#i miss the gendrya fandom

[thisonetimeinmeridian]

I miss Gendrya, they were my happy place. I miss thinking about them.

[pixiecactus]

i don't ship jonrya (gendrya it's the one for me tbh) but i swear it bothers me so much that people in this fandom like to discard jonrya like something absurd, that really has no foundation in the books (i can only think of one jon's ships that is like this and it's not jonrya let me tell you) when we have time and time again in both of arya and jon's chapters actually shown how they are so devoted to eachother, making one of the strongest bonds in the entire series, even if you don't take the og outline (jonrya endgame) in consideration:

in agot:

"And Arya…he missed her even more than Robb, skinny little thing that she was, all scraped knees and tangled hair and torn clothes, so fierce and willful. Arya never seemed to fit, no more than he had…yet she could always make Jon smile. He would give anything to be with her now, to muss up her hair once more and watch her make a face, to hear her finish a sentence with him."

and:

"She would have given anything if Jon had been here to call her “little sister” and muss her hair."

in acok:

"When at last she slept, she dreamed of home. The kingsroad wound its way past Winterfell on its way to the Wall, and Yoren had promised he’d leave her there with no one any wiser about who she’d been. She yearned to see her mother again, and Robb and Bran and Rickon . . . but it was Jon Snow she thought of most. She wished somehow they could come to the Wall before Winterfell, so Jon might muss up her hair and call her “little sister.” She’d tell him, “I missed you,” and he’d say it too at the very same moment, the way they always used to say things together. She would have liked that. She would have liked that better than anything."

and:

"As he rode, Jon peeled off his glove to air his burned fingers. Ugly things. He remembered suddenly how he used to muss Arya’s hair. His little stick of a sister. He wondered how she was faring. It made him a little sad to think that he might never muss her hair again. He began to flex his hand, opening and closing the fingers. If he let his sword hand stiffen and grow clumsy, it well might be the end of him, he knew. A man needed his sword beyond the Wall."

their current companions remind them of eachother:

“NO!” Arya and Gendry both said, at the exact same instant. Hot Pie quailed a little. Arya gave Gendry a sideways look. He said it with me, like Jon used to do, back in Winterfell. She missed Jon Snow the most of all her brothers.

and romantic interests too:

Ygritte trotted beside Jon as he slowed his garron to a walk. She claimed to be three years older than him, though she stood half a foot shorter; however old she might be, the girl was a tough little thing. Stonesnake had called her a “spearwife” when they’d captured her in the Skirling Pass. She wasn’t wed and her weapon of choice was a short curved bow of horn and weirwood, but “spearwife” fit her all the same. She reminded him a little of his sister Arya, though Arya was younger and probably skinnier. It was hard to tell how plump or thin Ygritte might be, with all the furs and skins she wore.

and i want to end with one of my favourite arya's quotes:

“I know where we could go,” Arya said. She still had one brother left. Jon will want me, even if no one else does. He’ll call me “little sister” and muss my hair. It was a long way, though, and she didn’t think she could get there by herself. She hadn’t even been able to reach Riverrun. “We could go to the Wall.”

so... no, the idea of jon x arya is not strange at all actually

[babyitsbeautiful]

I gotta stop doing these life updates and just get on with it, but nevertheless...

Where do I even start?

I know I promised I would get back to 'crash through the surface' and I swear I will, I feel my creative muse has resurfaced but through a different fandom this time...

Twisters/Glen Powell/Tyler & Kate

I've seen this movie 3 times in the theater and once at a Drive-In but that was kind of a hot mess. Also, Glen Powell-- why, wtf, this man should be illegal in this movie. I live in TN but never got the whole cowboy thing until I saw him in this movie. (Men like that don't really exist here, btw)

I honestly have not loved another fictional couple this much since Gendrya. It's been a minute since I had an unhealthy obsession with something and I am living for it. It has got my love for reading fanfics back to the forefront of my mind again and I feel like I can finally pick back up where I left CTTS off just to get it and Gendrya finished for good. (Gendrya is still the main inspiration behind Beautiful Dangerous and the screenplay I am going to write, so they'll always be in my <3)

Anyway, a lot has been going on this year. A year ago around this time I found out about Lucy's cancer and I can't believe she's been gone for this long. Still miss her everyday. My brother is getting married in October and I'm serving as a bridesmaid, so that should make for a fun story.

