#🥰 I'm trying so fucking hard ti be patient

[pressure-change]

What a waste...

[collegeboysam]

personally I love your fic because it doesn’t fall into cliche, I love that your Lucerys is jealous it feeds me. The list of suitors for Luke is a little tired and a bit of a Twitter meme so not telling you what to do but I’d hate for your fic to fall into a few loud voices that push for the same tropes over and over.

Thank you soo much loving the story and letting me know! 🥰🥰 It really means a lot and keeps me excited to continue updating it!

I personally don't mind cliches, as I think if something is good then it's worth repeating many times, in many ways. I like about 5 thropes and it's all I consume on repeat across all my interests hahahaha so I'm a cliche enjoyer for sure, can't turn on my people 😌. But I appreciate the compliment and thank you dearly for it, since I know you mean it in possitive way 💕💕💕

The rest of the reply got super long so I'll throw it under a "read more" to not clog the timeline:

As you saw, Luke is quite jealous too and there will be more of it, so hopefully you'll continue to enjoy that side of him 😏. He's just so much better at hiding it (so far), he's way more patient than Aemond, but he also has his limits, since he's never had to deal with Aemond showing interest in anyone. Aemond is not paticullarly interested in courting and wooing. As a man of those times, he does not need to, what he wants is power and strenght, not a wife. (Besides, we know he's obsessed with Lucerys, that's where most of his sexual desires stem from, as almost all of the women he has slept with looked like Luke in one way or another.) He would have only gotten a wife if it had served him to obtain something he wanted, but being part of the small council put him in a way better position. Marrying a woman won't give him a state nor a castle, so there is no need to do it. For Aemond, in this storyline, a wife would have only been a bother before the main plot started.

But Alicent is obviosly quite interested in the matter lol and you can be sure she will be pushing for it lmao she's Hand of the Queen, too, which makes it easier to chat ladies into approaching him (she knows how her son is, she's aware Aemond won't go out of his way to start any pleasantries.) Aemond might do certain things to entertain his mother's enthusiasm on the matter, even if he means nothing of it, but Lucerys doesn't know that :)))))) and sooooo many high borns are coming to King's Landing...and perhaps instructed to make the most of the ocassion by the head of their houses. Yes, the Queen's son is the one to officially get bethroted and the one with the Velaryon seat and affluence, but there are other Targaryen who are still single (Aemond, Daeron, Joff) who would serve as much of an ideal union. Having a dragonrider in the family is no joke, it's a connection to the Throne, it means eventual children in their bloodline who could potentially have dragons one day. Targaryen rarely marry out of the family for that reason, is a great chance to try to get tied to one of them.

Many are coming to King's Landing for Lucerys, but you know how Westeros is. Other interests are afoot and Luke is not gonna fucking like it hahahaha

I gotta tell you tho the second part of the message reads as being judged on America's Next Top Model or Drag Race and it gave me a good laugh (in a good way). Tyra Banks pulled my photo at the end but I gotta watch it next week for the "who wants to wed and bed Luke for personal gain" challenge 😌.

The list a little longer than the two characters I answered for, since the anon wanted to know for Dalton and Cregan particullarly, I only named those two. Cregan won't persue Luke and Dalton will, so that's as far as I went into it. Oh, and a Martell character! But I guess it's not too hard to figure out who it could be by the timeline the story is set into. Didn't add anyone else to the answer since many are originally minor characters in asoaif (but will be relevant in the fic) since I guessed it's not that interesting to know that Amaury Peake, Gwayne Hightower or Ser Erwin Lannister, a knight, will be appearing and having important roles. Can't imagine they got many fans who will get hype to read about them in a Lucemond fic hahahaha but hopefully once I post scenes where these and other "less known" characters appear and interact with the main characters, it will gain people's interest all the same.

I don't really know which characters are more common to ship on twitter since I'm not on asoiaf/hotd twitter, but this is a bit of a relief for Dalton. I was actually worried people would get mad/dislike the detail of adding him to the pool of characters who would use Luke's situation for their advantage, since...well, Dalton is an A class piece of shit. And interesting one for sure, worth exploring! But still an asshole. We still don't have him in the show so there is no way to do an mix of book!Dalton with whatever they go with for show!Dalton. I only have book version to go with and we know he's suuuch a fucking dick. Interesting and quite the character, but a psycho dickhead all the same. I was kinda nervous people would be uhh bothered, maybe? that some of the suitors are less than stellar. Dalton is a rapist, he has like 22 saltwives he has kidnapped after killing their families, he's obviosly not a lovely match. I know the fandom adores Luke and was sweating a little, worrying people would not like me putting Dalton in his way. If Dalton and Lucerys together are more popular on twiter (which I didn't know omg good for the twitter enjoyers, toxic yaoi lives long and prosper) then it's a relief, since I now think people won't be bothered by Deepsea Dipshit wanting to add Luke to his harem (which lmao Lucerys himself is not gonna he pleased nor flattered about, you saw how he is.)

