do you think martin reads fanfic as a guilty pleasure. as someone who would definitely be targeted by the lonely i think he would. solace in fictional people and all of that. and we know books aren’t off-limits to the lonely.

so anyways my point for this is do you think he ever scrolls through AO3 looking for different tags and slowly starts attributing them to the different entities

Martin: Jon, do you think this “hanahaki” thing belongs to The Lonely or The Corruption?

Jon: How should I know, I don’t even—The Corruption.

Martin: Yeah, yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too.

then later y’know you get something like

Martin: Hurt/comfort, angst, sexual conte—okay, okay, uh—cannibalism! Well, that’s obviously The Flesh.

Jon: Following “sexual content”?

Martin: Well—I didn’t write it.

Jon, alarmed: I’d certainly hope not.

i just think it’d be funny. jon’s doing some jon stuff and martin’s browsing fics for fandoms he’s never even heard of

Overhaul: I don't know what to make of you. Magne: Preferably not a corpse. Overhaul: I'm surprised someone hasn't already done that.
