THE VAMPIRE LOVERS // PART ONE // PART TWO // PART THREE //
I’m currently reading this book about lesbian representation in film, and there is a whole chapter on lesbian vampires which is my absolute favourite trope - like yes please, drain me until I’m a husk. So, here is some unhinged thoughts:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, the chapter speaks of the vampire and the mouth, I read the passage and immediately thought of Joan, because her mouth is as much the source of her power as it is for a vampire. Joan might not use her teeth to bite, but her words certainly do. Wentworth directors deliberately frame her mouth in close up shots to show the power she holds, to show it as a tool for coercion and control. they only use a close up when she is trying to manipulate, has a plan, or has the upper hand. Most often, the shot is used when she is talking to Vera, to talk down to or to manipulate her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
‘Medical case studies in the early twentieth century reveal deep anxieties about the possibility of female penetration. […] In the lesbian vampire story, this anxiety has been displaced and refocused on the mouth, [a] ‘feminine’ sexual orifice which combines the ‘masculine’ ability to penetrate, via the teeth. This, the vampire embodies age-old popular fears which have been expressed through the ‘vagina dentata’, the vagina with teeth, the penetrating woman’
- Andrea Weiss, from Vampires And Violets: Lesbians in Film
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, image of the mouth is subversive for a female vampire. At first, it can be seen as a simply receptacle, but the teeth: they are penetrative. The reason the lesbian vampire always dies in the end is because she penetrates, because she has power, and that is a threat to men. Men fear women who subvert their expectations, women who assert power in the same ways they do. I find it interesting that after joan becomes kath, and even after joan returns, there is no use of a close up shot of her mouth again. It’s like the vampire is dead, the monster is dead, and therefore, in the finale Joan is allowed to survive.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Furthermore, female vampires always have a female victim, and the female vampire is condemned to suck the life out of her. Historically, lesbian relationships have been been portrayed as just that. One partner is destined to ‘take over the personality or the soul of another’.
Right up until the finale, this is the internal battle vera faces with joan. Vera tries to remain her own self, attempting to deny all she has assimilated from Joan’s personality - from season 4 onwards she tries to fight off anything has picked up from joan, but these things she has learnt always tend to bleed through. She does eventually shed them (the loyalty, the uniform pants, the strategy, the bun ect.). Until the only remaining feature is the copycat twinge of the upper lip. It’s an unconscious and compulsive movement, which demonstrates just how deep joan managed to bed herself underneath Vera’s skin. The twitch was all instinct. She was consumed by her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I guess I’m theorising about how the lesbian vampire trope still plays out within female relationships even now. Even in contexts with no supernatural elements, these signifiers still persist.
Wentworth (2013-2021) // 2.07 Metamorphosis // 3.06 Evidence // 3.09 Freak Show // 4.01 First Blood // 4.02 Poking Spiders // 4.03 Prisoner // 5.11 Coup de Grace // 8.04 Revenant // 8.10 The Enemy Within // 8.19 The Reckoning // Andrea Weiss, from Vampires And Violets: Lesbians in Film, 1992 //

What are your thoughts about Liz as a character right now? I understand people being upset with her actions, but I don't think a reasonable person can hate Liz with a burning passion. I don't love her, I don't hate her. Liz is too trusting of anyone who claims to be related to her, but I think Red has ultimately pushed her too far.
I agree - I don’t hate Liz at all, honestly. I think Liz is super-conflicted. She desperately wants to be that good FBI agent, that “good person” that she thought she was before the Tom Connolly shooting, but she’s been fighting those instincts ever since. “Think like a criminal,” Red told her. Well she is now, for sure. However you want to spin it - Liz has a dark side and they’ve shown it to us for seasons now. It’s not one she ordinarily enjoys or embraces, she fights it, but she does when something terrible in her life emerges and tips her over the edge. We saw it in S5 as she avenged Tom’s death and we’re seeing it now as she tries to avenge Katarina’s. I think there’s a deeper reason behind the flip than simply her own psyche - some deeper connection forged as a child to the mysteries that Red is concealing that hasn’t been disclosed yet.
