Might fuck around and become a classic literature nerd again and over-analyze symbolism and the rhetoric of theme in relation to the political climate of the time

I’ve been considering writing one-shots of this fic since I’m desperate to write Arthur and Silvia’s scenes without the burden of the whole story. Would anyone be interested in reading that?

Hi Grace! Your latest gifset was so beautiful! What can you tell us about the story?
Thank you so much for asking!
The fic is titled “Vagabonds” and while it has seven different POV characters, it follows three distinct storylines. Let’s start with Florys as she is who I would call the main main character.
Florys Daulton was raised on the Stony Shore in the North by her uncle Branston Daulton and his family, as her parents both died at different points in the rebellion. Despite being raised with her father’s family, Florys is the heir to her mother’s family lands and titles once her aunt who currently rules passes away. Being raised by family, but still as something of an outlier, she never felt like she truly belonged anywhere. Always lonely, and haunted by the circumstances of her birth, Florys was notoriously prone to melancholy and isolation. The story starts in season one shortly before Robb calls his banners and Florys travels to Winterfell and then south with her uncle and his hosts, planning to foster with her aunt throughout the War. However, for various reasons Florys’s plans go awry and she is sent away from her aunt’s on something of a quest to reach her cousin Gareth Daulton who is a brother of the Night’s Watch. However, this means having to venture through the war-torn Riverlands and through the bitter North which is at that point being ravaged by the ironborn. When she eventually reaches the Wall and reunites with her cousin, she also reunites with Jon Snow, who she had known for a year in her youth when she fostered with two of her cousins at Winterfell. And that’s only the beginning of her story.
Next we have Maric Snow, raised alongside Florys on the Stony Shore, but sharing no bloodlines. Maric is a unique case of being a bastard born of a married noblewoman who was allowed to remain in her husband’s castle as part of the family unit. Maric’s relationship with his step-father Lord Branston is constantly strained and deeply complex as he feels equal parts resentful and grateful to him. He is the Golden Boy of the family, despite his birth, and is the most accomplished rider, swordsman, and jouster, not to mention his calm and charming wit. When the Starks march south, Maric runs from the fight in the first battle of the war (the whispering wood) and takes up with a marauding pirate crew. He goes on a long and inconsistent arc as he tries to content with his mistakes, make amends, face his fears, only to constantly fall back into cowardice and vice just when it might matter most that he grows. If he ever does…well that’s the question, isn’t it?
Now we have Yvaine Sand, a Dornish bastard of House Dayne, she was the illegitimate daughter of the famed Sword of the Morning. Yvaine was never treated poorly by her family, or as less than, and was encouraged to pursue all the education and experiences of a noble dornishwoman. This suited her, as she was graceful, intelligent, and as clever with her words as her silences. As she grew, she also learned to fight, and became a remarkable swordswoman, hoping she might one day hold the title that was all she ever knew of her father. Until one day when her dreams are crushed and she’s asked to deliver that legendary sword Dawn to a boy on the Wall, a quest that nearly claimed her life as she and her merchant fiancé set off north, only to be swept East by a storm that lands them in numerous perilous circumstances. And once she finally makes it to the Wall, she finds much more than she bargained for.
If you want to know more about the story or individual characters, please ask!
