New Firesteel Sidestory!

I am a bat amidst dragons, if I don’t breath fire I will act like I do. Because this was no one will walk over me.

You can read it here!

I hope this gets me unstuck from my Luke’ chapter, and besides it sets the tone for the Celia spin off nicely so why not?

[firesteel-eden]

The memory of her voice, the ghost of her touch in his hair and the warmth of her bare flesh against his face seemed so real that if Aemond closed his eye could smell her there with him.

Royce sidestory is up!

But if Rhea had been like an eagle soaring over the skies, mistress of the winds and of the hunt, Catryn was a Vale pit viper, silent and slow. — We remember

[firesteel-eden]

Working on the Royce sidestory!

“Some say that Runestone is the ancient heart of the Vale,” Catryn commented, “and if that is true, then that little girl is the heart of the Vale, because she’s her father’s heart”

New Firesteel side story is up!

This author cannot verify one claim over the other, one thing is sure. Whoever lady Whent is, a bat waiting in the shadow, a wolf stalking the woods, or a witch or fraud laying her charm on everyone, we can say for sure she’s a mystery the Realm is waiting with bated-breath to learn the truth about. — from The Lady Bat; real lady or fraud?

New side-story to Firesteel is up!

A wolf of silk spins tales of ages, heart of glass, skin of steel shield the Realm, nine bloody spikes on its head. — from the new sidestory, The days of the lonely dragon (Alt. Title — the brooding era of the One-Eye)

What will we see in this sidestory?

what happened in those weeks that Sansa/Ned was away in the Riverlands after they fought?

What has happened to Aemond in that time that led to the encounter by the hill?

Brooding era.

More Helaena-dreamer experience.

More foreshadowing.

More inner court and society work shown underhanded.

(And also for that lovely anon who adores the Daemon/Sansa dynamic… a small treat/threat of that too.. for how Daemon-ish that might be).

Yep, basically Aemond in his brooding era as he missed his lady love (Daeron’s words not mine)

[firesteel-eden]

Would you look at that? A new sidestory

She had given up on him long before he had proved he deserved to be given up upon, and all in the name of some strangers' faces Aemond could never compete with — from The days of the lonely dragon II

Kissed by fire - Kissed by Steel ask - in the Vhagar one-shot, Vhagar refers to Sansa as 'the thief'. But that's obviously a new thing that dates only to the failed warging experience. Do you know what Vhagar called Sansa before that?

Ciao @phoenixwithahoardoflibraries!

Vhagar considers Sansa as a thief after the failed warging attempt, as she considers that Sansa has tried to take away — thus steal — her agency and freedom, which to her is a terrible reminder of the time in which the dragons were trained with horns and whips before Valyrian and dragons started to work together for real.

What did she call her before? I think she considered her Aemond, thus rider’s mate — as she herself considers that despite not having them actually mated, Aemond holds her in that regard — I think in any way she would consider her neutrally and curiously as Aemond has not brought to her any one else.

In fact at one point Vhagar considers she’s still the rider’s mate though that doesn’t make her less of a thief, though an useful one… even if in the ending of the chapter and for the rest of the story Sansa will be for Vhagar her slave because Sansa tried to smooth things over by showing Vhagar she was the dominant one.

So, yes, before the failed attempt Vhagar might have simply considered her “rider’s mate” — a mate who stank of some kind of strange magic (the warging in her blood) — but that indeed.

New sidestory is up!

It went beyond the passion and heat of a beautiful woman in one’s arms, it was like something pure and unholy altogether (…) — from The Days of the Lonely Dragon III — the Wolf of the North

A double POV sidestory in which she take a dip in both Aemond and Cregan’s POV.

I had so much fun writing Cregan and his interactions with Aemond because I felt like I had not yet given his character depth and now we’re starting to scratch the surface of his character!

Let me know what you think of it!

THEY KISSED.THEY KISSED😚😚😚

This is better than all the smuts I have ever read—THE MUTUAL PINING.THE TENSION.THE EARNING.

The ONE EYED PRINCE AND THE LADY BAT—BEWARE OF THE POWER COUPLE dear DAEMON AND NYRA.

LET'S GO!

Ciao @tremendouswolfsaladranch

I’m glad you enjoyed!

But… are you really ready for what’s to come?? 😘 and better yet… are Daemon and Rhaenyra?

