cheap spirits

pairing: richard madden x fem!reader

word count: 1k+

warning: alcohol; cigarettes

summary: though not a well-paid job, singing and playing music in the local bar definitely does have its perks - specifically free booze and cute scottish boys.

a/n: i basically stayed up way too late getting nostalgic with ed sheeran songs. also, this is kinda cringy but bare with me, please.

You were standing right outside the bar your friend owned in the small town you’d never had the luck (or courage) to leave. You were already on your third cigarette that night and it definitely was not going to be your last. Some days you thought it was becoming a problem, whereas you could go through whole packages without hesitation on other days. Tonight was one of those times - as long as it felt good and made you feel relieved, it didn’t really matter.

You blew the smoke into the chilly midnight air and watched it dissolve before taking another puff. Just as you raised it to your lips did the heavy metal door open behind you, allowing you to hear your guitarist’s solo clearly for a moment. You turned around to see who was going to give you company and you unintentionally locked eyes with the handsome stranger. You flashed a small smile before turning your back at him again, lighting another cigarette. He shoved his hands in the pockets of his thick jacket, raising his eyes at the starry sky. You wanted to take a quick look at the stranger without him noticing, but apparently you weren’t quick enough. He took a double-take before completely turning towards you, giving you a charming smile.

“It’s beautiful, innit? Such a rare sight, given the fact that the skies here are covered by clouds most of the year.” The stranger turned his gaze back at the stars, making you look up as well with no actual intention of doing so. Once he decided he’d seen enough, he looked down at you just again and introduced himself.

Kissed by Fire // Chapter One

Prologue

Summary: What happens when the Queen kissed by Ice needs to turn to the Queen kissed by Fire in desperate times? Will the visit of the Dragon Queen cause unintentional anger and even unexpected feelings in the Northern Realm? People aren’t joking when they say opposites attract.

A/N: okay this is a hot mess which took me way too long to write but hey after all im writing a fanfic based on grrm’s work amirite. it’s also going to flop but idc

Lyarra woke up with an awful headache attacking her temple, and it felt like her brain was about to burst out of her skull. She looked down at herself and realised she had fallen asleep in her gown which became quite wrinkled the night before. The Queen let out an annoyed sigh and she knew she was causing extra work for her servants, the thought of it making her feel ashamed of herself. 

She tried to stand up on her two feet as slowly as possible, but Lyarra still felt like her body was light as a feather and heavy as all the bricks making up Winterfell, at once. She almost collapsed back on her hard bed which was barely comfortable enough to even sit on it. 

Lyarra knew she had to get herself together, so she took a huge gulp of the glass of water sitting on her desk and she knew it would probably be for the best to call one of her servants and ask for something to treat the hangover but her thought process was cut short by her most trusted advisor, Ser Davos.

HC for being a dragon rider with a huge dragon and meeting Daenerys?

yes hi it’s posted! hope you enjoy xx

[growingstrong-imagines]

meeting daenerys as a dragon rider would include

gif not mine

requested by @saegerphoenix

a/n: i spent wayyy too much time thinking and it’s not even that good so im terribly sorry

okay so you’ve always thought you were the only one, right?

you would never meet any other dragon rider

not like you would be a social butterfly

after all, you’d have a huge bored dragon waiting for you at home on its newest quest of eating anything that could fit its mouth

so obviously, you’d much prefer spending your time alone at home, taking care of your gentle giant

you’d also live in a quite secluded area, hidden away from anyone that might want to get their hands on your “beast”

so, for obvious reasons, you would be shocked when you first met daenerys and drogon

the creature isn’t bigger than your dragon but he sure is a big boi

so you’d also be intimidated

let alone your dragon who’s never even seen another of its own kind

first thing you’d have to do when landed is to calm down your baby

but you’d hear the stranger approaching you two

and oh damn is she gorgeous

you would introduce yourselves and daenerys would try to keep her heritage a secret but it couldn’t be more obvious

however, you’ve never cared for that stuff and it makes her feel much more relaxed around you

you’d take a liking to each other

and so would your big bois

you’d tell each other about your own stories and how you’ve become dragon riders

daenerys would tell you about rhaegal and viserion and you would not believe your ears

you always have thought yours was the only living dragon but now that there are actually three more it would be getting a bit too much to comprehend

however, once daenerys would decided she trusts you enough, she would take you back to dragonstone so you could see it with your own eyes

and you would be intrigued

starstruck

the most incredible thing that could ever happen to you

and it would seem that your dragon would quite like dany’s boys

so much so that it wouldn’t even want to leave them when you decided it was time to get back home

it would basically shake you off with every attempt of riding it

and dany would just watch you while giggling under her nose, offering you to stay with her for the night

and maybe forever

and oh god how could you refuse

mothers of dragons :’)

Lyarra woke up with an awful headache attacking her temple, and it felt like her brain was about to burst out of her skull. She looked down at herself and realised she had fallen asleep in her gown which became quite wrinkled the night before. The Queen let out an annoyed sigh and she knew she was causing extra work for her servants, the thought of it making her feel ashamed of herself. 

