Comment fic meme #2

[gotexchange_mod]

After the first round of got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (here's a list of all the fics that were written last time), so I thought it might be fun to do this again. (Like last time, it's posted on the mod account journal because I don't want to enable anonymous comments on the exchange community.)

I changed the layout to one that still supports comment titles. I hope it works for everyone. If there are any problems, please let me know.

A couple of rules, or rather guidelines:

- please include the pairing/character (and maybe a short prompt/kink) in the comment title - both for prompts and for fills.
- there are both show and book fans on this comm, so please warn for book spoilers beyond AGOT in the comment title.
- anonymous comments are enabled, but I'd appreciate if we kept them to a minimum. If you absolutely want to go anon, okay, but I'd rather we kept this as non-anonymous as possible.
- all prompts are welcome: smut, gen, romance, fluff, angst, het, slash ... anything goes.
- and the usual: be civil, no character/pairing bashing, no kink shaming etc.

It's perfectly fine to repost prompts from the last comment fic meme or from the exchange.

As with any kink meme, this is only fun if people also fill prompts, not if there are only requests.

FILL: Brandon/Lyanna - pre-series - belonging to Winterfell (pt 2/2)

[juno-chan.livejournal.com]

He kisses her and it is dangerous, feverish (not at all like the first time where she’d giggled slyly and turned her face up to him, show me what a real kiss is like, Brandon), but there is that taste of winter in his mouth, that wildness that is so intoxicating and yet so familiar, it is in us both, it passed Ned and Benjen but we are the same, we are one heart, a wolf’s heart.

His touches are bold, because he has always been the brave one, and she scrambles to keep up, always the little sister, the little one. He presses her back against the mattress and it isn’t so different, really, from those days under the trees, it is closer, it is better, it is more home than she has ever been in all her life. There is pain but that too, isn’t so different from play-sparring with wooden swords, the pain is a good memory and this one is, too.

She waits for the shame, after (what would Father think, what would Ned or Benjen say, if they knew, she pushes those thoughts away as quickly as they come), but it does not come, only a sort of satisfaction (Catelyn Tully will be lady of Winterfell but she will always be first lady in his heart, he said, he promised) and when he playfully touches her nose, it is, really, not so different and as though nothing has really changed.

She laughs.

“I won’t let him have you,” he says stubbornly, and he pulls fallen petals from her hair where they have caught on the tangles, freeing her from their snare, and she laughs again.

(He takes her anyway, to a tower, to a tower to die.)

It seems in another life, another life without laughter or flowers or snow or weirwoods that she holds the babe to her, he is all Stark (all Stark she thinks wryly) with dark hair and dark eyes, he is no prince that was promised, he is the North, he is Brandon, he is home. She could laugh or she could weep, he is Brandon but Brandon is no more.

She holds him close to her because she is hot, so very hot, and his cheek is cool like a winter snowflake, like winter’s kiss back in the cool familiar North.

Her brother comes for her, one day, and she hates herself a little for wishing for another brother in his place, for wondering why Brandon is gone and Father is gone and she is almost gone and Ned is alive, and she hates herself and blames the fever. (Come out to die, they whisper that he had shouted, and now she does not choose and instead she smiles as she cries, he kept his promise, he loved her best, loved her most.)

Ned almost sees it, she thinks, when he takes the child in his arms, the curve of his cheek, the jut of his nose, but if he sees it he quickly closes his mind to it, quickly decides no, never (it is easy enough, to do so) and she lets it be, lets him be.

“Will you take us home?” she asks, and Ned furrows his brow (Winterfell is his now, she supposes, Winterfell and the North and a summer bride as his lady that somehow Lyanna does not resent any longer, perhaps it was never about the castle but perhaps it is just because she is tired, so tired.) and looks at the babe. “Promise me, Ned. Take us home. Promise me.”

He looks at her with those solemn grey eyes and touches her cheek, her son still swaddled in his arms. “I promise,” he says, and she smiles, and she sleeps.

I had no idea I wanted this. But it's utterly perfect and beautiful and I would totally be okay with this being canon. I LOVE your Lyanna, all wild and Northern and independent, and at the same time a scared little girl who is afraid that her brother will marry some Southern lady and not love her anymore, afraid of Rhaegar's attention that she never asked for. You just made Brandon/Lyanna so heartbreakingly beautiful, I can't help but ship it. And it's so sad, how he promises to keep her safe, but of course he can't ... Now I just want an AU in which they were happy. ;)

I'm rambling, but this is just wonderful. :D

AHHH THANK YOU. This has actually never crossed my mind which is part of why I love these fic memes so much, because I saw it and was like "y'know...I can see it." AND NOW I THINK I SHIP IT GUH.

