Chapter Four: Jersey Giant Part One
These two got away from me, so I'm splitting this chapter into two parts.
“I’ve heard that song you played before. I like your version on the piano,” the lady called out to her. Her voice was raspy like she indulged in many of the whiskeys she poured.  Her heart thumped louder in her chest. “I- No you haven’t.” She sucked down her water with gusto, the cold almost burning as it hit the back of her throat. “Sure. A kid from around here plays it down the road all the time. Usually at Seaworth’s, but he plays a few gigs down this strip too.” The woman emptied her lime juice into another bottle as if her words didn’t change the very fabric of Dany’s day.

The Ballad of Cersei Lannister
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen! Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen!
Cersei Lannis was a popular bitch Hot bod, hot bro, cheer captain, plus she was rich That girl had everything till hiccup and hitch: Ellie Martell lost a leg in a wreck (Amputated!)
The nominations for Prom royalty came Our Cersei’s senior year and Queen was her claim Till gossip stirred the student body would name Ellie Martell Queen of the Prom (Pity vote!)
“Cersei,” her father said, “Life is a prom I know you won’t disappoint me and Mom...”
You taste the gold now, Cersei! You taste the crown! You thirst for blood from the roses in hand You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance As they crown you queen of High School Land
(Check Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)
(-ter, Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)
So obsessed our Cersei near lost her mind To life un-prom-related Cersei was blind She shoved her squad, her clique, her boyfriend behind - Still Ellie had a hold on the lead (Poor, poor Ellie)
Soon Cersei’s sanity was hung by a thread Her BFFs proclaimed her socially dead Till then at last her boyfriend texted and said: “I’m taking Ellie to the senior prom” (Love, love, Ellie)
“Cersei,” her father said, “Why be so calm? There’s just no future for a princess at prom.”
You taste the gold now, Cersei! You taste the crown! You thirst for blood from the roses in hand You spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance As they crown you queen of High School Land 
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen! Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the Queen!
Some girls are rational but Cersei was not She stared in mirrors thinking one single thought: (Ellie) There’s seven reasons this crown’s not good as got (Jeyne, Selyse, Lysa, and Lyanna) And so the night of prom, mercy! (Delena, Melara) Thus went her plot:
P is for Delena drinking poisoned punch R is for Lysa dashed on a rock - crunch! “O” is what Jeyne said when Cersei bludgeoned her brains And M is for Lyanna’s marinated remains
But! But!
Q is for Melara, quiet, drowned in the well And U is for Selyse’s pieces, sent to the Hells But Es are for the easy way in five minutes tops A one-legged girl can bring an N for end by calling the cops (What a bitch)
You got your gold now, Cersei, you got your crown You got your blood on the roses in hand You donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance As you crowned you queen of High School Land!
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! (God save the Queen) Down on your knees before the queen (God save the Queen!) Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh! Down on your knees before the (oh! the queen of High School Land!)
They wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your crown They washed the blood from each finger and hand Into a tight straitjacket Small padded cell Screaming “I’m the queen of High School Land!”
At least in your head, you’re queen of High School Land!
Oh pity the dead, you’re queen of High School Land!
(Check Cersei, choose Cersei, vote for Cersei Lannis-)

hello omg I just wanted to thank you for the robb/margaery art even though I haven't been into asoiaf in ages bc it's absolutely beautiful 💕 they remind me of like. when you're a young high school student and this is the It couple like the undisputed prom king and queen, leadership in prominent school organizations, popular and well-known around everyone, headed to really really good schools, but the thing is they're so genuinely nice to everyone, esp underclassmen, you can't help but root for them and their success like they're the older siblings you always dreamed of.... and that art of them dancing!! I swear my heart fluttered 🥺 the way margaery looks unflappable as usual yet softer to the trained eye (robb) and the way robb looks at her like 'I know you like me as much as I do you anyways.' wow. wow
sorry for the rambling, anyways here are my fic recs!!
oneshots:
Playing Politics by BerryBagel
dreams of wolves and roses by twistedsky
There Are Wolves About by madeinessos [web archive]
softens by tinytendril
trapped by jaimelanniser
bet on it (bet on us) by anniebibanananie (modern au!!)
multi-chap:
though the winter have begun by highgardensansa
castling the king by brokentombstone (this one has jonsa!)
The Queen Gambit by Nectere
hope you enjoy these as much as I do your art!! 💖💖💖
No need to thank me for the robbaery food op!! I'm so glad you like it! I love how you described them as prom king and queen 😭 They really do embody that vibe ejdozefoerzfo tysm for sharing your thoughts :')
AND THANKS FOR THE FIC RECS YOU'RE THE BEST 💖💖💖

