Here we begin to see more of where Sky has been this time, I am trying my hand at multifandom, but i feel i explained it well. If you're going to start reading this please finish it before getting mad at me. Rhysand is starting shit.

This is a pro Tamlin, anti Rhysand self insert revenge fic. All characters belong to SJM, but she wasn't treating them right. Tam x reader, Tam x Rhysands Sister (OC), First person narrative. This will also reference Elucien and Neris in the future but we aren't there yet.

Tw: violence, blood.

Ch1

Ch 5 >>> Ch 7

Chapter 6:

After dinner in Adriata, I portaled Tamlin and I home to the foyer of the manor, him shouldering the bags of clothes I purchased from the shops in Summer. It wasn't terribly expensive, I have just always loved supporting the local shops in the towns I visit.

There came a knock at the door just as Tamlin was heading upstairs. “Oooh! Visitors!!” I said excitedly as I ran to the door. Tamlin trailed closely behind me, setting the bags on the ground, because, for a while there, visitors didn't necessarily mean good things.

Pure fear consumed my face as I opened the door to see my brother, standing there holding his breath, and Lucien. It took only a second for my brother to drop Lucien and winnow away. “No! Lucien!” I screamed as I caught him, falling forward into me. His face was beaten and bloodied and a dagger stuck out from his back. I sat down on the ground, holding his head to my chest. There was so much blood, and it was pooling around me.

“Lucien, Lucien, stay with me. You survived Baron and your brothers, you will survive this.” Tamlin was panicking. “What about that potion you gave me when you first got back?”

“He would need to be able to swallow it.” I cried, tears streaming down my face. With shaky hands I grabbed his knees and pulled them up to me. Cradling him in my arms. I looked Tamlin dead in the eyes, “Trust. Me.” and Lucien and I fell through a portal.

We landed, just outside of the gates of Darnassus. I was kneeling, still holding him up in a seated position while the rest of his weight laid on the cool cobblestone underneath us. If I could get him to this realm, I could revive him myself. He had eaten the food of Azeroth many times, albeit unknowingly, it should be enough to send his soul to the angel that guards the grave. I hope it's enough. “Are you still with me?” I asked, looking for any sign of life. The only other step was that he die, here. Death in Azeroth is not as permanent as it is in Prythia. It's still terrifying, but if you can find your corpse you can resurrect, and I brought him directly to the graveyard where his soul would go.

He let out a soft groan, blood still pooling on the ground. Good, he's barely there, but he's still alive. “Let go.” I whispered to him, my voice shaky, he was obviously just the catalyst used to send me a message.

As I felt his skin growing colder, I looked to the graveyard in front of me. “Come,” I called, “come back to your body, you will be okay.” I could never see the spirits unless I was one, I had hope that I wasn't too late. Tears streamed down as I buried my face in his cold chest. “Please come back.” I cried

“You dare bring a blood elf onto these lands?” The sentries that guard the gates noticed me and were drawing weapons. In my haste, I failed to register that Lucien, and hell even Tamlin, could be mistaken for a Blood elf, enemies of the Night elves, I just brought us to the place I called home for many years. While Night elf skin is more cool toned, they are associated with greens, blues and purples, Blood elf skin is more warm toned associated with red, yellows and oranges.

“He's not a blood elf.” I snapped as I pulled the dagger out of his back, immediately putting pressure on the open wound. Please leave me alone, this is already traumatic enough. “Lucien,” I looked toward the graveyard, “come back to your body.” Fuck, this has to work. It worked for me the first time I died.

“Get out of here or we will kill you too, traitor.”

Just then a familiar purple raven with dark sigils designed on its feathers nose dived straight for us. As he neared, he shifted back into an elf and positioned himself between me and the guards. “Leave the lady be, I will take it from here.” The guards bowed and returned to their stations.

“Thorin,” I breathed, happy to see him. “Can you resurrect him?” Thorin was a good friend of mine during my time in Azeroth that I, occasionally, had sex with. We had risen to King and Queen together before I left him to move onto the next adventure. He looked like the closest version of Tamlin a Night elf could be, long blonde hair, glowing fully green eyes, impeccable figure. What can I say? I have a type. Also, he was a druid, and druids could heal and resurrect.

“I will give it my best effort.” He began his spell and it stopped. My heart sank until Thorin spoke again “the motherfucker is still holding on.” There is too much blood, there is no way. Thorin shot a healing blast straight into Lucien's chest and Lucien woke up, inhaling heavily. The blast speeds up the healing process to almost instant.

“Where am I? What's going on?” Lucien asked, trying and failing to jump up as my arms were still around him.

“You're fine, this is Darnassus, I lived here for many years and this is my friend, Thorin. He saved your life.” I explained gently. There was still a lot of fear in Lucien's eyes as he took in his surroundings and the elf that stood before him. The vibrant purple sky and soft green moss resembled a healthy mix of the scenery in Night and Spring, while the massive trees surrounding us added a flair of Autumn. I turned to Thorin “thank you, your timing was amazing. I would love to stay and catch up but we really need to get back.”

He bowed his head slightly, “the pleasure is mine, I'm glad I heard you when I did. Don't be a stranger, come back and see us when life settles down for you.” He bent over to give me a kiss on the forehead and he shifted back into his raven form and was off.

I whispered to Lucien “we should get back before Tamlin destroys the manor again.”

“That's a terribly dark joke,” he laughed, still resting in my arms, head back and eyes closed, “I won't tell him you said that and we will be even.”

“Fair,” I giggled as we fell back through a portal home.

Tamlin was pacing just outside the manor as we returned, dashing over to us the second his gaze met mine. I held Lucien still, one arm supporting his neck, the other under his knees. “Walking is going to be painful for a day or two due to where the knife was, but he should make a full recovery.” I said as I passed him off to Tamlin. “Help him out of his bloodied clothes and into bed.”

Tamlin looked down at Lucien, still trailing in and out of consciousness, “He's alive? What happened? Where did you go?”

“Yes, my ex revived him, and Darnassus.” He knew when I kept my answers short like this, to not press further. “I am going to bathe this blood off me, and I just got this dress too, damnit Rhysand, always starting shit, just leave us alone….” I complained out loud as I walked away. I assume Tamlin did as I asked, I did my part, and I am tired.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I woke up the next morning, threw on one of my new dresses and headed to Lucien's room. I knocked “Lucien? Can I come in?”

“Come in,” I opened the door slowly and peeked in. He tried to get up, and I stopped him, sitting on the edge of his bed by his side.

“How are you feeling?”

“Groggy, weak.” He muttered, annoyed.

“That's to be expected, you died yesterday.” I reassured him softly. “I am truly sorry for what my brother did–”

“Don't pity me.” He snapped harshly, avoiding eye contact.

“Hah, this is far from pity. I am terrified of you. That much blood? For how long you held on? You are a tough one that's for sure, remind me to never get on your bad side.” I laughed and he tried to hide the smile forming on his lips. He was still holding onto that anger.

“Why? Why save me, you barely knew me?” He accused.

“Because you matter.” My tone was flat. My intention was not to flatter him, but to actually convince him. “Your value does not reside in how you can be of use to me, Lucien. You do not need to suffer for me to see you as a person whose right to life I respect.” His glare softened slightly, seeming to almost believe me. “What would you like for breakfast? I'll bring it up to you.”

“Just some fruit and maybe some water would be nice.” He whispered.

“Okay, I'll be right back” I pushed his hair out of his face and gave him a kiss on the forehead. “Door, open or shut?”

“You can leave it cracked.”

I returned moments later with a tray of mixed fruit and a couple glasses of water. He sat up as I placed the tray on his lap, sitting down next to him. “What happened when you returned to Night?”

Lucien sighed. “Rhysand initially sent me, ordered me, here to convince you to come back with me. I have been at his mercy since leaving Spring, and he figured the curse you put on him wouldn't apply to me since you didn't know of me. What I didn't expect was to return to a rebuilt manor and a Tamlin that not only welcomed me back with open arms, but also an apology. Spring has always been my home, until it wasn't, but after the day I spent with you and him, I felt like I got it back. I returned to Night to tell him that you had no interest in returning and I wouldn't be the one to force you. And, well, your brother doesn't like to be told he can't have what he wants.”

“If you had truly come to Spring with the intention of harm at my brother's behest, the curse would, most definitely, apply to you.” I clarified. “I don't believe you have it in your heart to ever really betray Tamlin.”

“I didn't, and even now it looks as though I owe Spring another life debt.” Lucien sighed.

“You owe me nothing, Lucien. I am not keeping score. That dagger was buried in your back because you stood up for me. You did the right thing and risked your life for someone you barely knew,” I reassured. “I would like to request that you stay here, or at least stay away from the Night court entirely. They believe you to be dead, and we can use that to our advantage later.” A small lie, but Lucien is too proud for his own good, so I knew I had a better chance of convincing him if he thought it to be strategy instead of worry.

“I understand, I would like to remain here, at least until I regain my strength, but I don't want to be treated like a fragile child.” Lucien pressed.

“That is fair, and while I do not, could not, see you as a child in any capacity, I can understand that my kindness may translate that way at times. Just let me know when it is too much and I will back off. Deal?”

“Deal.” He sighed.

I bid him farewell and left the room to allow him to rest. Tamlin was waiting out in the hall.

