Saw some Epic warrior!Penelope aus where our favorite girl ends up at war in Odys place and had to throw my own au in there
When the ships of Ithaca are called to war, Odysseus by some horrible coincidence (or perhaps something more?) falls terribly sick. Physicians are certain he’ll pull through, he’s young, he’s healthy, he’s blessed by gods, they say, he has a newborn son to raise, and kingdom to protect, he has so much to live for. They say he will be better, but they cannot say when.
It has been weeks, and Agamemnon demands his presence. They don’t want to leave without the clever, Athena blessed king of Ithaca.
Penelope, still weak from childbirth, grieving for a husband she hasn’t yet lost, dresses in her loves clothes and sails off to war with 600 men. Eurylochus and Polites, Odysseus’s best friend and brother in law, are the only ones to notice.
Penelope had long trained with Odysseus, he believed she needed to be able to fight as well as he could, if not better, to assure she was safe. “I’ll always protect you” he always said “but if that terrible time comes that I am unable, I need you to be able to protect yourself as I would.” She had laughed and said she would kill any who dare attack her or her love.
Now she put those skills to use, ten years of war, pretending to be Odysseus.
Of course, her own crew realized soon enough. Her disguise did not hold up in such close quarters. With the support of her closest allies, they eventually (though some reluctantly) turned to her aid. Ensuring that, for all the years they fought Troy, she was never found out.
Athena guided her hand, she would joke to her crew after every battle she won, but the owl at the edge of her vision was no illusion.
Now, after her Trojan Horse succeeded, she sails towards home, dreading what she will find despite her joy at the idea of seeing her love again
Back in Ithaca, Penelope has no need to worry for her husbands loyalty.
Raising his son in a kingdom missing all its best soldiers, oddyseus worries constantly for his wife. Every day, hundreds of men and women invade his castle, and he cannot get them to leave. The last dregs of illness still haunt his body, and he cannot fight them all.
They ask him to marry them, to marry their daughters (most of which are far, far too young. Many no older than Telemachus)
He wants only to sail off, build a ship of whatever materials they have left and run away with his son to find his mother. He cannot, his kingdom still needs a ruler.
He misses Penelope, Polites, Eurylochus, Elopenor, Perimedes. Even Athena seems to have disappeared.

New Chapter! (12 of ?)
Secondo and Isabel savor their last day together before finally arriving at Varberg.
Story summary
Having fled the instability of Scotland when the Bruce declared himself king, Isabel has spent the past years living off the goodwill of her royal godmother, but that can’t go on forever. With no offers of marriage forthcoming, and no other abbeys willing to take her, Isabel hopes the Ministry at Linköping will at last offer her a home.
Read on AO3
or a snippet below the cut
The next week passed in a blissful haze. Isabel spent the nights indulging in the pleasures of the flesh with Secondo, and the days in either easy conversation or catching up on the sleep she was markedly missing during the nights. No more vagabonds assailed them and other than the occasional snow fall, the weather held tolerable. Nevertheless, the week and a half of hard travel was beginning to wear on most of the party. They all were doing their best to keep their exhaustion in check, but Secondo had needed to pull Knut and Ulf apart when they had stopped for lunch the day before. What had begun as a friendly debate about whether heather or berry mead was better had escalated into the two guards rolling about in the snow and swearing undying vengeance. After tempers had cooled, they had both shamed facedly apologized. 
It was therefore with a mixed sense of relief and sadness that Isabel spied the village marking their last stop before the castle. She had been roused from another nap by the tense voices of Secondo and Alpha in rapid conversation. Isabel wasn’t entirely certain if they were speaking Italian or Latin or a combination of the two. But, noticing she was awake, Secondo had broken off and come to her side. Isabel could feel the dissatisfaction from Alpha despite the mask but saw little she could do to assuage him.  
Taking Secondo’s offered hand, she sat up fully in the sled and took in the village before them. It was larger than several they had stopped at, the proximity to the castle no doubt ensuring a higher number of travelers. The sun was already low on the horizon, and she could see smoke winding from each chimney. 
“The last stop,” she said quietly. 
“Sì,” Secondo said just as softly beside her. Her hand tightened on his where she still held it. She knew that come tomorrow morning she would have to start constructing distance between herself and Secondo. Their affection was too easy, their touch too instinctual for anyone to believe that she was a nun. But the idea of distance between them pained her heart. She wondered, idlily, if they locked their door at this inn how long they might keep out the world. A day or two was all she could imagine, even in her dreams. They were both too aware of their responsibilities to man the barricade much longer than that. 
“The inn looks nice.” Isabel forced cheer into her voice and a smile onto her face as the building came into view and the sled slowed to a stop. 
“It does,” Secondo agreed. The sled had barely stopped moving before stable boys were rushing to the horses’ heads and the door was flung open and a barrel-chested man emerged. He wore a full beard, but his cheeks appeared ruddy above it and his blue eyes twinkled in joy. 
“Welcome! Welcome!” he called to them. “Welcome to our humble establishment!”  
“Thank you,” Knut called back from his position as driver. “We require rooms for my lord and lady, as well as ourselves, and stabling for our horses and sleds.”  
“Not a problem! We have space enough for all,” the innkeeper said. Secondo had already stood and now climbed out of the sled, turning to lift Isabel out of the sled in a familiar series of movements. Slipping her hand into his again, Isabel let Secondo lead them across the snow to the entrance. 
“My lord! My lady! Come in, come in!” the innkeeper exclaimed as they approached and held the door for them to enter ahead of him. “What travel brings you our way?”   
“We go to visit my wife’s sister,” Secondo replied easily, guiding Isabel into the room with a casual hand on her waist.   
“Wonderful! A happy occasion I trust?” he asked. 
“Not entirely,” Isabel grimaced and replied. “Some trouble with her husband.” 
“No! But then her husband must be a fool if you sister is anything of the beauty you are, my dear.” 
Isabel couldn’t help her soft laugh at the comment, but Secondo’s hand tightening on her waist said that he perhaps didn’t view the compliment in the same light. 
“Perhaps we might have some food?” Secondo asked coolly.   
“Of course, my lord! Meant no offence by it. But say, I’ve traveled in my time and fancy that I’ve an ear for accents. You’re no Swede, if I may say so.”  
“I am not.” 
“No, see, thought not. Where abouts do you come from?”   
“Italy.” Secondo said, still slightly reserved but seemingly more comfortable now that Isabel’s beauty wasn’t the focus of the man.  
“Italy!” the innkeeper exclaimed in rapturous joy. He then began to speak in what Isabel could tell was heavily accented, but going by Secondo’s reaction, understandable, Italian. With broad gestures he drew Secondo further into the room, pausing only occasionally for Secondo to offer some short reply before launching again to an enthusiastic account.   
“Forgive my husband,” a voice said from Isabel’s elbow, itself slightly accented as well. Isabel turned to find a woman just slightly shorter than her and perhaps twenty years older watching the innkeeper and Secondo converse with fondness in her eyes. “He doesn’t travel as he once did—an old injury makes it too much—and will seize any chance he’s given to reminisce.”   
“It’s no trouble,” Isabel said with a smile. “My husband seems to be enjoying himself.”   
And he did, a ghost of a smile graced Secondo’s face and he seemed content to nod along with the man’s stories.   
“You are no doubt chilled. Come sit by the fire,” in innkeeper’s wife said and Isabel followed her to several wooden chairs placed before a large blaze. 
“The sauna is already warmed if you would like to use it later,” the woman said once Isabel was seated.  
“Sauna?”  
“Yes, you’ve taken one before?”  
“I have not.”  
