TELL ME ABOUT ONE OF UR STORIES PLS

OK so like im assuming this is for one of my fics right bc my dumbass cant remember the deets of that post i reblogged

but like I'm assuming most of us here know my Aemond x reader series fic, The Ledan? I already know at least one person I'm gonna kill in that one. Like much later on though, bc I know I already killed someone "off screen," so to speak.

I'm also finding myself doing a shocking amount of original character stuff? Like they're from canon houses, and I've researched their positions in the Dance etc etc, but there are enough unnamed individuals that I can kinda make up whatever I like. Lady [redacted] for example is one to watch out for. I'm just not entirely sure how her motivations are going to play out, because while I know what they are, I don't know how far she's willing to take it. But I do know it's going to kinda fuck with Ledan Dail.

Which also like, I'm still on the fence with whether or not I want to go back and edit what I have to make it an original character series instead of a reader series. It's one thing to do a gender neutral reader, but I think that maybe a series about an explicitly nonbinary reader from Essos and specializing in spirituality miiiight be a little niche for this fandom and in my head they are their own Solid Person that I just so happening to be writing about in second person.

OOH speaking of The Ledan and spirituality, in the fic there's mention of "Others," which are referring not to the ones referred to in GoT but their own thing unique to the culture of Irrasser. They're more akin to Old Gods, or even fae. As Irrasser is a culture of ancestor veneration, they tend to focus more of their praise and attention and energy on their ancestors than on deities and spirits. The 'Others" is a broad catchall for entities that are not ancestors, but one I'm not sure if there will be opportunity to explore. Depends if it comes up organically or not. I assume at some point Aemond and Ledan Dail will have a lovely little heart to heart about beliefs though, so maybe then!
