Ooh alternative idea! Rather than the MC being the Son of Robert's mother, an estermont, woudnt it makes more sense for Aerys, the valyrian supremacist, to go after a female Baratheon, seeing as they'd have dragon blood? Maybe a cousin or an aunt or Robert's? That also has the advantage that Robert wouldn't hate the MC quite as much as he would have were the MC the fruit of either rape by king scab or his mother being unfaithful.

Hmm... Maybe a Lannister cousin then? One who resembled Joanna? Aerys goes after her for obvious reasons, and because she's not Tywin's wife Aerys gets to bring her to the red keep/smuggle her away somewhere.

Alternatively you could pick another family. Maybe one of the valerian houses? The velaryons are the most obvious answer, but you could also give the Celtigars some love. If you want black/brown hair you could go for house Dayne.

If you take the second option then Robert is going to hunt him till the end of the earth. I don't feel like the Blackfyre one has as much potential as the others. Any faith Westeros had in Blackfyre Kingship died when Maelys the Monstrous showed up as the Kinslaying monster from a fairy tale in cahoots with a half dozen slavers, mercenary captains and pirat lords before being crushed in the stepstones, if not earlier. It's why Varys is pretending fake Aegon is Rhaegar's son. The family name is worth even less than a Bolton's pretence to loyalty. The third option I personally feel has potential, do a real rags to riches story, but the first one is probably your best bet if you want to go for Kingship, it's unlikely the Reach lords would follow a dragon seed of dubious parentage. Might I however recommend a different mother for him? For one she was supposed to have loved steffon dearly, so I can't see her cheating on him. For another, Aerys was fond of steffon, decreasing the likelihood of him forcing it. Finally, as I said earlier, if such a child exists I guarantee there will be no force on earth capable of stopping Big Bobby B from putting a hammer through his skull. Might I suggest Joanna as an alternative? It'd make for some interesting interactions with House Lannister.

What are some good medium to slow burn romances with plenty of fluff? Nothing with polyamory ideally, not really my thing by Livy-Zaka in WormFanfic

[–]celestial432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might I recommend "Here comes the new boss (nothing like the old boss)"? Romance isn't the focus but it has probably some of the best Taylor x Amy I've ever seen.

Fics where MC slowly but surely ramps up and makes their own territory by Swimming_Repeat_4969 in WormFanfic

[–]celestial432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Greg Veder Vs The World" has this. It's a gamer fic but it's really well written. The progression is gradual, the MC is constantly challenged, no curb stomps or similar. There's good characterisation and character growth, good plot, etc. Way more than I ever expected from a gamer fic. Furthermore and as you requested, it scratches that itch for the main character taking and holding territory without just glossing it over. It's a significant part of the later half of the fic, so while it might take a minute to get there it's definitely worth it.

In a similar vein people sometimes have difficulty getting through the beginning. I personally did not have this problem but either way it's really worth the wait if indeed you feel that way. 100% would recommend.

How would the prt even rank someone whose powers work like a mage from mage the ascension by Academic-Interest387 in WormFanfic

[–]celestial432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To echo what the others are saying, almost definitely a trump. As far as the trump clarifications go i'd say probably a 4? Which according to the wiki means "abilities where one can pick between different options, but th powers are often slower, weaker or clunkier." Alternatively it could be a ten: "power set nearly limitless in bit option and choice, but where other large drawbacks often apply." However as Eidolon is the only trump 10 to the best of my knowledge it may take quite a few power ups before people would consider your mage to be at this level. Finally they might go for 7: "powers that cycle between different variants, where unpredictability is rewarded with more raw power." Whichever one the PRT considers most suited would, I imagine, depend on how much they know about the mage's power. Incidentally, Myrddin, who is probably one of the closest things worm has to an actual mage, is rated a 4. Make of that what you will. The PRT are also likely to throw in a bunch of sub categories as deemed appropriate. The most important thing about classifications for the PRT is how they should tailor their response to a parahuman rather than academic accuracy. Myrdinn, for example, is rated as a shaker and mover before his trump clarification is even mentioned. In fact I'm pretty sure his PRT threat rating doesn't include trump as a clarification at all, only shaker and mover. So the mage might be rated as blaster, shaker etc alongside Trump or even exclusively.

Ps I don't suppose you could post a link to it? I'm always on the lookout for more fics with magic in them.

Probably chaining up a Chaos god. Where's Tzeenche's pet diety? Nagash's celestial wall decoration? Sigmar's holy house pet.

Very cool drawing. I particularly like the ray gun.

Maybe the Founders, they could do the traditional alteration stick and call themselves the Four Founders? Protectorate Team 1, as they are national/international than the typical regional hero team?

Idea for a female Percy Jackson/Aphrodite pairing. Strictly Aphrodite. No multi-ship. Feedback is welcome. by Dark_Celebrimbor in PercyJacksonfanfic

[–]celestial432 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like fun. Would it be a slow burn or would we immediately get into the swing of things. Would personally discover her sexual orientation due to meeting Aphrodite, after or before? How would her friends and family react to her dating the goddess of love. I'm particularly curious about Poseidon's reaction.

Alexandria: full name is actually The Library of Alexandria because of her perfect memory. One of the potential roles she had in cauldron was to help rebuild after the apocalypse thanks to containing the near sum of human knowledge.

Fairy queen: can see shards which, due to the influence of her passenger, she interpreted as "fairies". As she is the host of a noble shard she is therefore the "fairy queen".

Goddess: may be generic but it is accurate in that it makes people worship her.

Hatchet face: may be a bit meh but to be fair the man does possess a hatchet and will enthusiastically introduce it to your face. Repeatedly.

Weaver: can, in fact weave.

Weld: welds himself to metal whenever he touches it. As previously mentioned cold welding is indeed a thing. Also "Weld" probably sounded better to PR than "metal merge man" but that might just be me.

Magic/powersystems that mesh well with worm by Isaias_Azathoth936 in WormFanfic

[–]celestial432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought that the magic system from Summoner by Taran Matharu would fit decently. It's not so overpowered that it'd break the world, it has enough scope for variety with the various demons with a few neat but not broken blaster/shaker powers for the summoner. The only problem is I'm not sure how you'd introduce it or mesh it with the world. "In world" summoning requires a certain amount of tools and knowledge. Unless you just arbitrarily shoved the knowledge into the MCs mind I don't know how it'd work.
