I Wrote a Thing!

I signed up for rarefemslashexchange and had kind of mixed feelings when I matched on ASOIAF fandom. On the one hand, it's not a fandom I have much interest in these days; the show ended with a whimper, I say this without rancour but the next book is never coming out, and House of the Dragon contains approx. seventy-three interchangeable blonde men that I cannot tell apart. On the other hand, it is a fandom I'm so comfortable writing in that it's like pulling on a pair of cozy, comfy old jammies.

Also, the requested pairing was Cersei Lannister/Lyanna Stark, which wasn't something I'd ever written or even really thought about, so that immediately had my brain fizzing with ideas. I ended up going with one where Lyanna survives the rebellion and is so messed up by this that fucking Cersei Lannister seems like a reasonable course of action, you know, as you do.

Castle of Rats (ASOIAF; Cersei/Lyanna; 3k)

You might have thought that after the realms tore themselves apart in Lyanna Stark's name people would have been happier when the girl herself was found alive in some godsforsaken corner of Dorne, but of course the men who had killed and died for Lyanna had done so for some imagined, untouched, silent paragon, and the grief stricken, vengeful, very much touched girl who returned only served to make them angrier.

So, yeah, that was fun. I should try to write more. I've missed it.