Also, posted the first sidestory!

It has become common practice for the lady Whent to be approached by those who wish their pleas to the queen or princess — some times even the prince — to be heard and judged favorably. — from the first sidestory of KBF~KBS, that you can read here: A day in the life of lady Ned Whent at the court of the Targaryens

As always thank you for dropping by! And sending all my love ~G.

PS They have no idea what they’re fighting against 😂😂😂 and they’ll have no idea what has hit them when Sansa comes for her new dragon-scaled handbag.

[firesteel-eden]

AND AT MY SIGNAL… UNLEASH HELL!!!!

[disclaimer: know this… I’m taking you all down with me]

Yeah… you guessed it, I posted the Daemon sidestory (Bloody Wyrm).

It’s short because I didn’t want it to be too spoilerish but I still think it’s neat! Hope you my Firesteel siblings enjoy it — especially you, lovely anon, who seem to enjoy so much Daemon/Sansa — and possibly it could unleash hell (I’m keeping my fingers crossed it doesn’t, but well…I am a realistic woman). So you better enjoy the hell outta it my friends 😉

As always sending all my love ~G.

Mysaria’ sidestory is up!

Green or Black… White when hit by the right light could become either and none. It was only a matter of perspective. A worm may be slow, oh but how striking would his metamorphosis be, and who knew which colors its wings could turn out to be. — from Mysaria’ sidestory, The Lady Misery.

It’s short, but I think it gives you a good blink in Mysaria’ mind, especially because I didn’t want to have it to spoilerish, I want to settle the various women of the Black well, before dropping in the main stories the Daemon’ POV, but do you think Mysaria should become a POV character of the next installment of the main story or should she remain unbound to it and the star of her own sidestories? (I’m more inclined toward this possibility at least for a good portion of next installment of the main story).

As always sending all my love ~G.

Daemon.Dear Daemon.You have a dragon and you're still man annddd if you touch Sansa, expect her to unleash the hounds.(I like when this man suffers, and the fact you don't romanticize him, but you write him as he is , a bastard, an intriguing character that he's own worst enemy, will make enjoy his downfall)Aemond betraying his family??!!(i don't see it🥲 that's why I avoid some Aemond fictions, preferring where he's paired up with an OC instead of niece reader!)Daemon is too much in his own little world😑.

This is me when D does everything....

Ciao, @tremendouswolfsaladranch I love seeing how much you despise Daemon. He is an interesting character, because he is a great warrior and an observer, but he also lacks the cleverness to see beyond his own narcissistic view of the world and himself, thus his downfall will come unexpected to him but not to the attentive reader.

Also yes, Aemond betraying his family for a woman is pure sci-fi to me too, as it's clear how much he loves his entire family, older brother included, but I can see why Daemon would think of him that way, with the way he considers Alicent and the way he considers all of his nephews by her.

Too bad for Daemon that he doesn't know that wolves bite hard and that wolves can stalk where dragons cannot come. Poor lad, not really.

As always sending all my love ~G.

[reginarubie]

The first side story is ready!

You’ll just have to wait for next two chapters (one of which a double POV chapter) to be updated to see it come alive!

Though here, have a snippet!

You dearly appreciated readers and this author can only assume what that something might have been, can’t we? (…) She’s hunting ground of the prince, the well informed affirm, but I ask myself and you should ask yourself as well, is she his hunting ground or he hers? — sidestory I of KBF~KBS.

As always for the sidestories I am taking requests to add to the several I already have in mind! A cute little trick to make everyone involved in the story and create a more intervowen and plausible reality for the story!

Hope you enjoyed the snippet! Hag’s out!

[reginarubie]

After reading and seeing the mind of Vhagar from “ Mightiest of All Dragons”, I would honestly be both fascinated and dreading to see a Dragon POV of something like the wilddragon Cannibal. Creepy as well.

Ciao nonny!,

sorry for the long delay in replying, but yes, I agree, I find the dragons POV both fascinating and creepy. We know they are highly intelligent if in a different way than the human so to showcase that the writing itself becomes intriguing and creepy too.

Cannibal would be very interesting to write, though I think Vhagar with being the largest and oldest dragon of the world was a good starting point and I will probably do more side stories from her POV.

Thank you for dropping by, as always sending all my love ~G.