modern asoiaf extracurriculars (but americanized bc ya girl doesn't wanna research british stuff)
arya plays on the girls rubgy team. she started the team herself because she wasn't allowed to play on the middle school football team. meant to parallel ned getting her into waterdancing when traditional westerosi swordfighting wasn't allowed
sansa is a soprano in the school chorus. cersei is her chorus teacher that used to be the school's big soloist when she was a student but now transfer student margaery tyrell is the lead vocalist who came with a letter of rec from principal bobby b
jon is in the school JROTC. signed up because his uncle did it and later joined the military. forced to stay in it after getting caught by the school security guards trying to visit his brother Robb who's the same age but a grade older and already in college. catelyn either got robb to skip a grade or jon held back bc she's that crazy pta mom
robb is a college freshman but still lives at home with cat and ned to save money (the starks are rich but feel like robb needs to be a man and pay his own way or soemthing). met his girlfriend jeyne in their intro the business class and had a brief pregnancy scare leading to an engagement 8 weeks into the semester (#ringbyspring baby)
bran used to think he was gonna grow up and be a pro football player (football is the modern knighthood in my AU apparently) but jamie the football coach/health teacher pushed him off the bleachers and broke his legs (rip)
rickon just got diagnosed with ADHD and claims shaggydog is his emotional support animal so he's the super popular kid in elementary school with a giant wolf dog at recess. all the staff hate him except his teaching aid osha
theon lives in the stark basement and tries to deal shitty weed at the kids' high school after he dropped out of college one semester in (he was a peace war and defense major, and yes before you ask that was a real major at my college)

#1, #5, #17 for the fic ask game!
ty for the questions!! they were hard!!
1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)
ok well the most strategic answer to this would probably be one of my au graphic collections (asoiaf and stranger things)!!! gives the reader an idea of the characters and relationships i'm interested in and the fact that i'm forever obsessed with aus. the kinds of stories that catch my interest/what i choose to expand on and what stays as just a lil idea. also!!! the reality that if they need something rn they might need to imagine a good chunk of it!! lmao
if they want to read an actual fic i would say all the right reasons (all the wrong places). it's a stranger things chrissy/robin bachelor au where you don't really need to have seen either source material to tap in, plus it's a finished original fic as opposed to a wip or fully adapted au.
5. What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!
ok really trying to think this one through and i bet something brilliant will come to me later but right now i just keep being like "hil how do you come up with such perfect adaptations from canon for your movie/tv show/whatever aus" like!!! babes i think real hard about it for a really long time 😩 it has to feel right!! and i have a backlog of au graphics i've finished making but haven't finished blurbs/casting for bc i can't figure out how this side plot works or whatever. it has to be the perfect marriage of the two things!!! it's tricky. that said i'm pretty pleased with myself for how i pulled it off for my sansa scream au howl and howl 2 (hopefully still maintaining some surprise for the finales!!! even if you can guess much of it ahead of time!!). howl 3 also in the works 😌
17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?
ummm i think howl hits that sweet spot actually 🙃 i write that for me and 1-3 potential readers i think.
the ones that are really just for me because they haven't even made it out of drafts or notes at all yet are like. high school musical robb/jeyne sansa/jon. sharp objects sansa/jon. killer klowns from outer space steve/chrissy/eddie lol. the host chrissy/robin and nancy/jonathan probably.
if i could just post notes and get away with it i would do that all the time!!!!! unfortunately for me a lot of the times people like fics to be actual writing and that takes me a lot longer than just coming up with ideas but i have ideas (especially au ideas) aplenty

