DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HERO...ozmissageNovember 30 2012, 04:21:50 UTC
OMG...YOU ARE SERIOUSLY THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER. Dude, I'm awestruck right now. You wrote me five stunning ficlets featuring my favorite pairings...I can't even...just THANK YOU SO MUCH. Now let me squee about them for a second:
“And who said that you were the fair maid in this story, wench?”
AND THEN FLAILING ENSUED. I love, love, love the way you write those two. The whole scenario is made of win, but my heart did that whole growing three sizes thing when he kissed in front of everyone after she was totally his champion. Ye gods, that was flawless. And then when she doubted that he really meant it when he said he wanted to do it again and he just cut her off? *swoons*
“Sam? Shut up,” Jon replies, and then he’s pushing Sam in a dark corner of the hallway and his mouth is on Sam’s and Sam thinks his hands are shaking like never in his life as he reaches up and puts them on Jon’s shoulders, and when they part, he feels breathless and dizzy and good.
“No, I wouldn’t mind,” Jon says quietly.
Can I just say you write the most amazing big damn kisses, cause you totally do. Jon sassing Thorne was such a wonderful (and hilarious) gesture. Sam is like Brienne in my head, anytime someone shows them affection it just makes me so happy because they never think they deserve it, but they deserve it so freaking much. I love his response to Jon, how he's kind of tentatively hopeful, but won't fully allow himself to believe Jon wants him until the kiss. Oh, Sam. <333
“I did,” Stannis replies. His voice doesn’t waver. “And you are going to seal those papers.”
Okay, you totally hit on my favorite aspect of the "grand romantic gesture" in this one because for me the gesture only has to be considered grand by the character who's doing it, and I totally believe that for Stannis knighting Davos was pretty huge gesture.
And the bit at the end with Davos touching his luck, maybe for the first time...that was so subtly breathtaking. I mean that is how they began...you can't see me, but I'm flailing in my chair right now. I'm filing this one under personal head canon, for sure.
The handle is a wolf’s head. He doesn’t know how much she cares for house sigils anymore, but still. She’s a Stark. He couldn’t have done otherwise.
MY BABIES. <333 Setting this reconstruction era gave it this wonderful feeling of history. I desperately want something like this to happen for them, with Gendry working in the armory, just like Arya wanted him to. You can feel how much each of them has been through in this, and there is something so stunning about the image of Gendry making Arya a new sword. I also love that her reaction is so similar to the way she reacted with Jon (and this time she remembered to put the sword down). GAH. THIS GAVE ME A LOT OF FEELS, OKAY?
“I’m sorry,” he says, and Theon has to look at him closely. He’s sitting on the bed’s side, holding the plate gingerly - that’s probably the dinner he’s missing right now. And he’s not faking it - he really looks contrite.
“You’re sorry.”
Beautiful fix-it scene is beautiful. Those sweet, stupid, lovely boys. This is another instance of a small gesture being grand for the people involved, because Theon totally needs that reassurance. I kind of just want to force them to stay in that moment forever because they're both safe and loved and just...yeah, again: SO. MANY. FEELINGS.
You made my day with these, dear. Every single one of them is amazing and I'm so glad you ended up liking my prompts because this was such an unexpected and wonderful treat. THANK YOU! <33333

<333 LET'S SAY I JUST COULDN'T PICK WHO I WANTED TO DO THIS WITH AND THEN I WAS LIKE 'WHAT THE HELL LET'S DO IT WITH EVERYONE' ;) ;) no seriously thanks so much I'm really glad these worked ;DD
That said I really really wanted to do that with Jaime/Brienne because it was the first one that came to mind when I read the big damn kiss prompt so I'll be here being like \o/ (also I'm still hoping that she ends up being his champion in canon because that'd be just awesome but okay, I'll shut up now.)
anytime someone shows them affection it just makes me so happy because they never think they deserve it
I KNOW. Which is why I totally couldn't pick between those two ships at first because I was like 'but it'd be a waste not to have either Sam or Brienne get the big romantic gesture!' ;) and he totally deserves Jon kissing him at any possible time. ;) and he could use getting used to it.
Gosh I'm so glad the Stannis/Davos one worked for you as well because that ship automatically negates half of the typical grand romantic gestures you can think of, but that seemed like a big thing for Stannis and it seemed plausible that he could have done that in canon at some point.
And same re the Arya/Gendry one, I think it's the first time I ever write that ship so IT'S VERY MUCH AWESOME IF IT GIVES YOU FEELS ;) and ikr if something like that ever happened I'd be the happiest camper ever but who trusts GRRM anymore. I vote for everyone moving into Winterfell.
About the last one, since Theon was totally still hung up about that whole saving-Bran's-life-without-getting-thanks-for-it in ACOK, since in this one it ended better there might be a chance that he doesn't take the same stupid decisions And that said I know those two idiots ;__; sigh, that was one of the instances where I was like 'wtf Robb seriously' and I figured that fixing it could go under the sort of grand gestures category so it's awesome to know it worked as well ♥ I KNOW THEY SHOULD JUST STAY THERE FOREVER UGH THOSE TWO.
No seriously thank you, it's awesome to know you liked it :D and those were awesome prompts - I might of have a thing for grand romantic things and I had to go for it. ;) ♥
