I'm extremely excited about this chapter. It's been a while since I felt fully happy with all I wrote-one of the scenes here was one of the things I envisioned from the very inception of the No Joy. Also, I added some extra non-Dragonstone PoVs for those of you who wanted to see how things ripple out and they turned to my liking. Do let me know what you think.

Also, you can read the previous chapters in the collection.

Why do the animals keep dying? 😭

Damm I'm actually sad at grey ghosts loss

Patrick Perrault

Your best chapter so far! Jon's pissed and he's about to do something stupidly bold. Can't wait for the next one.

You know, pissing yourself when confronting a dragon is the only sane response someone can have, respect to the ser

So she's gonna wind up with Silverwing. Sad about Ghost, but fitting that she'll be partnered with Verminthors mate.

Ohhh someone is in trouble. Also, this looks like a mistake “ especially after the death of his half-brother to Aemond in the skies above Shipbreaker Bay.”. Luke was Jace’s full brother, not half.

Jon has come to find Rhaena beautiful inside and out, he’s cooked. Rhaena saw Jon consider her actions, listen to her words, and change his behavior, plus he’s hot, so she’s also cooked. Glad to see him get his motivation back. I’ve never seen or heard the Starfish story before, but I greatly enjoyed it. You do what you can is such a simple and great message, one the Jon knew and was even acting on still, but hadn’t applied to the wider situation. I wonder if Daemon will be coming around to thank him for saving his daughter, again. Broome being Jon’s sworn man is hype.

Yup, was expecting the young drake's death as was reading it. Let's see how exciting the Cannibal fight is gonna be. Btw, the starfish part was nicely done.

Based_Bass

Fuck that dragon. All my homies hate Cannibal.

Trevor macDonald

had a feeling grey ghost wasn't going to be around too long. it made too much sense for Rhaena to claim Silverwing. great chapter though, probably my favourite so far. I enjoyed the non-dragonstone POVs. Jace does seem like the best option, and I always love some Cregan Stark. completely forgot that Aegon and Aemond would view Jon as their bastard brother after the theories were made after the trial.

RIP Shelly. Not surprised Grey Ghost got fridged, Vermithor is our bronze Romeo so he comes as a package deal who’s mate is unattached so Rhaena’s about to get an upgrade for her dragon insurance. Jonno’s got his motivation back and now he’s fuckin’ pissed! I wonder if dangling Cannibal over the water will be how our humble fisherman achieves his greatest catch yet by reeling in a kraken?

Jon's taking another step in breaking his oath of neutrality as a Witcher........er, lethal but apathetic time traveling fisherman. Is this the tentative beginning of a black sub-faction or even a potential full-blown 3rd faction? Those who have had it with Aegon and Rhaenyra's bullshit, unite!

Brewt

Was a good chapter, the transition of Jon towards being more active was well done.

LordApathy

It sucks Grey Ghost died like that. I liked the stubborn thing. I wonder if Rheana is going to question why Vermithor came to the rescue. Hopefully she can put the peices together and go and get Silverwing soon. Her and Jon in the battle of the gullet might just be the change the blacks need to win the war. Or if he and daemon ambush Vhegar then I'm pretty sure they could win. I wonder how The Targaryens are going to feel if/when they find out Jon could have joined the war at any time. Is Jon about to earn a nickname for slaying the cannibal? Kill a dragon with skyfall.

VishihaHitachi

Yeah Jon just got his own Alfred alright After Grey Ghost he might goes Bronze Fury on Cannibal

Cristi R

Hell yeah !! Great chapter. Probably the best so far. Poor Cannibal. He really, really pissed off the biggest baddest wolf around and very soon he is going to regret it. He will feel what it means to be prey instead of hunter. I want him to feel afraid before the end comes. While right now Rhaena is obviously in shock, she did see the Bronze Fury trying to help. Given her poor attempt at bonding with him, he sure as hell didn't came for her. The timing is also suspicious when you think about it logically. She must have heard the rumour about him being half Targaryen. Thus, considering she is a smart cookie, there is a decent chance she will begin to suspect that Jon has bonded with a dragon. Furthermore, Silverwing looks right now to be her best option and if Jon can separate her from Vermithor then she has might be able to bond. I know what you said about fewer POVs. However, you are not GRRM and you don't need a full chapter for that POV. Cregan's actions are reasonable, however I do have to wonder if Jace spending 3 months in Winterfell is cannon, but it seems a bit odd unless it is a side plot, he is the Heir, there is a war going on, spending that much time in the most remote relevant location doesn't seem wise. Also, as I said in my comment for the last chapter or on Discord, a decent strategist will not completely ignore Jon Stark, he is just a pawn on the chessboard for now as far as everyone knows, but he is on the chessboard ... good to see that confirmed. The kiss between Jon and Rhaena was really well done. As was the starfish story vowen in, however I thought of it as soon as I red the chapter's title. I would suggest you change it, imho is a bit too much of a hint.

InnerDemons

That was awesome. I wonder if Jon will link up with the graybeards in the riverlands.

Eric Lachance

I had wondered what Jon's entry point in the story was. I'm happy to see him shed his gloom.

Maniac000

If Jon kills The Cannibal he’ll be mentioned talked about alongside Serwyn the Mirror Shield by the small folk. The Targaryen’s might even thank him as it means the smaller dragons no longer will be killed.

This was a brilliant chapter. Jon receiving some clarity and purpose was the big one - both a generalized hope for the future and a present desire for vengeance. Cannibal is cooked. Rhaena feeling a bit helpless is pretty normal. I’ll admit I was a bit distressed with Grey Ghost’s passing. I was beginning to like the cowardly [but sensible] dragon. Cregan’s POV was well done. He reminds me of what I think a Rickard Stark would have been like. Sara and Jace, rumor or reality? Aegon is vying to be among the top 5 worse Targaryen monarchs. Excluding Maegor, as the man did nothing wrong (well, other than torture and murder his nephew, murder his workers, and a few other homicidal acts of insanity). Aegon and Aemond appear to accept the theory that Jon is Viserys’ bastard. Which mean the realm will accept it, as it explains Viserys sudden extreme benevolence prior to death and Jon’s skill set. Poor Jon. I liked Jon and Brooke’s interactions. Jon falling into a protector role for the villagers was a nice touch. He is building an entourage and following without even trying.

Dark-Palace

Cool to see that Cregan asked for more in the negotiations. Man if I were Cregan, I would also say what happened to The King who Knelts Daughter who married the Arryns due to Rhaenys pushing it. Awesome chapter bossman!! Can’t wait for more

TensorOperator

The obvious next step is to jump on Vermithor, go beyond the wall and get a Ghost replacement.

Maniac000

Can’t wait for the day Jon meets Cregan. As a bastard raised by the Starks and who wanted to be one his whole life, I imagine Cregan is the favorite of all members in the Targaryen era.
