A handful of the braver maidens made so bold as to address the king, in an attempt to make themselves more memorable. ... A northern maid named Barba Bolton, daughter of the Dreadfort, said, “If you send me home, Your Grace, send me home with food, for the snows are deep and your people are starving.”.

I think we as a fandom desperately need an AU wherein Daemon was a petty bitch who refused to die for 110 years, outliving his children and grandchildren.

Oh the delicious changes it would make!

He had been wounded and was too late to save Rhaenyra, but he did manage to find Viserys pretty quickly and kill all the Rogares. So, yeah, no Aegon IV, no Blackfyres - good, right? Weeeelll, Viserys married Barba Bolton. Just imagine the result of those two bloodlines mixing! *evil laugh*

Obliously, Daemon had been crowned king. Even though the start of his reign had been quite bloody with him and Cregan dealing with the rebellious lords, he actually ended up doing a pretty good job. His brother and Otto must have been rolling in their graves

Tensions with the Velaryons had been quite high until Baela fell in love with Alyn and eloped. That had smoothed things over. Rhaena never married that Hightower dude, obviously. Because the whole house was exterminated, just like the Rogares. Aegon got therapy and married Daenera as in canon

Targs still have dragons. Because of course they do

Daeron and his dragon followed Rhaenys' and Meraxes' fate and died in Dorne. Oh well.

Baelor as a Fourteen Flames-worshipping nymphomaniac. He decided to try using wildfire as lube and died. Also, there were rumors he fucked his dragon.

AU version of Aegon IV with Bolton genes ended up being disinherited, same as his cousin Baelor. He pulled a Saera and became a happy whore in Tyrosh

AU Aemon and Naerys were happily married, and their son Daeron took the Throne after Daemon died. Those three were alright, but the future generations of Targs... Targ, Bolton, and now Martell blood... with dragons... WESTEROS IS FUCKED.

The Boltons do slay in all senses of the word. You do have to hand it to them for achieving a level of cunt few other houses have

fire and blood’s biggest weakness is that there’s only one bolton mention in the whole thing and it’s teenage barba bolton trying to marry aegon the miserable so that the crown will feed her starving people because cregan stark seemingly just isn’t. i need to know more about them and what they were getting up to but well. peaceful lands and well behaved people rarely make history😇

#if a bolton is desperate enough to ask the CENTRAL GOVERNMENT for help you know they started doing cannibalism like. half a decade ago #asoiaf

[aegor-bamfsteel]

GRRM's favoritism of the Blackwoods over the Bracken bothers me a lot. The Brackens are always wrong and the Blackwoods right. In the situation Barba-Melissa, where both were in the same circumstances as lovers of Aegon IV, Melissa is the beloved, so perfect who befriended even Naerys, Aemon, and Daeron! while Barba and her son were sent away in shame because her father made a mistake. Reading Fire & Blood, the same thing can be said of Blacks over the Greens. Daemon also killed kin, but you don't see Gyldayn calling him a kinslayer or any characters from the era.

