Somewhere, down on the shadowy seabed, a lord and lady were concealed there; turning out their years together in their watery grave. [x]

Even after all these years, Ser Barristan could still recall Ashara’s smile, the sound of her laughter. He had only to close his eyes to see her, with her long dark hair tumbling about her shoulders and those haunting purple eyes.

Jessica Matten as Asha Greyjoy

Theon had time for a choked gasp before Asha snatched the axe from the air and slammed it down into the table, splitting his trencher in two and splattering his mantle with drippings. “There’s my lord husband.” His sister reached down inside her gown and drew a dirk from between her breasts. “And here’s my sweet suckling babe.”

preasoiaf meme: 3 historical events/legends (1/3) » The Tourney of Harrenhal.

For seven days the finest knights and noblest lords of the Seven Kingdoms contended with lance and sword in the fields beneath the towering walls of Harrenhal. At night, victors and vanquished alike repaired to the castle’s cavernous Hall of a Hundred Hearths, for feasting and celebration.

Drey and Spotted Sylva were her dearest friends, aside from her cousin Tyene, and Garin had been teasing her since both of them were drinking from his mother’s teats.

Princess Elaena was only eleven when locked away in the Maidenvault. At that age she was a skinny thing, the runt of the litter, but she had more than a little of her sister Daena’s wilfullness even then, as she would prove when she grew older. Her hair was a platinum white with a bright golden streak down the middle, an unusual color even for the Targaryens. She wore it long, pulled back, and braided, and was always being told it was her crowning beauty. When Baelor the Blessed confined his sisters to the Maidenvault because he said they were so beautiful that just seeing them would tempt the men of his court to sin, Elaena cut her braid off and sent it to her brother, hoping that if she rid herself of her beauty her brother might let her out. He didn’t. She liked to dress in black as a girl, because her big sister Daena had done it. Elaena lived a much longer life than her sister Daena, and a much more tumultuous one than her sister Rhaena. (x)

[Margaery’s] ladies welcomed Sansa as well. It had been so long since she had enjoyed the company of other women, she had almost forgotten how pleasant it could be.

NOTE: Joffrey is not a Baratheon by blood, but he is in name. I don’t think Aegon is Rhaegar and Elia’s son, but he will present himself as a Targaryen (and identify as one as well).

When they returned to the house Cat helped Brusco’s sons unload the boat. Brusco and his daughters divided the shellfish amongst three barrows, arranging them on layered beds of seaweed. “Come back when all is sold,” Brusco told the girls, just as he did every morning, and they set forth to cry the catch. Brea would wheel her barrow to the Purple Harbor, to sell to the Braavosi sailors whose ships were anchored there. Talea would try the alleys round the Moon Pool, or sell amongst the temples on the Isle of the Gods. Cat headed for the Ragman’s Harbor, as she did nine days of every ten.

We free folk know things you kneelers have forgotten. Sometimes the short road is not the safest, Jon Snow. The Horned Lord once said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt. There is no safe way to grasp it.

preasoiaf meme | 4 preasoiaf versions of asoiaf characters: cersei lannister

“Her strength rests on her beauty, birth, and riches. Only the first of those is truly her own, and it will soon desert her. I pity her then. She wants power, but has no notion what to do with it when she gets it.” // jodie comer as young cersei lannister

Queen Rhaena I AU: The day Maegor forced Rhaena to become one of his black brides was the day he died. The young woman brought a dagger to their marriage bed and ended him with it. As the oldest grandchild of Aegon the Conqueror, she claimed the Iron Throne and became Queen of Westeros. Her ascension wasn’t met with complete acceptance. There were those who opposed a woman ruling over them in her own right, especially when she had a brother yet living. But after years of terror and bloodshed under Maegor, no one wanted war again and Jaehaerys refused to fight his sister.

Rhaena’s reign brought many changes to Westeros. She filled a number of offices not just with men, but with women who proved themselves worthy of their positions. Most notable was Elissa Farman, who held the office of Master of Ship. A born seafarer, she pushed for the creation of the crown’s own navy rather than relying on the fleets of other Houses. She also pushed for exploration to the west, which led to the discovery of a passage straight to Asshai and great riches.

The Westeros Rhaena passed on to her heir, Crown Princess Aerea, was more prosperous and tolerant of women in power than the one she had claimed.
