Sansa Stark and The Exile Prince

You're not my homeland anymore So what am I defending now? You were my town, now I'm in exile, seeing you out (...) I'm not your problem anymore So who am I offending now? You were my crown, now I'm in exile, seeing you out

—Exile ~ Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver (*)

***

At the end of Game of Thrones, the TV Show, Jon Snow is a prince, but he is exiled from his homeland. Sansa fought for Jon's release after Daenerys’ murder, but he was sent to the Night's Watch.

Then at their farewell, Sansa regrets she was unable to gain Jon’s release, but he comforts her by saying the North will be in good hands under her guidance.

That’s why the new Taylor Swift’s Folklore song: Exile, featuring Bon Iver, is making all our wounded jonsa hearts bleed again...

[Let’s cry together while watching this beautiful Exile Jonsa fanvideo...]

Last year, Sansa’s fight for Jon to be released reminded me very much of her pleadings for Ned’s freedom:

The king! Sansa blinked back her tears. Joffrey was the king now, she thought. Her gallant prince would never hurt her father, no matter what he might have done. If she went to him and pleaded for mercy, she was certain he’d listen. He had to listen, he loved her, even the queen said so. Joff would need to punish Father, the lords would expect it, but perhaps he could send him back to Winterfell, or exile him to one of the Free Cities across the narrow sea. It would only have to be for a few years. By then she and Joffrey would be married. Once she was queen, she could persuade Joff to bring Father back and grant him a pardon.

—A Game of Thrones - Sansa IV

GRRM has said that the major players’ endings will be similar in the Books, and yes, he has also called Sansa a major player, so Sansa Stark being Queen of an independent North opens the possibility that she could grant Jon a pardon, so he could go back to Winterfell.

Asoiaf Books are full of exiled characters, especially Targaryen ones, like Maegor, Daemon, Viserys, Daenerys, all of them obsessed to claim the Iron Throne for themselves, and that’s the big difference with Jon Snow and the reason to be hopeful for some kind of pardon, reconciliation and returning home to, at last, enjoy some peaceful time at home, a true Dream of Spring.

But Sansa Stark has already crossed paths with an Exile Prince. Let’s see:

Back in AGOT Sansa introduced us to a very particular courtier of the Red Keep: Jalabhar Xho.

Jalabhar Xho is the exiled Prince of the Red Flower Vale, likely exiled for losing a highly ritualized war as per the tradition of the Summer Isles. Following his exile, Jalabhar came to King's Landing in the Seven Kingdoms to request gold and swords from King Robert I Baratheon to help him regain the Red Flower Vale. Robert always entertained the notion of conquering the Summer Isles, but continuously told Jalabhar and put it off until the next year. Although Robert always put off Jalabhar's request for help, he never firmly declined him, telling him "Next year" instead of "No".

Jalabar Xho has a strong bird imagery that connects him with Sansa, since she is mockingly called a bird of the Summer Isles:

Flowers of a thousand different sorts bloom in profusion on the Summer Isles, filling the air with their perfume. The trees are heavy with exotic fruits, and a myriad of brightly colored birds flitter through the skies. From their plumage the Summer Islanders make their fabulous feathered cloaks.

—The World of Ice & Fire

Sandor Clegane stopped suddenly in the middle of a dark and empty field. She had no choice but to stop beside him. "Some septa trained you well. You're like one of those birds from the Summer Isles, aren't you? A pretty little talking bird, repeating all the pretty little words they taught you to recite."

—A Game of Thrones - Sansa II

The denizens of Joffrey's court had striven to outdo each other today. Jalabhar Xho was all in feathers, a plumage so fantastic and extravagant that he seemed like to take flight.

—A Clash of Kings - Sansa VIII

Sansa is the POV where this Prince of the Summer Isles is most mentioned. Out of the 22 mentions of Jalabar Xho in the Books, 8 of those mentions are in Sansa’s chapters, followed by the 7 mentions of the exile prince in Cercei’s chapters. But what is really curious and very interesting is the fact that most of those mentions are in a romantic context linked with love and weddings:

Jeyne Poole confessed herself frightened by the look of Jalabhar Xho, an exile prince from the Summer Isles who wore a cape of green and scarlet feathers over skin as dark as night, but when she saw young Lord Beric Dondarrion, with his hair like red gold and his black shield slashed by lightning, she pronounced herself willing to marry him on the instant.

