FIRE AND ICE - ROBB STARK X TARGARYEN OC

kings landing

Tyrion was preparing to leave when he stumbled upon a familiar face.
"What is the seven hells are you doing here. Shouldn't you be rulling the Twins?" The small man asked his former sell sword.

"I was, but your queen though I would be useful here so she had some of her men guard my castle while I keep saving your lannister ass." Ser Bron answered in his usual fashion.

"She is your queen as well now. Looks like you finally got what you wanted. Riches a lordship, that will come when the war is over, and a castle." Tyrion said as h poured a glass of wine to the man, who took the glass and sat in a comfortable chair.

"I told you I pick the winning side." Bron told him to which Tyrion answered. "So you do. And now I must ask you to help me again. I am to go to kings landing and try to speak to Jaime. Now I won't be able to go near him but you can. I need you to arrange for him to come and see me."

"And how are we going to enter kings landing?"

"Ser Davos will smuggle us in. And then I need you to get Jaime because I will be too easily recognised in the Red keep." The Hand explained.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Davos,Bronn and Tyrion were standing on the beach of King's Landing. The older man was currently securing a small row boat while the lannister is looking up towards the city walls. "Last time I was here I shot my father with a crossbow." He says.

"Last time I was here you killed my son with wildfire." Is the reply Set Davos gives him while walking next to Tyrion and staking the boat into the sand.

"There's a path to the left that hugs the cliff. The guards hardly ever patrol it. Too many steps." The onion knight explains as the two younger men begin walking towards the path. Davos follows them and quickly takes the lead. This causes Tyrion to stop and look back towards the unattended boat and ask his travel companion if he won't stay behind.
But Davos only tells him that he has his own business in flea bottom. And so the two men continue on walking the path.
-------------------------------------------------------------

"I should kill you." Jaime said as he looked at Bronn. They were in the dungeons of the keep. The lannister man had seen Bronn walking the Red keep as if it belonged to him.

"How exactly? You only have one hand and I trained you. So unless you got very good with the hand that you have left I suggest you stay put. Plus you don't want to kill the new lord of the Twins." The man spoke in a smug way.

"The Twins?" Jaime asked.

"Aye after I helped the dragon queen defeat your seage in the Riverlands she went to the Twins. Ended House Frey and gave me the castle. But i digress. "

Bronn stops walking and holds his torch out causing Tyrion to step from around a pillar and looks at his brother.

"I'll leave you to it." Bronn turns and walks away leaving Jaime and Tyrion alone.

"I needed to see you and I knew you'd never agree to meet." The younger brother says but Jaime remains silent.

"You fought well. Left the family Home. And put your efforts in the Reach. Sadly for you, lord Tarly is a man of honour. Our father..." Tyrion spoke but was interrupted.

"Don't talk about our father." Jaime spat but Turion was unmoved and added.
"He is still alive. For now. He knew I was innocent. He didn't hate me because of anything I did, he hated me because of what I am. The little monster sent to punish him. Do you think I wanted to be born this way? Did he think I chose..."

"What do you want?" Jaime asked tired.

"Rhaenya will win this war. You're a military man. You must know there is no way around it. She is not her grandfather. She's even willing to suspend hostilities if Cersei agrees to certain terms.

"You want Cersei to bend the knee you can ask her yourself."

" I -- I don't. Rhaenya doesn't. Not right now anyway. She has a more important request."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Davos is Flea Bottom and eventually finds Gendry in a smithy on the Street of Steel. Joking that he thought Gendry might still be rowing by then, Gendry confirms that no one has given him a second glance and realizes that Davos has come to bring him for something important.
Having never been happy with serving the family who murdered his father and tried to kill him, Gendry explains that he's been preparing for such a moment and readily agrees to come with him. When Davos warns it will be dangerous and that he should take one of the swords in the shop, Gendry points out he was never taught to fight properly and is only good with a hammer... retrieving from the back of the shop a war hammer, a maul with a stag's head design on either side of the haft socket.

Later on the shores of Blackwater Bay, Davos and Gendry, having placed his hammer in Davos' boat, prepare to leave but are spotted by a pair of Gold Cloaks. Davos pretends to be a common smuggler and bribes the guards with coin. He strikes up a conversation with the guards and on being asked about his cargo, he shows them he is transporting fermented crab, an aphrodisiac that is popular with the city's brothels. He uncovers the crab while pulling the cloth aside to hide the war hammer and gives each guard a sample. The guards are satisfied, if slightly disgusted, with Davos's explanation and bribe and prepare to depart, but Tyrion and Bronn arrive at that exact moment. Realizing it's too late to turn back and not look suspicious, Tyrion walks past them to the boat while looking downward. However, one of the guards recognizes Tyrion by his scar and asks him to stop. They realize that he is indeed Tyrion Lannister, and immediately see through Davos' deception. With their backs to Gendry and the boat and before they can react, he kills them both by smashing their skulls in with his hammer. Bronn, impressed by the boy's skill asks who he is, only for Davos to say simply. "This is Gendry."
The men grab onto the boat and begin to push it into the water.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Jaime opens the door and step into the queen's room. Cersei is seated near a window speaking to Qyburn.

"That won't be necessary." She says and the man bows his head and walks to leave the room. As he passes by Jaime he addresses him. Before closing the door as he leaves. The two are alone and so Jaime asks. "Why was Qyburn here?"

"He's Hand of the Queen. Why are you here?" She simply replies.

"I met with Tyrion." This information causes Cersei to pause for a moment making Jaime uncomfortable.

"What did our brother have to say?" She finally speaks.

"Rhaenya wants to meet. To discuss an armistice." He tells her but his sister simply asks. "She just won a great victory. Why would she want a truce now?"

"Because an army of dead men is marching on the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion claims he'll have proof." He explains only for Cersei to smirk and look away from Jaime.

"Do you think anything of importance happens in this city without me knowing?" She asks him. This causes Jaime to shake his head, understanding that Cersei knew Bronn was in the Keep this whole time.

"You let it happen. Why?" He questions.

" I've come to believe that accomodation with the Dragon Queen could be in our immediate interest. She has the numbers. If we want to beat her we have to be clever. We have to fight her like father would have. Dead men, dragons and Dragon Queens, whatever stands in our way we will defeat it ourselves for this." She says as she places both their hands on her stomach, indicating that she is pregnant.
