do you have any theyne fic recs? I already went through your entire catalogue and I am unwell 😭

gfnsjlkgf I knowwww, there are really not enough Theyne fics! (If by my catalogue you mean what I have up on AO3 for them...somehow it's only like 4 fics?/ I gotta find a way to write more for them.) Anyway, really wish I was better at bookmarking/remembering the fics I've read lol. But here are some truly amazing ones ❤

Take My Hand as the Sun Descends by MymbleHowl / @st-clements-steps (E; 9,266)

So anyone who knows me knows I'm not into porn like at all but DAMN this fic is just so good in every way, including the sex. Just brilliant characterization and a happy ending post-canon. Just everything you could want for this ship.

Afterlife by silverapples (M; 49,711)

The theyne novel we all need in our lives. This one starts more immediately post-canon so there's lots of angst. Theon and Jeyne go through this absolutely excruciating (in the best way) roller coaster of learning to live again (especially Theon), falling in love, going home, falling apart, and ending up together again. Tender and romantic and frustrating at times where you just want to shake them (especially Theon lol) but so good in the end.

a sparrow alighted upon our shoulder by oceaniads / @oceaniads (T; 3,053)

Beautiful and sweet fic. If you're looking for fluff with Theon and Jeyne happily married, this is the one! A fic for the shipper's soul, so to speak :D

Stormwatching by cealtrachs (G; 932)

This one's more gen, but it can easily be read as ship (and they're married so....) Gorgeously written, with lovely domesticity and care and friendship.

waltzing with the open sea by oceansoflove (T; 4,352)

So, just as I'm not a porn person, I'm also generally not a modern AU person, but I really loved this fic. It's probably my fave theyne modern AU. The writing/style is wonderful and if you're looking for an angst with a happy ending modern teenage romance AU, this is the one!

Here with me by Anonymous Rated: T Words: 4519 Archive Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Category: F/M Characters: Theon/Jeyne Summary: We are never here. We are always almost there. Moments of a life in Braavos.

A very tender post-canon daydream where Theon and Jeyne go to Braavos with Tycho Nestoris and are allowed a bit of respite, though torn between the temptation to go home and the desire to just adapt to a more peaceful life elsewhere. It's at the sweet spot between romance and friendship where all the mutual support and tenderness is platonic but the dream of romance is just within reach and the longing there is just beautiful. The narration in little timeless snapshot has such a dreamy artistic quality that works so well for Theon's pov and the mysterious atmosphere of Braavos, and the concept of Theon teaching Jeyne how to swim is so sweet and intimate!

The world disappears and suddenly he finds himself gravitating in arms. Not being able to differentiate between the touches of the water and hers. After all, she is just as fluid, just as strong and just as relieving.

[dontbotherwiththepronunciation]

Was there any responses on the Theon survey that made you feel differently about a certain headcanon, fandom trend or ship?

Thank you for your patience. It is uncommon for people to ask about my opinions but it brought a smile to my face, and your politeness only added to it.

To answer your question, sadly not, but there were still some developments on my perceptions.

Fandomwise I was mostly proven right over things I suspected in the past both in things I find uplifting and things that I find upsetting (TCKs and colonialism children in the Theon corner preferring Dany over Sansa and usually disliking the Theon/Stark ships, Robb Stark being a gift as the prevalent perception among throbb shippers, most people not caring about Jeyne Poole, thramsays being unhinged but very respectful and careful about people's boundaries) but there were a few things that had a positive reaction in me and maybe prepared me for changes.

I think I've made clear how I don't like engaging with Theon/Stark ships and sadly when it came to the squid prince and the steel skinned princess this didn't change at all, on the contrary, but when it came to the squid prince and the wolf-headed boy I was confronted with smaller subsets of the fandom that I felt could actually get me into it.

I used to be a lot more open about the later ship but as time passed it was ruined for me due to many personal vexations involving interpretation, (dismissal or vilification of) characters, themes and the constant use of show-scenes and quotes, but some of the responses from throbb people came very close to things I would theoretically enjoy in them as a ship (and as a closer characterisation of how I perceive Robb, clearly not a villain or an evil-doer but not someone I'd want to spend time with).

Nothing fully changed my mind, I didn't always agree with their reasoning and I am still sceptical because this was only a minority, but I think to some extent it made me more curious and, admittedly, less judgemental.

