stray, chapter 10

☀️Heartfelt discussions to make sense of old grudges + some siblings arguing then having more heartfelt discussions as well (plan was to have them argue but they chose for themselves)

☀️Helaena's pov

☀️6k word count

Where we had left the last chapter:

They sat in silence for a minute and then Lyra opened her mouth to talk. Helaena didn’t know if she was prepared. Here it goes, she thought bracing for the explosion.

Where we are now:

“One thing, though: where do I sleep?”

Fuck.

Helaena felt the need to stand up at him once but she managed to control herself.

She smiled, albeit a bit uneasily. "Why, in my room of course!”

Lyra looked around and then smiled brightly.

"I'm gonna sleep in the living room", Helaena added quickly.

Her friend lost her smile as quickly as she had shown it, the disappointment clear on her face.

"Helaena I don't want to steal your bed, I can sleep on the sofa-”

She thought about Lyra sleeping in the same sofa-bed as Aegon and something heavy dropped in her stomach. "No."

"It's not a problem for me, Hel-"

"No, Lyra, you're my guest, you get the bed."

Lyra tilted her head: "Isn't your brother your guest as well?”

Helaena snorted: "Guest? He's my brother. He's just not paying rent, it's already enough."

Lyra smiled and started playing with a loose thread, looking up at her through her lashes.

"Or we could sleep here together." There was a beat of silence. "I mean, it wouldn't be the first time, would it?”

Suddenly Helaena found the pattern on the duvet very interesting. The room felt unreasonably hot.

When she looked up, Lyra didn't look that much hopeful anymore but there was still that spark in her eyes.

Helaena tried to smile but she could feel it sit strangely on her face.

"It would be better not I think…"

She could see her friend deflate and look around the bed, big enough for two people, but Lyra didn't mention, only looked Helaena in the eye and nodded.

The air in the room suddenly felt awkward and embarrassing, Helaena didn't know where to stare or what to do with her hands. So she started rising from the bed: "I'm gonna take my PJs so I don't bother you later-"

"You could never bother me, Hel."

She swallowed nervously, her hands moving thanks to muscle memory as they reached for something comfy to wear.

"Or you know, you and Aegon could sleep here and I could sleep on the sofa, it wouldn't be a bother-"

Helaena turned and felt Alicent's spirit channel through her: "Absolutely not. You're the guest."

Lyra looked at her with wide eyes, the sudden change in demeanor and tone having caught her unaware and then she laughed noisily and uproariously.

"Oh how I missed your humour, Helaena."

She turned around, not entirely sure that constituted as humour.

Aegon was needlessly to say lounging on the sofa looking more like a teenager than a man in his twenties.

Helaena dropped her toiletries on the surface of the small cupboard that served as Aegon's wardrobe as well.

His face was highlighted by many different colours as he doom scrolled.

"Help me set the bed."

He looked up and quirked one eyebrow.

"Are you girls gonna have a girl's night or whatever?”

Helaena thrust a pillow in his face and caught him right into it.

"Ow."

"Stop your dirty mind there." Helaena pointed her finger at him and Aegon scratched his neck.

"No need to accuse me like this."

"I know you, Aegon, it's not a false accusation."

He suddenly stood up and chirply asked her: "So, where are you going to sleep, you said?”

Helaena shook her head and repressed a shiver. His mind is really a filthy place, do I even want to know? The answer was of course, no.

"We're opening the sofa."

He looked down and then looked up at her.

"Are you telling that all this time I've been sleeping on this small sofa-"

"It's not that small, you fit in it!”, Helaena protested but Aegon was playing his part. He raised his hand and looked very serious.

"- when I could have slept in a proper bed?”

"...it's not technically a bed."

Aegon's hands flew in the air: "It's the same thing! Or as close I could have been in months!”

Helaena rolled her eyes. "Don't be dramatic. Also you hijacked my bed for one night."

"I didn't steal it, did I? You still slept in it that night!”

"Can we keep arguing while we prepare the bed?”

NON I DAEMONCILIARI 😭😭😭

FELICE CHE TU ABBIA APPREZZATO LA MIA BATTUTA SILLY PERÒ CI STA, LUI RISCRIVENDO I DIZIONARI (non in maniera positiva)

[sabinesybill]

if corlys was as feminist as some of y'all pretend he is, he would have tried to marry rhaenyra and laenor before trying to marry laena and viserys. if he thought that being a male consort to a queen was as good as being a female consort to a king, he'd be all for it.

laenor and rhaenyra were much closer in age than viserys and laena were. additionally, men don't risk their safety and lives in childbirth, so laenor would have been in less danger than laena as consort when it came to the duty of producing heirs. so, gender aside, corlys had more reasons to match up laenor and rhaenyra than he did to match up viserys and laena from the get-go.

but he didn't do that.

corlys's first choice was to risk his twelve year old daughter's safety, health, and life so that his biological grandson would succeed viserys on the throne. that, to him, was a better option than having his biological grandson succeed rhaenyra on the throne. because he thought that viserys's claim to the throne was more stable than rhaenyra's. and he thought this jeopardized his family's power grab enough to risk his daughter's life over it when he didn't have to.

