I set her on my pacing steed,

And nothing else saw all day long,

For sidelong would she bend, and sing

A faery's song.

"THE AWAKENING OF STANNIS BARATHEON"

AU - Modern - In which Stannis walks into a bookshop and his life is changed forever…

“Text me?”

“I’m not…good at this,” he felt that he should warn her as he took the card and slid it into his pocket. 

“No offense, Stannis, but I’ve already figured that out,” she shrugged. “It doesn’t bother me, I actually find it very endearing.”

“I am sure that, given time, you’ll find me as exhausting as my brothers do,” he replied. 

“And here I was hoping that, given time, we’d find ways to exhaust each other that have nothing to do with anyone else..."

Fandom question meme

I was tagged by @felisblanco !

1. How many works on AO3?

33

2. Total AO3 Word Count?

1,744,372

3. Top 5 fics by Kudos?

1. Queen of the Seven Kingdoms (4,919 Kudos), 2. The Lady of Storm's End (4,445 Kudos), 3. An Inconvenient King (1,217 Kudos), 4. The Admiral's Eyes (1,175 Kudos) and 5. The Baratheon Patient (1,118 Kudos)

All Stannis/Sansa fics, haha.

4. What fandoms do you write for?

I mostly have ASOIAF fic to my name, but back in the olden times I used to write a bit of HP fic. I've also written one random Labyrinth fic.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Nearly always! Sometimes I get distracted and then forget for a while, but I usually always end up responding eventually. (Sometimes I won't respond if the comment is an emoji or something similar that contains very little for me to respond to.)

6. Angstiest Ending?

I think Sunrise might be my angstiest story - the ending is fairly happy, but it's not the fluffy happy ending that I tend to prefer.

7. Fic with the Happiest Ending?

I think they're all pretty happy. But I really like the ending to Queen of the Seven Kingdoms

8. Do you get hate?

I recall getting the occasional nasty comment, but nothing crazy.

9. Do you write smut?

Yes!

10. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't really done a full-blown crossover, but Discworld's Death has a cameo in A Christmas Carol 

11. Ever had a fic stolen?

I've seen a couple re-posted at different sites, but usually they still refer to me as the author. So they've been distributed without my permission, but no one has tried to steal credit. (As far as I know.)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I don't think so?

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yes! An Inconvenient King and the sequel is cowritten with @bluecichlid - good times!

14. All time favourite ship?

My most recent OTP is Stannis/Sansa, and it's the one that has inspired me to write the most fic, so I think we'll go with that one.

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There were two sequels planned for An Inconvenient King, and I actually have completed drafts, but I doubt they'll ever get edited and posted. C'est la vie.

16. Writing Strengths?

Smut that isn't too cringe? Idk.

17. Writing Weaknesses?

I'm terrible at writing descriptions/setting the scene. Mainly because I'm not a very visual reader and tend not to care what any given location looks like. I'm happy just knowing that it's a living room/kitchen/restaurant/whatever. I don't need any information about the decor that isn't directly relevant to the plot. Hahaha.

18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

I don't mind it when I encounter it, but prefer that the author includes a translation if it's not something that can be easily understood through context. I can't remember if I've done much of it, tbh.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. Experiencing the three year summer was very special at the time, and even though JKR's decision to become a terrible person has since soured the whole thing, I will remain grateful to the fans that made that time period in my life so unique.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Probably a toss up between Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and Sunrise. The former because I'm just so proud of beating that monster of a story into submission, and the latter because it was inspired by @emynithilien's wonderful story: To Play it With You and I really enjoyed playing in the AU she created.

Tagging everyone who wants an excuse to do this!

The BEST of Us

It's time for Sansa to give birth. Stannis comes to visit her and her baby.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

[callablackfyre]

Still debating how I feel about the album, but *Eldest Daughter* is now on the Stansa playlist.

[stansaaa]

watched the first episode of Joan (2024), and i’m just thinking about how funny it is that it seems like Sophie Turner and Frank Dillane are going to be love interests in it when i used to want her to be in something with his father so bad bc of my Stannis/Sansa agenda
