arya & lyanna ( @empathiie )

arya studied the other for a moment, head tilting to the side. "it seems that this place is good at bringing people back from the dead," she wasn't too familiar with lyanna mormont, but knew them from passing and knew they were like them - a fighter. but arya had never really held a proper conversation with lyanna.

Helloo! Can I request older targaryen male reader (maybe rhaegar's younger uncle) x ned stark? With prompts: stay with me. i can keep you safe. And they're all afraid of me. / if they know you're with me, they'll leave you alone.

Okie that's all! Hope it's not too much! Glad to see another asoiaf blog writing for m reader:D

Summary - After his injury on the trident, Robert leaves command of his forces to Ned. Struggling with the meaning of this war, Ned is met by an old friend, Prince Y/N Targaryen.

Warnings - general GOT warnings, BIG age gap (Ned is 19/20 while Y/N is 32/33), mentions of canon character death.

Ned longed for Winterfell. He had tired of the south, and he had tired of the war. 

Rhaegar was dead, slain by Robert on the Trident. His rubies littered the bank of the trident, a place that Ned had heard the men around him start to refer to as the ruby ford. Ned had felt no satisfaction in Rhaegar’s death, Lyanna was still missing, and his brother and father were still dead. 

And so Ned continued on. 

Robert had given him command of the forces after the trident, unable to continue on with his injuries. So here sat Ned, a day's ride out from Kingslanding ready to claim the throne for his closest friend, and avenge his father and brother’s murders. 

Ned looked up at the sound of the flap of his tent being disturbed, he expected to see one of the Lord’s of his army, but he saw a man he did not recognize instead. He reached for the sword at his side, taking a defensive stance against the hooded figure. 

“Who’s there?” Ned called out to the man, “You should not be here.” 

The man held his hands up in surrender, slowly taking his hood off as Ned’s grip on his sword tightened further. The man’s hood fell away and despite the poorly chopped and dyed hair, Ned recognized the mysterious figure for who he was. 

Y/N Targaryen, younger brother to King Aerys II. 

“What are you doing here?” Ned hissed, releasing his sword yet keeping his posture tense, as if bracing for attack. 

“I needed to see you.” Y/N walked deeper into the tent. 

Ned laughed in disbelief, “Everyone in this camp wants you and your family dead-” 

“Everyone?” 

Ned paused facing the man. Y/N’s violet eyes searched Ned’s face, and Ned faltered under their weight. He frowned, “That’s not fair. You chose your side, Y/N.” 

“I chose my family, Ned.” 

“So did I.” 

Y/N nodded, and Ned felt sick at the sight of the man. He looked defeated, dark bags under his violet eyes and his cheeks were sunken like he hadn’t eaten. His hair was chopped messily, as if with haste and a dagger, and dyed dark to hide his appearance. He looked so different from the confident prince Ned had grown to know, and love, during his time in the Eyrie. 

Y/N turned away from Ned, “You’re right, I-” 

Ned watched as the man took a deep breath, and Ned had to remind himself that they’d both lost their families in this war. Y/N’s nephew had been killed not but a week ago, and his siblings were not likely to survive the end of this war. 

“Do you not grow tired of fighting, Ned?” Y/N asked. “Taking Kingslanding won’t bring Rickard and Brandon back. As Rhaegar’s did not bring back Lyanna.” 

“What would you have me do?” 

Y/N sighed, “I- I do not know. I just wanted to see you before I left.” 

“Left?” 

The man nodded, “I’m tired of this war, Rhaegar is dead, and my brother is past saving. We are not going to win this war, and I do not intend to stay and discover the fate Robert has waiting for me. I just came to say goodbye.” 

Y/N turned to walk out of the tent, but Ned leaped forward grabbing the man’s arm. Y/N seemed surprised at Ned’s action, and Ned surprised him further by taking his hand. “I do not wish for you to leave.” 

Ned swallowed, looking down at the ground, before squaring his shoulder’s back and looking the prince in his eyes. “Stay with me. I can keep you safe.” 

