#this is absolutely an invitation to contradict me and be like ohhh this exist totally. give me the recs

[hell-heron]

Don't like to be like buu woe nobody cares about my special snowflake fandom interests but me etc but the poll made me think about this. It's something I think about A LOT that as far as I can tell from my perusal of the tag @alleyskywalker is the first person in the English fandom to write any sort of escape attempt or even desire of it for Theon and I'm the first person to make an AU about it even though pre-canon adjusting to Winterfell bb Theon fic is like the second most popular subgenre that exists. It's insane to me. Like in literally any other fandom it would be a common trope at best and a stock formulaic angst motif in every twee little kidfic as a nice contrasting precursor to fluff at worst. We all really want this boy to be kidnapped and happy about it :(((
