EI love writers like you, so dedicated, who fuel my fantasies and expectations. Girl, I loved every part, everything you post. My love, let's get married because you're amazing.
ONOW LET'S ADDRESS SOME QUESTIONS. What would happen if Alicent were to visit them and see their dynamic? Since the reader mentioned marrying Aemond in the past, would Ormund put her in the... A view of him all the time? And Aegon? I think he would try to take advantage of him and Ormund would appear as a savior for her. I don't know, HELP ME.
DSorry about anything, it's just that this damn autocorrect on my keyboard limits the words and I'm afraid I might be making a mistake.
yes please let us get married <3 are you brazilian? if so EU TE AMO!!
this is SUCH a juicy question!!
so, to discuss what would happen if Alicent were to visit Oldtown and see their dynamic, i think we should set a timeline first. let's say they visit shortly before events of part I of COB.
Alicent's reaction is deeply layered and also deeply conflicted. on one hand, there is intense relief. Alicent sent targtower!reader to Oldtown to be raised away from the chaos of King's Landing. she wanted her to be pious, connected to her Hightower roots, modest, and disciplined. maybe Alicent was trying to save reader from the life she had with Otto and Viserys.
when Alicent sees her daughter, she would see that reader has been raised well. Ormund has been a fantastic guardian and has instilled within reader all the traits that Alicent had wished for her. and Ormund is incredibly courteous to reader in front of Alicent (as he always is in public). so initially, she believes him to just be protective and attentive, as a guardian should be.
but then...the horror starts to seep in. it's small things at first. like reader speaking about something frivalous in front of Alicent and Ormund, and immediately stopping if she notices Ormund's facial expression change. reader asks permission from Ormund for ALL things-- like when to leave rooms, what to eat, what to wear for the next day, where to sit. the worst for Alicent would be when Ormund answers questions for her. Alicent may ask something simple, like if her daughter would like to join her for a visit to the sept, and reader just...looks at Ormund. and he is the one who responds.
Alicent then realizes she has not protected her daughter from repeating her own life. she has sent her daughter right into it.
Otto was, in a lot of ways, very similar to Ormund. he was the one who decided what she wore, where she would go, and of course, who she would marry. Viserys then possessed her. and now, Ormund is doing the same thing to her daughter.
i can definitely see Alicent confronting Ormund privately about this. maybe something about how he has confused his role, a guardian should not be an owner. but, of course, Ormund would throw the accusation right back at her-- she was the one who sent reader away as an infant. she was the one didn't write for months on end. she was the one who chose Ormund as her guardian. so, Alicent has no right to come into Oldtown all the sudden acting like she has a claim to reader.
now, as for Aemond and Aegon...
around Aemond, Ormund ABSOLUTELY would not let reader be alone with him. and though he would never admit to jealousy, i think Ormund would frame it as ensuring Targaryens don't get a hold of her and taint what he has made. so Ormund would make it a point to show some type of physical claim on reader around Aemond-- hand at her back, interrupting any conversations between the two, insisting reader sit next to him instead of her mother or Aemond.
honestly, Ormund would maybe want Aegon to behave inappropriately towards reader, because it further pushes reader into his orbit and reinforces his narrative. he can plainly say, "see? Targaryens are lecherous beasts. what type of man would advance upon his own sister?". so not only would Ormund use that opportunity to serve as protector but also once again as the conqueror of all Targaryen sin.
now, as for what would happen if they come and visit AFTER a potential betrothal offer from Aemond to reader......that's a certified Ormund freakout moment.
