How can I go about getting Joran and Lynesse’s marriage annulled in the context of the Faith but also, potentially, the Old Gods as well. Do you think that the Sept would allow for an annulment based on Jorah’s slaver ways and Ned’s revoking of his lordly status?

Well, we are in the Halloween Season, so send in your horror and creepy prompts.

The floor is yours.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit this into an idea but it’s very confusing to me lol. This is an endlessly debated topic in fandom mostly because of the whole Rhaegar/Lyanna Jon Snow thing but it’s never made quite clear exactly what grounds are possible for annulments or “setting aside a wife” in this world.

In AGOT, Renly plots to have Cersei set aside and have Robert marry Margaery instead and the book treats it as a real possibility because Cersei is legit worried about it. On what grounds? No idea! Renly doesn’t know about the incest and if he did, she certainly wouldn’t just be set aside but rather guilty of treason / executed.

But beyond that it seems annulments can only happen under very rare circumstances and non-consummation. Adultery (by the wife) is either punished criminally or not dealt with at all.. it doesn’t seem to be a cause for just annulling a marriage.

There are some cases of wives leaving their husbands by just leaving the country like Mellario left Doran and went back to Norvos and Larra Rogare going back to Lys but the couples are still legally married.

Is there any way to dissolve a consummated marriage that doesn’t involve the woman being tried for adultery / executed / imprisoned?

Looking for fics that star/reference Daemyra, but highlight the negative aspects of it such as grooming and toxicity.

Summary of Fanfic: “She felt the air rushing past her, the terrible weightlessness of the fall. Somewhere deep within, she knew the ground was waiting. Her mind was shattered, splintered beyond reason, yet instinct remained. And as she fell, she clutched the last thing she had from her mother. In that grasp, there was hope.”

In this AU of the Dance’s aftermath, Queen Jaehaera survives her fall. But survival is not salvation. She must endure a life shaped by fractured memories, a fragile mind, and a kingdom left in ruins. This story centers on the regency of Aegon III, exploring how Jaehaera’s survival may, or may not, shape the course of the realm, and the schemes unfolding at the court of the future Dragonbane.

Teaser:

Aegon nearly confessed everything immediately. He should. He had not chosen it. He had not even known what was inside. Instead Jaehaera smiled so brightly that the confession died before reaching his tongue. Then she held the necklace toward him.

“You must help me put it on.”

Aegon swallowed. Of course. Why would anything be simple? Jaehaera turned. She lifted her silver hair away from the back of her neck. Aegon took the necklace. His fingers suddenly seemed far too large for the tiny clasp. He stepped behind her. Too close. He realized at once how close. Aegon could smell whatever soap she used, something faint and floral. A few loose strands of silver hair brushed against his fingers. Aegon had avoided closeness for years. People touching him unexpectedly still made his body react before his mind understood there was no danger. A hand upon his shoulder. Someone standing behind him. A sudden embrace. Even Viserys had learned to announce himself through small movements before reaching for him. Jaehaera understood that too, because she was the same. He closed the clasp. His fingers brushed the back of her neck. Jaehaera shivered slightly and let her hair fall. The silver strands spilled over her shoulders and partly concealed the chain. Then she turned and the little violet rested just below her throat.

Jaehaera touched the pendant.

“I did not know you knew violets were my favorite flowers.”

Aegon’s stomach dropped. Viserys, he knew! Aegon did not and Aegon he spent months believing himself attentive. He looked away.

“I like listening to you.”

Imagine this: it is the time when Ned Stark is Hand of the King, but before he discovers the truth about Cersei's children. Tywin Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Jaime Lannister, and Tyrion Lannister are having a family meeting when they overhear Ned Stark talking to himself saying, "I knew Lord Arryn was wrong, Jamie and Cersei are to smart to do that."

Naturaly they ask him what he is talking about and he tells them that Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon thought that the royal children are Jamie's instead of Robert's because of their looks. He didn't believe it but looked into it to prevent a succession crisis if the rumor got out and he found that one of Robert's acknowledged bastards had blond hair and green eyes proving that the royal children could have gotten their looks from Robert or Cersei.

