Name: theromanticegoist

Story: looks like something blooming

Paring: modern Aemond Targaryen x nanny!reader

Warnings: 18+ mature themes.

So, when did you start writing?

I think like most other writers, I’ve written since I was young. When I was a kid, I used to write little books about my pets (printer pieces of paper that I stapled together and drew on with crayon) and as I grew older my writing changed and grew as well.

I was a kid and deeply obsessed with Ursula Le Guin and so (sad but true) it was Harry Potter. I’ve always really loved characters that have that gradient of moral ambiguity and so a lot of those characters particularly interested me (plus there’s just so much you can do there, as a writer).

Where did the plot for looks like something blooming come from?

The ending was sort of the lynchpin for it all - the scene where they’re dancing in the living room - it was what made me want to write it in the first place. I knew vaguely of what I wanted to write around it, the tone and the vibe that I wanted to effuse it with - a lot of those both came from Tender is the Night, which it borrows it’s name from.

I had a smattering of scenes here and there - that moment where Aemond tells the reader about what happened to his eye, the small bits and pieces of their daily routine, but by and large a lot of it was written as I was going - it just felt right.

Can you explain your interpretation of Aemond. What drives him? Why is he the way he is in LLSB?

I try to never stray tooo terribly far from canon Aemond (obviously tweaking has to be done here and there to make him palatable and conscionable but my goal is to always keep his motives believable and consistent).

LLSB Aemond is very much guarded; he’s love starved, with parents who didn’t particularly love each other and a father who doesn’t particularly love him and a family that’s fractured and loveless at large. Love is something he’s always wanted but has always seemed out of reach, and in this modern version of him that need for love, for validation, to be seen and accepted is at the forefront (especially when the want for a dragon and a throne, these “birthright” things that are harder to come by in a modern setting, are stripped away).

I think, too, duty and family play such a large part in his character. He’s a devoted brother, son; he’s only worth what other people view him as and as such he’s always striving to make himself something for the people in his life - all except his son, this person who accepts him and loves him at face value, this person who’s dealings with him are so straightforward and pure. I think the want for that (in my version) is really what sits at the core of his character.

Was there anything in specific that inspired your Reader portrayal?

Not particularly! I try to keep my reader portrays as nondescript as possible, so it’s relatively believable that they could, in fact, be the person reading. Here I was really trying to tailor the reader to Aemond and Aenys, and make them someone that would enmesh themselves in the family well.

Do you feel your Reader complements Aemond well?

I do! I think that both are very dutiful, very family oriented, they both are so fond of people like Aenys and Helaena, who kind of tether them to the Earth; and I wanted to write a reader who kind of fit into Aemond like a puzzle piece - where he’s quick to jump to anger or brash action, they’re very calm and subdued, where he’s afraid or tentative, they’re a little more brave.

I wrote a lot in LLSB about how Helaena and Aemond are mirrors of each other, how they’re both seasons but each at the opposite end, and I think the reader functions similarly like that to Aemond as well.

Is there a possibility for an epilogue?

I’ll be posting a small epilogue fairly soon that shows a little of Aemond, Aenys, and the reader’s future. I want to work on getting out some requests and one-shots over the following weeks and then after that I’ll pick up with a series that I started but never finished - the thread i try to spin

Any favorite fanfiction you would like to share?

I’ve been horrible about keeping up on my fanfic reading lately but a favorite is The Tempest by @aemonds-fire 💜

Q. What does an atrial septal defect (ASD) sound like on auscultation?

.

.

.

.

.

A. Unlike ventricular septal defects (VSDs), an inter-atrial defect causes no murmur itself. However, a number of adventitious sounds may be associated with it.

- wide and fixed S2, due to the larger-than-normal volume of blood that is sent through the right-sided circulation, causing a later-than-normal closing of the pulmonary valve (the second sound in S2)

- a crescendo-decrescendo early systolic ejection murmur from the pulmonic valve heard best at the right upper sternal border (RUSB)

- a rumbling mid-diastolic murmur from blood rushing through the tricuspid valve heard best at the left lower sternal border (LLSB)

Pro-Tip: S2 is only wide and fixed when pulmonary resistance is low; if the defect remains open long enough, the extra blood flow will increase pulmonary vascular resistance, decreasing blood flow into the lungs and across the ASD, eventually resulting in Eisenmenger Syndrome.

This pictures are more than 40 years old and since that time a lot has happened at the Southbank in London. To be more precise, history has been written – and you can not move history. For our Skate Urbanism issue Stuart Maclure and Louis Woodhead told us about the work of Long Live Southbank and how the spot got saved //

I reckon it’s probably about 20years since I bought my first half decent #bmx. Somehow I’ve managed to arrive here without one today though.... #llsb #longlivesouthbank #pilgrimage (at South Bank London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3bouuBHVJy/?igshid=8h701x725twr