The Blackwood favoritism and it’s sexual aspect against Bracken women is one of the reasons I’d made this blog, since at the time I hadn’t seen anyone defending them (and considering a GFM called the Brackens an evil house on par with Boltons, they still need some defense). I’ll disagree with the Brackens are always wrong because Amos Bracken was clearly in the right trying to get Blackwood raiders to stop terrorizing his lands’ smallfolk, but considering that he gets shot (allegedly by Aly Sue) while his opponents get a marriage for love or a happy long life…it’s not treated as such. Both families caused the Riverlands to lose their independence—to the ironborn for the Brackens, to the stormlanders for the Blackwoods—but the Blackwoods (Roderick and Shiera) aren’t shamed and humiliated to death in the same way (as Lothar Bracken hung from a crow cage). I agree that there’s little reason for Melissa to be friends with Naerys, especially since she’s an old gods-worshipper and the very pious Sevenites believe they go to hell; so unless she was trying to convert her, I don’t really understand the friendship based on their admittedly limited characterization (which is plainly just there to shill Melissa, as well as explain why BR wasn’t on D2’s shit list like his half-brothers). And not only were Barba and her dad/son sent away in shame, but then there’s poor Bethany Bracken. TWOIAF just heaps unreconstructed sexism on her and Barba, saying she was groomed “for the express purpose of taking A4’s interest away from Melissa”, then she’s apparently caught in A4’s bed with a Kingsguard and she and her father are executed. Again, it’s made to be all of her fault, while the fact that it’s canonical Aegon raped her is made light of both in and out of universe. Meanwhile we don’t see any “ignominious fall” (TWOIAF’s words) with the Blackwoods. Then the Blackwoods get marriages “for love” with two of the most popular great Houses (Stark and Targaryen) while the Bracken women are raped, shamed and murdered (Jonos mentions one of his daughters was raped by Gregor Clegane during his burning Stone Hedge, because GRRM can’t help himself). The Brackens deserve better treatment from the author as well as the fandom that swallows the double standard sexism uncritically.

I’ve just been trying to think, if there had been a Bolton queen, which Targaryen king would’ve been most likely to have one

REALISTICALLY? without changing around events in the story and setting up really specific circumstances .. probably none of them. </3 the issue i think here is that grrm doesn't seem super interested in exploring marriages between northern houses and southern houses in depth - if i remember right there aren't actually that many instances of marriages between families so far apart geographically; and given that it's mentioned how ned stark constructed a sept specifically for catelyn when she married him, i think we can read between the lines here and determine that it's kind of rare. wouldn't make any sense to build a sept if there already was one- and this is about the starks, a great house, so i'd assume it's even less likely in less influential houses. which makes sense! the north is more independent than the rest of westeros (save for maybe dorne, but that's also a far smaller part of the continent), they kind of have to stick together and build alliances with each other because of the harsh winters and the large distance that keeps them separated from the south- it's perfectly understandable that they'd have little cause to marry outside the north.

so unless something really specific happens to prompt it, i don't think the chances of a bolton-targ marriage is very likely at all, especially not to an heir or a targ that's already a king (given that they could also likely find a better match elsewhere).

BUT thats not a fun answer so let me cook . <3

i feel like saying maegor + aegon iv is kind of cheating in this regard - maegor yeah sure you can throw another wife in there and aegon iv yeah you can throw another mistress in there but neither imo are all that interesting because it's just another instance of women being put in bad positions by evil men we've seen it a bazillion times before whatever .

i could make an argument for both aegon ii and aegon iii i feel like . aegon ii because in MY eyes, viserys (at least in the books) intended to marry him to helaena partially because he didn't want the greens to have any marriage ties with a major house; he was definitely aware of the tensions at court and splitting the realm up further by letting aegon and later aemond (with the baratheons) marry into great houses would only make things much much worse. of course there's the targcest element to it too but that one's a given at this point i don't want to think about it . marry him to a bolton girl whose family and armies are 1. far away geographically 2. not especially wealthy (given it's said after the war that the north is struggling preparing for winter) 3. doesn't have as much influence as, like, the lannisters or the starks, and you can kind of see how that might work out if the goal is to make sure the greens aren't going off the rails too hard before the war. aegon iii is a bit more straightforward given that in another universe he couldve just chosen to marry barba bolton at the maiden's day ball and she would've been queen directly.

other than that i don't know about the boltons marrying a daughter to a targ KING, but i think there's some second sons and third sons etc that could be fun :- ) obviously i'm a fan of aerion brightflame and i think him with a bolton wouldve been actually fucking crazy in a really funny way. yeah of course he could have a wife that likes to flay people . similarly i think aemond is a fun one because i also think he would thrive with a weird twisted wife.

reversing it and looking at targ women i saw a post (sorry i can't remember who posted) about viserra marrying into the boltons instead of being betrothed to an old man manderly (🤢) and i love that .

sorry this was an insane post for my art account but im glad the inbox is letting me indulge in boltonposting. thank you anon!

