One does not simply write ~thematically satisfying~ eighth grade book reports.
Once upon a time, there was a group of friends who loved ASOIAF. Then Game of Thrones happened. We started writing, picked up some fellow fandomentals from across all spectrums of fanthings, and never looked back.
Please wait while salt is gathered…