At the same time, I honestly don’t buy that she’s fully embracing going dark against Red even now. For as much as she seems smug in some of the scenes, happy to make off with his millions, I think she’d still rather have the peaceful life she always imagined. Honestly, I think that’s why she’s drawn to Ressler and slept with him. He represents a “normal” life for her, the “good” part of her life she wants to cling to. She’s been reluctantly drawn into this web because yes - Red pushed her too far.  If the woman claiming to be her mother was a fake he should have said so in absolute terms. He didn’t, and Liz believes he murdered her only living parent and she’s after him for it. The time has long since passed for him to explain Katarina to Liz honestly. 
I’ll probably say more on this in a future post, but I think that’s why she’s thinking about Tom in the past in ep 8.04. Not because she’s missing him as her lover (dear lord, spare me - her face in those morning-after remembrances spoke volumes). She’s embracing her criminal side again, she’s fighting her better side in favor of this powerful dark avenging side she imagines. The side of her that can pretend to be anything, do anything, be anyone, because that’s what she needs in order to even try to defeat Red. Thats why she talks about how Tom wouldn’t have lost Agnes because he’s like her aspirational criminal foil to Red. The reason she boosts him as she speaks to Agnes (as would be normal anyway for a widow speaking to her child about her father). He’s the side of her that would beat Red and win. (While obviously 5x08 suggests otherwise, this is her mindset I think).  As Red has said, “I understand what it’s like to be drawn to something that is unhealthy, to a part of yourself that you are afraid of.” That is exactly what she’s doing here, AGAIN, from beyond the grave as she heads on the run.
Except Liz doesn’t need to beat Red and win. She hasn’t figured that out yet. The part of her that is drawn to her lighter side - to conversations about unicorn socks with Ressler, the part of her that can’t bring herself to say goodbye after how many phone conversations?  That is the right side. That’s the side that Ressler - AND RED - are fighting for her to realize and to embrace. That’s why Red never wanted her to be like him. They are united in wanting Liz to eschew the dark and embrace the light, to let go of the past and to look forward to a normal future. I don’t view Red offering Liz his empire as evidence that he ever wanted her to turn dark, to become like him, despite Dembe’s question. I think Red viewed giving her the empire as a means to continue her protection.  But it backfired because of Katarina and now he has to fight to get her to see reason. 
I think Liz will turn around before  the end of the series because otherwise, all of Red’s hopes, aspirations and warnings from the beginning were for naught.  His entire purpose for re-entering her life will have been a failure.  It’s a battle for her soul (as the writers have said) and in the end, I think the “good guys” have to win (even if some of them may sometimes appear to be “bad guys.”). But at the same time, I don’t think Liz can achieve a positive outcome without fully understanding the past, however she ultimately gets the truth, and that’s the journey we’re on at the moment.
Thank you for the ask and apologies for not getting to it more promptly. Sometimes I need to sit on it a bit.

(Fic) The Bang that was Promised - A modest rewrite
One-shot inspired by the scene in 8.04, but with significant edits. 
Approx. 2500 words | Explicit 
Brienne threw another log on the fire and watched the flames dance around it for a moment before she heard the knock on the door. Confused but curious, she made her way over and opened it. 
There he stood. The man she desperately wanted to be close to, the man she had left the great hall only moments ago to get away from. Unable to summon anything coherent to mind, she simply stared at him until he broke the silence. 
Tentatively he asked, “Can I come in?” 
Before she could stop herself, Brienne heard herself ask, more aggressively than intended, “Why?” 
“I thought you might be up for one more drink. I brought the good wine, from Dorne.”
Feeling very uneasy, Brienne hesitated. 
“I am not sure if that’s—”
“Brienne, please just let me in. These are not that easy to carry with one hand.”
His use of her given name, and only her given name, moved Brienne, as did his plea about his discomfort. 
“Sorry,” she said as she stood aside to let him in. 
She closed the door after him as he made his way to the table and put down the wine and two goblets. She walked over while he poured them both a glass. 
“Cheers,” he said off-handedly, clinking his goblet with hers perfunctorily.  
They each took a sip and then Jaime sat down; Brienne immediately followed.  Her stomach was in knots. If she were willing to be even the slightest bit presumptuous, she would say he was here to...address the subject of her virginity. However, she was not willing to be even the slightest bit presumptuous, so she continued sipping her wine in silence, desperately seeking a clue to what situation she was in right now. 
“You keep it warm enough in here. I think this is the first time I have been hot since I got to the North.”
“The trick is to keep the fire going. Every time you leave the room, put more wood on.” 
“Good to know.”
He let the awkward pause grow before surrendering once again. 
