Luffy

Luffy wasn't exactly known to be the 'Sexuality Active' type- Hell most assumed he was still a virgin by most accounts. That was till you joined the crew..

A childhood friend of Luffy you had always been by his side, and of course jumping at the opportunity to join his crew.

It had been- a open secret if you will, that you and Luffy were together in some way. However everyone assumed it was innocent just like the Captian. You two were young afterall so no one expected anything less- However at night when no one was around you and him shared many nights together. That's how you found out you were pregnant- it was a mistake, this wasn't suppose to happen to you.

You were both too young for this.. too dumb and irresponsible, and you had heard his dreams and goals of being the King of Pirates since you were children- you didn't want to risk stealing his dreams from him... so you did what you thought was best, you ran away.

In the middle of the night you took the lifeboat and disapeared in the east blue water- hoping to never be seen again.

That had been 2 years ago- and your life had never been the same.

"Mama!" You snapped from your deep thoughts to look at your son, Who was happily playing with a toy ship and squealing. He looked too much like Luffy, from the dark head of curls to the bright sunny smile- for a 15 month he was quite a hefty kid and knew quite a few words but his current favorite being-

"Ship!" He said excitedly as he held out the toy for you. You smiled and gently took the toy to look over before handing it back to him.

"I see Aoi, Very nice" You saw sweetly, kneeling down to scoop up the toddler and bring him to your hip.

"You know what day it is! Grocery day!" You said cheerfully making the toddler squeal in joy, you doubted he fully understood you but seeing how he ate you out of house and home you made regular trips to the market with him.

After a short walk outside of your tiny home you made it to the pier market. Filling a basket with one arm and holding Aoi who was squirming like no tomorrow and trying to eat the food you were buying- Having to pay for some food you could rip with your teeth to give to him which he happily eats up. As you are almost done with your shopping a loud voice shouts behind you.

"(Y/N)!" You hear before stretched out hands suddently grab you and pull you back by your waist. A yelp escaping you as you were turned around quickly and met with Non other then Liffy staring at you with a wide smile and holding you up.

You could hear the crew staring at you and the toddler in your arms- Your face starting to turn red as you could hear 'So that why she disapeared?'.. 'Didn't know he had it in him-' .. 'Wait does that mean Luffy and (Y/N) f-' However it was quickly quieted as Zoro scolded them all and insisted they go elsewhere which was guided away by Sanji to God knows where.

Luffy stared at you, then his eyes drifted to the child youbwere holding who was looking around shocked and clearly close to crying. Then back to your face, you knew Luffy could be a bit dense but you saw the recognition immediately as he smiled.

"(Y/N) Wanna come with us to eat?" He asked sweetly, his his gaze following Aoi carefully as the toddler stared back at him. Gulping you nodded softly-

Seemed there was no escaping this one...

Zoro

{ So fun fact! The whole Roronoa family line, their names are based off gambling. Like Zoro's name is based off the Word Pinzoro aka 'Snake Eyes' So his son Koro is based off the word Saikoro aka 'Dice' }

So who knew that you and Zoro's little flings could lead to... unforseen consequences- like the infant who was currently nursing from you.

Being a favorite Bartender had a lot of perks, you got better tips- often the customers were nicer and for your case you often got to spend the night with your favorite customer Roronoa Zoro- whenever he managed to find his way into town you and him often taking a tumble in the bed before departing ways with a goodbye shot and a promise of next time.

Well it seemed the last time Zoro had visited you, both of you got sloppy in your use of protection. Which resulted in the 4 day old currently in your arms- Looking down you couldn't help but be amused by it all.. This defiently wasn't in your plans yet you couldn't be mad either, Falling in love immediately with your son the moment he took his first breaths.

As you sat there in bed, still recovering from the rather harsh birth of your boy you heard a knock on the bedroom door, it cracking as you saw Sumi- a coworker and close friend of yours poke her head in carefully. However you noticed the panic in her face rather quickly and raised a brow.

"Sumi? Is everything okay?"

"Y-Yea but uh- (Y/N).. A uh customer wanted to stop by to see how you wrre doing" Sumi said calmly, you raising a brow at how ridiculous it would be to allow a customer to see you in this state- Prepared to chew her put the door opened and you saw why she had done this... there stood Zoro- hands to his sides as he stared at you, still lying in bed with the baby in your arms.

Sumi knew who the father of your son was- which is why you assumed she did this.. suppressing your anger you nodded for Zoro to enter. He walked to your bedside and stood next to the bed- Sumi quickly leaving.

Silence fell over both of you as Zoro stared at the child in your arms. His gaze calculating the last time he saw you before stepping forward, you didn't move as he carefully pulled reached a hand forward and pulled the blanket down that covered the babies face. He only had to look for a second to see the tuff of green hair and his prominent features poke through.

Silence fell again as he pulled his hand away.

"Is it a boy or Girl?.. Whats their name?" He questioned Zoro taking a breath as he clearly tried to keep his composure. His mind clearly traveling a mild a second before closing his eyes..

"A boy.. His name is Koro-" You said calmly. He nodded clearly favoring the name.

"Roronoa Koro....He is clearly mine- in that case You can't stay here then-" He said eventually, your eyes widening in shock at his words as you held Koro closer to you. Your eyes narrowing in warning, as he reached forward again to look at the Infant.

"What do you mean by that" You question sharply, assuming he was going to propose you go on the ship he lived on- which you wouldn't allow a baby on a damn pirate ship.

"Shimotsuki Village.. In the east blue, it is were I was born and raided.. I think it would be safer for you there. I can send money so you and Koro will be more then safe" He insisted- this actually surprising you as you saw the seriousness in his gaze.

"I will also marry you" He stated calmly, looking around frantically as the air froze in your lungs.

"What!?"

Corazon

It had been the first time in many years you hadn't felt shame.. truthfully you had been in a bad place before you had your daughter. A call girl for Doflamingo and his brother Corazon.

You and Corazon actually dating for a brief time and spending nights together, but the violence of that world always made the relationship bittersweet and unfullfilling. Till you found out you were pregnant, you had wanted to keep it under wraps but when a girl who truthfully hated you found out by you being sick in the bathroom immediately told Doflamingo-

Confronting you in private where you were sure you'd meet your end. Till he made sure to confirm the child was Corazon's.. which you admitted to and he forces you to leave- Kicking you out of the village and demanding you disapear before the sunset or else he would make sure no one ever found you.

So you packed everything in a panic and ran- Ran for your own life and your baby. While sad that Corazon would never know what happened to you or his child.. you figured it would be the best.

So you escaped to another village, not far from the place you once called home and started a new. Working in a restaurant you saved money for a small home and supplies for your child. It had been hard but worth it- Especially when you gave birth to your daughter.

Speaking of which-

Pulling from your memories to check on your 3 month old daughter, seeing her fast asleep in her crib as you set to finish dinner for yourself. Humming as you finish chopping vegetables you nearly jump from your skin when you heard a loud knock on the door- Knowing damn well it woke up your child but you rush over anyway to see. Opening the door you see a looming figure blocking the moonlight to you completely and a familiar smell of cigarettes filled your lungs.

"We are here looki- (Y/N)?" You freeze as you immediately recognize that voice, fear striking your heart as Corazon stared at you with genuine surprise stepped back and looked at you fully in confusion.

"What are you doing here Corazon?" You say calmly, Watching how his eyes swirled with questions at the sight pf you. Most likely noticing something was off by your appearance from when you last saw you.

"I should be asking you the same... after all you did walk out" He pointed out- but before you could speak you hear your daughter cry out and you wince. His gaze following you as all you could do was step to the side to let him in.. it seemed easier this way- He walked in fully forgetting his task at him as he marched straight to the noise.

He looked over the crib, taking in the fussy baby girl- how her face strunched up as she whimpered at the air.. Corazon seeing her features noting their similarities needing only to glance back at you once to see you nod.. The confirmation almost seemingly to knock him back before he carefully scoopedbup the little girl and held her close.

"Whats her name?"

"Dulce- Her name is Dulce" You say softly, Corazon smiling at hearing this- chuckling as he gently touched the cheek of his daughter.

"I like it- So this is why you left? If you had told me I would have been thrilled (Y/N)-" You shake your head at this.

"I wanted to tell you but couldnt... it wasn't my choice to leave. It was leave or die" You stress, and Corazon seems to connect the dots instantly. Doflamingo. He slowly hands Dulce to you and nods.

"Im sorry... But I want you to know.. I have a mission to complete- But I promise I will return and we will raise her together" He said calmly, Kissing your cheek and Dulce's who cooed softly and shifted in her sleep.

He smiled at this as he slowly and hesitantly headed for the door, clearly not wanting to leave but forcing himself to anyway for your safety and your guys daughter.

You watched him leave that night, the smell of tobacco still in the air as you held your daughter close- the warmth of his kiss still hanging onto you while you felt your heart sink.

You didn't know that this would be the last time you saw him... that your daughter would grow up never knowing her father.

Batfam Ages:

Okay, there is no such thing as an exact science when determining the ages of the Batfam, but the easiest thing you can do is work of the concrete ages that you /do/ know, and make them fit with canon events to the best of your ability. Now, canon changes all the time—which definitely makes this a challenge, but I’m going to just explain my process for determining their ages and you can disagree if you’d like, or you can use this to write fic like I do where ages are semi important,

Let’s begin. I’m going to give you the arbitrary number of 15, this will be important later.

