This writer➡️ @thisbirdhadflownx I am in awe of. Her works are beautiful. I seriously want these fics published into novels.

yeah!!

lol this amuses me because my characterization of dany and dany+jon’s relationship has been the #1 thing people dont like/have complained about with the fury. BUT WHATEVER im sticking to it. i wanted to tackle this relationship, what dany’s new reign would look like, and the starks’ reaction to it realistically.

so generally speaking, dany’s put jon through some Traumatic Shit (tm), that’s made him unsure of her as a person. i absolutely do not believe that he and dany would have a perfectly fine relationship after she burned down king’s landing. regardless of his feelings, trust is gone there. were he not worried about how she would retaliate against sansa for attempting to go against her/releasing information of jon’s parentage, and arya who was still in king’s landing, he might have peaced out then and there

now, i also firmly believe that after the initial anger/adrenaline has passed, dany would regret her decision to burn down king’s landing. it’s not something she can outright state, because it will undermine her crown and actions and likely insight ANOTHER rebellion. she knows she fucked up. jon lowkey knows she knows she fucked up. they’re in a hotbed of bullshit of dany’s design.

SO SOME HEADCANONS. some that may or may not make it into the story proper:

dany’s not going to be magically cured of her infertility. if i ever write the fury sequel, them getting panicking about having an heir will be a chunk of it / a source of worry for Team Gendrya

dany really did only want to secure political alliances via stark girls’ marriages and wouldn’t have made them go through with it if they didn’t want to. no harm in throwing dornish bachelors at them until one sticks, though

she doesnt ship gendrya--not because of any reasons to do with them as people--but she can see political opportunists arguing for a stark/baratheon throne and the stormlands border the crownlands

jon likely would have left if dany married gendry as well. he’s probably at a 98% done at all times

dany didn’t super want to marry gendry, either. rather it was a thought she was entertaining/not something as fleshed out as sansa made it seem. sansa was trying to stir shit to get arya motivated/have the starks gain a foothold in the stormlands vs the targaryens

jon thinks about ned a lot as he’s appointed hand of the queen. he had his own private, freakout moment like arya did before the banquet

they don’t sleep together for at least a year after king’s landing is burned. probably more

dany’s advisors have suggested deposing jon and finding a husband from the reach instead (the north lost a lot of political/military power after The Long Night and sacking king’s land). she won’t budge on this particular point

despite his hurt/mixed feelings, jon is always quick to defend dany in public---not always her actions, but her intentions for sure. he knows the importance of them being a united front

23: Strange habits?

I typed out this whole answer about how I don’t really have any, but then I realized that’s a lie: I totally do. Some of my original novels have their first drafts on Staples-brand spiral notecards. These guys: 

It started because, before I wrote on my phone, I would find myself with a lot of downtime at work, and I wanted to write, but I didn’t want my boss to think I was slacking. So I started writing on the notecards that I also used to take notes on the documents I was editing, so i was able to easily slip the novel work under the regular notes and look like I was just scribbling lots of notes to myself. Then, when I got home, I would work on copying them over to notebooks, which I would consider my second draft. I would type them up as my third. 

So now, even though I write on my phone, sometimes I still do it. Usually if I’m in fandom/working on fanfiction at the time, I’ll keep the original novels on the notecards at work and the fanfic on the phone, because it’s an easy way to separate the two mentalities. Also, once I transcribe the notecards, they all go into this box, no matter what the book is: 

They have their own naming conventions at the top corner so i can tell them apart. And then when the book is fully transcribed, I put them all aside like this: 

because I am a fucking weirdo.

detective au + second love

k so we’re back to 30s/40s au because I like that aesthetic: PI robb stark hasn’t really ever recovered from losing his wife jeyne westerling in what turned out to be an attempt on his life that her mother paid for because she hated him that much and he’s sure he can’t really fall for anyone else again never mind that he feels guilty af for jeyne’s death. on the anniversary of the attempt in question a new client walks into his office - miss asha greyjoy’s younger brother has been missing for months by now, her father seems to not give a shit and her mother is progressively losing it while her father keeps on not giving a shit and since there was a letter saying he was willingly leaving the police won’t do shit, so she’s hiring him. robb accepts also because it’s a damned job and he starts asking stuff around - balon is Not Helpful and actually seems to be hiding something, alannys can only ask him to please find her son but isn’t helpful either, he digs around a bit and finds out theon ran with bad company but still nothing that would mean disappearing and also his message sounds fake.

Thank you so much for asking!

13.  What gets them flustered?

Not much, but I think the sincere appreciation of her skills by an older woman - particularly someone she respects.  In an AU where Victoria Winslow from RED and Kingsman exist side-by-side, I can see Roxy as Victoria’s eager pupil, a bit starry-eyed and in love.

16.  Dark secrets/’skeletons in the closet’

Yes, Dany is the person she’s mourning! It’s definitely a fic that would have some darkness, but I love people being able to bond and heal together so it offers a lot of interesting opportunities. 

“cagamosis” - unhappy marriage

read on AO3

Theon had warned her, but Sansa wasn’t fully prepared for how much of a disaster dinner at the Greyjoys would be.

And after the third insult in ten minutes hurled at her boyfriend, Sansa struggles to remain cool. Theon has his arm around her chair, his fingers curled into her hair and that may be the only thing keeping her grounded.

Sansa takes in a deep breath, trying to stay calm. “Theon works with children every day - that’s hard work and he does a great job with them.” His hand stills for a moment before sliding to land on her thigh. Sansa rests her hand on his as she takes a drink of water. “I’m proud of him.”

If her voice is sharp, it’s not completely her fault.

have another stark siblings group chat!

ROBB: Never have I ever fallen in love with my best friend!

RICKON: Fuck you

SANSA: He just wants us all to take a drink

ARYA: but it’s also a goddamned lie, so robb has to take two shots

BRAN: Why is long distance drinking games a thing we do?

ROBB: Arya Stark! I have never lied a day in my life!

RICKON: You’re literally married to Theon

ROBB: Jon is my best friend

SANSA: You just made him tear up

ARYA: Gross

SANSA: But he also took a shot