“Oh! But then I will take you out there and show you just what do. Your husband can join later, if my husband hasn't talked his ear off.”   
“How could I refuse?” Isabel asked with a smile.

A Break in Routine
Pairing: Prince!Regulus x Guard!Reader
Word Count: 3.1k
Warnings:  Maybe a little angst, grouch Regulus, attempted murder??? 
Cross posted on AO3
Author notes: Definitely going to be a part 2 just need to write it this has been chilling for like  a year and I want to post it so surprise it's here, have fun, also just a little FYI reader comes in later the beginning is a lot of Regulus but reader shows up I promise, the next part will be all about them, sorry enjoy
I do not give permission to people republishing, printing, copying, reposting or stealing my stories
✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧☽☀☾✧
Regulus POV
Regulus' world had always been the same monotonous routine. It consisted of exquisite food, and boring repetitive lectures on economics, trade, and war tactics, with each of his teachers more boring than the last with their long-winded speeches that could put anyone to sleep in a matter of minutes.
Before all that, Regulus used to enjoy his days when he could sneak off from boring teachers and sit in the garden sketching and painting to his heart's desire. He missed when he got to go for a carefree ride on his horse and did not learn about the best way to ambush an enemy when in a mountain pass. But the thing that Regulus missed most of all was his older brother Sirius.
Three years ago Sirius had escaped into the night never to be seen again leaving Regulus the sole heir to their parents' kingdom. Regulus missed the days when he had no responsibility but h3 missed his brother more, Sirius was one of the only people that could bring colour into Regulus' bland world. The pranks the two would pull on unsuspecting castle staff, although the tricks were never too cruel the staff had enough to deal with when their parents were there. And as much as Regulus wanted to resent Sirius for leaving him all alone with their parent he just couldn't, he knew that Sirius needed to leave he just wished he could've gone with him.
Regulus believed he would be stuck in a repeating cycle of boredom for the rest of his life and he truly didn't believe that anything or anyone could change the outcome of his life. His parents would marry him off to some princess or the daughter of a lord for something political he wouldn't care to understand, and when he came of age he would be crowned king and his wife the queen. That was how Regulus thought his life would go with his whole future planned for him with no say in the matter. Regulus truly believed that until an assassination attempt on his life ended with a plot to uproot Black's house from the Kingdom's monarchy.
That day had been relatively typical for Regulus and when he said normal he meant utterly boring beyond belief, so if that morning you had told him that someone would try to kill him within the next twenty fours hours he would have laughed in your face and told you to have them do it right now. Although the more Regulus thinks back on that day and the events that had occurred which seemed completely coincidental at the time he begins to remember the sinking feeling of dread he had when he walked into his bed-chamber the collar of his shirt sticking to the back of his neck from the water droplets falling from his hair.
Regulus felt utterly comfortable in very few places within the castle, he hated the stares that curious staff would send the quiet heir of the Black family. Regulus often enjoyed leaving the suffocating walls of the palace and enjoying the well-kept gardens that surrounded it, even though his parents didn't particularly care for the botany aspect of the castle they still had people tend to it. Regulus didn't enjoy being inside the palace too much. It was too suffocating for his liking, but Regulus did feel comfortable in his room, the castle staff never came in when he was in there and the view of the gardens from his balcony always helped to inspire him for new pieces of artwork.
But that moment when he first stepped into his room something felt wrong as if somebody had come into his room and shifted all the furniture an inch from where it had been sitting, quickly scanning over the room Regulus went to the stone fireplace and picked up one of the heavier tools that had been sitting beside it. Holding the tool to his side Regulus began to do a thorough search of his room before he jolted back upright from a knock on the door.
Opening the door to a servant carrying a bundle of firewood, stepping out of the doorway the servant looked at Regulus curiously as he held the fire tool in his hand. Realizing what he was still holding he returned it to its place before excusing himself from the room and going into his balcony. The breeze lightly ruffled the fabric of Regulus' shirt from where it hung loose on his body, he pushed some of the lighter strands of hair behind his ear and out of his face as he walked over to the stone railing on the edge of the balcony.
Leaning against the railing Regulus waited till the fire had been lit properly and the servant had left his room. Making his way back into his bed-chamber the feeling of dread fell over him again. Regulus decided to shrug off the feeling as before when he searched for what was causing the feeling to find nothing. Slipping into his bed Regulus was instantly comforted by the weight of the blankets covering him, the silky water-like feel of the sheets that surrounded his body lulled him into a tired state, the crackling of the fire created a warm atmosphere, and the breeze that fluttered his curtains made the perfect sleeping conditions that very rarely came along.
Regulus could feel his eyelids starting to become heavy, much too heavy for him to be able to keep open, so instead of fighting it, Regulus succumbed to his need to sleep.
Regulus felt the cool breeze of the night tickle the back of his neck as he awoke, Regulus looked around his room as he waited for his eyes to adjust. Looking over to his balcony doors Regulus shot up from his previous position as he realized that the doors were open, he remembered that he had locked the balcony.
Pushing the covers off himself Regulus made his way to his balcony to lock the door, the feeling of a cold pointed tip pressed into the middle of Regulus' back.
"Don't move and your death could be quick." The intruder spoke, pushing the blade into Regulus' back. Panic flooded through his veins as he tried to figure out how to get out of this situation. Regulus was pulled away from the balcony and into the middle of the room, facing the fireplace in the center of the room Regulus looked upon the red embers of the dead fire and hoped that that would not be the last thing he saw. He wanted to see his brother again, feel the freedom he once had, fall in love and right then it felt as though all those things that Regulus longed for were going to be ripped away from him in some attempt on his life for something that was out of his power.
Loud footsteps were heard outside of Regulus’ door, and the pressure of the knife pressed against his back alleviated for a second as the assassin took some of their attention off of Regulus to monitor the door in those few seconds Regulus found bravery and a fire inside himself that he had never known before, lunging forward out of the grip of his attacker Regulus grabbed on of the heavy metal pokers from the face of the fireplace and swung around slamming it into the side of the assassins head, rushing away from the fireplace Regulus ripped open the door and ran out of his room.
Feet hitting the plush carpet underfoot Regulus pushed himself as much as he could as he searched the hallways for a guard there had to be one near him he had just heard footsteps, turning his head to the side Regulus crashed into something and collapsed into a heap on the floor at the impact of the hit. Looking up Regulus was met with the concerned face of a royal guard, pushing himself up Regulus started to explain what had happened quickly the guard yelled to the others behind him two of them followed him as they went in the direction of Regulus’ chamber three surrounded Regulus and ushered him down the hallway and one disappeared down the hallway to the guard station presumably to to get reinforcements to check on his room and to make sure the King and Queen were still alive. At that thought, Regulus decided it would be best to shut his mind off and follow the guards so that was what he did.
The next few days for Regulus seemed to all blur together, he went through his lessons barely listening to his tutors and mindlessly taking notes on what they said not to get lectured about paying attention, even though he had almost died days prior. Regulus was now forced into the throne room even more than he had been, as now investigators, royal guard, knights, and many others were coming to lend information on the assassin that had broken into his room, from what Regulus had heard the attacker was detained and locked away in one of the deepest parts of the dungeon, Regulus had been in that area once and he never wanted to have to see it again.
And now here he sat in the throne room once again reflecting on all that had happened to him to lead him up to this moment, it had been two weeks since the attempt on his life, and throughout those two weeks, he had been reminded that he should be grateful that it was an attempt and had not succeeded as if he had survived by some stroke of luck. Regulus was pulled out of his thoughts when the oak doors to the throne room were thrown open with a loud thud shaking the ground of the castle, earlier that evening the King and Queen had received word that new urgent information had been gained about the attack that could save the House of Black from utter inhalation at the hands of their enemies.
