I don't know what I'm doing here. Confused. Send help.

Teen me: HP, Sherlock, Middle Earth, Mark Gatiss, Lee Pace, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hannibal, Spn, GoT, Alan Rickman, Jared Leto, vampires, Dr Who, books, movies, more books, more movies, music, fanfiction and more more more. Not necessarily in that order.  Old me after years of not being here: yeah... right... Her, 32, with new obsessions.

Eve Best and Archie Barnes in "Wild Cherry" aka when the joint Daemon-hate is so strong, they cast you as mother and son in another universe.

*gently takes your face in my hands* hey. remember that fandom is for fun. if you're not having fun it is ok to step back. if you're intentionally making it unfun for others it is ok to step back. none of this is real. go sit in the sun and smell a flower. i love you.

Daeron and Rhaenyra Targaryen parallels in House Of The Dragon season 3 [2/4]

[somerhall]

You haven't spoken a word to me since Mother's funeral.

Rhaenyra avoiding Joffrey like Viserys avoided seeing Rhaenyra after Aemma died.

And I so wanted it to be true.

Rhaenyra becoming obsessed with a prophetic belief and making it come true rather than playing the board in front of her like Viserys before her.

He doesn't protect you. I would.

Daemon believing he'd serve Rhaenyra's interests best by remaining at her side to protect her from herself and her council the same way he wanted to be by Viserys's side to protect him from himself and his council of leeches.

You've only ever sent me away.

Rhaenyra telling Daemon he keeps failing her and sending him away from the capital like Viserys did.

I alone patrol over a hundred miles of open sea, endlessly, to hold the blockade.

Baela scouring the Riverlands day and night barely sleeping or eating after supporting Jace in going to battle like Rhaenys patrolled the Gullet day and night barely sleeping or eating after choosing not to eliminate the Greens when she had the chance and stop the war before it begun.

Princess Rhaenys, the Queen Who Never Was

Baela realizing she'll spent the rest of her life being the Queen Who Never Was, her potential wasted like that of her grandmother before her.

I have a necklace. It's of great value.

Alicent trading a necklace to buy Helaena's escape the same way Helaena tried to use a necklace to barter for her child's life and both of them failing.

I came to you to be liberated.

Alicent telling Mysaria that she will never be Rhaenyra's first choice and that sticking with Rhaenyra will only endanger her the same way she wasn't Daemon's first choice and sticking with him ultimately only endangered her.

Viserys I: Why are you covered in blood?

Daemon: this is just my aesthetic

Unfriendly reminder that if you're displeased with a piece of fanfiction your courses of action are:

Read something else

Bitch PRIVATELY to friends

Write your own take on the premise (strongly recommend!)

All of the above

Under no circumstances should you try to "politely" critique the author who put the story up as a hobby. For free. Especially if the story in question is multiple years old. Ao3 is not Goodreads

being a writer is fun