But for the moment, I have A LOT going on in August including three out of state trips:

Poll Worker for tomorrow's Election

Nimesh Patel's show at Zanies

5 Days in Florida for my 32nd Birthday

Dermot Kennedy show at Blue Bird Cafe (tickets on sale Friday, wish me luck)

Train & REO Speedwagon Concert

Team Member for Creation Con Indianapolis, Indiana

Then an end of the month Bachelorette trip in Washington D.C.

In the in between days of all of these events, I plan to work on the next chapter of Crash Through The Surface and get that out sometime soon after finishing as well as work on some brewing fanfic ideas for Tyler & Kate in the growing Twisters fandom.

Seriously, go see this movie if you haven't yet.

I already have so many fics to start reading on Ao3 for Tyler and Kate, who needs a ship name BTW. Tate? Kyler? Wrangler Tamer?

Anyways, that's a little bit of where I am right now.

I'm trying to spend less time working on fan art and fics at work due to a new IT system that seems to know everything I download (pics for mood boards being the main) and it's honestly making me very self-conscious so after work is where I'll be letting my creative bitch reign supreme.

I have ideas for Twisters and an outline already for CTTS but any fresh ideas and suggestions are always welcome.

Twisters fandom, if you want a feel of what I love creating the most, search the #gendrya tag on my blog.

Love you all.

[tozierbeeps]

EDIT: I also need friends so if you want to be friends and scream about any of the listed fandoms send me a message or comment or something!

Ok, new blog new me or whatever

I need people to follow!

My main shit right now is The Stand (book) or the Stand 1994. I'll reblog 2020 occasionally but to be honest I couldn't even finish

So

- The Stand

- Stranger Things (elmax, jopper, byler, steveddie, ronance, lumax, and probably some I forgot)

- IT (reddie, hanbrough, Benverly ship wise for the most part though you will see some crackshipping and crossovers)

- Stephen King in general

- OFMD

- ASOIAF/Game of Thrones (braime, gendrya, theonsa MOSTLY I have a bunch of ships)

All of these are probably missing ships and I didn't even touch characters. I'm positive I'm missing fandoms too but alas

[greeneyedwildthing]

Sorry I'm greedy, but I miss your Gendrya stories so anything you feel like sharing about All Our Mistakes and/or Dead or Alive would be appreciated

HEY YOU! 🥰❤️

As a birthday special I'll give you a piece of each! for AOM I actually got side tracked because I had an entire subplot revolving around the upcoming election of Robb Stark. It involved Ramsay Bolton sabotage and the Dothraki biker gang creating chaos that Arya and Gendry would have to solve. I feel like the reason the energy for me to write that fic just fizzled out due to fandom events/nasty anons at the time! For Dead or Alive...every so often I remember I actually have this AU lol, I still have it plotted and there may or may not be a train heist scene involving someone getting stabbed while the other stitches them up 😉

[spectrum-color]

I have been getting more and more into Gendrya lately but the fics in this fandom are super hit or miss because so many of them use show characterization, which I don’t like. Drop me your best (non smut; it’s fine if it has sex as long as their aged up but I’m not looking for anything hardcore) book accurate Gendrya fic

[buttercuparry]

im sorry but whose fault is that arya is seeing by the fandom as a kid? i've read fics about arya written by arya stans and its always the same: arya being ugly (being seen as ugly even by her own love interest, her own love interest admits sansa is more beautiful than her, etc) which its a lie because arya is beautiful in the books, she was just a child at the start of the series. i have read arya being an infuriating smart ass, arya being a wild thing who insults everyone and hates other women and hates to wear dresses and is always dirty or mean. i stopped reading fics about her to read fics about sansa even if i dont give a shit about her bc sometimes her fics are more mature, idc if she never meets jon in the books, the writers do a really good job portraying jon being in love with her and thats all i care and want to read in a fic where they are the main pairing. that doesnt happen in jonrya fics and its sad bc they have so much evidence in the books.

I don't know why you came into my inbox.