“How's he doing?”

“Better, he should be well enough to join us for dinner. But I fear I may have to face my brother sooner than I wanted to. It looks like he is going to keep leaving us these grotesque gifts until I hear him out.” I replied calmly as we made our way to the kitchen.

“I don't like the idea of you going there alone. I will be worried sick the entire time. Everyone I care about that has left for Night, has come back in pieces.” Tamlin admitted sternly.

“I need you to trust that I will be fine. His wards have no effect on my portals, no one in Prythia has any understanding of how they work or how to hinder them. I am no longer affected by ash or bloodbane. I will be okay. I promise. I need you here.”

“That's not going to stop me from worrying. Someone needs to protect you.”

I stopped walking and he turned to me. I relaxed the tension I held in my shoulders and looked up at him with a pout on my lips. I knew damn well I was powerful enough to take every High Lord in Prythia with one hand tied behind my back after taking six shots of pure bloodbane. But, I didn't have to fight anymore. I wouldn't have to. He wanted to protect me. Someone wanted to keep me safe. This is all I've wanted. He pulled me into his chest and I whispered, “Then come with me.”

Note

I’ve git inspired by the hp anon: what are your favorite acotar ships? or any ship you do not like at all as well!

OK LETS GET INTO IT! I’ll try and briefly explain why as well. When I say I “like” a ship, I mean that I actively seek content for it or would rb it if it came up on my dash.

SHIPS I LIKE:

- Neris: We all know my feelings on this one! This is what should have been.

- Nezriel: Didn’t quite get it until I read Nesta vs the Buffer by ladyofbloodshed, but it really does work. At the end of the day I want Nesta to be cared for and protected as she heals, and canon Cassian wasn’t doing it.

- Azris: They are both SO messed up but they’d be a power couple.

- Gwynlain: This is just a good wholesome ship. Every time I see art of them I’m reblogging it, but I haven’t read any fics of them.

- Tamsand: Childhood friends to lovers to enemies… need I say more?

- Rhysta: This is the wokest acotar ship, and they would be SO TOXIC but in a sexy way.

- Tamcien: They were living together for a long time, you can’t convince me it didn’t happen at least once. There is also clearly a lot of love between them, at least in TAR.

- Elucien: This pairing has so much potential it’s insane… not even just in terms of the characters just where the plot can take them (Autumn, Day, and beyond). If I don’t get to read Lucien as a love interest in canon, I’m done with these books fr

- Helion x LoA: I just want her to be happy 😭

- Lucnes: They would help each other heal, they have SO MUCH in common. SJM was wrong when she said they would tear each other apart!!

- Nesta x The Mercenary: This ship embodies what I like about nessian, but gay. We need to let Nesta be an intellectual with a muscular guard dog type character.

- Emerie x Balthazar: I love Balthazar and he needs to be brought back. I’m also intrigued by the idea of a ship that is between two Illyrians like maybe we can finally get a nuanced view of their culture.

- Gwynriel: Azriel is a total mess so he needs to shape up before he’s deserving of Gwyn, but the potential here is crazy.

- Neslin: Two deeply flawed and broken people. I like the idea of Nesta finding refuge in Spring, and helping Tam rebuild his court. She has a flair for politics that Feyre doesn’t, and from her upbringing would know how to conduct herself as a noblewoman.

- Nesta x Mor: I know I don’t like Mor, but this would be hot. Both of them would soften up as soon as they got to know each other more.

- Cassian x Rhys: Another one where you can’t tell me this didn’t happen at least once.

- Elriel: I came around to this one recently. Do I like it as much as elucien? No, but the forbidden aspect does appeal to me.

- Nesta x Jurian: thank you ladyofbloodshed for putting this in my brain. It’s just so… 🥰🥰

SHIPS I EITHER DISLIKE OR HAVE COMPLEX FEELINGS ABOUT

- Canon Nessian: i mean where do I even begin with this… ACOSF has been discussed to death. However I do indulge in some nessian fanfic from time to time, and the talented people on here know how to correct the dynamic so it’s something we can all enjoy.

- Feysand: I was all in on feysand until the baby thing happened in SF. However, there is really good feysand fanfic out there that I will read from time to time.

- Emorie: Mor is really not my favorite character, I can’t lie. However, I could come around to this if I read a good fic or if we get a sympathetic storyline from her in a future book.

- Feycien: Idk, this just doesn’t work for me. I can’t explain why I’m not feeling it, but I’m not.

- Feylin: I see why people loved it in TAR, but it’s not something I will seek out bc it’s just been nuked so much by canon. I prefer them with other people.

- Tamlain: Their personalities would not work together. I’m also too elucien brained to even consider this.

- Amren x Varian: After Amren and Nesta fell out, I was not vibing with her. But even beyond that, this pairing makes no sense.

- Moriel or Mor x Cassian: NO. JUST NO.

- Lucien x Vassa: I don’t like ships where one party is mortal, especially with Lucien bc he has been through enough as it is.

My favorite acotar characters are Lucien and Elain (They're basically the main characters of my Ao3 account tbh)

I love Nesta and Eris, separately or together (Neris should have been endgame and I will die on this hill)

I love the Valkyries, Gwyn is my baby and Emerie reminds me so much of my best friend <3

Elucien all the way, as previously stated they're the main characters of my Ao3 account.

I'm generally anti-IC, and Azriel's always kinda given me the creeps. The bonus chapter in ACOSF just made it worse.

I do believe in Vanserra supremacy and Pro-Tamlin. Both of these stances are very obvious in my fics lol

I much prefer ToG to Acotar despite not getting into it until after I read Acowar. Lorcan and Chaol are my favorite characters. I love Fenrys. And while I also love Manon and Dorian I don't think they have any romantic chemistry.

I like Rowaelin, they had a really rough start but it's one of the only instances where the 'enemies' label in these 'enemy to lovers' stories actually felt like enemies as opposed to just not liking each other.

ToD is my favorite ToG book, full stop.

I'm fairly neutral on Aedion, I think he just wasn't in the spotlight enough for me to really have an opinion on him.

I have also "read" CC. Quotes because those books are massive so I just listened to the audiobooks while I was at work. With headphones for obvious reasons.

Ruhn isn't really my favorite but I like him and he and Lidia are cute together.

I really like Quinlar, I'm very nervous about what is going to happen to them.

I like the frat guys as a group but I'll be real I usually can't remember their individual names ^^"

I'm not a huge fan of the crossover, it feels like a way to convince more of SJM's readers to get into CC to me.

Cadre

Frat boys

Bat boys (but only because they have to be on the list)

I hope I didn't miss anything, I had to reopen this post on my computer so I could get everything down lol

Help me analyze Lulu lovers

Is Lucien Vanserra your #1 favorite character in ACOTAR? If yes, then… Do you ALSO gravitate to Eris Vanserra? If yes, then… Are you ALSO a Nesta apologist? If yes, then… Do you love the Valkyries? If yes, then… Are you an elucien truther? If yes, then…

Are you Pro-Ic, Anti-Ic, or neutral? Like or dislike Azriel (AS written, not fanon)? Is there one particular member of the IC you like or do you simply believe in Vanserra supremacy? Are you Pro-Tamlin, Anti-Tamlin, or neutral? Have you read TOG? If yes, then… Do you like Fenrys? If yes, then… Do you like Dorian? If yes, then… Do you like Chaol? If yes, then… Do you like Lorcan? If yes, then… Do you like Manon? If yes, then…

What is your opinion on Rowaelin? What about Tower of Dawn? Pro or anti Aedion? Did you find TOG better or ACOTAR? Have you read CC? If yes, then… Is Ruhn Danaan your favorite character? If yes, then… Do you like Lidia Cervos? If yes, then… Do you like quinlar? If yes, then… What about the frat boys? Yah or nah? What is your opinion on Bryce ending up in Prythian? Do you want a full on crossover in CC3 or just Bryce surviving in Prythian alone for a little while? Last question: rank the following from your favorite to least favorite: frat boys, bat boys, cadre If you’re a Lucien fan, please reply or reblog with your answers! I’m trying to find the pattern between all Lucien fans lol; I’ll explain more later.

Note

I was struck by your idea that there may be a Jonsa political marriage in TWOW or early in ADOS because I could NOT figure out why they made all those parallels between them and Ned/Cat in the show without addressing it. But, your idea worries me because in s7 they compared J/D to Rhaegar/Lyanna, and while I can't imagine Jon being unfaithful, Dany falling in love with Jon was what brought her North. So how does that/the love triangle we saw on the show play out if Jonsa is already married?

Hello @esther-dot! First of all thank you for your ask, people don’t ask me anything usually so your ask made me really happy.

I wrote a long answer I guess, sorry :

First let me say that: I think we are giving too much credit to show. After S4 the show kind of stopped following the books. I mean look at the S5 Ramsay/Sansa nonsense. D&D made it clear that GRRM gave them some important scenes for them to work with so I see the show as a slide-show of some scenes from books tbh. For example the arrival of the Knights of the Vale was sth you can find the hints of it in the books. Or the trial and death of Baelish by the hand of Sansa. Even the death of Daenerys was foreshadowed in the books. But the plots to get to those scenes were all D&D if you ask me. So they had to fill the gaps and they did it how they wanted.

