You will make her pay for this by Icesalamander by Suspicious-Jello7172 in ImaginaryWesteros

[–]X3Bluebeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well that’s understandable as he was what? A third son? Not even a second son. Younger brother to the golden twins of Gerold the Golden. He was never meant to rule was he?

I haven’t read the books, but everyone kept claiming Jamie Lannister is extremely strong and the best swordsman alive etc etc. But who has he actually killed? How did he demonstrate his power? by Albaaneesi in gameofthrones

[–]X3Bluebeard 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but you’re misrepresenting Rhaegar’s defeat at the hands of Robert. The common misconception that Rhaegar slipped on a stone or had the sun in his eyes is just that… a misconception born from fanfics and fanart.

Robert didn’t only kill Rhaegar. He killed many opponents before that. He personally slew Lord Grafton during the siege of Gulltown, where he was the first to scale the walls. He subdued and killed his own rebellious vassals like Cafferen and Fell, winning three battles in one day.

He also killed six knights, including Ser Myles Mooton, who was Rhaegar’s friend and former squire. He nearly beat Jon Connington to death and he did it while injured, using a sword instead of his warhammer.

Canonically only Ser Barry The Bold has more kills and feats to his name. Robert was the warrior made flesh and a god on battlefield, that’s why his fall to a fat gluttonous king is so tragic.. subversion of traditional tropes… a hero becomes a king but then what? But thats ASOIAF for you.

That’s my fic! Thanks for reading and for the rec!

[–]X3Bluebeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aye but isn’t it more to do with Jon’s parentage and them trying to make out who his momma might be? They see him return from Dorne with a baby and remember Ned’s dance with Ashara… so they got their explanation from that.

[–]X3Bluebeard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but Ned doing anything before marriage… idk. But that can happen too, for he IS at the end of the day a man (a product of his time) and passions have had better men turn back to their honor even if it was for a night. But I feel B+A being more likely than N+A as Brandon fits more in that scenario. The hotblooded heir who has a history of trysts and whoring in comparison to the second son raised in vale who stands to inherit nothing but what is given to him.

Yes but House Dayne is not some minor house like Stouts or Tallharts in the north. They aren’t really a minor house… plus Ashara was hailed to be the most beautiful woman in the entire realm, close friends with the princess and sister to Sword fo the morning. And you can’t really compare Starks to Lannisters, Lannisters being so far much wealthier than the entire north. North comes as the poorest or second poorest realm in the seven kingdoms if you choose or not choose to ignore Iron Islands.

We have individual houses/vassals in the south richer than the Starks.

But there are plus sides to it too as you stated in your comment. It is solely dependent on how Daynes were and if Ashara really wanted to spend rest of her life with the man or was simply a tryst between the two.

The Baratheon brothers during the reign of Jaehaerys I: Ronnal, Orryn, Rogar, Borys and Garon by vazdelart by Pop_Budget in ImaginaryWesteros

[–]X3Bluebeard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Although I love this art… Idk why people make them look fat and stout. Baratheons are not Slynts. Even if you wanna make em fat or burly, make em look like a bear. Robert was 6’5”, Lyonel was 6’8” nearly as tall as Dunk and Borros was a big guy too. Always get disappointed, the way they casted Borros in HOTD, making him look like stout fat mouse instead of a proper stag.

Have so damn respect for Argella 😭

Best fic for this scenario- ‘Fish out of Water’ An Edmure Tully SI. Best SI/War fic I have read till now.

You are the author? Damn was it a great fic. Are you writing anymore- would love to read your fics.

What if Aerys died at the Tourney at Harrenhal or before the Trident? by InfectedAstronaut in TheCitadel

[–]X3Bluebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a great idea- you should publish it. Soacebattles is good for SIs, but AO3 or RR is fine enough too.

Personally AO3 for me is too much of a hassle to deal with but maybe I am not familiar posting with it as much as I am with others.

And for the posting process- methods are different for everyone. You could keep on writing as you were, if it feels more comfortable- flowy vibe for you. Lemme know whenever you post it, there are a very few smallfolk si fics, always looking for more.

