open starter // a c c e p t i n g — the brunch
Gysella had to resist the urge to s c o f f into her cup. She had to, for she found herself too surrounded by faces she could not trust. A farce, surely. Powers behind closed doors making a decision. They would choose their favourite, the ones they thought would be most easily controlled. For if they could not be the h a n d that guides the crown, they would be the p o w e r that guides the hand. She assumed as such, because it's what she would do, if given half the opportunity. She saw no reason to move, to find a council member and make promises she would have no intention of keeping, to even try. She did look across the room, to watch the reactions of others. "I'm sorry, I... Was lost in thought. So much to take in, so early in the day." Too early for a proper drink, at the very least. "What were you saying?"

you loved a fiction . dalton greyjoy — the first born son of the reaper of pyke , heir to the salt throne , ironborn personified , drowned god's endowment , carved by piety , forced by the tides , falls into the ragged trenches of his mind . the lady gysella harlaw ... no , lannister , blood no longer of sea and salt , but mortal red gloved and gold armored , growling like the lioness she made herself . she speaks , her lips moving , rage so archaic swelling beneath her skin , tugging and pulling until it was scarlet . yet the lord heir hears not one word , not a fucking articulation of the unending atrocities she had suffered from his inaction . that thing does not exist . the foaming , the ringing , and the creaking growing louder in his head . itch spreading from his wrist , crawling to his elbows , sharp pain making his fingers twitch . it still does not . something within him falls , like lumber crashing upon the ground without a sound . the screams lingered , some his own in his terror - ridden slumber , clawing his way from the clutches of his sheets so he may find air . chest tightening as he finds himself face to face with the sheer reality that nothing was and is real . that the pain he had lived with , the grappling sorrow he endured , was all of his doing , all for naught . he was right to swing his sword . destroy the mantel bannered by the iron islands as their unyielding devotion . but under the weight of his blade , it shattered fairly quick for men who declare themselves loyal and faithful . wasted are the years spent in solitude and penance , washing his skin of the blood and brutality he dared not carry to their shore out of respect . for what? a bride forged to bring him under their control . she was right , he was right . he was not a god then , no deity will falter the way he had , and be tricked into licking at wounds driven by his own daggers . no god wallows in self - pity and regret for a mortal who wears a mask . the drowned god salvaged him from making such a mistake , from remaining to be such a man . he was right to put his life in the hands of such a being , instead of a woman . his desire almost became his undoing . he would have delivered the lady harlaw to the halls himself , after peeling her crafted skin and undressing her act . it would have unleashed the unthinkable , sank the iron islands to the pits of the sea bed . i never cared for our god. and the blasphemy that poured from her very lips he once dreamed of claiming , the final arrow shot to his darkened heart .
he may speak one tongue , and dream in another now . he may , truly , allow himself — heart , body , mind , and soul , to be consumed by dominion , to bathed in iron , black , and b l o o d . if he cannot be a proper son , a proper husband , then he can be a kraken who would drink and swallow a deity that came before time itself . he had no other choice now , he must become a god ... if he cannot have peace , he will demand fear . ❝ i will have you do nothing , my lady . i hold no authority over your pride , your contentment , or the joys of your choices . those are not your husband's , or your father's , those are yours , ❞ he will bear the burden of delight , hopes , and anguish , as others have always seen fit . the young boy that thrived within him had and lost nothing , only clung to nonexistent object of desire and cause of regret that he used for excuses for his hesitations . and now , he is rid of it . freedom tasted like blood and sea water , just like every emotion his mortal frame can conjure . ❝ as are mine . ❞ ❝ though i'm afraid i owe you an apology for something else entirely , ❞ his heart ached and quivered as he yet remained a man . goal unrealized , he is left to wade through the thickened , bloodied swamps of the realm until his time to leave knocks upon the vengeance' sails . ❝ i seem to have mistaken you for another , lady lannister . ❞ years had made him skillful at the art of being dismissive , embodying callousness to survive the moral shards . dalton did what he can to keep what little memory of his past he can to live of . and to know a portion of what keeps him humane is a lie , there is no war vicious and wounding enough to quell the agony he is sitting with . ❝ i spent years unable to forgive myself for choosing faith over love , for causing pain . but i realized there is no cause for regret , i owed an apology to one who does not exist , or so i've been told . ❞ he is desperate to find grace , even a drop of courtesy , amidst the frustration cutting his skin like the edges of broken glass . he walks past the lady , not an ounce of warmth to spare . his heart beating furiously in his chest as he pulls the dagger off the wall , a sense of ridicule slapping his face as he resumed his place before her . ❝ how foolish of me , to come offering my life and the truth only she deserved , bearing my soul to ... fiction . ❞ dalton , with utmost gentleness takes gysella's hand once again , places the dagger upon it . turning his back to supply himself with whatever liquor he could find . shaking hands pouring everywhere but the cup before he throws the bottle aside , glass and red shattered and spilled everywhere .