I mean if you like reading jonsa fics and find jonrya fics to be lacking, then that depends on your personal tastes.

Like what was your thought process here? Did you want me to argue with you on how jonrya fics are the best form of art (TM) and scream how wrong it is of you to find it lacking? lmao.

I personally find jonrya fics to be scrumptious. Even if in those fics the author chooses to say that yes, Arya is not the fairest of them all: even then. And do you know why is that? Because that is true. Arya is not the fairest maid in Westeros. Neither was Lyanna. But our frustration comes when your people has repeatedly tried to impress on a stupid theory that Arya is too ugly to be loved, too wild to be loved and therefore it is impossible for her and Lyanna to look alike. Lyanna was a wild beauty but Cersei is said to be much more beautiful than her. Dany with her Targaryen features is canonically one of the best looking woman in perhaps the whole Planetos. But both of these facts do not take away from either Arya or Lyanna. Do not pretend that you who has read their fics, perhaps even went about in their circles, don't know that they have the tendency to push the, "why would Jon look at Arya if Sansa is there". As if Jonrya hinges on Jon losing his heart over Arya's beauty.

And yes, you asked whose fault it is that Arya is seen as a kid? Well tell me then why whenever we discuss Arya's potential love interests, edit any love scene for jonrya or gendrya, write metas or smutty fics of an aged up Arya or generally fool around with any ship regarding Arya, why do we have people coming into our inboxes, calling us pedophiles for sexualizing an 11 year old. Why was there a shock over show!Arya initiating intimacy with Gendry because apparently to them Arya was a kid?

And yes you are right even within our circle, we have had certain Arya Stans who had on them a stronger impression of the fanon/show version of Arya than of the actual canon version of Arya, but lmao none of them villainize Arya the way jonsas do. None of them villainize Arya for being the wild thing she is, for wanting to live as she wants, for not falling in line with Sansa's ideals. And I think you too have missed the point of my earlier post.

Arya is not just pretty girl. I wasn't screaming about people's inability to see Arya as such (as much as it frustrates me that they cling to the label of horseface that her bullies gave to her). My post was about people thinking Arya needs to be a prettiest girl in the whole of Westeros to have romance storyline, because they can't see a rebellious woman, a woman who has refused to bind herself in the narrow constructs of society ever wanting a family of her own. Ever wanting a lover whom she desires.

Also yeah there is this constant tussle, almost an obsession among your preferred faction to put Sansa at the highest pedestal when it comes to beauty and us even mentioning that: hey Arya is pretty as well sets them off in hilarious ways..

[yanak324]

saw that you had updated the gendrya fic and i’m so glad the gendrya fandom is slowly coming back (after the drought that was last year)! i missed the characters and the amazing writers (you, lightninginabottle0613, and kelleesi we’re my absolute favourites) 💜

Sweet anon!! What a lovely message to get :) I agree that the gendrya fandom has been in quite a drought and am happy to see it being revived a bit...

Similar to you @lightninginabottle0613 is one of my favorite writers in this fandom (and in life in general) but while she remains in hibernation, may I suggest two lovely, smutty stories by another fave of mine @fineosaur-writes.

lavender kiss (m) - After losing a bet, Gendry and Arya have to attend a Halloween party as a slutty doctor and slutty nurse. 

only our love (e) - Arya and Gendry cross paths ten years after they last meet in ASOS. 

Both outstanding stories!!! Enjoy and thank you so much for this sweet message <3

[whatmakesmebleed]

I’ve had this blog for almost 10 years and just now reached 200 followers. Though it’s not about that it’s been so wonderful to find a community again in fandom.

I have loved every minute of returning back to tumblr and finding the Gendrya fandom. You’ll are amazing. Shout out to @qwillow and @babyitsbeautiful for being amazing friends I’m so glad I got to meet. And @gendryadempsie for letting me send you stuff after a message and giving me my Joe interaction. I hope to make it to Paris next year!! Just feeling nostalgic and happy. Thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome into the fandom world again.

