I found you from the 5 Acts master post. I'd like to write something from Game of Thrones for you, but I wanted to check first: have you read the books? Do you care about spoilers, and what would spoil you?
First of all, yay!! Game of Thrones fic! Second of all, thank you for asking! I haven't read the books, but I am up to date on the show. I'd prefer not to be spoiled if it's at all possible.
It has since the moment he bent it, but it’s not because he feels ashamed. (He should. Ironborns don’t bend their knee to anyone, especially the son of the man who took you hostage - but that’s not it.) It’s because of something else, something other, something that he can’t quite name.
Even if he knows what started it.
We’re brothers, now and always, Robb had said. And that had sealed it - he couldn’t hate himself for bending the knee. Not when Robb had said it out loud. Not when he had been wanting to hear it since years. He knows he shouldn’t want it, he knows he should think about the two brothers he had, but he can barely remember them and what he remembers isn’t the kind of memories anyone would cherish. He stands outside his tent, recalling that moment in his head, Robb’s voice saying now and always, the sound of it so very sweet. It turns at least half bitter when he thinks that like this he’s still half an hostage, that having bent the knee doesn’t mean that at the next battle they’ll be fighting as

His hand moves from the back of Theon’s head to the side of his face and Theon can’t resist the temptations - he reaches up, covering Robb’s hand with his, his heart beating a steady, fast rhythm when Robb’s fingers tangle with his own

I'm attempting to get my thoughts in order but all that's registering is: OMG SOMEONE GAVE ME A FIC WITH HAND HOLDING.
Thank you so much for this! It was wonderfully written. Your Theon seems so on point. You have all the subtleties that made me love him in S1 of him. And your Robb is just the perfect complement to him. These two just work so well together and this fic shows that. The little touches between them (again I say, yay handholding!) were just brilliant. And it's just relieving to finally get to read Robb/Theon fic, especially one this fantastic. (I've been afraid to go looking for any in case I wind up getting spoiled)
Thank you again for the fic! I truly appreciate it. :)

(This is set in a potential future where Robb succeeds...and somehow barters Jon away from the Wall. *coughs* Anyway, I hope this works for you

Jon ducked his head, smile fading a bit, though not disappearing entirely. “Of course, your Grace. Shall I…?” He held up a bar of soap, head cocked. Robb sighed, shoulders lifting in a shrug, and Jon dunked both hands into the water, curled around the soap so it wouldn’t slide away, then began working up a lather before letting the bar fall to the water. He slid his fingers into Robb’s wet hair, going straight for the sweat and grime building up at the scalp and rubbing in slow circles. Robb groaned, eyes sliding shut and letting the side of the tub take more of his weight as Jon worked his way over his entire scalp and then down through the ends of his hair

Oh wow.
This was fantastic. You managed to capture everything I love about Jon and Robb and their dynamic. I loved the imagery and sensuality that was conveyed. And I'd love to imagine this as an ending for them. I'm sure it's one thousand times better for the one they're in store for.
Thank you so much for writing this! It was a wonderful read. :)

Thank you! I actually had to rewrite it because I wrote the first draft at work and for some reason the draft didn't save in my email and dklfjsl;dkfj so yeah. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. ^_^ I enjoy their relationship so much, so that's awesome to hear! \o/

Gossip Girl and I were through by S2. Came back because I'm a masochist and want to see how far the writers will drive that bus on Serena.
I hate shipping on Vampire Diaries because the only couple I really like will probably never happen. Stupid, boring triangle.
I tried Game Of Thrones but I kept falling asleep. I don't get it since it looks like my type of TV.
I'm surprised you ship Liv/Lincoln. I don't think I've known anyone who ships Olivia with anyone not named Peter.
