For a hobbit heart wants love, and among dwarves that is a sticky subject.

    Summary

    A man from modern day America wakes up to find himself in Westeros, years before the show's start. As a fan (and to an extent, realist), how will he act according to the future he knows is coming?

    I'm withholding any relationship tags or archive warnings to avoid giving too much of the game away. Hope you can forgive me!

    *3/25/26 Update: So I'm alive. That's the good news. Bad news is my lack of progress. Do you like depression? Because I don't. I'm sorry that I've made away with the word count. But it would just be disappointing. I'll bring it back when I'm back writing steadily.

    I'm also sorry, not only for the lack of progress. But also for the lack of transparency. I wanted to be further along. But I couldn't make that happen and I was embarrassed about it. I'll try and be back sooner than later. Hope you all are well.

    Summary

    How dare Criston –
    How dare Alicent –
    And even her own father –

    She’d been letting the Hightowers choose their battlefields for years now, since she was naught but a heartbroken girl of eight who had lost her mother and brother in a single day. She had been letting them make their moves without challenge, but no longer.
    Alicent had worn a banner of War, and Criston had chosen his side.

    One should never poke a passive dragon, no matter how docile or pretty it appeared, lest they be faced with fire and blood.

     

    (Or; Rhaenyra and her sad, gay husband Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss their way to getting what they want)
