Series Masterlist | Chapter One

GODS DAMN HER. Y/n wanted the fucking butter. It was glorious, it looked creamy and she spied a sprinkling of flaky sea salt on the top of it. The bread would be too tasteless and dry for her to eat without any butter. But she just refused Jacaerys' offer, and she was already rude enough when declining it. He would think she was doing it just to spite him. Honestly, he wouldn't be wrong... But her mother would notice, and perhaps one of his siblings were paying attention to the whole thing.

She was snapped out of her daze, her thoughts of butter, when Jacaerys began talking with her. She had to suppress the urge to look away from those puddles of brown eyes. He resembles a desperate puppy, she thought to herself.

"Tell me, my lady," Jacaerys spread some of that smooth butter upon his own piece of bread. The small piece of it rolled over the baked dough seamlessly, filling any of the sunken areas. By the end of his spreading, a perfect sheet of pale yellow lay atop the slice. Y/n's mouth watered, so she tore away herself from butter admiration to face her betrothed instead. "What is Essos like?"

Y/n cleared her throat, taking a long sip from the goblet in front of her. "It's different from Westeros." She hoped her very vague, very brusque answer would be enough. Obviously not.

"How so?" Jacaerys pressed. He genuinely was curious. He should get to know his betrothed, make her feel comfortable here enough so she could tell him things. Besides that motive, he'd read much on Essos, and the content was a collection of culture and wonder.

"The air is certainly cleaner," she jabbed. But to her frustration, the insult came across as a joke, not a direct poke at the conditions of Westeros. Most of the table gathered together in light laughter, including the silly prince. The way his eyes crinkled and the way his cheeks moved... it was infuriating. It wasn't meant to be humorous.

"I'd wager it is," Jacaerys continued. "Baela and Rhaena have told me about Pentos before." He gestured to the girls opposite them.

"You've been to Pentos?" Y/n questioned, her interest perking up.

"We were born there," the one with the curls answered. "I'm Baela, by the way. Rhaena's my little sister."

"You were born nine minutes before me, how am I your little sister?"

"Still younger," Baela interjected. "I do not care what you may argue, young one."

"I am going to strangle you," Rhaena threatened. "I will make sure your remains are burnt into a pile of ashes by your own dragon. Moondancer shall feast on your bones."

Baela scoffed. "Please. Moondancer loves me far too much to eat my corpse."

Daemon sniggered amusedly. His wife smiled a moment, and shook her head. "Girls. Perhaps we should refrain from mentioning such... morbid anecdotes during our meal. You'll scare off our guests."

"It is no mind," Y/n waved off, almost making a sound of victory when she saw her mother's brows raise. "It is quite funny, actually. I myself do not have siblings."

"How lucky," Jacaerys tutted. Gods every time his voice sounded it like a sword scraping on a surface of metal to her. She could never uncover the particular reason, but there wasn't really a difference when it was overshadowed by her general irritability. "I swear I have beasts instead of brothers. Four of them too."

She noticed he mentioned four brothers, and not two.

"How unfortunate for you," Y/n mused.

Jacaerys chuckled. Does he take everything as a joke? Apparently so. “Truly.”

“Hey!” A slightly younger boy, the one next to Jacaerys looked offended.

“Oh piss off Luke,” he brushed his brother off. “I’ve heard you say much worse things about me. You should count yourself lucky I do not tell Mother.”

"Do not tell me what?" Rhaenyra cut in. Her eyes were demanding, as they looked back and forth between her two boys. They looked back at their mother guiltily, then towards each other. Luke glared, but Y/n could not see Jacaerys' expression.

"Nothing, Mother," Lucerys interrupted before she could say anything more. "Jace was lying."

Jacaerys opened his mouth for a retort, though he ultimately decided against it. He wouldn't want to look stupid in front of the girl to be his wife, and of course his mother would reprimand him for it. He shifted his attention back to her, much to Y/n's dismay. He caught the way her nose wrinkled, or how her brows twitched. He wasn't even offended, he even found himself staring a moment too long.

"Something you wanted, my prince?" Y/n inquired. It took all of her willpower not to arch a brow or look at him in a less than polite manner.