At this point I really can’t see a version of Asoiaf without a jonsa plot. Jonsa is the most foreshadowed plot in the books. The hints are starting in the prologue of the AGOT and they keep going in the AFFC and ADWD, and you can even find hints in other books of GRRM. Jonsa foreshadowings are surrounded by marriage and children imagery. So not having a jonsa marriage or kids seems unlikely to me.

I am looking at the j*nerys foreshadowings and they are all about them being enemies. For example these two chapters that follow each other:

“No. Dany shivered. No, no, oh no.“Are you deaf, fool?” Reznak mo Reznak demanded of the man. “Did you not hear my pronouncement? See my factors on the morrow, and you shall be paid for your sheep.” “Reznak,” Ser Barristan said quietly, “hold your tongue and open your eyes. Those are no sheep bones.” No, Dany thought, those are the bones of a child.”

[A Dance with Dragons; Daenerys]

Burning dead children had ceased to trouble Jon Snow; live ones were another matter. Two kings to wake the dragon. The father first and then the son, so both die kings. The words had been murmured by one of the queen’s men as Maester Aemon had cleaned his wounds. Jon had tried to dismiss them as his fever talking. Aemon had demurred. “There is power in a king’s blood,” the old maester had warned, “and better men than Stannis have done worse things than this.” The king can be harsh and unforgiving, aye, but a babe still on the breast? Only a monster would give a living child to the flames.

[A Dance with Dragons; Jon]

***

The next morning Xaro’s galleas was gone, but the “gift” that he had brought her remained behind in Slaver’s Bay. Long red streamers flew from the masts of the thirteen Qartheen galleys, writhing in the wind. And when Daenerys descended to hold court, a messenger from the ships awaited her. He spoke no word but laid at her feet a black satin pillow, upon which rested a single bloodstained glove. “What is this?” Skahaz demanded. “A bloody glove …” “… means war,” said the queen.

[A Dance with Dragons; Daenerys]

As they did their count, Jon peeled the glove off his left hand and touched the nearest haunch of venison. He could feel his fingers sticking, and when he pulled them back he lost a bit of skin. His fingertips were numb. What did you expect? There’s a mountain of ice above your head, more tons than even Bowen Marsh could count. Even so, the room felt colder than it should.“It is worse than I feared, my lord,” Marsh announced when he was done. He sounded gloomier than Dolorous Edd.Jon had just been thinking that all the meat in the world surrounded them. You know nothing, Jon Snow. “How so? This seems a deal of food to me.”

[A Dance with Dragons; Jon]

***

Dizzy, Dany closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she glimpsed the Meereenese beneath her through a haze of tears and dust, pouring up the steps and out into the streets.The lash was still in her hand. She flicked it against Drogon’s neck and cried, “Higher!” Her other hand clutched at his scales, her fingers scrabbling for purchase. Drogon’s wide black wings beat the air. Dany could feel the heat of him between her thighs. Her heart felt as if it were about to burst. Yes, she thought, yes, now, now, do it, do it, take me, take me, FLY!”

[A Dance with Dragons; Daenerys]

Jon clasped the offered hand. The words of his oath rang through his head. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.

[A Dance with Dragons; Jon]

***

I really try to see some romantic hints in those but I can’t find them. So why did D&D choose to do j*nerys instead of jonsa? Let’s face it: Their main audience are locals and Dany lovers. People were waiting them to bang... (ew). And when he was asked about Grrm’s intentions about Jon and Dany, Alan Taylor (director) said that he can’t tell what Grrm said because it is a S8 twist. So even the most j*nerys shipper director couldn’t confirm that j*nerys was sth Grrm told them about. What Grrm told them was a S8 twist, which turned out to be Jon killing Daenerys. I bet they chose the route of a romance instead of them being enemies (Dance of Dragons 2.0 ?!?!?!) so they could shock the audience with the final twist (a poor choice i must say).

So what I am trying to say is that: j*nerys is probably not a book thing. Or at least it can only be one sided in the books. Look at the S7-8 Jon Snow.. they made him so OOC to be in love with Dany... I am sure that Book!Jon won’t be in love with Dany. To be fair, I even can’t see Jon in Dragonstone or etc. Traveling during a White Walker threat is not a good idea. He won’t have such a time to go to DS and fall in love with someone like Dany. Dany is a combination of Cersei, Joffrey, Stannis, Selyse and Melisandre... Can you imagine Jon falling for those? No I don’t think so. I mean there is even dragon glass in Skagos... why would he bother to go DS? And we know that Dragons don’t like North and I can’t image using the fire threat to beat the ice threat... So her dragons won’t be the main forces against the Others.

I tried to explain why Show!J*nerys was so forced to please the audience and how it was a fan service plot. But still an one-sided j*nerys can happen in the books. There are more foreshowings for this tbh. I am imaging an Aerys-Joanna-Tywin kind of triangle in the books.

I mean look at this: (I have examined the Jon chapters that follow Dany ones in the ADWD and there were some interesting things. Maybe i’ll write a meta about them one day but for now let’s focus on one hint that I found interesting)

“I want to know. I never knew my father. I want to know everything about him. The good and … the rest.” “As you command.” The white knight chose his words with care. “Prince Aerys … as a youth, he was taken with a certain lady of Casterly Rock, a cousin of Tywin Lannister. When she and Tywin wed, your father drank too much wine at the wedding feast and was heard to say that it was a great pity that the lord’s right to the first night had been abolished. A drunken jape, no more, but Tywin Lannister was not a man to forget such words, or the … the liberties your father took during the bedding.” His face reddened. “I have said too much, Your Grace. I—”

[...]

How beautiful, the queen tried to tell herself, but inside her was some foolish little girl who could not help but look about for Daario. If he loved you, he would come and carry you off at swordpoint, as Rhaegar carried off his northern girl, the girl in her insisted, but the queen knew that was folly.

[A Dance with Dragons; Daenerys]

This is Daenerys’ wedding chapter and she learns about her father’s jealousy about Tywin and Joanna’s marriage.

And bonus: she also wishes that Daario to take her away like Rhaegar did with his Stark lady. So in her wedding chapter she mentions the love between a Targaryen prince and a Stark lady.

But she also knows that no one is coming for her.

And Jon chapter follows this chapter. And he talks about: his dislike for Selyse and Melisandre, kinslaying, daggers in dark, the grey girl. So he won’t like Daenerys either, kinslaying is an important hint (both for Dany-Viserys and Jon-Daenerys) and I bet that Grey Girl is Sansa.

Now we know that Dany is Aerys 2.0 with dragons and she will end what her father has started by burning down KL. So in this triangle Dany is Aerys.

And who are Joanna and Tywin?

The first J+T pair she’ll meet will be Aegon and Arianna probably. They are cousins too and Aegon chose not to be just a consort to his aunt by marrying her, so he’ll probably choose Arianne to gain Dorne’s support. I always consider Aegon (fake or not) and Arianne as a warning for Daenerys about Jonsa. Aegon has parallels with Sansa and Jon (secret identity with different hair color and secret Targ parentage etc). And Arianne has parallels with Sansa (The girl in the tower trope). So those two will be a test for Daenerys before she meets with Jon and Sansa. But her main test will be with Jonsa.

Jonsa fit into Joanna/Tywin pair more. They are cousins and they grew up together and after them being reunited they will be very important for each other.

And let’s not forget about the fact that Tywin was the Hand of Aerys and he betrayed him and his son Jaime killed Aerys in the throne room... We are all aware of the parallels between Jaime and Jon already. But Jon was also her adviser and she wanted to rule the 7K with him. But in the end he betrayed her. I believe that Jon’s Ygritte arc might be useful for him to lure Dany into some false trust. But him sleeping with her and loving her and later lose her in his arms sounds like a cheap copy of Ygritte/Jon plot and it makes no sense.

I think Dany will be taken with him and he’ll use this but it doesn’t mean that they will be lovers. Because it seems like Grrm is going to use RLJ in Jon’s romantic life (like he planned in the original/first outline with Jon-Arya romance). And RLJ has no effect on j*nerys. They can still f*ck and marry...

I mean Grrm even put an uncle-niece marriage (Jonnel-Sansa Stark!!) in the Stark family tree to show that Starks have no problem with marrying with their uncles/aunts etc. Grrm only considers the marriages between siblings and parent-children as incest. So j*nerys is not a doomed love. But for jonsa; RLJ makes everything smooth. Therefore RLJ must be used in jonsa plot.

So Dany is the Aerys of the triangle and no Targaryen prince will come for her because they are busy with their Stark ladies. (Rhaegar- Lyanna and also maybe Jacaerys and Sara Snow?)

To explain the early Jonsa political marriage, I must say that I was inspired by the Grand Northern Conspiracy. According to this theory, Howland Reed is the keeper of Robb’s Will about Jon and he is also the one who knows about RLJ.