She flinches as the dagger lands in the wood, shoulders caving, arms wrapped around chest. So easily, it could have been her, and yet he had spared her this. Spared her the final indignity of taking her life, like he had taken her future, and her reputation. Was it being spared? She wasn't sure anymore. Breath is little more than a ragged gasp, as though the blade had sunk into her heart, because it might as well have, the way it stilled in her chest, pain pouring from her like the ocean she had taken such lengths to run from. Run, she had, far and high, to the halls of Casterly Rock where the sea was a distant blue, a hushed whisper, where she could forget the truth of her blood. She buried the bodies within her. The babe born with a purpose. The girl raised to be perfect. The woman scorned. Each one, wrapped with cloth and buried in the ground, because she no longer saw herself as worthy of the Drowned God's halls. That was for warriors, and yet when a fight had presented itself, she had fled, a coward with her tail between her legs. Why hadn't she fought for him? Why hadn't she arrived on Pyke like an oncoming storm, a tempest wrapped in flesh, and demanded answers? Why hadn't she demanded he put her aside, and fulfil the promise made? Why hadn't she gone to him?
Cowardice. It was a mortal sin in their home, a worse fate than death. She had been scared of what she would find, and scared that he would send her away. Worse, scared she would see him, happy with another woman on his arm, and have to live with the image forever. To be his friend had meant to wish him the best, but not at the cost of her own pride. Surely, he could never have asked her to out such a concern to the side for his own gain. In her mind, she had seen visions of him laughing to his bride and about the silly Harlaw girl who had placed the wagon before the horse and put trust into him. Chuckle over her wounds and then never think of her again, when her entire life had been a commitment to her house, and to the Iron Islands, and him. Not once, had she considered her own desires in this, in search of power for her family. For the good of her people, she had considered her future worthy sacrifice, and a lifetime spent with friend had not seemed so bad. Now she knew what true devotion looked like, quiet moments in mornings that she never could have shared with Dalton, and yet she missed a future that had never been hers to begin with and a boy who no longer existed.
"You loved a fiction. A creature created to turn your eye, a girl trussed and moulded into whatever you wanted. That thing never existed. It still does not." What was she now? It was hard to understand, even when looking in the mirror her reflection seemed to shift. Lady of Casterly Rock. Girl from Ten Towers. Figurehead at the bow of the ship, face carved into perpetual wrath. He captained ships, she was cursed to forever be chained to them instead. "I never cared for our god. He can keep his halls and his guests and fight against storms, for I have no interest in spending an eternity surrounded by the same old men who destroyed us." She takes a step back, in search of air because she feels as though he has ripped it all from the room. Tears cooled on her face, visible evidence of her weakness. Dalton was her weakness, in every sense of the word, because it took every fibre of her being not to go to him, as it had after the attack, and when she knew him to be in King's Landing, and every other time before it. "I believed it to be me. Father believed it to be me. That a merchant girl had somehow ensnared you must have meant that I was... Failing, in some way. I was interrogated, and mocked, and then just expected to accept blame for actions not my own. Not my own! How dare you call me desirable in the privacy of this room, when to the families of our isles, you cast me as damaged lot?"