About me
Hello, everyone!
You can call me Myrtle (or Asphodel - I’m not picky), I am 27, and I write fic and create funny posts from time to time. My pronouns are she/her (though I don’t mind they/them occasionally) and I’m dumb of ass and bi of sexual. 
My askbox is open to everyone! I don’t take requests, but if you have any ideas that tickle my interest I might be persuaded to write something.
Right now, I’m HotD trash and specifically Rhaenicent trash, though I do also post about asoiaf and fire and blood. If you’re here for my sillier posts you can find them under the tag ‘goofiness’.
My fics

Sitcom AU where Rhaenyra is a school counsellor with short hair and pronouns, and Alicent is a recently widowed soccer mom with too much on her plate. Alternating POV. Rhaenicent.
My one shots:
My Enemy Most Cherished || 3k || Explicit || Future Fic

Call her Mother || 2k || Teen || Missing Scene

Surrender to your Senses || 4k || Explicit || PWP
Alicent finds she enjoys getting tied up, Rhaenyra enjoys taking care of Alicent. Dom/sub. Rhaenicent. 
are you lonely just like me? || 19k || Explicit || Modern AU

Fic Rec Friday 6/2/23
Title: you come back with gravity
Rating: Explicit
Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Category: F/M
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
Relationships: Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, Jaime Lannister & Brienne of Tarth
Characters: Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, Tyrion Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Lysa Tully Arryn, Hyle Hunt
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Childhood Friends, Alternate Universe - High School, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Angst and Fluff and Smut, Protective Jaime Lannister
Summary: Now she runs back to the same old swing, the place that ties them together. Brienne doesn’t understand what she’s feeling, but she needs to be here–where she can remember all the versions of herself, and their history is as present as a living thing.
She rocks back and forth, clinging to where they started, because she has no clue where they’re going.
———
This week’s rec is from the wonderful, wild world of Game of Thrones fanfic. God, remember when that show was popular? Time keeps rolling on. But thankfully fanfiction is forever (and usually better than canon!), and so here we are.
I love a good modern AU of a fantasy story, and putting my favorite ASOIAF ship in it? Perfection. The love between Jaime and Brienne is so easily translatable to any time and setting, but something about seeing them in modern times especially warms my heart. Maybe because Brienne being tall and “ugly” (in quotes because looks are always subjective, and even if she was absolutely hideous (she’s not!) her beautiful soul makes it irrelevant) is less remarked upon than in canon? Maybe because Jaime’s genuinely good nature has more of a chance to shine through? I don’t know why, but I love it.
The relationship in this one builds naturally. Gently. We only see a few snapshots of their life together, but you never doubt their feelings or commitment. And the characterization rings true of their canon counterparts too, but with a modern flair that fits them well. Also, the role reversal in the last segment is just *chef’s kiss*. Perfectly emphasizes what birds of a feather they are, while ostensibly being opposites.
A truly lovely piece of writing!
———
Next Week: Time for another trip to visit our favorite autistic space man and his vulgar, dog shirt wearing sweetheart! And this one has an interesting trope as its main concept - temporary amnesia. But not even losing his memory will stop Nigel from being absolutely smitten with Adam Raki. That man is DOWN BAD.
See you next time, my lovelies!

