#bard au

(づ> v <)づ♡ ₊˚⊹♡ ₊˚⊹♡

I’m a bit out of inspiration for the Single mum Au and the others are stand alone.

HOWEVER in my usual ratty way I have made a couple of little concepts for you on what could happen next.

Maegelle

This is a Omega/Omega au. I was going to make it a Dunk Baelor pairing

But Daeron and Dunks relationship feels perfect for this au. It may not be sexual, or even romantic, but its the closest bond they have with another person outside of Maegelle (Daerons) and Egg (Dunks)

Dunk is Daeron’s sworn shield who, as an omega, is one of the few non family members Daeron feels comfortable around.

No matter how long it is, the mental and physical scars will literally stay with him forever.

Daeron cannot have children after Maegelle. After being checked by a Maester (Maegar was in that room, sword out, ready to kill).

Although premature it was a traumatic birth with a terrified farm wife forced to help him give birth under the understanding that if he died she and her family would die too.

This is such a relief to Daeron. He doesn’t know if he could ever have another person try touch him sexually never mind have a babe with them.

Maekar, after being convinced by his brother-in-law. Uses his parents guilt at the revelation they’ve been shit parents to him to make them allow Daeron to remain Heir and get Maegelle legitimised is his heir.

In a dark twist of things, Maegelles sire is only revealed when Daemon II is taken into custody. They later are told Aegors orders Daemon was forced to mate with Daeron in heat to ‘prove’ he’s a proper alpha.

So Maegelle is a Targaryen/Blackfyre

Although both were forced, this is medieval Westeros and the idea of an alpha being forced if they are still able to knot said person (if Beta or omega) is seen as impossible so Daemon gets executed for ‘defiling’ a royal omega.

Aerions weird 'tainted’ comment isn’t him trying to slut shame. He genuinely is angry Daerons been raped and tortured. He cant disconnect Daeron from being ‘his’ omega. And now feels like the whole relationship between them and Daeron has been tainted.

I think at his darkest points he wish Daeron had died. Just so Aerion wasn’t forced to confront the horror of what happened to the only sibling he felt connected to. It also makes him feel guilty for giving up on Daeron being alive and leaving him to his fate.

He doesn’t actually explain this because he has the communication skills of a rock with too much pride and rage to ever deal with explaining himself to others.

Dyanna’s brother has decided that Aerions Valariyan supremacy shit is gone on long enough. This boy is forcibly fostered in Dawn so that he learn to be somewhat humble and get his act together.

This almost works but instead Aerion ends up marrying the omega heir to Hellholt. Who’s a dornish supremacist.

He brags about the Targaryens never being able to conquer Dorne. He also has heirloom pieces of Maraxes turned into cups and a family ancestry book bound in her scales. The Bolt that took her down are mounted above the chair in the petition receiving room.

The Matarys Bard au of an au.

I haven’t thought much on the original idea but I did have the idea of pulling from one of the little notes I’ve made before.

Daeron (son of Viserys) who is now Aelinor and Aerys son ends up also traveling with Dunk and the Dunkettes.

(to both his parents consternation. You caused this Baelor, look at the trend you’ve started. The rest of you have other children, we have ONE!!)

Of course he cant be another squire or Egg will stab him in the night. Can’t be a bard either because for all of the 3 apples tall with a baby boy aura, Matarys turns out to be worse than Egg sometimes and will legit (mildly) poison peoples drinks if they take up too much of Dunks time.

Instead he’s their scribe (wrong word for it). He notes down their adventures and paints little drawings of their travels.

He and Matarys (and an unneeded and very opinionated Egg) try to turn some of these tales into little plays. If they met Tanselle they’d be unstoppable.

Dunk is horrifically embarrassed. Pls children stop this hero worship, your knight cannot handle it. If he gets any redder he’ll have a heart attack.

They’re their own little club of Dunklings. There is no room for anyone else. The kids are trying to pool enough money together that they can all get a country house and live with Dunk on a little farm, helping the local town and going out on little adventures.

Dunk did mention the idea of how it would be nice to settle down with a little hut and stable for the horses. He is of the idea that once their “all done” Dunk will travel for a bit alone then, if lucky, settle down.

Day 4, AU

save me multiple languages speaker bard gwaine, save me

— largely inspired by @death-nettle's bard gwaine headcanon

— thank you to my friends lèa and nora for helping me with the songs in the background

Little gift for @whiteasy because you totally deserve it for writting such nice story and because you really are a sweet person :) For the story we both listened to the Hildegard Von Blingin’s medieval version of Pumped Up Kicks and we both starte to imagine Pieck as a bard singing, then, since it’s a two voice song we imagined the one following would be Bertholdt. Finally I added Porco for a three-holes-pipe :) And the band of bards was born.

Of course with that, things came up to my mind like... Porco having a crush on Pieck and joining her and Bertholdt who somehow is her half brother (it’s the nose). But he find out that she’s lesbian and he realize he also has a crush on Bertl. They travel from town to town until one day, in a tavern they meet two blond knights on a break from their duty to Queen Historia...  Lady Annie Leonhart: I think I have a crush... Sir Reiner Braun: Yeah?... W-wait! Which one?! Lady Annie Leonhart: The short one with black hair... Sir Reiner Braun: *relieved sigh* ah! Lady Annie Leonhart: ... Which one? Sir Reiner Braun: ...hm... the taller one.