"I needed my friend, the one I thought I could count on, and yet you were the cause of all my pain. I would have been a good wife to you. I never would have hurt you, the way you have mortally wounded me. You may not have plunged that dagger into my chest tonight, Dalton, but you have killed me just the same. To ease your own conscience, to release some of your burden, you once again place it on me. How can I ever stand by your side, without looking weak? Like I will accept any humiliation thrust upon me, the scapegoat, or the doormat. You and I could start from the beginning. From the beginning of time. But the court, our families, they remember. They will not forget so easily. What would you bid me do, my liege? Just accept it? You sound like my father." The words are the deepest insult she thought she could throw, the same implication from Dalton's plea as had been brought to her doorstep when she was found to be searching mainlands for a spouse. To forget. To be placid lake, where she wanted to be toiling Northern Sea, monsters hidden within it's depths, waiting to sink the unsuspecting. Scythe had become siren, singing songs so sweetly that she could not be ignored, not only to cement her own position, but to prove that she could. "What would you have me do, Dalton? Would you have me give up the last scraps of my pride for you? I am glad not to have married you, for my husband would never ask such a thing of me."

gysella x konu 𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄
The touch was so subtle, Konu was fairly convinced he was the only one aware of it. She barely grazed him, but it told him enough. Gysella had become near-fluent in Cayvish, but in the interim, they truly had learned how to communicate nonverbally. The simple touch was faster, and it said enough. Konu tilted his head toward her, keeping his face toward the dignitary out of respect, and nodded. She knew. She squeezed his arm, and then dropped her hand back into the folds of her skirt.
With that bit of assurance, Konu felt his confidence burgeon inside him. Gysella was an excellent political mind, and he’d learned that, more often than not, he could trust his judgement. Especially so when her instinct matched his own. Out of the corner of his eye, on the side opposite Gysella, he could see his mother whispering with her astrologer. A bad sign, in his opinion, as the astrologer’s own judgement was oft unpredictable.
He cleared his throat. The astrologer’s whispers stopped, though his mother remained close, as if expecting him to continue. “I think,” he began. The dignitary straightened, as did Min and the other guard next to him. Commanding a room was something that had stopped feeling strange a long time ago, for all the practice he had. “It would be best to act swiftly, to prevent a worsening of conditions in Mornta.” He turned to Min. “We have a battalion stationed to the north of Mornta.” It wasn’t precisely phrased as a question, but he grunted an affirmative. He turned back to the dignitary, catching Gysella’s eye on the way. She reached out again, this time brushing his hand, so light he may have only felt the fabric she wore rather than her skin.
“We will send an engineering contingent, along with the supplies and money needed. There will be a battalion escort for them. The General will send word when the contingent has departed. Any further questions can be addressed by the General.” Min stepped forward, offering the dignitary a bow in what Konu assumed was Mornta fashion. Min was good at remembering greetings from all the various territories. Konu supposed that was part of his job. “If no further judgement is needed, we may adjourn.” If his mother wanted to speak then, she held her tongue, offering her own bow before slipping out of the room. The dignitary and Min both bowed to Konu and Gysella before leaving as well. When the room was empty save for the two of them, Konu dropped back into his seat, letting out a soft sigh.
Gysella’s fingers danced over his hand, and he smiled. “You’re cold,” he said, dropping into a more normal register for him. Switching in and out of being King was getting easier. “Would you like to call a warm bath before dinner?”
She murmured something in her own language, the specifics of which he could only guess at. He’d gotten no better at the Golden Tongue, unfortnately. “You did very well,” she added in Cayvish. “The engineer contingent should fix the problem quickly.”