Dick Grayson:

Depending on the canon, Dick is 8, 10, 12, or 15 when his parents die. All of these numbers will have problems depending on which you pick, but I go for the safe bet of 10 years old. Why? Well, a little known fact is that Dick ends up in juvie after his parents die, and he’s not immediately taken in by Batman. Thus, it takes a little while longer for him to become Robin, which doesn’t immediately happen after he becomes Bruce’s ward anyway, because Batman doesn’t immediately go and spill the beans. Thus, Dick ends up in Bruce’s car at around ten or eleven, but doesn’t become Robin until he’s 12.

Now Dick is Robin up until he’s about 18, when Bruce takes Robin from Dick because it’s too dangerous and Dick refuses to quit. Dick joins up with the teen titans full time, and he’s still Robin for a little while longer until we get Nightwing, aka Discowing, for the very first time at age 19. Simultaneously, while this is happening, a little kid is stealing the Batmobile’s tires.

Jason Todd:

Our beloved street rat Robin, Jason Todd, swings a tire iron at Batman and then gets taken out for fast food. It’s great, it’s cute, it doesn’t immediately lead to his adoption though, either. No, instead Jason ends up in an orphanage that is trafficking children. Bruce shows up one day to check up on Jason, and is made aware of this by his soon to be first adopted son (yeah, you heard me, Dick isn’t adopted yet). They take down the trafficking ring, and Bruce adopts Jason. Jason then becomes Robin at age 13.

Unfortunately for our boy, he was widely disliked by comic fans across North America, DC did a little telephone poll, and by a few hundred votes, DC changed comic history forever by killing off a high profile character what seems like /permanently/ for the first time ever. No resurrections this time. (Hah, right!). Which is to say, Jason Todd has the second shortest run as Robin at just two years, dying at age 15.

Tim Drake:

So then we get Robin numero 3. Tim Drake sees Batman getting darker and more violent and goes y’know, someone should do something about that. He tries talking to Nightwing, but he’s in a bad place with Bruce after learning Jason died via a Newspaper (yeah, Bruce sucks for that one), and tells Tim he won’t be going back to Robin. Thus, lil Timmy Drake gets an idea in his head. He looks himself in the mirror and goes, I can fix him, and then, Tim Drake becomes Robin at age 12.

Tim Drake has one of the longest runs as Robin, with only a mild interruption from a lil blond Bat.

Stephanie Brown:

Stephanie Brown starts off as the vigilante Spoiler, whose whole purpose in life is to spoil the plans of her C-list villain dad, Cluemaster. She meets Robin (Tim), hits him in the face with a brick, and then ends up dating him. Unlike most characters who appear a few times and never come back, Stephanie manages to stick around. She gets pregnant at age 15 (it’s not Tim’s, and no she did not cheat, this happened priorly), she gives birth, the baby is put up for adoption, and she becomes Robin after Tim’s dad, Jack Drake, finds out Tim is Robin and bans him from it. Tim is forced to quit and Stephanie picks up the mantle. She’s clocks in the shortest run as Robin, working with Batman for about two months before Bruce forces her to stop. Tim picks up the mantle again, and Steph goes back to being Spoiler—only to get killed by Black Mask, making her the second “Robin” to die. DC does retcon her death, and we later learn she was only badly beaten and sent off to live in a foreign country before she makes her return.

Jason Todd, Again:

While all this is going on, stuff is happening behind the scenes. Namely, Jason coming back to life. A common misconception here however is how long Jason was actually dead. While I wouldn’t be able to find the panels to confirm it, the true number is a “short” 6 months. Yep, while years passed in the real world, possibly decades, actually, Jason was dead all of 6 months. According to the books, he undigs himself from his grave six feet under (because Superboy punched through the multiverse or something?) and ends up wondering around Gotham as a mindless little zombie. Conveniently, Talia al Ghul stumbles upon her beloved’s lost little bird, and she decides to take him home and train him. He’s with them for a bit, gets dunked into a Lazarus pit, comes back very very angry, is shipped off to the all caste for a bit, and upon his return to the al Ghuls, is informed he’s been replaced by little Timmy Drake.

Jason makes his whole plan, and decides to make a splash by returning to Gotham wearing an old moniker of the Joker’s and taking over Gotham’s underworld. He beheads a few criminals, tries to kill Tim, tries to get Bruce to kill the Joker, and doesn’t really have success in those latter two objectives. That puts Jason at age 19, roughly. We don’t really know how to count the months he was dead.

Damian Wayne:

Shortly after Jason’s unmasking as the Red Hood, Damian Wayne turns 10 years old and beats his mother, Talia al Ghul, in combat. His prize is to be taken to his father and given to him for training. We know definitively that Damian is 10 thanks to this we can measure out the age gaps between the others and get their ages at this point in time. Dick at age 19 became Nightwing, while Jason is made Robin at age 13, so they have a six year age gap. Jason dying 2 years later at age 15 leads to Tim becoming Robin at age 12, they have a 3 year age gap. Tim is Robin for 3 years before Jason comes back and Damian trails after him a few months behind, putting Tim at around 16/17 while Damian is 10. I tend towards 16 instead of 17 because DC stopped aging Tim for a while, so it just makes more sense to pick the lower number. Thus, when Damian is 10, Tim is 16 as is Steph, Jason is 19, and Dick is 25.

Thanks to Damian being quite young, DC has kept an active track of how and when they age him. We know Damian is only with Bruce a few short months before he disappears into the time stream and Dick makes him Robin, and we also know that Damian’s 11th birthday is celebrated after Bruce is reinstated to the proper time. However, DC follows this up by killing Damian and making him the third Robin to die, the second to do so in the suit itself, and he’s dead for a significant number of months. In this time, Dick also dies—as in his heart is stopped by Lex Luthor for a few seconds, and then restarted, after his identity is revealed on live TV. Bruce decides to let the world believe Nightwing died and stayed dead, and Dick is sent off to Spyral to do secret spy stuff for Bruce. There is an issue around here in the “Grayson” run that claims Dick is twenty-one years old, which is ENTIRELY incompatible with the time line I just painstakingly established, and I go ahead and outright dismiss it because it clearly doesn’t work with a majority of canon. While Dick is with Spyral, Damian is brought back to life, and he goes on a year of redemption (which doesn’t actually last a whole year, but I digress). He and Dick meet again, and we move into Rebirth somewhere around here with the conclusion of Spyral and Batman and Robin Eternal.

General Events:

Damian turns 12 presumably sometime during rebirth, although not specified, I do believe Truth and Justice issue #6 to be his 12th or 13th birthday, but I lean towards 12 because of the costumes everyone wears in the issue. Steph is spoiler, Cass is Orphan, Tim is Red Robin, Red Hood has yet to don his solo Outlaw uniform, and Barbara is Batgirl.

I can’t name a specific issue for Damian’s 13th birthday, but it’s canonical that Damian turned 14 in his solo Robin series, Robin (2021) while he was off finding himself before the Lazarus Tournament, and since then, there’s been the Shadow War, Batman Vs Robin, Dark Crisis event somewhere around there, the Lazarus Planet event, Gotham War, DC Knight Terrors, and Beast World event, which catches us up to the modern day world.

Since Damian hasn’t yet turned 15 despite ALL of that going on, and is still for now at least, 14, that means Tim and Steph are 20, Jason is 23, and Dick is 29.

I know I mentioned Cass and Babs, and I would love to give you a proper age for them but I don’t know where to place them in DC canon like I do the others, however people do commonly place Cass roughly around the same age as Jason making her 22 or 23, and Babs tends towards being 6-8 years older than Dick, although that is an age gap DC has been slowly bridging over the years. Still, I put her at 35 years old. I don’t have a reference for Duke Thomas either, but he’s commonly placed as being two years younger than Tim making him 18 currently.

Lastly, I bring back the arbitrary number of 15, given that that is the number of years that separate Dick and Damian, I also use that age gap between Dick and Bruce—meaning that Bruce took Dick in when he was 25, and placing Bruce at 44 years old in main continuity.

Overall Ages Currently:

Bruce Wayne: 44

Barbara Gordon: 35

Dick Grayson: 29

Jason Todd: 23

Cassandra Cain: 22

Tim Drake: 20

Stephanie Brown: 20

Duke Thomas: 18

Damian Wayne: 14

I hope you never regret letting yourself be carried away by your ambition

part 1 of 2

Paul Atreides x platonic!atreides!reader (sister)

Warning: a little angst, mention of character death, mention of sensitive graphic content.

second part can be found here

You felt loved for a few years in your life, a few years. Then your brother was born and you were thrown aside. Your mother, wife of Duke Leto, gave him only one daughter, you. But she was unable to give birth to more children before becoming pregnant became a risk to her life.

To "preserve" her health, your father sent her back to her home planet, but you weren't stupid, he wanted to get rid of something that he no longer had any use for. But you stayed, you screamed and kicked, typical of a child, you begged to stay with your mother, but your father didn't allow it. At that time, you were his appointed heir, Paul was only a few years old baby.

When the time came, you would rule Caladan, sit on your father's throne, and be Duchess of Caladan.

That was it, until Paul turned 15.

"I formally name my first son Paul as my heir, future Duke of Caladan." your father informed in front of his army. "Atreides!"

The crowd of soldiers shouted 'Atreides' back. You were on a platform facing them, Paul was on your father's left side, Jessica was on his right side, you were on Paul's side. You kept your head down throughout the speech, it was too humiliating. You saw Paul turning his head slightly to look at you, but you didn't dare look back.

You felt Paul reach out his hand and try to hold yours, but you pulled yours away and closed it into a fist tightly.

When the naming ceremony was over, you were the first one out of there.