—A Game of Thrones - Sansa II

He was one of the few spectators at Joffrey’s Name Day Tourney:

Most of the spectators were guardsmen in the gold cloaks of the City Watch or the crimson of House Lannister; of lords and ladies there were but a paltry few, the handful that remained at court. Grey-faced Lord Gyles Rosby was coughing into a square of pink silk. Lady Tanda was bracketed by her daughters, placid dull Lollys and acid-tongued Falyse. Ebon-skinned Jalabhar Xho was an exile who had no other refuge, Lady Ermesande a babe seated on her wet nurse's lap. The talk was she would soon be wed to one of the queen's cousins, so the Lannisters might claim her lands.

—A Clash of Kings - Sansa I

Jalabar Xho was present at Sansa’s wedding with Tyrion Lanniters, he said something to her in the Summer Tongue while they danced together:

Merry Crane took the floor with the exile prince Jalabhar Xho, gorgeous in his feathered finery.

(...)

The music spun them apart before Sansa could think of a reply. It was Mace Tyrell opposite her, red-faced and sweaty, and then Lord Merryweather, and then Prince Tommen. "I want to be married too," said the plump little princeling, who was all of nine. "I'm taller than my uncle!"

"I know you are," said Sansa, before the partners changed again. Ser Kevan told her she was beautiful, Jalabhar Xho said something she did not understand in the Summer Tongue, and Lord Redwyne wished her many fat children and long years of joy.

—A Storm of Swords - Sansa III

[Here you can find a fanart of Sansa and Jalabar Xho dancing together]

Jalabar Xho and Sansa met again during The Purple Wedding and they talked about the Wedding Customs of the Summer Isles:

Tyrion led Sansa around the yard, to perform the necessary courtesies.

She is good at this, he thought, as he watched her tell Lord Gyles that his cough was sounding better, compliment Elinor Tyrell on her gown, and question Jalabhar Xho about wedding customs in the Summer Isles. His cousin Ser Lancel had been brought down by Ser Kevan, the first time he'd left his sickbed since the battle. He looks ghastly. Lancel's hair had turned white and brittle, and he was thin as a stick. Without his father beside him holding him up, he would surely have collapsed. Yet when Sansa praised his valor and said how good it was to see him getting strong again, both Lancel and Ser Kevan beamed. She would have made Joffrey a good queen and a better wife if he'd had the sense to love her. He wondered if his nephew was capable of loving anyone.

—A Storm of Swords - Tyrion VIII

The last we know about this particular character is that he is falsely accused by the Blue Bard to be one of Queen Margaery’s lovers and Cersei would be willing to send him to the Night’s Watch if he confesses:

Behind Margaery came a long tail of courtiers, guards, and servants, many of them laden with baskets of fresh flowers. Each of her cousins had an admirer in thrall; the gangly squire Alyn Ambrose rode with Elinor, to whom he was betrothed, Ser Tallad with shy Alla, one-armed Mark Mullendore with Megga, plump and laughing. The Redwyne twins were escorting two of Margaery's other ladies, Meredyth Crane and Janna Fossoway. The women all wore flowers in their hair. Jalabhar Xho had attached himself to the party too, as had Ser Lambert Turnberry with his eye patch, and the handsome singer known as the Blue Bard.

—A Feast for Crows - Cersei VI

"I prefer this song to the other." Leave the great lords out of it, that was for the best. The others, though . . . Ser Tallad had been a hedge knight, Jalabhar Xho was an exile and a beggar, Clifton was the only one of the little queen's guardsman. And Osney is the plum that makes the pudding. "I know you feel better for having told the truth. You will want to remember that when Margaery comes to trial. If you were to start lying again . . .

(...)

Alone, the Blue Bard's confession would never suffice. Singers lied for their living, after all. Alla Tyrell would be of great help, if Taena could deliver her. "Ser Osney shall confess as well. The others must be made to understand that only through confession can they earn the king's forgiveness, and the Wall." Jalabhar Xho would find the truth attractive. About the rest she was less certain, but Qyburn was persuasive . . .