Y/N smiled, yet Ned felt oddly mocked by the action. “You may be leading this war, but you are just a boy, Ned. You cannot protect me. They’re all afraid of me, as long as I live this war rages on and Robert’s reign is threatened.” 

“I am man enough for you to take to bed, but not to protect you?” Ned accused, releasing the man’s hand. 

“That has nothing to do with this, Ned.” Y/N said, face falling. “And I do not need to remind you who invited who into their bed.” 

“I did not take you for a deserter, Y/N.” Ned scoffed, turning away so the prince could not see the flush that covered his cheeks at his words. 

Y/N’s face hardened at Ned’s words. “I am not deserting.” 

Ned turned to him again, “Prove it then. Stay, if they know you’re with me they’ll leave you alone.” 

“You don’t get it do you, Ned?” Y/N shook his head, “I am a Targaryen, my very existence continues this war. It doesn’t matter if you vouch for me, if I stay here my head will end up on a pike!” 

Ned opened his mouth to speak, but no words were coming out. He knew in his heart that Y/N was right, Robert would not rest until every Targaryen was dead and buried. He sighed, closing in on himself in defeat. 

Y/N gently touched his cheek, and Ned raised his eyes to meet the prince’s. “I am sorry, Ned.” 

He placed a piece of paper into the Lord of Winterfell’s hands, closing Ned’s fist around it. “Your sister is alive, although I doubt you will be happy with what you find.” 

“What-” Ned opened the parchment, reading its contents. He raised his head to look at the prince in confusion but by the time he did Y/N was gone. 

And Ned would never see him again.

Satin Flowers Theories That Spark Joy:

1. He is a highborn!!!!

DEFINITELY POSSIBLE!!!!!! Satin having skills that mainly a highborn would have {reading, writing, etc}, him being bad at keeping fires in Jon's fireplace going {which is something a servant would do, and not a highborn}, etc.

2. He is the real Prince Aegon Targaryen {son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Princess Elia Martell *who was "killed" when Tywin Lannister and his army sacked King's Landing*} and not Young Griff!!!!

A little out there, I know, but it's a fun theory!!!!!!!! If Satin is Rhaegar and Elia's Aegon, and Jon is Rhaegar and Lyanna's Aegon {or whatever Jon's real name might be, I really hope it's not Aegon}, then that means Jon Snow has been one - sidedly trying to court his half brother for 3 books {knowing the Valyrian's, that's not a bad thing, but they're both men, and one or both of them might not be into it}.

And if they're both Rhaegar's sons, them and Daenerys {Rhaegar's little sister} completes yet another 3 headed dragon {Dany as Aegon The Conqueror, Satin/Potential Aegon #? as Rhaenys, and Jon/Potential Aegon #? as Visenya. Walk with me. W A L K W I T H M E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! }

More cons: 1. Satin being Rhaegar and Elia's Aegon would mean that another heir to the Iron Throne has thrown his life away to serve at a place that will kill you if you try to quit. And 2. As far as we know, Jon and their friends are the only support he has, and that wouldn't be enough to help him reclaim the throne {that Daenerys is also fighting for}.

3. He is one of Robert Baratheon's bastards!!!

Robert {a Baratheon man with Targaryen blood} was in love with a Stark man {Ned Stark, and not Ned's sister Lyanna *who went to war for, but couldn't even remember what she looked like*} and now Jon {A Stark man with Targaryen blood} in love with another potential Baratheon man with Targaryen blood?!?!?!?! {They'd still be related, but not as close as they'd be if he was Rhaegar and Elia's Aegon!!!!!!!!}

---

Satin Flowers Theories That DO NOT Spark Joy:

1. He is one of Littlefinger's MANY spies!!!!

WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT?!?!?! I mean, if it somehow ties into Littlefinger's whole climb up the Ladder plan, sure. But other than that, he would just wasting his time, money, and a very pretty boy that can make him even richer.