(also, you can bet your ass that if laena married viserys and had his son, corlys would usurp rhaenyra in a heartbeat. that's his entire reason for wanting to betrothe them.)

tldr: corlys isn't a feminist, he's a power-hungry opportunist. like most men on this show. rhaenyra was his backup option, not his first choice. don't give him points for siding with her when he did it entirely out of self-interest AND as a last resort.

Writing on the train is kinda inspiring me these days?

Snippet of stray, my babies interacting

"How are you so silent?” Helaena shrugged and smiled in that free way that often people didn't like on her: Lyra had told her she looked as if she knew the world's secret and was relishing in the rest of them not knowing, going into life blind as newborn kitten. "Can be useful." Aegon's eyebrow rose, intrigued and askful. "Or you're just extra noisy and don't notice things." "For once that I was making a serious point, Hel." "You're right, please go on. Do tell me how I'm right."

I love them your honour, they're so funny to write!

[sabinesybill]

Just checked and I got to 4433, my god I thought it had written more??

I still need the last part so ok maybe I'll get to 5k (it's not a goal, it's not a run, it's just... I thought I had written more??? I gave the relationships in this chapter much thought, maybe I did more thinking than writing but it feels like I needed to establish and clear up things with myself.)

Snippet because why not:

"I mean, gossip is juicy. Or it should be. Otherwise I find it boring." He threw in the air another chips and caught it on his tongue as if he was a child out during snowfall. Helaena bit down the urge to scold him because she knew she would sound like Alicent. But Sevens didn't their mom have their reasons as well? "Is it then?” This time Helaena took action: she took the pillow she was fluffing and throw it at Aegon's face with more force than she thought. "Ow. Gods, Hel, I wish I didn't find out how handsy you are." "Then you should learn to shut your trap, Egg." He threw his hands up in the air: "Got it, touchy subject. Geez, could have said it so." "You could have guessed from the social clues." Aegon threw back the pillow at her with a raised eyebrow and a scoff: "You talking about getting social clues?” Helaena felt the sting of tears in her eyes - this was the casually, carelessly cruel Aegon she remembered well. But he had changed a bit and she had as well so she looked up at him after swallowing her tears and smiled: "Don't act like you give a shit about them. I might not get them but you purposefully ignore them and pretend not to understand them to do what you please."

Just two siblings arguing and being bitchy and maybe some typos and mistakes that hopefully I will notice and edit later!

2433 words into chapter 10 of stray ! It's still not finished, I guess I'll get to my usual 4k more or less.

It's a funny thing because I used to think that I would have the whole the fic finished by chap 10, instead I don't know where I am, but it's still got many chapters to be written. And it'll be a slow burn for sure, but I don't see this story being written in any other way that would be believable.

The real fantasy is romance, wdym you like or love someone??? I draw the lines at dragons and magic, that's more believable to me.

This ✨extract✨ because Aegon is such a silly little dude in this fic (affectionate):

” Aegon sent a sour look her way and crossed his arms. "I'm not a child. And I think about food because I'm a growing boy."

Unwillingly a corner of Helaena's mouth quirked into a smile and out of the corner of her eye she could see Lyra shaking in silent laughter. "

+

" "Help me set the bed."

He looked up and quirked one eyebrow.

"Are you girls gonna have a girl's night or whatever?”

Helaena thrust a pillow in his face and caught him right into it.

"Ow."

"Stop your dirty mind there." Helaena pointed her finger at him and Aegon scratched his neck.

"No need to accuse me like this."

"I know you, Aegon, it's not a false accusation." "

Cervello bruciato da lezione e commute e quindi vi beccate questo headcanon.

Neapolitan Aegon che chiama Rita De Crescenzo alla festa di compleanno di Alicent pensando che è uno scherzone divertentissimo.

Immaginate Alicent seduta sul palco, bendate, ansiosa ma con tante aspettative, davanti a parenti, colleghi e conoscenti e poi parte la musichetta.

Il silenzio assoluto e attonito dei tanti mentre Aegon fa le riprese.

Rita si avvicina ad Alicent: "CHIAPPARELLA, FIOCCO DI NEVEE, BUON COMPLEANNO!”

Le leva la benda e inizia a cantare. Alicent ad un certo punto trova la forza di sorridere mentre qualcuno nella folla si lascia andare.

(lo shock religioso della frase "tu si indimoniato e t'a mena facc n'terra".)

Dopo essere tornata a casa Rita fa un tiktok in cucina dove dirà quanto è contenta che persona così perbene l'hanno chiamata (ricordiamo che in quest'AU Daemon è ai domiciliari. O daemonciliari I guess. Ovviamente se ne frega ed è alla festa e fa riprese alla faccia tesa di Alicent per farla innervosire. Lui e Viserys ridono assieme perché sono dei grandissimi bastardi, metaforici se non altro.)

E niente, lo posto prima di cambiare idea perché mi fa ridere.