[jjofalltrades]

Since I missed #WIPWednesday and #ThirstyThursday, wanted to do something a little special. Here is a list of some of my favorite fics atm. Super grateful to be around some of the most amazing writers in the Gendrya fandom. If you have any good recommendations, you can add them here as well! too good to be true by @welt-verbessererin This is a collection of short stories that have a touch of everything you're looking for when you need a pick-me-up. I'm also super proud of Laura for spreading her writing wings. The Smith and The Stranger by @thereluctantbadger I have to admit, this one is a favorite of mine because of the unique premises. Not to mention the method of storytelling Badge sends you on while reading. I loved, loved, loved the imagery. showstopper by @keepthemclose If you have not read anything by this writer, please do so in your free time. The chemistry between the love interests is always top tier. You've got the adorable meet-cute, the little gestures of affection, and some *chef kiss* tension. The Wrath of Brothers by @psychvamp25 I need to catch up on this fic but it's one of my favorites where Jon doesn't join the Night Watch. I always wonder what it would be like if Robb had his "brother" with him. So if you're looking for something more in-depth, multi-layered, and complex...go check out this fic. Three bastards by @obsessivewriter Angela always seems to give us readers a soothing balm when we have to think about what season 8 handed out. This fic continued where the show left off but we get more Jon & Gendry time, mixed with Arya's little secret.

[icontainmultitides]

I hardly see any Gendrya content on here anymore and half of my mutuals’ posts don’t show up in my feed despite having notifications on, and the other half have changed their name and post about fandoms I don’t even recognise

😬😩😭

I miss the halcyon days of summer 2019 when we all lost our collective minds about the forge sex...

🥰😭😏

Anyway this post sounds whiny but I’m just feeling nostalgic. I know people move on and love other things and that’s ok! I hope you’re all doing ok if these mad times. Let me know if we haven’t chatted in a while...

💗💗💗

A Brother’s Vow (Part One)

(Gif not mine)

Fandom: Game of Thrones

Ship: Jaime Lannister x Female!Reader (Past Tyrion Lannister x Female!Reader)

Background ships: SanSan (let’s be honest, all of my Game of Thrones fics have SanSan somewhere in it, sue me) and Gendrya.

Tags: a brothers vow got

Summary: The war is over, but at what cost? Jaime is trying to find a place in this new world without falling apart and in order to right some wrongs, he tries to take care of you. But is it for selfish or selfless reasons?

Author’s Note: The Reader is the eldest daughter of the Stark siblings who was trapped alongside Sansa in King’s Landing before forced to escape after Joffrey’s murder. Unable to escape with Sansa, she was tossed in a cell with Tyrion but later goes to Meereen with him after Jaime and Varys snuck them away before their execution. This will most likely not be mentioned in the story but I figured I should touch a bit of that information before you dive into the fic. I’m trying to avoid plot holes and past tense so forgive me in advance if you ever get lost or confused. Also, this does not follow the plot of Season 8. You’re welcome!

Warnings: (Does it really need warnings? It’s Game of Thrones) Major Character Death, gruesome, depression, self-hate, cursing (I will add on more the further down I write)