“Your Highnesses, we have found a source of information on the assassination attempt. It was not just a one-time thing, this was well planned out and has been in the works for years.” The man in front of the spoke, the final sentence he spoke with a much more serious tone Regulus could see his parents straighten up at it and the air around them became tenser. Nodding behind him, the guards opened the door, allowing two more guards to drag in a man. 
At first, Regulus could not recognize him, but the clothes he was wearing showed that he was of high standing within the kingdom. The top he wore looked like it was made of fine velvet, though the sleeves were caked in what looked to be dried mud, Regulus couldn't tell from where he was sitting, his pants although torn and bloodied looked to be of high quality, and the gold and jewels glinting off his fingers just confirmed Regulus’ suspicions of this man being of high standing within society, there would likely be an uproar from his arrest.
The man raised his head to meet the eyes of the royal family and Regulus reeled back in shock, from the expressions on his parents' faces he could tell that this was not what they were expecting. The man was someone Regulus recognized it was someone he knew, the man in front of them was a member of the royal court, one of the many lords that were meant to be in the throne room when decisions were being made and conflicts were being sorted out, this was a man Regulus had known since he was a young boy this man in question had found Regulus one day in the garden alone and wandering and offered him his ear. Though when that had happened Regulus had been six and this man in front of him couldn't have been any more than 15 at the time, oh how Regulus wished he could be a child again. Looking towards his parents he silently asked if he could be excused from this horrible turn of events, his parents luckily taking pity on him let him leave the grand room before they began their interrogation. 
The doors slammed shut behind Regulus but not even the thick oak of the doors could block out the shrill voice of his mother or the loud bellows of his father.
It had been a few days since that horrible afternoon and his parents had called him to discuss something with him. Entering his father's study he greeted his father with a respectful nod before he turned toward the other person in the room.
"Regulus this is (Insert Name), they will be watching over you to ensure there isn't another attempt on your life." His father spoke gesturing towards the other person in the room.
(Insert Name) was someone Regulus had seen before, they were a knight for the kingdom and had won many battles and had gained the respect of many in the kingdom. But not only was their reputation that of a knight their appearance was as well, they wore the usual chest plate of armour with the kingdom's emblem and arm guards, along with a green cape with silver accents. On their hip, they had their sword in a black sheath. They stood on guard and exuded the confidence all the other knights carried.
"I will protect his highness with my life sire." You respond to his father with a bow before turning to face Regulus and bowing to him. At that moment Regulus knew that the two of you would not get along.
The first few days of having you around were difficult for Regulus, he felt trapped, and you never left him alone. Even when he was going to sleep you would do a sweep of his room before he laid down, and you would come hourly to do another sweep of the room which had woken him up a couple of times. The overprotectiveness was annoying he couldn't deal with and his emotions were starting to boil over.
"You know you don't always have to wake me up to make sure I don't get killed, if your job is to look after me then you are doing a shit job," Regulus shouted after he was woken up for the second time that night.
"I'm sorry sir, but I need to make sure that you stay safe. It would be a deep regret if anything were to happen to you." You responded in a calm voice, this just angered him more.
"Ya because if anything were to happen to me, you would lose your oh-so-perfect reputation." Regulus lashed out at you, he hated this, he hated having a babysitter because of one incident he hated this, and all of this was bubbling up as anger and hatred towards you.
“Regulus, I understand that this arrangement is not ideal. But this is for your safety, I am only taking so many precautions so that you can stay safe. You can be angry at me all you want hell you can hate me, my job isn't to be loved by you it's to keep you safe, and I’m sorry that I have woken you up I will try to be quieter next time.” You spoke back to him just as calmly as you did before, leaving the room and leaving him in darkness with his thoughts. From that moment Regulus knew that maybe this wasn't just hard for him it was hard for you, you had to deal with his attitude and you were able to stay pretty calm, he knew that he was going to have to go easier on you or he might regret it.
From that day forward Regulus tried to be more patient, he engaged with you in more conversations and learned a great many things about you, one of those things being your love of horseback riding. So for today, Regulus decided that the two of you would enjoy the warm weather you were graced with and head out for a nice ride.
“It is unusual for you to ride your Highness, are you feeling quite alright?” You questioned once you had stopped to pause your ride.
“I happen to enjoy horseback riding very much, I just haven't had the time, or the clearance, to be able to go. But my schedule finally allowed it and I have you with me so what would stop me.” Regulus responded quickly, it came out much harsher than he intended and he internally cringed at the tone of voice he delivered his response in. but he lightened up on himself when he saw you smile at him.
“Nothing would stop you, your highness, you just look so at peace when you're out here, it's almost like your a different person.” You spoke out, moving your head down so that your hair shielded your face from his sight.
“We should continue on there are places I would like to go before I am needed back at the castle,” Regulus shouted out, breaking the calm mood that had formed between the two of you, galloping away he couldn't help the simile that stretched across his face as he heard you laugh from behind him.
“Of course your Highness I wouldn't want to make you late for your oh-so-important meeting with your mirror.” You quipped back at him, encouraging your horse to race ahead of him.
“Aren't you supposed to stay by my side and protect me,” Regulus shouted out from behind you.
“I would be able to if you could keep up.” You shouted back to him, turning around to look at the prince and send him an innocent smile as if you had never done anything out of protocol for a guard. But at that moment Regulus couldn't care less if you had breached protocol, you looked ethereal, with the way your face glowed from the sun hitting it through the trees highlighting all the beautiful colours hidden in your skin, to the creases by your eyes caused by a radiant smile, to Regulus at that moment you're a walking deity, a being born of starlight that was sent to earth to make it more beautiful.
You were so stunning tha-..... Regulus slowed his horse in an attempt not to fall off, he had just been hit in the face with a branch, or more accurately he had ridden into a branch because he was not focusing on anything but you.

Okay, but now I kinda want to see a Radskier version of this...
Because I can 100% imagine Jaskier being that adorable 7 year-old child that some evil noble would be jealous of and want to get rid of (because he's so damn charming and has such a beautiful, melodious voice, and natural way with words already, that it's obvious that the kid is going to be a menace that will have people falling for him left and right when he grows up!).
And so, he gets adopted by a bunch of outcasts (maybe Yarpen Zigrin and his men?) that are constantly trying to tell him to stay away from strangers, and stop putting random things into his mouth!
But he's a 7 year-old version of Jaskier, i.e. a puppy dog of a child with even less impulse control and inhibition than the adult version of him has! So, of course he just gets instantly fascinated with each new person he meets, and spontaneously goes to hug their legs, tell them he thinks they look pretty, ask them where they're from, want them to tell him stories, and will gladly eat anything they offer him that remotely looks edible!
Hell! He'll eat stuff lying around that don't even look edible! So, if it looks like an apple? Yeah. Poor child never stood a chance. The evil noble character wouldn't even have needed to try to interact with him or trick him. He'd just need to let a poisoned apple randomly lie on the forest floor close to the dwarves' camp, and you can be sure it would wind up in Jaskier's mouth, somehow!
And then, there's young 8 year-old Prince Radovid, that has the annoying habit of giving his guards the slip to go running off on his own into the woods; but somehow never gets lost - even when he goes missing for a few days - nor attacked by any of the forest's creatures, because he's that kind of prince!
You know, the kind of prince that can just summon squirrels through his bedroom's window to come clean up his room for him!
So obviously, he'd find the glass coffin with the "dead" but perfectly preserved boy inside, and immediately think "he's really pretty, and I think I should keep him with me!"