It does not go north with Galbart Glover and Maege Mormont, who expressly carry false letters, and is often feared lost at the Twins in the chaos following the Red Wedding. Another possibility, however, is that the document was secreted away in Hag’s Mire and has now been retrieved by Lady Stoneheart. Who in turn, for a real kicker of an ironic twist, delivers the suspected proof of Jon’s kingship to Greywater Watch for safekeeping, care of Howland Reed, who then knows more of the crowns Jon’s entitled to than any other man living in the world of ASOIAF.

https://zincpiccalilli.tumblr.com/post/52748381148

Let’s accept this theory and say that Howland has the Will. Without his proof other lords can’t just announce Jon as the KITN. I believe that Howland will be present at Winterfell to show the Will. But Howland was also a friend of Ned Stark. And he is loyal to House Stark. He kept RLJ as secret for years to protect the Starks and Jon from Robert’s wrath. But Robert is dead and he has no reason to keep this secret anymore. And I can’t imagine him sitting quietly while other lords declare Jon as the King while a true born Stark (Sansa) is sitting right there. He wouldn’t betray Ned’s memory like that. So he’ll spill the tea with RLJ too. And after that maybe Sansa will finally have some agency for her choice of husband. So them together will be the one answer of North’s all wishes.

And let’s not forget that GRRM said he knows which characters will end up married. But in the show there was no marriage. So I am still waiting a marriage.

And even with an early Jonsa marriage, Jon and Dany might still meet. Imagine S7 with a married Jonsa. Jon leaves Sansa to fight a battle. It would be a great parallel with NedCat. Ned left Cat while she was pregnant to go to war. And maybe there will be rumors about Jon and Dragon Queen just like how Ned betrayed Cat. But like Ned, Jon would be loyal to Sansa and North too in truth.

Maybe Jon will gain Dany’s trust and help her against Aegon. And return she’ll accept to help North. But in the end I don’t think that Dany will come/or stay in North. Also in the Jon chapter that comes after Dany one, Jon was warned against Dragons:

“Salladhor Saan?” “The Lysene pirate? Some say he has returned to his old haunts, this is so. And Lord Redwyne’s war fleet creeps through the Broken Arm as well. On its way home, no doubt. But these men and their ships are well-known to us. No, these other sails … from farther east, perhaps … one hears queer talk of dragons.” “Would that we had one here. A dragon might warm things up a bit.” “My lord jests. You will forgive me if I do not laugh. We Braavosi are descended from those who fled Valyria and the wroth of its dragonlords. We do not jape of dragons.” No, I suppose not. “My apologies, Lord Tycho.”

[A Dance with Dragons; Jon]

Maybe Dany will want sth more from Jon and will be jealous of Jon and Sansa just like her father was jealous of Tywin and Joanna. Maybe Jon will betray her in most unexpected time just like Tywin betrayed Aerys.

Btw I am still waiting for a battle between Daenerys and Jon in Trident after he betrayed Dany. (You know Dany dreamed about a fighting against an usurper in ice armor in Trident... Jon will be the Usurper because he’ll be the King of North and Dany will see North as a part of her Kingdom.)

So my timeline would be like this:

- Jon and Sansa reunite and take North back

- The Will and RLJ happen and they unite their claims by marriage

- A dance between Aegon and Daenerys and she loses a dragon

- Jon gains her trust only to use her and pacify her to protect the North during the Dance

- Him refusing the bend the knee and them becoming enemies

- Daenerys loses one of her dragons

- Daenerys and Euron being a chaotic duo for Westeros

- Daenerys burns down KL and marches to North for revenge

- North (aka Jon) vs Daenerys in Trident

- Daenerys dies and Drogon gets hurt

- Jon refusing the throne so he can go back to North (the Duncan of Dragonflies jumped out)

- Bran becomes King

- Jon returns North to fight against the Others etc. (I refuse believe that he’ll be punished and sent back to Wall? Grrm literally has to kill him to free him from Night’s Watch so I don’t see him returning there)

- Epiloge.

***

Well I talked too much about too many things but I hope my answer was not such a bullsh*t :)

Thanks again for the ask. Let me know your thoughts.

Cardassians

Main memory of this episode: Garak gets bit

Also a Cardassian child is indoctrinated to hate Cardassians. I don't know how to feel about this, bc I think it's a clear metaphor for Native children being stripped of and raised to hate their own culture by colonizers, but I think this is one of the cases of "What if it happened the reverse way?" is offensive, bc it places colonizers (Cardassians) as the victims and also lowkey implies that this is just something that happens when raised in another society? Which A, no, and not a great message for Star Trek, and B, hating colonizers is incredibly fucking different from hating other people who just exist. Of course, this is all just based on my memory of the episode, I haven't even actually started it yet, and hopefully the actual episode has some nuance to it. Regardless, I think this is another episode that would best be analyzed by a Native person from a colonized country and not me, a random white American, so feel free to tell me if I am uneducated or approaching this the wrong way

Watermelon outfit!

Julian being sensitive to smells? Autistic!Julian rights!

The people in the background's hats made me think they had heads like hammerhead sharks for a second and I was so disappointed that they're just hats

Gay bitches

What the fuck is this man wearing?

Garak, don't touch a stranger's child without their consent and comment on how handsome the kid is

Get bit, bitch!

Do you really need to clarify "Garak, the tailor?" Everyone here knows who you're talking about, especially since you ran into ops last season excitedly telling everyone he hit on you

Love that Jadzia doesn't care about Garak being bit and just makes fun of it

Is Garak actually a bad tailor?

How did Dukat find out about this?

Also, why does he care? He hates Garak

Y'all are the ones who abandoned them, of course they're bitter

Which is another reason this doesn't work as a metaphor for residential schools, bc those kids were largely kidnapped or otherwise forced away from their families by the people teaching them to hate their families; not intentionally abandoned

"Poor Garak, an amiable man if ever there was one." Bitch??!??!?! BITCH???!?!?

Again, Garak touched a strange child without his consent. It makes perfect sense the kid bit him

Okay, badly dressed dude's accusations are cause for investigate

Listen, I get trusting Keiko, but Miles is a known space racist. Why would you place a kid you think is being abused bc of his race with a racist?

Does Garak really still need medical treatment? It's just a bite

Maybe I am wrong about what this episode is a metaphor for

Everyone being like "Julain, what the fuck are you doing talking to him?"

Nerys, however, looks delighted

It's Garak's hand, Miles, who cares if it's bitten off?

Get his ass, Keiko!

I didn't realize Bajorans prayed before meals

You could have asked the kid what he likes to eat, Keiko

It's replicated food, it's not like it has to go to waste. Just recycle it and order something different?

It's interesting that it seems to be the norm for everyone to eat the same food when it's all replicated as individual portions

Why is spanking normalized in the Federation???

Maybe it's more about internalized racism in general than specifically Natives? But again, considering he's a member of the colonizing race, it feels like a reverse racism thing. I can't begrudge Bajorans for teaching the truth about what Cardassia did to them

Julian has a surprisingly chill reaction to Garak watching him sleep

Elim Cullen

I know that the Federation isn't capitalist, but Benjamin deserves a raise for having to put up with Julian's Garak bullshit

I know all the captains get made fun of for space skyping people in their pajamas, but it's especially hilarious that Benjamin does it with his mortal enemy

Interesting that Cardassia's "renowned" filing and record keeping system is something that comes up on multiple occasions

Garak, when would you have met members of the Bajoran underground? Where exactly was Garak during the Occupation?

Of course he knows how to fix computers, Julian, he's a member of a species that apparently wants to be interstellarly known for their filing systems

Bi bitch

Garak looks so terrified of these kids

Oh, Julian being upset by parents using and neglecting their children...

Keiko, if the kid is trying to back away from an adult he's clearly scared of, maybe don't hold him in place

Sorry about your wife and thinking that you lost your kid dude, but Rugal's right that it wouldn't have happened if you weren't a colonizer

Dukat's really been planning this for 8 years?

Where's that post about Julian interrupting the dad convention?

Dukat looks like he's about to murder Julian

Julian is so pleased with himself

I don't know how to feel about Rugal going back to Cardassia

Hmm. The Garak-Dukat rivalry hits different after Andy saying they fucked

I honestly don't feel qualified to rate this episode

dear creator: femslashex 2k20 edition

Hi, Hello, Hey. First of all–thank you! This is my standard you offered to write one of my fandoms, so thank you for being awesome opening spiel, full of generals likes and dislikes, I’m sure you know the drill. I’ll make sure the fandom specific stuff is up by the time assignments go out. (That said, if you already have an idea about how you want to write about the fandom/pairing we match on—wow, I’m jealous! tell me your secrets!—just skip over the fandom stuff and go forth with your bad self.)

Things I like include, but are in no way limited to: fun with POV, fun with linear vs. non-linear storytelling, fun with tone, fun with writing. I really dig character studies, stories that really get into what makes a character tick (and something porny that can get at that is wonderful too), and I like relationships that are hard and prickly and worth fighting for. I like happy endings that don’t feel tacked on or forced. I like doubt, and hope, and theology; I like actors, and directors, and I like the random deity. I like fairy tales. I like (love) romance tropes. Forced to share a bed, marriages of convenience, fake dating, friends-to-lovers, idiots-to-lovers, enemies-to-lovers: it’s all like unto catnip. I like interesting turns of phrase, I like the perfect line, I like any story written just for me. If you have any questions about my taste (or lack thereof), feel free to ask @summervillen who probably knows my fannish tastes better than I do.