“Listen, I wanted to apologize for my brother. He means well...usually. But he can be a bit of a pot-stirrer. I regret that he embarrassed you like that.” 
“Thank you, I appreciate you saying that.” She took a deep sip of wine and paused for a moment before musing, “Truthfully, even after tonight, I would still rather spend time with him than that Tormund.”
Jaime smiled and seemed self-satisfied somehow. 
“Yes. He is colorful.” 
“He’s awful.”
They shared a brief look followed by a laugh, before Brienne continued. 
“I shouldn’t say that. He means well, too. And I’ve met far worse men in my time. He is just so...crass.”
Jaime took a long sip and a deep breath and pressed on. 
“He likes you, you know.”
“Yes, I gathered that. Though I can’t imagine why.” 
Jaime let the tension marinate for a moment before approaching the waters he had come here specifically to wade in. 
“I can.” 
Brienne met his eyes and looked at him with a mixture of fear and longing. Finally, she summoned the strength to whisper, “You don’t owe me this, you know.” 
With his glass halfway to his mouth, Jaime paused to reply, “You think I’m here right now because of a sense of duty? You have a much higher opinion of me than I deserve.”
At this Brienne rose from her seat, seeming almost angry, and she turned away from Jaime as she replied, “Even if it is not duty, it is pity and I don’t want it from you.” 
“Do you have any idea how long I have wanted to fuck you?”
Brienne stopped cold and spun back around to look at him. She did not appear insulted, a good sign. She seemed rapt and dumbfounded. Jaime took that as his cue to continue. Downing the last of the wine in his cup, he poured himself a second glass as he rose from his seat. He began struggling out of his jacket as he let her in on the truth of their past. 
“I distinctly remember it – the tub at Harrenhal. I endured pain that day I’d never known before in my life; I was still half out of my mind with it when I invaded your bath. That whole time I was on the brink of passing out, but when you stood up, naked and ready to come to blows, you looked like some kind of warrior God come to earth to defend all that is honorable and righteous. I got half hard just looking at you. And that was just the first time.” 
Jaime walked over towards her bed and continued clumsily discarding clothes as he spoke. 
“The second time was when I saw you wearing that absurd pink dress to dinner. It looked ridiculous and I desperately wanted to tear it off you and touch what was underneath until you came apart in my arms shouting my name.”
Brienne felt desperately hot all over and could barely breathe. The juncture of her legs throbbed, but she stood anchored to the spot, afraid to do anything that might stop him speaking. 
“On the road back to King’s Landing, there were too many to count. Nights I would lie awake and imagine what might happen if I rolled over in the darkness and touched you. Occasionally I even dreamed about it.”  
By that point he had discarded all of his clothes except for his breeches, the front of which had a very distinctive bulge. 
“Could you?” he asked, holding his golden hand towards Brienne. 
Brienne paused for a brief moment, knowing somehow that if she touched him, even along his wrist and forearm, there would be no turning back. Her body screamed an instant yes, and whatever rational thoughts protested on behalf of her maidenhead were wrestled to silence by the wine she could feel also urging her on. 
Brienne walked over, and studiously unbound the straps that affixed his false hand to his body. Once loosened she pulled it gingerly off and heard him make a satisfied sound of relief. 
They stood face to face next to her bed, Jaime barely clothed, Brienne wearing only her night clothes. Somehow, he seemed reticent to take the last step and instead kept talking. 
“And then there was that day at Riverrun. I swear, had you stayed in my tent even a minute or two more, I think that might have been the day you lost your virginity. I was absolutely dying to kiss you.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“Mostly because the curtains were open. I did not wish to tarnish your good name. I have some experience going through life with a less than pristine reputation. I don’t recommend it.” 
The fire crackled in the background as they gazed into one another eyes, each daring the other to be braver person. Eventually Jaime surrendered to the stalemate and asked, “What about you?” 
“What about me?” 
“When did you first know you wanted to fuck me?”
“Why do you assume I do?”
Brienne knew her question was absurd. If she did not want to fuck him, she would not have let the situation get this far. But the opportunity to tease him was simply too good to give up. He smiled at her obfuscation, more than willing to play along. 
“I suppose I don’t. I apologize for intruding upon you, my Lady. Whereabouts did I leave my shirt?” 
He started looking around for it theatrically, and after he had retrieved it, but before he could put it back on, Brienne called his bluff. She grabbed it from his hand and dropped it back on the floor. In response, he smiled that smile at her, the one that made her feel indecent things at the very core of herself. 
