I Havent Disappeared Again! I Meant To Update And Post A New Aemond One Shot This Week/weekend But Ive

I haven’t disappeared again! I meant to update and post a new Aemond one shot this week/weekend but I’ve got the flu :(

every day I'm reminded that tumblr is the superior social media

Me fucking around vs. me finding out

A third commenter has entered the fray LMAOOO

This fic is NOT going the way they think (i.e Aegon's children will not be marrying each other to ensure Pure Valyrian Blood) and I'm terrified I'm going to get ripped to shreds when we reach that point

Watching the intense back and forth two commenters are having on my most recent chapter like

Writing a chapter with Jon Connington, Jon Snow, the Smalljon, AND the Greatjon will be the reason I go insane.

i’ve been rereading throw me to the wolves and just got to aegons chapter where he mentions that in another life he and alysanne would have probably married and now i can’t stop thinking about it

Wouldn't that make for an interesting pair! Alysanne as she is now would work well with him, I think. Were it not for Robb, she could grow to love Aegon.

I've given this a great deal of thought, actually. In the instance Aegon talks about (and Varys mentions it, in his chapter), Alysanne would never have been betrothed to Robb and sent north. Ostensibly raised in the Red Keep, if not at Casterly Rock with Tywin. I think that makes for a very different Alysanne.

(There's also the equally tragic option of Robb dying during the war and Alysanne ending up with Aegon that way. I think that would really break her for a while and turn her vengeful, bordering on cruel. But after a time, I think she and Aegon would grow to love one another in some capacity.)

She would perhaps be meeker, especially if raised by Tywin. And if she was raised in the Red Keep and Cersei got her claws into her as she originally wanted, I think she'd be a great deal more bitter. Not to mention whatever horrors come with growing up alongside Joffrey.

I think, in this other timeline, if she did manage to break free of Cersei and Tywin's influence, she would rule well alongside Aegon. She would have a long journey of growth. Those two together could be fun to write, perhaps I'll explore that one day!

Thank you for the ask :)
