Okay, that was a doozy to write, both longer than I thought and shorter than I hoped for. It's a bit raw and unedited cause my editor is asleep, so I'll be posting now since I'm already late. Anyway, lemme know what you think in the comments!Previous chapters can be found in the collection.

Like fresh coffee at 2am on the wall

Having Corlys as the POV was the right move, be interesting to see how he interacts with the other characters, but he's certainly fallen far from what he was. Thanks for the chapter.

I see that Jon has mastered a raven.

Jon not knowing about everyone thinking him Vizzy T's son is going to catch up to him soon.

Constantly using his warg ability to have birds deficate on those he dislikes is petty and childish. And I love it.

At least Jon got his bit of pettiness in at the end lol. Can't wait for him to find out it was his granddaughter who killed Aegon and that Jons whole bid for kingship began because he was protecting his other granddaughter the mixed feelings will be everywhere

InnerDemons

Yay birds! Haha. I wonder what Baela’s reaction to Corlys will be.

Nice chapter. Corlys was a good POV. How many chapters are left before the end?

Juana Orta

Who will he tell about his warg powers?

Jon might only be able to remain polite by virtue of shitting on people who annoy him.

Saltbeak at it again.

I did not realize until this chapter that Jon isn’t aware that everyone thinks he’s Viserys’ bastard and that’s why they easily follow him, but wouldn’t follow the original dragonseeds who tried to claim crowns. I had always assumed he knew about the rumors and could swear he acknowledged them at one point, but I guess I misremembered or confused it for something else. I almost wish Daemon or Rhaenys survived to this moment so they could be all smug and Rhaenys can gloat to Corlys, while Daemon crows about “Viserys’ son”

Corlys was an excellent POV. It makes it easier to see where he’s coming from and, all told, his decision making makes sense in an utterly pragmatic kind of way. Jon’s scene with the Clawmen was very well done. It’s easy to forget the Clawmen are essentially an enclave of Northmen stuck down south. Jon has some major advantages as this chapter demonstrated. He has surprise. He really out to see about taking out Aemond ASAP. Hit him on the ground when he’s separated from his dragon. And being a warg makes the timing much easier. Thanks for writing.

Once this story is done I think it would be cool if you did like a series of short stories taking place in this timeline. Get the perspective of the descendants in each era.

Ryan

I can already tell that this is one I will come back to many times

Bryan

It's so much easier to keep your cool when you can just remind yourself, "I'm literally going to shit on you after this."

Love the part with those of Cracklaw Point, who just about never receive any notice in fanfiction, or even in GRR Martin's epic. Jon " I do know SOMETHING" Stark seems off to a good start with having managed to bind the hardy and loyal people of the point to him, having removed the spy master of the Greens entirely, and forcing a turncoat to turn his cloak again. Next up? Riverlanders and Cregan? Or something else entirely, like removing an opposing dragon from the board? Want more POVs of others meeting with Jon, but also other POVs when they hear what Jon is doing. Looking forward to more. Excellent chapter.

Abhishek Kumar

Have an idea, if Criston Cole is still alive and if we follow show's trajectory then he is sleeping with Alicent. If Jon is able to torture/confess that out of him than he can show Alicent as cuckolding queen and destroy the green's reputatation completely as schemeing fucks who caused dance and move history in his favour. This an be done post victory as a way to make sure further Green support does not come even as a token force. inn OG timeline, Cregan was fighting for Rhaenyra even though she was dead.

Love this. I just don’t understand why Corlys is upset at the thought of either Baela or Rhaena being too Targaryen for Driftmark. If he is that worried, just have one of them wed one of Vaemond’s sons. He will still have his blood in the main line and it’s solidified by one of the girls wedding someone we know for a fact is Velayron instead of the speculation of Lucerys. An easy fix. Anyways, great chapter! I especially love how Clubfoot’s death was reminiscent of Littlefingers. It was sudden and unexpected and he died begging. Just perfect
