ARYA/GENDRY — les revenants au
He heard Arya’s delicate footfalls as she made her way down the stairs, avoiding the creaking steps that always gave her brothers away. If he weren’t so attuned to her she’d be all but silent.
“Arry, I’m using your mustard.” A floorboard squeaked. Gendry turned, piece of bread half-coated in mustard in one hand and bottle of mustard in the other, and nearly cried out at the sight of the Stark ghost standing in the Stark kitchen.
“Gendry,” the girl breathed.
“Lady Stark.” She took a step back. “Lady Lyanna.”

asoiaf & got characters // pt. XXVI - Daenerys Targaryen (ver. I, ver. II, ver. III, ver. IV, ver. V, ver. VI, ver. VII)
“You are a queen. In Westeros. - It is such a long way. I was tired, Jorah. I was weary of war. I wanted to rest, to laugh, to plant trees and see them grow. I am only a young girl. […] Mother of dragons, Daenerys thought. Mother of monsters. What have I unleashed upon the world? A queen I am, but my throne is made of burned bones, and it rests on quicksand. Without dragons, how could she hope to hold Meereen, much less win back Westeros? I am the blood of the dragon, she thought. If they are monsters, so am I.”

Guys, we still have The Winds of Winter and The Dream of Spring... GRRM can’t fuck up his own work, right? Okay, maybe Dany actually was meant to become mad. In weirdest reality ever, but... BUT! I need a long and in-detail rationalizing and mental analysis.
No way around😑
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, I’m going to start with recently written works currently in progress that I’m obsessed with:
The Thief by sionnach_glic on Ao3This one is written so incredibly well and includes a few different POVs and…just…every 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 couldn’t because I didn’t 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 didn’t get from Season 7 and more in terms of Arya actually being discussed by literally everyone she’s had past interactions with together in a group (sans Jorah and Tormund). It’s just so great and addictive and updated frequently.
Warrior’s Hands by faithisbrokenn on Ao3Another recent one I’m really loving. Warning: there’s 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 I’ll go back in time and list some favorite old classics:
I’ll 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 A’s hand. Absolutely and completely lovely. You won’t stop smiling.
Oblivious by winterwaters on Ao3So as I’ve said before, I’m cautious of most modern AUs, but this one is soooo amazing. You’ll see what I mean when you read it. All the feels! Very true to A and G even though it’s 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 it’s incomplete and hasn’t been updated since 2015. Worst possible case scenario in fan fiction, I know. BUT…if you’re 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 there’s a resurgence of popularity of the story, the author will finish…?
Not Another Coffee Shop AU by the legendary @rabbitbaratheonBecause it really isn’t just another coffee shop AU. For a self-proclaimed wary-reader-of-modern-au, I sure am recommending a lot. While you’re at this story, I’d recommend checking out all of her works!
Like Wenda by our very own darling @furious-winterBecause it’s an all our dreams come true brotherhood AU, and A & G are written SO well. And while you’re there, check out everything else by @furious-winter ! You won’t be disappointed.
If you’re looking for a reunion fic that’s 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 you’re on Ao3 on @jewishstarks ‘s page (belasteals on ao3), read everything. She’s a gendrya fan fiction angel.
In addition, as a Gendrya fan, in case you haven’t already, you should check out @gotpresident ‘s 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 didn’t want to make it too long so basically I’m 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. There’s 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.

“I took off the costume, and it felt like my skin was being peeled away. I was very emotional. It felt like someone was shedding me of something.”
Kit Harington, on his last day of shooting as Jon Snow
It was a sea, Dany thought. Past here, there were no hills, no mountains, no trees nor cities nor roads, only the endless grasses, the tall blades rippling like waves when the winds blew. “It’s so green,” she said.
Anyway can you believe the last two Targaryens were separated into polar continents, exiled, bastardized, nearly assasinated, betrayed, and still they found their way to each other and fell in love without even knowing
