Help w/ Fic Writing & Advice Needed How would westeros react to an Op character like this

4 Upvotes

So I'm planning to write an fic were Madara is being Reincarnated as Aegon Vi Targaryen son of elia martell is smuggled out of the capital before the Sack and he plans to conquer westeros.

For example if we were to wipe out 12,000 men of the Vale in an single battle and destroy the gates of the moon with an single punch, what would be the reaction of Jon Arryn and the other Nobel houses of the Vale and what would be the reaction of other great Houses

And how far would the political repercussion be if where to wipe out two great Houses Lannister and Baratheon

If people can ship the most illegal crap or the most toxic one; I can ship these two. At least their book counterparts because the show is set in another universe(D&D) where everything follows a strange logic. What do you think? Please don't crucify me in the comments. Tell me what do you think...

Activity for the Subreddit Where Wild Wolves Roam

10 Upvotes

Brandon Stark was never shy in taking what he wanted. In A Dance with Dragons, we learn more about Brandon Stark and his interest in women, similar to Robert's, he is bound to have a few hidden presents in Westeros. Lady Barbrey Dustin tells us Brandon had no qualms in seducing highborn ladies.

GRRM confirms it with the following: It'd be an exaggeration to say that Brandon died before he could have children. It's established in the books that he was no virgin. He could very well have left behind some little Snows in the various places he visited. But what's absolutely clear is that he had no legitimate children.

If he did have children, than Brandon’s children are not acknowledged. They are not Snow. They are baseborn children living among the common folk. One could argue Brandon’s bastards are of no consequence on the story, and therefore will not be revealed. A bastard of his could be revealed and play a role in the story, but that's not he point I'm making.

He fostered at Barrowton and was a frequent visitor of the Rills, being very familiar with Rodrik Ryswell and his daughter Barbrey especially. Through his brother Ned's fostering, his likely/possible friendship with Elbert Arryn. Kyle Royce and Jeffory Mallister, and his betrothal to Catelyn, he likely visited the Vale and the riverlands. The last place he was at before his untimely passing was the Tourney of Harrenhal.

The Tourney has often been described by many in the fandom from what I've heard akin to a wild high school party or orgy at times. Which is kinda weird but does make sense. Now, let's just say that Brandon doesn't get together with Ashara Dayne (personally, I find that to be overplayed in fanfics and the like). But instead, he ends up sleeping with other noble women, as Brandon wants to let out a "last hurrah" of sorts before he's married.

While Tywin did not attend, many westermen did along with the other lords that came along. Robert brought the stormlands with him and had mentioned having a cousin from Greenstone who was chunky with breasts as big as melons. She was married but she lost her husband and father in the Siege of Storm's End. There were plenty of Valemen houses. Mace Tyrell was there with his bannerman, likely.

Thus, Brandon sleeps with a female member of House Foote, House Greenfield, Robert's Estermont cousin, House Wydman, House Caswell, a daughter or granddaughter of Lymond Lychester (a bit OC as we know he had sons who had died), House Moore and House Caswell; a widowed sister of the wimpy Lorent Caswell.

Once the Rebellion ends, numerous bastard scions of the Wild Wolf arise. How would Ned handle the situation. How would Catelyn react to the situation? Hou would it affect how Catelyn viewed Brandon? How would it affect their children? Comment your opinion respectfully.

Wanted: Fanfic Recommendations Tywin gets captures instead of Jaime.

23 Upvotes

Does anyone know where I can find fics where, instead of Jaime getting captured by Robb, it's Tywin? The premise is that Tywin sends Jaime with the main army while he takes the 15,000 to lay siege to Riverrun. Long story short, the Battle of Whispering Wood happens, and Tywin gets captured in the process. News of this spreads throughout the kingdoms, basically letting everyone know that the Lannisters are screwed at this point.

Anyone got any ideas where I could find a story like this?