22 and 25

22. We don’t talk enough about greenseering magic and CotF. And all of that Stark/Valyrian lore. while we’re at it i would also like to complain about the dire lack of aegon iii x barba bolton and rickard stark x rhaella targaryen shippers

25. The age discussions. It’s exhausting at this point. I mean, how hard can it be for people to separate between fiction and reality? It’s one thing to say it was unnecessary for the writer to construct love stories for 13, 14 year olds and another thing to hate the in-universe characters for being in love with said teenagers and demonizing them for it. As if they’re real, living, breathing entities and not hallucinations of one crust old ass dude (affectionate).

omaegorverse au stuff its daenys marrying into the starks and having the worst fucking time of her life with her gay misogyinst husband who hates her and her problematic homophobic mother in law ^_^

anyway so in omaegorverse walton and alaric did a rebellion and got absolutely FUCKED like fully dead and burned up rip alaric stark sorry u couldnt befriend alysanne 😭 its canon that torrhen's sons and the early targ-era starks HATED the targs. i think if maegor omegafied his nephew and took him to wife theyd consider that the last straw. plus the old gods are whispering in their ear or something ^_^ there’s also a mercenary company in essos called the company of the rose i thought that was SO fun so they go back to westeros to fight in the rebellion :3

anyway viserys is crazy at this point cos he’s had three forced childbirths and people keep dying and its his fault (its maegor its all maegor. of course its maegor's fault but maegor's like um well maybe if u werent a whore they might have lived 🙄) so he begs maegor to end the rebellion peacefully. plus if they blast the starks the north will HATE them. maegor is like fuck that noise and viserys goes well ok guess ill kill myself and the kids then. so maegor's like fuck ok fine 🙄 gods youre so dramatic women are so annoying -_- nudges his squire goes heh the wife amirite always nagging and bitching!!

viserys is deeply traumatised and only halfway in reality. he arranges a marriage between daenys to walton+alaric's brother for peace and hes like itll be ok cos youll be far away from maegor. you just have to be a nice demure wife and have babies like look how happy that made me!! itll be fine also maegor will 100% make you the prize in one of his fckn tourneys if u stay unmarried for much longer O_O. and daenys is all well the angels are telling me to murder-suicide maegor and im having gay thoughts about aunt rhaena again so i guess running away from kings landing  is a good idea (kings landing is kind of alive in this it kind of tortures the targs).

it is not! she marries the new lord stark (his name is cregard:3) and he's DEEPLY targphobic. his mother was the second wife of brandon the boastful, making walton and alaric his elder half-brothers. his mother is also a bolton! her name's barba bolton she's crazy! she and brandon the boastful married as a covert bolton-stark alliance against the targs in preparation for possible anti-targ rebellions… the stark family consists of barba + her four kids: myranda bolton, cregard, lysara mormont and sybelle dustin. the starks are very weird rn cos half of them died and the other half are hated by the north. the daughters are all married off and do a lot of diplomacy, so its just barba and cregard in winterfell. boymum and her mummy’s boy that’s so normal!!!

barba has had the revolution burned out of her thanks to her husband and stepsons getting burned to death at the gates of winterfell. she couldnt intern their bones either because balerion fckn ATE them. she agrees to the marriage because there’s no way she can’t... also because the political situation in the north is very tense. everyone is mad that the rebellion failed and that their sons died, and they start a conspiracy that barba had sabotaged the rebellion for bolton power. barba had refused to let her own son fight, despite him being fifteen (which is war age for sure) and they think this was her being cunning. they think she had conspired with maegor and his catamite WHORE into letting her and her children live. and she hates the northern houses back cos she gritted her teeth swallowed her pride and surrendered to save THEM!! so if she doesn’t want some kind of usurpation she needs the backing of the targs. plus this princess has a dragon…

ALSO it was viserys the catamite FREAK who specifically intervened and begged maegor's mercy which the northerners all see as a slight on their honour. barba is also super pissy about it :3 homophobic QUEEN! on paper it is such an honour to wed a targ princess but everyone thinks the mpreg babies are abominations, the starks especially. but they cant say no since maegor mercifully didnt blow them all up.

