I Have To Burn Your Kingdom Down (Lyanna) - G lit_chick08 July 12 2012, 01:55:33 UTC
She does not realize it was a mistake to go with Rhaegar until word reaches them that Brandon and her father are dead. Rhaegar does not let her read the letter, but she manages to wheedle the details out of Oswell Whent later. He tells her how Brandon rode brazenly into the Red Keep, shouting for Rhaegar to come out and die; he tells her how Brandon strangled in his desperation to reach his sword and save their father, whom the Mad King burned alive. The king calls for Ned's head now, and she wonders if Benjen's will be next, if Aerys Targaryen will allow any Stark to live ( ... )

It is my head canon that Lyanna wanted to go home after what happened to Brandon and Rhaegar wouldn't let her. So what was once her being a voluntary participant became a hostage situation.

Seriously, GRRM, Robert's Rebellion prequel.

I could totally see that being the case with Lyanna.

I would love to have a prequel! So many awesome POVs to be had! So much backstory to be had even once he finishes the series.

I'm so sad the weight of her decision even took her love--realistic as heck. It's all about what can't be undone. Love it.

Oh, my dear Lyanna! She causes the downfall of the great Kings of the north! All my Stark feels, right here. *sadness*
