probably going to be taking an axe to anything in my drafts / inbox and going fresh from here + adding some characters to bring myself more joy here, putting a bigger focus on just vibing to have a good time. probably also removing some characters, tis what tis.
aha, hey.
you want to write romance with me. you want to write romance with me so bad.
girls had no right being smart, had no right to be clever – or at least, that was the gist that had so long been spoken about women, the gist that had not taken hold in myranda, whose mind ticked and formulated thoughts and ideas far quicker than some of the men she'd seen taking up armor in hopes of becoming one of the winged knights. though the blackfish might not have fully caught on to her words, there was no doubting the curiosity she knew she had piqued by her line of questioning – no doubting the fact that the man who'd known her since she was little and ever more full of questions knew she did not ask unless she already had an inkling of the answer she'd receive.
myranda only smiles, warm and sweet as she brings her goblet of wine to her lips and drinks, before placing a hand upon his arm carefully. “you must stay for the tourney lord littlefinger is insisting we hold, i believe your little grand - nephew would find comfort in your presence.” that was, if the sweetrobin even made it down the mountain, she was starting to have doubts – starting to feel the ill at ease settling in her stomach that often came with a shifting tide. harry the heir was not being called to heel at last for only a sweet showing of kindness before his little lord paramount. but myranda was more interested in directing brynden's gaze to the girl littlefinger had touted as his bastard daughter, more interested in piecing together the missing link to the question of who she really was. she already had an idea, but proof . . . proof was necessary.
“perhaps he might even see fit to name you one of his winged men, if he does not find you have grown too wrinkled to wield your blade.” her lips curl into a teasing grin, the jest off of her tongue as easily as if she had been speaking to a friend her own age. “or maybe you will finally find yourself taken with a lady so that you may settle, i hear baelish's bastard daughter is quite lovely, pretty eyes. bluer than blue.”
TIME HAD SEEMED TO SLOW SINCE HIS ESCAPE . Riverrun was now in the past , as was the self - righteous look upon Jaime Lannister's face , occasionally still haunting him in short , subtle nightmares . should've socked that ugly git in the mouth when he'd had the chance . should've faced him in combat , maybe , and gone down like a true knight . . . and forsake every chance to ever help his family again . the few of them that were still alive , that was .
the Blackfish turned his own goblet in his hands , slunk down in his chair . he had believed the Eyrie safe to return to , but the news of Lysa's death had reached him just in time - and his journey thus had ended at the Gates of the Moon ; safely tucked away , for now , in the stronghold of a friend , until he had recuperated and healed the few wounds he had suffered during his escape . " I'll let you know once I've spotted a foolish girl around . " his voice sounded gruff as ever , but there was kindness in his eyes . he'd known Myranda since she was but a girl . since the days when she'd been unwed , unwidowed , and a little more lucky than she seemed these days .
Littlefinger knew of his presence and had offered copious invitations for him to stay at the Eyrie , but an ugly little weasle remained an ugly little weasle and he'd rather drown himself in the moat , than trust Petyr Baelish . to the daughter he had claimed was his , had Brynden paid no attention at all . " Catelyn , " he replied almost into his goblet , tully blue eyes grown distant for but a moment . he had failed his little Cat and now he sat trapped in the Vale , unsure of where to turn . his gaze switched to Myranda then , curiosity peaked at the odd question . she was a smart girl ; quick - witted and fast to catch on . and beyond the reputation as a terrible gossip , Brynden knew she rarely asked questions just for idle conversation . " why the sudden interest ? "
i made it to the weekend — which means replies and things are coming soon™️
asking the chat bc i am suddenly having doubts —

@sickfcks said : [ EYES ] sender makes receiver look them in the eyes, for jay & lottie.
she feels his hand first, rough pads of his fingertips against the petal soft skin of her jaw – curling around the bone, directing her chin from tucking away into his chest the way she had been. feels the gentle insistence of his action before the low rumble of his voice soothes through her ears, accent almost heavier on his words now that they're alone, now that she's beneath him. even through the pounding of her heart in her ears, she could hear the request – no longer asking, dictating that she look at him.
it was easier said than done, as if it weren't hard enough to merely keep her eyes open – to keep them from rolling back in her head each time he lingers closer to giving them both what they want. but so far he'd only teased, so far . . . jay had set his terms.
wide ocean blue eyes finally land on his face, pulled up from the depths as her hands press manicured nails into his forearms. “better?” she drawls, all honey as her teeth graze against her bottom lip, forcing herself to keep looking at him.
me staring at my additional muses i’m going to add list: you can’t just cast all the actresses from bridgerton
also me: SAYS WHO
to add more hotd / asoiaf characters or to not add more hotd / asoiaf characters
reverse meme call , specify muses as you see fit or suffer the hands of fate <3
sansa stark , novel & headcanon based - timeline / era flexible for interactions . i personally did not watch past sansa's marriage to r*msey b*lton on the show , and have no interest in any television based storylines. generally speaking, i will always find a work around to settle sansa into nearly any fantasy / historical / medieval based verse as is desired; for the sake of brevity, i will try to list them out below as they are created & thought of ! faceclaim is hannah dodd for most things - any aged up interactions will have a different face, though i am not yet settled on who it'll be.
house of the dragon / dance verse — the daughter of lord bennard stark, raised alongside cregan at winterfell as her father served as his regent. when her father and brothers were imprisoned for bennard's inaction and refusal to relinquish the lordship of winterfell back to cregan, sansa was made to swear fealty to her cousin, ever promising her loyalty to cregan over her father, in exchange for being allowed to continue her life as a highborn lady within the walls of the only home she had known -- with cregan acting as her intermediate to eventually wed her off, allowing him a bargaining chip he had not previously been given.