say more asoif/succession AU HCs
this au is so insanely funny to me because like. so little would fundamentally have to change for the au to work! if you added ice zombies in the arctic to succession, it would become asoiaf. if you transplanted the characters in king’s landing from a medieval empire to modern-day corporate america, it would be succession. a snake eating its own tail, narratively.
ANYWAY here are the stark kids in the asoiaf/succession au. they’re not the main characters of the au because it needs the protags to be fundamentally bad people with bad intentions and sympathetic motivations. the starks are well-meaning rich people! that still gets dicey! but only the lannisters can encapsulate the raw fail energy and nauseating privilege of the roy kids.
robb: set to inherit the starks’ company, which is owned by king’s landing inc, a massive media conglomerate akin to disney. instead of going to war, he goes to soooo many board meetings. realistically he probably needs to be like 27 for the au to work (just graduated with his mba, idealistic and fresh-faced,) but it would be so funny if he was still 14 years old.
jon: joins the military to prove himself to ned and forge his own identity. is sent to northern iceland. finds ice zombies. gets disillusioned about the military and forms his own coalition against the ice zombies. he still has terminal main character disease. he just wants to count how many MREs and flare guns they have left.
sansa: i think sansa had all these dreams of girlbossing her way to the top as a humanitarian, forward-thinking High Society Figure. running a lot of charity orgs, being on nonprofit board. but she still has the mindset and judgments of the 1%, and it’s not until she works as an intern in King’s Landing Inc that her world expands. then her dad gets murdered. now she’s going to girlboss her way into a better future for everyone, whether everyone’s ready or not.
arya: she’s like if one of the roy kids genuinely wanted to destroy the roy family (the Roy Family being king’s landing inc.) she works covertly—she can put on the right costumes for a king’s landing ball, but she’s also exposing cersei’s embezzlement scheme. she’s pulling an ocean’s eight with gendry (working as waitstaff) and hot pie (hacking offsite from arya’s kitchen.) she also has some Nepo Baby Disease and isn’t always as self aware as she wants to be. cue character arc!
bran: his story also remains the same. jaime pushes him out of a window after witnessing him and cersei. years later, he goes to college and realizes the weirwood network still exists. has to hide out in arya’s apartment when the lannisters try to have him killed for that bc a magical tree spy network would drive stock prices down.
rickon: sells ecstasy to his classmates’ parents at his private high school

20 Questions For Fic Writers
Tagged by @elder-flower
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
32 (20 are user-locked)
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
1,238,164
3. What fandoms do you write for?
For the past five years, it has been iterations of A Song of Ice and Fire (the book canon, Game of Thrones, and House of the Dragon). Prior to that, I've written fics for Sailor Moon, Gundam Wing, Kingdom Hearts, Fushigi Yuugi, High School Musical, RENT, The Dresden Files, Harry Potter, Glee, and BBC Sherlock.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
the gather, the bend, the bringing forth (Game of Thrones S8 canon divergence)
some nights the lighthouse, some nights the sea (transatlanticism) (Game of Thrones S7 canon divergence)
the silhouette of a single memory (Game of Thrones reincarnation AU)
all the ground beneath with tears and blood (Game of Thrones/The Vampires Diaries fusion)
where ruin also exists (A Song of Ice and Fire, post-ADWD)
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Even before I started writing in the ASOIAF fandom, I did tend to write bittersweet endings. Loss and grief is a fascinating frame of reference for an otherwise happy ending and I've always liked being able to write about those conflicting emotions. That said, it was probably never let me go.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Haha, lmao—this is definitely the silhouette of a single memory and its adjoining prompt ficlets.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
My canon divergent fics for Game of Thrones sometimes get the rare grumpy butt but honestly, I pay too much in taxes to be bothered by someone trying to be snide behind the anonymity of a computer screen.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Sure? I think my smut is pretty tame compared to a lot of stuff I read but I do write it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Yes, I've written plenty. Sailor Moon/Gundam Wing and Game of Thrones/The Vampire Diaries might be the craziest though, considering how ridiculously dissimilar the two canon sources are.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
the gather, the bend, the bringing forth has its beginning chapters translated into Russian here
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes and no. My old RP partner @lyrangalia and I used to email RP during slow days at work and through that was born the AMD and Silvered Lightning universes. But since these technically never started as fic, then it's kind of in that weird uncategorized space.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
All time? I'm not sure if I have a single one that takes the top spot. I've liked Tomberly (MMPR), Willabeth (POTC), Neal/Sara (White Collar), Parker/Eliot/Hardison (Leverage), and Jonerys (ASOIAF) but I love them all equally.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Hands down, Arcana. The reason I won't finish it is because I fell out of love with the source material (it didn't age well) and the author of said source material (he's kind of an asshole!). I do still love the character that this fic revolves around and it's removed enough from the source material that I could finish it but...
16. What are your writing strengths?
Characterization and dialogue, probably? Who knows.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Characterization and dialogue, lmao.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Eh. It can be done and I've done it a few times honestly. I don't make a habit of it because it's just a bit of a headache to translate.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Sailor Moon.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Based on re-readability? a silhouette of a single memory and where ruin also exists
No pressure tags: @jellybeanficwriter @moondancer71 @zavocado @kiaxet @luthien-under-bough @calenlily

