ASOIAF OC x Canon shitposting is real.

I wish I create only one oc sister I ship with Sandor to avoid other Clegane bro, but hey, Aerin had to happen. Glad the third triplet of her family is GAY asf and I'm still searching her cute ASOIAF Canon gf to ship her with. 👀

[perplexingly]

I know a lot of people would disagree and I understand the warning against it but traveling alone was honestly some of the most fun I've ever had 🥺 also like, the amount of nice interactions you get, both with other lone travellers or locals (especially older people who like chatting : D)

Here I am, sitting at my desk, daydreaming about the pic I took last night of Emmrich on one knee, admiring the flowers in the memorial gardens with my Rook standing next to him and even on his knees he’s almost as tall as her.

Chapter I: The Welcome Comitee

"A Day Out"

–> Finally, it's morning. Turns out, sleeping on the hard floor wasn't as comfortable as he imagined. Hell, now that he thinks about it, his back kinda hurts. But hey, atleast it got the job done.

He gets up, puts his shirt back on, and promptly goes downstairs. It's empty, again, and Scarlett's just doing her thing as usual, wiping the inside of a few glasses.

She turns to him and kicks off a conversation. Greeting him with a smile on her face. "Hello, Harvey."

"Hello, Scarlett." He says. He walks over to the bar and sits down.

"You sleep well?" She asks.

"Well enough. You?"

"Eh. As usual. How about that shoulder? Can you move your arm alright?" She says to him, gesturing towards his shoulder.

Harvey moves his arm around a little. "It's a little painful, but yeah."

She sets down the glasses and places one of her hands on the table. "So uhh––you reckon you can take on the gang of loansharks?"

"I think so, yeah. Where do I find them?"

"I've managed to track down the spots where they frequent most, and if you're lucky, you'll run into them;

So first is the plaza near here. Alot of people frequent there. Desperate people, mind you.

Secondly, is a little spot in an alley behind an abandoned warehouse. I don't know why they go there often, but i've seen them there often enough.

And third of all, is a certain restaurant they frequent. A steakhouse."

"And... how am I supposed to know these places when I'm new in town?" He asks.

"... Hm. Fair point. I guess I'm coming with you, then."

"Well, wait a second. Don't you have to close the bar first?"

"Already closed. I never opened it in the first place. Here, look, you what here a moment while I get ready." She says. She proceeds to walk off and go upstairs.

"Well, uhh––okay then?" He says. He's taken off guard, but he's somewhat curious about the prospect of having her come along with him. Hell, He could use the commentary.

Harvey just sits there for a bit. Leaning over the table in complete silence as he hears alot of noise emanating from the upstairs.

Scarlett soon returns. With a fresh change of clothes, and a gun... of some kind. It kinda looks like a modified M1911. She then conceals the weapon, hiding it with another article of clothing. Scarlett speaks first.

"Shall we go then?"

Harvey laughs. "After you."

"How chivalrous of you. Now come on." She says, somewhat sarcastically.

Scarlett leads Harvey out of her bar, locking the doors behind her. "Now, since the plaza is the closest I reckon we should go there first." She says. She gestures to him and leads him through the alleys. Going past the posters, the graffiti, and...

"That's a dead shifter." She says, directing Harvey's attention to it. She stands and looks at it for a hot second. "Seems someone got to one of the loansharks before we did."

Harvey turns to her and asks: "How'd you know that they were one of the loansharks?" Scarlett then points to the mark on its hand: "Because it has the insignia that's associated with them." She pauses for a second. "Well. Let's go, then." She says. The pair eventually continue on their path, and arrive at the plaza.

The sky's cloudy and grey, and it's also pouring. Creating a sort of gloomy atmosphere.

The plaza's about what you would expect. Trees, benches, and long patches of grass. There's also a giant, faceless bronze statue. Harvey brings Scarlett's attention to it.

"What's that?" He asks.

"It's a government-approved statue Venus erected." She scoffs. "Two-faced bastards." She puts her hands in her pockets.

It's clear to him that she holds contempt for them. Whoever 'Venus' is, anyway. The engraved sign under the statue reads:

"To those who have fallen for the safety of others, those who have sacrificed themselves for the betterment of others, and those who have spent their lives helping others. We erect this statue in loving memory of you.

-Venus Corporation"

As they're walking around, curiosity gets the better of him. "What is Venus?" He asks.

She sighs deeply. "It's a... place where my winged parents originated. To put it shortly." She says. She kind of hasted through the last few words as if they were hard to get out.

Harvey, knowing that he might have poked at a soft spot for her, chooses not to pose questions any longer.

"... We were supposed to look for some loansharks right?"

She turns to him: "Well, we've looked all around the place. No sight of 'em... Look, Harvey, it's about time we have something to eat. Why not make a stop at the steakhouse?"

He thinks for a second "... Sure. Why not."

–> The pair arrive at the doors of the steakhouse. By then it's already the afternoon. So, starved and tired of walking, the pair enter.

The steakhouse has a retro New York city kind of aesthetic; Posters lining its walls, neon signs and signs in general, and interior brick walls with black paint over them. The color red is very prominent in this restaurant. In the form of chairs, decorations, tables and some such. It's cozy and warm. A shelter from the rain.

Scarlett's used to being here, but, as she knows, Harvey isn't. So they both subconsciously decide to let her take the reins on this one.

"You just gonna stand there, Harv? Come on. I'll get us a table." She says while chuckling. Scarlett leads Harvey to a table and they both sit down. Unbeknownst to Scarlett here; Harvey doesn't really frequent steakhouses. Nor does he order steaks often.

"You ever been in a steakhouse before?" She asks.

Harvey, fiddling with the cutlery. "Barely."

"Well, okay then." She says with an audible chuckle in her voice. She gestures towards a waiter for a menu and they wait there for a bit.

Harvey persists in toying with cutlery, and Scarlett remains there with a dreamy look in her eye.

Fuyu may be a bit of a stiff stuffy old man

But he's sad and lonely and really into theater and interested in musicals and such and fucking SAME

I wanna hold him, never let him be alone again and also take him to see a Broadway show or show him Pavaroti and both of us be excited nerds about it

Also he's tall and I'd have fun yanking him down to my height for a smooch