Despite being publicly humiliated and thrown aside, you tried to see the positive side: now you could go live with your mother. You hadn't seen her since your 20th birthday, that was 5 years ago and your father didn't let you go visit her. If you became duchess, you would bring her back to Caladan and you would be together forever, but now that Paul was the heir, you had another option.

Your thoughts were interrupted by a servant informing you that your father wanted to have dinner with you. Biting back the urge to roll your eyes, you thanked him and headed towards the dining room.

You pretended not to care when you saw that it would be just the two of you for dinner, Lady Jessica and your brother would not be present.The only ones present besides you two were the servants. Your father smiled widely as you sat down in front of him.

"My little princess." he tried to pull your hand away to kiss it, but you pulled back.

"I don't like it, you know." you sighed.

He took a deep breath and passed his hand over his forehead.

"I suppose you are dissatisfied with your brother's appointment." he began. "But we both knew this time would come, my dear, Paul is my first son."

You remained silent, took a sip of wine and looked anywhere but at him.

"If it makes you feel more satisfied, you can visit your mother, you miss her, right?" he tried to take her hand again and this time he succeeded.

"Of course, daddy, of course I miss the woman who gave birth to me, who I've been deprived of seeing my entire life." you felt your neck heat up from the growing anger. "But that doesn't make up for the fact that my birthright was taken away from me."

"I already explained to you how things-"

"I'm the oldest! I'm the daughter of the lawful wife, Paul is a bastard." you let go of his hand and looked at him with wide, teary eyes. "It was supposed to be me."

"Don't talk like that, your brother loves you." he said, looking disappointed.

You picked up the glass and gulped down the wine.

You knew Paul would come to you when you decided to go for a walk near one of Caladan's cliffs. You sat on the stone bench facing the sea and looked at the immense expanse of water in silence. You heard your brother's clumsy footsteps approaching across the muddy ground, he sat on the bench next to you but you didn't turn your head to look at him. He sighed loudly.

"I'm not a bastard."

Of course, of course this had already reached his ears. The servants were fast.

"I said in a moment of anger." you said.

"I understand you." he turned his face to look at you. "I wanted you to take father's place."

"But not your mother." you turned your calm face to him. "She wants you to be Duke."

"I don't know if that's true, but I didn't want to inherit his place, you know."

You remained silent, Paul sighed again in annoyance.

Paul had tried to get close to you his entire life, following you wherever you went, if you were in one place then he was sure to be there too. You were grateful for that, it made your father pay some attention to you when he went after Paul, but as the years went by Paul became more busy with classes and training, so he stopped following you as often, but here they were you.

"My mother said you miss yours." he said softly. "When I'm duke, you can bring her here, or go live with her, or visit her, whatever you want."

"You shouldn't have accepted that."

"What?"

"Being named heir, you knew it was supposed to be me." you frowned in annoyance.

"It's not like I can deny it, you know that." he defended himself.

"You could have tried to change his mind, you could have denied it for a while." you glared at him angrily. "It was supposed to be me."

Paul stood up suddenly and turned to you.

"My mother is right when she says that your ambition drives you." he took a deep breath. "I love you, I don't want to walk away from you."

Apparently you weren't the only person dissatisfied with Paul's appointment as heir, the servants and some officials were murmuring about it in the halls. About a week later, about a week after Paul's appointment and the discussions you had with your father and brother, a maid entered your chambers carrying a message. A message from the Emperor.

Your father would be appointed to rule Arrakis, Lord Fenring would rule Caladan after he left. You would remain to communicate between Caladan and Arrakis.

Apparently, this message also reached your father and he called you into his office, when you entered, Paul was there and Lady Jessica too.

"Father." you said automatically.

"I assume you have read the Emperor's message." he said and continued when you nodded in agreement. "You will be sent to Kaitain to deal with him and Lord Fenring regarding your stay on Caladan."

"I still don't agree with that." Paul chimed in.

"Paul, that's enough." your father continued.

"I don't agree with that, dad. She should go with us, how can we leave her behind." he looked uneasy.

"It's an order from the emperor, Paul. And I'm happy to oblige." you said, making him turn to you.

Paul left the room with a noise, you sighed and raised your eyes to look at your father and Lady Jessica.

On the day you left for Kaitain, Paul hugged you and was reluctant to let you go. You gently pushed him away and held his face in your hands.

"I'll be back before you can miss me." you smiled and kissed his forehead.

You advanced through the line of people who were going to say goodbye to you and stopped in front of your father.

"Why so much formality? I'll be back before you guys go to Arrakis." you mumbled as he held you tightly against him.

"This is the first time in a long time that you have left Caladan." he said as he held the side of your neck. "Honor the name Atreides."

You pulled away and gave him a tiny smile, then moved forward in line again and stopped in front of Lady Jessica, who also opened her arms to you.

"I hope you never regret letting your ambition lead you." she whispered against your ear.

You pulled away and faced her, swallowing hard.

You finished saying goodbye and entered the ship that would take you to Kaitain. Caladan was a sight for sore eyes from afar. Your planet.

Your planet, your throne, your title.

You gracefully walked to the throne room as you entered the Emperor's Palace. Golden and sophisticated decorations were present in every corridor you passed. When the great doors were opened, you saw him sitting on the golden throne, with Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam on his left side. You walked to the center of the room and bowed until your knees almost touched the floor, then looked up politely.

"Your Grace, it is an honor to be in your presence." you said softly, then turned to the woman. "Reverend Mother." you nodded.

"Come closer, girl." the emperor's calm voice spoke and you obeyed, climbing the few steps that led to the throne.

"Activate silence." Reverend mother's voice came and you saw an almost transparent barrier surround you.

"As previously stated, your father will rule Arrakis from now on." the old emperor informed. "And you will remain on Caladan."

"It's an honor for my family-"

"You were your father's legitimate heir, weren't you?" Reverend Mother interrupted your speech.

"Yes, yes, I was." you frowned in confusion. "But my brother-"

"You will have Caladan and his title, girl. But with some conditions." the emperor spoke again.

"Your grace, I don't understand."

"Your family will be massacred on Arrakis, by the Harkonnen of Giedi Prime, the former lords of Arrakis. You have supporters within your Palace, these supporters will kill Lord Fenring and you will become Duchess, but on the condition that you swear loyalty to House Harkonnen, do you understand?" he said.

Your heart beat faster, your breathing became heavy. You never imagined something like this.

"That is a small price for you to have what is rightfully yours." the Reverend Mother spoke again. "Jessica committed a crime when she gave birth to that boy. If you want the Atreides name to survive, do what is being proposed."

"I accept."

You returned to Caladan the day before your family left for Arrakis. As you stood near the ship to say goodbye to them, you felt your heart sink. Paul stopped in front of you and you pressed him against you.

"Always remember that I love you." you whispered against his ear. “No matter what.”

Paul pulled away and smiled widely, his heart sank even more, but he let go. Your father was the next one you hugged.

Maybe in another life, if you were born a man, he would truly love you.

You saw the ship moving away and held back your tears. Your family would be killed tonight.

As the night passed and the next morning arrived, you received confirmation that your family was dead. Taking a deep breath, you nodded for the next part to be done. Lord Fenring would be murdered.

When his head was brought to you, you nodded and sat calmly on the throne that belonged to your father.

"New ruler of Caladan, Duchess Atreides!" the general you had appointed shouted.

Once again, the small crowd shouted 'Atreides' repeatedly.

"General, plot a course from Ginaz to here, my mother will return home." you said and the man nodded, leaving the area.

Things were as they always should have been.

“How ya feelin today treasure?” Ransom cooed hugging onto his wife from behind, watching as she skilfully gathered all her ingredients for her famous stir fry, one that she was desperately craving. His large hands travelled down to her 6 month bump, his hands smoothing over it gently as she leant back into his chest.

“I’m feeling fine babe, jus a bit hungry but that’s all baby boo’s fault” Y/n laughed, using their newfound nickname for their next baby, their third one and hopefully a girl. Their eldest was Mark who was 15, then there was Reign who was 8, brothers who definitely got their father’s wit and sly personality whilst also having the loving nature of their mother. The perfect combo to Y/n and Ransom Drysdale

“Where are the other two little shits?” Ransom joked kissing her neck softly, swaying both of their bodies side to side as she finished up her cooking, a proud wide smile on her face. “Ransom! If you must know Reign is upstairs writing for his new fantasy book, and Mark I think is out the backyard? Here i’ll get Mark while you get Reign okay?” Y/n beamed turning around and kissing Ransom fully on the lips, a loud smack echoing through the kitchen, her pregnancy glow making her absolutely radiant in Ransom’s eyes. God how lucky was he?

“Yes ma’am” He smirked watching her walk away, not without his hand slapping harshly onto her ass, even after all these years he still found her irresistible. After getting married quite young, even when he was cut from his grandfather’s inheritance, he built a name for himself with Y/n by his side. His rock.

Ransom walked back down the stairs with assurance that Reign would be down in ten minutes, his brows furrowing when he suddenly saw his wife rush in through the backdoor, her face flushed with tears streaming down them uncontrollably. “Baby? Treasure what’s wrong? Tell me now” Ransom rushed out skipping the last few steps, storming to his wife’s side, she was absolutely inconsolable. Partly due to the hormones but clearly something bad had happened,

“I-it’s Mark, Ran” She hiccuped the palm of her hand on her forehead, the other holding onto her waist to ease the back pain. “What’s happened with Mark? Breathe with me baby, follow me” Within seconds Y/n had started to follow the pattern of her husband’s breaths, letting her calm down just that tiny bit more.