Here are some examples I am allowed to quote:

On Throbb as a ship, by throbb people

I only mildly dabble in shipping in asoiaf at all, however Throbb Is nice as when its done well It tends to have a lot of what I like (kidfic, canon divergences with some political element and happening around the early ACOK node, very specific hurt comfort dynamics, role reversals (enjoy Robb Is the one who had to experience Ramsay AUs even) exploration of the cultural/identity issues through conflicing loyalty etc . It rigorously has to be by people who love Theon better than Robb though

I'm someone where I will take whatever I can get tbh. All of the above. I do really enjoy stories where Robb is a darker character though, and relishes in the power he holds over Theon. Also just like playing with the theme of the Starks being wolves? And how the Ironborn were called like sea wolves by those in the riverlands and westerlands. It's very fun. I also do indulge in modern AUs where Theon is an unofficial member of the Starks. It's just very comfy. I like it less-so in canon fics because I think it very much writes off Ironborn culture in place of Northern culture. I am picky with them though because some of them are very much in the lane of "the Starks can do no wrong" and nope, the Starks can and have.

I am truly here for literally any Theon ship and they all appeal to me in different ways for different reasons. Robb and Theon - Personally I think it's really interesting how Robb is upheld as this very honourable gentleman-type but he never calls out Theon on his horrible treatment of women or other uncouth behaviour and it's suggested he actually kind of admires him for it? It gives me the impression that Robb lives vicariously through Theon a little bit and I'm fascinated by the idea of them being devoted to each other but also jealous of each other? We never see Robb's POV in the books but I think he's interesting to view through a lens of a young guy with an immense amount of pressure and responsibility on his shoulders (even before Ned dies he has the responsibility of being heir and the pressure to live up to the Stark name). I imagine that Theon is one of the few people Robb felt he could be himself around without any pressure to be respectable or honourable. He probably craves the relative freedom Theon has whole Theon longs for the status and respect that Robb has. It's an interesting dynamic! Also there's the fact that Robb is literally the only person who likes Theon and trusts him when no one else does which makes it even more heartbreaking when he betrays him.

On whether Robb Stark is a gift or not, by throbb people

No. Lol. I mean, the thing is, Robb isn’t really a terrible person or anything – book!Robb especially is young and inexperienced and genuinely seems to be trying his best in a situation that is understandably overwhelming. That said, he’s careless, self-righteous, over-privileged, emotionally manipulative, a bit vainglorious and sometimes extremely selfish, and has a tendency to do things like blame the easiest, most vulnerable (as well as the one most likely to forgive him) target for his own mistakes. He’s somewhat emotionally constipated and fairly low on empathy. He's very loyal to his family (but as we see with Sansa, it’s far from unconditional) and I think he does try to do right by people, especially those he cares about, overall. However, in the context of his relationship with Theon (where this seems to be most prominent as a Concept) he fails rather significantly and the relationship is not nonredeemable or anything, but definitely toxic.

I've only got the impression that he is a gift by reading bran's, Jon's and Arya's chapters not by theon's. In book 1 he is such an asshole to him in that bran chapter... It's more fanon I think to make Robb a gift specifically to Theon and I understand it, the show gave to us a closer relationship and many liked it and projected to Robb a caring attitude we wanted someone to have towards Theon, at least that's how it worked for me idk. Also the potential for romance, angst and tragedy by making them closer is just *chefs kiss is Robb a gift? yes is he one to Theon? they definitely have love between them but I don't think he is one to Theon.

Robb Stark as a character can really be anything you want him to be. I think only seeing him through other POV characters (especially his family) was a stroke of genius on George's part, just as we first meet Stannis in person through Maester Cressen, and later experience him through Davos' eyes (two people who love him deeply). Robb was a 16 year old dealing with some incredibly high stakes situations and a number of traumatic losses. He's mostly just tragic to me.

I still think Robb's relationships to the women in his life (Cat, Jeyne, Sansa, Arya and Dacey) are more interesting to me since they are usually explored by fandom in a more ambiguous and, in my opinion, more canon-compliant light, but yeah these made me reconsider my negative feelings about Throbb.