Word Count: 2,000+

(I do not consent my works to be reposted/copied)

~~~~~~~~~

She heard the bells of the city ring out and she knew they had won. She let her shoulders rest while breathing out a sigh of relief. From on top of her horse, Y/n looked on either side of her and exchanged looks of joy and solace with Varys, Sansa, Clegane, and Missandei from their horsebacks as well. The five of them had hung back outside the gates of King’s Landing while Daenerys and Jon’s armies took control of the city. Sandor would have been among this siege hadn’t he volunteered to stay and guard the others who could not fight. But Y/n knew better. She knew by the way he would occasionally glance over at her fire-kissed sister. The last time she caught him staring at Sansa, she managed to make eye contact with the Hound and flashed a smug smile at him. He glared right back and looked away.

With the bells now ringing, Y/n and the others gently kick the sides of their horses and inch towards the opened gates with Sandor taking the lead to make sure it was safe. There shouldn’t be any wandering Lannister soldiers running about in their path towards the Red Keep, but it was better to be cautious than anything. 

It appeared as though their plan had worked beautifully. While their armies had noisily made their approach to the city, no one had ever noticed Jaime, Tyrion, and Arya sneaking into the Red Keep along with a crowd of city folk trying to find shelter under their blessed queen’s protection. While the three of them tear out Cersei’s roots from the inside, Jon, Daenerys, and their allies would bring the fight to them on the outskirts of King’s Landing. Making sure that the attention was always on their soldiers and their dragons, the heroes had left an opening for Arya and the Lannister brothers to reach the Queen. They must have succeeded in apprehending her else the bells would not be ringing.

They trot through the stone-paved streets, looking around at the bodies of soldiers and made note of any civilians lurking about. Some soldiers they noticed to be theirs but the majority of the bodies appeared to be all fitting Lannister armor, and not a single body of a woman or child, thankfully. No harm had come to the innocents this time, unlike the poor women and children who were killed in the crypts of Winterfell during the Long Night. 

When they finally make it to the Red Keep, Ser Davos is standing there, waiting for them. His armor is bloodied and he looked exhausted but appeared unharmed otherwise. His sword was missing and so his hands were kept busy by being folded behind his back as he stared up at his allies approaching on horseback, unable to control his smile, withered as it may be, “Took you all long enough. Did ya hear the bells?”

“You’re one to talk,” Clegane grumbles, “What took you so long to ring the bloody bells in the first place?”

“I’m not sure. I reckon capturing Cersei had something to do with it. Maybe it was a bit more difficult than we thought.”

“My fucking brother is the one guarding her. Of course, it was going to be difficult.”

“Well, then. Why didn’t YOU go with the others to ambush her?”

“Because he wouldn’t have been able to sneak through the Red Keep unnoticed,” Y/n sighs as though she was growing tired of explaining this. It did take some persuading to convince Sandor not to take his revenge on his brother after all, “With his height and his face, it wouldn’t take long for someone to recognize him and the element of surprise would no longer be on our side.”

“Honestly, Ser Davos,” Varys smirked, amused, “And Lord Tyrion calls you the greatest smuggler alive.”

“I’m retired. Give me a morsel.”

“Where is our Queen?” Missandei changes the subject, worried for her friend and Grey Worm since neither was anywhere to be found.

“A group of them stormed the castle once the bells were rung. No doubt going to help the others take Cersei into custody.”

Y/n dismounts her horse and walks past Davos to make it inside the keep, the others doing the same and following slowly behind her. Sansa lingered in the back and placed a gloved hand on Davos’ shoulder, “Get some rest, Ser Davos. You’ve earned it.”

They leave the Onion Knight outside and walk into the castle, ignoring the throne room, and instead, they head up the stairs towards the Queen’s chambers where they knew Cersei would have been hiding in during the battle. It was a long and steep walk, their legs already aching from the horseback riding and now their knees protest as they push on up the staircase.

It was Sansa who heard it first; the faint whimpers and cries of anguish coming from further up the staircase, “Do any of you hear that?”

“Hear what?” Her sister asked.

Sansa didn’t even bother to answer Y/n and instead marched past her to race up the stairs, hiking her skirt up to cover more ground.

“Sansa-!”

“It’s not safe, little bird,” Sandor called after her and so he and Y/n follow far behind Sansa.

By the time they also heard the crying, Sansa’s scream of horror had followed suit and Clegane had drawn his sword before Y/n could even blink. She stays right at his heels with the others trying to catch up behind her. The Hound and the Stark woman get to the top of the stairs and run through the courtyard of Holdfast to find a shocking sight.