Quickly, Jacaerys regained his thoughts. He'd never done that before, moon over a lady. His cheeks were pink. "Oh um yes. I was wondering if you'd like to take a tour of the keep- with me. Chaperoned, of course. I thought you might enjoy seeing the sighs, familiarise yourself. Uh I think your mother might've mentioned to mine that you enjoy history? The place is full of it."

At that, Y/n shot a disappointed look to her mother. This was aggravating, how much effort he was willing to put in. Honestly, they could go their separate ways until they were wed, and meet once in a while to have babies. Oh fuck, she thought to herself, jaw almost dropping when she recalled that particular detail. I have to-

"Something the matter, my lady?"

"What?" The decibels of her voice sounded an octave higher.

"Did you... not want to go?" Jacaerys asked. His eyebrows were raised as he looked at her with a queer curiosity.

After her mother cleared her throat, Y/n realised she truly had no choice. Swallowing and smiling tightly, she nodded. "It would be my utmost honour to be accompanied by you in a tour of your lovely home. I am certain it will be utterly enlightening."

Baela coughed on her drink as she was sipping from her goblet, letting out a very unbecoming snort. Everyone looked to glance at her. She raised her eyes from the cup, a sheepish smile upon her pretty face. But she laughed nonetheless, which left Jacaerys rolling his eyes. Baela patted Y/n on the back. "I like you."

Y/n grinned in return, a simple agreement that she too reciprocated Baela's sentiment.

"Congratulations, sister," Rhaena snarked. "Someone finally likes you. You've got yourself a friend after six and ten years."

"You're going be dead at six and ten years."

After yet another threat of death between the sisters, a second small argument ensued between them both. Only when their father intervened did they come to a stop, mumbling out apologies. Y/n thought Daemon didn't really want to end it. He seemed the type to find decapitation or castration quality comedy.

"Mother," came the voice of the youngest boy at the table. He hadn't spoken much during the length of the meal, only observing.

Rhaenyra leaned down to hear the boy's request. She was an attentive mother, Y/n noticed. If only her own could be as kind. “What is it, Joffrey?”

“I want dessert,” he mumbled out. He looked upset when he looked at his plate, like he wished the whole thing was replaced with sweets.

“You always want dessert,” Jacaerys pointed out. Lucerys ruffled his brother's hair, who shrieked when he did.

“Don’t tease your brother,” Rhaenyra reprimanded. She focused her attention back to little Joffrey. "When everyone has finished their food, you can have dessert." But she passed him a cut of a sweeter cheese, an offering.

Joffrey huffed at that, taking the cheese, although when he resumed eating, he wasn't doing it with much enthusiasm. Y/n smiled at the sight of his pouting lips and furrowed brows. He was considerably more endearing than his older brother.

Moments later, Joffrey's wish was granted. Everyone had concluded eating. The servants cleared all the plates and leftover foods. Joffrey clapped his hands in delight when heaps of treats were brought out from the kitchens. There were golden, flaky pastries, lemon cakes and other assortments of fruit and sweets.

"Anything particularly catching your eye, my lady?" Jacaerys offered.

She ignored his request. Obviously, if she were to answer, he would take it for her and all of that gentlemanly nonsense. So Y/n swiped off a piece of lemon cake, and two pieces of fruit, without sparing him a side glance. She could hear Baela giggling to herself again.

The lemon cake wasn't as rich as most Essosi desserts, lacking the depth and fullness of flavour native to her homelands. She did enjoy the tanginess and sweetness of the candied lemon on top of the cake, which was soft and slightly crumbly. The fruits weren't bad to taste either, fresh and juicy.

She cursed herself for finishing her dessert too quickly. After the last piece of fruit had been swallowed down her throat, Jacaerys and quickly stood and outreached a hand. "Shall we begin our tour now, my lady?"

"Yes," she replied monotonously. She made a hasty attempt of finishing her drink when she stood. The gods certainly hated her, because her knee buckled, and her hand flew out to grab onto Jacaerys'. His flesh was warm, palm soft with the exception of a few callouses. Her eyes widened when they looked at each other. He was smiling, close to a smirk.

With burning cheeks, Y/n snatched her hand away and pushed her chair in. "Let's go."

"Very well, my lady."

