."

Drogon lights up the townspeople

Mom: "SHE'S DOING IT ANYWAYS!"

Me: "Jon's going to lose his shit."

Army starts attacking

Me: "Jon can't believe this. Because they surrendered. Jon's gonna kill her for this. He's horrified."

Mom: "He's gonna kill Grey Worm."

Me: "No, he and Grey Worm are in the same boat."

Brutal carnage

Me: "This is horrifying."

Cersei just stands there

Me: "Bitch, she is COMING for your ass. Like, grab a sword. Do something."

Yuron: "Kingslayer!"

Me: "Oh!"

Yuron vs Jaime

Me: "Really? This is what we're watching right now?"

Yuron gets a stab in

Me: "REALLY?! THIS IS HOW HE'S GONNA DIE? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

Jaime wins

Me: "I guess he's not dead yet."

Yuron: "I'm the man who killed Jaime Lannister."

Mom: "No one's gonna know it, dingaling."

Castle legit is falling apart

Mom: "So much for the iron throne. She's not gonna have one."

The Hound: (to Arya) "You come with me, you die here."

Mom: "He saw it in the fire."

Ceiling caves the fuck in as Cersei and co are running down the stairs

Me: "Oh my fuck."

Mom: "Nothing left! It's all open."

The Hound: "Your Grace." *cuts down some soldiers*

Me: "'Sup? No big deal."

The Mountain kills Kyburn and abandons Cersei and Cersei awkwardly shuffles out

Me: "She's like 'Um... byyyyyye.'"

Cersei crosses the map on the floor

Me: "Is she gonna go right by Arya?"

Mom: "No! Jaime!"

Me: "He's about to die. He's bleeding out."

Mom: "They're both gonna die."

Me: "He's gonna tell her there's a boat, or try to get her there if he makes it."

The Hound vs The Mountain

Me: "All he has to do is throw Big Bubba over the side."

Mom: "He stabbed him!"

Me: "Yeah, but he's inhuman now."

The Mountain shoves The Hound down the stairs

Mom: "Arya's gonna go back to help him."

Arya's gauntlet run

Me: "She's gotta get the fuck out of there. She didn't see any of this She got in before this happened."

Arya falls

Me: "OH NO!"

Keeps switching between The Hound and Arya

Me: "Did this become Inception? The fuck?"

The Hound keeps trying to stab The Mountain

Me: "Head! Eyes!"

The Hound stabs him in the head

Me: "HE'S STILL FUCKING ALIVE!"

The Hound tackles The Mountain off the side

Me: "They dead."

Green explosions

Me: "The fuck is that?"

Mom: "Wildfire."

Me: "Oh fuck!"

Jon sheaths his sword

Me: "Jon's like 'Fuck this. I'm out.'"

Arya passed out

Mom: "Oh no!"

Me: "I don't think she's dead."

Arya gets up, then gets quickly blown aside again

Me: "Jesus fuck!"

Arya finds survivors and tries to usher them to safety

Me: "Arya, MVP as always."

Suddenly we're in the tunnels

Me: "..."

This rapid scene switching is ridiculous

Mom: "It's all caved in! They can't get out."

Me: "That's what you fucking get, Jaime. You dumb fuck. You could've had a happy life with Brienne, but NOOOOO."

Cersei finally realizes she's not fucking immortal

Me: "TOO FUCKING LATE!"

Cave in

Mom: "That's it, they're dead."

Ashes

Mom: "She destroyed the whole place. So where's your fucking throne, under rubble? There's nobody left."

Me: "Jon is going to fucking kill her for this. She just murdered an entire city and made his people do it too."

Mom: "And they surrendered."

Me: "Arya! There's Arya! She can't believe it either. She's like 'What the fuck?' There's the little girl and her mother she tried to save, burned alive. And those were innocent people. She's like 'What the fuck?'"

Mom: "Oh, a horse! Get on the horse!"

Arya rides off

Me: "BYE!"

Mom: "She went insane! She just went absolutely insane."