2. HE IS ONE OF JON SNOW'S KILLERS!!!!

No matter Satin's possible station in the world, he literally has NOTHING to gain from killing Jon!!!! Jon comforted him when he was scared, stayed by his side while fighting, elevated his status {which includes living with Jon in his chambers instead of barracks full of men that hate him}, verbally tore apart all who talked shit about him, etc!!!!

The only thing Satin gains from killing one of his very few supporters, would be getting hurt and killed by enemies. Saying that Satin Flowers is one of the men that killed Jon Snow is about as believable as Sansa Stark causing the Doom Of Valyria {which happened centuries before she was born, but knowing Sansa antis, I'm sure they've found a way to blame her for that, too 🙄🙄💀💀}.

---

Or, Satin Flowers could be just as GRRM introduced him as: A former sex worker turned into a man of the Night’s Watch, nothing more, nothing less. But I have a feeling that GRRM has plans for Satin, and I PRAY those don't include hurting or killing him right after the mutiny, or him being a traitor. Either of those would kill Jon....again....💀💀💔💔

There's not one thing that I would change.

Summary:Paring: Aemond Targaryen x Stark!Reader Word Count: 1109 Warnings: First POV, AFAB, lost of virginity, oral (f receiving), fingering, p in v. Author’s Note: This is what was implied, the smutty interlude that granddam could not read out loud to Lyanna. Part of the story Ours never knew peace. but technically could be read as a stand alone if you are wanting smut without the angst. The title for this comes from Hozier's song Francesca. This was not beta read, please feel free to DM me my mistakes 💜 MDNI banner by @cafekitsune

My nerves were frayed already from the expected duty of a wife and I was grateful when Aemond flatly refused the bedding ceremony. But behind our closed doors, despite how I craved his touch, trepidation replaced the blood in my veins and I felt almost shy under his steady gaze, how the black swallowed the color of his eye. 

His hand reached for me, and I allowed him to pull me into his warm embrace. His kiss was gentle and his hands moved to cup my jaw, his mouth trailing my features softly; I could feel his lips press against the soft divot beneath my ear and the warmth of his low voice, “I do not wish to hurt you,” his solemn vow.

It was something I learned of and heard of, about the discomfort maidens could feel on their wedding night, but his words removed my hesitation with the ripple of gooseflesh on my skin as he swore, “I promise to be careful with you.” 

And I looked up at him for a moment; my heart swelled with the love felt, spilling as I pulled him close, my mouth desperate to taste him, to touch him again. My hands still trembled, moving to touch the hardness of his chest beneath his doublet while his roamed my curves, his hands steady still with the intricate lacings of my gown; each layer was peeled away with care until we were both bare.  

Only then did he break away, a pause to allow his eye to look from my face, to my toes, and meet with my gaze again. “Gevie,” he breathed.

Beautiful.

Aemond took me to the bed and I laid back against the fresh linen; his flurry of kisses trailed my skin now shown, the touch of his lips leaving plumes of red in its wake, with a spark that thrummed beneath and began to coil in my core. He moved lower, pressing an intimate kiss between my thighs, and I almost swallowed my tongue in response. 

I could feel his grin against my cunt. “Trust me,” he murmured with his velvet tone, his breath warm against the wetness that now pooled between, “I promised you I would be careful, I must do this to prepare you… just let me know…” 

As his mouth laved against the bundle of nerves above, the euphoria reminiscent of flying on dragonback returned, the same feeling that I was truly alive and vibrating with the building pressure that was flushing my skin. 

“Let go for me,” he breathed, coaxing against my folds.

And I shattered into a thousand pieces that spilled across and came together again, rebuilding the woman I now became with this intimate act, but without the bones of my frame. My mouth was dry, tears spilling from the corners of my eyes, and there was another jolt of electricity with another soft, intimate kiss from him. 

“Good girl,” he praised. “Now again, but I will add my fingers…”  

I felt stretched, but it was not uncomfortable. “Another one, sweet wife,” and Aemond continued while I mewled pitifully to his touch, to the tandem set as his digits curled within, its lewd noises sparking something anew. He pulled the pleasure from me with an intensity that rippled over, touching to the ends of my very being and fluttering towards the center once again. 