So, he finds this Witcher passing by on his horse Roach, tells him he's found a pretty boy trapped in a glass box that he'd like to bring back home, and the Witcher looks like he'd be strong enough to do it.
Intrigued (and perhaps just a bit concerned over the kid's sanity), the Witcher thus goes to investigate and finds out that young Radovid was telling the truth! He decides that he should bring the boy in the glass coffin to a powerful sorceress to try to figure out what happened to him, and if, perhaps, something could be done to wake him up.
He tries to convince the young Prince Radovid that he should go back home before his parents start to worry, but the kid is having none of it! He wants to stay with the pretty boy and is afraid that the Witcher will decide to just keep him, and that he'll never get to see him again.
Plus, he keeps insisting that no one will miss him, or even notice he's gone for a few days, at least! Because all that matters to his parents is his older brother - who's going to be king one day - and no one really pays attention to him. It's not the first time he's run off like that! Last time it took them about a week before they sent more guards to fetch him.
So now, Geralt is travelling towards Yennefer de Vengerberg's latest location by foot, with an 8 year-old Redanian Prince sitting on his horse and a glass coffin with some random child (that looks to be roughly the same age as the prince) trapped in some kind of death-like stasis of unknown magical origin inside of it hoisted on his shoulder...
At some point, Roach gets startled, and Geralt ends up tripping and almost dropping the glass box while attempting to make sure his horse doesn't accidentally throws Radovid off her back.
Next thing he knows, the "dead kid" is coughing out a large piece of poisoned apple, is fully awake, tries to hug him, wants to know if white is his real hair color, and if he'd let him wash and braid them later? No? Spoilsports.
And wow! How sharp are those swords? And why are there two of them? Oh! And does the wolf on his medallion mean anything? Also, he's hungry and wonders if Geralt has some food hidden somewhere (while actively rummaging through his bags)...
The moment he triumphantly pulls out a vial, thinking it's some juice to drink, the Witcher panics and knocks it out of his hands, immediately being called "rude" by a pouting and put off fucking 7 year-old kid!
But 3 seconds later, he totally forgets about being upset and now wants to know all about what Witcher potions are, and Witchers. Can he be one? Okay, maybe being a Witcher is not so much fun, then... But Yarpen keep saying he makes way too much noise to be a mercenary, too! So he'll have to figure something out and "be something" one day, right?
Apparently, the kid's full name and title is "Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount of Lettenhove", but it's too long, sounds way too fucking pretentious (it's unclear if the dwarves that adopted him taught him to curse, or if it's a habit that the child had picked up before), and so he prefers to go by Jaskier.
Oh, and he really loves to sing! Would Geralt want to hear him sing?
When the sound of another voice says that they'd love to, Jaskier nearly jumps out of his skin going "What the fuck are you doing here?" at the other child, prompting a very confused and wide eyed "b-but I've been sitting here the whole time!" from the much quieter, and much more reserved prince.
The very second little Jaskier has a chance to take a good look at the young Radovid, however, he immediately goes from startled to utterly fascinated, and now he's trying to awkwardly climb on top of Roach until the prince casually asks Geralt's fucking horse if she would be so kind to help him, and wouldn't you know it! Roach just grabs the kid by the back of his shirt, lifts him up, and sits him down right behind the prince while Geralt is looking at the interaction totally dumbfounded.
At least, now all of Jaskier's questions are directed at the prince that apparently couldn't be happier to answer them, and to be the center of the pretty boy's attention.
Among other things, Jaskier wonders if the big, buff, scary-looking white haired Witcher person is always so silent and grumpy, asks if he can run his fingers through the young prince hair, and braid them - then, when he receives confirmation, starts commenting on how soft his hair is, and wondering what their actual color might be (it's a really pretty kinda reddish-blonde, that seemingly keeps changing color with the way the sun's ray reflects in them... Does Radovid has magical hair? They smell really good, too!)...
Meanwhile, Geralt is wondering whatever the fuck he did to Destiny to deserve to be carrying two noble kids around on his horse - including one that won't shut up - even when he's got his nose buried deep into the other child's hair...
Oh! And he's singing now! Wonderful!
He's genuinely starting to wonder if he should be asking Yennefer to check up on him and make sure that he won't be suffering from any long term complications from the spell he was put under...
Or if he should be asking her if there's any safe way to put him back into that box and make sure he stays there!
That is, if the damn child doesn't wind up back in a coffin all on his own!
For some reason, that fucking kid keeps trying to make friends with every single monster they meet in their travel... And, the moment the fangs inevitably come out, the prince will apparently step in, in an attempt to talk the monster down and protect his companion!
Geralt is pretty sure that having to look after these two together while trying to keep them both alive is going to result in him starting to age at a normal human rate!
He has to admit, though, that Jaskier boy has a very decent singing voice - especially coming from one so young... And he's got quite a few catchy tunes, too...
Then, there's Prince Radovid... From what little Geralt has been able to gather from him, he's starting to suspect that he might have been abused back at the castle, or at the very least the victim of parental neglect. He seems way too mature and self-reliant for his age, and craves Jaskier's attention like someone that's gone invisible for far too long...
Halfway through their trip, the boys apparently decide that the two of them are going to get married when they get older, and live together in a cabin in the woods, close to the coast.
Of course, he's not enough of an asshole to tell them that he's sure the King of Redania is going to be delighted to hear about his youngest son's plans for his future, and would totally agree to that.
Turns out he wouldn't have needed to since, when they finally reach Yennefer de Vengerberg, the sorceress gives the "little sing-songy twit" a clear bill of health, and somehow decides that she wants to adopt both of the kids (she's apparently been wanting to become a mother for quite some time now, and sees this as the perfect opportunity)!
The Prince, of course, is delighted at the idea! As long as he gets to stay with the "pretty boy", apparently, he'd be happy! Plus, the fact that Yennefer seems like a mother that would actually want him is also a huge plus in favor of that plan.
And Jaskier's not agains it, but insists for them to find Yarpen first, to let him know he's alive, have them meet his "dwarf dad", and allow them to figure it all out together.
Somewhere along the way, Geralt and Yennefer fall in love, and Jaskier decides he now has a Witcher dad and a Witch mom, too...
He refuses to remotely consider Radovid as a brother, though, regardless of them now having the same parental figures.
Apparently, marrying him when they're all grown up would be really weird then (Jaskier is apparently really good at keeping track of his priorities, and those are very much not straight!) - and the prince fully agrees on that.
Even if Geralt mistakenly believes that they will probably have the opportunity to change their minds at least ten times about getting married before they actually get to that point.
Eventually, they do reunite with Yarpen and his company, that are absolutely delighted and beyond relieved to discover that their beloved tiny big fucking mouth is now awake, and very much alive!
Apparently, they met with some ancient elven lady that told them of some weird prophecy about the child, and that they needed to build some glass coffin and leave him there in the middle of the woods for some other kid to find if they wanted him to survive...
Really weird fucking stuff, but they'd figured that it was worth a shot, at least, and a much better plan than letting Jaskier be permanently dead.
And then, Yarpen and his company, Geralt, Yennefer, and the whole Witcher Keep, apparently, wind up raising two random noble kids, protecting them from some evil character that wants Jaskier dead out of jealousy (still haven't decided who that would be... Maybe, in that world, Valdo Marx would be older, and part of the nobility... Actually, it would be funny if no one actually knew who kept trying to murder Jaskier, and that was something they'd only discover once he's all grown up and has finally become everything that the evil character ever feared Jaskier would become) that keeps occasionally trying to trick him to his death (it's a recurring occurrence... Every now and then, Jaskier nearly dies or dies, they find a way to save or revive him... the usual!).