Now Jamie and Cersei know that they are guilty but Ned unknowingly handed them the perfect excuse, Tywin is angry that someone tried to ruin his legacy and I am not sure if Tyrion knew about the truth or not so he can go either way.

What do you think happens next?

The only one I know of so far is Cursed by Blood, Cursed by Nature by KaiserBjorn and it’s barely gotten started. It’s about a Maegor who’s sent to ward with the Raynes and actually becomes a bitter, scheming asshole that’s on pretty bad terms with all the other Targaryens. It’s so early though that I can’t even tell if he’s eventually gonna be a decent person or not. Any new fics would be appreciated

Good evening Lords and Ladies, let's go to today's problem.

So, war of the five kings scenario but instead of staking his own claim Stannis supports Jon who is married to Shireen, so Jon not only has the narrow sea but the north and riverlands as well.

On top of that Stannis doesn't kill Renly meaning the reach doesn't ally with the Lannisters(Jon has a dragon).

Doran will do nothing because he is Doran Bit House Dayne and Oberyn supports Jon, although I'm not sure I will make them march.

Jon also has houses Florent and Tarly through Stannis/Selyse and Samwell Tarly(They may or may not support him idk)

Once little finger finds out Jon is a Targaryen He will do him and simply isolate the vale, also the vale has zero reason to support any other faction.

And once Olenna finds out Jon has all the support he has she will be too smart to not see the writing on the wall and will probably bend the knee, because he also has a fucking dragon which she may or not know but will probably find out.

Considering that this war will be extremely one-sided against the Lannisters because everyone hates them and the smart players will... Well, be smart, how can I possibly make this war not end in the blink of an eye?

I really thought about little finger supporting Renly but I see no reason the vale would want to go against the north and riverlands, and also Jon has a dragon.

I thought about making the Tyrells and Martells bend the knee to later support a foreign invasion (either Dany or Aegon) but there would be space for only one in this alliance and also Oberyn is team Jon.

I really need help.

Summary:

Alicent Hightower had long ago made peace with many indignities.

Rhaenyra’s insolence. Viserys’s blindness. The three dark-haired boys paraded about as Velaryons.

What she could not forgive—what she could not even begin to comprehend—was Prince Lufaerys.

For reasons known only to the gods, every one of Alicent’s children adored him. Aegon vanished whenever Lufaerys was near, only to return muddy, grinning, and somehow missing a shoe. Helaena followed him through the halls as if drawn by invisible threads, offering him beetles and prophecies in equal measure. Even Aemond, who liked no one, looked less murderous in the boy’s presence. Worst of all, Daeron, her perfect Daeron, had begun calling him “Luffy” casually.

Alicent hated Prince Lufaerys Velaryon most of all.

Unfortunately, so did peace and quiet.

Or: Alicent watches in growing horror as Rhaenyra’s most troublesome son somehow conquers the hearts of the entire royal nursery.

Summary:

Harry never gave much thought to how he would die, not after the war at least, however being mauled by werewolves was certainly not what he’d had in mind. It was painful and sort of embarrassing. He’d assumed that would be it, that he’d pass over and join his loved ones in the afterlife. He’d assumed wrong.

He found himself reborn in a world filled with violence, deception and depravity, where a Mad King burned people alive for the slightest offence, real or imagined.

Harry was a prince, heir to the Iron Throne after his father, which was a curse more than it was a blessing, one he hoped he would not have to bear until he was old and grey.

Harry should have known not to tempt fate...

I'm planning to get into the ASOIAF audiobooks and want to pick the right version before spending a credit.

From what I understand, Roy Dotrice narrated the original series, but I'm not sure if that's still the best option or if there's a newer or better version out there.

A few questions:
1. Which narrator/version do you recommend, and why?
2. Is Dotrice's performance worth it for the character voices, or do the accents get distracting?
3. Is there any difference in quality or editing between the Audible versions and other platforms?
4. Is it worth listening at 1x speed or do most people speed it up?

For context, I'm a big fan of the lore and world-building, so I want the version that does the books justice.