I was breathless, my heart bruising against my ribs, and I reached for Aemond, bringing him to the cradle of my hips; I felt the warmth of his skin against my own and his length was heavy, heady against the inside of my thigh. I kissed to taste myself, seeing how it glistened so enticingly on his lips and chin, and he responded with a rhythm, his mouth against my own, his length careful to press and rub against my silken folds, the slow rut of his hips to press against my swollen bundle of nerves. 

“Please, Aemond,” I panted against his mouth. “I am ready, I must have you.” 

And his demeanor changed, a dark lust that swallowed him whole though his actions were intentional, still heedful as he lined himself with my entrance; his thrusts were gentle to fill me, aware of my every reaction and sigh. 

It was a stretch beyond his digits, but not at all uncomfortable, just unfamiliar; it was a fullness as he sheathed entirely that had me moaning in response. Aemond paused for a moment so that I may adjust to his length and his girth; I felt him trembling and I reached to pull him until he was resting on his elbows, caging me to the bed with a silver curtain of his silk hair as his head dipped to capture my mouth for another sweet kiss.

I gasped against his lips from the slow rolls of his hips against my own, my legs lifting to knot around his slender waist and pull him closer; his head moved to the curve of my neck, his lips pressed to muffle his moan, kisses and teeth  with his each thrust. I could feel my muscles tightening in response from this different kind of pleasure, something deeper that pulled at me, beckoning towards an edge… 

Another low groan from Aemond reverberated throughout and my body responded, the flutter of my walls around his member; stars danced before my eyes, my nails bit into his ivory skin, with bold crescent moons left behind. 

“Once more for me, sweet wife,” he panted against my skin, shifting his weight to reach between us, his touch now familiar, and I fell apart beneath him while his cock pulsated within. 

It was the intimate tangle of bare limbs, our breaths an exchange before Aemond moved and took his warmth with him. It was a soft whine at the emptiness and he leaned back, a quick kiss to my hairline. “Allow me,” and he was quick to grab a clean cloth from the basin, his touch gentle to wipe away the pearly spend between my thighs. 

I hummed in response, the blood rushing to where his hand was touching. 

“Are you all right?”

He asked with such genuineness that I could have laughed, but instead, I pushed myself to my elbows to kiss him again. “I am more than all right,” I promised, “I am only insatiable for my husband.” 

Aemond was beautiful, a silver dream embodied, but I saw how he darkened with my words, with his own insatiable lust returned. He moved between my thighs once again, a low hum, “my beautiful wife,” and I knew that I would never grow tired of his devotion to me.

Ours never knew peace.

THE PACT OF ICE AND FIRE

so there's an aspect of this one i don't think has really been delved into that I think may be important when it comes to canon jonsa and I wanted to do my own lil analysis, along with maybe some tin hatting at the end here.

this is what the pact is (or what we know of it at any rate, Munkun is not exactly a good source of information):

Cregan Stark and Jacaerys Velaryon reached an accord, and signed and sealed the agreement that Grand Maester Munkun calls “the Pact of Ice and Fire” in his True Telling. Like many such pacts, it was to be sealed with a marriage. Lord Cregan’s son, Rickon, was a year old. Prince Jacaerys was as yet unmarried and childless, but it was assumed that he would sire children of his own once his mother sat the Iron Throne. Under the terms of the pact, the prince’s firstborn daughter would be sent north at the age of seven, to be fostered at Winterfell until such time as she was old enough to marry Lord Cregan’s heir.

There's two parts to this that I think are important here. Here is the first, which is the basics of the pact, and that most Jonsas are familiar with:

Jacaery's First Born Daughter Is Fostered At Winterfell -> She will marry Cregan's first born son and heir.

Obviously, this never happened for several reasons and the pact is forgotten but perhaps it will be fulfilled anyway by...

Jon, a secret Targaryen bastard, is "fostered" at Winterfell -> he will fulfill the pact by marrying a Stark Maiden aka Sansa.