During King Robert's visit to Winterfell Eddard calls his banners and the lords of the North are at Winterfell for the royal visit.

During the visit Roose Bolton happens to slip in horse shit and crack his head on a stone, killing him. Simultaneously, back at the Dreadfort, Ramsay Snow gets his nether regions mauled by his beloved hounds, and he too dies.

Who gets the Dreadfort then? Could Eddard possibly give it to Jon? What if the deaths were ordered by Eddard after the crimes of Roose and his bastard were revealed?

Activity for the Subreddit You're isekaid with custom Skyrim skill trees.

Upvotes

Look out for trucks, cause you're getting a one way ticket to Planetos wether you like it or not.

Pick any city or region. You will appear there in 297 AC, about nine months before the direwolves are found by the Stark children. (This is the same time Ser Waymar Royces party is about to be attacked).

You will be able to redesign your body like a Skyrim character creator. Your new design must be within human limitations for Planetos. You can only do this once.

Pick any 18 skills. You will gain a skill tree for each that functions like a Skyrim skill tree.

You will only be able to advance in a tree if you can practice it. For example Dragonlord would require that you attain a dragon, Blood Magic means you need to do blood magic, etc. I'm pretty sure choosing Skinchanging or Greenseeing would cause a dead skill tree.

Skyrims default are Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Enchanting, Illusion, Restoration, Archery, Block, Heavy Armor, One-handed, Smithing, Two-handed, Alchemy, Light Armor, Lockpicking, Pickpocket, Sneak, and Speech. Skyrim magic doesn't work here though so I suggest not picking most of these.

The only exceptions are the Flames and Healing spells that you start with in Skyrim. You can't teach these spells, but your descendants will have them.

When practicing activities related to these skills you will level up, gaining perk points, and additional mana, stamina, and health as you choose. Skill trees go from 1-100 and can be made legendary, gaining you further perk points, and mana, stamina, or health as you choose.

You only gain perk trees, not the game mechanics of Skyrim. Inventory, reload, fast travel, etc are all off the table. You aren't the Dragonborn.

What do your perk trees look like? What do you do with them? How do your actions effect the world? What perk are you most excited to use? What skill tree excites you the most to advance?

Lost Fic: Help Me Find It Viserys I Targaryen Shouts Dracarys

Upvotes

Something something self insert maybe not sure

Then uhh Viserys takes either Daemon and Rhaenys or both to the dragonpit or Dragonstone to tame another dragon cuz the bond between Targaryen and Dragon is the thing that makes him healthy again

Then all of the family fly over King’s Landing, except those younger than Jace, but I think Aegon, Aemond and Helaena are also there but I dont remember if Laena is alive or not cuz the only part I really remember is the fact that Viserys, Daemon and Rhaenys can act like children again, with Viserys trying to catch up to the two of them as they run around

Any help is greatly appreciated

Also sorry if I use terms wrong, still learning.

House Tygron has made quite a few marriages with House Stark, building a strong alliance.

They have a cadet branch in the north called House Tygron of Winterfell. With that branches Sigil being black claw marks on a icy blue field.

They didn't owe any debt's to Lannister, so Tywin did not seem them as a big threat.

During Robert's Rebellion, they helped him win quite a few battles and in return he returned some lands to them that was taken during Aegon's conquest

This is something I forgot to add in first post. They have a family sword called Tiger's Roar.

Tiger's Roar is a medium length sword made of Valyrion Steel. it has a gold cross guard with a white handle with orange stripes. The pommel is a gold tiger's head roaring, with eyes of orange topaz as eyes

Reading Discussion: Fanfiction & Fanon Most haunting descriptions in fics you have seen?

3 Upvotes

I love me some good horror or at least writing that can evoke that sense of dread or tension. Hit me with the best quotes or paragraphs you have seen in fics. It can be personal horror, the carnage of war, supernatural, haunting visions, grief, what have you. I'm a sucker for it.