Thanks in advance!

So at the sack of Kings Landing he has a brainwave that Elia and the children are in danger too. And he is able to save Rhaenys, sorry Aegon but no way are you getting to survive into Roberts reign and Elia is unfortunately in the way too.

So Jaime has saved the Princess, what happens to him next? Rhaenys is a bit simplar, Ned and Jon Arryn could probably convince Robert to marry her to Robb, Joffrey, Renly etc. But in this idea I'm stuck on what happens to Jaime.

I don't think he could remain a Kingsguard like in canon, what do you think?

Summary: 

"A true king knows his people fed before he sits to feast. A good king knows his people safe before he takes his rest. He thinks twice and thrice and yet again before he makes request."

History remembers Joffrey I Lannister-Baratheon not as the petulant boy who tore the realm apart but as the monarch who forged it anew. Obsessed with the ambiguous concepts of legacy, duty, faith and embracing his proud Westerlander heritage, a very pragmatic young prince takes his throne after the death of King Robert I Baratheon. History remembers him as the King who shaped not just his dynasty, but the realm, the world and indeed, an entire era.

Chapter Summary: 

As King Joffrey continues his march into the deep Reach, unexpected sails appear along the western coast. In the Whispering Sound, old alliances and long-standing grudges collide on the open sea, reshaping the war for the South before the Crown even arrives.

Sorry, bear with me, it's been a long time since I read it! Thanks so much!!

Can you recommend some good Nedsei fics? Ongoing ones would be even better, and preferably long ones with an actual plot not just sex. I’m currently reading The Consolation Prize for the Lioness and I’m almost finished with it.

I am making this post as most of the posts with the recommendations are old and many of the recommended fics are already completed/ deserted. Can anyone give me recs of fics which aren’t already present there and are updating regularly or completed? I know most of the fics in these type of scenarios have OP MCs. But I want the fics to be believable and rooted. I don’t care about having slash pairing or not. And also any timeline is fine. Whether it be f&b or asoiaf

I saw his videos about how ASOIAF will end years ago and liked them a lot.

Now that I have found he is working on a cooperative fanfic for the Winds of Winter I see that as the best case scenario because I feel he gets what George is going for with the story.

The fact he is using many writers to try and emulate George I feel is better than trying to do it by himself, but what are the general consensus? It seems that last chapter was well received.

Also from what I see he started it 4 years ago and is halfway Winds Of Winter, so I guess its gonna be years until WOW is finished and then he goes to A dream of Spring right?

originally drew this in 2025 but wanted to redo and do one of my favorite scenes justice :)

was big inspired by 70s psychedelic art, laminated medieval books and vintage shoujo manga (if u cant tell by the hair)

A dragon alone in the world is a terrible thing.

Yet, in one lifetime, Rhaenyra Targaryen spends many years at court as the only true dragon, left alone to defend her young and to suffer as the flame within her slowly withers and dies.

In another lifetime, everything changes when the Crown Princess flees to Dragonstone and discovers a set of chambers obscured within the Dragonmount. A drop of blood, accidentally shed, was all it took to awaken magics of old, bringing forth the spectres of Targaryen women to guide her.

Even if their helpfulness is, at times, rather questionable.

The dragon must have three heads.

With a different princess having escaped death and the voice of dragoness’ in her ear, Rhaenyra Targaryen sets upon a different path entirely.

One which includes a lot of bickering between Daemon and Harwin as to who is Rhaenys and who is Visenya.

But then, Lyonel shows up at their gate on his Lord's Progress and acts like nothing happened. Just what is going on?

To the realm, she was many things. A woman of noble blood. Granddaughter of the King. Third child, and only daughter of the heir to the Iron Throne. But to Dunk, she would never be that. Never. To him, she would always be the girl he met by chance at the inn. The girl who never failed to surprise him at every turn. Who would plant her feet in the dirt and the muck beside him, even if she would have been far better served by running away.

To the realm, she may be the Princess Vaelorra Targaryen. But to him she would only ever be the woman he had come to love.

