FROZENASTERISM

. . . until the wood erupted with shouts and screams, and hundreds more rivermen burst from the trees, led by that mad boy BENJICOT BLACKWOOD, who would this day earn the name BLOODY BEN, by which he would be known for the rest of his long life.

❛  do people always fall in love with things they can’t have ?  ❜ ❛  my heart tells me this is the best and greatest feeling i have ever had. but my mind knows the difference between wanting what you can’t have and wanting what you shouldn’t want. and i shouldn’t want you.  ❜ ❛  you’ll always be mine, in the back of my mind … i’ll look for you first in my next life.  ❜ ❛  we can’t keep seeing each other.  ❜ ❛  i think we’re just gonna have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that.  ❜ ❛  how can something so wrong feel so right ?  ❜ ❛  i don’t want to be with anyone else. i only want you. no matter the consequences.  ❜ ❛  life would be much easier if i wasn’t in love with you.  ❜ ❛  i think things that i shouldn’t. i dream things that i shouldn’t. i want things that i shouldn’t and it’s all because of one thing; i do care about you.  ❜ ❛  we can’t choose who we fall in love with.  ❜ ❛  i don’t want to keep our relationship a secret anymore.  ❜ ❛  is it worse to know you want something or that you can never have it ?  ❜ ❛  i promised to stay away from you … but i can’t.  ❜ ❛  having something forbidden is exciting, don’t you agree ?  ❜ ❛  how can you simply be friends with someone when every time you look at them, you’re thinking about how much more you really want ?  ❜ ❛  i shouldn’t want to be with you.  ❜ ❛  you have to promise me to keep this a secret from everyone.  ❜ ❛  i wish i could kiss you right now. but there are too many people watching us here.  ❜ ❛  we can’t keep meeting up like this. someone’s gonna find out, and someone’s gonna get hurt.  ❜ ❛  why do we always want what we can’t have ?  ❜ ❛  i can’t just ignore these feelings i have for you.  ❜ ❛  why do you have to be the one i’ve always been looking for ?  ❜ ❛  i hate this ! i hate that we’ve been put in this situation. i hate that there’s no way out of this. but worst of all, i hate that i love you.  ❜ ❛  you’re my favorite mistake.  ❜ ❛  it’s better to cheat than to think about cheating.  ❜ ❛  we can’t fall in love with each other.  ❜ ❛  you can’t be mine and i can never be yours.  ❜ ❛  if only we’d met sooner …  ❜ ❛  love is still love even if it’s forbidden.  ❜ ❛  i told myself i would never kiss you again. i can never keep my word when you’re involved.  ❜ ❛  i wish i had the strength to stay from you.  ❜ ❛  under different circumstances, our love could’ve been like a fairytale.  ❜ ❛  what if anyone finds out about us ?  ❜ ❛  we just have to believe that we’ll find a way to make this relationship work.  ❜ ❛  can we just pretend for one day that everything is gonna be okay ?  ❜ ❛  we always crave what we can’t have.  ❜ ❛  the more i fall for you, the more i hate myself for falling for you, cause the truth is we can never be together.  ❜ ❛  you and i will always be unfinished business.  ❜ ❛  we can’t be together. not now, not ever.  ❜ ❛  i knew the moment i met you that you’ll turn my life into a complicated mess.  ❜

"We can’t keep meeting like this; someone’s bound to notice."

"I’d burn the world down just to hold your hand in public."

"Every stolen glance feels like a rebellion."

"You’re the one secret I can’t bear to keep."

"They’d kill us both if they knew what we’ve done."

"I wrote your name in my heart, where no one can find it."

"Meet me at midnight, where the shadows hide us."

"Your touch is forbidden, but it’s the only thing keeping me alive."

"I saw you in the crowd, and my heart betrayed me."

"They say our love is a sin, but it feels like salvation."

"I left a note under your pillow—did you find it?"

"We’re from different worlds, but I can’t stop dreaming of you."

"The king can have my loyalty, but you have my soul."

"If they catch us, I’ll take the blame. You just run."

"Your kiss is a secret I’ll take to my grave."

"I lied to everyone today, just to see you for a moment."

"The stars know our story, but they’ll never tell."

"I’d defy the gods themselves to be with you."

"They locked the gates, but they can’t lock away my heart."

"Every letter I write to you is burned before dawn."

"You’re my weakness, and I hate how much I need you."

"I saw your shadow in the hall, and my heart stopped."

"They promised me to another, but I’m already yours."

"This ring isn’t just jewelry—it’s a vow we can’t speak."

"I’d rather die than marry someone who isn’t you."

"The law forbids us, but my heart doesn’t care."

