Of kings and bastard sons and princesses.

I've just been spoiled by something from Book 3 *weeps*
I'm wrecked but oh well, it's totally my fault for not paying attention to the author's warning. Yep, I'm reading the fanfics now because, a quarter of the way through Book 2 and Jon and Robb still haven't been reunited yet. Haha, so I'm totally slashing those two though in my defense I'm very much into the theory that Jon is actually a Targaryen so no incest there, half or otherwise. More like kissing cousins maybe ( and that is NOT a spoiler, don't worry ) but heh, who am I kidding ♥Jon/Robb♥
Are there any Jon/Robb fanfics must-read out there? I've gone through a few at AO3 but since none of the authors looked familiar to me, it's a bit tedious going through them one by one. I'd love to read one where Robb is the Alexander to Jon's Hephaestion. Eeeee King of the North and his Lord Snow *dies*
I don't mind a Jon/Daenerys either. Lol they haven't even met yet and I'm already pairing those two. Maybe it's because I love Jon Snow very much that the thought of him being the dragon princess's ( queen ) consort give me so much glee. Though how on earth they're going to hook up I have no idea. They do have a Mormont in common though ...
ION, I do hope that what I read about Kit Harrington ( that's my beloved Jon if you don't know it already ) being in the movie Arthur and Lancelot is true. Kit is Arthur and it's said that Gary Oldman will be Merlin. I don't know the actor who'll be playing Lancelot ( Joel Kinnaman ) but omg,Jon Snow Kit Harrington as Arthur!!!!!
And speaking of Arthur, I like the twist that they gave to the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere in the last episode of Merlin. I've been wondering how they were going to do that.

Date: 2011-12-01 02:27 am (UTC)But yeah, I'm ( relatively ) speed-reading now, I want to know what happen next so bad!

Date: 2011-11-30 04:29 pm (UTC)I have a theory that Jon is son of that Targaryen prince (Rhaegar? Daenerys' father) and Eddard's sister (Lysenne?). Common theory but so far not confirmed. So yeah, cousins for sure.
And I'm almost done reading Dance with Dragons. I think the best so far. *grin*
Long time no see, ey? Glad you're into "Thrones" and I LOVE Jon too. My favorite alongside Dany and Tyrion.

Date: 2011-11-30 10:03 pm (UTC)that's my theory too, I am about a third of the way into book 5 and we still dont know so whatever the truth, George is keeping it to himself for now, he needs to write faster lol.

Date: 2011-12-01 02:35 am (UTC)I'n so happy that you're into Thrones, too!! And Tyrion and Dany ( and Robb! ) are my three favourite people other than my sweet Jon who's soon to become Arthur. I adore Arya too, and Eddard omg that was a HEARTBREAK, what happened to him :(

Date: 2011-12-01 03:47 am (UTC)The one that I read was quite good, it's Jon/Robb and it's pretty much what I felt about them.

Date: 2011-12-02 03:43 am (UTC)I was googling around for the cast of season 2 just now and my heart dropped when I saw the name Karl Urban came up but apparently that was just a rumour :/
But I like it that there'll be Natalie Domer in it. I loved her when she played Anne Boleyn in The Tudors.

Date: 2011-12-02 04:22 am (UTC)BTW, my counselor was just telling me the other day, she thinks I spend too much time relating to fictional characters, and maybe I should try to just read or watch things for entertainment, without getting so emotionally involved. I am shocked and appalled at such a notion, I don't know where she gets that idea. What is this "entertainment" thing she's talking about?
Besides, sometimes I get overly invested in real people, too, just not necessarily people I actually know, LOL!

Date: 2011-12-02 02:19 pm (UTC)Keep in mind that even if you read slowly, you're likely to read Dances with Dragons long before the next book is finished, let alone published. I believe Martin isn't even going to start working on it till January.

Date: 2011-12-02 03:58 am (UTC)When you've finished the books, I'd love to discuss the series with you in more detail, but I'm afraid if I go into too much now I'll give away an accidental spoiler. There are still two books to go in the series, and I really want to know how some storylines pan out.
So many times it seems to come down to a question of revenge or mercy, and sometimes they both seem to be the wrong answer. We've seen that a few times on Supernatural, haven't we?

Date: 2011-12-02 04:10 am (UTC)I keep thinking I should go downstairs to watch the X Factor, which started about 10 minutes ago, but I already deliberately spoiled myself as to which two got sent home, and I am mightily pissed off regarding one, and happy about the other. I think I'll be better off to just watch it when I'm less annoyed, since my DVR is watching it for me. I can fast-forward through all the boring stuff that pads out the hour, and watch the relevant 10 minutes or so.