As for Radovid, every once in a while, Redania sends out some troops in an attempt to retrieve him... But, since every time they try to send their cavalry out the horses won't budge, whales keep sinking their ships, and their infantry get chased around by bears, squirrels, skunks, and fucking pigeons, each new attempt becomes more and more halfhearted.
Jaskier eventually becomes the bard he was always meant to be... Perhaps Radovid eventually retakes his Kingdom...
To everyone's utter lack of surprise, they do very much get married...
Pretty sure that, at some point, one of the attempts on Jaskier's life involved something like "true love's kiss" to break the spell, and Radovid totally aced it!
Well, depending on who you ask, because Geralt would argue that "true love's kiss" doesn't usually require as much tongue and groping. And Jaskier would very much disagree, arguing that a decent amount of tongue action is 100% crucial to the kiss' chance of success!
Yennefer would likely settle the argument by saying that Jaskier's probably right, given he's way too much of a diva to come back to life for someone that's unwilling to put in a little extra effort into the kiss to show that they really mean it.
Oh, and when the boys were in their late twenties, and announced that they would be attending Queen Calanthe's banquet together because Jaskier had been invited to perform, Yennefer told Geralt to go with them for protection, in case someone would attempt to take the opportunity to murder Jaskier - again.
And Geralt came back home that night announcing to her that he'd just accidentally adopted yet another princess - with super powerful Elder blood this time - and that they would probably need to move closer to Cintra for a few years, so Yennefer would be able to help train her.

WIP EXCERPT
The king noticed Carina standing against the wall, blinking and relatively composed despite how little sleep they were both getting. Her eye twitched as their gazes locked, but she didn’t break the silence that settled between her and her master, no matter how uncomfortable it grew to become. He would have to find her later, to see if she had discovered anything- to see if they were any closer to resolving this newfound nightmare. But Christian didn’t have the energy for that now, too overwhelmed by his initial discovery that his wife had been taken from right under his nose without anyone’s knowle1dge.
“No.” With only a wave of his hand, the man dismissed the question. “I’m coming, don’t worry about that. If anyone from court calls, I’m not available. If my family asks for me, I’ll be in my study or out riding.” His eyes darted all around the room, as if he expected his enemies to come back for him, like they had forgotten some piece of a puzzle or scheme they had concocted. But no witches or warlocks slipped into the palace; no stepmothers or other wicked relatives snuck by the guards to whisk him away… just how it should have been all those times before. “Carina,” Christian pressed,  unable to hide his fear, “have my agents been in contact yet? They should have arrived with some sort of clue by now- I told them how urgent this was.”
Both women refused to look their ruler in the eyes, some sort of fear settling over them. But they had to know that times were different now; this was not Triana’s palace any longer. Christian made it clear that his staff would not live in fear. He was about to speak again when he received a response.
“Yes, your Majesty. Kell called late last night- you were already sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you, but he assured he would be at the palace as soon as he can. He was dealing with a covert matter abroad but is trying his best to make it here to you as we speak. Your brother-in-law is preparing to leave the Choctaw nation- he’s just strengthening the borders and making sure your people are protected before he does that.” Carina’s voice shook as she fiddled with the hem of her suit jacket. But Christian didn’t question it; this was hard on everyone. Who knew how Kostini was taking it, what was going through his head at this very moment?
The king nodded once; his throat too filled with mucus from crying to form an intelligent response. He ran his finger along the rim of his mug for another moment before getting to his feet and walking out the palace doors. His family was still upstairs and he didn’t feel like sitting at an empty table. The weight of missing his wife was too heavy for this room, this house. He couldn’t be here.
Christian wasn’t sure where he was going until his feet stopped at the stables. His family’s horses whinnied and kicked, and he reached out to each of them, giving the steeds a soft stroke on their nose. He thanked the stable hand that helped saddle Ace, then mounted the stallion and kicked him to life, taking off towards the endless forest. Wind whipped across his face and through his hair, magic whirling around his veins as it sparked.
He didn’t slow the stallion to a stop until he reached the top of a hill overlooking the kingdom. How good of a king could he be if he couldn’t save his wife from threats? What if they came back for his son? Panic welled in the king’s chest, a raging fire as sobs tumbled from him. He couldn’t break at the palace, not when his son needed him to be strong. He couldn’t fall apart when he needed to show his nation that their leaders were strong and capable. In the few years he knew his father, he had never seen the man show any sign of pain, of struggle. Even on the day Veeron told him that his mother had died, Christian hadn’t shed a single tear. Having his wife be a million miles away was a sort of pain he bottled up easily. But maybe the fear made it manageable. Christian wasn’t sure, and it wasn’t as if he could ask his father about any of it. Triana had made sure of that.

Day 6: Lookout Landing and Hyrule Castle Gatehouse
I wake stiff and cold. It's been a while since I camped out. 
It’s so strange that nobody here seemed particularly astonished by all the floating islands, which suggests they've been there for some time. Even 100 years after the Calamity, people at the stables still talked about it. Maybe I was right, and the monumental changes in the landscape really are old news? Where does that leave me? 
I need more information. It's time to go to the tower. I whistle for Peaches, and we're off. 
On the way there, a very unwelcome development - some of the trees are uprooting themselves and chasing me. This is... frightening, but thankfully they are slower than a sprinting horse. 
Tumblr media
The guards Drozer and Burwar recognise me at the gates to the tower - or, at least the gates to Lookout Landing, which appears to be the name of the settlement. It sounds as though I was last here in their lifetime... and Burwar says that Purah is here! Though she does have the secret to eternal life, so that doesn’t really give me any clues. 
I find Robbie here too! But then, I could absolutely see him trying out Purah’s method of life preservation. Surely I must know someone who doesn’t have a preternaturally long lifespan? 
The Castle looms darkly over this otherwise cheerful encampment. The Gloom is so thick it reminds me of Malice, but it seems more ephemeral. It pushes at the Castle from below, rather than simply coating everything in that ichor of Calamity Ganon. 
Tumblr media
I find Purah, older than she was and in control. Her presence is somehow grounding. She listens to my experience of the last few days. She recognises the name Rauru - as the first king of Hyrule. I never did get on with kings of Hyrule, especially as ghosts. But how long ago did he live? Surely Zelda knew him as a ghost, then. She can’t have… no.
The Upheaval is what they're calling the Castle rising and the ruins falling. Those researchers yesterday said that the chasms turned up around the same time. So much change. Is it because Zelda and I went beneath the castle? Or would the same thing have happened without us there? That hand - Rauru's hand - only fell off the mummy creature when we arrived. And now I bear it… 
Purah thinks Zelda might be trapped beneath the castle, but I'm not so sure. What I saw on the sky island... I think it's more complicated than that. Still, I follow Purah's orders to meet with Captain Hoz’s search party. Surely they will know something.
Having to tell everyone, one by one, that I lost the Princess, that though I am back she is still missing, crushes me. I’ve failed. 
I meet a guy called Addison who works for... President Hudson! Well, sounds like he's thriving. I hope his wife is well.
Tumblr media
The people who guard Lookout Landing and the road up to the Castle are a mixture of mercenaries and guards. I’m sure I once rescued Oliff from bokoblins in Gerudo Canyon… which implies I haven’t been gone for too long, as he still seems young and hale. Purpen at the gatehouse has amazing dress sense, and useful information - it seems all the weapons in Hyrule have decayed in the Upheaval. That creature’s Gloom had a similar impact on the Master Sword - if that blade couldn’t resist it, nothing could. Except… my gear from the sky islands seems untouched. Perhaps it only affects metal, or certain kinds of metal? 