Fandom Trumps Hate 2023
I'm participating in Fandom Trumps Hate (@fandomtrumpshate) this year, and like I should probably promote it so y'all are getting a too wordy post on the topic and I apologise for that.
What is FTH?
FTH is a cross-fandom charity auction that has been running since 2016, focused on supporting small-scale non-profits on a series of progressive issues in the US. Why the US? Because the auction began as a direct response to the results of the 2016 elections there. This year's supported organisations cover a variety of issues.
How does it work?
This is not a commission. The FTH tumblr goes into this more in-depth, but in essence: creators such as myself decide which organisations they would like to support, and bidders bid the amount they are willing to donate. The highest bidder at closing donates to one of the chosen causes, then receives a thank you gift for their donation, tailored to their preferences.
Important dates and details?
Auctions are currently open for browsing! This will give you an opportunity to see what fanworks are on offer before bidding opens. The easiest way to do this is by browsing the tagsets for fandoms that interest you.
Bidding opens March 1st (08:00 EST) and closes March 5th (20:00 EST). Proof of donations are due March 12th.
Why are you doing this?
Because I can.
Nah, participating in a fandom auction is one of those things I've said I'd like to do once and never actually managed, and I got sweet talked into it this year.
What are you offering?
Ohhh, this is the fun question, isn't it? I've officially offered a story of up to 5K words in one of three fandoms, but if you are interested in a fandom I've not offered but previously written for that may be negotiable. As for length, I have found that fics will be precisely as long as they want to be--I'd much rather say up to 5K and write 10K than say 5-10K and write 3K.
Examples of my work Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time fic can be found here and my Miss Fisher fic here, but in general my work leans towards character-driven and bittersweet fics, competence kink, and the mortifying ordeal of being known. (Are the cool kids still saying that? Probably not.) My smut leans into soft horny even when kinky, which tends to be either very much someone's tastes or very much not. I love writing so many classic fic tropes and kinks, so if there's something you're interested in but are uncertain, feel free to ask!
Unwilling to address: Scat/watersports, ageplay including usage of daddy/mommy/girl, underage/high school AUs or college AUs where focus is on the college element, casual misogyny or sexual violence (narratively relevant is fine), dubious/non-consensual sex that is not treated as such, revenge porn (literal revenge porn or the "Punish character X" type), power dynamics where there’s a potential abuse of power, humiliation.
Now, onto the fandom specific details:
Game of Thrones: Jaime/Brienne, other pairings with discussion. Prefer to avoid Brienne with major body image issues, ESPECIALLY when phrased about feeling like a “real woman”--insecurities, yes, but not as the driving narrative force. Not interested in Cersei-bashing fics--she's awful, I'm happy to make her awful, but I don't want to make her one dimensional. While happy to incorporate elements of the book canon, this story would be primarily driven by show canon dynamics/characterisation. Happy to write in a canon or AU setting. Into this fandom, but what I offer isn't quite to your taste? Check out other asoiaf/GoT creators here.
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: TV/film canon. Any pairing, canon or fanon. I primarily write Phrack, but as my ao3 will tell you there's very little I've not dipped my toe into. If you are interested in Dot/Hugh fluff, I'll do it but it's not a strength. I strongly prefer canon set stories for this fandom. Into this fandom, but what I offer isn't quite to your taste? Check out other MFMM creators here.
Wheel of Time: I am offering anything centred around Lan, Nynaeve, and/or Moiraine, whether it's platonic or romantic or pre-romantic. I have read the books many times, but this offer is for TV canon only due to other commitments. If, however, you want something like a missing scene from the first few books, that can be discussed during the bidding process. I strongly prefer canon set stories for this fandom. Into this fandom, but what I offer isn't quite to your taste? Check out other WoT creators here.
Anything else?
Not really! My offerings page can be found here. When auctions go live on March 1st you will be able to access the bidding page from there. If you have any questions, whether that's about how this works or what I am/am not willing to write or something else entirely, my Tumblr inbox is always open and I'm happy to answer publicly or privately. If you prefer the answer be private, please ensure you have not selected to make it anonymous and mention it in the message!