To some extent this also happened with Theyne, a ship I do ship but always felt weird about and sometimes had this stupid and prideful type of wish to differentiate myself from the shippers who engaged with it in a more "wholesome" manner. I came to see a lot more interest in dubious and less-positive takes on the dynamic in some of the responses and it was oddly relieving, it made me less conscious about my self-perceived discredit of the text when adding romantic connotations to Theon and Jeyne's canon dynamic (although they are somewhat present in the text too. ?????weird situationship of mutual victimhood and hellish non-consensual polycule with their torturer acting as matchmaker, third wheel and sicko lurking on the window)

[...] If it happens, it will be later down the line, probably during a potential recovery arc or even at the very end of the books. I would like to see how that plays out and I think Jeyne as his co-survivor of torture would probably be the most interesting person to play that out with because there is a common history that will remain a can of worms between them, but Jeyne seems to be (just like Kyra who came to Theon with the keys even though she didn't have to do that for her rapist!) a genuinely caring, empathetic and kind person who seems to have already bonded with Theon, seemingly knowing that he just like her did not participate willingly in her rape even though he had been compliant to his torturer's demands out of fear. And all that probably holds true even if he is still in survival mode of "I have saved Lady Arya (do not take on your actual name because that will get us both thrown back to the Boltons, this charade ain't over yet, please keep this charade up for your and my safety)". Jeyne has been badly maimed and (not only, but predominantly sexually) tortured herself, of course, so I suspect that the bond they both share will be fraught with fears and pain and ugly memories that migth feel more pressing than just memories (hello, PTSD), but i can see a way forward for both of them that I cannot see for either Jeyne and anyone else or Theon and anyone else (apart from familial bonds that Theon still has. Jeyne has no-one but Theon now, her parents are both dead and any other relatives haven't stepped up when Littlefinger sex trafficked her and Ramsay ended up repeatedly raping, maiming and psychologically torturing her). They will probably at first feel not great with each other, but I truly believe that they can help each other heal as far as possible or at least manage the aftermath of such severe torture of all kings. If he (Theon) does end up in some capacity in a romantic or sexual re-exploration of identity through a relationship of some sort, I suspect that Jeyne, who was co-tortured sexually alongside and through him (not that he was a willing participant, just someone trying to survive, doing the least harmful thing for both himself and Jeyne by partaking in being forced to rape her for Ramsay while thus becoming a victim of rape himself; apart from his former strongly insinuated sexual abuse and possible genital mutilation), might be the only person able and willing to even entertain the idea of a romantic and/or sexual connection to him, even though I think that her own state after all the sexual and other abuse means that that will be very, very far into the future. Both will probably feel safer not engaging in anything sexual for a long while, if ever, and as for romance, I think it'll probably take on a very fragile, small-gestures-of-care type of form that's more reminiscent of familial love and care rather than passionate. Both will have struggles expressing their minds, their wants and needs freely, both will be scared of physical touch probably, but then there's that image of Jeyne, half-dead herself, extending empathy to Theon and stroking his cheek telling him "you saved me", so there's that part of caring about someone already that seems like some glimmer of hope for both of them. If Theon makes it out alive through the books, I can see him ending up on the Iron Islands and her married to him for protection's sake (seeing as she's got no-one else in the world, and he has proven himself to care for her by saving her from Bolton Winterfell; while nobody else will care enough about her, or him or even be remotely positive towards him to facilitate some other marriage. She's only a steward's daugther, but a minor noble house is still a noble house, so I don't see why in-world class issues would make this impossible. It would grant both of them a safe space to recover from the abuse through each other's now safe company, and maybe find a way to love and be loved despite being more or less dead to the rest of society for various reasons. [...]

Jeyne and Theon - I think their relationship is really interesting to explore as a kind of co-dependant comforting thing where no one else quite understands their shared trauma and neither of them quite trust anyone else any more. But also they have this really soft affection for each other and see things in each other that no one else does. I think they're both seen as kind of irredeemably broken and pathetic post-Ramsay but they see the strength and kindness and value in each other that no one else can.

theon jeyne: i generally prefer nonsexual interactions, however there are ways of doing sexuality that i can like: when it is initiated by and demanded by jeyne who seeks some form of reenactment or redress or nonviolent experience or corrective with theon that she considers safe/available for this and with a theon who is reluctant at best. i like intense dangerous codependency. i don't think regular romance is available to them or rather what they have is already past that.

Asides from those, not so many changes. I think the bigger and better outcome was just learning to be less judgemental and more open. I am honestly happy of having done the survey even if sometimes I wanted to stick my head in the oven.

#I don't know how to tag this #speaking #I don't know if I should tag the ships or if this would be considered as anti-ship #anyway overall more positive feelings about those two which is good. #asoiaf #theon greyjoy #Theon x Robb #theon x Jeyne

[westerosoliviapope]

also just to clarify: does theon's and jeyne's vacation mean anything? bcs i've been struck by a horrible thought: in books they're both victims of ramsey. will he kidnap them/do them harm?