“Ran, he’s smoking! Actual cigarettes too, doesn’t he know how dangerous they are? Did I do something wrong? That’s my baby boy” Y/n cried out, her chin wobbling as sobs threatened every time she spoke. Remembering how just seconds prior, she walked out to see her first born puffing away on a cigarette, one thing she had always asked them not to do.

“shh treasure, you go upstairs and i’ll call you down for dinner, i’ll talk to Mark” Ransom said through gritted teeth, if there was one thing he hated, it was seeing his woman cry. The fact that it was his own son? Oh that just made it so much worse.

After making sure she got upstairs alright, Ransom stormed out to the back porch, seeing his 15 year old sat on the swinging chair looking guilty and glum; clearly anticipating his father’s arrival. Now Ransom wasn’t a scary parent, but he was protective and strict, step out of line and he’d be sure to put you back.

“C’mere Markie, now please” Ransom grumbled rubbing his creased forehead with his fingers, watching his son slowly shuffle towards him with his head down. “Where the fahk did you get these son? You know what these can do to you right? I can’t believe you’d do this, you’re barely 16!” He said raising his voice by a little, but not shouting, that’s not how he did things.

“T-they’re my friends Dad, I just thought it’d look cool-“

“Cool if what? You end up sick cause of your lungs and your poor mother and I have to come save you? I thought we told you the consequences of smoking, you know what it done to your mother’s family. I’m so disappointed, you’ve upset your ma and you know she gets emotional now that she’s nearly in her last term”

“I know, i’m sorry, didn’t mean to upset Ma. I just wanted to fit in a bit more”

“Not good enough son, not good enough at all. What are you sorry for?” Ransom asked bending down to his height, his lips held tightly into a line. “I’m sorry for disrespecting both you and Ma, and for putting myself in danger”

“and?”

“I promise not to do it again” Mark said holding his hands behind his back, his father’s old cream sweater hugging his body like a blanket. “Like hell you won’t, now go on and apologise to your mother” Ransom grunted pulling the red faced boy into his arms, kissing him gently on the head before pushing him inside. Not without throwing the cigarettes into their outside campfire.

Slowly following behind Mark, Ransom smiled as he saw Y/n pull their first born into her arms, kissing his face repeatedly as she continuously told him off softly “Don’t scare me like that again, ya hear me?” “Please don’t ruin your body like that baby, took me 9 whole months to make it”

“I’m sorry ma, I really am, please forgive me” Mark said now tearing up, fiddling with the bottom of his mom’s sweater, feeling her fingers wipe away his tears. “You’re my baby, I could never be that angry at you, you just scared me honey” Y/n whispered kissing him on the forehead one last time, then whispering that he and his brother could both go down for dinner first.

Ruffling his brown hair as he walked past, Ransom walked into their shared bedroom, his wife’s arms instantly reaching up for him cutely. “You handled that so well hubs, definitely better than I did” She laughed with tears in her eyes, standing up to fully hug him, his chin resting atop her head as his arms engulfed her tightly. Her strong coconut scent filling his nostrils as she lifted her head to look up at him, placing a kiss onto his chin affectionately.

“Well, we raised them well, s’jus our job to make sure they learn from their mistakes. I’m just glad they got your emotional vulnerability, and I hope our little butterfly does too” Ransom spoke softly, his fingers brushing against her growing stomach, feeling the tiny butterfly-like flutters hitting against his hand. His hopefully, baby girl, kicking against his hand.

“Oh she’ll be just like her daddy, I can feel it” Y/n smirked kissing his lips gently, her lips basically ghosting over his to tease him, giggling when she felt his hand push her into the kiss. Their kiss only being interrupted when they heard their two boys call for them downstairs, their little Drysdale troublemakers.

[dragonbreth]

Brightness| Baby mama AU

You’re freshmen year of high school you started dating a rowdy guy, all he wanted to do was party and have sex. You were a quiet girl, never spoke up about anything that bothered you. Garret was a Junior and you were a freshman, your friends told you not to date him but well enough near the end of your freshman year you found out you were pregnant with Logan.

You were excited but scared, only being 15 at the time you were scared of how you were going to tell you’re parents. It wasn’t your dad you were worried about, it was your mother. Your mother was notorious for being a bitch about this type of stuff but you could completely understand why she would be mad.

Once you told your mom she was actually happy, she was excited to be a grandma even though you were still quite young. By the middle of your sophomore year Logan was born. Logan was the sweetest baby, he had gorgeous brown eyes and fluffy brown hair. How could anyone hate such a cute thing, well Garrett hated him.

Garret wanted Logan to be a girl, he hated the fact of having a son. You didn’t know why but he did. It pissed you off that your baby daddy hated your son so much, but it was no surprise when Garret up and left taking all his belongings and fleeing the town.

Now this brings us to today. You sat in the cafeteria with Logan bouncing up and down in your lap. Logan had finally reached the stage where all he wanted to do was bolt. He begged and pleaded for you to put him down but you wouldn’t cause you knew as soon as he reached the floor he was gone.

You weren’t really in the mood to chase your 4 year old across the campus of the University of Michigan today. Logan finally began to calm down, you sat him down on a small stool hoping he would stay put but of course he took off towards a large table of boys, only stopping to say hello.

Once he stopped it was your ticket to grab him, you snuck behind him and grabbed him. “Put me down!” He screamed loudly “Logan! Inside voice!” You hushed him bluntly.

You put Logan down but held his hand tightly, he danced and twirled under your arms. “I’m so sorry.” You apologized to the group of boys “it’s all good! Your Ryland Knows right?” The dirty blonde boy asked “uh yeah..” you said cautiously.

“I’m Tanner, I’m in your Human Bio class!” “Oh yeah! Nice to see you, I better get him back before he bolts again.” You said politely as you ushered a small wave and walked off with your screaming child

🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠

You and your friends had been invited to a party the hockey team was hosting, this would be your first party of the year so you didn’t know if you should bring Logan. Once you saw the theme was cowgirl/cowboy you saw the perfect opportunity to dress Logan up as Woody.

You ordered Logan and your costumes, you couldn’t be more excited!

Once it was time for the party you dressed Logan up all cute and put on your outfit, posted a few photos and then drove to the party. Walking in the door, the smell of liquor was strong. You questioned why you even thought to bring your 4 year old child to such a outing.

You stood with your friends, sipping on a beer that Logan tried to grab multiple times, soon enough he grabbed your drink so your friend took him to the kitchen with her. “Baby mama!” You heard from behind you, you turned around and saw a tall dirty blonde boy. It wasn’t the one from earlier but he looked similar.

“Baby mama!” He said with a joyful smile looking at you “uh what?” You asked “where’s baby.” He said sadly “logan?” You asked again “yeah, baby.” He repeated “he’s with my friend right now.” The boy made a sad face as you said that “ i was gonna take him” he pouted.

“Give me a second. GIGI!” You screamed, your friend came running with Logan in her arms “what’s up?” She asked out of breath.

“He wants Logan, bring my kid back in one piece please.” You said to the boy before walking off after the exchange.

Random Facts About Gerardo

Bayverse!Leonardo x reader

A/N: Fun fact, I didn’t have Spanish in school, but some of my classmates did. And their teacher? Well, he was named Gerardo and was from Spain. Him and our Faroese physic teacher Petur was two of the best teachers ever… even though we couldn’t understand a word they said😂

Warnings: None💙

With your third child, you and Leo of course had to continue with your theme of Italian names. With your oldest son being named after Rome, and your second born being named “little warrior”, it only seemed fitting to name your third born “spear strength” - Gerardo.

With Gerardo being the  youngest out of three for 10 years, he did gain some “youngest sibling” energy traits. Just as his very light hearted nature, a very charming personality, and an ability to get along with both of his older brothers very easily.

Gerardo getting into an argument with one of his brothers? Rarely. Actually, neither you nor Leo could remember the last time Gerardo got into an argument. You both know it has happened before, but it has been such a long time ago, that that memory has faded with time.

Out of all three boys, Gerardo is definitely the prankster. However, he keeps his pranks light hearted, like placing a fart pillow on your chair light hearted. He once replaced Leo’s katana with a foam sword, so when Leo pulled it from its saya during training with his sons, it gave everyone a good laugh. Even Leo had to laugh.

Just like his best friend and cousin, Luis, Gerardo was born with four fingers on each hand - one more than any of his brothers had. And of course, he used it to flip his brothers off almost daily. But with Luis having been born just a few weeks before Gerardo, neither you or Leo were worried about the extra fingers. It was just a sign that Luis and Gerardo would become very close.

As it was family tradition, Master Splinter gifted Gerardo a weapon when he turned 15, just like had done for all his other grandchildren. Gerardo was not just given one weapon, but two - two kodachi swords. Two short swords that bordered on the edge of being long knives. And Gerardo loved them! They were easy to carry around on his sides and easy to hide. Gerardo’s weapon dream come true!

Gerardo was 10 years old when he became a big brother, and from the moment he learned that you were pregnant, he was excited! For all of nine months he was pretty much jumping around, wanting to meet his new little sibling.

As the other founding member of The Little Brother Club, Gerardo was seen as the other little prankster of the lair. If it was a more elaborate prank that was being pulled on someone in the lair, you could be rest assured that Gerardo and Luis was hiding somewhere with Ragnar as a witness, giggling their asses off with full view of what was happening.

