Still Baffles Me That People ACTUALLY Read My Work And Have Thoughts About It!!! Let Alone Reread It!!! - Tumblr Posts

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 :)