She tried to stand up on her two feet as slowly as possible, but Lyarra still felt like her body was light as a feather and heavy as all the bricks making up Winterfell, at once. She almost collapsed back on her hard bed which was barely comfortable enough to even sit on it. 

Lyarra knew she had to get herself together, so she took a huge gulp of the glass of water sitting on her desk and she knew it would probably be for the best to call one of her servants and ask for something to treat the hangover but her thought process was cut short by her most trusted advisor, Ser Davos.

“Your brother would like to talk to you, Your Grace,” he announced, bowing slightly. Lyarra simply nodded and told the knight to let Jon inside, then wait for them outside. She recognised the worried looks Davos was giving her when he saw her uncombed hair and wrinkled gown, but she couldn’t bother thinking about it right now. However, Lyarra did start feeling uneasy once Jon closed the door behind himself and looked her up and down with slightly raised eyebrows.

“Are you here to tell me something important or to judge me again?” The Queen snapped and rubbed the bridge of her nose with eyes shut tightly. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled, feeling like an actual mess.

Jon took a step closer with a worried expression on his face. He knew what it felt like to behead someone, though he had got quite used to the blood on his hands by now. However, his sister didn’t have as much experience and still wanted to appear strong, but Jon knew about her coping mechanisms and it worried him more and more, on a daily basis but every time he wanted to talk to Lyarra about it, all he got was annoyed groans and denial. His sister was definitely down on the wrong path, but he knew there was still a chance to pull her back.

Lyarra looked him in the eyes, and she couldn’t keep it anymore. All those weeks and months without touching anyone even in the most innocent way possible made her stone-cold and distant, but still starving for the feeling of a warm body against her seemingly frozen one. She knew that her title was turning her into something she had never wanted to become and that made her terrified and anxious, constantly on the edge, praying to the Gods to send someone who would help her get her real self back.

Lyarra suddenly collapsed into Jon’s strong arms and her brother held her as close as possible, reassuring his sister that she wasn’t alone in this fight. He ran his fingers through Lyarra’s hair and stroked her back gently, so she would calm down and feel at ease just again.

Once it happened, she pulled away from Jon and gave him a tiny smile.

“I’m sorry. It was harder than I thought it would be. And I can’t stop thinking about how much danger might be hiding among the walls of Winterfell. Among the walls of my home,” she said almost whispering while filling another glass with the cold water.

“We’ll work hard to secure the castle even more, Lyarra. After all that have happened, you’ll also need a guard constantly looking after you. And don’t even dare to say no. I know that you are the Queen but I’m your brother and want you safe and sound.” Jon looked at her with one of the most serious expressions Lyarra had ever seen on his face, and she knew it was no place for an argument right now. She simply lowered her eyes and tried to ignore the headache that didn’t want to go away. Eventually, she decided to change the topic. It was way too painful to talk about it right now.

“Does the Dragon Queen still want us to bend the knee?” she asked with a slightly disgusted face and Jon didn’t have to talk to answer her question; his long and deafening silence was enough.

Lyarra let out a chuckle and shook her head, taking another sip of the fresh water that she wished was a cup of great Arbor wine instead. She soon got ashamed of that thought.

“We cannot do that and she just wastes all of our time if she thinks otherwise,” Lyarra said, putting the empty cup down, all the while looking Jon dead in the eyes. Her brother lowered his head and sighed, knowing full well it would take an awful lot to convince his sister to think about other options. Jon saw the good in Daenerys, he saw the potential in her and genuinely thought it would be for the better to seek alliance with the Dragon Queen. However, Lyarra was just as stubborn as their father Ned and brother Robb, and she wasn’t convinced easily about anything, let alone such an important decision, which could influence the lives of thousands if not millions so easily.

Jon stepped closer cautiously, knowing full well how much his sister treasured her personal space. But as she stood there without her heavy crown and flawless gown, Jon realised how vulnerable Lyarra actually was. No matter what anyone said and thought, his sister was still a scared child at heart who had to grow up way too fast. And a part of Jon hated himself for not being there for her to protect her from all the harm that had reached Lyarra while they were apart, but he knew that his sister would be angry with him for saying it out loud, so he kept it all to himself.