Don't worry about people maybe influencing the story? If that's what you mean. The main draft is already written from start to end, I go over it and add scenes and make already written parts longer before posting new chapters, but it's already been planned from start to end. So, even if I wanted to, I really can't add things or characters people may like to see, since it wouldn't fit with the main plot nor the ending I have planned. If it turns out that details/characters people hoped to see do happen to be in the story then it's a win-win! But apart from coincidence, I really can't add much to aplease everyone.

Hopefully if people have nice ideas they would like to see, I can with (their permission) add them to future Lucemond fics! But the fate of "You May Bury My Body" has been decided for a while hahaha and hopefully people enjoy the ride 😌

Once again, thank you so much for the ask! As you can see, i enjoy discussing it with readers, sorry I got so carried away replying lmao look at this bible of an answer. And I hope you enjoy the upcoming parts!

Once the entire list of suitors has appeared and interacted in future chapters, I hope you come back and let me know if I passed the vibe check and if it's no longer tired 😜 I really don't wanna be Tiffany being yelled by Tyra that you were rooting for me, everyone was rooting for me, how dare I!

Happy Birthday Ace ♥️ Since I can't give him his present, I'll give it to you! I had to give him something since he's a fellow January Cap 🥰

"Where are we going?" Ace was trying hard not to burn the bandana you had used to cover his eyes as you tugged him along behind you.

A soft laugh filled his ears, "You'll see! Just be patient."

"Because I'm so good at being patient?" Ace's voice was light and sarcastic. "Are we almost there at least, babe? I'm hungry."

You stopped walking and turned back towards your husband, giving him a once over and taking in the nice view of his abs. Stepping close, you reached up behind his head to untie the bandana and give him his sight back. He looked around the little picnic you had set up on top of a cliff, sun just starting to set on the horizon. A soft blanket laid down, several candles sitting around that he would light once the sun went down, a perfectly wrapped gift with a big bow and his name on it, and four baskets of his favorite foods just waiting to be devoured. He turned to you and smiled brightly, pulling you into his arms.

"This all for us babe?" he asked.

"All for you! We don't get a lot of time alone on the ship so I'm taking advantage of it."

"Perfect," he stated, already sitting down and pulling you onto his lap. "And I plan to take advantage of you." Ace winked as he grabbed a basket of food and started putting several things on a plate for you both.

The sun set and candles were lit. The two of you enjoyed the time alone in one another's company, as it was rare. Ace enjoyed the food you'd packed and loved his gift. But his favorite part of his birthday was when you told him you had one more gift and shed the loose white dress you were wearing over your clothes. Wrapped in very strategically placed ribbons and tied up with bows, Ace's expression turned feral as he pulled you into him. The ribbons on your body were torched, turned to ash before you could even blink without a single flame burning your skin.

Ace's mouth was on your skin, always so warm, as he left mark after mark upon flesh. He spent hours worshipping you, folding you into every position he could think of. Trying to take his time enjoying his birthday present, but quickly becoming too impatient, just needing to feel you squeezing around him. He made sure you screamed his name and cried out for him, loud the way you both tried not to be on the ship (albeit sometimes unsuccessfully). He fucked you into the blanket until it became ash just like the ribbons, flames licking at the fabric beneath you as he approached another high. At this point, he was so fucked out, he was at risk of setting the whole island on fire, lost completely in the feel of you and the complete and utter bliss.

When you finally were making your way back to the ship, Ace carrying you on his back as your legs shook when you'd first stood, the sun was starting to rise. He was whistling, the biggest grin on his face. "Best birthday ever babe."

"Really? I'm glad you liked your picnic." Your voice was sleepy as you snuggled your face into his neck, already half asleep.

"Picnic was great," Ace said cheerfully, "But the best present is always you."

Ace accidentally setting fire to his surroundings is now my new favorite thing. And the sleepy piggy back 🥺 brb gonna do melt and scream over how much I love flame flame boy