But with the birth of Valentina, there was a little confusion with The Little Brother Club. Gerardo, Luis and Ragnar had hoped that you would have been pregnant with a boy they could add to their club. But with the birth of a girl, they were stumped on what to do. Change the name? The Little Sibling Club or The Little Brother And Little Sister Club? No, that couldn’t work. In the most dramatic way possible, your teen year old and his cousins dismantled their little brother club. But that never stopped them from hanging out and continuing with the same activities as before. Now it was just without a club name.

An AU for you. Aemon, father of Rhaenys, doesn't die but disappears. Jaehaerys goes ahead and disinheirits Rhaenys. Aemon comes back and isn't a happy camper. Thoughts?

It's definitely interesting. In one of my discussions of Jaehaerys and Rhaenys, it was pointed out that it seems Jaehaerys takes everyone - likely including Baelon - completely by surprise, likely on purpose. It fits with the timeline established here; Aemon and Corlys are off in Tarth so Rhaenys is alone at home and pregnant with no one to support her claim besides herself, Jocelyn, and Alysanne and Jaehaerys doesn't have to listen to any of them. Then you have Baelon who may or may not have been suffering an intense amount of grief from the loss of Aemon (and honestly, probably Alyssa as well - it's been eight years but I can't imagine spending eight years grieving and raising your kids only for your brother to die in a freak accident and suddenly you're crown prince is easy to deal with, may even bring some old grief bubbling back up). It's even possible that Baelon wanted to say no but felt he had no choice because Jaehaerys did this whole ceremony in public right as Baelon was getting back from Tarth. And of course, we don't know how Aemon was talking about Rhaenys - she's named after a conqueror, Aemon and Jocelyn never have any other children (it's not even mentioned that they had miscarriages, they just straight up stop at Rhaenys while Alyssa is popping out sons left and right), Alysanne refers to Rhaenys as the future queen. It's possible Aemon argued with Jaehaerys over Rhaenys and didn't tell Rhaenys (wanting to protect her from the fact that her grandfather is an asshole, perhaps) or that it was well known that Aemon and Jaehaerys fought over succession but the gossip was purposefully suppressed and left out of F&B by gyldayn.

What's extra interesting about this is that there's no other example of what the hell you even do in this situation in ASOIAF. Aegon II is born after Rhaenyra is named but Viserys purposefully snubs Aegon because he doesn't like his younger kids. Meanwhile Viserys II is the younger sibling of Aegon II so that doesn't disrupt anything. The closest example we have is actually a future plot point in the books aka whatever the hell is going to happen with the succession in Winterfell, because Jon, Sansa, and maybe Arya and Rickon are getting there before Bran (and even then, you don't have that added issue of, idk, Jon maliciously usurps Bran because he believes a disabled person can't rule, and also usurped like four other disabled people earlier for the same reason so we know it's a pattern of his). So what do you do when the older, former crown prince shows up not just alive and well but incredibly pissed off that his daughter was passed over?

We don't have a lot of Aemon's personality in the books, just little hints here and there. He's known to be cautious but curious. He's incredibly close to Baelon and Alyssa, seems to have been rather in love with Jocelyn. He's known to have been obedient and worked as master of laws. He claimed Caraxes when he was 17, after he's married and named crown prince officially, and he and jocelyn have their first child when he's nineteen years old and jocelyn is a whopping 20 years old (very old considering Alysanne is like 15 when she first gets pregnant and more than one Targaryen girl is like 13). He is well loved by the smallfolk, as much as Baelon the Brave is. And what works in his favor is that Jaehaerys clearly loved and adored his two oldest sons and was devastated by their loss. So when Aemon shows up again, I think it's more likely Jaehaerys is forced to take him seriously. We have the Rogar/Alyssa situation as evidence for this - Jaehaerys clearly values the opinions, input, and intelligence of men over women, even the women of his own family, even the women that support him over those men.

What I think is likely here is that

Baelon backs whatever it is Aemon wants -> I certainly have my suspicions over the type of person Baelon is, but a younger brother cannot usurp his older brother simply because he doesn't like his vibes. Maegor never manages to usurp Aenys after all; it took Aenys' death and Aegon the Uncrowned being under siege at Crakehall for Maegor to get the opportunity to acclaim himself King (and I think it's crucial here that Maegor is Visenya's first born if not Aegon's). Especially given that Aemon isn't all that old; it just seems likely Baelon will agree out of guilt and grief to what Aemon wants out of the succession.

Aemon decides to build an actual case for Rhaenys to inherit and publicly goes against his father -> We know he's cautious, curious, loves his family, and worked as master of laws rather than Hand which makes me think he had a more bookish bent than Baelon. I think this means that Aemon shows up, finds out what's happened, and goes for the formal, logistical route of building a legal case as to why Rhaenys wil remain his successor and eventually become Queen of Westeros. I think it's even likely he'll see this legal route as more respectful of his father too.

Aemon has to shore up alliances for Rhaenys/Laena/Laenor -> In canon, we know Rhaenys gets the Velaryons, the Celtigars, the Manderlys, the Dustins, the Baratheons, and the Starks on her side. If he can get to Matthos Tyrell and Grover Tully, not only can he cancel out the Peakes being shitty in the Reach, he can completely claim the Riverlands, and all he needs to do is stall a few more years so Jeyne Arryn becomes Lady of the Vale and then he's got her on lock too. I think he's got way more of a chance of gaining support than Corlys and Rhaenys do on their own.

The Second Quarrel Gets Ten Times More Quarrelsome -> Listen, all Alysanne ever does is just fuck off to Dragonstone, she never actually attempts to fight Jaehaerys over anything. But if Aemon comes back and goes "mom was right what the fuck is your problem", well well well suddenly Alysanne has a son with actual political power (unlike Aly, whose ruling power was completely stolen from her by Jaehaerys prior to this). Maybe Aemon decides to publicly break from his father for real and sets up shop at Dragonstone or maybe he calls Alysanne back to KL so she can be a menace in front of Jaehaerys' face, but either way, Jaehaerys can't just send Maegelle to gaslight Alysanne into coming home this time because Alysanne has someone who matters (a man) on her side.

Daemon Starts Acting Like Daemon -> I think he starts going off the shits earlier because now it's his own father attempting to push him further down in the succession by handing over the crown to Aemon and Rhaenys. We know Viserys and Daemon idolized their parents but I think his entire character shows us that just because he loves someone doesn't mean he's above throwing a violent temper tantrum.

Viserys might not marry Aemma -> PERSONALLY, if I'm Aemon and I come back home and Jaehaerys has named Baelon crown prince, which makes Viserys second in line, and then Viserys is trying to marry a Targaryen-Great House daughter, I would stop that shit so fast it would give Caraxes motion sickness. And I'm not talking like some Viserra esque "last ditch effort" I'm talking I'm picking fights with every tom dick and stanley that refers to Aemma as Viserys' betrothed, I'm calling in every favor I have to stop this wedding, I'm threatening Rodrik Arryn's sons that if they hand Aemma over I'll use Caraxes to burn the Vale fleet to the fucking ground. If he doesn't straight up start a minor war over this match, he's an even bigger idiot than his mother AND ALL THREE VISERYS KINGS COMBINED.

I will admit given my general "fuck this dude i wish maegor had barbecued him" stance on jaehaerys, i would not call myself The Jaehaerys Understander so I'm kind of...unsure of how he would react? The thing about Jaehaerys is that the only people who push back on his flaws are women (Rhaena, Alyssa V., Saera, Alysanne) and not only does he not have to listen to them because he's king, he can also punish them by completely stealing away any power they have so that he never has to even hear them bitch at him again (and that's exactly what he does by refusing to give Rhaena a home of her own and usurping her, by refusing to apologize to his mother and then forcing her to reconcile with a man who is going to murder her with his dick, making a circus out of traumatizing and sexually humiliating Saera, and then continuously abusing and gaslighting Alysanne throughout the entirety of their marriage btwww!!!!). Jaehaerys can't just disinherit a living Aemon the way he can Saera or banish Aemon to be the castellan of some old haunted castle the way he does Rhaena; he simply has to engage with this issue.

And the thing is - if he figures it's more of a headache to fight publicly with Aemon than just reinstate Aemon as Crown Prince (or, idk make Aemon Baelon's heir so that the line of succession reverts back to Aemon?? idk how this shit works i don't care about the uber rich and their fake rules), what is this man supposed to do when he dies and Aemon goes "anyway Rhaenys is crown princess of dragonstone, i'm king now, suck my dick viserys you shitty ass nephew" whomst is gonna stop him, really, short of starting the dance a few decades earlier?

[yukikoizumi]

You guys… I just realized something SO funny & also interesting.

It would be insane for any legal guardian parent or brother to allow their teenage son/brother to live completely by themselves in a sweet pent house & unlimited funds, add into the fact this teenager is beautiful and very popular wherever he goes because people can see his beauty and charm. And he’s an heir, set to inherit alot of money and a… ‘business’, What if this very attractive very popular teenage boy with no adult supervision does what any horny teenage boy does and invites a crush to his huge penthouse any teenager would ogle at did I mention they are unsupervised? Wouldn’t Father and older brother be worried that this teenager will impregnate some poor teenage girl? And what if no amount of money could force her to terminate the pregnancy? Ruining young He Tian’s life before it’s begun? Why isn’t He Cheng worried about this we (mostly me) might be wondering?….

