The concept kinda reminds me of the start of Braveheart where William Wallace's wife is raped by the English Lord which triggers the uprising. I'm kind of fascinated by the Brotherhood Without Banners and the Kingswood Brotherhood, both of which seem Robin Hood-esque rebellions as opposed to the short bloody existence of peasant revolts in real life but could be central to such a story.

 

Lance Rayder sounds rad as fuck. I would follow into battle.

 

Damn straight. (Oh auto correct, you magnificent troll.)

 

So what's not shit? I read backwards to page 80 something and everyone seems to think stuff since late 2015 is pretty mediocre. I read the black prince and one of cx's favorited story which was kinda bearable but probably bad if im being honest.

 

The Difference One Man Can Make? Yeah, it's pretty bad.

 

I found a pretty decent HP/ASOIAF crossover a while ago that still updates once in a while.

The Black Prince https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11098283/1/The-Black-Prince

Harry is reborn as Harrold Baratheon, Robert's son. He remembers being Harry though and can still use magic.

 

10/10 find bro.

 

I've never read it. Is it any good?

 

Dont bother. The story is terrible and the author is a shit.

 

Author's a hack.

 

Has anyone found a fic where people explore the ruins of Valyria? And perhaps even Daenerys starts restoring the Old Valyrian Empire?

 

A fic exploring the ruins of Valyria?

That'd be a short one.

"There they went and there they died, bleeding from their eyes and ears and coughing blood. The end."

Swap out bleeding for however it is one dies when exposed to toxic volcanic fumes and copious amounts of sulfur.

 

You're like the human equivalent of "Rocks fall, everyone dies."

Where's your sense of adventure?

Besides, the worst you're exposed to even with continuous eruptions is water vapor.

"Water vapor is the most common gas released by volcanoes, causes few problems. Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen are released in smaller amounts. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen fluoride are also released but typically less than 1 percent by volume.Gases pose the greatest hazard close to the vent where concentrations are greatest. Away from the vent the gases quickly become diluted by air. For most people even a brief visit to a vent is not a health hazard. However, it can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems." -source-

The more you know. I too, would love a Valyrian ruin exploration fic.

 

Mostly because GRRM made it a point for rocks to fall and kill everyone who tried to go there: Aurion, the major Volantene expedition, Tommen, Gerion, etc.


Still, if you're playing up the available magic from the start it could work and be cool.

 

In the Drakensis SI Tyrion and Gerion actually do visit Valyria, and in facg come back alive.

 

Yeah, that SI fic is not particularly good and they only came back alive because the Robert SI invented some kind of medieval equivalent of hazmat suits and gas-masks and gave them to the two.

 

Yeah... That was kinda bad. I'm still following along out of curiosity, but my SOD was broken a long time ago.

 

Well you're in luck. Once ADOTN finishes I've been petitioned to start a quest variant where Jon Stormcrown decides to go to Valyria rather than take up rule in the Riverlands. Goes so far back game-wise it's practically going to be a whole new different quest.

 

Great, can't wait for another waifu war. :facepalm

 

Meh, i honestly can't remember if Mya was dead by then. If not, just....it's going to happen. There's no way it couldn't.
