Theon/Ramsay? Theon/Asha? Euron/Aeron?
thank you for the ask, anon! now let's see...
i'll admit that before writing a fic about them i didn't fully see the vision. now i see it but they still fail to keep maintain my interest for long. mostly because i find ramsay to be... kind of a boring character. he's a narrative tool for theon's story and a narrative foil to jon, but as his own character he doesn't compel me much. i DO appreciate how he affects theon, and their relationship is deeply interesting and psychosexual and creepy (my passions), but ramsay would need to be a tad more developed for me to be fully invested in this couple.
this said, i see you thramsay girlies (gn) and you ARE right. that ship is as canon as braime.
NOW this is something that i ship and so does george, i'll tell you that much. i find them particularly compelling for their strange similaraties with euron and aeron.
will they ever fuck? no, but asha has molested theon and that's like marriage in the greyjoy household.
i DO believe they're endgame in a way, as they will rule the iron islands together and create a better future for their people.
also, few sentences have gutted me like "sister. see, this time i knew you."
"hello, i'm aeron and this my evil rapist brother whom i hate because he abused as a child but when he speaks of conquering the realm in the name of the drowned god i think he's dope actually. but i can't let that distract me from his evils !! i must resist his wiles for i know his true nature."
"hello, i'm euron and i'm an evil murderer rapist who has comitted every crime and i have killed almost all of my brothers. but not aeron. i keep him close and i try to open his mind to my visions and i want him to worship me as his true god. i'm doing this to use him for my evil ritual and not because i need human connection and i want my little brother. i'm too evil for that as you sure can tell seeing my evil pirate costume and listening to my very evil speech."
the forsaken is the best chapter george has ever written. aeron and euron are so twisted together as characters their names almost read the same.
the tragedy of euron is that he believes in nothing greater than himself, and so he thinks there are no consequences for his actions. what if when i was a child i discovered god wasn't real and hurt you beyond repair because of it?
All I had to do was pinch his nose shut. [...] But his eyes grew frantic as he died. They begged me. When the life went out of them, I went out and pissed into the sea, waiting for the god to strike me down. None did.
what if in turn you later decided god was real as a way to escape the pain i caused you?
“It was me who taught you how to pray, little brother. Have you forgotten? I would visit your bed chamber at night when I had too much to drink. You shared a room with Urrigon high up in the seatower. I could hear you praying from outside the door. I always wondered: Were you praying that I would choose you or that I would pass you by?” Euron pressed the knife to Aeron’s throat.
what if i were your archnemesis but for me you were just my silly little brother, whom i loved in the only way i know how to love?
“Kill my own little brother? Blood of my blood, born of the loins of Quellon Greyjoy? And who would share my triumphs? Victory is sweeter with a loved one by your side.”
the fanatic prophet of a god that might not exist, and an atheist who wants to ascend to godhood. a monstrous man who still craves human connection and his favorite victim. they're literally perfect. the best ship george has put to page.
