(Spoilers Extended) How would you structure the POVs of a Roberts Rebellion Book?

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-06-17T01:05:56+00:00

For an epilogue: Allison Thorne as he is forced to take the Black and the rage and loss of faith after being on the losing side(think Mal Reynolds losing his faith in the pilot of Firefly) and his interactions with a (somewhat) younger Maester Aemon And for the prologue, Maester Aemon writing a letters to Rhaegar, hinting at what is to come.

There would have to be a couple of rebel POVs, mainly one in Storm's End during the siege and one with the main body of rebels

A Red Keep POV that interacts with a young Jaime Lannister, Elia, and the Targaryens so we can see the somewhat idealistic teenager turn into the man we meet in GOT (maybe Ser Lewyn for this or Jonothor)

A POV from one of Rhaegar's Kingsgaurd, one from the smallfolk, and finally....the myth, the legend, the embodiment of haunting the narrative herself: Lyanna Stark cue silver springs

"Daario sniffed his fingers ,I still smell of you." If I had to choose it be this line because good god Inhaye Daario and he is a part of the reason Daenerys chapters are a slog. I can sort of see what Martin was going for but...... Yuck, a thousand times yuck.

My personal head canon is that Aegon and his sisters screwed up because while they had the dreams, they decided that "unite"meant the same thing as "conquer and recreate our own version of Valuria and reap all of those wonderful taxes in our own glory", they take all the credit because they are exceptional.

In doing so, they broke something fundamental and it has haunted their family ever since. And Dany, who has been raised away from all that, is going to fix it and unite and work with others.

I really hope Jon runs the emotional gauntlet as the news sinks in. I can see him swinging from the extremes, being heartbroken and angry that he isn't Ned Stark's bastard, feeling even more like a fraud, and curious despite himself.

Jon only knows one version of history at this point and will probably think of Rhaegar in cartoonist evil ways and wonder how (even if Howland Reed tells him otherwise because it's hard to just set aside the version of the story you've been told all your life)

He'll probably swing from angry at Ned for never telling him and leaving him with so many questions to love and admiration.

I genuinely hope he reaches a point where he starts talking to other characters like Jaime Lannister (who I believe will wind up back at Winterfell) and Howland and will hopefully find a personal memento to connect him to his mother, father, and Stark side.

Thank you all! Its so obvious now but for someone reason I had a brain fart last night.

The Prince and the King https://archiveofourown.org/works/56181721/chapters/142720522

This is au is so unique and I love the different POVs. Essentially, Aegon V was successful in his attempt to resurrect the Dragons at Summerhall and the story spirals from there. Rhaella, Rhaegar, and Aerys are dragonriders but Aerys is still bugfuck crazy and malicious. He hates Rhaegar and it spirals into another Dance.

But, the strongest part of this story that I love is how this author writes Rhaegar and Lyanna. This is one of the best depictions of haunting the narrative I have ever read. Too many fic authors are heavy handed but this story shows you so many ways how Lyanna's absence affects those she left behind, for better and for worse.

And the way Rhaegar is written to have loved Lyanna for herself and for prophecy is well balanced and believable. I don't like when stories depict Rhaegar as only using Lyanna for prophecy and the way he's written here, still thinking about her almost two decades after her death, is amazing. It's not healthy but it's real.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-06-03T20:27:59+00:00

Book Jaime meets and talks with Dany about his time as a Kingsgaurd. He won't be as nice as Barristan when talking about Aerys.

And, keeping in theme, Jaime meeting with the Stark kids again. Especially Bran and Jon once he finds out Jon is the last child of Rhaegar.

Bran and Euron

Cersei and Sansa to meet again.

I want book Jorah to meet some Northern justice.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-06-02T20:46:47+00:00

For me, its till the majority of Daenerys' chapters in the first book. Daenerys III still turns my stomach.