Basically, it's a genderswapped version of what the pact entails. I think given George's fondness for how Tolkien was a hater of Macbeth because he thought the "no man of woman born" should have indicated a girl and not just a man born via c-section, I think the genderswap aspect fits George's style.

The second part however, has more to do with Jacaerys and Sara and I feel like it's glossed over a bit. See here:

They had spoken their vows in Winterfell’s own godswood before a heart tree, and only then had she given herself to him, wrapped in furs amidst the snows as the old gods looked on.

Jacaerys, a "secret" Targaryen bastard who gets his family name and allegiances through his mother, not his father -> Rumors of a secret marriage in front of a Weirwood with a Stark bastard, Sara

Listen. It doesn't matter whether Sara Snow is real, you believe whatever makes you happy! But what IS real and relevant is that this part was included in F&B for a reason, and is indicated to be the catalyst for the pact. Jace and Sara get secret married in front of a Weirwood, and this is what calms down Cregan so they can make their pact. And here is how (I believe) it applies to Jonsa:

Jon, a secret Targaryen bastard, but who gets his look and his allegiance not through his father but Lyanna's blood -> Jon, a Stark bastard, will marry an Heir in secret in front of a Weirwood tree.

THAT is, imo, the most important aspect of this scandalous story from Mushroom - that a secret bastard, a targaryen and a stark, secretly marry in front of a Weirwood tree just before a bloody war kicks off. People tend to make Sansa the Sara in this part, which is valid, but I think Sansa's role in this is not just to be the pretty Stark maiden, but to be the HEIR that is secretly marrying for love, like Jacaerys is, and that Jon's role will be about his status as a bastard, so that both parts kind of apply to both characters. And given that, if Jace and Sara had married, their daughter would have been a Starkgaryen with "secret" bastard heritage (from both her parents), marrying a Stark Heir, it does make sense (at least in my mind) that this may apply to Jon and Sansa's future plot. the That's something I touched on here in my "what will Jon's endgame" post.

Then there's the Vermax of it all...

Mushroom also claims that Vermax left a clutch of dragon’s eggs at Winterfell, which is equally absurd. Whilst it is true that determining the sex of a living dragon is a nigh on impossible task, no other source mentions Vermax producing so much as a single egg, so it must be assumed that he was male. Septon Barth’s speculation that the dragons change sex at need, being “as mutable as flame,” is too ludicrous to consider.)

This brought to mind the ole' Jonnel and Sansa (the first) thing - beyond the J&S similarities (Jacaerys & Sara, Jon & Sansa, Jonnel & Sansa), I think it's also important that Jonnel and Sansa never have any children, though they're married for several years. Jacaerys and Sara also never have children, yet there's the rumor Vermax laid eggs in the crypt, with some believing this may have meant Sara was pregnant (but perhaps miscarried) when Jacaerys left. I think however, the fact that both J&S couples kind of mysteriously do not have children of their own, and that their Houses descend from someone else to be important.

I've kind of briefly gone into the idea that Bran rules in a parliamentary style over (what's left of) Westeros, and while I'm not too committed one way or the other on whether he physically has children or whether they elect the ruler on the Iron Throne more often starting from Bran, the succession is significantly less of an issue because of the permanent Great Council/Parliament that will exist. Sansa (and Jon, for that matter), however, is the heiress to a long line of kings and lords and needs some sort of heir. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibililty that while in the Vale, she connects with some of Jocelyn Stark's descendants (the famous "Vale cousins" that Catelyn mentions as heirs for Robb) and makes one of them her heir, or even names the children of Arya her heir, and pulls a Queen Elizabeth, but then I thought of Vermax laying dragon eggs that are never found, and Jonnel and Sansa never having children, and George's love of threes and thought...perhaps Jon and Sansa will have an heir, but Sansa can't claim the child as hers.