Genuinely a bit ashamed of her lustfulness, she pleaded, “Don’t look at me like that.”
“Why? I like looking at you like that.”
He paused for a brief moment before he continued, in a tone of wonder, “I like looking at you.”  
Jaime could not stand the tension any longer. He reached up, grabbed her head with his good hand, and brought their lips together. It was hungry, and aching, and raw – years of passion desperate for its first real outlet. 
They soon fell on the bed and Jaime moved his good hand underneath her trousers, fingering his way toward the slick skin under her patch of curls. The moment he found it, he physically had to pull back for a moment to avoid disgracing himself inside his own trousers. She was so swollen and wet Jaime feared his mere touch of her there would bring his own release. 
However, he managed to regain control and lightly rubbed his fingers against the nub of flesh that he knew would undo her. Sure enough, her hips bucked up into his hand and she let out a half-suppressed grunt that sounded both pained and ecstatic. 
Jaime kissed her again as he continued to stroke and she rode his hand avidly, letting her instincts drive. He let it go on for a minute, but selfishly pulled back before she could reach her climax. He wanted that to be a joint affair. 
Removing his hand from her breeches, he quickly started pulling at the ties keeping her top closed. After what seemed like a short lifetime, it fell open, and her small but perky breasts came into view. 
Jaime bent over and brought one of her nipples into his mouth, teasing it with his tongue. Again, she let out that pained yet ecstatic sound that made him fear he might disgrace himself. She let him tease her like that for a time, but eventually brought his head back up level with hers and kissed him as she pulled at the waistband of her own trousers and kicked them off. 
Next she clumsily extricated herself from her top and threw it on the floor. All that separated them now were his trousers. She savored their kiss for another long moment and then worked up the courage to relieve him of this final barrier.
 She loosened the ties by feel and then broke their kiss to watch herself pull his pants down. His erection was bright pink and standing straight up flush against his stomach. While she did not have much frame of reference, his size made her feel a little wary.
Jaime watched as she gazed avidly at his erection, and the experience made him feel like he was coming out of his skin. He had never experienced desire like this with anyone else. It was overwhelming. However, Jaime knew he would have to exercise a bit of control, especially at first. She was a virgin, after all, and he was well-endowed. 
Brienne lifted her hips slightly to rub her pelvis against him, and the friction made Jaime inhale deeply and close his eyes. She was clearly ready and more than willing, but he had to stop and make sure once more. 
“Are you certain you want to do this? There are other ways to the same pleasure that would leave your virginity intact.” 
Brienne paused for a breath to consider, but very quickly shook her head. “No. I want it to be you.” 
Her words somehow made the ache in his cock even stronger and he decided to honor her wishes. He kissed her deeply and then brought his hand down between them, ready to guide himself in. 
“This can be a bit painful at first. Tell me if you want me to stop.”
She nodded and Jaime pushed his erection down and slowly into the wet warmth between her legs. He could feel a bit of resistance, but she was so aroused, it was easy to overcome. Everything in his body screamed at him to move, but he stayed still and let her adjust. 
He saw a small grimace cross her face, but soon enough she relaxed and then rotated her hips rhythmically towards him, urging him to give in. Jaime did, and everything in his body howled with pleasure. 
She was flushed all over, her breath heaving as she clawed at his back with all her considerable strength. She matched him thrust for thrust, and soon he felt her start to quake all over. He could tell she was very close. Jaime lowed his mouth to the place where her ear met her neck and nibbled at the sensitive skin there. In response he could feel her thrusts become even more erratic. She was seconds away. 
Jaime added even more force to the movement in his hips and felt her suddenly dig her nails into his back as she screamed his name. The sound tore from him any last modicum of control he still possessed. Feeling the rhythmic pulses of her release around his cock, Jaime surrendered to his own. 
It was gratuitous, almost violent, made from years of pent up tension and longing.  Even after his initial release, his body was wracked by a series of aftershocks that seemed to go on and on and on – like waves crashing to shore. 
Finally, when he stopped convulsing, Jaime detached himself from her and rolled onto his side, so they both faced the ceiling. The heat was overwhelming, but the sweat cooled them considerably as they each slowly caught their breath. It had only lasted a few minutes in Jaime’s estimation, but it did not feel stunted. It felt necessary. 