Sansa was unharmed but uncontrollably sobbing as Jon and Arya, also unharmed, hold her close for comfort. For someone who had spent his entire life searching for revenge, Sandor barely blinks in the direction of the Mountain’s body scattered into pieces all over the floor with the map of Westeros painted on it. He instead, hovers over the Stark siblings consoling one another with the exception of Y/n.

Her eyes were set on a different scene.

She noticed the back of Daenerys’ braided silver hair first, slightly in a disarray from the battle as the Targaryen queen knelt on the floor of stone, hovering over something she and a mortified Jaime were tending to. Y/n noticed that it was the pair of them behind the source of the crying.

When Jon looked up to notice his older siste- cousin step towards Dany and Jaime, he breaks away from Sansa and Arya to stop her, “Wait, Y/n. It’s not a sight you want to see-”

With a warning like that, Y/n could feel her blood instantly freeze as she makes the final steps over to the Kingslayer and the Mother of Dragons.

The thing lying in between Daenerys and Jaime was the body of Tyrion… or what was left of it.

Y/n lost her will to breathe or control her blurring vision of tears within a span of two seconds when her eyes first caught sight of the body. She all but collapsed to her knees just above the youngest Lannister’s head, losing control of her hands as they lift his head and place it on her lap on their own accord. She had managed to pull one of the hands away to inspect her now bloodied palm that once lay on the back of Tyrion’s skull. When she looked back down, she noticed his eyes were still open and looking out to the sky, distant and far away from her and this world.

Daenerys had placed a shaking hand on Y/n’s shoulder but she did not feel it. Sansa’s and Jaime’s cries echoed in her ears but she did not hear them. Her heart was breaking…

But she could barely feel it.

She had lost all sense of time after that. When she wakes up in an unfamiliar bed-chamber, they told her she had screamed until the blood rushed to her head and she passed out. That was two days ago.

Y/n barely even blinked as Jon regrettably tells her everything. From what he was told from Arya, the young Stark girl along with Jaime and Tyrion had managed to make it into Holdfast using old passageways and secret tunnels the Lannister brothers knew of, but they didn’t make it very far. Once entering the courtyard with the battle map painted on the floor, Cersei was seated at the table waiting for them there… with the Mountain ready to attack.

Neither Jaime nor Arya were quick enough to draw their swords before Gregor Clegane swung his newly appointed Warhammer and bashed Tyrion over the head with it, sending the dwarf flying across the floor. With a loud crack, it was over in a matter of seconds. When Samwell Tarly later inspected the body, he clarified that the death was quick. Tyrion did not feel any pain. When Jon relayed this to Y/n, she didn’t react, and so he continued to catch her up on the following events with an even heavier heart.

Driven by grief and maddened by the obnoxious laughter coming from Cersei, Jaime had charged the Mountain by himself and nearly lost his head for it, both literally and figuratively. Arya had managed to shove him out of the way and after that, the two focused on working together to bring the Mountain down. They must have stabbed him several times before realizing that the only way to bring down an undead Gregor was to chop him up to pieces, leaving the head for last.

Once Arya finished Clegane off, Jaime marched over to Cersei and blindly choked the life out of her. She was still laughing even to her dying breath.

And that’s how Jon and Daenerys had found them after the bells of surrender rung. Dany had joined Jaime in mourning over Tyrion’s body, her wails of anguish filling up the room alongside the Kingslayer’s. It wasn’t long after that did Sansa find the horrific scene, screaming and alerting those who had following her into the castle. After Y/n had fainted from screaming, Grey Worm and the rest of the Unsullied moved back out the castle to clean up the mess of the battlefield as his way of giving everyone else their privacy after such a heavy loss. Varys promised to stay with Tyrion’s body if Daenerys and Jaime went to rest and grieve among themselves. And in a way, it was for the Spider to grieve the loss of his friend alone as well. Jon had Arya and Sandor take a distraught Sansa away from the scene while he carried Y/n out. For the next couple of days, while Y/n and the others rested, the Unsullied took control of the city and for once, King’s Landing was dead silent.

Jon didn’t appear as though he had rested. None of them did once Y/n was allowed to leave her room to see them. He stayed with her the whole time, however, almost as if he was afraid of what would happen if he did. Y/n couldn’t blame him for thinking that way. She had thought of it, too.

Daenerys and Sansa busied themselves with their duties in order to keep themselves from thinking about their loss for too long. Dany had dark rings under her eyes while her silver hair remained unruly. The Dragon Queen would tend to her children or plan the reconstruction of the city from her place on the Iron Throne, refusing to do much else as she desperately tried helping any of the women and children who needed shelter until their homes were rebuilt. It was her own way of honoring her Hand’s life. 