In that same vein, it’s noteworthy to me as well that Serena and Edric (Sansa's younger sister and Jonnel's younger brother) have TWO sons but the line completely bypasses them. We have no idea how the Northerners felt about these marriages beyond the fact that they didn't like Lynara's sons because their rules were plagued by troubles. Is it possible that they chose to bypass Edric's sons because of the incest, and Sansa/Jon may be forced to reconcile with how the realm views him (as Ned's son) and what he actually is (Lyanna's son) when it comes to the line of succession? IE - Vermax is rumored to lay an egg in the crypts but no one ever finds out, Sansa is rumored to have have had a child with her “brother” but no one ever finds out the truth.

TO SUM UP: I think the Pact of Ice and Fire is a hint that Jon and Sansa will secretly marry in the godswood of Winterfell, and it's likely that when Sansa is named Queen in the North, her heir will be "fathered by a wolf" or a "wildling" and she and Jon won't be able to tell anyone that Jon is the father.

[righteousmen]

if i became the monster, and threw that guilt away, would that make us stronger? Rhaegar to Lyanna

"You're not a monster." Lyanna argues, sitting next to him and taking his hand. "Th-this got... out of hand." That was a bit of an understatement, but she didn't want to make this malaise of his any worse. "But we can fix this, I'm sure we can, but turning to... monstrosity isn't how to do it - and it isn't who you are." She cups his cheek, emploring him to look at her. "You're not a monster, and I won't let you become one."

[martellspear]

it bothers us because you have delusions that martell princess who was raped but nobody except her family was bothered by it cause she was so irrelevant suddenly should matter more than Jon Targaryen's parents who according to canon 'he loved her she loved him' and their love brought about the birth of the prince who was promised

suck on it irrelevant ugly woman stans and you have the gall to compare princess viserra to her when viserra was million more beautiful than the dornish scum and her ill spawn could ever be

Jon WHO? LMAO. I wasn't going to post this - my moots & followers don’t deserve to read this shit -  but it made me laugh more than the others

Rhaegar chose Lyanna, I agree.... but it was to die. Do you think he wouldn't have taken here somewhere safer and with more people to ensure > her < safety during childbirth if he wanted to? Please.

He could've let Elia die in a third pregnancy and be free from her and marriage duties. The thing is that the moment he found out it might happen he went "no❤️".

Also, I'd be embarrassed to use the show as source. Especially if my pRoMisEd pRiNcE's end was that one.

'Ugly woman' and that's her:

"The crowning of the Stark girl, who was by all reports a wild and boyish young thing with none of the Princess Elia’s delicate beauty."

I can't believe you're so obsessed to the point of seeing posts I don't tag😭. Go use that time to read the books, they're fun.

On a more serious note [tw: rape]:

You are disgusting. Do you know how hard someone has to try to be worse than some ASOIAF men?

‘In Casterly Rock, it was common knowledge that Gregor Clegane had killed Elia and her babe. They said he had raped the princess with her son’s blood and brains still on his hands.’

That’s what you are mocking. I don’t care that she’s a fictional character, what you and your rabble say about her is truly sickening, it’s heartbreaking that you get to vote.

Someone who’s not from her family and cares a lot about what happened is Ned. I’m sorry if his own sister’s death didn’t influence his non-Jon decisions but Elia’s did.

Thus, one of the reasons he gives Cersei the chance to escape is his memory of Elia and her children's bodies presented to Robert and his reaction, you can’t even deny how much it affected him.

‘Ned had named that murder; Robert called it war. When he had protested that the young prince and princess were no more than babes, his new-made king had replied, “I see no babes. Only dragonspawn.” Not even Jon Arryn had been able to calm that storm. Eddard Stark had ridden out that very day in a cold rage [...]’

A few other quotes: 

‘Tyrion watched the faces of the Lords Tyrell, Redwyne, and Rowan, wondering if any of the three would be bold enough to say, “But Lord Tywin, wasn’t it you who presented the bodies to Robert, all wrapped up in Lannister cloaks?” None of them did, but it was there on their faces all the same. Redwyne does not give a fig, he thought, but Rowan looks fit to gag.’

