1/2

Have you read (all) the books? Have you seen the show? Do you have any book vs. show preferences? Read the books, seen most of the show until I got tired of watching it. I don't like the show much, so please stick to the books.

What kind of gift can you make?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Stannis, Davos, Jon, Sansa, the other Baratheons, the Greyjoys (especially Asha, Victarion and Balon), Tywin, Kevan, Roose, the older generation of Starks. Stannis/Davos, Stannis/Jon, Stannis/Sansa, Victarion/Asha, Balon/Victarion, Victarion/just about anyone he's related to. Aegon I./Orys Baratheon, Maegor/Aenys

Characters and/or pairings you will NOT draw/write about: Melisandre, Littlefinger, Varys, Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion, Daenerys and most other Targaryens, Brienne, the Martells.

What kind of genres can you write/what kind of pictures can you draw? mostly slash and gen, het is okay, no femslash. I can do angst, violence, fluff, romance and smut, as long as it's IC for the characters. no good with crackfic/humour/crossovers/AUs.

Anything else I should know when I assign prompts to you? -

What kind of gift do you want to receive?
Fic and/or fanart? Fic

Preferred characters and/or pairings: Stannis, Davos, Jon, Sansa. Stannis/Davos (platonic or UST), Stannis/Jon, Stannis/Sansa. the Greyjoys (although I'm not a huge fan of Theon), especially Victarion, Asha and Balon, Victarion/Asha, Balon/Victarion, Victarion/Euron, Victarion/Asha/Theon, and I'll even take trolltastic pre-Damphair!Aeron/Victarion while I'm at it. Aegon I./Orys Baratheon, Maegor the Cruel, Maegor/Aenys. I also like Tywin and Kevan, Ned and the other Starks, the other Baratheons, the Boltons and other Northern houses, and I'm perfectly fine with any of these characters appearing as well.

Characters and/or pairings you do NOT want to see/read about: I don't want Melisandre anywhere near my fic (unless you plan to kill her off). No Stannis/Melisandre. I'm not particularly interested in Daenerys, Brienne, Littlefinger, Varys, the Martells, Jaime, Cersei and Tyrion. I don't mind them getting mentioned or even appearing if it's somehow important for the plot, but I don't want them to take up half the fic. I don't ship Jon with anyone except his duty and Stannis, so I'd rather not have a lot of Jon/Ygritte, Jon/Robb or any other Jon ship in the background.

What genre of fic/art do you generally want? slash or gen. het only for Stannis/Sansa and Victarion/Asha. smut is great, but I'd rather not get a complete PWP. I like character analysis and interaction and explorations of how relationships develop over time. I find the political elements of ASOIAF more interesting than the magical stuff. Angst and dark themes are good (I don't mind violence in fics if it suits the plot and the characters), but no pure tragedy. I love some UST & repressed desires even in gen fic (especially if you write about Stannis anywhere near Davos or Jon). I enjoy in-verse AUs and what-if scenarios, but I don't like out-of-Westeros AUs (modern AUs etc.). I absolutely love Kingsguard!Jon, but I'm also fine with Jon staying at the Wall so he and Stannis can angst about not seeing each other anymore.

Give at least four and up to six prompts you would like to see written/drawn:

1) Stannis/Jon or Stannis/Davos or Stannis/Sansa: post-war, Stannis has won the throne and someone tries to assassinate him. Up to you whether he is injured or just shaken up, up to you how he survived the assassination attempt (sheer luck? did his Kingsguard save him?). I mostly want to see Stannis' reaction to the whole thing as well as the person of your choice (Jon or Davos or Sansa or all three of them) fretting/taking care of him/feeling guilty for not being better at protecting him (in Jon's case, mostly) or however else they react to almost losing him.

2) Stannis/Jon. AU in which Jon squires for Stannis. Instead of letting Jon go to the Wall, Ned sends Jon South to become a squire (probably a few years before AGOT), and Robert thinks it would be hilarious to let Ned's bastard squire for Stannis. I'd love to see some development from them being unhappy about the arrangement (Stannis feels insulted, Jon is lonely and feels unwelcome) to them learning to trust and rely on each other. Slash with grown-up/knighted Jon would be appreciated, but it isn't necessary if it doesn't fit into your fic.
If you want to go into more of a plotty direction: would this have led to a Stannis-Stark-alliance? If yes, how did that happen? Did Jon suggest it? Did Stannis end up negotiating with Robb and Catelyn and finding a way for them to work together?

3) Stannis/Jon. Stannis takes Jon to see Storm's End. I suppose this would work best in a post-war fic with Kingsguard!Jon, but if you prefer a different scenario, that's fine by me.

4) Victarion in his younger years. His childhood/youth with his brothers. Or going reaving with Balon when they were young. Or his relationship with Euron over the years. Or something about his first wives. Or the first Greyjoy Rebellion. Anything about pre-canon!Vic. Bonus if you include Balon/Victarion (or creeptastic Victarion/Euron, or troll!Aeron hitting on Victarion, or even Victarion/Asha if you write something set shortly before the books happen).

5) Victarion/Asha ruling the Iron Islands together post-series. I don't care if it's King Victarion with Asha as his advisor, or Queen Asha with Victarion as her right hand man, or even puppet king!Theon with Vic and Asha manipulating him together. Just show me what their shared rule looks like and how they work together and how they started working together and all that. Bonus for additional smut (but no complete PWP please).

6) Maegor Targaryen and Orys Baratheon. I blame the wonderful fic that schattenfalke wrote for me last round that included a small mention of Orys being the family member Maegor got along with best. So I'd love to see any exploration of this. Uncle-nephew-bonding, sparring with each other, hanging out with Balerion, Orys trying to get Maegor to accept his role as the younger brother while also understanding his frustration and thinking that Aenys won't make much of a king ... anything really.
Or: any fic exploring the parallels and mostly differences between Aegon/Orys and Maegor/Aenys (I'd love for it to be slashy, but just brotherly relationships are okay, too).

--> Feel free to combine these prompts in any way you like, or to include any of the pairings and characters I like even if I didn't explicitly mention them in the prompt.

Your pet peeves and other things you DO NOT WANT in your story/art: While I love some of the historical Targaryens, I don't care for House Targaryen by the time ASOIAF happens, so please no secret Targaryens (no R+L=J), Targaryens and/or dragons saving Westeros from the Others etc. I hate what the show has done with Stannis, so please stick to the books. Actually that goes for all characters, including their looks. And I unironically love Victarion, no bashing the poor guy please.

You make me blush :-) Hurrah for inspiring plot bunnies!

P.S. #6 is awesome. Aegon may be King of Westeros, but Orys is King of the DILFs.

Your fic was so amazing, it definitely inspired plot bunnies. (Although to be quite honest, I'm still considering to scrap the Targaryen prompt because I think I received several historical Targ fics in a row now, and while they were all amazing and I was completely happy about them, I'm starting to miss Stannis and Greyjoy fics. So I'll see about that. But I definitely need more Orys&Maegor in my life at some point. ^^)