DNWs: noncon, necrophilia, pedophilia, incest, animal harm or death, child harm or death, pregnancy fic, A/B/O. Things that I would prefer you not include—especially gratuitously; there are obviously ways to engage with problematic actions/thoughts/etc. in fiction, but there’s such a fine line there—are as follows: non-character driven racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-semitism, etc. etc. etc. I’d prefer no high school AUs. I also have a pretty big embarrassment squick. And while I'm mostly interested in these characters in the worlds in which we meet them, if you really have an AU (non high school division) you want to write I'm there. Just, you know, grounded in the characters and their relationships and all that fun stuff. That's basically it.

Babylon 5 Delenn/Susan Ivanova I just ship them post-canon so hard. Later in life chances at love are sort of a thing of mine, and add to that two of my favorite characters ever, well, it’s like this pairing is made for me. That said, if you can find a way to write them during canon (maybe John doesn’t return from Z'ha'dum, maybe Delenn and John just never get together at all, maybe you can think of something I can’t) I’d love that too. Delenn/Shaal Mayan I’d love a story about them that’s really Minbari–that understands that neither of them is human. Something set when they were young and just figuring themselves out (and first love is rarely forever but it feels like it must be) or something set when Mayan visits Babylon 5 in season one or, heck, something set after the series ends. (I have a thing for writing on skin, so if you can find a way to fit that in more power to you.)

Last Tango in Halifax Gillian Greenwood/Caroline McKenzie-Dawson Oh gosh I have so many feelings about Gillian and Caroline and their relationship. How it’s grown, changed, and now they’re at a point where they see each other all the time and talk about basically everything and it’s all so beautiful. And, I mean, come on, they both have the best chemistry with the other; it’s just a fact. So what if they get drunk and kiss (or shag or something in between)? Or just deal with things like adults (I’m sure you could convince me that’s possible)? (She wasn’t part of the tagset, but I also liked what little we saw of Olga, both how she interacted with Caroline and how she befriended Gillian when they both showed up late to the play, so if you want to go the threesome route–whether it’s a V or a triad or whatever confusing mess of emotions you prefer–I’m there.) (P.S. I haven’t seen the most recent season, but I’m spoiled and have seen all the gifs and screencaps so include or don’t as you see fit.)

Lucifer Linda Martin/Mazikeen

Their relationship on the show is a thing of delight and wonder, so basically I want that but also MORE. Maze fighting people to protect Linda! Linda, well, trying to fight people but mostly realizing that Maze loves it and is good at it so. Maze panicking again about Linda eventually dying, but also MORE SO because now they’ve been fucking and also having weird candlelight dinners and um is this romantic this might be. (Whether Amenadiel is involved (romantically with either or both, as an active parent but no longer romantically, etc.) or off doing something else stage left and never mentioned is up to you, but please no bashing, killing off somehow, etc.) Feel free to include hijinks with the rest of the gang, but I’d prefer no focus on any police work.

The Old Guard (Movie) Andy/Quynh

Note: I haven’t read the comics, so this is strictly a movie request (I know they’re separate fandoms and listed thusly, but I just wanted to be clear). I’d love anything about them, in all honesty. Something in the past: a first time (they kissed, they said “I love you,” they refused to say “I love you,” they had sex, etc.), a fifth time, a mission gone wrong. Or something in the present/future: angst and fractured trust and fighting on opposite sides until they’re suddenly not. All too mortal Andy. Immortal Quynh. The options are basically endless. I also love everyone on the team, so feel free to include them however you see fit.

Star Trek: Classic Timeline

First of all, I don’t know book canon, so include it, don’t include, whatever floats your proverbial boat. Second of all, I am more than happy with “this character lives” stories here. Obviously. Third of all, please no bashing of any other characters (even that one).

Beverly Crusher/Laris

So I came out of Picard with an undying devotion to Laris and a burning curiosity about what the heck Bev is up to these days. So tell me more about both of them. Is there’s a longstanding affair, often at a distance? Did they start out prickly and reserved, wary? How are Jean-Luc and Zhaban involved? (I am happy with whatever you decide on the Jean-Luc and Zhaban front, other than gratuitous death or bashing of either. Feel free to have them off having their own adventures and don’t mention them if you prefer not to involve them.) Is Beverly’s French as terrible as Jean-Luc’s?

Kimara Cretak/Kira Nerys

Feel free to have Kimara escape/live/etc. I’d especially love something that recognizes that neither of them is human; play around with what we know of their cultures, about how those cultures might clash or unexpectedly mesh, how that can affect a relationship both positively and negatively. I’m always interested in Nerys’s faith and religious beliefs, and how that interacts with Romulan culture would be very much something I enjoy.

K'Ehlyer/Deanna Troi

K’Ehlyer deserved better, and who is better than Deanna? I posit no one. This is another pairing where I’d love something about the fact that they’re not fully human and the implications thereof. (Feel free to include Alexander or not, as you choose. Ditto Thaddeus and Kestra. I’d prefer they not be a focal point though.) Whether you set it during TNG or Picard or in between, I’ll be equally happy (or an alternate version of reality works too! those are just the time references I can think of right now!). (Please note that I very much also ship Deanna and Will, so please, please, please don’t bash him or kill him off for no reason or have Deanna cheating on him or whatever. I’d much rather you don’t mention him at all if you don’t want him in the fic.)

The Untamed Jiang Yanli/Wen Qing

Is part of this my desire to have two of my favorite characters pushed together? Yes. Is it also part of my desire to have them actually live? Absolutely. (Which is to say: I’d love a “Jiang Yanli and Wen Qing live” AU here. Or at least live longer than they make it in canon?) I’d also be fine with modern AUs here, but I’d prefer cultivation be in there somewhere even if it’s set in the present (or the 1980s or basically any time period). Maybe there’s a political partnership of convenience situation! Maybe something shifts in canon and Jiang Yanli helps the Qishan Wens out and things happen and trust grows and they fall in love! Maybe they have a secret fling! Honestly, it’s all good.

#femslashex #femslash exchange #dear author letter #there will be more later #once i manage to write up the fandom specific parts #long post #(or it will be or it is idk)#the old guard #the untamed #lucifer #last tango in oh noooo #last tango in halifax #star trek: the next generation #star trek: picard #star trek: ds9 #stars trek #babylon 5

Gift for @scifihobbit (Prompt: Ezri/Kira)

Kira and Ezri had breakfast together that morning. After a bit of hesitation at first, when Ezri got on the station, they started getting along well. Now they often spent time together, enjoying each other’s company.

They started walking towards Ops. As they reached the turbolift, they heard a voice.

“Aunt Nerys! Aunt Nerys!”

Kira turned around to see an enthusiastic Molly O’Brien running towards her, smiling.

In the short period of time when Kira lived with the O’Briens, she had really become attached to her.

“Hi, Molly. Prophets, you’ve grown so much since the last time I saw you” Kira said, as she bent down to hug her.

“I’m so happy today!” Molly said enthusiastically

“That’s great! And what makes you so happy?”

“It’s only five days before Christmas! What did you ask Santa, aunt Nerys?”

“Christmas? Santa?” Kira asked perplexed, looking up at Chief O’Brien

“Molly, dear, Kira’s Bajoran. They don’t celebrate Christmas” the chief explained softly

“Oh.” Molly replied, somewhat disappointed

“Kira and Dax have to get to work, Molly, let’s go” O’Brien said, well aware that they were in the middle of a war and they couldn’t afford to waste any time “Oh, and see you at dinner” he added, remembering he and Keiko had invited Kira and Dax for dinner that night.

“Goodbye, aunt Nerys! Goodbye, Ezri!” Molly said as she and her father started to walk away.

“Goodbye, Molly!” they answered in unison.

Kira turned to look at Ezri

“Do you know what she was talking about?”

“Yes” Ezri answered “Benjamin told me about it some time ago”

“Oh, that’s great” Kira said, relieved.

“It’s an old Earth holiday. It started off as religious, but nowadays it’s mostly an occasion for families to spend some time together and exchange gifts” Ezri explained.

“What about Santa?”

“Santa Claus is a legendary man that is said to bring presents to children on the night of Christmas Eve.”

“To all children on Earth? In one night? All alone?” Kira asked, even more confused that she was before. What kind of technology did this man have to be able to visit all kids on Earth in such a short time?

Ezri started giggling

“It’s a story parents tell to their kids” She looked around to see if there were any children nearby “it’s not real” she whispered

“Oh. That makes more sense” Kira replied, laughing.

–

Kira and Ezri stood in front of the door of the O’Briens quarters, waiting for them to answer the doorbell. Kira was carrying two small boxes under her arms, wrapped in brightly coloured gift paper. After she had learnt about Christmas, she had spent all her lunch break picking a gift for Molly and Yoshi, with Ezri’s help.

“Hi, Nerys. Hi, Ezri. You’re early, Miles and the kids still aren’t home” – Keiko greeted them, gesturing for them to come in.

“I brought a gift for the kids” Kira said, giving them to Keiko “Ezri told me about Christmas this morning and…” she explained, still not sure if this was the “right” way to exchange gifts according to the traditions.

“Oh, Nerys, you didn’t have to” Keiko replied, softly, embarrassed that she hadn’t even thought about getting her a gift.

“I know, but I wanted to. In the months I lived here, you did a lot for me. You’ve made me feel like a part of the family. I just wanted to do something for you, for a change. So, where do I put these?”

