Drabbles: Shivering points of light (Lannister love)

Jul 15, 2011 20:56

Drabbles; Asoiaf; word count: 5x100; five shivering points of light in a history where Joanna didn't die giving birth to Tyrion. No spoilers but several allusions to things being hinted at in the books. Joanna/Tywin & the children.

4 makes my day. Because maybe in this AU, Tyrion doesn't devolve into a horrible emo asshat, and the Lannister family gets a happily ever after not-godawful resolution.

I know, right? Tyrion would be emo anyway over this, mostly likely, but it wouldn't be such a Despair Event Horizon for them. :)

These are all amazing, you have such a grasp of this family. I think I like 2 the best.

Thank you! I so love this family in all its dysfunctional glory. And #2 was my therapy session for the suggestion of Aerys/Joanna that I dislike intensely. :)

*flails wordlessly*

These are utter perfection, especially #5. Because that's what mothers do. Oh. Oh.

Thank you! If Tywin gets all Papa Bear ("They have MY SON") when Jaime is in danger, the least Cersei deserves is a mother like that. ;)

These are wonderful! I love how nuanced all of these are, and the way the AU-ness interplays with known canon, weaving in and out. #4 and #5 are my favorites -- I guess I just admire Joanna's approach to problem-solving :)

Thank you! I'm a fan of Joanna's problem solving, too, it would have spared the realm and the family a lot of drama. :)