Lyarra shook her head once again and forced herself to look the other way, so she wouldn’t see the worry in Jon’s eyes. It was the same bloody look every time they looked at each other, and she was getting tired of it. After all, she wasn’t the helpless little girl she was when her brother left for the Wall - she was the Queen in the North, a grown woman with ambition and cunning. A grown woman who had fought for survival for a big part of her life, who had already learned she was her only true ally.

So she despised that look in Jon’s eyes even though her brother meant no harm. Still, it took Lyarra back to dark places she never wanted to visit again, so it was easier to avoid eye-contact with her brother, even if it meant making him feel bad. After all, she had never learned how to confront an issue in a healthy way.

Finally, when the silence was getting too heavy for both of them, Jon sighed and pulled Lyarra into a tight hug. The girl was surprised at first, so she just stood there slightly shocked of the sudden display of affection from Jon. Then, slowly but surely, Lyarra let her muscles relax and leaned into her brother’s strong body, folding her own arms around Jon’s torso. She unconsciously buried her face in the boy’s chest and it made her feel safe and home. Oh, how dearly she had missed these feelings and finally, they were all there, lighting a fire inside of Lyarra – a fire that was ignited and kept alive by the feelings of love and safety. Just as this fire started had Lyarra realised how cold and icy she had become throughout the years spent alone or in the company of cruel people and traitors. She only needed a pair of safe arms to melt the ice and make her feel human again.

When they pulled away, Lyarra even flashed a weak smile at her brother, who was quick to return the gesture. However, their moment was soon ruined by Ser Davos, who informed Lyarra about the Dragon Queen’s desire to speak to her in private.

Lyarra took a quick glance at Jon, who lowered his eyes and was already holding his breath. He knew full well that his sister had a rather strong personality which not everyone was fond of and he had feared that Queen Daenerys would be too quick to judge Lyarra too without giving her time to warm up to her.

However, Daenerys was quite patient and understanding, some of her qualities which she only reserved for people she greatly loved or respected. As she stepped in the chambers of the Queen in the North, she had to try really hard to toughen up in front of her rival. Or, who seemed to be her rival. Daenerys had no idea what had happened to her and she tried to fool herself by telling herself it was the sweet wine she had had before visiting the Queen in the North. Of course, it was much more complicated than that and a part of her was aware of that.

Lyarra raised her eyebrows to let the Dragon Queen know that she was waiting for her response.

“I’m terribly sorry, I must have got lost in my thoughts. I simply wanted to visit you because we haven’t had the chance to get to know each other, I’m afraid. What you did yesterday- You’ve done it before, haven’t you, Lady Lyarra?” Daenerys cursed herself in her mind for letting such ramble roll off the tip of her tongue.

However, Lyarra cursed the Queen in secret for addressing her as a simple Lady instead of the Queen she was. Still, she managed to force a smile on her face and offered her a seat opposite of her by her desk before answering the Queen’s question.

“I haven’t had to behead too many people so far, if that’s what you’re curious about. But I have had my battles to fight, so I’ve learned to swing a sword the hard way.”

Daenerys suddenly didn’t know how to reply, but she was so desperate not to appear weak or ignorant in front of a possible ally, so she simply smiled and said how much she had always admired warrior queens at which Lyarra simply smirked and turned away, leaving Daenerys disappointed.

“I’m sure you’re already a legend, as well, Your Grace, so please, let’s skip the small talk to you telling me the actual reason you’re here,” Lyarra blurted out, staring deep into those violet eyes. I can’t lie, they’re beautiful, but beauty is lethal.

Daenerys couldn’t ignore the tone the Northern Queen used when saying Your Grace but she also knew she couldn’t let such petty little things get in the way. She had a goal to achieve here but it was getting difficult to keep her composure in the presence of Lyarra Stark. And it wasn’t the fact that it was her territory that intimidated Dany- it was something completely different, a feeling that she hadn’t been able to shake off since she first laid eyes on the Stark girl. As much as it annoyed her, it also made her scared. Scared that it might be the cause of her losing her place on the Iron Throne.

“You see right through me, my Lady. I am actually here to convince you to bend the knee and join forces with me to-,“ but she couldn’t continue without being cut off by Lyarra Stark.

“To help you get the Iron Throne where you could rule over my home? I’m terribly sorry, Your Grace, but I hope you can understand that I simply can’t do that. I can’t decide for thousands. And even if I could, my answer would still be no.”

