a plotted starter for @sunfyred
for the longest time, sansa had thought this day would never come. her position in the north had changed the day her father was imprisoned, her freedom no longer a matter that rested in his hands, but rather in the hands of her cousin, cregan. bennard stark's plotting had not ceased at just holding onto the lordship of house stark, but rather had extended far greater than his nephew could have ever imagined – a matter that had been kept quiet and secret still. long had he sought power and glory, long were the lengths he was willing to go to achieve it, even if it had meant sending his only daughter from winterfell's halls. she'd been raised as was befitting a highborn lady, prim – proper, exceptionally well - behaved when her brothers were not teasing her or drawing her ire, made into the perfect offering of a wife to viserys targaryen's firstborn son.
it'd taken an extended effort to free her from winterfell, a jointed effort between sansa's own lady mother and the hightowers, a planned trip to visit her mother's family in karhold, wherein sansa and lady margaret had boarded a ship and sailed from the shivering sea to blackwater bay. it'd not been an easy journey, so many days on board a ship that she swore her stomach had turned as often as the tides, but she had survived it. had survived the uncertain eyes at the port – and had been far more thankful than she had ever been when her feet had touched sturdy, dry land.
but if she were meant to feel less nerves, her stomach had not received the memo; freshly bathed and fed, dressed in a soft grey gown of lace and velvet, sansa had been directed into the throne room, directed forward to stand underneath the watchful gaze of far too many eyes. she hadn't known much of her husband - to - be; rumors from the south did not oft travel well north, and save for what her father had allowed her to know of aegon – that he was a handsome, targaryen king, named after the conqueror himself – she'd come into the room as uncertain and unsure as one could have possibly been.
good manners dictate that she sink into a bow, a graceful curtsy with steel grey hues downturned to the floor; she counts seconds in her head, soft, delicate numbers, until she finally exhales a breath and stands tall once more, allowing her eyes to flicker up from the floor to land on the man who sits the throne before her. her heart skips a subtle beat, a gentle flush of pink settling across the apples of her porcelain cheeks – the letters hadn't been wrong about aegon being handsome. his eyes a shade of purple that sansa longed to get lost in, the expression on his features one she cannot precisely read, but one she finds herself all the more intrigued by.
a smile curls onto her lips, warm and sweet, as her hands smooth out the skirt of her gown. “ it is a pleasure to meet you, your grace. although i fear my father's words may have . . . downplayed certain aspects of the capital. ”
I want - no, I need more long term, in depth ships. The kind of ships that I can’t stop thinking about. That have a real chokehold on you as an rper. Really thought out, headcanoned and plotted ships. Where we obsess over them endlessly. Go back and forth and stay up late just to read one or two more replies. Where you can get so attached to the characters involved that you can feel what they’re feeling, the good, the bad, the ugly. The kind of ships that really make the RP experience. The ones we can really develop, see grow over the months, have long angsty threads of, but also short fluffy or smutty ones as well. Or where we can post a random one liner just to mix things up here and there! Yeah, I need more ships like that. So please, like… message… send a carrier pigeon... doesn’t matter! Because as the great t.swif.t once said… it’s a need.
you want to send me things from my meme tag, you want to do it SO bad 🌀🌀🌀
there is no one who knows her better than him, no one who understands the delicately chaotic workings of a mind that could just so easily break as it could blossom. for all the effort of saying he wasn't taking her seriously, cora knows there's no one better to press her – no one better to test the strength of a surgically repaired knee. even if he's more distraction now than teacher. more hazy fog clouded into her mind when she needed it clear to think, more inhaled scent of him – smoke and his cologne, a little bit of sweat. it takes effort to breathe against his teeth on her neck, to not allow dark eyes to fall shut as she leans back into the open air of their garage. “ you're not fighting fair. ” she mumbles, half - whine for the mark she knows she'll bear upon tanned skin, before hungry brown eyes scan over his body in search of her exit strategy.
she's not a flyer, prefers her feet on the ground – a few reckless stunts from tops of cages that'd left her shoulders less than perfect that insist she doesn't continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. but cora's nothing if not inventive, if not willing to try anything once if it suits her; right now anything to put him flat on his back suited well enough. her fingers tangle into his beard, gentle at first before wrenching tight to shove him back, a delicate nudge of her foot to his chest – fingers curled around the ropes as she maneuvers up to stand upon the turnbuckle, letting go one by one until she's balancing hands free and staring down at him with the same sort of quiet determination one might see in a toddler before they reigned down chaos.
she doesn't know what exactly she's going for, doesn't really know what to do with her hands or . . . any other part of her – half crossbody, half flying nothing, meant to collide into him and little else. a reckless leap of faith without a secondary thought or hesitation – shit eating grin curled onto her mouth.
he had pushed her into the turnbuckle with his palms on her hips first. the motion of his hips followed right after. experimentally first, then with purpose. moxley knows about training for a comeback⸺ knows about the feeling of carrying a chip on the shoulder that is so heavy, one might lose balance and stumble off the path of determination and instead end up with doggedness. fuck, he’s wandered down the wrong road once or twice or a hundred times before. it is the tenacity of waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for body to comply with mind again and shit ; fuck him if he’d let cora crash and burn the way he had. fuck him if, between fight and bite, he didn’t make sure to remind her why they even step in the ring. together.
