Hi! Can you info dump me about your favorite oc you have created in the Targbolton au!?

Also I have to ask, does Duncan and Rana are from that same au too??

hi!!! hmm my fave is rhaenys but i feel like i've already talked so much about her so i'll go with another one 😭 let's go with rohanne!

rohanne is the eldest daughter of aegon and rhona and is the most like the former, in the sense she is aloof, a loner and doesn't really do anything for fun. maybe because she's been the heir since day one, no male primogeniture in this universe, she's always been in aegon's shadow.

remarked as being a very serious child she kind of just wanders around dragonstone before claiming vhagar at thirteen. if the lords of westeros thought they could depose her in favour of her brother or just return to being kings of each region, those thoughts ended the moment she claimed the second largest dragon alive.

by the time she is fifteen she is far more invested in ruling the realm than finding a husband, however when this brought up aegon says that the men that complain can take it up with balerion. he never forces her to marry, stating that while he wishes she would continue her own line, she has plenty of siblings to take her place.

she is a follower of the old gods like her mother and let's just say she nearly starts a war with the faith of the seven if her father and aerion couldn't calm her back down.

she is the one placed in charge of rebuilding the aegonfort by her father. it leads to some interesting changes to the red keep.

after the death of her mother, aegon names her hand of the king and she is basically the regent when he retreats onto dragonstone . in this time rohanne does not marry or have children, even as all her children do.

at the age of 41 she is crowned the first queen of westeros, crowned by her younger brother aerion with vhagar circling king's landing.

and to answer you question all my fics are in different universes! so targbolton is a completely different universe to duncan which is just a robert's rebellion au. honour among fools is just original agot with an oc twist, so doesn't share a universe with duncan or the targboltons.

thank you for the ask <3

9 for the fic writer ask game 👀

9 ⧽. tell us about a wip/idea that you're excited about!

Thank you for the ask! 🩷

Other than the WIPs I've already talked about or mentioned when I hinted at some OCs, the puddle of AUs for Unweathered Love is growing.

After pondering over this ask, I thought about some of the worst possible realities for both Elayne and Gawen, and these What-If scenarios popped up in my head:

• Elayne is arranged to marry Larys Strong

• Gawen gets unknowingly proclaimed as part of Aegon's kingsguard

A marriage between Elayne and Larys is a huge step into power for Larys. He has Elayne in his leverage and thus, due to Elayne's ties to both Alicent and Aegon, a leash on Alicent and Aegon. My girl is straight up miserable, feeling betrayed by Larys and most importantly her father, but can't help but to settle into this reality. The only consolation is that Elayne is able to stay close to Helaena and the family that she's found in the Red Keep. I'm gnawing on this AU a lot, though I'm not sure if I'll write anything big about it.

When Aegon gets crowned, he proclaims Gawen as one of the kingsguard without actually talking to Gawen and planning it behind his back. Gawen is torn between his duty as heir and his love for Aegon, but he's still furious with Aegon. Aegon acted for selfish reasons, wanting stability and loyalty when he sees little of it in his new court. Gawen is torn about what to do, since he wants to be close to Aegon, and that position would allow him to do so, but he has also prepared for the role as heir his whole life. Again, not sure how much energy I'll pour into this concept, but I wanted to share it regardless.

WIP snippet Wednesday Monday

Thank you for tagging me, @mattsmithinanewwig <3 Here's a bit of the OC x Joaquín Torres fic I'm working on, which is part of the my Broken Bonds fanfic universe canon. It's approximately set between the events of Endgame and TFATWS, but I'm still working out BB's timeline, so everything's subjected to change.

“You got an Instagram account?” asked Sam as they headed back to the others. Lionel made space for Joaquín to sit, which he accepted gladly, before he took out his phone. Opening the app, Joaquín looked up the band’s name and found its account. He scrolled through the feed for a bit until the picture of a girl made him stop. Fierce red hair, the greenest eyes he’d ever seen and a kind smile tugging at pink colored lips.

Meet our lead singer, Iris Grey-Summers, 23, New York native!

The caption below revealed that the post had been uploaded three years ago, which made Joaquín realize that he’s reached the end of the feed. From checking out the other band members’ introduction posts, he figured that they’d chosen the name The Greys due to all of its members’ last names having some sort of “Grey” in them, which was actually a cool idea.

“Iris, over here!” Sam waved at someone behind Joaquín, and when he moved to see who it was—because surely, it couldn’t be the same Iris—Joaquín’s eyes widened in surprise. Iris Summers-Grey, a whirlwind of red hair, colorful flowy clothes that made her look like she’d come straight out of an ABBA music video and sparkly cowboy boots, moved effortlessly through the crowd, which huddled to make space for her like the star of the night that she was. She and Sam greeted each other with a hug, then Iris wondered loudly where she could get a chair for herself from, only to immediately be offered five at the same time by mostly men.

