For Squires only!

First, I must apologise for the delay. I'm mostly better, and the chapter took longer than I hoped (and writing a new PoV for the first time is always more challenging).

Second, as I said, the title in the poll (Ballad of Snow and Fire) was a pending/placeholder, so it has been changed. For those unaware, the story won by one vote. The poll stayed up for a whole week. For the unhappy with the results... I can only point you to the troll voters or the... 400+-ish patrons who were too lazy to give a vote.

This is going to be quite a dark/grim story, as I mentioned in the og preview. I'll bravely dive into the more eldritch elements of ASOIAF. The change I considered on Discord and in the Patreon chat about Rhaella only 'seeing' the future instead of living it has been implemented. This is also probably my last Jon Snow-centric/relevant fic for a while, and this will probably be my goal to aim for the closest to ADWD! Jon Snow from the books, freshly raw from betrayal.

Anyway, I suggest you give it a chance. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Glad this story won. I’m mostly here for the scenes of Aerys and his dipshit parents losing it over Rhaella having a modicum of agency in her life and the whole prophesy thing “falling apart”. Should be fun.

Haruto

Really happy this story was chosen

Rogue Jon ( when he finds Dark Sister beyond the wall)

Kai

Great start as always. Excited for the next one

Brewt

Thanks and good to hear you're feeling better. I actually liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Certainly an interesting start.

I didn't vote for this one, and damn do I regret that. This chapter was an absolute hell of a hook. Great work!

I enjoyed the intro chapter of Broken Dreams. It was very well done and evocative. The ‘old gods’ taking Rhaella’s blood and her dragon egg was a nice touch. It seemed a fitting price to pay for what she was asking for. I enjoyed Rhaella’s POV. Thinking about it, with it twice being repeated in the opening chapter, Shifting Destiney seems like a good title. Mea Culpa.

I’m glad this one won. It was the more interesting sounding one

Thank you, and I am not the biggest Targaryen fan. I was far more Starks, Durrundon, and Baratheon—the North and Stormlands in general. However, I do like a particular Targaryen, such as Maegor the Cruel, Aemon the Dragonknight, King Maekar, Aegon the Unlikely, Maester Aemon, and Rhaella. So I am very interested in seeing Rhaella in this story. I just want to know if Jon kills the Heart of Winter, will he gain the power of winter? Please let something like that happen. Great job, and I am very interested in seeing where this story goes, especially after No Joy in Command was such a great work. I am curious to see if Jon will somehow gain an Ice Dragon from this advantage. Fantastic job, and you're genuinely a gifted Author and wordsmith. I'm eager to see what happens next. I do hope you start feeling better too.

I will say this you are a fantastic writer. I was not wanting to read this story but I decided to give it a chance. I am looking forward to next week's chapter.

Patrick Perrault

Whoa, this is great. Looking forward to the next one.

David

Well the results of Jon and Rhaella getting together can’t be argued by her family if Jon somehow hatches the dragon eggs in the future. If that happens in the story anyways. Can’t wait to see more!

StarBat

Oh. A bloodline struggling till the end. A past connects with an uncertain future. Fire and blood meet shell and scale once again.

John Pinson

Lol. Everyone seems especially focused on Jon hatching an egg. Doesn't seem to be implied so far. I'm sure whatever you come up with will work.

Grateful Bread

Tunnel Jons Rule, Harry Poopers Drool!!!

Luxanna Aeterna

Well, that was one hell of a curse on Rhaella's part.

Birdy810

My vote actually mattered??

Ripe

Now that is how you do a proper curse...