“I thought so too,” he agreed with a small smile, curling a hand around hers. He was warmer, at least. “So, about that bath...”

Amara Greyjoy es probablemente la mujer más hermosa de las Islas del Hierro, al punto en qué podría pasar desapercibida por cualquier territorio de Poniente y ser la más envidiada de las damas y la más cortejada por los nobles caballeros que no sabrían que es una Greyjoy.
Sus modales son correctos, muy por encima que los de sus hermanas, similares a los de su madre. Es la más mimada y protegida de los Greyjoy si es que eso se puede decir de esta familia realmente.
Ella se siente levemente abrumada por las atenciones de los Hombres del Hierro y también se ha visto enfrentada a uno que otro susto con mujeres, Capitanas que la invitan a navegar en sus barcos, pero ella siempre se niega a lo segundo.
Con los hombres nobles suele ser educada, no les desprecia, pero sigue el protocolo, antes los derivaba con su padre, ahora los deriva con su hermano y sinceramente no muchos se atreven a solicitar a Dalton Greyjoy la mano de esta mujer.
Valientes existen en Las Islas del Hierro, incluso para el amor dicen, normalmente llegan a oídos y ojos de su hermano mayor, entre tres a cinco propuestas de matrimonio para ella.
Nunca le preguntó a Dalton su opinión respecto a casarla con algún poderoso señor de Las Islas del Hierro que esté soltero. Conoce las ideas de su madre al respecto, mientras más joven se case es mejor. Ella solamente espera que el hombre que escojan para ella sea de edad similar, no es que no aceptaría a un viejo canoso de esposo si es lo que le toca, pero intentaría convencer a Dalton de que no sea uno así el escogido.
Amara es religiosa, no tanto como Gysella, pero suele ofrecer su ayuda a los sacerdotes del Dios Ahogados. También a la gente de Puerto Noble, es conocida por no beber más que en eventos sociales que se organicen en Pyke. También lo es por no tener la frecuencia de utilizar palabras malsonantes y por tener un carácter que parece flotar respecto al de sus hermanos. Su madre siente que se ganó un premio con ella y la misma se lo ha informado a ella.
En secreto ansia que la guerra con Occidente termine, no porqué sea tan idiota en creer que con ello Los Hombres del Hierro podrán convivir con el resto con normalidad, simplemente porqué se le parte un poco el corazón al ver como las viudas se acrecientan y como los padres pierden a sus hijos.
No obstante, su principal miedo es perder a más miembros de su familia, si bien no conoció demasiado a sus tíos fallecidos, siente que tras la perdida de Darion los siguientes podrían ser sus hermanos o alguno que otro tío y no es una idea que le deje un buen sabor de boca.

⦁ Theomore Myre: Cabeza de la casa Myre y vasallo de Lord Dunstan Harlaw, Theomore es un señor que ha logrado prosperar gracias a la exportación del mineral de sus tierras. Si bien en un principio era proclive al saqueo de Occidente, ha descubierto con el tiempo que el dinero fluye a sus arcas más rápido cargando barcos con metal que con saqueadores. Así pues, aunque siempre ha sido un arrojado pirata, hoy por hoy se ha acomodado.
⦁ Tristifer Harlaw: Tristifer es el hijo mayor de Sigfryd Peloplata y sobrino del señor de Dieztorres. Aunque fue educado en la corte de su tío, donde fue educado en la fe de los Siete y las enseñanzas del maestre, Tristifer se ha inclinado más hacia el temperamento de su aclamado progenitor y de los jóvenes con los que ha compartido pupilaje en Dieztorres, habiendo participado en alguna fechoría lejos de las islas. Dado que los hijos de su primo Rodrik son aún muy jóvenes, se rumorea que Tristifer será el indicado llegado el momento para formalizar alguna beneficiosa alianza con los señores de Occidente.