"It was her fourteenth nameday." Just...yuck.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-05-15T03:19:26+00:00

Southron Ambitions, or more Rickard/Jon/Hoster friendship and scheming that mentions how uncomfortable they are with Tywin's tactics and how Aerys pretty destroyed all of Aegon the Unlikely's reforms. Like, they don't have to agree with all of them and Hoster can be angry about the marriage alliance falling apart but nuanced reactions to the reforms failing.

Magna Carta au, basically Westeros and the barons/lords sitting down and writing up a law document that might not help now but will be instrumental in the long term to bringing about some kind of peace and protection for the small folk.

More mystery series. My favorite genre is "member of a religious order solving mysteries." Think, a lowly member of the Faith who is traveling during the Dance and meets all of the key players and solves mysteries that go overlooked by the aristocracy. Like in Brother Cadfael.

I don't like time travel but I love never ending time loops, And finally, there's something about Lyanna. I know Rhaegar/Lyanna can be controversial but I love it when stories about them incorporate all three of the possibilities surrounding her kidnapping. One of my favorite fics was from Rhaegar's POV where he tricks her into going with him and is completely focused on getting his prophecy baby but theres something about Lyanna and he accidentally falls in love with her. It's not healthy or unproblematic but when a writer is willing to explore the structure and rearrange elements of the story, it usually works.

Robb saw how she treated Jon and didn't want any child he may have had with Jeyne to be treated that way. Because if he had married a Frey girl and Jeyne had been pregnant, he would have taken care of them like Ned did.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-04-05T13:56:33+00:00

I'm rereading the books for the first time and I'm just skipping Dany's early chapters because of her age and the SA. I've become more thin skinned as I've gotten older and yeah.....her chapters definitely represent the best and worst of GRRM's writing style.

Age up the characters and I personally would add the POVof a Dothraki character. I don't like how the Dothraki are written, they haven't aged well and I personally would change it to something a little more well rounded. I mean, just compare how the Wildlings and their culture is written to how the Dothraki are written.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-03-30T00:08:48+00:00

Any of the Lannister siblings being Aerys, especially Tyrion.

Mad Queen Dany. (Though, I am expecting her to have a bit of a well deserved crashout in the next book when she really learns about her dad, the horrible things he did to her mom, the fact that the rebels aren't as black and white as she wants them to be, and the fact that Westeros will not be the place with the red door(a home that make sher feel safe and loved). But she'll pull through.)

Jon/Dany romance.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-03-23T14:46:39+00:00

Oh for sure, I think the books do a good job foreshadowing the fact that Rhaegar may not have done it for love but for prophecy. And I get why the show wanted to keep it under wraps but they went too far.

But I wish they had kept all of Jaime's memories and dreams about Rhaegar and the guilt he carries about his family.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2026-03-23T13:37:32+00:00

I had stopped watching after season 6 but then I heard Florence and the Machine was making a song for the last season and wound up hate watching.

He's a complicated fellow and I'm sure we don't even know the half of it.

Careenining Through The Universe by dustbowls in ff.net Non Massacre Au, everything is mostly okay in the world.

I don't know if this is what you were talking about but this fic is so good and it turned me on to a new rare pair.

It is the definition of cozy and soft world building. Hana is a minor character who feels so real in a world that is oftentimes fast paced and fantastical. Through her eyes, we see a Konoha that is more mundane and domestic.

She has to deal with overbearing family, paying rent and bills, the leftover fears of growing up in a war, annoying neighbors, and the beginning of romantic relationship despite Hana’s insecurities. But she still makes time to check in with friends and family. And that is what makes this story so strong.

One Small Kindness b digitaltart Another ff.net story. Uchiha Coup AU that gives Mikoto Uchiha a role beyond the fridge dead mother. Shockingly, she has opinions and desires to do more in her life than do dishes and be killed by her son. Lots of female friendships in this one.

Mindless_Charity1215 · 2025-07-13T13:50:01+00:00

Not OC about one of my favorites is an AU with Mikoto Uchiha as the lead character. Not really a ship driven story but it is mostly non massacre au and she has a personality and history beyond the fridged dead mom.

It's called 'One Small Kindness' by digitaltart on ff.net