"Cersei is frightened of you, my lord … but she has other enemies she fears even more. [...] In Dorne, the Martells still brood on the murder of Princess Elia and her babes.

‘Some nights, Ser Barristan wondered if he had not done that duty too well [...] m. Princess Elia and the children. Aegon just a babe, Rhaenys with her kitten. Dead, everyone, yet he still lived, who had sworn to protect them.’

‘The Dornishmen burn to avenge Elia and her children [...]’

I know you can’t relate but Elia was loved. It wouldn’t matter if ‘only her family’ cared, what happened to her was brutal and nothing changes it. You people just come off as rude, uneducated and ignorant. 

Fun fact: the name 'Elia' is mentioned 75 times throughout the series, 'Lyanna' 53 and 'Rhaegar', thanks to Dany, 258

Whoa! I wonder how Asoiaf fans reacted back then???

*Lyanna Tully*??? You mean Sansa???

Unbelievable Unthinkable Outrageous

~~~

Look, I'm not saying that Lyanna really looks like that as the text says she has the Stark Look, but it's interesting that the artist chose this look (blue eyes/auburn hair) to depict Lyanna precisely in the scene where she was crowned with the crown of winter roses as the Queen of Love and Beauty by Rhaegar Targaryen during the Great Tourney at Harrenhal.

So I was scrolling down your blog and I saw this ask of Daenys having visions about Dany and Jon:

https://www.tumblr.com/cherryheairt/760767237886984192/do-you-think-daenys-would-ever-dream-of-jon-snow?source=share

Targaryens after the Dance have a tendency to get obsessed with their dragon dreams, and that ultimately brings their downfall. Obviously wouldn't want that for Daenys, and if you are planing to writing it at all, I was thinking that maybe, Daenys wouldn't dream anything that happens in the books/show, but rather, their childhoods.

Like, she sees Jon growing up at Winterfell with Rob, Arya and the other Stark children, sees Dany in Braavos with her red door and lemon tree and all that.

That way she would only see happy children, and she wouldn't have a reason to worry and overthink any of it.

WAIT that is so pure and cute. I believe both would be decended from her blood line in some way. With Lyanna being their granddaughter some time down the line, so Jon would be a grandson too. Dany is from Rhaenyra and Daemon's line so great grand something niece.

If she dreams of a little Stark boy and Targ girl she might originally think them to be her future children, then forget that thought when actually seeing her kids grow up.

Jon didn't have the best childhood, being ostracized by Catelyn and distant because of that with Sansa and Arya growing up. But, he did have good memories with Ned, Bran, and Robb I believe m.

Dany had ups and downs in Bravos, while she was being sponsored financially she was also orphaned with a nasty older brother.

They both had rocky childhoods with good moments in between, perhaps Daenys might see some chunks of both from Jon and Dany.

Dany having dreams is quite cute, too. I'd like to think (with my story direction) that Daenys is written into Westeros history books in the future as a prophet and the Targaryen line looks up to dreamers like that.

That line where she defended herself from that one ornery lord who didn't give her ships, "But I dreamt that if I carried those eggs into a great fire they would hatch..." and then she became the mother of dragons from prophesying it. Just like Daenys did, she would search history books for answers to her dreams. Daenys never found answers, but Dany would thanks to Daenys.

And Jon is more like Cregan, brooding and serious but sworn to duty no matter what.

Still, the after-main story chaps are pretty far, so lots of ideas to come for it!

“Well that’s good, that your memories came back. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to have to live without them,” Lyanna nods. This place was confusing enough already, there didn’t need to be added confusion on top of it. “Hm, that’s odd,” They hoped that never happened to them, it was important to Lyanna to know the life they’d lived and where they had come from. “This place is much more advanced than back home.” They had still been struggling to figure out how to use a cellphone, whilst trying to figure out everything else. “A queen? Did you become queen in the north?”