⦁ Hagen Codd: Perteneciente a una humilde casa de Harlaw, Hagen es un capitán que ha pasado siempre desapercibido frente al resto de nobles isleños. Su casa, relativamente nueva, fue formada por un capitán ennoblecido y descienden de matrimonios con siervas o esposas de sal, pues nunca han logrado matrimonios con otras casas nobles dado su bajo estatus. Ello siempre ha sido motivo de menosprecio por parte de otras casas. Hagen posee un carácter sombrío y cruel, carente de escrúpulos para lograr sus fines. Es un excelente saqueador y marino, algo que ha llamado la atención de Lord Harlaw, quien le tiene como un lacayo capaz. ⦁ Gysella Harlaw: Originaria de una familia noble de las Islas del Hierro, desde que era una niña, Gysella demostró tener un carácter fuerte aunque no por ello rebelde. Cuando fue prometida a Rodrik Harlaw, enseguida congeniaron precisamente por la energía de una y la calma del otro. Sin embargo, no todo es calma y tranquilidad para Gysella pues en Dieztorres se ha encontrado con la influencia de Gwynesse, la hermana de Rodrik, quien actúa como si fuera la señora quitándole atribuciones. La joven, madre ya de dos niños pequeños, no es capaz de rechistar ante su cuñada y prefiere mantenerse silenciosa ante ella y el respeto que inspira en Dieztorres. O al menos, así ha sido hasta ahora…

“you matter to me. more than anyone else.” for gysella/konu!
Being on the receiving end of Gysella’s convictions was something Konu didn’t think he’d ever truly acclimate to. She believed and felt things with a force he simply did not muster most of the time. It was striking. Now, that was not the point, but it was something he had to take a moment to appreciate. What was the point was that her words, as much as they warmed him down to his belly, were not a particularly appropriate reaction to the sarcastic ones he’d given her, and he felt caught off-guard in trying to respond to them.
The joke he’d made--that she would eschew her duties in favor of spending a frivolous evenings with her handmaidens, something that was highly uncharacteristic--was only meant as a tease. That she’d responded more seriously showed, he feared, that his meaning was not clear. After so many months, and hours he’d heard her practicing to master Cayvish, to make her feel that she’d misunderstood was barely acceptable normally, let along when she’d confessed such an intense care for him. The least he could do was respond with care for her feelings.
“Gysella,” he answered, dropping down so that any prying ears would not hear. “You matter to me too.” He gathered her hand in his. “I am honored that you want to spend time with me.” She met his gaze, and as was often the case, he wished he could read her mind, to understand precisely what she was thinking, and so what she needed to hear. “I...I was not worried, in truth, that you would not come with me.” The flash of embarrassment across her face stung him, but he pressed on. Better to be honest to her, at least. “Yet, you saying that--”
Here, he faltered. Now that she was practically fluent, it was becoming clear that many of the disconnects between what he felt and what he could say to her were simply failings on his part. A lack of imagination, others who knew him might say. It was hard to tell her these things because it was hard to find the words for them. “It is a special thing,” he tried. “To have your heart like that. Something worth cherishing.” Not for the first time, he felt his own pang of embarrassment, combined with some jealousy that when Gysella made declarations of her feelings and intentions, she seemed powerful and self-assured. He felt as though he always sounded like a terrible stage-actor, reading words in a play he didn’t have the skill to perform. Hopefully, she could at least hear the honesty in them. If nothing else, Konu was honest.

‘ it made me think of you. ’ (Konu/Gysella)
The object, wrapped in paper and tied off with a bow, was heavy and irregular in shape. Konu could not fathom where Gysella would have found him a gift from, nor what sort of object would make her think of him. Their relationship these days, with the wedding finally scheduled, was on an upswing. Or, he liked to think it was. At least Gysella had seemed less displeased of late, and now that they had a date, her uncle and mother had been easier on the both of them. Still, she was spending a fair amount of time alone, and he had no reason to believe that she spent that time thinking about him. Not even if he spent it--or, an amount of it--thinking about her.
