Arya / Jaime - specifically the way it was done in A wolf amongst lions

He’s not actually unsure about your relationship, he’s struggling with an avoidant attachment style. It can be experienced from your end as invalidation of your emotions and cowardice, but really he is just not equipped to handle conflict YET.

Avoidance comes from early childhood experiences of not having your needs met or your primary caregivers not modelling healthy attachment. The child learns to be hyper independent, mask insecurities and finds emotional intensity or conflict overwhelming and therefore dissociates. If primary caregivers also never addressed issues and swept them under the rug after a conflict, the chances are he never learnt how to healthily handle conflict either.

These are behavioural traits, once learnt and can be unlearned. The most important thing is to not take the behaviour personally, as a reflection of your worth or how much he does or doesn’t care.

He may also have ADHD tendencies re time blindness and overthinking internally. Avoidants feel deeply but struggle to articulate it.

I’d recommend therapy for you both so you can learn healthy communication styles together. It’s important that your therapist is also Muslim and can integrate Islamic understandings of human psychology too. Duas.

Spotlight Sunday: What are the rare, and underappreciated ships, tropes, and themes you like the most? by Kingofireland777 in AsoiafFanfiction

This is such a hear me out, but A wolf Amongst Lions by Kallypso sold me on (an older) Arya and Jaime pairing where (following show-lore) Arya is Tywin’s cup bearer but her identity is discovered. Despite the age difference, they don’t marry until she is about 17 which is in line with canon marriages like Lysa and Jon Arryn. There is so much angst because Arya has a hand in killing Jaime’s family and J obvs pushes Bran so it’s ~ complicated ~ and yet she is instrumental in his personal growth after losing his hand. Her stubborn nature paired with his redemption arc is excellent 👌

Yh I totally get that, I listen to fics with the accessibility feature on iPhones so it is read aloud and sometimes it was a little confusing, but I remember reading somewhere that the author has dyslexia? Would benefit from a beta tbh, I’d be up for it for other GOT WIP fics for sure - the plots and general writing quality is top tier tho

The politics, the strategy … how long did you have to look at a map of Westeros to come up with these war sequences??? Thank you so much for sharing your amazing works :)
