The Sun Was Slanting Through The Thick Yellow Windows, And Dust Motes Danced In The Light Like Tiny Golden

The sun was slanting through the thick yellow windows, and dust motes danced in the light like tiny golden insects. Though snow had blanketed the heights of the Giant’s Lance above, below the mountain the autumn lingered and winter wheat was ripening in the fields. Outside the window she could hear the laughter of the washerwomen at the well, the din of steel on steel from the ward where the knights were at their drills. Good sounds. Alayne loved it here. She felt alive again, for the first since her father… since Lord Eddard Stark had died.

every queen of the seven kingdoms: betha blackwood   

“Aegon V had married for love, taking to wife the Lady Betha Blackwood, the spirited (some say willful) daughter of the Lord of Raventree Hall, who became known as Black Betha for her dark eyes and raven hair. When they wed, in 220 AC, the bride was nineteen and Aegon twenty, so far down in the line of succession that the match provoked no opposition. In the years that followed, Black Betha gave Aegon three sons (Duncan, Jaehaerys, and Daeron) and two daughters (Shaera and Rhaelle).” // Nurgül Yeşilçay as Betha Blackwood

Another comm of timeskip Shireen Baratheon and Aegon VI! This time by Bella Bergolts over on Deviantart. Go commission her! I will flood Tumblr with this ship whether it wants it or not.

House Baratheon in 268 a.c. circa. Lord Steffon Baratheon, lord of Storm’s End and Lord Paramount of the Stormsland, his wife Lady Cassana Estermont and their sons, their firstborn heir Robert and the little Stannis

I love this family! I would love to know more about them…

(and yes, i love the idea of Steffon having some charateristic of his mother’s house, like purple-blue eyes and a streak of silver-gold hair)

My secret santa gift for @gaystannis, Jon Connington at Illyrio’s manse meeting Aegon for the first time 💙

Happy holidays!!!
