The Lannisters | Circus AU, Part

The Lannisters | Circus AU, part ½

Astounding! Amazing! Scintillating! Sensational!

The Lannister Circus has long been celebrated as a Westerosi institution, an entertainment giant that combines the spectacle of live theatre, animal acts, and death-defying stunts in an unforgettable show that has been drawing audiences for over three decades.

Founder, patriarch and ringmaster Tywin Lannister is widely known to be a visionary within the industry, a consummate showman with a knack for scouting talent from the wilds of the far North to the sands of Dorne and beyond.

The Lannisters themselves are famed lion tamers, with both Tywin and his wife Joanna (since deceased), exhibiting an uncanny affinity with the beasts in question, a skill they have clearly passed on to their offspring, Jaime and Cersei.*

* The Tyrion erasure is intentional, I’m afraid. While he is definitely a part of the show - with no small dose of irony, he himself chose to be a clown - it is not a fact that Tywin is particularly eager to advertise.

** In this AU, Tywin is, as in canon, a taskmaster who expects exemplary performances from his people, including his children. Jaime is Tywin’s golden child and heir, despite his general indifference towards the family legacy. Cersei, meanwhile, is much more ambitious than her twin, but is rarely offered the same opportunities to shine as her brother. Tyrion, who is more canny than his father gives him credit for, could be a valuable asset to the circus, if only Tywin would give him a chance…