Sansa appeared to be keeping her appearance in check compared to Daenerys. Keeping herself busy meant brushing her hair for twice as long and sending out letters to all the houses and clans who aided them in the battle, either to thank them or inform them of a loved ones’ death. It’s not like she would be able to sleep under the Red Keep’s ceiling again anyway. There were too many painful memories here, what’s to add one more?

Jaime wouldn’t see anyone. He had locked himself away in Tyrion’s old room, refusing to take food or water.

Last Y/n heard, Arya took Gendry Baratheon and a handful of men back up to the direction of Winterfell to meet halfway with anyone from the North heading down the Kingsroad. They were doing this to exchange supplies, as both Winterfell and King’s Landing were in dire need of them, and winter was just getting started.

But Y/n barely noticed the cold. For the remaining days following up to Tyrion’s funeral, she had not breathed a word to anyone. She helped her sister send ravens out to all of the remaining houses of Westeros and helped write a peace treaty between the North and the South. Tyrion’s death took a heavier toll on Daenerys than the others originally thought because she barely protested against Sansa asking her to make the North an independent kingdom. They compromised and signed a treaty that proclaimed the North as such, but in return, Daenerys had asked for Sansa to always answer the call should the South ever need aid. Both women agreed to these terms, and Y/n’s heart squeezed ever so painful knowing that Tyrion was not alive to see the North and South finally get along. 

Jon and Daenerys put their romantic and family relations in the past and tried to forget it ever happened. Daenerys is crowned Queen -even though there was no ceremony. She had forbidden it- and she officially announces her nephew, Aegon Targaryen as her Hand. He doesn’t want it, knowing that the Hand’s position is what got his fathe- Ned Stark killed. Along with any other Lord Hand that came before him, given the most recent events. But at the same time, as Varys pointed out, maybe he was the best for the job because he didn’t want it. 

Y/n didn’t attend to this announcement. She wouldn’t be able to bear watching Dany pin the Hand’s sigil onto her brothe- cousin’s vest.

After Jon’s little ceremony, the crowd moves outside to the funeral pyre. Daenerys wanted to hurry up and burn the body, not willing to wait for everyone from far and wide to come to attend the funeral. She wanted to just get this over with, for her own sake and others.

Jon didn’t disagree with his Queen. He barely flinches when Sam starts talking to the crowd, addressing Daenerys and Aegon Targaryen at the beginning of his speech. In the public’s eye, Jon will be forever known as Aegon Targaryen but remains to be Jon Snow to those closest to him. He just wishes Tyrion was still one of those people. He’d give anything to hear the dwarf call him the Bastard of Winterfell again.

As Sam continued the eulogy, Jon glances over at the two people standing opposite of him and Dany, on the other side of the funeral pyre, behind Sam.

His cousin Y/n was wearing all black and still remains to look unresponsive. Jaime stood beside her having finally shown his face since the death of his brother. He looked older than he was, and his beard and the bags under his eyes were darker than before.

Sam closes off his words by asking for Tyrion’s brother and consort to step forward and place the torch onto the pyre. Jaime and Y/n hesitantly do what they’re told, holding the ignited torch between them as if to help each other support its weight. Daenerys had earlier offered to have Drogon be their source of fire for the funeral, but it didn’t feel right. 

They lower the torch onto the piled up wood and stepped away. They waited until the pyre ignites and slowly, they watched the body wrapped up in Lannister cloths be engulfed and set aflame. 

Y/n resists holding her flat stomach by reaching out and holding Jaime’s only hand, silently threatening to never let go.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

All of them are for Gendry x Arya from A Song of Ice and Fire

1. I’ll spend this summer by your side - childhood friends to lovers, arranged marriage, canon divergence

 2. your lips, my lips, apocalypse - modern au, smut

3. on and on it spins - modern au, outsider’s POV

4. it was a pretty good bad idea, wasn’t it though? - friends to lovers, smut, modern au

5. our love full of storms - domestic, hurt/comfort, kid fic, modern au

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I do - I love interacting with readers in the comments section and it gives me a chance to re-read said comments (which instantly makes my day. every time and without fail)

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

For ASOIAF: somewhere between sorrow and bliss probably. It’s also easily the most controversial thing, fandom-wise, I’ve ever written hahah. for now i am winter and be still, my tongue are pretty damn angsty too

For FMA:B : soon you'll get better cause this fic is high-key me processing my mom’s death and i’ll never get used to it

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

No

