Svenion chapter 48 . 6/14 incredible story, reading this was one of the better ways to spend a Sunday I've found during the various difficulties currently ongoing. |
Nino chapter 48 . 5/22 Done! And very good one. Instead of mc, Bucky is a vital side character but it doesn't lessening his impact of this story and why this is a crossover one. Nice job mate. |
KingOfWinter chapter 3 . 5/8 “ The kingdoms represented at Riverrun may be relative lightweights individually, especially compared to the riches of the Westerlands and the hordes of the Reach, but collectively they represent just under half of the military strength of the Seven Kingdoms, and some, especially Robert and his new goodbrother Brandon Stark, are of the opinion that it is the better half.” - Hahaha, couldn’t stop laughing at this line. Thanks for the smiles, a really good story and a great chapter. |

Empire74 chapter 48 . 12/14/2019 I can see the echoes of Gettysburg in that last battle. |
Guest chapter 48 . 11/17/2019 Viserys is a mad dog by the time we get around to anything he'll bite someone who will realize what had to be done with him not Ol Yeller's fault he's a monster but there's only one thing to be done about it and that's what it is not being a hero or justice or even vengeance |
Guest chapter 48 . 11/14/2019 Incest more often than not can cause weakness and lack of intelligence but elsewise one's honor, wisdom, kindness and strength has nothing to do with when or whose cock and cunt you slithered out of it's about one's upbringing it's nature and nurture On the battlefield you don't die a bastard or trueborn a commoner a royal or highborn you die because the adversary was stronger or faster or smarter or just luckier Brandon and Wyla my alternative theory It is unwise to judge others by preconceived notions or what they look like We're human We're in this together the world belongs to each and every one of us It's fine to move to your own drum's beat it's all well and good But when land is scarce you have to fall in line think of the greater good Live by the old ways best be prepared to die by them Trouble is coming sooner or later and when it does there will be no begging for help from those you've scorned and turned your back on If it's between being part of something larger than myself and scraping by on my own I say screw tradition You have the courage to do that trade the wilderness of your ancestors for a share in civilization or is your fellow man not worth the effort _ Viserys is a mad dog by the time we get around to anything he'll bite someone who will realize what had to be done with him not Ol Yeller's fault he's a monster but there's only one thing to be done about it and that's what it is not being a hero or justice or even vengeance Tywin is an evil man and a terrible father but he is an excellent ruler Cersei only loves her children as an extension of herself like Catelyn completely incapable of understanding others love their husbands and wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and mothers and fathers as much as she does justice delayed is not justice denied rules for rulers starving disconnected illiterate peasants do not make good revolutionaries During her time as Queen Rhaella's lady-in-waiting, Joanna had befriended the Princess of Dorne, another member of the court. The Dornish Princess had two children, Oberyn and Elia Martell, who were not yet promised in marriage, so the two women planned to have their children be wed to each other. In 273 AC, Joanna died birthing her youngest son, the dwarf Tyrion, while the Martells were on their way to Casterly Rock. Once confronted on the subject, Tywin bluntly refused all the offers (Jaime wed to Elia, Cersei wed to Oberyn, or both), and instead offered newborn Tyrion for Elia, an offer meant to be insulting Everyone but Robert says Rhaegar was something out of a fairy tale kind and wise an incredible warrior and musician The Durrandons were always the greatest warriors in Westeros and Westeros has this idiotic idea that swords are best weapons the end even the Mad King wouldn't harm his own blood that is just how Westeros thinks I think Shadow would be better than Shaggydog Stannis was an old man even as a young boy, possibly autistic he excels at war and law but inept at social interaction maybe childlike in that the law is the law is the law the end The Targaryeans were least among the forty families of dragonlords Archon was the title for times of crisis ruler of nation elected by lord freeholders All free men who owned land had a vote in theory in practice old, rich, and/or powerful sorcerous families and the forty families of dragonlords mightiest among them tended to dominate They allowed freedom of religion as opiate of the masses one day things will get better but didn't believe in any themselves they may have paid lip service however The Valyrians made slaves work themselves to death in countless numbers Not all prophecies are useless, but none are certain, some are just self-fulfilling, and most are vague nonsense. People remember the prophecies that come true, not the ones that don’t Tied to belief I always thought it was because so many royal families were founded by sorcerers, wargs, and etc. Magic always has a price the incest you can only bend nature (even if to pre-industrial peoples is a ruthless, brutal, and cruel b word before modern medicine and transportation harmony with nature is a city dweller concept) in ways it