Heyyy! I saw that you wanted to do a full fledged Jace x OC story and I was so happy because lately the Jace fanfic tag has been dryyy. I know that you said it would be for the AU for SPAWS that you recently wrote, but will it be exactly like the AU? or will there be some changes regarding the plot line because I feel like making Alysanne and Jace maybe enemies after driftmark as well as good childhood friends would be cool and add a lot of angst like it did with IKYLAO. I also feel like people are so afraid to write Jace as somebody capable of hating or being mean/rude and it makes him so one dimensional as a character. Omg I feel like I’m ranting now, you absolutely don’t have to listen to me because it’s your story and you should do whatever feels right for it!
ah thanks so much anon!
um, tbh, it's too early to tell, but I will say if I did write it I'd add A LOT to the story. like there were so many scenes I wanted to include in SPAWS that I didn't get around to writing bc the prompts would be way way too long for what I'm aiming for with that series.
I do love the childhood friends trope, but tbh I don't want to veer too close into IKYLAO territory, bc I delved so much in that. I think I'd be aiming for more pining from a distance vibes on Jace's part? I still need to come up with a new name for Alysanne or the 'oc' in this. alysanne in IKYLAO will always be the only alysanne for me, so I can't duplicate it. I'm leaning towards Valaena, like aegon the conqueror's mother, but if u have any suggestions anon I'd welcome them.
so the vibes for the story would be like Jace having a very intense childhood crush on "alysanne" but she's super close to aemond and also like intrigued by Jace (I've got this vision of them being made to dance with each other by their instructors during their lessons and the thought of Jace going to Harwin for advice makes me smile bc it's just too cute) because he's like, kinder than either of her brothers but also becomes her enemy bc of what he did to aemond. the trajectory is unclear!
but yeah, Jace is a lot more complex than I think people give him credit for, though he is still my precious cinnamon roll! like even though he's kind, honourable, etc, he still has plenty of frustration and resentment for a lot of people in his life, or so I think. like the knowledge that no matter how hard you try or how good/kind/just/smart/good of a fighter you are, it'll never be enough for everyone bc of something out of your control (his Stong looks) is bound to eat away at someone.
I'm also really intrigued by his feelings towards Alicent. I don't think it's something that's been explored often. like as much as he might grow to love "alysanne" and desire her and the family/kids they have together, he's very much aware that alicent is largely responsible for Harwin being sent away and subsequently killed/the persistence of the rumours of his parentage, and I think that creates a really complicated/interesting level of tension in his marriage. I mean alicent is still my most precious repressed lesbian, but still! there's a lot to explore there.
and also like - the knowledge that the woman you love/have been forced to marry is possibly plotting against you and your mother is also just a really complicated/delicious dynamic.
I think it's fun especially bc in IKYLAO, alysanne didn't have kids with aemond, so her loyalties were automatically to her family/Jace, bc she wasn't even next in line anyway. But Jace is. A stand against him is a stand against her own son, and in this AU, the fem OC will have Jace's son, so her loyalties are torn - her family, or her son? it's an impossible choice, but I think like rhaenyra says in SPAWS, the love for your children outweighs all else, and is also what eventually leads "alysanne" to become estranged from her entire family when aemond loses control of Vhagar and attacks Jace with the boys. I didn't have the time/space/energy to speak of it in this AU, but the paranoia alysanne felt was very real.
obviously daemon doesn't like her bc she supplanted his own daughter as Jace's future queen, but Otto doesn't want her to have Jace's kids either, so she can never fully trust either side of the family with her sons. not really. the only person who loves her kids as much as she does is Jace, which is a large reason why she falls in love with him in this AU in the first place.
lol sorry I'm rambling, but I do think there's a lot to explore for this AU! but yeah, if people have any suggestions for names, I'm totally down.

Nobody talk to me I just realized how fitting All Too Well (10 Minute Version) fits Gale’s relationship with Mystra
Specifically, these parts (but also like the whole song):
“And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay, but l'm not fine at all”
- kinda self explanatory
“And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was”
- how Gale talks about loving Mystra but it’s pretty clear she was using him and don’t feel the same for him
“And there we are again when nobody had to know. You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath. Sacred prayer and we'd swear To remember it all too well.”
- let’s be real, there’s no way Mystra talked about Gale the way Gale talks about her
“Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up. Runnin' scared, I was there I remember it all too well and you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of bein' honest I'm a crumpled-up piece of paper lyin' here 'cause I remember it all.”
- this bridge really takes me out
- it pretty much sums up how Gale tried to do something Mystra didn’t like even if it was for her and in response she cast him out and basically destroyed him
- it also pretty well shows how she refuses to acknowledge him until she needs him to blow himself up and then when he won’t she summons him just to tell him he has to bring her the crown
“They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell every time you double-cross my mind. You said if we had been closer in age, maybe it would've been fine and that made me want to die. The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you.”
- yeah that tracks for the whole he was a young prodigy clearly used (there’s another word that should go here but I’m new to this app and don’t know if I can say it) by Mystra
- also again with the as long as he does what she says everything is fine because it’s all the will of the goddess
“Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still tryin' to find it.”
- Gale still being pretty traumatized throughout the game (for obvious reasons)
“'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known.”
- fuck you Mystra
“And I was never good at tellin' jokes, but the punch line goes, "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age"”
- again, fuck you Mystra
“I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight.”
- she ruined him physically with that orb and emotionally in every other way
“Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well?”
- we know it ruined Gale but Mystra is clearly doing fine
Like it just perfectly fits his feelings of betrayal but also his need to still seek her approval. It also perfectly fits the way Mystra clearly used him throughout the entire time she knew him and discarded him the moment he did something she didn’t like.
Alright TedTalk over, just needed to get this out into the world.

