AO3 Femslash Top 100: Round 1

We gonna travel far away…

Jacaerys Velaryon

Imagine this

After Rhaenyra is fed to Sunfyre, she awakens in the past before the Dance, surrounded by her family, who also died and came back like her. After a long, tearful embrace, the Blacks all decide that revenge is pointless and that the iron throne can go fucking rust. Rhaenyra is tired and war-weary and just wants to be with her family. So, Rhaenyra writes a letter to her father relinquishing her right to the Iron Throne, and the Blacks pack their things and fuck off to Essos for a long holiday. Family is all that matters, and damn it, they're going to take advantage of this second chance and heal.

Meanwhile, back in King's Landing, Viserys is utterly heartbroken, and The Greens are triumphant, but certain vital players refuse to accept Rhaenyra's decision. In fact, her choice to give up her rights have the opposite effect, and suddenly half of Westeros, with a few Green members, wants her to come back and be Queen.

- Aegon II weeps when he reads the letter. He's the heir, and now he's trapped with the green manacles around his wrists tightening. So he writes a series of letters to his sister, begging her to change her mind.

- Viserys realizes that it's all his fault that Rhaenyra cast aside her duty. This heartens his health, and suddenly, his eyes are open to the machinations of his Hand, and he begins cleaning house... One Green at a time.

- Rhaenyra is just trying to enjoy her beach vacation and spend time with her family, but ever since she and her family came to Essos, she's been bombarded with letters pleading with her to come back and take her rightful place as Heir. Obviously, these letters are thrown into the fire, but by morning, there are at least a dozen more.

- Lucerys is still scarred by the memories of his death, but what happened above the sea has caused him to develop a deep interest in sailing and learning the ways of water dancing. Maybe being Lord of Driftmark won't be so bad after all.

- Rhaena and Baela are at their peak, living their hot girl summer, and Daemon sets aside his pride to be the father he never was to his precious girls. They tour old burial sites, sup with a Khal, spend hours playing with little Viserys and Aegon III at the beach, and Rhaena's egg hatches! She's ecstatic and takes to the hatchling almost immediately.

-) Jace finally corrects his atrocious posture and takes to learning Vlayrian with little Joffrey. Jace loosens up and finds that very much loves painting, writing poetry, and even sending several scripts to Helaena, who blushes with every poem he sends her. Baela's poems are just as passionate, thus leading to a very, very romantic correspondence between the three of them ;).

- Aemond flies to his half-sister's vacation home, hoping to find out what the Blacks are plotting, only to be shocked at how chill everyone is. Drinking iced wine, swimming at the beach, reading, sunbathing... The Blacks want to relax, damn it!

Aemond: "Nephew, what are you doing?"

Lucerys: "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm sunbathing. Could you move? You're in my light."

- And somewhere in the Red Keep, Alicent is struggling with the realization that Rhanyra has given up her position as the future Queen of Westeros and finally snaps. No, this is not how it ends! She will sail to Essos and convince her former lover friend to return, where she'll be given a high position at court. No, Alicent will not allow Rhaenyra to leave after all that's happened between them! She refuses! - Just everyone pestering Rhaenyra now that she's finally free and trying to live her hot girl summer. They only want her when she's not there, but she's not having it. Sometimes, the best revenge is just living well and eating cake.

he's very excited about his first night as a jack o lantern

Gonna tell my kids this was twilight

Wednesday holds up a bloody denim jacket: Tanaka, taste some of this blood to aid us in identifying the suspect

Yoko: Okay, first, ask me nicer. Second, I don't have to lick it, I can just smell it.

Enid: Wednesday, let me do it. I'm the werewolf.

Yoko: Whats that supposed to mean? You think you can smell blood better than a vampire?

Enid: Bestie, you could be the Queen of the Damned, and I would still sniff it better.

Yoko snatches the jacket out of Wednesday's hands: She didn't ask you, she asked the QUALIFIED blood expert

Enid grabs the sleeve of the jacket: Expert? Ajax gave you cow blood and you didn't even notice!

Yoko: Let go before you vom all over it, light weight

Enid: Don't worry, I'll aim for those Nike knock offs instead

Wednesday watches silently as Enid and Yoko fall to the ground wrestling for the jacket

Divina: Thanks for inviting me, Addams. Wanna Reese's cup?

Yoko: MUTT

Enid: HAG

HOTD-Modern AU

Aegon has been caught trying to buy stuff in his father's computer. The only thing he could come up withas an excuse was that he was trying to download Minecraft to play with Daeron while his little brother is in boarding school.

To make it believable Aegon shows Viserys how to play. His dad is unimpressed until he finds out tou can build stuff.

It is a success and has the unitended consequence of Viserys enjoying the game a bit too much and inviting his best friends to play with him.

Lyonel is retired and has nothing better to do. Otto, although retired, will take any chance to get a bit of his influence back. Rhaenys forced Corlys to go and socialise with people instead of tinkering the whole day with his boat.

Things go out of hand soon. By the time Lyonel voiced the moral quandry of messing with the villagers both Otto and Corlys already had enslaved them, and were breeding them for the best trades. They have monopolized the emeralds, their power is getting to their heads.

Viserys is very damn excited to fight the Ender dragon and would like for his friends to focuss and follow the plan.

Corlys has been exploring the sea and raiding underwater temples.

Otto has built a light tower and is mining his heart away (he sells the diamonds for outrageous trades but it's still better than searching for them yourself).

Lyonel is just happy to keep his animals and build them little houses and penns.

Aegon doesn't know how he ended up having to hang out every Sunday morning with a bunch of sixty year olds, but now he is too invested to back out. (Viserys gives him pocket money afterwards because he forgets Aegon is no longer fifteen so it works out)

Guarantee you that if alicent was a boy otto would arrange a marriage between them and rhaenyra so fkn fast and he wouldve looked like this during the dance of the dragons

Dick becoming Robin at 10 is so interesting because hey, this is pretty much one of the world's youngest athletes who wanted to kill his parent's murderer with his bare hands.

He's also the same person who stays up too late watching cartoons and most likely falls asleep during fights.

The rogue gallery vs Robin but it's Harley carrying a sleeping Boy Wonder to her hyenas to watch over him in a cuddle nest, Ivy making a thorned protection shed around him, and Harvey covering him with his jacket while they wait for batman to come collect his boy

If he's running after Waylon in the sewers and trips, bruising his knees, Waylon will wait out Batman with him while offering him rat stew, " It's good for growth." Dick politely declines but appreciates the sentiment

Selina bribes him with late night milkshakes and sweet delights and takes him to animal shelters. She sends Bruce 10+ pics of Dick cuddling with homeless kittens,

She watches Batman toe the edge of insanity as his ward throws an Olympic tantrum because he was forbidden from adopting 20 cats and holy hell. This crime life is worth it.

Oswald teaches him to pick pocket and also educates him on bird care. Bruce asks him how his first solo mission's going,

" arrest him??"

Dick sends him a snap chat of a bird eating seeds from his hand like, " I can't the little guys are eating"

Mr. Freeze helps Dick with his physics homework while Bruce is quite literally on ice. He gets sick and can't patrol because it'd be irresponsible, but Dick is just having fun with the sirens

" Fun" means tying the Joker up like a pinata and beating the hell out of him while wearing a peach and mint facemask
