I think I'm back with asoiaf so I want to give my fem!jon x male hightower a once over.

Hello @catofadifferentcolor It's been a while

I'm going to go with the branch of fem!jon disguises herself as a male and goes to the Citadel, but this time she's N+A=J. Her name will be Jonquil Sand.

Jonquil is raised in Dorne I'm not sure if by Lady Dayne(Edric's mother) or Ashara who I don't know whether to kill her or if she manages to recover and move on with her life.

As a bastard in Dorne that means her life is better than it would be in the other realms and she has many more opportunities than the average person. So her desire for knowledge and for solving mysteries can be fulfilled.

And during her time in the water gardens she became friends with Sarella Sand because of their shared interests. The two of them decided to disguise themselves as men and join the Citadel, but Sarella a couple of years earlier because she was older.

I would like to explore life in Oldtown, its clash of religions as the most traded city in Westeros, as well as the clash of feuds between Reachmen, Dornish and Stormlanders.

The most important plot point I want to stress is that Jonquill, Sarella and Sam with the sponsorship of Hugor and Mallora Hightower manage to find the cure for the Greyscales.

This would open up other branches such as the legitimisation of Jonquil (although Robert does it more because she is Ned's daughter than anything else).

As romances we have:

JonquilxHugor Hightower - which starts as a partnership relationship so Jonquil and Sarella can get a sponsor and because Hugor wants people he can trust in his new position as Keeper of the Citadel. After a while it turns into a romance that neither is sure if they should continue because of their status differences and their origins as coming from houses that have historically been at odds with each other.

We also have Humfrey Hightower's continued attempts to court Brienne and failing in all of them because Brienne is in love with Renly and stays away from other courtship attempts because of past bad experiences.

ShireenxTrystane Martell who meet at the Citadel and their relationship continues to develop from there overcoming the difficulties of their family grudge.

And others that I can think of.

I'm going to make it clear. This will be a fic with Queen Shireen awakening dragons after being cured of greyscales.

Robert dies, Ned loses his head the war starts between North/Riverlands/West/Crowlands and while that's happening the Reach, Stormlands and Dorne are too busy wondering what to do with Shireen awakening dragons.

In the future Daenerys will accept that despite her origin and family legacy what she can do in Essos is much more than in Westeros and bid farewell to Shireen as equal queens who will possibly unite their bloodlines one day.

And young Griff ends up roasted.

Characters you really relate to (Day 3 of “Seven Days of Top 7”)

Today, 6th of December is the third day of “Seven Days of Top 7″ - a week organized by Book Roast on Youtube - here’s her video today [x]. (Also the link to her video announcing the week if you want to join in [x])

So today, I bring you characters I really relate to. There aren’t many I relate to, that’s always something I find hard to see in books, so this was particularly hard to do.

Cath Avery from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, the first book I’ve really identified with a character and it was so special to me to read about someone like her - to feel that there are people who obsess about things like I do, that feel nervous about the same things I do, it’s a book that made me feel like I’m not alone. Also I lent the book to a friend, she didn’t love it as much as I did, but her reaction was definitely that she understood why I loved it

Shireen Baratehon from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin, now this is mostly fandom inspired, because Shireen is a minor character and we don’t know as much about her as I would want. But as asoiaf characters, she’s the one I feel closest to, being smart, loving books and being curious, I do feel like she would more easily follow her curiosity than I would…

Drusilla Blackthorn from “The Dark Artifices” (”Shadowhunter Chronicles”) by Cassandra Clare, she’s the first character in this universe that I identify a little bit more and it’s still not fully, but I do in some way. Everything she feels about her body rang so close to heart and I really liked that. And while I do not like horror movies, her passion for them reminds of my passion for other fandoms :) So yeah, I really hope there will be more Dru on the following books and series.

Georgie McCool from Landline by Rainbow Rowell, this would be more my future self than the present, but she’s so much of who I dreamed to be 

Chris from Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, this is just a few things Chris says and feels, that I quite identified with (like I said I have a hard time finding characters I relate to, so I’m just going with small things now)

Elena from Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell, there’s a pattern you see - this one is about a girl obsessed about Star Wars – can you see where I fit? (Actually need to get this short story back from a friend, because I really want to reread it)

Mary Hawkins from Dragonfly in Amber, I'm not even sure about this one, but I want her to be my best friend, so I guess there’s something in common there

Day 1 [x]

Day 2 [x]

Queen of the Stormlands (WIP)

Still not sure what to do about the shading and highlighting but at least I am liking the setup. 

Rickon Stark:

He's based on this design of him, in which Rickon never cuts his hair (as he promised he wouldn't, not until he'd get his mother back, and well, we all know how that went). Like Shaggydog he grows up wild and ruthless, and I like the idea of him being almost barbaric, almost wilding, but with a streak of kindness thanks to Osha. 

I also like the idea that he (and Shaggydog) takes a great interest in Shireen and ends up following her to the Stormlands where he'll take up the post as Shireens personal guard.

I like to give him an axe rather than a sword, because he's fucking Rickon and Rickon uses fucking axes! YEAH!
