Jonerys Week day 03: Dragon Queen & White Wolf or Angst or Smut
Brilliantđđ
There is something about the two of them together, like their souls understand one another better than anyone ever has before.
Itâs almost like they were fated.
Itâs almost like theyâve done this before.
Happy Christmas to @ktwrites, my Jonerys Secret Santa!
When Daenerys learned she was with child, she told no one. There was no doubt in her mind that it would end in her own blood and tears. Better not to raise any hopes. Still, as the war against the Others waged on, the babe quickened within her. By the time the old enemy was defeated and the last snows melted, there was no concealing her swelling belly. Rhaellaâs birth in the spring was seen as a fresh beginning for Westeros.
â âThere are a hundred kinds of grass out there, grasses as yellow as lemon and as dark as indigo, blue grasses and orange grasses and grasses like rainbows. Down in the Shadow Lands beyond Asshai, they say there are oceans of ghost grass, taller than a man on horseback with stalks as pale as milkglass. It murders all other grass and glows in the dark with the spirits of the damned. The Dothraki claim that someday ghost grass will cover the entire world, and then all life will end.â
That thought gave Dany the shivers. âI donât want to talk about that now,â she said. âItâs so beautiful here, I donât want to think about everything dying.â
hey I was wondering if you had any good gendrya fic recommendations, I'm in need of some. please & thank you
Thanks so much for the ask and sorry for taking so long! Especially since I promised to make another AxG fic recommendation list not that long ago. If you want to see my first list before going through this one, you can find it here.
So, for this list, Iâm going to start with recently written works currently in progress that Iâm obsessed with:
The Thief by sionnach_glic on Ao3This one is written so incredibly well and includes a few different POVs andâŚjustâŚevery single interaction between Arya and Gendry is SO amazing. It was one of those fics that I wanted to read all in one sitting but couldnât because I didnât want to get to the end and have to wait for another chapter.
The Million and One Ways Arya Could (Should) Have Been Mentioned by SecondFromTheRight on Ao3Completely and totally obsessed with this one since it gives us everything we didnât get from Season 7 and more in terms of Arya actually being discussed by literally everyone sheâs had past interactions with together in a group (sans Jorah and Tormund). Itâs just so great and addictive and updated frequently.
Warriorâs Hands by faithisbrokenn on Ao3Another recent one Iâm really loving. Warning: thereâs smut in Chapter 1. Haha or newsflash, not warning, lmao. I just love the way that Arya and Gendry are written; their dialogue is spot on. And gendrya + reunion + kissing + more = everything.
Now Iâll go back in time and list some favorite old classics:
Iâll Run (Run To You) by my absolute love @jewishstarksAn old old favorite. An actual masterpiece. One of those G has to compete among others for Aâs hand. Absolutely and completely lovely. You wonât stop smiling.
Oblivious by winterwaters on Ao3So as Iâve said before, Iâm cautious of most modern AUs, but this one is soooo amazing. Youâll see what I mean when you read it. All the feels! Very true to A and G even though itâs modern.
that Stark girl by xxxidrilxxx on fanfiction.netAhhhhh I have been looking for this story since I first read it like a year and a half ago. So bad news is itâs incomplete and hasnât been updated since 2015. Worst possible case scenario in fan fiction, I know. BUTâŚif youâre willing to suffer that most awful of fates, this is an awesome modern au of the whole story, mainly focused on A & G on the run. Maybe if thereâs a resurgence of popularity of the story, the author will finishâŚ?
Not Another Coffee Shop AU by the legendary @rabbitbaratheonBecause it really isnât just another coffee shop AU. For a self-proclaimed wary-reader-of-modern-au, I sure am recommending a lot. While youâre at this story, Iâd recommend checking out all of her works!
Like Wenda by our very own darling @furious-winterBecause itâs an all our dreams come true brotherhood AU, and A & G are written SO well. And while youâre there, check out everything else by @furious-winter ! You wonât be disappointed.
If youâre looking for a reunion fic thatâs tiny but huge with feelings try:No One and Someone by AmberMagic on fanfiction.netORLead Me Back To You also by the darlingest darling @jewishstarksBasically while youâre on Ao3 on @jewishstarks âs page (belasteals on ao3), read everything. Sheâs a gendrya fan fiction angel.
In addition, as a Gendrya fan, in case you havenât already, you should check out @gotpresident âs AMAZING gendrya comics found here, here, here and here and follow her for updates!
Ok so I wanted to make this longer but I also didnât want to make it too long so basically Iâm going to compromise by waiting awhile before making another one of these, and in the meantime, go back and find all the other really good fics I was dumb enough not to bookmark. Thereâs so many and it feels so unfair to have put two of these out without even coming close to honoring all the incredible gendrya works out there.
Jon & Daenerys
I donât even watch Game of Thrones, but these two are just too pretty not to draw.

Donât crop/edit/tweet and please reblog, donât repost. Thank you!