✸ one hundred nine

I’m just going to leave this here…

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

un headcannon que yo tengo sobre regulus y sirius, es que además de hablar francés también aprendieron otras lenguas romances de chicos, corte italiano u español, específicamente con acento rioplatense y puedo imaginarlos peleando en español solamente porque tiene insultos más fuertes 💀

seguramente usarían insultos tipo;

hijo de puta

la recalcada concha de tu madre

la puta que te pario

aborto mal hecho

y hay mejores🤠

Ravenclaw (or slyherin tbh) + child/legacy of apollo or athena (i get hecate, ares and hephaestus a lot in quizzes tho, its confusing) + Scorpio sun, Aquarius moon, Leo rising

Shh! I’m doing SCIENCE-

I wanna see if there’s any correlation between your Hogwarts house and who you headcanoned as your Godly Parent.

Reblog with what you diagnosed yourself as and we’ll see if there’s any overlap. If you want, add your star sign for good measure. I’ll go first:

Huffleclaw (Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw) + Legacy of Apollo (Although all the quizzes say I’m a child of Athena) + Ares Sun, Ares Moon, Cancer Rising

poseidon cabin headcanons

children of poseidon

• none of them eat sea food because they're allergic to it.

• their state of mind changes constantly, just like the ocean. they can go from calm to rowdy to focused to distracted in a matter of seconds.

• due to the ocean's unpredictability and changing nature, every poseidon child is slightly different than their siblings. some can have calmer, gentler natures while some can be downright unpredictable and terrifying.

• their body temperature changes depending on how warm or cool the nearest ocean to them is.

• they prefer savory foods over sweet.

• eating food with a lot of oil makes them sick. (because water and oil don’t mix).

• they like to collect anything in their father's territory (pearls, corals, shells, etc.).

• their favorite snacks are goldfish, swedish fish, whale crackers, gummy sharks, and any other ocean creature shaped crackers or candies.

• they can communicate by putting folded or rolled up paper into a bottle and letting the waves carry it to its intended recipient.

• some of them help out with at the infirmary since they can heal people with water.

• since skateboarding was invented by surfers, children of poseidon can pick up skateboarding just as easily as surfing.

• some of them can teleport using water, in a similar way with shadow travel.

• if they use a lot of energy, they can cross an entire ocean but they'll probably pass out after.

• the sound of ocean waves are a calming sound to them and the sound helps them sleep at night.

• they all live in a state or country that is exposed to the ocean.

• they all have wavy hair. the hair type varies from child to child.

• they are all flat-footed because it aids them greatly in swimming.

cabin exterior

• their cabin is adorned with various nautical elements such as anchors, shells, and seaweed motifs carved into the walls and pillars.

• they have seashell wind chimes hanging from the eaves outside of their cabin.

• they also have driftwood sculptures and nets hung with seaglass and polished stones.

• the entrance is flanked by columns resembling coral formations, intricately carved with sea motifs.

• they have statues of sea creatures at the entrance of their cabin that come to life when their cabin is under threat.

cabin interior

• the cabin is decorated with ship wheels, anchors, ropes, and lanterns. the beds in the cabin resemble hammocks or ship bunks.

• there are no windows in the cabin, only open spaces to allow natural light in. this maintains the airy and open feel of the cabin.

• there are murals of sea creatures, waves, and underwater scenes. shells and starfish are embedded in the walls and ceiling.

• the lighting in the cabin resemble bioluminescent sea creatures, casting a gentle, otherworldly glow. at night, the room might look like an underwater scene with soft, moving lights resembling schools of fish.

• they have a magical, interactive map that shows the locations of any and all bodies of water in the world. it can highlight areas of significance, like recent sea monster sightings or sunken treasure locations.

cabin traditions

• dunking their heads in the toilet has become their acceptance ritual. the campers basically do it to honour/laugh at percy, but instead of an actual toilet, they just dunk them in a basin of water.

• they have a wall where every kid of poseidon has scratched their name, beginning with percy, so that when there is another occasion in which there is only one camper, they don't have to feel alone.

• before world war ii, they had an initiation where they would send their new siblings into the ocean. they had to retrieve a seashell from as far beneath the ocean as possible. they have a wall in their cabin dedicated to these shells.