cregard's character is very stoic and angry. he's got that stark iciness + honour/justice, but he's also got the stark wildness!! he's 14 years older than daenys (30 and 16 at marriage ew) and he sees their marriage as a transaction and security for the north. he was fifteen during the rebellion and hates his mother for locking him in winterfell. considers this an evil bitch act of emasculation but he’s also an absolute mommy’s boy. he's very classically sexist like Well a wife's job is to support her husband and give him heirs. i will give her whatever she wants materially but emotionally she is an object she is not a person. if that makes sense :3

daenys is very shy and autistic so barba thinks she is weak and will never be a good lady of winterfell she isnt Hard and Stoic enough. cregard thinks she's an airhead freak but treats her with that sort of chauvinistic chivalry. like he treats her decently enough he doesnt beat her but also her duty is to give him sons. cregard does NOT do the nedcat sept because the optics of that are SO bad. as she has married into the family he expects her to convert since well she's a northerner stark now. not that anyone is treating her like that... anyway she mostly spends her days with the horses in the stables, in the glass gardens or with her dragon:3

and YES she has a dragon and brought it north. it is very small the runt of the litter. it is from dreamfyre's clutch and daenys named her dreamsweet and calls her sweetling. the starks are very annoyed by the dragon because they were hoping for a big dragon who they could use as leverage. instead they get a runt. just like daenys :) she doesn't ride dreamsweet much, though dreamsweet is large enough to ride. cregard DOES have a large stable made for the dragon which also stunts the dragons growth but they dont know that. everyone steers clear of it and daenys turns it into her special safe place :) she paints it all pretty and uses it as a sept. its round and maybe the size of a smallish school gymnasium. it has a conical roof with a large skylight, though chains are kept over the opening. dreamsweet is allowed ONE outing a month...

not getting into the marital bed situation because sad and also thats not fun and i do this au for fun. but i guess picture the handmaid's tale if youve ever read the book :( barba is there and its all mechanical and emotionless. cregard thinks his wife is an abomination + is sexistly gay. he is nawt getting anything out of this. actually havent really thought about the gay thing all too much i just did that cos i thought it was funny tbh. maybe he’s got medieval rentboys or something.maybe he’s got a tumultuous homoerotic situationship with one of the northern lords. You decide :3 i think barba is like your vices are disgusting and dishonour house stark. use your wiles to seduce that effette lord manderly into supporting the starks again.

daenys and barba are very weird cos daenys has never had an actual mother before. barba’s like late forties when daenys marries cregard. they’re the only women in winterfell and daenys outranks her and daenys is a fucked up abomination and barba is one of those insane boymoms whos like I am the most important woman in my son’s life. i would like it if she slowly grew to respect daenys and they could have a normal mother-daughter relationship but. I doubt that. i think daenys is terrified of her and barba hates her but theyre also forced to interact, forced into the most intimate relationship women can have!! motherhood ahh!! god this post is too long. okay my final message. goodbye<3

Oh of course, feel free to! It would be an honor :)

Lost in the lapse again

Lost in the lapse again by dwellingondreams (AO3 - 11,600 words)

Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones

Relationship: Barba Bolton/Aegon III Targaryen

Summary: "And war is all you've ever seen/Your war behind the screen/And all it means to me." - Black Math, 'Lapse'.

Careful, she tells herself. They have not delighted over you as queen, either. Plain and thick and flat of body, when they could have had some great beauty like Princess Rhaena or a little dollish darling like Daenaera Velaryon. And that is why you need to be crowned. And why we must have some sort of progress. Something. Anything, to prove to the people their king is a miserable, sullen child no longer, that he is competent and can force a smile and raise a hand in recognition in public. Else this will be a long, hard life for you, whether he comes to like you or no

(Aegon III chooses plain faced Barba Bolton as his bride, who came south to beg aid for her starving people. Three years later, a royal progress is debated.)