This motley crew is a shallow facsimile of the Castle Guard I used to know - though I know that time has now passed beyond the living memory of most. Only a few of us are left who remember it. I’m sure these people are doing their best. 
I head up the hill as instructed and find Captain Hoz. I’m not sure he knows much more than me - they haven’t even made it past the Gatehouse. 
But then we see the Princess!! She faces us from the next tower in that strange Zonai garb, her face impassive - and then before I can move she turns into light and vanishes. 
Tumblr media
Hoz orders me to report to Purah and I ignore him, racing to where the Princess stood. But there’s no sign of her. Nothing there but a Korok. What’s happening? Why can’t she send me some kind of message? If she’s away from me against her will, how can she have appeared here - and why would she leave? 
I stay on the tower’s edge until dawn.

King's will
Tumblr media
pairing: Aegon II Targaryen x OFC
summary: In the game of chess, the queen has more freedom on the chessboard. In that sense, the queen is the most powerful piece. On the other hand, the king has more value. Because if you lose the king, you lose the game. 
warnings: arranged marriage, medieval violence, slow burn
chapter 1 -> chapter 2 -> chapter 3 -> chapter 4 -> chapter 5
Fall of the year 123,
Bitterbridge
The neighing horses under Marcella's windows mixed with the voices of knights, making a familiar tune. The only routine thing in those small, dusty rooms. She is not sure why she is here; the bed looks like it is about to fall apart, and the only source of light is a half-burnt candle. Its dim light sways from the draft and the chilly nature of the first moon of Fall. Marcella wraps her shawl tighter around her shoulders, the fear of the unknown slowly creeping into her heart.
Her thoughts are interrupted by the almost silent knock and the hushed voice of the servant announcing a visitor. There are a few people who dared to disturb the lady at such a late hour: her sworn knight or
"Father!" Marcella exclaimed, standing up from the chair.
"Hello, my darling." Lord Fillis smiled. "Oh, how have you grown since the last time I saw you!"
Marcella rushed into her father's arms, feeling a sense of comfort and security wash over her. She had missed him dearly.
"Why are you not resting yet? We continue the road at dawn." Her father's voice was stern.
"I couldn't sleep, Father," Marcella replied, looking down at her hands. "I was too excited to see you." Lord Fillis chuckled softly, his eyes filled with warmth. "I understand, my dear. But remember, we have a long journey ahead of us. You must get some rest."
"Why are we in a rush?" Marcella asked, her curiosity piqued.
Lord Fillis sighed, his gaze turning distant. "Lord Hand assured me everything is ready," he explained cryptically. "We cannot afford to delay any longer."
Marcella nodded. She remembered the day she learned about the arrangement. That evening, she cried and cried until it made her sick. The poor servant thought she would jump off the cliff in the deep of the Sunset Sea, following her around day and night. She was young. Since then, Marcella has had enough time to accept her fate; it was her duty to her family and the gods.
"My darling," her father whispered, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "The gods have chosen you for this path. Do not let them down."
"I won't. I will honour our family and fulfil my duty," Marcella replied. If her father wants her to marry, she will. The time to repay his love and kindness has come. She couldn't bear to let him down.
-
Marcella was standing in an ancient white-walled hall, surrounded by a few guards. She could feel the weight of their gaze as they monitored her every move. The echo of her footsteps reverberated through the space, intensifying the sense of isolation. She heard people running around, mostly servants and cooks. Marcella wondered why they were made to wait in here and what they were waiting for, but her father stood silently, his brows furrowing in worry. He also seemed to not have the answers she longed for.
The Red Keep was truly massive, its towering walls and intricate architecture leaving Marcella in awe. She couldn't help but feel small and insignificant within its grandeur. Tyrell shivered, thinking about the endless possibilities of betrayal and dangers hiding in those large corridors. Her riding clothes were made of thick leather with subtle floral patterns, creating a beautiful ensemble. She didn't have time to change into a more appropriate gown, so she was left standing there, smelling of horses, sweat, and the road.
"Lord Filis?" A man appeared in one of the corridors. His voice echoed through the vast space, causing Marcella to jump slightly. She quickly composed herself, trying to hide her discomfort as she also turned towards the man, ready to face whatever news he had brought. "Queen Alicent awaits your daughter. You are advised to wait here."
Her father nods, visibly dissatisfied with the order. He places a hand on Marcella's back. Marcella could feel the tension in her father's touch, a mix of protectiveness and frustration. She knew he wanted to accompany her, but the protocol demanded otherwise. "Please her Majesty. Go."
Marcella nodded and took a shaky breath. She straightened her posture, determined to show strength in front of her father. Deep down, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She followed a man to one of the doors, watching him knock and announce her arrival. As Marcella entered the room, she was met with a sea of unfamiliar faces, all eyes fixed on her. She sank into the deepest curtsy one could manage, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Arise," a tired voice commanded. Marcella slowly rose from her curtsy, her eyes scanning the woman in front of her. The Queen's piercing brown eyes seemed to hold a lifetime of wisdom and experience. Marcella couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and nervousness in the presence of such regal beauty. As she studied the Queen's expression, she detected a hint of curiosity and perhaps even a touch of warmth, giving her a glimmer of hope that her audience might go better than expected.
"How did you find the road, Lady Marcella?" The Queen's voice was soft yet commanding, drawing Marcella's attention back to the question at hand. It was a simple inquiry, but Marcella knew that her response held a lot of significance. She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before answering, "Your Majesty, the road was long, but I am grateful for the opportunity to be in your presence today."
The noblewoman looked pleased with her answer. "Good. Maester Mellos", she gestures.
Only now does Marcella notice the old man standing behind the Queen. The Grand Maester comes closer to her, his steps heavy and slow. He scarcely lifted her chin with two fingers, his short nails scratching Marcella's skin. Marcella winced slightly at the touch but maintained her composure, not wanting to show any signs of discomfort in front of the Queen. The Grand Maester inspected her face, turning it from side to side to get a better view.
"Open your mouth, child,'' he mumbled. As Marcella obediently opened her mouth, the Grand Maester peered inside, examining her teeth and tongue. His expression remained impassive, giving no indication of his thoughts on her oral health. Satisfied with his inspection, he withdrew his hand and stepped back, allowing Marcella to close her mouth once again. "Take off your clothes."
"Pardon?" Marcella's voice trembled with confusion.
"Your clothes. Is your hearing bad?" the Maester asked.
"No, no, it isn't." Marcella shook her head, catching the eye of the Queen, who seemed more interested in the state of her ears than the indecent order. Tyrell hesitated for a moment before reluctantly starting to unbutton her top. It took her some time, but she managed to get the clothes off. Now, they pooled around her feet. Marcella stood there, feeling exposed and vulnerable. The Maester's gaze lingered on her, his expression unreadable. She fought the urge to cover herself, trying to maintain her composure in front of the Queen and the Maester's prying eyes.
She felt anger slowly creeping its way from her chest to her cheeks. She wasn't some servant girl, nor was she lowborn. She was a noblewoman from one of the Great Houses of Westeros, and those people judged her like a horse at the Fall festivities. Marcella's frustration grew as she realized that her status and noble lineage seemed to hold little weight at this moment.
Finally, the Maester stopped inspecting her body with his gaze and turned to the Queen, whispering something in her ear. The woman nodded and left the room, not even bothering to look at Marcella's shivering self twice. Maester Mellos curtseyed and followed Queen Alicent on her way out.
Marcella stood there, feeling a mix of confusion and humiliation. She couldn't help but wonder what had just transpired and why she was being dismissed so abruptly. The door opened again, now letting in two servants. Marcella didn't pay them much attention; she was deep in her thoughts. They picked up the clothes from the floor and folded them.