“You can put them under the tree” Keiko said, pointing to a pine tree in the corner of the room.

Kira had read about Christmas trees, but what she saw vastly exceeded her expectations. A number of brightly colored lights went all around the plant, blinking in various patterns, lighting part of the room. A bunch of ornaments hung from the branches, from simple globes to more complex ones resembling reindeers, snowmen and other typical holiday symbols; a large star stood on the top. She put her two presents at the base of the tree, near the others.

They then waited for the others to arrive.

–

When they left, Ezri couldn’t help but notice that Kira had been smiling all evening.

“What you did for Molly and Yoshi was really sweet, Nerys” – Ezri said, as they walked back to their quarters

“Oh, it’s nothing special” – Kira replied, shrugging it off

“That’s not true. You saw how happy they were when they saw the gifts under the tree”

“You know, when I was a child we had nothing. I’ve never received a present. There wasn’t even enough food for everybody, let alone toys… We played with what we had. The O’Briens are the closest thing I have to a family, in a way Yoshi is also my kid, and” Kira almost shed a tear “and seeing he and Molly so happy just… just made me happy too”

“Kira Nerys, you’re really becoming soft” Ezri replied teasingly

“Oh, shut up, Ezri. I’m not soft” she replied, laughing

“But you’re an amazing person” this time Ezri was serious “and it’s all that matters”

“Thank you”

As she said that, they arrived to Kira’s quarters.

“Goodnight, Ezri. See you tomorrow”

“Goodnight” Ezri replied.

As she walked towards her own quarters, she kept thinking about Kira’s words. About how she said that she had never received a present as a kid. Kira had told her (well, mostly Jadzia) a lot about her past, but not about her childhood. Ezri knew those were particularly traumatic memories for Kira, since she had lost both her mother and her brothers when she was still a kid; she knew it was really difficult for her friend to talk about it, so she didn’t insist too much on the topic, figuring she’d tell her when she was comfortable with that. There still was one thing, however, she could do for her.

–

Kira’s doorbell chimed. It was her day off, so she had spent most of the morning meditating and relaxing. She opened the door.

“Hi, Nerys” Ezri said. She then noticed the lit candles on the floor “Oh, were you meditating? I’m sorry, I’ll come back later” she added quickly.

“No, no, don’t worry. I was done. Come in.” Kira replied as she blew out the candles “Talking about meditation, did you try those exercises I told you about?”

“Yes, I did, and they helped. Being able to focus really helps me distinguish between my past hosts and me” Ezri sat down on the couch, and Kira sat next to her. “I have a surprise for you, Nerys”

“A surprise?” Kira asked, curious

“Yesterday you said nobody ever gave you a present as a kid, so I figured I’d make up for it.

She said, giving her a small square box, wrapped with gift paper. For once, all the memories of her previous lives had helped her instead of causing her problems: after all, Jadzia had been Kira’s friend for years, and she knew really well what she liked.

“But you didn’t have to, I’m a grown woman now, and I didn’t get you anything, and…”

“Don’t worry. Like you said yesterday, I did this because I wanted to” Ezri replied

“But I still feel selfish, accepting a gift without giving anything back”

“Think of it as a gift from Santa then. I heard you’ve been really good this year” she replied promptly, with a smirk that instantaneously reminded Kira of Jadzia.

Ezri was starting to become worried. Did Nerys like her idea?

There still were a lot of things Nerys wanted to say; a lot of thoughts filled her mind: her friendship with Jadzia, the way she and Ezri had grown closer in the last weeks, the new feelings she was developing towards Ezri.

“Thank you, Ezri” was all she could think of saying.

Ezri nodded, relieved. She was still wondering what was in Kira’s mind.

“Can I open this now, or do I need to wait?”

“Christmas is tomorrow. But you can open it now if you want to.”

“Santa will be angry if I open it early, won’t he?” Kira joked, putting the box aside.

“Oh, you’re right” Ezri replied, smacking her head.

“Ezri?”

“Yeah?”

“Can you distinguish between your feelings and the ones from the previous hosts?”

“What do you mean?”

“Like, if you see Worf, you know that it was Jadzia that loved him and not you?”

“It’s still a bit blurry, but I can feel the difference” Ezri couldn’t really explain it. She wasn’t even sure she understood it herself. “Why?”

“Because I’d like to kiss you” Kira said, leaning forward until she was almost staring into Ezri’s beautiful blue eyes

“I’d like it too” Ezri replied, putting her arm behind Nerys’s shoulders, making their lips touch. She had had feelings for Nerys for a long time, but always ignored them, worried that what she was feeling was coming from her previous host.

The very instant he felt Nerys’s tongue against her lips, all her doubts came back with even more strengths.

“I can’t do this” she said, getting up from the couch with a sudden movement

“I’m sorry, Ezri, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable” Nerys apologized “I thought you wanted to kiss”

“I wanted to. And I still want” Ezri replied, pacing the room

“What’s the problem then? Did I do something wrong?” Nerys asked, getting up from the couch herself.

“I don’t want to replace Jadzia. I know the wonderful friendship you had, and I don’t want to fill the void she left. It’s still too early, you’re still grieving for her, and you don’t need me to add even more confusion”

“Jadzia and I were really good friends. She was the first person from Starfleet I didn’t feel as an enemy. She still tried to become my friend after all the horrible things I said about them. I felt safe with her, I felt like I could tell her anything. She cared deeply about me. She really meant a lot for me, and nobody will ever replace her” Nerys explained nervously, trembling “but I didn’t see you as a replacement. Not after I really got to know you. I thought about this a lot, and I’m sure. The person I fell in love with is a different person from her. And it’s you, Ezri, only you”

Tears began to roll down Ezri’s cheeks; she sat down again. Nerys sat along her, letting Ezri’s face rest on her chest. She slid a finger through her hair.

Ezri felt it distinctly this time. She was sure she loved Nerys and that love came only from her.

“Better?” Nerys asked, wiping her tears with her hand.

“Better” Ezri replied, sniffling. “I’m ready to try it again”

“There’s no rush. You can think about this all you want”

“I’m sure now” she replied with confidence.

Ezri tilted her face up, now looking directly as Nerys. She pulled herself up, letting her lips touch Kira’s mouth once again; “This time’s for real” she thought, as she let Nerys pull her close, deepening the kiss.

“You know, Nerys” she said, after what seemed like only an instant. “this is the best Christmas present you could give me”

“I love you” Nerys replied “and only you”

“I love you too”

As Ezri said this, the doorbell chimed once again. They pulled themselves together, then Nerys went to open the door. It was captain Sisko.

“Chief O’Brien and I thought about inviting all of the senior staff at Quark’s for a drink, to celebrate Christmas together” he explained “care to join us?” he asked both of them.

“We’ll gladly come” they answered.

As they walked towards Quark’s, Ezri and Kira looked at each other. It looked like their first Christmas was a success.

Trektober 2020, Day 4: Aliens Made Them Do It

Winn says the Kai must attend to the consummation of the Emissary's marriage bed. Kasidy Yates vehemently disagrees.

“The fuck do you mean, the Kai has to ‘attend to the consummation’?” Kasidy is furious. “Like hell is that happening. Ben, tell them.” Sisko winces. He has, repeatedly. He has tried so often to enforce what the old legal historians of the Federation would call the separation of church and state, only to be undermined by those he considered his staunchest allies--Kira Nerys and Dax. Kira, at least, is embarrassed. Dax is highly amused. She would be, it is exactly the sort of situation Curzon would get himself in--and would not even think to ask for help getting out.

“I’m sorry, Kasidy,” Kira says. She’s blushing. That, at least, is entertaining. They have managed to make his stalwart First Officer blush. “I have told the Kai, again and again, that you two are making your own arrangements. But the people have decided that this is going to be the wedding of the millennium for Bajor. And you know how she is about tradition.”

“Do I,” Sisko murmurs. Kai Winn has been a thorn in his side since his first six months on the station, and he finds himself mourning for Kai Opaka, who is in a better place than he is right now: trying to reckon with his main political enemy’s desire to attend to his wedding night.

Ezri is barely holding back her laughter. “Oh come on now, Benjamin,” she scolds, “don’t be so close-minded. You know what the Federation asks of us. We need to respect other’s traditions, and you are the Emissary, after all. You embraced the title. You can’t reject some of the requirements, just because they’re not so...palatable?”

“Is that professional advice, or just your sense of humor?” he asks gently, and Dax starts to giggle. Kira rocks on her feet, clearly uncomfortable.

Ezri suggests, “Well, you can always elope. Say the Prophets sent you a vision--”

“They already did that, and they don’t approve,” Kasidy snaps. “You know, I thought I had dealt with my fair share of--demanding mother-in-laws, but this? Wormhole aliens who exist out of space and time? Who’ve decided that every bit of my sex life needs to be supervised? This is not what I thought I was getting into, Ben!”

Ben almost tells her to chill, but remembers enough from Jennifer blowing up at him that it will not work, she will storm out, and Kira will be awkward and Dax will laugh at him and tell Jake, who will also laugh, and none of them will ever let him hear the end of it.

“We could postpone the wedding?” he suggests desperately.