I am glad you liked Lyanna, I was wary about attempting her! :D

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I know, I love seeing all those prompts here (or during the exchange sign-ups). And you definitely made me ship Brandon/Lyanna. I usually ship Lyanna either with Robert or with Domeric, but I'll add Brandon to that list now. :D

Yaaaay!! :D

KSDJFAS;DFA DROWNING IN MY FEEEEEEELINGS OMG ;_____; I DON'T FEEL LIKE I CAN ADEQUATELY EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS, BUT I DO SO MUCH, OMG. I meant to reply earlier to cheer this on but got distracted by fandom march madness BUT ACK SO MUCH LOVE.

I looove how you write Lyanna, wild and improper and unashamed and somewhat spoiled and jealous of Catelyn, but still just a young girl at heart, and her relationship with Brandon straddles the line between wrong and almost innocent and playful, like a by product of their wolf's blood (I loove how you work that in). I love how you write Brandon, and her show me what a real kiss is like line to him, BECAUSE OH LYANNA, SHE WOULD SAY THAT TO HIM (yeah I have headcanon for a character we've never met /o\)

she does not know, then, all that that crown will mean, does not know the wheels of fate have already been set into motion as she runs and runs against it, in the opposite direction, to the North, to Winterfell

THIS BREAKS MY HEART because she just has no idea how bad things are going to get, and just Lyaannnnaaaa.

It seems in another life, another life without laughter or flowers or snow or weirwoods that she holds the babe to her, he is all Stark (all Stark she thinks wryly) with dark hair and dark eyes, he is no prince that was promised, he is the North, he is Brandon, he is home. She could laugh or she could weep, he is Brandon but Brandon is no more.

THIS MADE ME CRY, JUST SO YOU KNOW. LYANNA AND HER DEAD BROTHER BRANDON WHO DIDN'T COME FOR HER BUT TRIED TO AND NOW BABY JOOOOOON, WHO IS THE NORTH AND I'M JUST DYING IN MY FEELINGS. LYANNA ASKING NED TO PROMISE TO TAKE THEM HOME AND THEN DYING AFTER THAT, MY FEEEELINGS.

THIS IS INCOHERENT BUT BASICALLY I LOVE EVERYTHING *____*

AHHHH I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT! Just so you know I DID NOT SHIP THIS COUPLE BUT THANKS TO YOUR PROMPT I NOW TOTALLY DO.

I'm so glad you liked Lyanna! I was a bit nervous because we don't hear that much about her in canon and what we hear is idealized, and she was a real person and probably WAS a bit spoiled and selfish because she's the only girl and the baby of the family, but she's so YOUNG when so many awful things happen to herrrrrr. ;_;

I was debating at the end if Lyanna would even know about Brandon and her father dying, and HAD TO AT LEAST give her that peace, that Brandon tried to recover her, turned back from heading to his wedding because he LOVES HER BEST.

Thank you sooooo much for your wonderful comments, I'm so glad that you liked it, and thanks for giving me a new ship to wibble over!

“Will you take us home?”

And this is the line at which I started ugly crying.

This was incredible. I'd like to be more coherent, but this whole thing was beautiful and I could quote all of it.

Re: FILL: Brandon/Lyanna - pre-series - belonging to Winterfell (pt 2/2)

[juno-chan.livejournal.com]

Thank yooooooou!! That always made me so sad in canon, Robert asking why Ned buried her in the crypt and his saying that it was her place and that she WANTED TO COME HOME ;______; and it's like of course she wanted to come home to Winterfell and to BRANDON.

I totally ship this now.

I'm glad you enjoyed! :D

[lainemontgomery.livejournal.com]

Absolutely incredible. Oh my God. This is really a ship that I NEVER in a million YEARS thought I could get behind, but you've made a believer out of me. The wildness that Brandon and Lyanna see in each other, that they can't find in anyone else...and the constant connection to the idea of home...and of course, the ending with Ned....GUH. I'm dying over here.

Exquisite. Really.

[juno-chan.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh, thank you so much!! It wasn't anything that I ever considered, either, but I thought the idea was interesting and I wanted to attempt it, and I'm SO glad that you thought it worked out! The prompt and thinking about the pairing kind of made me ship it, and I'm glad that I'm converting others to ship it, too, COME SIT WITH ME IN MY DARK SPECIAL CORNER THE LANNISTERS DON'T HAVE A MONOPOLY ON THIS STUFF. XD

Thank you again, your words made me blush! :)