Daenerys flashed a rather forced smile at the self-proclaimed Queen in the North and thought to herself she’s making it difficult for everyone, but if she wants difficult, let it be difficult.

Hey! Are matchups stills open?

hey

no, sorry, they’ll probably be closed for a while

[growingstrong-imagines]

not a request but would just love to say that i adore your writing and i’m so glad to see you back on tumblr! hopefully you, your family, and friends are staying safe and healthy amidst all this chaos! best wishes.

hello there!

thank you so much for your sweet words! i’m also glad to be back on here and i hope it’ll be a longer stay this time. thank you for everything and take care!!

[growingstrong-imagines]

can I please get a ship? My name is Mishti, and I'm a Slytherin. I'm quite short and petite, but im very hot tempered. I'm ambitious, a little cunning and very loyal, but sometimes I'm also very egotistical. I'm very fair and I have dark hair and eyes. I'm not exactly an introvert, but I don't make a lot of friends. I love reading and writing, and I also like historical things and places. I'm not sure if youre still doing this, but I would appreciate if I get a ship. Thank you, regardless ♡

I ship you with Khal Drogo

Okay, first off, i just love the size difference

You would look incredibly adorable next to Drogo even though you wouldn’t like if anyone pointed that out 

Your relationship would be rather private and no one from the khalasar would know much about you

Drogo would only want them to respect you - and they did

Everyone else would die a terrible death

Behind closed doors tho, you would be hell of a passionate couple from all aspects - it would sometimes even be a competition for dominance

However, you’d work really well together and would barely ever have arguments

For you, Drogo would even be willing to learn your language, so you’d practically teach each other 

Drogo would also adore your looks and he always tell you how you’re the most gorgeous woman he’s ever seen

He would probably be your number one muse and would inspire most of your works

Once he finds out about them, he would be even more motivated to learn the language and would soon become your biggest fan

Drogo would always treat you like the Khaleesi you are and would make everyone pay for ever disrespecting you

a/n: hey there!! sorry for being so late, but i hope you still enjoyed. take care of yourself, sweetie xx

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

I DON’T TAKE SHIP REQUESTS ANYMORE

[growingstrong-imagines]

Hi lovely! I was wondering if I could have a GoT ship please? I'm straight girl, I love reading, singing, acting and working out. I tend to be a bit reserved with strangers, but with my friends I'm bubbly, talkative and a bit crazy, I'm a perfectionist, quite smart and I try to be friendly to everyone but I'm stubborn. My personality type is ENFJ. I love learning new things and I also I love challenges. I´m slow to anger, but I´m ready to protect my friends and family if needed. Thank you!

I ship you with Robb Stark

Aww the best King and Queen the North could ever ask for :))

Robb would probably be straight-up obsessed with you

For him, it would be love at first sight and from that day on, you would be the only girl to have his heart

You would have all nighters spent talking and cuddling (and often much more hehe) 

And he could swear he just falls in love with you all over again those times

Robb would love everything about you, but he’d honestly adore you when you were bubbly and super talkative - he’d just think it’s adorable

And you’d only see him smiling like crazy those times

Your perfectionism would never annoy Robb, but he’d stop you if he saw it getting in the way of your well-being

In times of trouble or simply when you both needed to calm down, he’d run you a bath himself and would join with a book, reading it out loud to you

However, since you’re both quite stubborn and wouldn’t always agree on everything, it would often lead to arguments 

Neither of you would be incredibly fast to make up and it could go on forever until a third party would put an end to it - Catelyn taking on that role usually

But, more often than not Robb would make you feel like the happiest girl on the planet

Now go and make a cute heir finally :))

a/n: hey love!! sorry for being late, i still hope i didn’t disappoint. take care xx

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

hey can i have a ship request? i’m a female, 5’7”, with long and wavy light auburn brown hair, and dark brown eyes. i’m a gemini and an INTJ. i’m a fiery girl, and anything i’m passionate about i fight for ruthlessly. i have a lot of determination and ambition, so i can come off as cutthroat to a lot of people, but once you get to know me i’m a great friend to have around. things i love include sciences, history, mythology, and classic literature. thanks!