(i know this is far fetched and probably not going to happen but i still worry)

Oh, no! Other than Jeyne rolling her eyes at Theon wearing giant headphones at the airport and making terrible jokes, they had a lovely time in wine country (aka The Arbor).

The only person tormented by that trip was Robb. He wished HE could be on a vacation with the woman he loved instead of staying late at the office to avoid his fake fianceé. It was yet another event tipping him toward doing something utterly stupid. lol.

Theon/Jeyne

She kisses him, better said lounges at him, and she feels him freeze, feels him not moving at all, and hundreds of thoughts invade her mind, she ruined it, she sucks, he hates her, she shouldn't have done this, she never should have kissed him, oh my god he hates her, he hates the kiss, she's a bad kisser, he is going to push her away and never speak to her again and oh god- and then he kisses her back, his tongue is touching hers, moving along hers, and she can't think of anything, no intrusive thoughts because he is pulling her hips closer to his own, pulling her body closer to his, and her arms wrap around his body in retaliation, and he is kissing her back with the same furiosity she is kissing him- and the kiss is too much and too little at the same too, it's everything and nothing and something, and he tastes like toothpaste and she moans into the kiss, the neediness, the want in her burning and she wants more and more and more, and her hands are desperate like that, wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer.

She thinks, if this is how she could spend the rest of her days, just kissing him, just being kissed by him, she would be the happiest.

No fear, no anything, just him and his warmth and the look in his darkened eyes that soften when he looks at her, just him him him, it's all she needs.

Bee Stung!Jeyne/Theon + Halloween

Theon hooks up with Jeyne Poole on Halloween.

He thinks it was an accident—only maybe it wasn’t. 

He knew who she was. Not the moment he first saw her, because truth be told, it was from the back, and all he could see were her assless chaps—he’s never denied having a one track mind but he’s not gonna admit it aloud either—so by the time she winded her way around, by the time her hips swiveled his way in time with the best, he categorically does not know. 

Then he does. Then she’s Jeyne. Sansa’s Jeyne, not Robb’s Jeyne. But he faintly recalls how much she wanted to be. Those starry eyed glances she’d shoot his way when she thought nobody was watching. It was Sansa everyone always watched. 

Theon knows a thing or two about that. About looming shadows. About living in them. 

That isn’t why it happens, though.

It happens because one second, she’s Jeyne, and the next, she’s all big brown eyes, long lashes, and glitter. She’s got her glossy lips puckered around a dum dum pop revealed to be just as pink when she pulls it free, still dancing. She falters a little though, when she sees him. 

Jeyne, if he had any doubts, every single one of them was erased by the sight of the golden name plate hanging between her breasts. All five letters slanted together. 

Underneath the wide brim of her pink cowboy hat, her eyes narrow, even as they flicker up and down. Even as her cheeks flush the cutest shade of pink.

Theon smirks. 

That’s how it starts. Attraction. Chemistry. Human fucking nature, even. 

It isn’t anything deeper than that.

he shakes his head, and she can see how it hurts; can see where his neck stutters under the weight of his waning head, where what is left of his teeth nibble at the insides of his cheeks. she knows that pain, too. she lays awake some nights, when the phantom hand that grips and rearranges her ribs like a puzzle of his own design returns with vengeance—does not sleep for several after. her stomach churns, almost in remembrance, and a shiver passes down her spine.

Are there any fics where Robb successfully takes Kings Landing and survives? It can have any pairings, I'm not picky with that scenario. Also, him getting there in time to get to Ned would be a nice bonus, but it's not necessary. Vengeful Robb going bonkers on the Lannisters after Ned's death would be nice too. Extra points if Jon and/or Theon are there too.

Stormwatching by cealtrachs / @cealtrachs Rated: General Audiences Words: 932 Archive Warnings: Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Category: Gen Characters: Theon Greyjoy & Jeyne Poole Summary: With a storm descending on Pyke, Theon and Jeyne have a cozy evening in.

A really sweet future fic told in such lovely, vivid images, a perfect blend of aesthetic and little wordlbuilding details (Jeyne turns her spoon in her dainty hand and slices it into her baked apple, perfuming the room with warm orchard smells. House Redwyne has been sending them by the crateful since Euron’s defeat.) . This Jeyne seems to fit so well in her new environment and as the softhearted lady of Pyke and the domesticity - hanging out on the beach, puppies etc. - is just a lovely moment of respite