"I suppose I did not know any different," Sansa replied, "But it is weird to think about now," she nodded, "It certainly is. One of the perks of having other memories is that I kind of get it," she smiled proudly at the other as she asked after her position, "Yes, that was what happened in the end. It was rather odd how it all turned out but it felt right."

Feedback fest 2024 🌻

Well RIP to my bookmarks because I just noticed that so many of my favourite fics have been deleted or made anonymous/put in a collection. Thought it would be fun to do this anyway.

Also apparently I managed to post this when it wasn't done (can you tell technology doesn't like me?) And for some reason I couldn't edit the original post (and what's up with that??). So uh, if anyone had liked the first post I deleted it because I got annoyed.

All fics on the list can be found on AO3

A Year In Toussaint by astolat

The Witcher; Rated E; Geralt of Rivia/Emhyr var Emreis

"[...] - and found himself spilling the whole sob story of his success to Emhyr, who actually broke and laughed out loud when Geralt got to the racehorses."

One of my comfort fics, will read it for a multitude of reasons but mostly just because it's so well-written and engaging (which is just all of astolat's fics really)

Hunger and Appetite by thegoodbutter

Shadow & Bone; Rated E; Aleksander Morozova/Alina Starkov; Modern AU

I couldn't actually tell you how many times I've read this, it's just SO GOOD. And the food descriptions are just fantastic, makes me want to cook up a storm/start baking something even though I hate doing the dishes afterwards.

The Stars Don’t Shine, They Burn by Sarcasmismydefaultmode

Shadow & Bone/The Witcher; Rated E; Alina Starkov/Emhyr var Emreis; Second Best AU

Read it. Do it. It's so fucking good. I usually don't read crossovers anymore but I couldn’t resist this one and it was so worth it. It blends the two worlds so well while making sure that the edges are obvious enough that you can still tell which parts came from what canon.

Amazing Grace (series) by Druid Moon

Marvel Cinematic Universe; Darcy Lewis/Clint Barton; Many references to different forms of crafts

A relic from when I mostly read MCU fics that I return to again and again and again. Super cosy, slightly sad, incredibly well-written, one of those fics that just draws you in once you start reading it.

coronas of wolf-teeth and rivers by Dialux

A Song of Ice and Fire; Not Rated; Catelyn Stark/Ned Stark; AU; Robert dies at the Trident, Ned dies at the Tower of Joy, Catelyn becomes Queen of Westeros

I remember reading the summary and basically attacking my phone screen to open the fic. It ties itself together so neatly from the premise and the way Catelyn is written is just fantastic.

Diplomatic Relations by KrazzeeAJ1701

Star Trek; Rated M; James T Kirk/Sybok; AU, Female James T. Kirk

Listen, I had a phase where I mostly read gender swap and I found some real gems - this being one of them. I don't re-read it as often as I should but every time I do I remember how much I like it and how fantastic the writing is. The set-up just makes sense and the progression of the story makes you want to keep reading forever.

the ghosts won't matter because we'll hide in sin by soapboxblues

A Song of Ice and Fire; Jaime Lannister/Lyanna Stark; AU

A cute little AU where Lyanna survives the Tower of Joy and is subsequently turned into a political pawn etc etc. Incredibly well-written and the pieces just fit together so well.

The Debt of Time by ShayaLonnie

Harry Potter; Rated E; Sirius Black/Hermione Granger; AU, Time Travel, Soul Bond

I must have read this at least 15 times by now. It just works so well, you know?

For One Last Day by fideliant

The Hobbit; General Audience; Bilbo Baggins/Thorin Oakenshield; AU

"The things we don't do for love." It's so bittersweet and lovely and all those wonderful things that make me want to smile and cry at the same time. Sort of chances-not-taken and now we're old wrapped up in this little moment that fits so well into the canon of LOTR.

Eurybia by Annerb

Pirates of the Caribbean; Rated T; Elizabeth Swan/Will Turner; Jack Sparrow/Elizabeth Swan; AU

"A love story. Elizabeth Swan and the sea." Read it. Just do it. It's so so so good. And it's barely 1200 words so you can read it and then spend an hour contemplating what you just read and still have time to do other things.
