After the first round of
got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (

I really don't think that Tywin would respond well to a loud and blowsy woman (his sister Genna is like that, and it seems like he was pretty exasperated with her for much of their youth). He needs someone more deliberate and measured, and that's definitely how I see Joanna.
Thank you again for reading, lovely!