Realizing that she was standing there, watching him hold a heavy mystery object and not responding, Konu swallowed, swearching for the words. “Thank you,” he said, more sincerity than diplomatic training. When things between them had been tough, he’d fallen back on the comfort of being perhaps overly formal with her. He hadn’t even made a conscious decision to do so; it had just come out of him. But now, with tensions easing, it felt like he ought to try and bridge their gaps. “That was very kind of you.”
He shifted the weight of the object in his hand, feeling unsure about the protocol here. Did he open it in front of her? Was he supposed to have a gift in return? What sort of gift was it? “I’m sorry. I have nothing to give you in return.”
Gysella seemed confused. “Of course not. You weren’t expecting it.”
“No,” he agreed. She was right, of course. It had been a surprise, seemingly for both of them. How was he to anticipate it? “But I will...” He couldn’t very well get her something in return; that would be false in the face of her much more sincere gift. “I will keep my eye out next time I go out. See if I can return the favor.” With that, he pulled the string off the parcel, revealing the object inside.

“ how many have you kissed? ” (Konu/Gysella)
One skill Konu was trying to practice was taking her questions at face value. It went against everything he had ever been taught as future king of Cayb, but it occured to him that perhaps the skills that made a good politician did not, in fact, make a good husband. So, rather than ask her why she wanted to know, or speculate that perhaps she had found him lacking in yet another way, he simply tilted his head and recounted all his previous kisses. “Counting yourself,” he began. “Six.”
It occured to him that it would take her time to translate the numbers--that she may need to count up. He held up a hand, all fingers out, and ticked them off as he listed. “The girl in Yelan, a girl at boarding school, a girl I met in the summer on the Skehel Islands, two girls at university. And now you, of course.” He pressed his lips together, wondering if that sounded woefully inexperienced to her. His readings on the Golden Isles had been enlightening to say the least. She had been expecting a different sort of marriage than he had prepared for. The two of them would need to find a way to blend their ideas about their relationship. But that worrying was exactly the sort he was trying to prevent himself from engaging in. She’d asked a question. He answered. “Some of them, I kissed many times. Some, only once.”
Some, he had done more than kissing with, but strictly speaking, that was against the religion of Cayb, as it had been done without permission from the temple. It hadn’t even occured to him to ask. And while he doubted that Gysella would care, it did not feel that now was the time for that conversation. Instead, he turned his mind to a different question. Again, he tried to ask at face value, without worrying about the response. “And yourself?”

🍻+ “ tell me about your first kiss ?” (gysella/konu)
“I was--I was about 14, away at school in Yelan.” He held up his hands in the shape of Cayb and wiggled one finger to represent the region in question. “Yelan is the farthest Northwest in the empire, far from home as I could be. And I was staying in the house of Lord...Lord...Lord Something. Anyway, I was trying not to--you know--make a fuss about being prince because the Lord Something and my uncle had some kind of rivalry, and I thought I was doing a very good job keeping a low profile.
“Well, so, there was another girl staying with the same guy--the Lord--while she was supposed to be recovering from some sickness or something. But she wasn’t sick. Anyway, she and I--one night, we were alone and I had been walking here by the river that goes through Yelan.” He held up his hands again and then used one finger to trace the river, as if Gysella needed to know where it was to understand.
“I had been walking her along the river and then we stopped and she told me it was a nice night for a walk and...and it felt right, so I kissed her. And then I asked if that was okay, and she said it was so I did it again. And then I told her that she should know I was the prince because I didn’t want to lie to her, and she told me she already knew, and pranced off alone, and that was it. I’m not sure I even saw her again.” He shrugged, reaching for his empty glass of wine, and then dragging himself off the bed to retrieve the bottle on the other side of the room. “I probably should have just kept lying, I guess. What was yours?”
