@ofvalyriansteel Sent: No, No, No, Dont Die On Me! (for Corlys )

@ofvalyriansteel sent: “No, no, no, don’t die on me!” (for corlys ) 

Send me “No, no, no, don’t die on me!” for a scenario in which my muse dies protecting yours.

He couldn’t lose her. She was the light of his life, the only thing in the world that had left him feeling satisfied, the one that he had never asked for more than. His QUEEN, as the rest of Westeros should have admitted to her being. Seeing the men above, knowing that saying anything would cause them to loose the arrows faster, saying anything about it would cause him to die inside. He should have insisted that she be in the air, that Meleys be there flying in once Seasmoke began his strike began.

His ax falls from his hands as he runs to her. Sand slows his feet, and he has to push past bodies. His own soldiers, members of the Crabfeeder’s men, he doesn’t pay attention to who it is he shoves from his path. All that mattered was Rhaenys.

His Rhaenys, his queen, his wife, his life.

The volley of arrows hit him as he reaches her, pulling her against him so that none of her was exposed. Each strike parted his armor, slowed enough by the steel so that it would not reach her as well. He’s still holding her in his arms as the arrows stop, still holding her as his knees give way and he falls to the ground. He coughs, finding it hard to breathe, a wheezing leaving him tells him that his lungs had been struck in the volley. “Are you alright?” he asks with what little breath is left to him.

"I wanted peace! We all know what war does to the world. It makes refugees!"

@aclashofmuses sent: “No, no, no, don’t die on me!” and asha for theon!! 

Send me “No, no, no, don’t die on me!” for a scenario in which my muse dies protecting yours.    

he held his side, barely able to keep himself upright, though he did not know if it was from his lack of toes ( it had been hard to walk and balance since those had been taken from him ) or from the axe in his side. the axe that would have landed in asha’s back. he hadn’t thought he would be able to move as fast as he had, bound in chains as he was, but he had made it in time. theon, his name was theon, and asha was his sister. asha was the heir their father deserved, asha had to survive this. theon had died ages ago, and he was just a walking corpse of what he once was. for the first time in a very, very long time, he had done something truly right. he smiles as his knees sink into the snow. “ i didn’t mess up this time. “

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ* ARRANGED MARRIAGE SENTENCE STARTERS 2.0

arranged marriage thematic starters, only revamped! change pronouns/adapt as needed!

refusal and disagreements

❝ I would rather die than marry the likes of you. ❞

❝ I will run away! I won’t accept this marriage! ❞

❝ I cannot accept this. I will not marry them – my heart belongs to someone else. ❞

❝ Please – please do not make me wed them! ❞

❝ Anyone else would be better! Please, I know you can find me a better match! ❞

❝ Do not touch me! I only married you for duty, stay away from me! ❞

❝ I do not care what you want, we did not marry out of love. ❞

❝ You are mine now. Act properly. ❞

❝ Who you loved before is meaningless. We are married now, and your lover will remain in the past. ❞

❝ I will never love you! ❞

❝ It isn’t fair! I don’t even know them! ❞

❝ You will not give my only child to that monster! ❞

❝ It is a match beneath my daughter. You insult us with the mere proposition of it. ❞

❝ She is a princess. She won’t be wed to someone lesser. ❞

❝ He will marry the one we chose, not that peasant! ❞

❝ You refuse me to give yourself to a peasant?! ❞

❝ The match is already made but I cannot accept it. I love you! ❞

❝ It is you I love! I could not bear to be with them instead. ❞

meetings and beginnings

❝ You are not at all what I imagined. ❞

❝ I know you hold no love for me. How could you when we are practically strangers? And I know we may never come to love each other, but we can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Love can be built, too. And if you’re willing, I would like to try and learn to love you. ❞

❝ The descriptions I heard did not do justice to your beauty. ❞

❝ You are lovely. I am lucky you are to be wed to me. ❞

❝ I must admit I expected far worse from an arranged marriage. ❞

❝ I want to know you better if we are to be wed. Tell me about the things you like. ❞

❝ We are only marrying because I need an heir. What you do and with who beyond that does not matter to me. ❞