wasn't meant to bend before it breaks akin to pollution and global warming it's your descendants who answer for your crimes, sins, ignorance, arrogance, and/or stupidity George's artistic license with biology, economics, and linguistics As a writer, journalism major, and amateur reader of history, Martin knows basically nothing about even basic economic principles. It shows. Supposedly knowledgeable characters treat Robert and Littlefinger's massive spending as a detriment to a realm, with Ned in particular citing the lack of gold in the royal vaults (as opposed to when Aerys ruled) as evidence of Robert's mismanagement. In real life, loaning and investing money is what a government is supposed to do, and keeping everything locked up is simply wasting it. Robert's investments had a demonstrably great return (Littlefinger increased the crown's incomes ten-fold, King's Landing is more prosperous than ever a mere decade after Tywin brutally sacked it, the Royal Fleet is back to over a hundred war galleys and tens of thousands of men after it got wiped out by a storm a decade earlier and further reduced in the Greyjoy Rebellion, maritime trade is booming to the extent that Stannis can seize hundreds of traders' ships on short notice at the secondary port of Dragonstone), and the debt he accumulated was explicitly not enough that he couldn't easily pay it off (it's stated in the fourth book that payments were still being made on time even in the middle of the brutal continent-wrecking War of the Five Kings), so really, he's the most economically competent king Westeros ever had. Speaking of loans, a debt of 2 million gold dragonsnetover 15 years to the Iron Bank is treated as a significant burden. Not only does this totally ignore the massive positive effects on the crown's credit of making 15 years of consistent payments, it's also not consistent with previous figures given: Robert could afford to casually give away 100,000 gold dragons as a reward for a jousting tournament, yet a mere twenty times that is supposedly a big deal for a continent to pay off. The gold dragon in general arbitrarily changes value depending on the chapter. A mercenary fleet under Sallador Saan (29 ships and thousands of men) costs Stannis 30,000 a month to operate, and yet Anguy the archer manages to spend 20,000 in a couple weeks on whores, booze, a nice pair of boots and a good dagger. Braavos is somehow a significant trade city despite being totally isolated from all known trade routes. Its position on the map roughly parallels that of St. Petersburg, Russia (far in the northeast with the only convenient sea connection being to the North), for a city that's supposed to be in the position of Venice, Italy (which was located at the heart of the Mediterranean and Europe in general). The Twins are supposed to have made the Freys very wealthy, due to giving them the only overland route to the North, ostensibly a major trade node. Ignoring the North's lack of tradeable goods due to its poverty or the fact that it's a thousand miles through taiga and swamp from the Twins until you reach the nearest city, a miniscule amount of trade in the medieval era took place by land (less than 10%), so control over this point should really offer the Freys very little. Tywin Lannister is somehow the richest man in Westeros because he owns many gold mines and has produced vast quantities of gold for literally generations, and yet he has more objective wealth than Mace Tyrell, who controls a population three times as large and produces most of the realm's food, in a world where winters can last for years and where storing vast amounts of food for winter is the difference between life and death. The Lannisters also never seem to suffer the logical consequences of churning out limitless amounts of gold for over a thousand years, which would be hyperinflation and a drop in value of said gold (cf. the result of the Spanish stumbling across an effectively infinite supply of silver in the form of the New World). Slaver's Bay sustains itself by buying slaves, training them, and reselling them. Given that they must pay for at least a decade of the slave's shelter and provisions, this is completely impossible. Particularly for the Unsullied, which are raised from childhood and have an 80% death rate in training. Dull is the blade of the lazy warrior hesitate to call a warrior at all, a blowhard and a braggart perhaps but a warrior I think not I always wanted armies of their chimeras dragon/wyvern/wolf/shadowcat/avian/snakescorpion tails/fauna/crusta/floramen and wood(straw/leather scarecrow)/stone(gems)/magma valyrian steel golems with swords tridents and shields electoo finger laserguns that would be better workforce and soldiers Beskha and Amaya |
RWIW chapter 1 . 10/31/2019 Lyanna’s a wretched brat*, but, in fairness, Robert eventually turned abusive. Maybe she just had oddly keen insight into his nature. *assuming she went willingly... I tend to assume a double-subversion where she initially went with Rhaegar in a fit of impulsivity, then found Rhaegar was the Hotel California of men. Nice chapter, anyway. |
Stonerguy420 chapter 1 . 10/25/2019 In no world is the mountain ever a challenge for any supersoldier especially the winter soldier had beat the mountain in at least 2 moves |
Lokken.8 chapter 48 . 10/23/2019 Good work, I had a great time with it! |
TMI Fairy chapter 1 . 9/25/2019 Meh ... Lyanna went willingly is too stupid for words ... |