After all, the buildup had been going on for years. Drawing out the consummation was excessive.  Next time there would be more time to savor it. The first time, they just needed to have it. 
Brienne was amazed at how good she felt, still. Before giving in, she worried she might feel some regret or shame afterwards. But there was none to be had as she laced her fingers through Jaime’s beard and kissed him. 
“You know,” Jaime said, as if the thought had only just occurred to him. “If we keep carrying on like this, sooner or later it is going to show.” 
He looked significantly at her belly, and the only thing Brienne could do was smile. Normally she would have hedged in being honest with him about something like this. But in her post-coital bliss, she could not summon the energy to downplay her desires. 
“I hope so.” 
For a moment Jaime appeared taken aback by her bluntness, but he quickly recovered and smiled a smile made of sunlight. “Me too. Of course, I would hate to see you endure the shame of giving birth to a bastard. Any chance you might be willing to give the child my name instead?”
Jaime had not realized how much he had feared her saying no until Brienne’s eyes sparkled like the ocean in moonlight and she reached out to kiss him.

The B/J fanfic of doom
Ok, so I asked for fanfics in which Brienne gives Jaime a blowjob and I didn’t find as many as i wanted to so decided to write my own. Anyway, it’s set right after the time in 8.04 when they had sex and I want y’all to be respectful cause this is literally the first time i’ve ever written a fanfic so if it sucks then it sucks, i might do better next time.  So without further ado here it is:
Brienne was sleeping yet he couldn't. He gazed at the ceiling and thought about what happened. Did it really happen or did he dream about it?! Yet Brienne was next to him, firm and strong and perfectly tangible and he wanted to touch her again to make sure she was real and that she wanted him, all of him, even the parts he rejected himself. He wanted her completely sober so he could convince himself their union wasn't just a drunken accident. But it couldn't have been, she was the one who undressed him so she must've wanted it. Wanted him. A part of him recalled "I'm strong enough" and a light chuckle escaped his lips. Gods, he really wasn't. Maybe back then, when he had both of his hands and the confidence that nothing in the world really matters, except for Cersei. But now, other things mattered. Things and people. And she wouldn't have undressed that Jaime. He felt like laughing because he had to give up his hand to feel whole again. She fumbled in bed and turned towards him. He didn't want to wake her but he couldn't help caressing her collarbone, softly touching the scars that bear left on her, back in that godsforsaken pit. She opened her eyes.
"Jaime..." she looked at him with inquiring eyes, waves that rolled and crashed on the shores of his desire. He looked guilty.
 "Go back to sleep, we can talk tomorrow " She gave him a quizical look. "What makes you think I want to talk?" she caught his hand and lightly kissed it , then to his surprise, started to roll her tongue around his fingers, taking turns into taking them into her mouth. 
 "Wench, what.. what exactly are you doing?" 
 She let go of his hand and rolled on top of him, her weight pinning him against the bed, so enchanting and erotic that he gasped. 
 "My turn!" she said, then turned her attention to his chest, planting wet kisses across his skin and softly pulling his hairs. He lifted his hand to her cheek, stroked it and asked 
 "Far from me to question or deny a knight of the seven kingdoms but please tell me Ser, what turn might that be?" 
 A fire lit behind her eyes, the way wildfire might colour the bluest waters. "Jaime, let me do this, enjoy and shut the hell up for once in your life."
He surrendered and her kisses went lower trailing on his abdomen towards... She’s never done this before, he thought. And maybe he shouldn’t let her. She could hurt herself. She could hurt me. But he chastised himself for even thinking that, he trusted her with his life and she was his protector. He trusted her with this. she’s already proven to be resourceful.  
She was there already and desire swelled in Jaime’s body. She licked his shaft shyly at first but after a few moments that to him seemed like eternity her laps became confident until she reached the tip of his cock and then she gave it a kiss. A strangely chaste one. 
He groaned and she understood what that meant.  She wrapped her mouth around his cock and swirled her tongue over his tip with almost the same motion she was doing when she’d kissed his mouth. She held him in his mouth with something that could almost be construed as piety, like she was whispering a prayer only his cock could answer. And oh, it did. Jaime had to fight hard against his instinct of thrusting himself into her mouth and down her throat so instead he tried concentrating on her light hair, stroking it with his good hand while she started to slowly move her mouth up and down his cock, taking him in deeper then letting him out just for both of them to remember how to breathe and then taking him in again.  