I ship you with Gendry

This would be quite a passionate relationship, to be honest

You would probably feel all your emotions on the maximum level and it would also show in your relationship (not always in a negative way tho hehe)

Despite all the difficulties, you would work incredibly well, knowing each other like the back of your hands

Most of the time, you wouldn’t even need to make it obvious that something’s not alright - you would just know by a simple glance at each other

I feel like there would be lots of banter and silly arguments but would almost always make it up to each other within hours if not minutes

Gendry would find you incredibly hot, especially when you had the sparkle in your eyes while talking about something you’re passionate about

Also when you snapped at people for acting stupid

He would also definitely adore your incredible ambition, and would always support all your ideas and plans

Gendry would never fail to make you sure he has your back and you couldn’t be luckier to have someone so amazing in your life

Also, just imagine your midnight dates on rooftops and green fields, staring at the stars and telling each other how much you love each other

a/n: sorry for being so late with your request, too but i still hope you enjoyed it! take care in these trying times xx

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

just dropping by to say that I love youuuu 💘

awww omg you’re such an angel, i love you too, so much xx

[growingstrong-imagines]

Hello! I am curious when your requests will be open again.

hello! requests are open just again for everything but ships. i think they will be closed for a long while :((

[growingstrong-imagines]

Hi! I was wondering if I could get a GoT ship :) I’m female, straight, 5’6 , with black shoulder length wavy hair and dark brown eyes. I’m an ambivert for sure, and a Hufflepuff. I’m super sarcastic and goofy/nerdy, I love classic literature, art, history and I’m also really into sports. Im a bit of a perfectionist, a great listener, a hopeless romantic and a very loyal person + the designated mom friend of my group. Thank you!

I ship you with Podrick Payne

The sweetest couple in the whole of Westeros :))

You would definitely love goofing around, either cheering Podrick up or making him turn as red as a tomato

He would try to stop you those times, but would soon realise there’s no hope - he just gotta deal with being roasted to death by his beautiful girlfriend

As a perfectionist, you’d probably be anxious quite often, which Podrick would soon learn how to handle

He would be your biggest help and the best partner in crime anyone could ever ask for

He would have his own, surprisingly effective ways of calming you down or cheering you up

But if you didn’t want any grand gestures, he would simply bundle you up in a soft blanket and cuddle you all night long

Podrick could also always count on you - you would be the only one who’d know everything about him

And would almost always be the first he shares his happiness and sorrow with

He would also know quite well how loyal you’d always stay to him and Podrick would always stay worthy of your love, making you the happiest girl on the planet ‘til the day you die

a/n: hey! sorry for the long wait, i’m still hoping you enjoyed your ship tho xx take care

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

I DON’T TAKE SHIP REQUESTS ANYMORE

[growingstrong-imagines]

Can I request a match up please? I am a 5'4, chubby, female and chicana. I love kids, crocheting, reading, and absolutely love baking. I'm very passive aggressive, so instead of yelling at you, I'll put salt in your coffee. I am definitely the "mom" friend of the group and will carry bandaids, tissues, or hand sanitizer just in case (you never know lol). I am a very emotional person and will cry if I get yelled at, it's a bad habit. Thank you so much! ♈ INFP-T

I ship you with Jorah Mormont

oh man i’m afraid i gotta borrow some hand sanitizer

Okay, I honestly think you would be the longest lasting relationship in Westeros

You two would know each other the most out of everyone and would probably have a long history as a couple

Everyone would know you’re an item and it would feel so natural, as if you’ve always been together

Because, basically you were destined for each other

You would be one of those few people (if not the only one) who could always cheer Jorah up, no matter the circumstances

You would be his happy place, the person he’d go to if he needed advice, support and love

In return, he’d always make sure you’re safe and happy, and he’d never miss a chance to be with you

You would probably even be able to communicate without words, no problem

You wouldn’t show if you were angry with someone, but Jorah would always feel the shift in your emotions simply by looking at you or being next to you

You two would probably barely ever fight or argue, but if you did, it would be loud and passionate, ending in crying and slamming doors

In the end, however, you’d always talk it out and go back to normal, because you both know how much you need each other in the crazy world you live in

a/n: sorry you had to wait so long for this, i hope it was worth it! have a nice weekend and take care xx

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

I ship you with Sansa Stark

For Sansa, you would be the only person in the world

She would always make sure you know how much she adores you

Sansa would always watch out for you, and would be quite aware of your sensitive spots (both physically and emotionally)

She wouldn’t let anyone to hurt you, and if they did, they would most definitely pay for it

Still, she’d never make you feel like a special case and would never go as far as moming you

You would probably make grand gestures and would always worry about Sansa’s well-being and happiness, but she’d have her ways of calming you down while assuring you she’s just as happy in this relationship as you are

You two would probably love spending time cuddling up in your chamber or dancing around in the great hall when it’s empty

Those would be your most intimate moments when you’d feel the happiest

Sansa is definitely a keeper and you two would rule over the North until the day you die

a/n: hey there! sorry for taking so long, i needed to take a break from tumblr. however, i’m back and will be trying to complete these requests for real now xx