"Wait! Those are my gowns." Marcella exclaimed, finally snapping out of her daze and realizing what was happening.
"Apologies, my lady," the servant said softly. "These gowns are to be taken for cleaning and maintenance. They will be returned to you shortly."
"Well, am I to be naked then?" Marcella asked, a hint of frustration in her voice. The servants exchanged a glance before one of them spoke up, "Not to worry, my lady. Her Majesty was kind to gift you a gown."
Marcella felt her anger settle a little. At least she won't have to show the entire castle her bare form. "Well, show me the dress."
"My lady," one of the servants said, holding a green gown in her arms. The gown was made of rich velvet and adorned with intricate embroidery.
"Oh gods," Marcella said, feeling her unease returning. The dress looked like something her mother would wear, with the long sleeves and high neckline only showing a bit of shoulder. Her heart sank as she realized that the gown was not at all what she had in mind. Despite her disappointment, Marcella forced a smile and said, "Thank you." She will not disappoint her father by throwing a fit over a dress.
When the servants were done dressing her and putting her hair in place, they escorted her back to the hall she left her father in. There he was, in the company of Lord Hand and a few men Marcella had yet to meet. The talking and chatter stopped as soon as they noticed her. Lord Filllis's eyes lit up at the sight of the colours she was wearing—the colours of the Queen. The group of men bowed their heads in respect, and Marcella finally allowed herself to smile, oblivious to a few tears gathering in her eyes. She felt her father whisper "Good job" in her ear before continuing the previous discussion.
-
Alicent thought of herself as a good mother. She loved her children more than anyone in the world and was prepared to sacrifice her happiness for theirs. Though now she could not get her finger on the right thing to do. Even when the thought of Aegon's marriage to Helaena sent shivers down her spine, she said nothing. It was not her place to decide. But now, since Tyrell brought his daughter to court, everything has changed.
Mayhaps it was how similar the girl was to her. Surrounded by men who thought they knew better, bearing the duty of being the sacrificed lamb in the greater game. Young, naive, and scared. It was like looking into the best-polished mirror, the one Alicent tried so long to break into the smallest pieces and hide.
Mayhaps it was the way Helaena reminded The Queen of Rhaenyra. The same silver, almost white hair of Old Valirya and piercing violet eyes. Her daughter was youthful and delicate. Wed her to Aegon, and she will shatter.
Or the way those girls reminded her of a once strong friendship. Some evenings, Alicent wished she could return to those majestic times of her girlhood when she was free to do as she pleased. This memory fades away with each passing sun, and she holds onto it as tightly as she can. Still, it slowly vanishes.
All of her children had the features of her former friend. How ironic. Her sweet Helaena, brave Aemond, and Aegon. Her firstborn, her son. Once a cheerful babe. Now he drowned himself in wine and women, making mistakes, mistakes, and mistakes. Oh, how Alicent hated that. Her duty was her burden, but his was a blessing. Yet he refused to complete it.
''Why do we need their support anyway?'' she asked, turning her head to face her father.
''Pardon me?''
They were dining together after a long day in court. The table was breaking under the weight of various foods, but the Queen lost her hunger. She sighed, pushing her plate away. The weight of her son's irresponsibility hung heavy in the air, overshadowing any enjoyment she might have found in the lavish feast.
''The Tyrells. Why them over other noble houses?''
Her father leaned back in his chair, contemplating her question. ''Money, Alicent. They are the richest house in Westeros.''
Alicent raised an eyebrow, surprised by her father's response. ''Not Lannisters?''
''Lannisters have gold, sure, but Tyrells have people and an army. They handle harvests and have a lot of authority in court. It is risky to keep them uninvolved. Because then, they might change their mind. And we can't afford to have such a powerful house turn against us.''
''The girl does not own it, though. Her older sister does, and then her son. The girl's position is too low. Marrying her off to Aegon would not bring us any significant advantage. We need a stronger alliance to secure our position.''
''The girl's low position in the house hierarchy works in our favour. There is no power for her, just money and people. Her sister will support her and her forthcoming children, Aegon's children, but she will not be the trouble.''
''And what about Helaena? Who will she marry if Aegon is betrothed to Tyrell?"
Otto took a sip from the goblet of wine before responding, " Helaena is still too young to marry. We have time to consider all possibilities. Marrying Helaena off to a powerful ally could strengthen our position even further. Perhaps we should explore potential matches within the Dornish or Ironborn houses."
Alicent thought for a moment. She didn't want to send her only daughter so far away, but time is on her side. Mayhaps, there will be matches closer than Dorne. She pondered the possibility of arranging a marriage with a noble house in the Reach or the Stormlands, which would allow Helaena to remain closer to home. ''I guess it is true. Does Viserys know?''
''Not yet. I wanted to see the girl first, just to make sure. What does Mellos think of her?''
''Mellos believes she has potential. Her health is good, and most women in her house were known to bear many children,'' Alicent replied, considering her advisor's opinion.
''And what of her temper? Her father is not the most patient man alive.''
Alicent paused for a moment, carefully choosing her words. "Her temper is yet to be seen, but she has been raised in a noble house. Besides, she seemed complaisant enough to maintain a calm demeanour during our conversation. However, it is always wise to keep an eye on such matters.''
''We should arrange the meeting then. Have Aegon ready when the sun arises, and make sure he is not as drunk as a sailor. It would be prudent to have a few trusted guards nearby as well, just in case. We cannot afford any," Otto paused, ''any obscenities.''
Alicent sighed. ''May the Seven look upon us all.'' There was a lot to be done.
-
''Lord Hand! I did not expect you to visit me in the gardens.'' As Marcella closed her book and stood up, a smile played on her lips. She knew that Lord Hand's visits were never mere coincidences. Just as her father, who was now looking down at them from one of the balconies.
''I will not take too long, Lady Marcella. Should we take a walk?'' Lord Hand suggested, gesturing towards the winding paths of the garden.
''That sounds delightful, Lord Hand. The gardens are particularly beautiful this time of year."
''Yes. Not as beautiful as the Highgarden's one, but still pleasant, Otto replied, his eyes scanning the vibrant blooms that adorned the garden. ''Your father always had a keen eye for creating beauty,'' he added, a hint of nostalgia in his voice. ''Was your sleep pleasant?''
''Yes, Lord Hand. I am quite pleased with the new chambers; the view of the city is magnificent at dawn.''
''You wake up at sunrise?'' Otto questioned.
''It is hard not to, my Lord; once the city is awake, there is no luck to get a few beats of rest.''
A chuckle escaped the man's mouth. Tyrell's chambers were not the most pleasant in the Red Keep.
They walked in silence for a while until a few voices were heard behind the bushes. Marcella took a breath, careful not to look too nervous in front of Lord Hand. She straightened her gown as they approached the source of the voices, mindful not to stumble over the hem.
There he was, in the company of the Queen. Prince Aegon, the second of his name. The conquer of whores and wines, the great slayer of servants and bastards. His presence commanded attention, as his silver hair and violet eyes shone in the sunlight. The rumours of his reckless behaviour seemed to be true, as did the rumours about his unique beauty, which only Targaryens possessed.
''Your Majesty, my Prince,'' Marcella curtseyed. ''It is an honour to be in your presence.''
''As it is mine, lady,'' he trailed off, sending a pointing look at his grandsire.
''Lady Marcella of House Tyrell, my Prince.''
''Right.'' He wondered how he had not noticed her before, with that pretty face and a gown of some sort of forest green hugging her flesh. It is not his preferred look, it is true, but something about those eyes (and breasts) sparked interest in him. He quickly regained his composure and continued, "I must admit, Lady Marcella, your beauty is truly captivating. My grandsire sure has an eye for women."