Because he knows his brother is gay AS FUCK 😭

That man doesn’t even want He Tian smoking you think he’d be chill with his 15 year old brother being possibly sexually active with someone he can get pregnant? OF COURSE NOT. He only allows him this freedom cos he knows if this boy does become sexually active, it ain’t gonna be with anyone who could get pregnant 🥴💀

[horizon-verizon]

Actually, Henry VIII did consider it. In 1525 the fact that it was extremely unlikely that he would have a legitimate son by Catherine of Aragon was staring Henry in the face. He was 33 years old, and his wife was 39. She had given birth to a stillborn daughter in November 1518, when she was almost 33, and had not conceived again. Although there were stories of women giving birth in their early 40s (Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife of Henry II of England, gave birth to the future King John when she was at least 42 years old), in fact the menopause often came in the early 40s at this time. But Henry knew it was not his fault, apart from the fact that the medical knowledge of his time placed the blame for the success of pregnancies and the sex of the baby entirely on the woman, there was also the fact that his mistress Bessie Blount had given him an illegitimate but strong and healthy son in 1519.

His first option in 1525 was to legitimise this son by Bessie Blount. Stranger things had happened, and it might be possible. However, the main method was for the parents to marry and then petition the Pope to legitimise their offspring. He obviously could not do this, for not only was he himself married to Catherine, Bessie (unsuitable to be Queen in any case) was also married, to Sir Gilbert Tailboys, by whom she had 3 children, including two sons. Anyway, on June 18 1525 Henry created his son Duke of Richmond. This title was highly significant, having been claimed by Henry Tudor before he became Henry VII. This does not necessarily mean Henry was seriously considering petitioning the Pope to legitimise the boy, it was intended as a signal to all that he was keeping his options open. It was widely rumoured that he was considering seeking a dispensation to allow the boy to marry his half-sister Mary. However, Mary was only 9 and the boy only 6, so it would be a long time before they could possibly have a child, with the possible problems such as the first child dying or being a girl, then needing to live to be perhaps 17 to rule without a regency, it was too long to wait. The following month Mary was sent off to live in the Marches of Wales with a lavish entourage, but not named Princess of Wales.

His second option was to acknowledge Mary as his heir and try to find her a suitable husband, who would expect the Crown Matrimonial, and to be King, with the crown eventually passing to their son. Given the English aversion to the idea of a foreign ruler, the selection presented some difficulties. Mary was in any case only 9 years old at this time and a valid marriage could not be contracted for at least 3 years.

His third option is a variant of the second, not to name Mary as heir but to marry Mary off as soon as possible to a suitable groom and then wait for her to bear a son who could be named heir. This had a lot of problems, and it is no surprise Henry did not go for it. Firstly Mary was only 9, and was small and young for her age, she would probably not be in a condition to conceive and bear a child for at least 6 years, perhaps longer. Although Henry’s grandmother Margaret Beaufort had borne her only son at the age of 13, she had been a robust specimen, and she had never borne another child, or even, so far as we know, been pregnant. There would have been a serious risk of Mary dying in childbirth and the child not surviving. And then the first child might be a girl. It might be at least nine or ten years before she had a son, and another 15 or 16 before that son would be ready to rule without a long regency which might well bring a return to civil war, too long to wait. Henry could not expect to live another 25 years. It also depended on her being willing to be passed over in favour of her own son, and on the willingness of her husband to forego the crown matrimonial, an unlikely prospect in a suitable groom.

His fourth option was to rid himself of his present wife and seek another. Since he had convinced himself that their reproductive failures were down to her, this presented the best option. It should also be the quickest, and that was important. Kings regularly got rid of an infertile wife with the full connivance of the Pope and married another. Henry was aware that at the time of their marriage questions had been raised about its lawfulness, but in his eagerness to marry Catherine he had simply swept them aside. Now he went back to them.

Writers on the subject, especially novelists, often suggest that Henry only became interested in ending his marriage to Catherine when he passionately fell for Anne Boleyn, but this is not true. He began to explore his options LONG BEFORE any involvement with Anne began, while he was still probably pursuing his affair with her sister Mary. Henry’s break with Catherine of Aragon, and his break with Rome, are often blamed on his love for Anne Boleyn. Novels show a tendency to treat Henry rather like a modern film or pop star, discarding wives at a sexual whim. In fact it was his lack of a male heir which drove this development, and later drove his break with Anne Boleyn. Had Catherine and Henry had a surviving son she would have remained securely queen for the rest of her life. There would have been no vacancy for queen unless Catherine died, in which case Henry would presumably have made another marriage to a foreign princess. And had Anne Boleyn successfully borne a healthy son, again she would have remained queen for the rest of her life.

Aemond x Reader HC

Warnings: None(except for cousin incest 🤷🏽‍♀️)

Word Count: ~960 words

AN:

I know I said I might write something for Daemon, but this came into my head last night. I can’t help it, I have Aemond on the brain🤷🏽‍♀️ I might turn this into an actual full fledged fanfic.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Okay so reader 🧝🏽‍♀️ is Aemond’s half-cousin(her mom is the younger half-sister of Viserys). Her dad is the younger brother of Corlys Velaryon(Vaemond?).

She was basically raised at court and was a childhood companion of Helaena. Her mom died when she was young so Alicent was kinda like a second mom to her.

She was betrothed to Aemond when they were children(maybe shortly after Aemond claimed Vhagar). Got to keep the Valyrian bloodline as pure as possible.

Reader doesn’t have a dragon🐉 Her dragon egg never hatched. She may try to bond with a dragon once the Dance begins though.

She and Aemond married 💍when she was 15-16 and Aemond 18-19. So they’ve been married for about 7-8 years by the start of this story.

Aemond is hard for her to read sometimes. Reader still feels that he is distant despite the fact that they’ve known each other for most of their lives. He’s still very loyal though. Aemond can also be very possessive over her.

By the time the Dance 🐉is about to kick off they have three children. Maybe one girl(their first born?) and twin boys. I feel like they have the names of the old school Targs/dragon lords. Perhaps Visenya, Aerion, and Maegon. Their daughter is betrothed to Aegon’s son and heir. Maybe the reader is pregnant 🤰🏽with their fourth child, but they don’t know it yet.

Lol Aemond is a girl dad, but he is not a deadbeat to his boys cause he loves his kids equally(I’m looking at you Viserys). He loves taking his kids on rides with him and Vhagar. He teaches them high Valyrian, their history, and how to “control” their dragons 🐉 He teaches the boys how to fight⚔️ You know the works.

I feel like this story starts off when Vaemond 👱🏾‍♂️comes to Kings Landing asking to be made his brothers successor. Reader tries to get him to see reason and not rock the boat, but her father doesn’t listen.

Reader is there standing by her husband and in-laws when her father pleads his case. Obviously things go left and Daemon takes Vaemond’s head💀(on Rhaenyra’s orders like in the book). Reader is rightfully horrified. Aemond has to literally carry her away from the scene since she starts to break down.

Aemond is beyond pissed off with the situation himself(though he never had great regard for Vaemond he was still his good father), but someone’s got to keep it together.

Reader is obviously still in shock by the time nightfall rolls around. She does not want to go to family dinner 🥘 . Honestly she just wants to hug and cuddle with her babies and lowkey so does Aemond, but Viserys forces both of them to attend.

At dinner 🍽 Jace tries to ease some of the tension by dancing with her which she reluctantly accepts(cause King Dumb Dumb is still in the room). Jace dancing 🕺🏻with his wife + the Luke 🐷 situation + Vaemond being beheaded = Aemond Strong speech. Reader would have told him to stop but she’s beyond exhausted at this point. Alicent has to be the one that scolds him(like in the show).

When King Dumb Dumb finally kicks the bucket 🪣 that night, reader and Aemond are alerted. It might be stretch, but I’ll say Reader is on the Green 🟢council. Her daughter is set to become the future queen and Alicent considers her an important and trusted person.

She tries to argue for peace, but Otto and Alicent(why did they have to make it seem like Alicent was clueless?) point out what Rhaenyra and Daemon will do to them if Rhaenyra takes the throne. I love Daemon, but you can’t convince me that he wouldn’t have at least made Viserys' trueborn sons and grandsons take the black ▪️ to protect Rhaenyra’s reign.

Reader obviously fears for her husband and son’s safety so she goes along with Aegon being crowned king🤴🏼

Aemond voices to her privately that he’d make a better king, but both are loyal to Aegon. While Aemond is on the hunt for Aegon, the reader finds out that Rhaenys is being kept prisoner in her room. She feels guilty about Rhaenys👩🏻‍🦳 being locked up(she is her aunt)so she goes to free her.

Rhaenys tries to get her to leave 🛫with her. She says that Rhaenyra will be merciful to her and her kids(they are first cousins after). Reader doesn’t trust it(I mean they did behead her father).

Plus she could never abandon Aemond and she definitely could not take away their children from him. Lol Rhaenys does not burst through the coronation(seriously why did they add that?) when she leaves.

When the Green 🟢 council finds out that it was the reader who let Rhaenys go, they are furious (even Alicent, who reader is usually in the good graces of). They need all the dragon 🐉 riders they can get on their side to win this war.

Otto is especially upset. He kinda wants to put the reader on house arrest 🚔, but both Aemond(he’s still pissed but that’s his wife) and Alicent defend her.

Since Aemond is married he goes to Storm's End with a proposal on his younger brother’s (Daeron) behalf. Daeron is still in Oldtown so it’s more convenient for Aemond to make the journey. The Luke situation obviously goes down. Team Black ⚫️ gets pissed off(understatement I know).

Daemon was initially going to go after Aemond’s kids in retaliation for Luke, but they are heavily guarded. You won’t catch Aemond 🧝🏻‍♂️slipping plus he knows that Daemon 🧝🏻‍♂️ will be coming for his kids. So Daemon has settle for Aegon’s kids instead.