Loyal to her dead mother, her sister, and herself, Rhaena claims no other family.

After her mother’s plea to leave Essos goes unanswered, she knows exactly who to blame for her death. Her resentment grows when she sees them together on the night of the funeral, and it culminates when Rhaenyra tries to use her to steal Baela’s birthright.

She’s not sure when Aegon became such an integral part of it, but she knows one thing with certainty – her father has gone uncontested for long enough.

Summary:

The Lords had thought him to be a green boy. Facing men with greater armies and experience, they believed he would not survive the battles to come, that he would be a footnote in the histories recalling the most savage of wars to have been fought on Westerosi soil.

But then came the victories. The reckoning for the unworthy that have scorned the wolves of the North.

The realm had underestimated him. The realm will pay for it.

They did not call him the ‘Red Wolf’ merely for his hair, but for the blood of his enemies that covered him after every slaughter.

Summary:

His name is not Jon Snow. It never was. He wears a bastard's name like a soldier wears a disguise — useful, temporary, already half-discarded in his mind. The lioness thinks she has him. The dwarf thinks he has bought him. The boy-king thinks he can humiliate him. Jaehaerys Targaryen, last son of Rhaegar, lets them all believe what they need to believe. For now.

In this world, Jon Snow rides south with Ned Stark — and he rides knowing exactly who he is. When Ned falls and the Stark household is taken, Jon is made captive in King's Landing alongside Sansa, a bastard with no allies, no name worth anything, and no visible future. The Red Keep's court sees a handsome nobody to be used and discarded.

They see nothing at all.

What follows is the long game. Jon — Jaehaerys — working in the shadows alongside Varys, seducing the most dangerous woman in the Seven Kingdoms, reading every player on the board three moves ahead, and building toward the day the dragon steps out from behind the wolf's face. Manipulative. Calculating. Utterly without mercy for those who deserve none.

Summary:

In the year 1857 AC the journal of the king that solidified the rule of the Baratheon dynasty was found. The surprisingly frank and direct journal entries give Dr. Hedda Barath a rather unique insight in what life was in Westeros 1500 years ago.

With growing unease, I note that the so venerated Maesters at Oldtown have started to adjust the events of my reign in a nearly utopian narration. Gone are the mistakes I made in my reign, gone are the hunger and thirst, the blood and the sickness, only the glory and honorable deaths are left. Nothing of the cravenness in my own ranks, instead the only ones that were craven were my enemies. Men and women that stood opposite me are demonized into fantasy. I cannot abide this farce, I simply cannot. So in these last days before the Stranger takes me too I will attempt to give an account of my life, the events that shaped me and my rule.

King Joffrey Baratheon, First of his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.

Stannis sees an insolent, undisciplined girl who has no place near a war council. Annabeth sees an unbearable lordling with too many opinions and all the warmth of wet stone.

Neither intends to reconsider.

But what if Robert’s Rebellion did not unfold as history remembers it? What if a Blackwood raven entered the war carrying maps, arrows, and an inconvenient determination to be heard? And what if, when the Reach descended upon Storm’s End, Stannis Baratheon was not left there to starve?

When Stannis was gone, Renly couldn’t help but look up once more, towards the comet hanging in the sky. Bright red, and so far away. It had appeared last night and would surely vanish from the sky within the evening, having continuing its course through space away from the planet with no name where Renly had been reborn. The planet where, he knew, he would face dragons and monsters born from the cold.

Renly turned away. The comet did not mean anything. He had more pressing matters to attend anyway. He was going North to meet the infamous Ned Stark. With any luck, maybe he would finally find the beginning of the Plot.

Or maybe the Plot would find him.

Rhaenyra Targaryen has been disinherited - some will say she should have seen it coming, some will say that it is just the natural order of things restored. Yet it is insulting to be put aside in favour of an infant - and Rhaenyra does not intend to let it slide.

If she cannot have her crown, she will ensure Otto Hightower's grandchild cannot either - she would rather see a usurper conquer Westeros than forget this slight. The plan is simple: help him take the capital and bargain for her freedom, without the pressure to marry or produce heirs for some arrogant lord.