“No,” Kasidy says, and that is final. They get married in a quiet ceremony on Earth, with the reception at his father’s restaurant, and it is beautiful. His sister is there, and she is lovely to Kassidy, and even his brothers manage to time their transports to make it in time. Ben wishes his staff could have made it, and imagines Dax trying to get Odo to dance, Kira cutting up the dancefloor with Julian, and Miles telling war stories in the back. But the reality is that it would have been a weeklong affair, full of professions and ceremonial dances, and every intimate detail overseen by Kai Winn. And as lovely as Kasidy is, he doesn’t think he could get it up in the same room as the Kai. It’s too creepy.

Is it fair to say that I am skeptical of Jonsa happening? As much as I would love for Jon and Sansa to be the endgame couple, too many barriers stand in their way: D@enerys, possible Targcest!baby, the Northern lords, the Night King and Cersei, his parentage. As much as I loathe it, perhaps Jon did relinquish his kingdom due to his love/awe of Daenerys, though Lord only knows why. He has not seen the darker aspects of her character. Just like D@enerys, Jon is impetuous and doesn't think.

Dear nonny,

I would beg to differ, but of course I would do that….

Let’s look at the things that stand in their way:

Da€nerys. I would say it depends on how Jon feels for her. If he is in love with her, that would stand in their way, but since I don’t think he is, I would argue that Da€nerys could prove to be a catalyst for Jonsa. Sansa might realise that she is jealous and that might induce Jon to admit that their is no reason to be jealous. Da€nerys probably wouldn’t like it, but that does not mean that she can prevent it.

possible Targcest baby: This would only be a hindrance if D anounces she is pregnant and they marry before RLJ reveal, highly unlikely. And Sansa could not hold that baby against Jon. If he sired a baby, he sired it unawares of RLJ. I hold to the (unpopular) opinion that a Jon€rys baby, even a living one is a possibility, although I would not like it. I do not think it would necessarily prevent Jonsa, because the situation is different than with Ned/Cat at the time of Robert’s Rebellion. Sansa marrying Jon and bringing up a baby not her own would be as if she was married to a young widower. It would probably make things more difficult, but not necessarily impossible.

The Northern Lords: How do they stand against Jonsa? Once they learn of RLJ they might insist to raise another Stark as King/Queen, but they probably could be appeased very easily with a Jonsa marriage. A Targaryen tamed by a Stark bride. Would be o.k. for them. The Northern Lords would be a huge obstacle for a Jon€rys marriage especially after parentage reveal. If Jon wants to keep a hold on the North, marrying Da€nerys after parentage reveal and renewing Targaryen exceptionalism is the last thing he should do.

The Night King and Cersei are only enemies to be defeated. None of them has an interest in preventing Jonsa. They are only obstacles in the meaning that they might try to kill Jon, Sansa or both and that of course would mean an end. But otherwise than acting as cockblockers I can’t see how they work against Jonsa. Indeed, fighting against a common ennemy might bring them even closer together.

Parentage reveal: I really strongly disagree with you on this point. RLJ reveal works strongly in Jon and Sansa’s favour. Without RLJ they could never be together, with RLJ there is no impediment for a marriage.

As for Jon relinquishing his kingdom for love, I also disagree. I mean, even if he were in love, what makes you think that he just forgot the North, his people and his family? You know the North he will fight for “no matter the odds” (Jon’s words not mine). Even if he would be a man completely and utterly in love, why would he forget that?

And Jon might not have seen the darker aspect of her character, but he has seen her very dangerous “children”, her temper and he can guess that she did not win the battle on the Goldroad just be flying over the armies. He has an inkling on “what she is” (not who!).

As for Jon being impetuous, I disagree as well. During his whole time at Dragonstone he acted guarded and did not act rashly even once. He even hid his joy that must have been in his heart when he heard that Bran and Arya are alive. In episode 1 Sansa rubbed him the wrong way, and even then he fought with her on the battlements and not in the Great Hall for all to see, he did not lose his temper.

And although ShowJon is dumbed down, he is not stupid. He can act rashly, when his emotions run high - like when Rickon is in danger - but he does not do so regularly. And BookJon is really smart. So no, Jon acted like he did, because he thought he had no choice, not because he doesn’t think.

Thanks for the ask!

can i get one for Garak, Odo, Julian, Kira, and Jadzia and their reactions to the reader getting a tattoo (i just got one) romantic relationship or platonic either way

{ I only write 4 characters for ask and so I only wrote about the aliensbecause I think their reactions are more interesting. }

⭐ GARAK ⭐

Humans really are weird. Really.

At first, he does not understand the sense of it, it’s not somethingCardassians do and so it’s a pretty new thing for him and so he’s quitecurious. You know, Cardassians’ skin is different, it’s like reptile skin, theyhave scales and so it’s hard making tattoos on scales, their skin is rough andresistant. Garak would never do something like this and the thought of needlesthat penetrate his skin freaks him out.

You explain to him that’s a form of art, there are so many terrestrialarts he still does not know but this one is very particular since it involvesyour body and a lot of pain.

It’s like humans loved pain, they have this sadomasochist nature butthey still don’t accept it, Garak thinks, they should be more honest withthemselves. A very fascinating phenomena anyway.

Humans have a weird relationship with sufferance and everything that’sunhealthy, human’s history explains this concept very well since humans have somany kind of addiction and when even art becomes painful, well, humans areaddicted to pain as well. They look so weak and innocent but they hide a toughpersonality. He has always thought they are creatures of contradictions andoddness.

When you explain to him the normal procedure of getting a tattoo andthat involves needles and ink, Garak thinks it’s a new form of torture and hedoes not understand why you let them torturing you in such inhuman way, noteven Cardassians tortured their enemies like this. Human’s sadism isimpressive, he may take them as role model, at least, he learnt something newand even if his career as a member of the Obsidian Order is over, learning somenew technical of torture is always useful, it’s like a master, an upgrade ofhis skills. Yes, he considers this thing as a valid form of torture since it includespain, blood and needles, so it surely is a form of torture.

⭐ ODO ⭐

Even Odo is perplexed about it, humanoids are so peculiar and weird,they never stop surprising him in so many ways, positive and negative, but hecan’t say they are not original.

Odo is always curious and interested in humanoid’s rituals andtraditions, even if sometimes he does not understand the sense of them.

Since Odo has never heard about tattoos before, you have to explain itto him and he also thinks it’s a form of torture, he actually looks moreperplexed and he is worried –even if he does not appear so worried-. Odo keepslistening to you, with his arms crossed, and his face concentrated, his eyesdon’t show any particular emotion, he’s still very serious and austere in hisways but he’s thinking how barbaric this practice is but you have chosen to doit, nobody forced you and so he does not worried a lot.

Then he starts reading more information about this practice and hediscovers things he didn’t imagine. It’s actually a very old tradition andpeople tattooed themselves for religious, cultural or war reasons. It’s morefascinating than he thought, he’s actually fascinated by ancient history andtraditions especially funeral rites and so he keeps reading books about it.

In particular, he didn’t know that some human criminals used tattoos asa “badge of membership” because only delinquents wore tattoos and so they couldbe recognized thanks to it. For example, the members of the Yakuza, the JapaneseMafia, or even other Asian countries used to tattoo their skin and it was alsothe symbol of their power. Odo finds it very interesting but he knows you havenot tattooed yourself for this reason, you are not a criminal but he could dosome cynical comment about it, just for joking even if he looks so serious whenhe jokes.

Since Odo is not a solid he can’t tattoo himself but he can imitate it,he can turn into every kind of thing. Odo can design on his solid body tattoos andsymbols. Maybe it can be a good exercise to improve his changeling skills.

You often give him advice about new drawings he can “tattoo” on hisskin/solid form and it’s a very funny game. Well, it’s not a game for himbecause he’s serious and he takes it as a training but you are always curious tosee his progress and forms.

One day, you suggest him to tattoo Quark’s face on his belly or back andOdo is so shocked that he does not speak with you for the rest of the day. Itwas such a weird comment and the idea of having Quark tattooed on his skindidn’t amaze Odo at all. Not a hilarious joke. Not at all.

⭐ JADZIA DAX ⭐

We can consider her stains as tattoos, even if she’s born with it but astranger can think she has tattooed herself. Even in an episode where Jadzia,Sisko and Julian had a time travel, she said to the humans of that period shehad Japanese Tattoos and so it’s plausible someone can trade her stains fortattoos.

Jadzia is an open mind, curious woman and so she finds this art veryfascinating. She also would tattoo herself but she already is and and her tattoos are original and so she doesnot need it. If she was a human, she would think about it and she would cover herbody with tattoos.

Jadzia truly loves your tattoos and she could even suggest some new onesyou can make, she’s very enthusiast and she jokes about how strong and brave youare because it’s very painful. You’re even tougher than a Klingon (Worf issnorting as a baby and he does not approve) but Jadzia is very enchanted.

Of course, she already knows about it, she’s a very cultured woman andshe will tell you about some of her old friends who had tattoos and otherstories about her past lives. Then you also can tell her the stories behind your tattoos, she wouldlove to listen and know about their meanings, the reason why you made them andyou chose the drawing you chose.

It would be very hilarious if you would tattoo her same stains on your skin pretending to be a Trill, really funny or maybe you could play to her a joke and you could really tattoo trill’s stains and say to her you wanted to become a trill. That’s amazing and then Jadizia would laugh all the week because of your joke. Well done!