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yup, most notably on here's to the mess we make - oh, good old days of bellarke vs clexa fandom war. Miss it now

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yup, both explicit and kinda vague. I think I wrote vanilla a few times too, but I definitely most enjoy writing kinky sex with BDSM elements

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

If I had, I am unaware

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Same as above

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

As you can clearly see in the list of the fandoms I write for, it changes quite often. I would say my all time fav OTPs are probably gendrya, royai, stydia, bellarke, victuuri and kanej, but tbh this list is never-ending and never-closing

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I’ve got a few gendrya stories started but I don’t think I’ll come back to writing for this ship 

15. What are your writing strengths?

Tbh, I have no idea. I was praised for my descriptions a lot and I guess I am generally happy with the flow of my fics. 

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plots, PLOTS! I cannot construct plots for shit. Also, English is not my native language so I obviously make lots of mistakes which I cannot always detect myself. 

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If it’s done well, it’s a fantastic technique (Murder Ballad comes to my mind especially). But it is not very often done well and it can be very distracting and irritating for the reader. 

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Probably Harry Potter, but it was over 15 years ago so who the hell knows. 

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

it's still you (the 100) - I have a deep, deep fondness for this fic, even for how unpolished it is

our love full of storms (ASOIAF) - probably the best thing I’ve ever written, tbh

somewhere between sorrow and bliss (ASOIAF)  - the one fic where i went with my guts instead of choosing the ending my readers wanted me to choose

i’m tagging @yanak324, @duskandstarlight and @whatanybodygets cause i am VERY curious of their answers

[hyacinths-bridgerton]

seriously considering spending the rest of the year reading only gendrya fics because i just miss interacting with the fandom so much

[peaks around corner] Oh hi everyone! I’m still here and alive, just haven’t been writing. I felt pretty burned out when Think Upon Revenge ended and also felt very burned out by fandom in general. So I needed a break. I’ve been playing with some ideas in my head and I’m thinking I’ll be getting back to writing in May. But let’s talk about my Fic Back Friday recommendation.

I was never able to get into Game of Thrones despite 95% of it being way up my alley. I can’t handle sexual violence of pretty much any kind and Dany’s wedding triggered me to the point that I nearly threw up and everyone told the show didn’t get better from there so I just peaced out. However, when season 7 was airing, I was regularly at a friends house to watch another show. So I would read recaps and then watch it with a bunch of people that were invested. When season 8 came out, I watched it as it was being released because it was a pop culture thing I wanted to at least be part of a little. 

I sort of fell into the fandom by accident and come July 2019, I started Revenge is a Wild Justice. I didn’t have a plan, I didn’t have an outline, all I had was a handful of scenes I wanted to get to eventually, the Wikipedia, and eventually people like @psychvamp25 and the Gendrya discord to help me through any plot points I might have missed. From there, the fic went completely out of control and is now the longest fic I’ve ever written and has the best stats on AO3 from any of my fics. At the time, the Game of Thrones fandom wasn’t being a bunch of jerks and my experience was extremely positive. That would not remain the case. Anyway, I’m still really proud of how this fic came together and the work I put into it. 

Revenge is a Wild Justice -  Words: 195,761 - Chapters: 50/50 - Rated: M - Arya Stark/Gendry Waters, Meera Reed/Bran Stark, Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen, Theon Greyjoy/Sansa Stark

An alternate universe where Arya overheard Beric and Thoros talking to Melisandre about selling Gendry and they have enough time to get away. They eventually decide to help and protect the smallfolk during the war as a team. However, their deeds do not go unnoticed by their enemies and, eventually, Arya and Gendry find themselves pulled back into the game of thrones and the fight for the future of Westeros.

I was looking through things on AO3 and realized that the first anniversary of the posting day of The Lost Prince is coming up. In honor of this, I was considering a one shot set in that universe.

As this was the story that really got me into the Gendrya fandom, I am opening it up for requests. Can be a scene you felt was missing from the main story. A scene set up after the epilogue. Or even a scene from between the last chapter and the epilogue.

If anyone is interested and wants to give a request, reblog and add it or drop into my ask box, anon or not is welcome. If there are multiple requests, I might be willing to do more than more one.

I hope to hear from some of your suggestions. Posting date would be September 7th 😁
