Comment fic meme #2

Mar 05, 2012 15:28

After the first round of got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (here's a list of all the fics that were written last time), so I thought it might be fun to do this again. (Like last time, it's posted on the mod account journal because I don't want to enable anonymous comments on the exchange community.)

Robb/Theon - Post ADWD Spoilers AU iamacoyfish March 5 2012, 18:31:52 UTC
SPOILERS UP TO ADWD.

Maybe Robb doesn't die during the Red Wedding, and during his northern campaign, he finds Theon Greyjoy again. c:

... okay I think I need to give this one a go. Is there anything specific you'd want/not want to happen or do I just go with it? :)

;^; Um, as long as there's some romantic tension, whatever you decide will be fantastic! Augh, thank you so much!

#1: oh dear this is looong and idk if the tension is romantic enough - this wasn't going to not stay platonic unless I wrote another 10k words of it but I might see to expand on it. adwd!theon is hard to get into a romantic situation dammit. aanyway I really hope it works for you.

#2: also, backstory: in my head, in this thing Robb has stayed back with Jeyne for some reason and never went to the Red Wedding at all, but it still happened anyway and everyone else who died in there is still dead in this. And re Theon I might have spared him a few months of quality time with Ramsay.

The last thing Ramsay Snow says, before the blade of Robb’s sword meets his neck, is that there’s a gift for him in the dungeons.

You’ll recognize it, he had added. If you have doubts, tell your lackeys to follow the stenchRobb goes himself after throwing Roose Bolton in one of his own cells. Whatever this is, it’s personal, and he won’t send anyone else to do the job for him ( ... )

Robb paces all over one of the servants’ rooms - he wasn’t going to spend a minute in any room in this godsforsaken place where Roose Bolton or his bastard used to spend their time regularly - and he wonders what is he even doing.

He should have cut Theon’s head on the spot the second he realized who he was.

Theon probably had agreed, since the moment he recognized Robb he had just lowered his head wordlessly, baring his neck.

But there was a split second in which their eyes had met, and -

I want his head, not his skin, he had told Roose Bolton once (hadn’t he?) and now that he had seen what exactly had happened, he hadn’t been able to do it.

He isn’t sure that he won’t do it at all, and it’s not as if he owes Theon anything, but he just couldn’t do it in that cell, with that stench all around them, with his feet buried in filth; if he takes Theon’s head - fine, when he takes it - he’s going to do it with an audience. And while a part of him is arguing that Theon doesn’t deserve to die with dignity, Robb is still inclined to ( ... )

“It was Ramsay’s idea,” Theon whispers. “To - the two kids, they were the sons of a miller. I don’t know where your brothers are but - it wasn’t them.”

Robb breathes in deeply. He’s tempted to lash out and punch Theon straight in the face, and the gods know it's the least he should do, but he has seen that some of Theon's teeth aren’t where they should be and he just can’t.

“Fine. And why did you go and - fuck, I trusted you!”

Theon visibly flinches, his maimed hand curled against the cloak he’s wearing. “It wasn’t - I tried. My father - he burned your letter. And he didn’t - he didn’t trust me. When I arrived home it wasn’t - no one trusted me. He gave me a choice - it was either you or them. And I couldn’t - they’re… they were my family. I had to prove that I was on their side.”

He raises the good hand to his face and Robb has to look away. He isn’t sure he can take this.

“I thought that taking Winterfell would have been proof enough,” he says under his breath. “I was wrong.”

“Well, you were wrong. And why did you burn it ( ... )

“Well, he’s dead now. But that’s not the point. He - he started calling me like that.” Robb has to move closer to hear what Theon is saying by now. His voice is barely audible. “He wanted me to - he wanted me to answer to that name. Why do you think that he never let me wash? But - he knew it when I did it just because he wanted it. I think - I think he wanted me to really believe it ( ... )

The hostage plan does actually work. Robb is careful to phrase it right. Apparently Theon could invalidate that kingsmoot they held on the Iron Islands, but Robb convinced everyone to keep the entire affair private until the situation there is settled. And he made clear that fine, he’s keeping Theon around as a hostage, but he’s more useful alive than dead. The truth about Bran and Rickon made it easier to swallow, at least, but he can feel that not everyone is happy about this ( ... )

This was perfect. Best Theon/Robb fanfic that I ever read.
I wish everything that you wrote was real, ok?! Let's forget about the RW and, one day, they would actually go back together ;____;