“ i’m taking you so fuckin’ seriously. “ mumbles between kisses and breaks the touch of tongue to tongue just for a second⸺ just long enough to dig fingertips into the skin of her thighs and lift her up onto the top turnbuckle. she’s taller than him now, his lips right against her throat to suck on sensitive flesh and rub his beard against the quickly irritated skin. “ c’m on⸺ ‘m sure ya know a wait outta here. “ and he knows a way further in, sinks teeth into muscle and skin and groans in excitement over the salty taste of her body.
she should not have spoken, a fact that rings so painfully within her temples as she watches his attention turn to her – as she watches eyes that had forgotten about her flicker back with life at remembrance of her in the corner. it was a mistake she made often enough now, the reminder that as a bastard she was meant to be not seen nor heard, whereas the position she'd been so used to had been anything but; a lady of her standing was used to being present and in center, used to having eyes upon her . . . sansa would've given anything to slink back into the shadow of the corner of the chamber now, back into the forgottenness of her seat, to where littlefinger had told her to play her role as little mouse to listen and little else.
“ father does not wish for me to sit with you. ” she replies coolly, placid as her gaze shifts back to her embroidery. it was easier to not look at him, to not acknowledge features that held a sickening familiarity she could not explain – looking at him made her think of robb. of bran and rickon. in her trailing thoughts, she forgets the placement of her needle; forgets that which her hands know better than all else, and before sansa can stop it from happening, her needle plunges into the soft flesh of her index finger.
embroidery clatters to the floor as if it's bitten her, metal sticking from porcelain digit, before she plucks it out and sticks the pad between her lips, brows wrought together. a shake of her head, a moment – or is it several? before sansa, no, alayne, lifts blue eyes to meet maron's once more. “ my opinions hold no weight here, they are as useful as the difference between whether you choose to do something based off of your indiscrimination or your indifference, lord greyjoy. which is to say . . . not at all. ”
she shifts up from her seat, stretching long legs from where they'd been tucked so gracefully underneath her as she stands to full height before bending just as carefully to retrieve her embroidery. with it in hand once again, she sits down in the chair petyr had previously occupied. “ what has he promised you? ” no fineries, no sweet, simpering smile; she doesn't play that game anymore. “ in his letters to get you here, what deal has he offered that you found so entrancing to brave the probability that he would not simply have you thrown from the moon door? ”
HE SHOULDN'T BE HERE . far removed from all he knows and all he's comfortable with , strangely in the hands of a man he knew not to trust . what had driven him to answer Baelish's invitation , the young Salt Prince couldn't say anymore . curiosity , perhaps . the scent of a chance he'd be stupid not to take ; the scent of an offer he might benefit from . home was far behind him , usurped and out of reach , and allies were few and far between . . . and while he only vaguely remembered the man from the few times Stannis had brought him to court , he knew better than to underestimate Littlefinger . a man with a liar's tongue and the morals of a sewer rat didn't survive in the world without cleverness . and it was the clever people , one shouldn't insult .
all the way through the long and daunting conversations , he had shoved the notion from his head that nothing but thin air lay below his feet for miles upon miles . he had swallowed the unease and erased the memory of his fall , down , down into the abyss the day Robert Baratheon had laid siege to Pyke and life as he knew it had ended . to say the Eyrie unnerved him would be an understatement . and still , the Greyjoy sat , apparently calm , listening , conversing . . . breathing a sigh of relief at Baelish's laughter to his last statement and the view of his back leaving the room , to find a servant . more wine . more food . more everything .
what he had not expected , was a voice piping up from a corner of the room he had almost forgotten about .
quiet , busy with her work until now , he had initially noticed her and still looked somewhat surprised to eventually hear her speak . the name had slipped his mind , but her connection to Littlefinger had not . and that , perhaps had been the most surprising aspect of it all . brows arched , his bright , ocean - blue eyes settling on her petite form in a way most would describe as unsettling , but his voice remained a calm singsong . " ah , but indiscriminately is not quite the same as a lack of thought and care , is it ? " he tilted his head ever so lightly . " just because I'd be willing to kill anyone does not mean I wish to kill everyone . the Vale is quite safe , my lady . no worries . "
those he wished to see dead were plundering the Reach after all . far enough from the kraken's grasp , no matter how long it stretched its tentacles .
" why won't you sit with us ? take part in the conversation ? " a gesture towards one of the empty chairs at the table , and a touch of a smile in the corners of his lips . cocky , no doubt . self - assured . for but a moment , one perhaps could see the likeness between him and Theon , were it not for the fact that unlike his younger brother , Maron breathed and lived Ironborn . he smiled and spoke calmly , washing a feeling of ease and humor into these godforsaken halls , but underneath it all lingered an undercurrent and the unpredictable nature of the sea . " after all , it seems like you have some opinions yourself . "
interview with the vampire (1994) sentence starters . . . i think.
@azmenka said : you fear too much. so much you make me fear.
there is an unnatural flicker in the violets of her eyes, a light that seems to drift from one pupil to the other as helaena shifts in her seat and casts her attention to maron properly, a cant of her head to the right, tendrils of silver blonde hair framing her face. a blank stare, blinking, as if she's looking right through him, as if he isn't even there, before pupils scatter and finally land on his features.
“you do not fear enough.”
she says softly, curling her hands into her lap, a slow, languid blink of eyelids as her brows furrow together. helaena was . . . accustomed to the idea of everyone else choosing to believe her words were little more than wind, wasted breath on false prophecy – wasn't that the cruel fate of the world? blessed with dreams of dragons . . . cursed to be the daughter none believed. until it was too late, until death had already wracked halls and strewn corpses high.
“krakens should not linger on land, lord greyjoy.” a breathy exhale as she shifts again in her seat, turning her head away to look out the open window. “you do not have the legs for it.”
menacing on discord for the rest of the night <3
