Note

legit my favorite of our probably many crossovers is with jaidyn being in muddy waters. she suits it so well and just the trio that is jaidyn, lucea, and serion is *chef’s kiss*

also a headcanon i thought of, i’m curious of what you think, is that after really just vibing and being kinda chaotic with serion and lucea and also dealing with the things of during the show, jaidyn joins lucea’s crew or at least has her own ship if she’s not able to join lucea or serion’s crew and spends her life as a pirate. when she’s not on a ship, she definitely vibes on driftmark because basically everywhere else just sucks

okay so first we start with the backstory because it is... i have more backstory than actual plot at the moment skskks.

just the absolute beauty of them all meeting at Cora and Loren's wedding (the Greyjoys were absolutely not invited, but Serion saw an opportunity to rob some rich people and jumped at it), but Lucea (as the bride's sister) and Jaidyn (as Loren's cousin) are very much invited.

when i say they are smol i mean like... 15ish.

anyway Lucea is a pirate first and foremost, she likes parties sure, but watching her sister be miserable over her marriage all night is just not what she wants to do.

however, the night starts to look up a little when she bumps into one of the younger Lannisters, Jaidyn, who truly looks so uncomfortable in her ballgown that even Lucea feels bad for her.

things are tense, though

and then they straight up just ditch it, Lucea suggests going to the harbour since that's where her fathers ships are and uh, she just really misses the water, Kings Landing makes her uneasy.

lo and behold, when they get there, there's this scruffy looking teenage boy who is absolutely trying to get onto the ship, and Lucea, more for the hell of it than to be useful decides to help him.

anyway this is very vague but her and Jaidyn essentially just spend the rest of the night chilling on the deck of this ship, Lucea got Jaidyn a change of clothes too.

Serion tells them his name but nothing more than that--he still might want to rob them some day, better to keep themselves on a first name basis, right? wrong.

the night ends, Lucea returns home to driftmark the following day, albeit their boat has picked up a stowaway of sorts, Jaidyn returns to Casterly Rock.

physically, I don't think Lucea sees Jaidyn much over the course of Aerys' decline into madness and the fall of the Targaryens, but she certainly sees Serion. both of them sent Jaidyn a shit ton of letters though, they loved to keep in contact.

anyway not enough Jaidyn content here, lets skip ahead to the show.

Lucea's brother Monford rules Driftmark in all the ways he thinks are important, she's running a full smuggling ring right under his nose because she refuses to see her as anything other than his little sister. Jaidyn, who at some point though neither of them could really tell you exactly when, had fallen into the role of both lover and best friend for Lucea.

and pirate Jaidyn is naturally a huge part of Lucea' lil smuggling ring. Lucea probably would have given her her own ship if it didn't come off a little suspicious, so naturally the closest thing she could do was put her on the same ship as Aurane Waters--Lucea's bastard half brother.

uh, Aurane and Jaidyn do not click, they clash a lot actually, but it doesn't matter because what can he really do to a Lannister? like, really?

why am i blanking so hard on plot points right now?? whatever it doesn't matter. Lucea and Jaidyn? just have the best vibes, even if Lucea has taken a much darker approach to life than Jaidyn has.

whatever the plot isn't important until the battle of the blackwater, at which point Jaidyn cannot legally be connected with the Velaryon's because they support Stannis. that does absolutely nothing to stop her from visiting Driftmark though. she's partially disowned at this point anyway.

uh I guess the next plot point ah look at that all the Velaryon men died during the Battle of the Blackwater so guess who's in charge of Driftmark now? that's right, lucea.

god this is actually very much terribly planned out imma just skip to the stuff i actually have planned.

point is, through all of this Lucea and Jaidyn are still as tight as ever, and honestly it probably worked out very well for both of them that they were never an official couple because Jaidyn found Pod, and Lucea is very much an embodiment of the line I can't get married for I'm married to the sea.

anyway in case you were wondering, Serion didn't die, he just uh, let's say he left. He left Westeros altogether in 289 AC for fear of taking part in Balon's Rebellion, and was for all intents and purposes disowned by his family because of this.

he's been having a good time, he got a boyfriend who is spiraling dangerously close to what some would consider a war criminal mindset, and he more or less adopted a kid. (for clarification I mean Jon Connington and Young Griff)

he does however make the return to Driftmark after so many years (even after leaving without so much as a letter to either Jaidyn or Lucea, which neither of them took well) for the sake of Young Griff and the fleet he will inevitably need.

this is around season seven, for context I guess.

also for context that I somehow missed, uh, there were some vibes between him and Jaidyn too.

anyway for the reasons of this ask Jaidyn is at Driftmark when he arrives and her and Lucea are just... absolutely floored to see him there because uh, what the fuck?

it's very much a bittersweet reunion, they've each moved on from the love they had in the past, but they still love each other. it hurts me on every level possible.

a n y w a y. at the end of the whole damn series Lucea basically turns Driftmark into what I guess most of Westeros would consider an incredibly scandalous place, think like, Lys, but really she just... does not care who people love. It has Nassau / Tortuga vibes, basically. Just follow her rules--which are few and far between--and she won't bother you.

anyway Jaidyn and Pod would thrive there, Serion would too if Jon wasn't so deadset on resuming his place as the Lord of Griffin's Roost.

this is very vague I'm realizing but uh, Getaway Car by Taylor Swift sums up the vibes of the development of this whole relationship. They personally have the exact same vibes as the Road to El Dorado trio. as demonstrated in this gif.
