starter for @lilacdreamt​ ( jaime ) from cersei

her hands were shaking again, even as they ran through jaime’s golden hair. her eyes were glazed as she tried to calm her wild mind. she had not spoken for some time, but she was often quiet in jaime’s presence.

“do you think joffrey will be a good king?” she asks, voice almost inaudible. robert was off on a hunting trip, and she had some peaceful time alone. or alone as she could be. she had often wondered if her children would be good rulers. she would be a good ruler, and she planned on gaining such rulership. she knew he would die. gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds. still, she wondered what he would do with the golden crown he was promised by maggy the frog. always wondering.

starter for @rhaegxr​ from cersei

cersei was sure she could never really love anyone other than herself. she could claim love for another. claim it for jaime. for her father. for her future children. but she was sure love was not real, not really. real love lived in fairytales that cersei never cared for.

until she saw rhaeger. she had been little more than a girl, a pretty girl but a girl nonetheless. she had been promised by her father when she had been even younger. he had whispered promises of a crown in her ear.

and even when he had married elia, she still carried something for him. a torch, perhaps. not love. but she could always dream.

“your highness,” she greeted, quiet and beautiful as she should be. she was a woman grown, now. perhaps he would find her pleasing to the eye? even still. “copper penny for your thoughts?”