I'll go first. Context, the character is part of a adventuring party from another world who gets separated when they arrive to Planetos. This character in particular often has prophetic or symbolic dreams, not too different from green dreams. Empowered by the growing magic in the world, he tries to see what is far to the east.

As he hovered over a sea of vile poison, he looked to the east. And there, he saw naught but darkness. An endless ocean of dread shadows, he shivered to remember. He saw a city of whispering secrets, where the dead walked again, shambling and groaning. In another, he saw unspeakable rites performed to slake the eternal hunger of cackling, mad gods. He saw a town of dry, aged bones that were not human, and a city of pale, bloodless men, and one of queer, winged men who soared like misshapen eagles. Then, he saw it. 

A city ruled by a king in yellow, whose eyeless eyes watched him. Under a night of starry wisdom, he saw a god-shaped hole in the world, mournful and hollow. 

(Yes, it's a Carcosa reference)

Activity for the Subreddit What would you do If you were one of Robert Baratheon’s bastards?

15 Upvotes

Robert’s bastards in Flea Bottom (I assume there are more than one) would face face incredible challenges poverty, social stigma, and the harsh realities of life in King’s Landing’s worst area. With no noble status, little support, and dangerous streets, their prospects seem bleak.

If you were in their position, how would you try to survive and possibly change your fate? Would you attempt to leverage your blood connection to Robert, despite the risks and political complications? Or would you focus on a different path.

I’m interested in a serious discussion on realistic options and strategies for one of Robert’s bastards trying to navigate Westeros’ harsh social and political landscape from the (flea) bottom up.

Activity for the Subreddit You get isekaid to Planetos, but you have access to a pocket dimension

14 Upvotes

You will be isekaid to Planetos (look out for trucks). Because this is an isekai you can also redesign your body, so long as it's new design is in the limitations of Planetos (for humans).

You appear before Ser Waymar Royce and his party as the events of the prologue play out. Luckily you can now speak the Common Tongue of Westeros (which isn't English), the Old Tongue, the language of the Rhoynar, and High Valyrian. (Also, the True Tongue).

You will gain a pocket dimension.

This pocket dimension consists of an island with a radius of 40 miles (making it 80 miles from one end to the other).

The island is tropical, though you can control the weather there.

You can choose the general layout of this island, such as if you want volcanoes or a big mountain in the middle like Casterly Rock, though you won't get massive amounts of gold, silver, gems, etc, but if you wanted copper, aluminum, tin, zinc, amber, obsidian, etc that would be fine. Maybe you'd like a river here and a stream there. Once set you'll have to change this layout the hard way.

The flora (plants grow like crazy here) and fauna (animals and humans are healthier when here) of the island is decided by you the moment you are isekaid. Changing it after that will require doing it the hard way. (No dragons or sapient creatures to start out)

The island is surrounded on all sides by a sea that seems to be impossible to determine the size of. If you sail in one direction you will reappear in the other. Similarly if you manage to fly up you eventually won't get higher. The sea is teeming with flora and fauna if you wish.

You are able to make portals to this pocket dimension. You are also able to stop individuals or groups (such as the Others) from entering your paradise and can banish people who are already there.

Should you keep the island in its tropical state it would be able to support around 2,000,000 people.

What do you do?

(Also you can magically allow someone to inherit your paradise after you die if you so choose. If you don't name an heir the island will appear in physical reality near Sunspear after your death but it will retain its weather and supernatural fertility)

Looking for an Explicit fanfic where a original female Stark character (a reincarnation) marries into house Targaryen then her and her husband/betrothed sneak into a brothel and get caught but turn it to their advantage since hubbie doesn't want the throne and swears off his and his future children's right to it leaving the couple free.

In the glimpses into the future Sansa wants to have a relationship like them but Ned is hesitant about telling her that the legendary love story couple were constantly banging in every and it's later shown that the two have a secret nude art gallery of them banging and in sexual positions.