The Dance is definitely in full swing now. Both sides want blood 🩸 and to see their side come out on top👑 Reader just wants to see her babies, herself, and Aemond make it out in one piece.

This year, between now and March 14th, read a bit about Caesar (go to Wikipedia, they give a solid overview) before you stab him, instead of relying on the the Shakespeare "for his ambition I slew him." His ambition was feeding people, giving them enrichment, using public lands to build housing. (Also started his career as a prosecutor hunting down white collar corruption, not those who stole to feed themselves.) He was working on a plan to build a rival to the library of Alexanderia. They literally rooted and tried to hunt down the conspirators in the street bc Caesar was always aimed at taking power from the Senate but not for him, for the people. He could have crushed opposition when he returned and instead only brought one Legion across the Rubicon bc he didn't want a civil war in Rome.

Dictator has bad connotations now, but then it was a normal position in Rome -- during times of stress (the one was bc everyone was starving and there was huge unrest), a guy would be named dictator for a decade -- he got the grain moving and fed people plus the other stuff.

He got Cleopatra pregnant and it was used to start rumors he intended to make himself dictator for life and then have that inherited by their child, except there's no evidence he actually wanted ANY of that.

Oh and Brutus? His father had been away on campaign when his mother got pregnant and she was having an affair with 15 year old Caesar. Both Caesar and the mother believed Brutus to be his son and he'd been made aware of that forever. Caesar did not claim him as he had the legal father, husband of his mother happy to claim him, however Caesar shepherded his entire politic career, he was only in the Senate bc of Caesar.

In fact when those opposing Caesar fled when he crossed the Rubicon, Brutus was one of them. Caesar hunted them down but with instructions to not kill Brutus -- when he was captured, Caesar simply took him back to Rome, set him free, and put his ass back in the Senate.

In some reports he fought back until he saw Brutus at which point he pulled his cloak over his face and let them kill him bc he felt he must have failed a man he believed to be his son so badly that Brutus would do this. "Et tu, Brute?" hits different now huh?

And Brutus was the most easily manipulated moron to ever breathe, in that none of this was secret and the conspirators used his resentments over nothing to get him to betray Caesar bc he had Daddy issues.

Think twice before you stab, friends.

Y/n L/n shares details, pics, and heart throbbing memories from Joe Keery wedding weekend.

Y/n L/n The normally private celebrity gave her Instagram followers a sneak peek inside her fairytale wedding to husband Joe Keery. 

In a private ceremony at L’Olivetta, a villa owned by Dolce & Gabbana, in Portofino, Italy on Sunday, May 22. All of their closest friends and family members watched as the couple swapped vows surrounded by wildflowers and dreamy nature. 

Tying the knot with her husband, Joe Keery, wearing a dress described by Vogue as “a custom off-the-shoulder lace bodice embellished with tiny pale pink and white flowers and seed pearls, layered with tulle for volume, and laced for a fairytale look.”

The ceremony was very private and protected for the famous stars, with less than 30 friends and family members gathered to watch the couple. 

Even details of the event were scarce in the days immediately following it. Until Y/n let her fans and the world know by sharing a few photos from her big day.

The first post shows her and Keery exchanging their vows surrounded by their loving family members and friends. 

The 26-year-old actress posted a video of herself walking down the aisle to Lord Huron's "The Night We Met," which she and Keery, 30, thought was the "most romantic love song."

The video gives us enough details of how stunning her dress truly looked in addition to some of the details of her dazzling edgy makeup.

Keery and L/n’s romantic history is like something out of a romantic romcom, when the two first met in 2017 as co-stars during the production of the show “Stranger Things” second season. 

By the end of the season premier, the two actors were spotted around more and more, until their public announcement was posted that they were in fact a couple just keeping it on the low away from the media.

Unbeknownst to their fans, Y/N took to Instagram in 2019 to make a surprise announcement: she was not only pregnant, but she had already given birth to their beautiful son, Graham.

"I'm here with one of the biggest icons of this generation, Y/n / L/n has grown to become a household name since her start in the spotlight of Stranger Things, showing off amazing talents as well as starting her admirable music career, added to being a mother on top of that." The interviewer announced to the camera a very dazzling Y/n standing next to her with a contented smile, adorned in expensive jewelry.

Her makeup look was dark and dramatic with earthy tones that paired well with the main attraction: the dress.

The trailing sheer maxi dress sparkled in hand sewn pearls and different shades of brown beads that covered all of the parts that mattered, with a deep v-line tuck that stopped at the mid of her torso and long flared sleeves that were perfect against her brown skin. 

"Y/n, this is your first music awards appearance. How are you feeling today?"

"Oh, I'm always nervous, but mostly excited to be in the company of so many talented artists. It sort of feels weird not watching from behind a screen." Y/n chuckled, folding her arms to cover her chest; her outfit was already trending on Twitter.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask you, what made you want to break away from just acting in the first place?" The lady leaned in as Y/n nodded her lips, pouting a bit as she thought about the question.

"Honestly, my husband Joe, he makes his own music and I've always just been drawn to everything that he writes. He definitely played as a huge inspiration for pushing me into songwriting; without him, I probably wouldn't even know where to start." Her response was humble, pulling on the heartstrings of all of the fans watching that adored the couple.

Y/n has received nominations for a number of awards for her debut album, after breaking into the mainstream with an ep written with her husband Joe Keery, the musical duo collaborating on award-winning songs including their music videos that had collected 3 billion views all together.

Fans conspired, claiming that the album was a response to the media harassing the actress to the point of hospitalization in 2019, with the hit song, Easy On Me, even reaching global charts.

Y/n struggling with the experience of being a new mother paired with Hollywood's nastiest, the couple unbeknownst separated during the time because of the stress.

In 2022, all secrets were revealed with the release of the song's music video.

Y/n directed a 20-minute short film depicting all the emotions and things she had to go through during and even after her pregnancy. With being thrust into the media spotlight, the actress expressed through her lyrics how it took a mental toll on her in some scenes and even talked about heavier topics like suicide.

Y/n uses her music to show fans how truly unhappy she was in her early days of acting and how she was able to heal with the love and support of her now-husband, Joe Keery, and son.

The media was excited to finally see her perform live for the first time since her parody song in 2017 with the Stranger Things cast, her album being promoted virally online as many of her fans couldn't wait to be brought to tears watching the star get the recognition that she truly deserved.

Racking up nominations for: video of the year, artist of the year, song of the year, best new artist, video for good, album of the year, best cinematography, best direction and best longform video.

"I know that I am personally happy that you’re here. There was a rumor going around that you would even be coming."

"Girl, this LA traffic is a mess. I had to lie in the backseat of a van for two hours so I wouldn't crease my dress and don’t even get me started on the heat. My makeup was melting the entire time. I was thinking about just calling it and telling the driver to turn around, but luckily I had my support."

"Yes, it doesn't get pretty hot here. Your dress is so amazing, by the way, you look so stunning. Was that support that you needed, your husband and cast mates that decided to also make an appearance to help cheer you on?" 

"Oh lord no, it wasn’t Joe. He was in the van with me annoying the hell out of me. It was my son Graham. It's his first award show and—fingers crossed—if I end up winning anything, I would like him to be there to thank him since he’s the entire reason why the album even exists."

"To elaborate, in the very inmate-looking music video for All Night Parking, you had Hollywood hottie Sebastion Stan as your love interest. How was filming some of those scenes as well as how did Joe feel being behind the camera being the one to film those scenes?"

 "He was actually the one that brought up the casting in the first place, but there wasn't really any awkwardness there. The environment in general was just really comforting and I remember we had to do that many times because I kept making Sebastian laugh. It was just all a mess since we were all friends." Y/n answered professionally, staying clear of any negative rumors spreading about her marriage.

"I have just one more question that I know that the fans at home are curious about as well. In your album you talk a lot about your past experiences as well as your break in relationship with Joe, but fans have been theorizing a lot online about your song. Rumor has it, some of the songs may bring up a theme of someone cheating in the relationship or the song was a shade towards actress Maika Monreo, who in the past has had a relationship with Joe. What are your thoughts on those theories? "

After the question was asked, fans watching held their breath, actually surprised that the interviewer would even be disrespectful enough to ask that question to Y/n’s face, the actress sighing, knowing that the headlines would catch up to her at some point.

"Neither actually. The song was actually written about one of my less loyal ex's. I don't write music to spite anyone, nor do I really plan to in the future." The answer came off more stiff, Y/n's tone shifting from friendly to stern at just a snap of the finger.

The interviewer almost crumbling from the weight of the actress's blank stare.

"Of course! Well, I just wanted to feed the fans, you know, we’re all just so excited to see you perform." In the interview, in hopes of saving her career.

Y/n exits away from the frame of the camera with an eye roll, already being used as a meme online.

Oh boy I just kinda, wrote this on a whim uh, I’m sorry lmao

Pairing: Gepard Landau/GN reader

TWs: Implied child neglect, thoughts of cheating, implied age gap (geppie is 36, reader is at least 15 years younger)

Sfw

Gepard Landau, second eldest child of the Landau family and their only son.

The man who commanded respect no matter where he went in the Belobog overworld. Polite, respectful, and a skilled soldier and strategist.

To say expectations for him were high could be the understatement of the century. Especially with his very traditional, and militant father. Who barely even congratulated him when he became captain at 18, the youngest in history, who rarely looked at him before then.

