some recs of my favorite fics
book canon fics
Goodbye Means Going Away (And Going Away Means Forgetting) by vixleonard
the original jonsa fic, if you haven’t read it yet you should. it’s from rickon’s pov, where his memories of ned and cat bleed into his memories of jon and sansa, who care for him now.
i’m the dog that ate your birthday cake by dwellingondreams
au where tyrion is the first born so joanna lives for a while. it’s a really interesting exploration of who joanna might have been, as well as what her impact could have been on tyrion.
you're my king and i'm your lionheart by plantagenet
jeyne & robb’s relationship from jeyne’s pov. it’s a great take on jeyne bc it gives her a spine without leaning too hard into the “quirky nurse” route that the show took. heartbreaking of course.
Four Women Who Were Jon Snow's Mother by Baamon5evr
bunch of short drabbles on "what if" situations where various women wind up mothering jon snow - lyanna, cat, elia, ashara. they're interesting character studies & tbh “what if jon snow was raised slightly differently” aus are my weakness
Agony by bubblewrapstargirl
au where theon is brought back to life with all his memories, right when he’s taken away from pike as a hostage. i fucking love this fic because it has so much throbb, theonsa, and theonjon and those are my weaknesesssas but it was abandoned so beware. it's worth the heart break though!!
game of thrones/house of the dragon canon fics
The King's Desire by exax3
the series but throbb are fucking. mostly show canon bc of the ages. made me want to kms but in a good way.
The Black Widow by Its_Rhaenin_Time
ongoing. kind of a tragicomic take on the dance, an au where alicent convinces the small council to put aegon aside as heir, wed aemond to rhaenyra, and install aemond as king as a way of protecting rhaenyra from being killed. it’s excellent and hilarious. technically more pro blacks, but it's not really anti anyone on team green except criston and the lannisters (the rhaenyra/aegon dynamic is sublime). focuses a lot on gender, sex, and cultural dynamics. currently my favorite fic actually, i'm obsessed with it.
The fire of our blood by katbux
ongoing. au where aegon ii reincarnates just as he’s crowned to try to redo the dance. surprised me by going the aegon/aemond/helaena route romance wise (which is the best route), and i like all the politicking in it. less “pro green” than it is “pro aegon, helaena, aemond, and daeron getting extensive therapy” & it’s kind of a mix between show & book canon. really delves into the "can they actually avoid the dance" question.
Breakbones and the Dragonrider by beneathawesternsky
romantic fic that started as an exploration of the rhaenyra/harwin relationship and morphed into an au where they wind up married. very cute, very romantic, love the supporting characters in it, and the way house strong is characterized as a northern house pre-harrenhal and all the “aegon’s vision” stuff in it.

Forgot to mention awhile ago I started Big O-ITS GOOD-and this is something that hasn’t been touched on yet but is that the robot is sentient, which got me thinking about why this aspect is appealing to me in mecha context pasts “already preferring robots with sentience to begin with”.
There is something both intriguing and horrifying about the idea this giant man made machine your piloting that cannot speak at all is still technically aware. It doesn’t have a free will per-say as it needs you, its pilot, to operate it, to make it move and fight, but it still has its own thoughts and feelings. And whether or not this sentience means anything to humanity-if it freaks out other people, if it means anything for the general scale of evolution and the future as technology continues to grow-you still have the duty to pilot this robot because there’s no other way to eliminate the enemies, and only you can do it. Even if you didn’t choose to, the robot needs you as much as you need it.

u said u don’t listen to olivia rodrigo so what music do u like to listen to what’s some of ur fav stuff
ok hi if you were wondering why it took me so long to answer this, it’s bc i was malding over it really bad!! it’s a great question but it’s just one i cant answer without sounding insane bc i listen to SO MUCH music
my fav genres are all variations of funk/disco/groove; rock, shoegaze & metalcore; most varieties of EDM; alt indie; breakcore & hyperpop; bit of phonk; soul; jazz; swing & electro swing; select rnb; hip hop; jazz funk fusion; dark country…
i wracked my brain to come up w 5 fave artists + corresponding songs (but god i could swap my fifth choice for about a dozen other artists, this is so hard)
1. Foreign Language - Nothing But Thieves (alt rock)
2. Dream Dream Dream - Madeon
3. Divinity (ODESZA remix) - Porter Robinson [i know it’s a remix, i cant help but love it more than the original]
4. You Got Some Nerve - Franc Moody
5. Beyond - Daft Punk
i’m gonna look insane for this and i’m so sorry but i decided to also link a playlist of A LOT of my fav songs (dw the playlist was made before ur ask so i didn’t do it to overwhelm you 😵💫)