Her mouth was hot and wet and her enthusiasm made up for her lack of experience so he felt comfortable enough to start thrusting into her mouth, losing himself in the experience. He felt a surge of cold and mild disappointment when she let his cock out of her mouth but to his utter shock and delight she’d only done that so she could give his balls some attention. He pulled her hair and whispered  “Brienne” urging her to go back to his cock. She returned to it and in a few minutes Jaime felt desire building in him from the bottom of his feet all the way to the top of his head and he knew he had to put an end to it.  “Brienne, you have to stop...I’m going to...”
But she pushed herself deeper on his cock, stubborn, beautiful wench and the pleasure envelopped him, almost feeling as if his undeserving soul was being torn up from his body as he came in her mouth. She swallowed all of it then gave him a bashful smile. 
“Come here, no need to be shy after what you’ve just done” her pale cheeks reddened. 
“Was I ...any good?” 
Jaime pulled her towards him and kissed her deeply, tasting himself on her tongue.  “You were magnificent. Anyone would be a fool to expect any less from such a formidable woman.” 
A shadow moved across his face.
“Ser Brienne, I don’t deserve any of this. I don’t deserve...you”
She stared at him in disbelief and then gave him a huge smile, the kind of smile that made his sun rise and made life almost worth living. The kind of smile she had for him after he knighted her. 
“You’re gonna take whatever I have to offer because I should be the one to decide who deserves me and who does not.” 
“Yes, Ser.”
And for a brief moment, Jaime forgot they were in Winterfell, forgot they’ve fought dead creatures, forgot that he was a Lannister and all that remained was the unspoken truth that hung between them, that he was loved and that one day he could, in fact, deserve all of it.

Chase the Morning - Chapter 2: The Mall by Hermit9
Supernatural, Shadowrun, Altered Carbon || Gen || Mature || No major warnings apply || 6,726 words || WIP
Summary: In the fallout of their Shadow rebellion, things have been hazy for the Winchesters. The black mark on their name wasn’t unexpected, but bracing for impact doesn’t lessen the pain. In the new status quo, Sam struggles.  He wants to prove that he can pull his weight and, in his own way, shine.  Easier said than done when one of things he needs to break is his brother’s overprotective instincts. An impossible task – built on more myth than fact – might allow him to do just that. Or it might lead him to a fall he can’t climb back from.
Other tags: AU – Shadowrun fusion, AU – Altered Carbon fusion, Technomancer!Sam, Matrix, Cyberpunk, Dystopia, Bobby Singer Lives, Charlie Bradbury Lives, Canon-Typical Violence, Drug Use, Overdose, Near Death Experience, Sam isn’t having a good time, dub-con kissing, memories, hurt/comfort, there is only one bed, no plan ever survives initial contact, Roshambo, altered carbon stacks, self-sacrifice

Every Monster That Sleeps Inside You (chapter 9) by Treefrogie84
Supernatural || destiel, drowley, dean x cas x crowley || Mature || Graphic descriptions of violence || 7,169 words || WIP
Summary: Attempting the trials to close Hell lets loose something far worse than the occasional crossroads demon or Dean’s second favorite drinking buddy. Heaven wants all the tablets they can get their hands on, Abaddon wants to destroy everything in favor of utter chaos in Hell as well as on Earth, and somehow, Sam and Dean have to stop all of it. Except stopping Abaddon might take more from Dean than he can afford to give. A Mark of Cain fix-it starting at 8.12 As Time Goes By.
Other tags: canon-typical violence, canon divergent, mark of cain, demon!Dean, season 9 fix-it, season 10 fix-it, Carver era rewrite

so i do have one idea of a gendrya/arya 8.04 fix-it type thing that i’d like to do
it’ll totally be rendered non-canon-compliant ofc but if y’all do want me to try to write a stark sisters + gendry + davos thing (i’m spending most of tmw w my dad and gonna see endgame with him lmao ouch but oh well) then i should have some time before the ep on sunday, and i have no idea where to go w my body swap now so that’s kinda paused
lmk if you want me to write that. i know a lot of ppl have written nice things where they have a clarifying convo about why that was gendry’s instinct and what arya means by not being a lady and all that so idk if ppl want more but yeah lmk if you want me to do the thing
it’s not technically contradicting canon so she is still going to head off to finish her list but we actually like. hear from them gods forbid