Taylor Swift Wolfstar songs day 40
we officially have only 10 more days until TTD! And I don’t know about you, but I think Taylor Swift and the number 10 only one thing comes to mine. So please enjoy today’s song, All Too Well, Red, from the vault. POV Remus as he remembers his relationship while Sirius is in Azkaban.
And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
Remus knows it’s gone, he knows it’s not his fault, but each time he manages to forget Sirius his traitorous heart forgets why they fell apart.
And there we are again when nobody had to know You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath Sacred prayer and we'd swear To remember it all too well, yeah
And memories of them are everywhere, Remus can’t stop seeing them before it all broke down. He can’t stop seeing them when they were still a secret. And Sirius fought to keep that secret while Remus fought to keep him. They swore to stay together but it seems they were destined to go up in flames.
And maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well
Sure, it could have been him, asking for more than Sirius was willing to give, misinterpreting what he said. But Remus knows it wasn’t. He knows that in the end it was Sirius who ripped them apart, betraying Remus as he ran scared from what they had.
Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Remus desperately tries to get over it, to go back to being himself again but he can’t. Because he’s never been himself, not really, without Sirius at his side. And he can’t find it now, not after he finally had Sirius and then lost him. Not when he knows Sirius took a piece of his heart.
They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell Every time you double-cross my mind
Everyone tells Remus it will be okay again but every time he thinks of Sirius, of the betrayal, he's sent spiraling back into misery
'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well
And he can’t forget it. Everywhere he turns he sees Sirius. He sees Sirius and him in love before Sirius broke the best thing the both of them ever had. They were rare, a once in a lifetime kind of love.
I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
And though the war is over Remus feels like it stole a part of him, like Sirius took a part of Remus when he left. And Remus can’t help but wonder if Sirius is just as miserable as he is, if their love hurt him the same.
Just between us, do you remember it all too well? Just between us, I remember it (Just between us) all too well
Remus wonders if even in Azkaban Sirius remembers being in love, remembers what they had. Because Remus knows that he remembers it all too well.
This song also works for Remus post prank, let me know what you think!

All Too Well through the lens of Merthur
I walked through the door with you The air was cold But something about it felt like home somehow
Merlin and Arthur were rarely seen apart. Walking through the door together rather than Merlin after Arthur could be seen as them seeing each other as equals. Castles were often pretty cold, but having Arthur there made it home.
And I, left my scarf there at your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer even now Oh, your sweet disposition And my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all
It’s centuries in the future but Merlin stills remembers Camelot despite the magic fading as we moved towards the future. He’s surviving, he’s okay but with Arthur he’s not fine. He’s missing a part of him
'Cause there we are again on that little town street. You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me. Wind in my hair, I was there. I remember it all too well
Merlin and Arthur used to race through the paths in the woods on their horses. Even these small moments are burned in Merlin’s memory.
You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me
Merlin learned so much about Arthur throughout their time together including his past even some of the ugly parts.
And I was thinkin' on the drive down, "Any time now He's gonna say it's love," you never called it what it was
Arthur never acknowledged the way that he loved Merlin. They stole moments and clearly cared for each other but he never called it Love.
Til we were dead and gone and buried Check the pulse and come back swearin' it's the same After three months in the grave And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you But all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame
After Arthur comes back from the grave he admits what they had but it’s not the same for Merlin. He still loves Arthur but he’s been reaching with no response for so long they can’t just be what they once were. He’s watched Arthur die and Arthur died with the regret of never truly and completely knowing the man he loved.
And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
Merlin can’t do anything to bring Arthur back quicker and he can’t go back to save him. So he tries to forget about Arthur to deal with the pain.
And there we are again when nobody had to know You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath Sacred prayer and we'd swear To remember it all too well, yeah
They’re relationship was hidden because many people wouldn’t have accepted it. Arthur kept their relationship a secret but Arthur was Merlin’s Oath he would do anything to protect him or for the betterment of Arthur
And maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much
Merlin wonders if something was wrong in the prophecy since magic wasn’t restored. All he wanted was for Arthur to stay alive why was that too much.
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up. Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again just to break me like a promise
But things fell apart even before Arthur died. I like the angst I’ve seen where Arthur promised that they could be together after he was King but he broke that promise.
So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new hell Every time you double-cross my mind
Arthur is far too often casually cruel to Merlin, but Merlin didn’t care. He’s destroyed now though with the loss of Arthur. It didn’t end well for them. Every memory of what he’s lost hurts Merlin.
But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willin' you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one" Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it
Merlin’s left waiting for Arthur to come back after his death. The years feel so long and Merlin. Merlin can use magic to change his appearance, but he won’t ever get change like the times he’s stuck as he was when he lost Arthur.
I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it
Merlin changed over his years with Arthur. He wishes he could go back to the person he was the person who didn’t want to kill, who hated hunts because of the cute animals that died and who believed that things would work out in the end. But he can’t find that idealistic boy he used to be.
I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue?
After the battle Merlin lost half of himself. Arthur was his twin flame and his other side and without him Merlin is sad and lost.

A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened, you That's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"
[Verse 5] Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
[Chorus] 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there You remember it all Down the stairs, you were there You remember it all It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well
[Verse 4] They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell Every time you double-cross my mind You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine And that made me want to die The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened, you That's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one"
[Verse 5] Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah
[Chorus] 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there You remember it all Down the stairs, you were there You remember it all It was rare, I was there I remember it all too well
[Verse 6] And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well
[Outro] Just between us, did the love affair maim you all too well? Just between us, do you remember it all too well? Just between us, I remember it (Just between us), all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it all too well Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it Wind in my hair, I was there, I was there Down the stairs, I was there, I was there Sacred prayer, I was there, I was there It was rare, you remember it all too well
[Spoken Outro] I love you guys so much