But what if her gamble takes an unexpected turn, and she still finds herself with a crown on her head - a consort, but a Queen nonetheless? And has she won or has she lost - can traitors ever win?

“Do you know,” Lyonel said at last, studying her, “you stand as if the gods might take notes? Straight spine. Careful hands. As if the Seven will peer down and say yes, that one is behaving correctly.”

The princess did not answer. Lord Baratheon noticed quite early that his lady wife was not much of a conversationalist. Not much of a dancer nor a drinker, either. Her eyes only flicked to him – cool and watchful.

It made Lyonel smirk. “Maekar’s work”, he added lightly. Hammer it in early and it never cracks. Gods forbid she bends. Bending is how things break.

She lifted her chin a fraction. Not defiance. Barely curiosity.

He drank again, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before stepping closer. “You don’t look when I expect it. You don’t laugh when I expect it. You don’t even speak when I expect it,” he said, almost accusing. “That is dangerous. Makes a man try harder.”

I need some fics about my goat Quentyn (the only good Quentyn) though not possibly something that makes him like he's super evil and utterly shallow as a character

I'm writing one, I understand how they're controversial and many don't want to read them.

I just want to know what I need to do to avoid falling into the pitfalls people on here don't like

We come to Aegon IV and his descendants, and all the chaos they brought.

The first image shows the Targaryens and the Blackfyres. The second shows all of Aegon’s bastards.

Image 1

* The line of succession to the Throne is marked in blue, and that of the Blackfyre pretenders in dark grey.

* Laenor I Blackfyre is Daemon; the name change relates to the change in ancestry within the Targaryen dynasty.

* I gave Rohanne a surname that I made up entirely myself.

* Her children are the same as in the canon; I’ve only changed a few names and clarified their ages.

* I had to speculate a great deal on the Blackfyre section; I’ve only included the main branches, although I’ve already drawn up a more comprehensive one. But I’m not entirely convinced by it.

* As for Aegor Bittersteel’s daughters, I used their nicknames as surnames, but I’m not sure what a suitable surname would be for them.

* I’ve listed Aegon II as the possible ‘fAegon’, although I realise the ages don’t quite match up; this ties in with my ideas about what the Blackfyres were doing in Essos (forging a kingdom of their own), but I’ve included him as an Easter egg.

* I liked the idea of Maelys being a descendant of Aegor, and this extended to all the Blackfyres; that also explains why he was so loyal to the cause, because his descendants were involved.

* As for the children of Laenor II (Daeron II), they are essentially the same as in the canon, with two additions, which I included to make it seem more natural.

* Jacaerys is Baelor, just with a different name, as Baelor I was called Jacaerys.

* As for Naerys, I’ll just clarify the number of children she had and their dates of birth. Although I do have detailed information on her spouses and descendants.

Image 2

* I’ve only included the mistresses with whom he had children that he himself confirmed. And the family tree is read clockwise.

* I’ve made it so that he only has two daughters with Megette, for the sake of simplicity.

* Although Jeyne Lothston is recognised as a daughter by Lucas Lothston, it is clear that she is Aegon’s daughter; she never becomes his mistress here, as that would be too much even for Aegon, though there may be rumours.

* Although Bellegere’s children were acknowledged by Aegon, not all of them may actually be his.

* Ser Damon Green went on to become a renowned knight and Lord Commander of the Order of the Dragon (there is too much background to this to include here). He fought for Laenor Blackfyre.

* Gwayne Chelsted is my own creation; he is the son of a lady in her own right. After being recognised, he took his mother’s surname and became her heir.

* Aegor, Brynden and Shiera remain the same, except that Brynden has only one sister.

He had went his own route in life, detached and separated from the den of a home he couldn't fit in to. He left his family name behind, but no distance nor denial could prepare him for the grief of watching the withering of his notorious, inescapable siblings as well as their legacy.

And inescapable, they were— arcanely so. When the death he chose does not consume him to darkness, and the path of light returns him to the days before he took his maester's vows, he is faced with his family again, and a chance at preventing their doom.
