Summer Crowns' first arc has finished, and if you don't have an AH account it's entirely worth getting one.

 

What the fuck is Summer Crowns and why in the name of Jesus' swollen blue balls didn't you post a link? If it's been linked before, fine, but if not...

Post the goddamn link.

 

Summer Crowns for the curious.

 

One Sentence Summary: Rhaeger escaped to Essos instead of fighting at the Trident, and Robert and Ned go dragon hunting instead of staying in Westeross to pick up the pieces after the war.

 

Summer Crowns is real good. Ned comes off as a little OOC but it doesn't detract from the story. Hope it continues to update at the pace it has been.

 

Wait. Is that the piece of shit that is basically ruined by the author being unable to get Ned out of Westeros without turning Brandon into an unreasonable cunt?

Yes it is. I'll repost what I said then:

The entire premise is based in this interaction and the author couldn't do it any better than the dingleberry they pulled away from their ass.

 

While I'd agree that the interaction wasn't the best, it's simply untrue to say the entire premise is based on that interaction. The premise is that Rhaegar flees to Essos and Robert abdicates to give chase. Ned follows, which is made simpler with Brandon's banishment of him, but is not solely for that. He also wants justice for his sister, it's pretty much the one thing tying him to Robert at the start.

 

I found myself blitzing through a decent time-waster revolving around Robb and Jon going to King's Landing instead of Ned and the girls. After Eddard finds the stones to tell King Robert no to the Hand appointment, Robert suggests (read: demands) that his heir spends two years in the south in order to save face. It's a flimsy premise, and it foreshadows a pretty lazy plot that follows canon contrivances (besides a S7 JonXDany esque speed romance between Robb and Margaery).

However, it made me realize that I've been looking for the Robb/Jon buddy/road trip/war heroes fic unconsciously for quite some time now. Do you guys have any rec's? My tolerance for writing quality is relatively low IF the plot is reasonably coherent.

P.S. The story I'm referring to is The Reach of Wolves. https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11115528/1/

 

I couldn't stand that story. The way the Robb/Margaery scene at Highgarden played out did my head in. All the authorial contrivances just to push a ship. I noped out pretty hard. The worst part was that I was excited to read it based on the novel premise. Just goes to show you execution is everything.

I'm in the same boat though, been wanting a Robb and Jon story. In my head it's ideally a Jon goes south. But I've exhausted all my recc's.

 

Is that the one where the Tyrell kids betray their father? They do that so Rob/Marg can be shipped. It's hard to see any plot in that fic, that is not there to make that pairing happen.

 

Yeah, 'decent' was probably overselling it. Maybe just readable is a more apt description.

 

Oh one of the good old Margery-wank fics. It's weird that so few of them were smut.

 

Are there any fics out there where someone goes balls to the walls against the slave trade?

 

Summer Crowns is heading in that direction.

 

Sell Summer Crowns to me? I don't think I got past the Ned and Brandon interaction.

 

It's generic AH "no conflict, little characterization, just running with events" schlock

 

Sounds riveting.