But also;

Gepard Landau, who enjoys growing flowers, and drawing, but it’s not particularly good at either activity. Who is still close friends with Serval. Former crybaby and now, unbelievably, desperately, head over heels in love with the person staring up at him, curious eyes and a confused expression as to why Captain Gepard was staring at them.

“Captain? Is there something wrong?”

“A-ah. No. Continue your training.”

“Yes Captain.”

The warmth in his cheeks makes him want to melt into the ground. He should not be thinking about anyone like this, but especially not you. One of many new and, frankly, unremarkable recruits. Your stance was fine, you knew how to use your weight to your advantage to make up for strength you had yet to build, just as you had been taught. A perfectly average recruit who would grow into a perfectly average soldier.

Yet he found his eyes drawn to you time and time again, his mind rebelling against him and finding its way to you only when it’s the most inconvenient for the captain.

Even if you weren’t a recruit, he’s married. The woman his father picked for him 5 or so years ago now, a perfectly palatable woman. She had no interest in him nor him towards her, but that is the life of a nobleman. He still is expecting not to cheat, to be faithful regardless of his opinion of her.

And yet here he is, trying with all his will to not stare at you, the fresh recruit easily 15 years his junior if not more. That alone made him feel… Something, the fact that he can’t place what is its own beast.

He is Captain Gepard Landau, 36 years old and married, his wife 4 months pregnant. Cornered in a quiet part of the restricted zone by the person his brain had been fixated on for 2 years now.

“I’m done with this little guessing game, Captain. What have I done to make you hate me so much?”

His flesh burns like he’s been set aflame. He can’t tell you he doesn’t hate you, that he loves you more than life itself.

“I don’t hate you.”

“You’re a shit liar, Gepard.”

It’s been a long time since he’d cried, but the pure malice behind your words and the way you spit his name made him want to.

“I’m.. not lying.”

“Then tell me what’s going on. For as long as I’ve been a soldier you’ve been harder on me, and at the same time won’t let me take any important patrols. You clearly think I’m a good fighter or you wouldn’t have me spar with the lieutenants, why can I not go on night patrols, or be on the front lines with the others you put against them?”

Because the thought of you getting hurt makes him feel sick like nothing else ever has.

Because if you died fighting a fragmentum monster he doesn’t think he could ever see one again without sobbing.

“Because I-“

No, no he can’t. Not now, not yet.

“Because what, Gepard?”

The way your voice softened… Maybe he can.

Jack was in New York for an away game which leaves you at home with a 1 and a half year old daughter (Oakley) and a 6 year old son (Finn) all by yourself while being 2 months pregnant . Finn is just like Jack whiny, obsessed with hockey and just over all a mini Jack Hughes, Oakley is more like you, a sweet and caring person who is a totally daddy’s girl. Oakley only being 1 almost 2 doesn’t understand how to deal with her emotions, Finn on the other hand understands what is right and wrong and what the house rules are.

Early on in the day you had said that Finn could watch the game tonight if he helped you clean up the playroom, which he did. So while you were cooking dinner, Finn decided to change the channel on the tv from cocomelon that Oakley was happily watching to whatever channel Jacks game was being broadcasted on. Oakley was not happy at all and just screamed and cried while waddling over to you, you picked her up and asked her what’s wrong “meany over there changed my show” Oakley said while still crying while you were trying to explain to Oakley that it’s okay and that we could just put it on the iPad, Finn yelled “SHUT UP!! I’m trying to watch hockey.” The whole house just went silent, you put Oakley in her bouncer to make sure she would be safe then went over to the tv turned it off then raised your voice to Finn “Go to the corner right now and don’t come out until dinner is ready you don’t talk to me like that and you will not be watching the game tonight” Finn was definitely not happy about that and decided it was a good idea to throw the tv remote almost hitting Oakley. 15 minutes later dinner was ready and that didn’t go well either, let’s just say food ended up on the walls and that was just your breaking point you yelled at Finn to go to his room and give you his iPad, you got Oakley dressed and ready for bed.

While you were trying to clean red pasta sauce off the white walls a tired Jack walked into the house he knew something had happened as soon as he saw your tear stained cheeks, the mess on the walls and the tv remote on the other side of living room with the batteries over the place, he immediately gave you a hug and just sat on the floor with you until you were ready to speak, as soon as you told him the shit that happened in the day Jack was upset with Finn and upset with the fact he wasn’t here to support you. Jack told you to go take a bath and relax while he went to Oakleys room to give her a kiss on the head and tell her goodnight even tho she was already asleep, then he went to Finn’s room as soon as he walked in it was a mess pillows, blankets and stuffed animals being thrown, “hey buddy let’s calm down and lets talk about today” Jack calmly told his son “okay well first mom said I could watch the game and so I went to turn the game on cause it was 2 minutes until puck drop” Finn started explaining “but wasn’t Oakley watching something at the time?” Jack questioned Finn “well yes but hockey is more important than cocomelon” Finn answered “it’s not, if Oakley or anyone is watching something on the tv you ask if it’s okay that you change the channel” “then mom was trying to calm down Oakley because she was crying and I was getting frustrated because I was trying to watch you play and then I just yelled shut up and threw the remote” Finn kept going with the story. Once he finished it was now Jacks turn to talk “ 1 we never ever say those words to people no matter how angry we are 2 we don’t throw things especially near your sister 3 I’m very upset with the way you acted you know better not to act like that so right now you are going to go to apologize to mom then you’re going to brush your teeth and go to bed but you are getting your iPad taken away for the next few days and we aren’t going to see uncle Luke tomorrow” Jack explained as soon as he was done he and Finn went to your room so that Finn could apologize, once he did you gave him a hug and told him to go to bed and that’s what he did.

[daenerys-targaryen]

x

I know the asoiaf fandom has it in their heads that magic is bad evil vile the dragons destruction death but I mean you guys do know that without dragons and Daenerys, the world is literally fucked right? The Others would be 100% unstoppable if it weren’t for Daenerys and her dragons. You’re actively wishing on your faves downfall if you really truly believe that Dany has a single evil bone in her body because without her, without her magic, without her dragons, without her resources, your faves will die.

"But Dany plans on ruling the 7K! which means she is public enemy #1 to all of House Stark because House Stark DESERVES to be independent!!!"

You see this is their immediate argument because they do know that without dany, her dragons and resources their faves will die, but they only care about the fact that since ‘the north must be independent’ -> and ‘dany wants to rule the seven kingdoms’ = dany is bad and must be vilified to the furthest extent.

If you understand daenerys character at all (most don’t), you’d know that Dany has only ever viewed the throne and ruling as something that is her duty as the last living Targaryen. It was not something she wanted. This was something that was thrust upon her when she was sold into a position of power she didn’t want and when all her remaining family members were murdered and killed, leaving her the very last. When Viserys died, she took it upon herself to do what he could not. Again, being 14 years old with no education, dany didn’t really understand the true horrors of what that meant until things were already set in motion. When pregnant with Rhaego, she doesn’t think of herself as sitting on the throne but sets that destiny on her son so that he will rule. Then, when Drogo and Rhaego die, who else would that responsibility have gone to? Once Drogo is gone, Daenerys views the remaining khalassar who chose to follow her as her responsibility; how could she not? How could she look into their eyes an abandon them?

Throughout the series, the crown is heavy on Daenerys shoulders. She would rather sit with her girls and eat fruit by the pool, but thankfully another key aspect of Daenerys character is that she is incredibly selfless. Thankfully, she does rule because not only does she have the heart to rule, but she also has the intelligence and cunning to do so. She's good at it. Not perfect by any means, but she's not awful like the fandom tries to make her out to be. In A Dance With Dragons, “For every [petitioners] two she sent off [from her court] smiling, one left red-eyed or muttering.” 2/3 in favor is a pretty good track record if you ask me 🤷🏼‍♀️

She would love to live happily as a common woman with Daario, even saying that if he asked her to, she would give up her crown for him. But in that same vein, her desire to rest and just be a 15 year old girl is overshadowed by her sense of duty. Not only does she believe is it her duty as the last Targaryen to rule, but it's her sense of duty to protect those who can't protect themselves that motivates her rule. With all of that being said, Daenerys main mission right now is not the seven kingdoms, her goal is not the long night and she has a lot of work ahead of her in Essos.

If Daenerys were just power hungry who wanted to rule the seven kingdoms with an iron fist, she would have left essos and taken it upon herself to do just that in the second book. She would have done anything she could to get to the seven kingdoms and take down her enemies. Just how Viserys would have allowed an entire army and their horses too to rape her to get his throne. But again, she chose to remain in essos as there is still work to be done and people to protect and save.

What is sad is just like in the show, Daenerys will go North and defeat the others and save the world (because it’s her destiny), but these same people who NEED HER AND HER RESOURCES TO SURVIVE THE LONG NIGHT will once again toss her to the side once they have no use for her and vilify her every chance they get because the North Must Be Free! But they don’t even understand Danys motives on why she’s ruling.

Daenerys gets the short end of the stick by not only genuinely being a good person and hero, but also because the very fans of the people she will save twist her into a villain who needs to be destroyed. It’s so messed up. It’s so sad considering at the end of the day, Daenerys is just a 15-year-old girl who’s suffered more than Jesus who has a good heart but these people who claim to be fans of the Honorable House Stark would rather her be crazy and die than anything else simply because they’re threatened by her. Not very honorable if you ask me.

I mean, if you hate her and want her to die just say it? You don’t have to twist her and vilify her to justify your wanting her removed from the story. But I understand that it’s just a way for you to save face from wishing a horrible death upon an ex-child bride who’s just trying to abolish slavery.
