I forgot that you had a Patreon. It was great reading the last few chapters of this amazing story. I like how it ended.

Love the updates and extras! Thanks for an amazing ride!

Gladiusx

I have. Ultimately, I believe the heroes of Marvel/Dc to be dreadfully boring characters, so I decided against it. That and the fact that both Marvel and DC are too 'big' for their own good.

Gladiusx

It's just as worse in the steppe horse-riding societies irl. Mongols strapped women after birth back to the saddle with planks if they had to at some point. The mongolian steppe was a harsh place, and gave birth to even harsher people. Khal Drogo's abandonment of Daenerys was meant as a mercy. But as everything else with the Dothraki, their particular brand of mercy is quite unique.

TyrantGod

Have you considered doing a Marvel or DC crossover fic?

That's gotta suck super hard for Dany. Birth Khal Drogo two daughters and he nopes the fuck outta there. Granted, AFIAK, she was 13 when she married and probably 14 when she birthed kids, so a month-long recovery time at that age is not out of the realm of possibility. But medieval shenanigans ensue. But it is understandable from a certain aspect, GoT has always been about the strong ruling the weak, and having a weak wife would invite opportunities for enemy Khals to try and cause problems.

Naruto is a tragedy...I always read it as a fan translation shortly after it was published (started around when they meet the two brothers on the way to Wave). I even started reading fanfiction with Naruto. There are some good old FF, one where Naruto loses a leg and becomes a puppeteer, for example (and leaves Konoha). Good Ende for SD and thank you.

Man, after reading since the almost the beginning, when I first found you on SB, I also have GoT fatigue. I really enjoyed how this was, in the beginning, a very Jon-centric story, as that was what I was looking for at the time. The spread to other PoVs and Jon becoming fairly secondary, really helped the narrative of the story come to fruition. There’s a lot to be said about this fic, but I’ll gather my thoughts later. Long live Garlan! As I’ve said before, I really do believe Garlan was your best written character, with the best storyline. I’m looking forward to your next story, and the next chapter of CoF

Yea I can see that and add to the fact that for a galactica empire the books only really talk about three planets I can see how it would be hard to do a fanfiction about that story.

Gladiusx

Yes, and I quickly decided against it. I don't enjoy Dune as a setting itself. It's pretty... messy, for lack of a better term. You can call it scattered/chaotic, too, I suppose. And it's world-building is quite narrow, if you consider the plot is mostly contained in a single planet considering the galactic empire background.

Bertram K Reese

Great way to end the story I know you said you growing a bit tried of writing things from the GOT universe. Have you ever thought about a Dune fan faction

Rival

Star Wars is good, but yes, I agree that the universe is too big, and a story would have to be a few million words and you would inevitably piss someone off because you didn't do something they would do (granted, that's a risk with every story). But also, it would be interesting to see a High Republic-era fanfic, as I'm not currently aware of very many versus the mind-boggling amount of the Clone Wars era. So at that, you would have a lot of leeway I think, depending on what you want to do with it. PJO and Naruto could be done, but I think it would have to be with OCSI's or a canon divergence/AU tag, as the author's really hamstringed them in my opinion. Or, you could do all the rage of the celestial forge or gamer fics around. Maybe a isekai into a specific setting?

Gladiusx

No Joy in Command won't be a long story. I have entrained dabbling in Star Wars (too much lore-setting a bit too big and disjointed for my taste), PJO (tricky because the world building is the opposite, canon is too narrow, event wise), and Naruto (I actually dislike almost every character here, and the world building had all the reasons to be cool and gritty, but the author who did a very good Wave Arc was browbeaten by his publisher to write a full kiddie story rife with pacifism).

Eric Lachance

It's amusing how the throne ends up in a Lannister, Baratheon, Stark and Targaryan line, with some wildling thrown in (blood-wise).

Rival

Thanks for the chapter. One of the best GoT fics out there. I'd say maybe do some small, sub-50k stories or 1-shots to keep those creative juices flowing until you want to undertake a longer story. What other story universes have you wanted to play in?

Gladiusx

the Others are done, and Dany is alive and mostly irrelevant.

Garri Sarkisov

Masterfully done on the story. It would be great to see few more epilogues of other characters like Dany, remains of Tyrell’s and Jon’s family.

TyrantGod

So is Dany alive at the end of the story? Are the WW permanently gone?

Echo Watkins

Oh my goodness! I'm so sad its over, but I am also glad it came to a good ending. Massive well done

marten

Incredible work! I thought the final chapters before the large timeskip were the best I have read in GoT fanfiction. And it was of a time that GRRM himself still hasn't been able to write about. The ending felt a bit rushed to me, but still very satisfying. You and AnimaniacDude are my favorites in GoT.

Jacob Hall

11 fucking kids god damn Jon and Val. Did Jon name one of his sons Rob like he wanted to in Canon? Also I love the ending although I'm slightly sad to see this story done. I've been following since chapter 13. Great story and I can't wait for the next.

Perraup

You did a fantastic job with this, your edit of chapter 95, and the entire story. Can't wait for the next one.

Rhaegar's brilliant 8th dimensional underwater chess move of a master plan comes to fruition at the end: his silver haired Valyrian-named grandson is King. 😂