“Aw,” she thanked one of them and grabbed the chair, which she placed by the table. While Iris engaged in a conversation with Sam, Joaquín couldn’t help but stare at her, intoxicated by the smell of strawberry mixed with that of alcohol, sweat and pizza that evolved her. Pete must’ve made a joke, because she suddenly threw back her head, laughing, and then, as she tilted her head to the side, she finally took notice of  him.

“Oh, you’re Torres, right? Sam’s told me so much about you, I’m Iris. It’s nice to meet you!” she held out her hand expectantly. Joaquín wondered for a moment whether he was supposed to kiss it as if she were a princess or queen or literally God with at least the people closest to the table staring at her as if she was.

I've been a bit out of the loop on who's already been tagged or not, so @sikudastoner and @rainwingmarvel7if you've shared some snippets already, feel free to ignore the tags or to share some more, I'd certainly love to see it. 🫶🏻

WIP WEDNESDAY/SHOW AND TELL SUNDAY

Thanks for the tags @mattsmithinanewwig and @mermaidslabyrinth!

I am perpetually reworking Chapter 2 of As The Raven Flies, so instead of that I decided to share the more recent part of my outline for the fic (which is over a 100 pages for Season 1 alone lol)

“Later that night, as the celebration slowly dies down, Nadya takes some buttered bread, wrapped in a cloth, and a mug of ale, and sneaks out of the main area of camp to the makeshift prison where Jaime is being held, accompanied by her cousin Ryen and Bartimus. The men guarding Jaime question her purpose in coming to see him, and she lies that Robb wanted her to see how he is doing. She dismisses the guards to drink with the rest of the men, ensuring them that she has Ryen to keep her safe. Once they are alone, Nadya has Ryen open the prison gate and enters with the two men. Jaime looks up at them as they approach him, the confusion on his face quickly vanishing with a wry smile. He asks Nadya if she’s come to gloat. Nadya replies that she’s not, though it’s tempting, as she steps forward and kneels down in front of him. She sets aside the cloth-wrapped bread, holding the mug up to Jaime’s lips. She instructs him to drink. Instead of immediately doing so, he starts to question her, and she doesn’t hesitate to pour the ale into his mouth anyway. He sputters with surprise, but after a few seconds, he allows her to help him drink. Once he’s finished, she holds up the bread to him and instructs him to eat. This time, he doesn’t even try to resist her, obediently eating the bread offered to him. His eyes never leave hers as he does. Nadya can tell that he’s trying to gauge her intentions. Once Jaime has finished eating, Nadya motions Bartimus forward and asks him to hand her the supplies that he is carrying. He obliges, handing her a scrap of cloth and a vial of vinegar. She accepts them, popping the cork on the vial with her teeth and pouring the vinegar onto the cloth. Eyeing her warily, Jaime asks what she is doing. Nadya responds that she’s making sure that his wounds don’t get infected. Unsatisfied with her answer, Jaime presses her further, asking her why she is helping him. Nadya replies that just because he’s the North’s prisoner doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have fair treatment. As she says this, she presses the cloth against a cut on his forehead, and he flinches back with a wince. She gives him a stern look, telling him to hold still. Jaime remarks that she should be gentler, to which she responds that she is no maester, but he begrudgingly does as he’s told. When she is finished, he thanks her. Nadya starts to get to her feet when he adds that she should be more careful with her prisoners, before lunging forward and wrapping his chains around her neck before she has the chance to react, pulling her into his chest and pressing the chains against her throat to cut off her breathing. She lets out a startled gasp, her hands automatically reaching for the chains to get them off, but Jaime’s grip is surprisingly strong. Bartimus backs away, but Ryen steps forward, drawing his sword, but Nadya throws out a hand and orders him to stop. Ryen hesitates, starting to protest, but Nadya insists that he doesn’t want the Kingslayer’s blood on his hands. Amused, Jaime remarks that she’s right. Ryen reluctantly sheaths his sword, though he keeps his hand ready on the pommel. Jaime mockingly asks Nadya if she’s going to save herself, when she could not even do so in battle. In response, Nadya elbows him sharply in the groin and slips out from his grasp as he recoils with a pained grunt. She gets to her feet, casually brushing the mud off her clothes. She reminds him that he is a prisoner of the North and that he would do well to remember it. She warns him that if he had killed her, Robb would not have hesitated to kill him, bargaining with the Lannisters be damned. But, she adds, if he tries to lay a hand on her again, she will kill him herself. She orders Bartimus to finish tending to Jaime and tells Ryen to stay with him. She takes her leave, rubbing her throat as she walks away. A red mark is already forming there from the chains.”

"I write for my own enjoyment"

And

"I'm happy when people interact with my writing"

Are two sentences that can coexist!
