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.

Filled prompts:

Re: FILL: Roose/Theon (with bonus Ramsay/Theon): Bad Blood, Part III

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I like this. It's not quite what I had in mind, but it's amazing anyway, so who cares what I hda in mind. I love Theon's little bit of hope, how he actually thinks Roose is going to help him against Ramsay .... and Roose who plays along and creeps a little, and then of course turns out to be not much better. And I just love Roose's whispering and his creepy little smile. And stroking Theon's cheek? Is hot. (I just wrote "choking" instead of "stroking" ... I really seem to be in a Bolton mood.)

Thank you so much for writing this. :D It's like you're constantly trying to make me happy here. I just realised that I have no House Creepy icon. :(

I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I know that it wasn't exactly the prompt but I went a bit off there when Ramsay came in. To be honest, I will likely write this again, and soon. I love this pairing. It's so wrongly hot. I just wanted to get to the payoff and needed to prolong the false courtesy. :)

You need a house Creepy icon, a pink squid or something. jesatria posted some Bolton icons in valyrian_forged a while back as well.

Re: I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I was more thinking of Theon actively trying to appear, erm, "useful" to Roose, but I love the way this turned out. Because, as you said, Roose/Theon is epic in any form. Roose is such a troll.

I need to go look for them, then. I have several Baratheon icons (still need a proper Stannis icon once the season starts) and one for Sansa, but no Greyjoys and Boltons.

Re: I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I would be into writing that, in all connotations of the word useful. I have a feeling that it will be epic. Now I'm all excited about this and want to sit in my office writing this instead of actually being productive. :)

Re: I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of all the connotations of the word useful, yes. ^^ I'm sure you would turn it into something epic.
Haha, I know how you feel. I have two papers to write in the next three weeks, but all I do is write fic and ramble about fandom with people.

Re: I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

The sad thing here is that I'm blowing off fandom obligations (dark_fest)!

If you're looking for something in that vein in the meantime, Marquise on AO3 wrote a short fic about Roose/Theon for me in a fill. It's called "Be of some use," and it's great.

Re: I'm always in a Bolton mood.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, I guess that happens as well. I also wrote some random ficlets when I was supposed to finish my exchange fic.

Thanks for the rec. I'll have a look at it later. :)

FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I gave this another go. Let's call it inspiration.


It began with an interrogation.

“Tell me about Robb Stark.”

Theon remembered a bright-haired boy who, instead of quailing under the weight of the crown, assumed the mantle with the resigned honor of his father. But before that, he had merely been a boy. A brother, almost. Maybe more than that, if awkward lingering glances and fumblings in the darkness counted for anything. To Theon, they no longer did, not that, if they were to meet again, Robb would do less than strike the head from his shoulders.

Just as his father would. Just as, perhaps, he deserved.

But he was Bolton’s man now, or at least he aspired to be, assuming that, if he were just useful enough, he might be more than a hostage come again. Not that Bolton would release him. But he might give him an occupation. He might call off the mad dog that he named his heir.

Theon had become quite the expert in self-denial.

It was an elaborate lie that extended beyond his traitorous embroideries of minutia that he recalled while sitting in Roose Bolton’s rooms, drinking his wines, eating his food. It was not pleasant company, but it afforded him the luxury of pretending that he was still the prince that he’d been, instead of the turncloak he’d become. He knew that Bolton knew that he prevaricated, that he embellished details that, in the grand scheme of things, were meaningless.

He doubted that Bolton cared. But he wondered sometimes why the man bothered with the charade.

One evening, after detailing what little he knew of Stark battle plans, Roose Bolton beckoned him closer.

“On your knees,” he said softly, almost gently, and although he did not comprehend, Theon knelt before him. He felt a hand on his shoulder, positioning him gently yet firmly, and when it travelled to his face, tipping his chin upwards, he was even more confused.

“What would you have me do, my Lord?” he asked, peering up through the shadows.

“What do you do with my son?” Bolton’s voice was even, but underneath, there was a note of amusement.

“I…obey Lord Ramsay,” he said, struggling to get out the words, to say it properly. “I…do as he bids.”

Bolton laughed softly. “And you will do as I bid.” He guided Theon’s hands to the front of his breeches. “I have had enough of your bowing and scraping. It is high time that you use your tongue for something more useful than ingratiation.”

