Just wanted to stop by real quick and tell you how completely in love I am with your story. Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot of Dany/Jorah fic out there, but your fic makes more than up for that.
Thank you!!

[mrstater]

Aw, thank you so much! I'm really happy you're liking the fic. There is so not enough Dany/Jorah fic out there! I want to read some! But it's lovely to know mine is filling the void for you. Hope you enjoy next Friday's update!

[phoenikxs]

I'm sure I will! It's ridiculous, really, how much I'm always looking forward to your updates.
Do you have any ficrecs that might tie me over until then? I've read all of your stuff, but there really doesn't seem to be much else out there? How is that possible?

[mrstater]

Aw, you've given me a big smile to start my day. :) And I think you're encouragement will inspire me to finally make some real headway on the chapter I've been kind of faffing around with, not really making any real progress, for the past few days. (Bizarrely I find that I have less time to write on weekends than I do during the week when Mr. Tater's at work and I'm home with a 20 month-old all day!)

As for recs, here are a few short pieces some of my very talented f-list have done. They're amazing and you should totally pester them to write more:

A Victorious Warrior Returned by just_a_dram
Jorah Mormont appears before the Queen. Set post ADWD.

The Best Way to Forget by just_a_dram
Jorah waits for the day Dany will find an excuse to send him away once more. PWP (Set in the future after ADWD, a little spoilerish.)

Invulnerable by fifmeister
The weather is far from calm, and so is Ser Jorah.

An Inconvenient Truth
Protecting Daenerys has deadly consequences for Jorah and brings unexpected revelations for both.

Thanks for the recs!
I've read the last two and have seen just_a_dream's work, but have saved it for later, since I've only just finished ASoS.
Invulnerable is new to me. Yay!!

I'm glad I could contribute in whatever insignificantly small way to your inspiration.

[mrstater]

I'm only 1/3 of the way into AFFC, but I couldn't resist getting spoiled for ADWD. I had to know whether there was hope for this pairing, LOL. Historically, I have incredibly bad luck with ships. :(

ASOS is amazing, isn't it? But guh. I just die a little inside when Dany sends Jorah away. They're both so heartbroken about it! (I absolutely do not believe that she doesn't love him deep down.)

[phoenikxs]

I was completely blown away by it! I was reading the part when Dany sends Jorah away yesterday and couldn't stop the tears. How can she bear (haha) to send him away? And I agree, she does have feelings for him, but just won't take the time to acknowledge them.
Now I'm really dreading starting AFFC, because no Dany/Jorah interaction just seems wrong :(

[mrstater]

I know, it's so sad! And really, she prefers Daario over Jorah? Even hairy, I think Jorah sounds way more attractive than Daario, LOL.

AFFC is really good! Lots of good stuff with other characters, and it moves really fast. Who are your other favorites?

[phoenikxs]

From the ASoIaF Wiki: "He keeps his beard cut in three prongs, all dyed blue. His eyes are blue and his curly hair is dyed blue. His mustachios are painted gold and he has a large, curving nose. He is lithe, smooth skinned, has a golden tooth and dresses in loud colors and finery".
Lol, really Dany, really?! Must be a teenage phase she's going through :D

It's really hard to say who my favorites are. There's so many.
Next to Dany, Arya is probably my favorite character.
I also love Bran and his storyline with Meera and Jojen. Sansa is starting to grow on me (and I'm sort of shipping her with Sandor *blushes*). I like Tyrion (probably mostly due to Peter Dinklage's superb performance) and Bronn. Also, ASoS made me like Jaime (shudder) and ship him with Brienne.

As you see, I like and ship pretty much all the things :D
But Dany/Jorah is definitely my OTP.

[mrstater]

Lol, really Dany, really?! Must be a teenage phase she's going through :D

I know! It's the gold tooth that really kills me. Unless he's Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow... Oh, and when Jorah tells her not to trust Daario, and she thinks, "But he has blue eyes," I could not believe it.

Sansa really grew on me, too, and I ship her with everyone, LOL. I think ultimately I want Tyrion to come back and her actually grow to love him and they can rule Winterfell together. I love Jaime, too, but the verdict's still out for me on Jaime/Brienne!

But Dany/Jorah is definitely my OTP.

Same here. I think it will happen, at some point.

[aegisilfar]

While I love Dany, and I love Jorah, and I love your fic, I don't actually ship them together in canon, exactly??? That is to say I don't know that I want them to end up endgame. I don't think it would work out to be honest - too many complications.

I think part of the issue is that I rather want Jorah to suffer forever in unrequited angst-zone... because I do love that so much. Mwahaha...

I guess in asoiaf I don't ship anyone to have a happily-ever-after, though. Even though Jaime/Brienne I think could definitely have true wuv, I don't really want them to succeed either hahaha... I'm so evil...

[mrstater]

I don't know how it would work out in the end, either, but I do think Dany will give in to him eventually. But avoiding spoilers for phoenikxs!