⭐ KIRA NERYS ⭐

She didn’t know about this human’s habit and she thinks it’s weird butfascinating at the same time. Kira is not really an expert of art but shethinks it’s cool and you’re tough if you let your skin being stung by needles,she would never do something like this but you’re the owner of your body andshe can’t criticize your choice.

Kira really likes stories and she wants to know the meaning of yourtattoo, maybe you could also explain to her how it works, what’s the processand all these stuff.

I think she’s the kind of girl who would tattoo herself because she’svery curious about it and she wants to experiment it. Maybe it would take timebefore she decides it but she’s the kind of woman who likes challenge and thenshe could remove it in case she would regret it.

Kira loves observing and caressing your skin, she has always loved yourskin, every part of you, but now she would define you as a piece of art. The mostbeautiful gift the prophets could donate to her.

Maybe you could surprise her and make a tattoo in her honour. Maybe youand she could make a tattoo in common and so she would have no excuse to refuse, it’s something veryromantic and she didn’t think you could have such an idea and she thinks you’rejoking but you’re so serious. Yes, maybe she has to do it.

A Hot Take on j//nerys

*posting this as a separate post bc tumblr’s being dumb as hell*

First of all, anon, thank you very much for this ask, because BOY OH BOY have i MANY FEELINGS about the magical targcest ship that is j//nerys.

This is about to be a long ass post. Also, includes spoilers to Season 8 Ep 1 (I’ll tell u when!)

First of all, when watching Season 7, I could not find myself shipping J and D. Like...I can see what D&D tried to do with the buildup and the chemistry (like the cave paintings and Jon Chilling with Drogon), and idk if they meant to make it so awkward and stunted, but it was. I felt -1000000 chemistry in between those two characters, frankly speaking. I could see some of it nearing episodes 6 and 7 if I squinted, but I was just kind of blown away by how I absolutely could not get behind this ship that the show has supposedly been leading up to for seven seasons.

At that point, I did kinda believe in Political!Jon because it made more sense for his character rather than falling in love with Dany “White Savior Complex” T. Before watching S8 Ep1, I already didn’t think jonerys was going to be endgame, even if they were canon for the time being. It was just such a stilted relationship and the Dark!Dany was coming in STRONG. But after watching 801, may I just say…

*if you haven’t noticed, S8 EP1 spoilers start now*

Here is a pretty hot take that I don’t think I’ve seen anyone share:

Jon Snow is infatuated by D. Maybe even in love with her. But he absolutely does not love her.

Let me start with the distinction. J is infatuated because he’s almost maybe even obsessed. He knows her as the Breaker of Chains, the Mother of Dragons, and all these mythical things that her title is, and combined with the fact that she swooped in to save him when he was going Wight Hunting, I think it’s just a bunch of savior idealism mixed in with a tad bit of Stockholm Syndrome. Not to mention, I think he’s being blinded with his obsession of finding more allies to fight against the AotD, and he’s willing to overlook all of her many, many faults to get there. He’s thinking very short term right now.

And honestly? I think that this infatuation is an ongoing trend with Daenerys’ lovers. None of them truly love her as an equal, except Drogo probably. They are besotted with her. Jorah, Daario, and mayyybee even Drogo to an extent -- they don’t love her, they are in love with her.

So does this kill Pol!Jon? Mayhaps. I think, actually, that Jon started out with those Pol!Jon motives in season 7, and I think he sticks to them up until Eastwatch (if his lukewarm reactions to D and clear annoyance with her has anything to say about it). To me, when watching Eastwatch, it was like a flip was switched. Suddenly, so suddenly, Jon was bending the knee to this woman who swooped in and saved the day. And I think his whole “let’s all be truthful once and for all” spiel in Dragonpit is sort-of evidence as to the falling of his Pol!Jon motives. (tbh, I can see how it could actually bolster the Pol!Jon argument, but it’s irrelevant).

Admittedly, this was all conjecture in my head. Up until Season 8. And BOY oh bOY did this episode feed me.

[Yay to Robert and Cersei parallels, anyone?]

I know a lot of people felt as if Jon was rather ooc in 801, and I agree. I think that’s due to his adoration for Dany. Not sticking up for Sansa when Dany threatened her? Asking Arya to take Dany’s side and making that little jab at Sansa for thinking she’s the smartest person in the world (btw, she absolutely is)? Generally being complacent as hell?

I think, in all those moments, he’s warring with himself. On one hand, angel-on-his-shoulder Jon knows that family should come first, that he should fight and stand up for the ones he loved. On the other hand, he’s desperately trying to justify his infatuation for D. He’s grasping at straws, and I think he’s scared of the fact that he is. I think the most telling part of this is when he tries to justify D’s murder of the Tarlys (AND, might I add, he doesn’t even know that she burned them alive yet, just that she killed them. Oh, i cannot WAIT for this tea)

Just...watching that scene [I’ll put a pic when I can get one]. Jon begins by looking confused and worried as hell. He’s beginning to look past his infatuation and see the truth. And he really tries to defend her, he does -- “I’ve had to murder people before” or whatever he says -- but Sam CALLS him the fuck out. And let me tell you? In that fucking scene, Jon doesn’t look angry. He looks scared.

And OOF that scene with Sansa? “Did you kneel for the North or for love?” (I’m paraphrasing, sorry if it’s not accurate)

Jon hesitates. He knows, in his heart of hearts, that he’s supposed to be doing this for the North, and he’s trying to justify his infatuation with Dany and marry the two, but it isn’t working.

And the “Did you ever have faith in me?” I think Jon truly thinks what he’s doing is right. Or it could be right. He’s may be looking for Sansa’s validation, partially, because at this point even he’s unsure of what he’s doing, but that’s a little tinfoil.

Now, on to explain the existence of J//nerys moments that don’t involve the two characters themselves..

Davos, Varys, and Tyrion talking about a marriage alliance. I’d be lying if if I said I was surprised by it. And I don’t blame Davos for trying to push it. In an ideal situation if D was an actual good person, it would make sense. But she isn’t, and Jon doesn’t love her. Not to mention I find it kind of funny that they were looking at the pair and then we find out D’s just whining abt how Sansa doesn’t like her. Very romantic.

I think that scene was necessary for two reasons. I think they might add in a push for a marriage alliance in Ep 2, when I predict that the tensions btwn Jon and D will begin, and then Jon just reveals it can’t happen because he is, ta-da, a Targaryen. And then D will go back to Dragonstone before the Battle of Winterfell while leaving her armies behind (which people are predicting). But second of all, that scene was absolutely set up for Varys’ last line -- “Nothing lasts.”

A very purposeful line. A very purposeful shot to J and D as Varys says that line. This, more than everything else, confirmed that no matter how canon j//nerys might seem now, it’s never going to be endgame.

Now for the dragon joyride scene! Yay! Let’s take a break in the middle of literal war preparations and ignore an alliance about to fall apart at the seams to go chill at a waterfall that should be frozen over!

Honestly I thought this whole scene was such fanservice. There was no emotional aspect to it, no swelling music or long-awaited release. But D&D put it in there, using their precious screentime for a reason.

1. I think it shows Jon “embracing”, or lack thereof, his Targ side. It’s very clear he is not made for it, and he is not enjoying it. When Dany first rode her dragons, she did so with ease. Jon is absolutely not having it. I think this goes to show in some little way that no matter Jon’s blood, he’s a Stark. Or maybe it’s showing a melding between his Stark and Targaryen side. Idk. either way, there wasn’t an ounce of romance in that scene that didn’t seem forced

2. Foreshadowing for Dance of Dragons 2.0 much?? I think this is very much an introduction to Rhaegar-staying-with-Jon and knowing that Jon can control him

3. Oh my god was the romance one-sided. D instigated all the romance, she instigated the kiss. Admittedly, Jon obliged, but uh...his whole kiss while staring at Drogon? I???? What??? Ah, yes, very romantic????

I love D staring at Jon with all this love (I do think she loves him, and his betrayal will turn her to Dark!Dany, but more on that later) and Jon just trying his best! Keep your queen warm! uwu!!!!!!!!!!!

PHEW! That’s all the meta-y thoughts I have on j//nerys. I’m also beginning to think that j//nerys is the Bad version of Ygritte and Jon? As in in both cases, I believe Jon began by trying to infiltrate the enemy party and pretending to be in love, but then actually truly falling for the girl in Ygritte’s case and falling in infatuation in D’s, and ending up having to betray her because it was never going to last in the first place. Also, cave/waterfall parallels maybe. That being said, Ygritte and Jon is far, far healthier and balanced, and this is just a crack theory, so don’t hate me on this one!!!

I really found it funny how j//nerys stans after 801 were frantically giffing the dragon joyride and makeout session bonus pack and blatantly ignoring how the entire plot of the story was pointing to Dark!Dany and the strife btwn them. Also, I could literally do an entire other post about Dark!D and how I absolutely hated her in 801 and then another one about jonsa, so if anyone’s interested, lmk!

TLDR: Jon has feelings for D but it’s not even close to love, it’s infatuation at best. Pol!Jon happened initially, but then faded away. j//nerys is hella one-sided atm and even if jon truly loves D, it’s 101% not going to last longer than like ep 3. Also not mentioned but if D insults Sansa one more time I’m going to kick her ass.