“What of your lady wife?” The words were out before Theon could stop himself, and inwardly, he readied for a blow that did not quite come.

Bolton did not react immediately, merely staring at Theon as if he’d grown a second head. He was not used to being contradicted. “It is not your place to question an order, Greyjoy.”

Theon hung his head, cheeks flaming. “I merely thought,” words dying on his tongue as Bolton’s cold eyes met his.

“You are not here to think,” Bolton said. “I grow weary of waiting.” His hands pressed on Theon’s shoulders, pulling him close, and while Theon readied himself he focused on small details: the pink signet ring on Roose Bolton’s finger, the way that his hands firmly grasped Theon’s hair, the feel of the rushes beneath his knees.

He tried then, also, to think of Robb, but it did not help if at all.

When he took Bolton in his mouth, the other man did not react. He was calm and collected, even when Theon dared to bare his teeth a bit, almost forgetting himself. And when Bolton’s breath quickened, his body at last betraying his control, Theon felt himself stiffening in response, with the knowledge that, however base, he might still retain some power.

But it was over all too soon and Theon was left to lie on the floor, his frustration evident on his face, in his crabbed position. Roose Bolton, always observant, noted his hardness, visible through his ill-gotten finery, and for the first time that evening, smiled.

“My Lord,” Theon said, his voice barely audible in the pressing silence.

“You may go. I require nothing further this evening.”

And he was left to gather himself, to shamble out of his Lord’s chambers, where his Lord’s man waited to take him below again, where he will wait until it is time again to become another man’s plaything.

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy you filled this not just once, but twice. Thank you so much. :D

This is wonderful. I love Theon's thoughts about Robb, and Roose's creepy little laugh always makes me happy. I think what I love most here is the difference between disobeying Ramsay and disobeying Roose - Ramsay gets angry, Roose stays calm and just demands, and people give him what he wants because You Do Not Piss Off Roose Bolton. Oh, and cocky Theon who lets himself think for just a second that he still has some power was a great detail.

You're making me love Roose/Theon waaaay more than I should. That's a good thing.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I'm glad that you liked this. I didn't need much convincing, to be honest. And as much as Ramsay/Theon creeps me out and fascinates me, there is something much more malevolent about Roose/Theon, as you've said.

I thought a lot about the Harrenhall Arya interactions when I wrote this. It's kind of the same situation, only more extreme.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Ramsay/Theon is fun because it's as horrible as a bad horror movie, but Roose/Theon is more subtly evil. I like that.

You know, it's a good thing Arya was 8 years old in Harrenhall. If she had been a young woman at the time and not a little girl, I would ship Roose/Arya so hard ... House Creepy, what have you done to me. ;)

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

House Creepy corrupts all that it touches, eventually.

And likewise. I want to write teen Arya/Roose in Harrenhall. After all, who does he order to remove the leeches? I should stop now because I'm creeping myself out.

I can't write Arya though, so maybe it's a good thing.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Thank you, House Creepy. I appreciate it. Also, I think I broke my brain writing about Arya/Roose after finishing a Stannis/Sansa fic. It's like this horrible clash between "pairings that should never happen" and "royal OTP of pure happiness".

It would be hot ... if she was older. As it is, it's the bad kind of creepy.

Me neither. It's all for the better, just like the fact that neither of us can draw and spam the world with ridiculous House Creepy doodles.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

I need to read those Sansa/Stannis fills because I saw that there is a second one in addition to yours. Looking forward tonight.

It would be hot if she were, as they say, a woman grown. and I'm considering writing this AU and I realize that I have a serious problem here.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Yep, there's a second fill that's a lot more focused on the whole dancing thing (unlike mine, I always end up ignoring the prompts). It's great. ^^ I can't believe someone else wrote Stannis/Sansa, I'm so happy. :D

Nah, it's not a serious problem, it's just the eternal appeal of porn. Blame Roose.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[sternflammenden.livejournal.com]

So excited. i'm finally home and there is lots of Stannis/Sansa and other stuff to read.

Oh, that Roose. I should punish him and write Roose/Brienne AU baby fic. That'll show him. And creep me out.

Re: FILL Take 2: Roose/Theon (hints of Theon/Robb), Another man's amusement

[linndechir.livejournal.com]

Have fun. ^^

That's a horrifying idea. Please don't ever do that. oO