—A Feast for Crows - Cersei IX

Does the Exile Prince Jalabhar Xho reminds you of someone? Maybe of another Prince, that will probably be exiled from his homeland after some succession dispute, that is surrounded by bird imagery because he wears a black cloak, that is called ‘crow’ and knows an actual crow that repeats everything it hears, that is linked with Sansa Stark, that once imagined himself dancing with a creature that talked to him in a foreign tongue, and that once organized a foreign custom wedding of a Lady with whom he once danced? Do I need to say it?

Damn it, George! What are you doing?

fic rec: there Minos stands, hideous and growling, examining the sins of each newcomer by houselannister

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

pairing: Cersei Lannister/Jaime Lannister

word count: 6k

Is it canon: yes

Is it explicit: yes

Is it endgame: yes

Is it shippable: yes

Bottom line: choo choo all aboard the pain train to Valonqar City

Cersei Lannister was born to be a Hollywood icon. Film is the family business, but there has never been any doubt which is the goose that lays the golden egg:

The woman is the money. Not Tywin Lannister, safe behind his big mahogany desk. Not Jaime Lannister, safe behind his heavy camera. Not Tyrion Lannister, safely hidden behind his books and papers and pretty words.

Can you imagine Cersei’s sheer star power? The sun is setting on the golden age of Hollywood, and here stands Cersei in all her raw uncompromising glory. The thing I love about this line, The woman is the money, is how it DIRECTLY contradicts this assessment of her from Littlefinger in canon:

“Her strength rests on her beauty, birth, and riches. Only the first of those is truly her own, and it will soon desert her.” (Sansa VI, ASOS)

Obviously we all stan Cersei Lannister as a character, but as far as her actual social position in Westeros? Littlefinger ain’t wrong. She has no independent source of power; the only way for her to wield power is through men. Now if there is one thing we learned from #MeToo it’s that people in front of the camera have a whole lot less power than the people behind the camera, and the people in C-suites wield more power still—nonetheless I think it’s clear that Cersei has a lot more leverage with Tywin & Lannister Studios than most workers do with their employers. It’s like how Taylor Swift can demand the rights to her backlist, or pull all her songs from Spotify—moves that artists with 1/100 of her cachet could never dream of pulling off. I just love that Cersei is the one breaking box office records, Cersei is the source of the family’s wealth and prestige. Without her Tywin’s whole business would be worthless.

We all know what happens to these kinds of stars, they go supernova and they fade fast. A downward spiral of drugs and alcohol. Cersei’s is triggered by the casting of Margaery Tyrell as Cleopatra in a new production—because brunettes are in vogue? Because Tywin owes Mace a favor? Doesn’t matter, Cersei flips the fuck out. But here unlike in canon her paranoia is not entirely unjustified; it’s not even misplaced. There really is a dearth of roles in Hollywood for women over a certain age. Cersei to Jaime upon hearing about the Cleopatra casting decision: I WANT THAT TWINK OBLITERATED.

The fic is Jaime POV (other than the prologue, which does that omniscient-Victorian-narrator trick of setting the mood and does it gloriously) and the main thing to understand about Jaime the Academy-Award-winning filmmaker is that his skillset puts him firmly under his father’s thumb. There’s no option to join Aerys’s Kingsguard. Lannister Studios is the only game in town. There is no out for Jaime at all.

Cersei doesn’t like Tyrion, and Tyrion certainly doesn’t like Cersei, and there he is, between a rock and a hard place. The words are on the tip of his tongue, I just need her to be me again

THERE HE IS BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE aka my boy Jaime the only member of House Lannister who loves all the other members of House Lannister?? Oof. I JUST NEED HER TO BE ME AGAIN??? Double oof. Tyrion appears for like 5 seconds but this fic fucking nailed the Jaime-Tyrion dynamic, which is so underrated & important. Tyrion appears mainly in order to deliver the iconic “she's been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and probably Moon Boy for all I know” line, and the revelation plays on loop in Jaime’s brain for the next however many days:

He doesn’t want Cersei, not tonight. She’s been fucking Osney Kettleblack. However, he wants no one but her for the rest of his life, and therein lies his problem.