❝ I too am in love with someone else, but they will never allow me to marry my beloved. Why don’t we make an agreement? ❞

❝ Am I not what you expected? ❞

❝ You seem disappointed… I may not be as good-looking as you expected, but I shall never treat you unkindly. ❞

❝ This is your home too, now. You are free to go wherever you wish. ❞

❝ How odd we have been betrothed for so long but never saw each other before our wedding day. ❞

❝ I do not care about power and wealth. I want to marry for love. ❞

❝ Even though I have been told this would happen my entire life, I still can’t quite accept it. ❞

discussing the topic

❝ In just a few days I will be wed to someone I never met. ❞

❝ It is so odd to think my entire life will change so fast. A person I don’t even know, and we will be bound for life! ❞

❝ I know they plan to marry me off to someone soon, even if no one said a thing yet. ❞

❝ How could you agree to this without even asking me what I want? ❞

❝ You will do as you’re told and marry them! ❞

❝ We picked the best match available for you. ❞

❝ It is the best we managed. I am sorry you don’t like them, but there was no other way. ❞

❝ You knew this day would come. People like us only marry for duty, dear. ❞

❝ Love is not the priority for the likes of us. ❞

❝ Marrying for love is a delusion. ❞

❝ You are a princess. You will have to agree to a match eventually. ❞

❝ There are so many good proposals! How come no one is to your tastes? ❞

❝ Our bloodline must continue, and for that, you need to marry and have heirs. ❞

❝ I do not wish to leave home. My betrothed lives in such a different place… ❞

❝ I will never let them ship you off to a stranger. ❞

❝ You will not be sold for power like I was. ❞

❝ I won’t let them trade you for their alliance! ❞

❝ The arrangement was made when you were both still children. It is much too late to go back on it. ❞

❝ We have been promised to each other for years, and yet we have never met. ❞

❝ They are deciding your life for you! How can you simply accept it?! ❞

❝ There is no reason to make a fuss. I have known for years someday I would be married to some stranger my family found suitable. ❞

❝ Through them, we shall finally join our bloodlines! ❞

❝ Our children make quite the pair. I am glad they seem to get along so easily. ❞

❝ Only kings would be worthy of you. We will accept no less on your behalf. ❞

❝ A complete stranger is suddenly mine. And then, I am hers, too – I must offer her my all. ❞

❝ What do you think your betrothed will be like? ❞

love, duty, ambition and alliances

❝ Don’t pretend to care. The only reason you agreed to this is because of my title. ❞

❝ You married me for my claim, I know that! I just thought, given time, we could grow to be fond of each other. ❞

❝ I shall marry you only because I must. ❞

❝ Ours is a union of duty. You would do well to remember that. ❞

❝ Every good child knows: duty before your heart’s desire. ❞

❝ Remember what is at stake. Peace relies on our union. ❞

❝ Even if we married for duty, our union can still become one of true love. ❞

❝ A marriage is a marriage – love or arranged. Both require the same level of commitment. ❞

❝ Both our lands benefit from our match – and I know will be a good queen. ❞

❝ My people will love you in time. I think I might, too. ❞

❝ We were wed for an alliance, but this doesn’t need to be terrible. We can at least be friends. ❞

❝ Duty brought us together, but it is love that will make this bearable. ❞

❝ My father used to say the strongest loves are built by choice, not by chance. ❞

❝ Do you believe in love at first sight? I think I’m already in love with you. ❞

❝ Even if you love me, your people never will. ❞

❝ I married you for your title. I do not care for love. ❞

❝ My heart is yours, but we cannot be together. My family would never agree to a match like this. ❞

❝ Marrying them will give the realm peace. I have to agree to the match, even if you are the one I truly love. ❞

❝ It seems silly to think a single union will end decades of conflict. This is just the start. ❞

❝ They found me someone rich to marry! I will finally have everything I wanted. ❞

❝ I do not care my betrothed is not handsome – I only care that he is rich. ❞

❝ You will learn to love. You have to be determined to grow a love that will sustain your marriage for a lifetime.  ❞