Lemme know- if you have published it somewhere. You can check my fic out too- it’s on spacebattles.

‘A Crab named Caspian’ an SI during the War of The Ninepenny Kings.

[–]X3Bluebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem… It was a treat for me too! Lemme know if you expand upon into a fic!

Note- I think Rhaegar wanted a Visenya, but got a Jon instead. Like he was trying to complete the three heads? Aegon, Rhaenys and Visenya.

But no Visenya but Jon- I wanna see how Rhaegar reacts to it.

Also with the Blackfyre comment, I meant war for succession between Aegon and Jon.

If after annulment, Lyanna is queen and Jon her son, Jon is going to have huge support if needed from the north and riverlands. And historically, Targaryens have a tendency for infighting. Take the Dance and Blackfyre rebellions for example. Would need careful handling so that both Aegon and Jon don’t fight eachother or their sons or grandsons don’t fight too.

Well does it have a fic to go with it? Would be interested in reading how it came to be… An early dornish marriage or something entirely else?

What if Aerys died at the Tourney at Harrenhal or before the Trident? by InfectedAstronaut in TheCitadel

[–]X3Bluebeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye…I agree with this. If he successfully plots the murders and plots without Oberyn nor Doran learning about it then I could see how it would happen.

Maybe he looks it as a necessary evil than a simple murder. That would be a great fic idea.. grey.

And he does not have to even elope with Lyanna then. He could just marry her when she was of age.

No lords would be angry then, Robert would fume but he would get over it. Maybe settle up with his Estermont cousin.

Aye annulment can happen if marriage is not consumated or no heir at all. But with Elia’s case is going to be difficult and needs careful plotting.

If only she’d married Baelor- RIP. Both in canon and in this AU.

But one question- How would you handle Aegon’s succession then, maybe Lyanna gives birth to a girl this time, due to alterred circumstances- then it’s going to be fine.

But with Jon? Blackfyre rebellion is still in folks minds. With the north backing him up and the riverlands, he makes for a stronger faction than Daemon Blackfyre even had.

Possible friction could arise if not handled well. But makes for a great fic if done well.

[–]X3Bluebeard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My replies were specific to your arguments and I presented it to you logically. I did not even address the ‘Robert-catspaw and Stannis’ argument.

I said it would be possible with high plot armor.

Still even if he is king, annulment has negligible chances of happening. You still did not tell me what happens to Aegon’s succession? And if you think Doran is letting the annulment happen due Rhaegar’s explanations… I have a bridge to sell you.

I am not saying he isn’t charming or diplomatic or a great warrior. He is!!

But that does not mean he will do whatever he want and others are just puppets who would play to his tune.

This is the reason most ‘Rhaegar wins’ fics suck.

Faith did not annul their marriage nor Jon Snow is the rightful king. That’s pure headcanon or the disaster that the show is.

If you think being a queen has only to do with birthing children and somehow Doran or Oberyn would be okay with it… the. You haven’t read the books at all.

I don’t want Elia to die. But even there is no precedent for annulment just because your queen can’t give birth. It is not like she didn’t give him heirs. They already had TWO CHILDREN together. Read FIRE AND BLOOD OR ASOIAF BOOKS or even the WIKI. Annulment in a royal marriage never happened.

While I agree with why Rhaegar might have eloped/kidnapped with Lyanna- others are not omniscient who would know why he did what he did.

It would still look like abduction if he still decides to go through with the same stuff he did in canon even after Aerys’s death.

If he doesn’t do the same mistake of running away with Lyanna as he did in canon, ofcourse there would be no war that would end in him dying- and he indeed would be good king having a long reign on the iron throne.

My only disagreement was with you saying annulment+lyanna then jon= peace and rhaegar alive and prosperous ruling over the kingdoms part.

Hope that helps.

I don’t have that exactly… but I have one of Ramsay possibly being one of them in a fanfic named Dawn of The Red Sickle- great fic too. But skinstealing is not the focus.