"I left a flower by your window—did you know it was me?"

"We’re enemies by blood, but lovers by choice."

"I told them I was alone last night. I lied."

"Your voice in the dark is the only thing that calms me."

"They’ll brand us traitors, but I’d betray them all for you."

"I stole a moment with you, and now I’m addicted."

"The world can’t know, but my soul screams your name."

"I saw you with them, and it tore me apart."

"We’re a secret, but you’re my everything."

"I carved our initials where no one will ever look."

"They’d exile me for this, but your love is worth it."

"I swore loyalty to the crown, but my heart swore to you."

"Every step I take away from you feels like treason."

"I left a mark on your doorstep—do you know it’s mine?"

"They think I’m cold, but they don’t know I burn for you."

"I’d break every vow just to taste your name again."

"The night hides us, but the dawn always betrays."

"Your scent lingers on my skin, and it’s dangerous."

"I told the oracle about us, and she wept."

"We’re forbidden, but the gods themselves envy us."

"I’d tear down the walls of this city to hold you again."

"They say you’re my enemy, but my heart disagrees."

"I stole a kiss, and now I’m a thief for life."

if you are sending to a multi-muse, remember to specify the muse that the sentence starters are being sent for .

“ Don’t make me choose between my duty and you. ”

“ Duty demanded I leave you behind. My heart never did. ”

“ Even magic couldn’t erase what I feel for you. ”

“ I didn’t realise how much I missed you until you were standing right in front of me again. ”

“ I don’t care what it costs - just don’t walk away. ”

“ I hate how much I look for you in every competition. ”

“ I hate you… so why does it hurt when you look at someone else like that? ”

“ I hear your name in every whispered rumour and wish it were mine to claim. ”

“ I keep looking for you in places you’ve never been. ”

“ I kept that thing you gave me. I don’t know why. ”

“ I learned how to live without you. That doesn’t mean I wanted to. ”

“ I never deleted your number. ”

“ I never told you… but I think you knew. ”

“ I still have every letter you never meant for anyone to read. ”

“ I still remember how you take your coffee. ”

“ I think I loved you long before I knew what love was. ”

“ I think part of me will always belong to you. ”

“ I tried to forget you. I failed. ”

“ I was right there, and you still let me slip away. ”

“ I wonder if you ever think about what we could’ve been. ”

“ I would bargain with gods again if it meant keeping you. ”

“ I would tear the world apart just to have you back. ”

“ I would’ve stayed. I would’ve stayed for you. ”

“ If I asked you not to leave… would it change anything? ”

“ If I asked you to run away with me, would you? ”

“ If loving you is a mistake, I don’t want to be right. ”

“ If loving you is betrayal, then I’ve already crossed that line. ”

“ If you were anyone else, I wouldn’t hesitate to destroy you. ”

“ In another life - one without titles or expectations - I would have chosen you. ”

“ It hurts - wanting you this much when I know I shouldn’t. ”

“ It’s strange… how everything reminds me of you. ”

“ I’d choose you. Every time. Every version of this life. ”

“ I’m happy for you. I just wish it had been me. ”

“ I’ve memorised every weakness of yours… including the way you hesitate around me. ”

“ Just give me tonight. I won’t ask for anything else. ”

“ Maybe in another life, this would’ve worked. ”

“ Meet me where no one knows our names - just once more. ”

“ No one knows me like you do. That’s what scares me. ”

“ Say the word, and I’ll forget my place. Just this once. ”

“ Say the word, and I’m yours. I always was. ”

“ Sometimes I think I hear your voice in crowded rooms. ”

“ Take me with you. Anywhere - just not away from you. ”

“ Tell me to stay. Please - just this once. ”

“ Tell me why losing to you feels better than winning against anyone else. ”

“ There’s a space beside me that only ever felt like yours. ”

“ This was supposed to be simple - you, my enemy. Not… this. ”

“ We push each other to the edge—and I don’t know how to stop. ”

“ We were almost something. That’s what hurts the most. ”

“ We were never meant to stand on the same side - and yet here I am. ”

“ When did you stop being just my best friend? ”

“ When I reach the top, I want you there beside me. ”

“ Why wasn’t I enough to make you stay? ”

“ Winning doesn’t feel the same if you’re not there to see it. ”

“ You chose a life that didn’t have room for me in it. ”

“ You crossed my mind today. Like you always do. ”

“ You don’t even know what you do to me, do you? ”

“ You don’t get to come back and pretend nothing changed. ”

“ You feel like something I lost a long time ago. ”

“ You were in my dream again last night. ”

“ You were supposed to be my competition, not my weakness. ”

“ You were the one scandal I would have risked everything for. ”

“ You were the only thing tethering me to my humanity. ”

“ Your name almost slipped out - I had to bite my tongue. ”

“ You’re the one thing I can’t seem to let go of. ”

“ You’re the only thing that’s ever felt real to me. ”

𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐍

“If you keep looking at me like that, I won’t be able to think straight.”