Marcella felt heat travel to her face. ''Thank you, my Prince. House Tyrell takes great pride in our family's beauty and charm.'' She wanted to add how much she trusts his judgment since he is clearly an expert regarding women, but she held her tongue.
''Prince Aegon, why don't you show Lady Marcella more of our gardens? I am sure she would be more than glad to take a look at the fountains.''
"Me?", hesitated Aegon. Otto's eyes were now burning imaginary holes in his clothes. The Hand clearly showed that there was no backing away from this one.
''Yes. My duties await, I am afraid. Lady Marcella,'' Lord Otto nodded, ''I trust that Prince Aegon will be an excellent guide.''
Marcella was alone with him. Well, not alone; Ser Ywain was still holding guard near, eyeing Prince's every movement like a hawk.
"I guess I will," Aegon grumbled and dragged his feet down the stairs. ''There are quite a few of them, one near us. It's not the largest, although good enough.''
''I see.''
A silence settled between them.
''What do you think of Gransire's proposal?'' the Prince asked. ''To wed us, that is.''
Marcella hesitated, unsure of how to respond. She knew that her father worked hard to make this marriage possible, but the idea of marrying someone she barely knew made her sick. "You are a Prince, your Grace. Every woman in the Realm would be honoured to be your wife."
The Prince chuckled. ''Oh, yes. But I am asking you.''
Here. Her last chance of escape. Say no, and her father will have no choice but to accept defeat. Marcella looked at the windows above them. With a sigh, she replied, ''I would be more than content to marry you, my Prince.''
Her eyes met violet-purple ones for a mere second before the man turned away. ''Good.''
With that, her fate was sealed.

Someone will remember us
Chapter 86
Cw: mentions of violence, death , the usual
Taglist: @stargaryenx @mercedesdecorazon @aemondx @darylandbethfanforever9
Gif by @ashley-jones
Tumblr media
“The Citadel names the clash that followed the Battle of the Kingsroad. The men who fought it named it the Muddy Mess. By any name, the last battle of the Dance of the Dragons would prove to be a one-sided affair.”
---The Dying of the Dragons: The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II
While Vermithor would never replace Vhagar in his heart, Aemond had to admit the Bronze Fury flew like a dream.
Despite the rain, both dragon and rider managed to cut through Baratheon's ranks like butter.
Well, what was left of it anyway.
The Archers led by Black Aly decimated the horses and killed half the riders, those who managed to arrive near the shield wall were killed by Bloody Ben’s men.
Those who managed to escape the ensuing rout were met by a dragon hungry for violence.
“Mercy, King Aemond!” Baratheon’s remaining men cry when he dismounts after.
Baratheon is not dead yet, despite his injuries the bastard is alive enough to be brought forth to Aemond and Aemma who had come like a silver goddess on her silver mount to put the fear of the gods in those who surrender.
They fall to their knees for them, more for her because they remember Aemma as the merciful princess who shares Baratheon’s blood.
“Yield, my lord.” She asks gesturing for the Maesters to treat the injured.
The man refused to be treated, but the Maesters do so anyways going as far as removing his dented armor.
But he won’t yield, not when he knows he’s too far deep to get away with it. Had he not sided with Aegon to give Cass a crown, perhaps he could simply yield with minor repercussions.
“I’d sooner dance in hell than wear your chains.” The man said with a curse before taking his own dagger and plunging it into his stomach.
Seven days later, his second son, Olyvar Baratheon, is born.
Had the man had more sense, he would have lived to meet him.
A shame so many had to die for this.
Tumblr media
“They say he claimed Vermithor. They call him Jaehaerys Reborn.”
Every word and raven that comes after the Battle of the Kingsroad makes Corlys laugh like a madman.
Aegon would go against his own brother, the person he had believed would put him over his own wife.
By New Year’s Day, the rightful queen will sit on the Iron Throne and all this will end.
Word had come saying the last of his allies had changed their allegiance.
Lady Lannister would give her fealty in exchange for calling off Dalton Greyjoy, Lady Tyrell had her men take the remaining Hightowers into custody, Ser Tyland Lannister, Ser Marston Waters and Ser Julian Wormwood had all been captured by loyalists before they even left the bay.
Corlys did not need to bend the knee.
“Rhaenys, my love, just let me live long enough to see Laenor’s girl take what was meant to be yours.” Corlys prays to the only one being he ever had absolute faith in, his late wife.
It would not be long now, Corlys can feel the coldness of the Stranger in his bones. Either he will lose his head or whatever illness has taken root inside him will have him be burned with his ship.
He only asks that his remaining grandchildren get to be at peace when they have him join their parents and grandmother in the afterlife.
It is not much, but the Gods have never been generous anyways.
Tumblr media
Aemma knows that by this time tomorrow, it will be finally over.
It had stopped raining by the time they reached Hayford.
They are given the Lord’s rooms because Hayford’s only remaining family are a maiden aunt, a babe sharing a nursery with his three-year-old sister, Lyra, the heiress of Hayford.
“Tomorrow, I will fuck you so hard you will limp on your way to the throne.” Aemond gives a hoarse laugh. “Gods, I miss our bed.”
“I would rather sleep on the floor than sleep in Aegon’s bed.” Aemma said and added, “Remind me to have his shit burned when we get there.”
It’s over tomorrow with the dawn they fly into the city and finish it.
Tomorrow they will arrest Aegon or kill him.
Aemma doesn’t know why that is enough to have her roll out of the bed and spill this evening’s supper into the chamber pot.
“Another dream, love?” Aemond asks, brow creased with worry as he helped her back to bed.
“I think I may be with child again.” she answered shaking her head. “I wager it’s a girl.”
And sure enough, the Maester can confirm her pregnancy with a sample of her urine and some wine.
Man fancied himself a pisse prophet, claims to know how to read piss and congratulated them on another son.
Seven moons later the good maester will apologize for his mistake when Princess Aenya, or Aennie for short, is born.
Aenya who will bring Dorne into the Realms with the only blood being that of her maidenhead by marrying Prince Morgan Nymeros Martell, son of Aliandra Nymeros Martell.
But that is still too long in the future and these dreams Aemma has are quickly forgotten the next morning.
“Do you think he will surrender?” she asks Aemond who tightened the chains on her saddle with enough wiggle room for her to jump should she have to.
“There is only one way to find out.” His hands shakes and had he not been wearing gauntlets, she would have taken them in hers and kissed them in assurance.
When they fly into Kingslanding, there are no cheers like before.
There are frightened screams drowning out those who cheer for them.
They cry for mercy thinking she will burn them to the ground.
But they did not attack them, so that was a good omen.
They land in the courtyard, where Jaehaerys and Alysanne once did with these same dragons.
Larys Strong comes to them, bows as best as he can and reveals a dead Aegon whose face had turned purple from poison.
“And so, it ends.” Aemond whispers, trying not to look at his brother’s corpse with pity.
He has her grandfather who is not too bad from his stint in the black cells with a circlet once worn by Queen Rhaenys, then her good daughter, Queen Alyssa, and would have been worn by her daughter, Jocelyn Baratheon, when Prince Aemon ascended the Iron Throne.
A Valyrian steel circlet with seven rubies that matched Aegon the Conqueror’s Crown and had been returned by Princess Deria of Dorne on the orders of her father.
A simpler thing than that of Alysanne and Aemma Arryn and Alicent Hightower.
And a different legacy as well.
“The King is dead, Long Live the Queen.”
With those words, the Dance of the Dragons ends.
----
Next up: the epilogue