Love is not a victory march and nobody messes with Jaime’s head the way Cersei does.

If he doesn’t see her ever again, he will be able to remember her golden, bathing in the pale moonlight. She will be a marble statue in the temple of his mind, an idol for prayer. She will be bright and beautiful and untainted.

Well GOODBYE WORLD. I love how this fic exploits the gap between who we are and who we try to be, between aspiration and effect, intention and performance. Jaime and Cersei are after all artists employed in an industry whose job is to make art and yet. Jaime suffers from the worst case of imposter syndrome I’ve ever seen, he’s literally walking around with an armful of Oscars and he’s like is any of this real?? Am I actually any good at my job??

Ok so when @azdaema recc’d me this fic using her very own proprietary Lannicest Taxonomy (“do you want ‘morning all golden and hopeful’ or ‘sunset all crimson and bloody’?”) I asked for the latter. And the tags for this fic literally read #VALONQAR UP IN DIS CLUB so I was duly warned. But I saved it to read later and I have a memory like a sieve and so when this happened I was genuinely wrecked:

In depriving her of oxygen, he feels, perversely, as if he’s claiming the very air for his own. He feels the life, her life, in him, because it’s his, his, and she never should have given it to anyone else.

i’m totally fine nobody touch me

Councils awarded £866m civils cash for housing projects – Full list

Up to 200,000 homes are set to get off the ground after the government allocated £866m to councils to support local housing projects today.

The Government is doling out the cash to more than 130 council-led civil engineering projects to make housing developments viable.

The funding is the first wave of cash allocations from the £5bn Housing Infrastructure Fund established to fix the broken housing market.

This is being channelled into delivering local infrastructure projects including roads, cycle paths, flood defences and land remediation work.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, said: “Today marks the first step of the multi-billion pound investment we announced at the Budget to help build the homes our country needs.

“This fund finances vital infrastructure such as roads, schools and bridges, which will kick-start housing development in some of Britain’s highest-demand areas.

“This support will help us meet our ambitious plan of building 300,000 new homes each year and ensure we have enough housing in areas which need it most.”

HIF projects from County Durham to Cornwall

£10m for highway infrastructure for Ashton Green housing site in Leicester, helping to unlock 3,300 homes

£10m for construction of a bypass in Botley, Hampshire, a critical road infrastructure project for 1,000 new homes

£3.6m for drainage works, new roads and footpaths at the Manor Cluster, south-east Sheffield for over 400 homes by 2025

£6.5m to help build a new primary school as part of the Ilfracombe Southern Extension in North Devon. This will help unlock 750 new homes.

Councils awarded £866m civils cash for housing projects – Full list

Up to 200,000 homes are set to get off the ground after the government allocated £866m to councils to support local housing projects today.

More than 130 council-led projects will receive Government funding to support civil engineering projects to make housing developments viable and get much-needed homes built quicker.

With the government committed to building 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s,

The release of funding is the first wave of funding allocation from the £5bn Housing Infrastructure Fund established to fix the broken housing market.

This will fund key local infrastructure projects including new roads, cycle paths, flood defences and land remediation work, all essential ahead of building the homes.

Without this financial support these projects would struggle to go ahead or take years for work to begin, delaying the homes these communities need. Together with the government’s Industrial Strategy, it will provide high-quality infrastructure to support economic growth.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, said: “Today marks the first step of the multi-billion pound investment we announced at the Budget to help build the homes our country needs.

“This fund finances vital infrastructure such as roads, schools and bridges, which will kick-start housing development in some of Britain’s highest-demand areas.

“This support will help us meet our ambitious plan of building 300,000 new homes each year and ensure we have enough housing in areas which need it most.”

HIF projects from County Durham to Cornwall

£10m for highway infrastructure to unlock further development at the Ashton Green housing site in Leicester, helping to unlock 3,300 homes

£10m for construction of a bypass in Botley, Hampshire, a critical strategic road infrastructure project that will help unlock the delivery of 1,000 new homes

£3.6m for drainage works, new roads and footpaths at the Manor Cluster, south-east Sheffield to help unlock more than 400 homes by 2025

£6.5m to help build a new primary school as part of the Ilfracombe Southern Extension in North Devon. This will help unlock 750 new homes.