“You should really stop standing that close… unless you’re trying to make a point.”

“Your heart’s racing. Is it fear, or something else?”

“You’ve got no idea what you do to me, do you?”

“Say my name again. Slower.”

“If I leaned in right now, would you stop me?”

“Careful—keep staring and people might notice what you’re thinking.”

“You always smell like trouble.”

“You make it hard to remember why this is a bad idea.”

“If you wanted me to leave, you would’ve made me by now.”

𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒

“You really don’t need to touch me to make your point… but I’m not complaining.”

“Do you always breathe this heavily when someone’s near you?”

“You’re shaking. Is that anger—or anticipation?”

“You shouldn’t be this close to me. I might take it the wrong way.”

“I think you like testing my patience.”

“You don’t have to say anything—your body already did.”

“One step closer, and you’ll find out exactly what I mean.”

“You’ve been staring at my mouth all night.”

“This is dangerous, you know that.”

“For once, I’d like to know what you’re thinking when you look at me like that.”

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒

“Tell me to stop, and I will.”

“You shouldn’t say things like that if you don’t mean them.”

“Do you really think I came here for conversation?”

“There’s something about the way you say my name that ruins me.”

“If I touch you now, I don’t think I’ll be able to stop.”

“You look like sin dressed up in restraint.”

“You’re not helping by looking at me like that.”

“This tension is going to break eventually. Might as well decide how.”

“You always show up when I’m trying to forget you.”

“I should go—but I don’t want to.”

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐍

“You keep pretending it’s just banter. It’s not.”

“Maybe we’re both too stubborn to admit what this is.”

“If I told you I’ve thought about this before, would that scare you?”

“This is dangerous, but gods, it feels right.”

“You’re trembling—don’t tell me you’re not feeling this too.”

“You can’t keep playing with fire and expect not to get burned.”

“Don’t look at me like that. I might forget how to be decent.”

“Every time you leave, I pretend I don’t care. I’m a terrible liar.”

“If this is a mistake, it’s one I’ll make twice.”

“You make temptation look far too easy to love.”

yet none of these losses were felt so deeply as that of jacaerys velaryon, prince of dragonstone and heir to the iron throne. 

𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐍 ; an independent, selective, mutuals exclusive and crossover-friendly portrayal of JACAERYS VELARYON from grrm's fire and blood. based heavily on headcanons with influences drawn mainly from book and, scarcely, the show. must be twenty-one and over to follow. imagined by cae, 25+.

thus far, he couldn't speak of much success, but he refused to mark that down as lack of effort on his end or making use of the wrong tactics, rather trying with the wrong people. aegon and aemond were, in many ways, useless as he'd had to learn the older they'd become and his hopes to get anywhere with them had withered more and more with every passing year until, just recently, they'd, at last, faded completely, daeron too far away to pose a feasible option, too well-protected by that greedy uncle of his that could hardly wait to claim a son for himself, sensing opportunity in his sister's neglected youngest child. and so he'd turned his sights on rhaenyra's boys again, boys that very well could've been his own. boys that could easily pass as his own, with their brown hair and dark eyes; bastards, with certainty, but, unlike before, where the ache of rejection had still been fresh and a fierce jealousy had brewed deep within him, intensified only with each illegitimate child born as a result of the princess’ secret relations with ser harwin strong, he was willing to look past that shameful fact. he was desperate.

the extended arm remained up, orange incessantly held out, insisting, whilst dark eyes flicked past the prince, keeping an eye out for his brothers. normally, they came in a pack of three, or, at the very least, two — jacaerys and lucerys always had seemed to be attached at the hip, ever since they'd been small children, still resident at the red keep, where he would catch glimpses of them from time to time. the absence of him now made him, for one split second, wonder if he was at risk of being jumped and have a dagger plunged in his eye, for rhaenyra's second son was nothing if not known for being utterly unpredictable and equally good with the blade. but he wasn't here, from the looks of it, jace had walked out alone just as criston had found his way upon the grounds and made his way around one of the tall, dragon-shaped towers stretching into the cloudy sky, peering up at the windows — a mistake if he didn't wish to be approached. however, perhaps, if he got through to jace first, alone, the other two would follow more readily.

“ it's an orange. ” no shit, criston. head tilting, he lifted an eyebrow at the boy, “ don't you like oranges? ”
