    “Yes, Mama!” he calls back. Little Sam, now a strapping man grown, opens the door of an office. An old man is hunched over a desk strewn with papers, books, and scrolls.
    “Almost done, Dad?”
    The man sets down his quill and closes the thick volume he was writing.
    An elderly Samwell Tarly, played by George R. R. Martin, turns and smiles directly at the camera. “You never thought I’d get there. But it’s finally finished.”

      Well, it adds to the sad irony of Tywin's all-consuming desire for legacy & position; in the books, Jaime's conversation with GhostMom when he's tripping, as a result of his injury, I think (it's been a hot minute since I read them) kind of feels like it would naturally be pulled in that direction - she says what Tywin's always wanted (since the days when their family was thought weak, under his father):
      For his house to be powerful & feared, for Jaime to be a great knight, & for Cersei to be queen- Jaime says all of that has happened, but Joanna just gives this heart-breaking smile; she knows that _despite_ getting what they wanted, they are essentially ruined, because of everything that's happened to achieve all of it - House Lannister *is* powerful & feared, *_but_* also hated & despised: despite Tywin's work to distance himself from Elia & the kids' deaths & blame it all on Lorch & the Mountain - despite distancing himself from the Red Wedding, letting the Freys & Boltons take the dubious 'honour' - no one's fooled: neither the individuals, nor the houses' lords would have taken those actions without his say-so.
      Jaime technically _is_ a great knight, but not only is he bound to the Kingsguard (like the Nights' Watch, no wife- no kids)- he *also* has the disgrace of kingslaying attached to him. Even his greatest act (saving Kingslanding) is tainted by what he had to do, in order to do it- & no one knows.
      Cersei's queen, but she's quite possibly the worst personality to have any kind of power; reckless & biased in the extreme- favouring a psychotic-in-the-making that she had next-to-no control over (in the books, he died pretty young- though he still did incalculable damage, & she still thinks him faultless- unlike ShowCersei, which kind of undermines her failings as a mother, imo - ShowJoffrey felt to me more like a projection of BookJoffrey; what he _might_ have become if he lived a bit longer)- & neglecting & then manipulating a sweet-natured boy, when _he_ came into power- to preserve her own authority for a bit longer. Gods alone knows how she managed to avoid tainting Tommen & Myrcella.
      Cersei's a jealous*, arrogant, power-hungry fool who's so greedy & reckless that she will treat subordinates like crap, & allies like threats (even family- see: Kevan Lannister)- she only wants people who will do what she says, rather than what is best- & endorse her point of view, being completely oblivious to the fact that she's alienating the few supporters she has left. If they question her, or fail her (regardless of whether an action was her idea or not)- then they're nothing to her, & she won't hesitate to throw them under the proverbial bus, to buy herself good will, or a bit more time - she's so short-sighted that she will take instant gratification/ a perceived immediate 'win', over a bit of hard work & compromise- despite the fact that she's opening herself up to much larger problems...
      Tyrion being Tywin's only legitimate child makes his treatment of him (& his ultimate fate at Tyrion's hands) all the more ironic.
      *I genuinely believe accidentally, or deliberately- BookCersei will be responsible for Myrcella's death (as part of her paranoia regarding the 'younger queen' part of the _valonqaar_ prophecy)

    The only major thing I disagree with is Tyrion is a secret Targaryen, not because it cheapens how special Jon is, but because a) it makes zero sense timeline wise for Joanna to have been impregnated by a Targaryen. But more importantly it cheapens Tyrions story line. His father hates him, is disgusted by him, and the irony of it all is that Tyrion was the most like him, and if Tyrion wasn’t a dwarf he would have been a perfect heir to Tywin. Tyrion being a secret Targaryen vindicates his father in treating him like a monster because then he was right, then Tyrion really wasn’t his son. So personally I prefer making Jon a bit op in this case.

    • @ladylynx9657

      Further, I think Tywin was disgusted by Tyrion even more BECAUSE he was the perfect heir - except for his being a dwarf. If had been bodily like Jamie I think Tywin would have praised his wife for her sacrifice in giving him the perfect son rather than blaming Tywin for her death.

      I think its *much* more meaningful to have Dany allied with two dragons, all the power in her hands,--- and still choosing to walk away. THAT is acceptable. The Tyrion theory does not have a lot of water when you hold the timeline like you said. Its just a reason for Tywin to hate Tyrion, and to add spicy rumors to their family.

    • @jpdipity.

      Actually the timeline for Tyrion to be Targaryen is spot-on. Joanna was at KL in 272 at a Tourney - Tyrion born 273 -we don't have months, but it could easily be 9 months apart. Further, something happened that made Tywin so angry that he tried to resign as Hand, but Aerys refused. I absolutely understand the statement that it cheapens Tyrion's story - I don't necessarily agree, but I get the sentiment. I think it just changes his story personally.

    In contrast to how sad and betrayed I felt by D&D’s endings of just about every character, your positive and hopeful ending actually really worked for me! And Thank you for writing to Dany’s character in the same way I perceived her in the books. And for making Jon a character again at all, let alone one that rivals Cregan Stark! But by far my favorite thing you added was how Petyr won AND lost the game, also gave Varys the perfect end too.
    I really love the magical elements of these books the most, like the wargs, the direwolves, Azor Ahai, Euron, and the special bond Dany has with her Dragons. I realize you wrote this as an ending to the tv adaptation and not the books here, so omitting a lot of that stuff (namely Euron) definitely makes sense! I could nitpick of course, there were some continuity errors with some established magic/the faceless men etc. but honestly there were so many good pay offs for me that I just feel satisfied overall.

The dynamic between Jon and Danny seems more organic than it did in the show. I both love and hate the idea of Tyrion losing his tongue though. Littlefinger actually getting all the way to the tippy top of the game of thrones only to be hit with his own hubris would've been much more satisfying then whatever dumbshit they pulled with him in Winterfell.

Even when I was expecting it and have known about it, the way you unfolded the events held so much tension and uncertainty. The same thing goes with "chaos is a ladder" and Varys' and Littlefinger's fate. It is so perfect.
    As an aspiring writer, this is some of the best re-writes I've seen, and my only complaint is that I will never see this happen on screen.

    Even just 20 minutes in, and this is such a brilliant rewrite. Writing Jon as an actual character with a brain and the will to play the Game of Thrones for once is something that should've been a no-brainer.

      @polar9836 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree with you, Dani was definetly going on the wrong side on several moment before season 6 and could be quite cruel and evil. And the plot was always reminding us that through "she's the daughter of the mad king blabla", but that's what I didn't like in the end of season 8. Her going "crazy" is too fast and weird. Like, I get that she burns armies to the ground bc she's always doing that as she sees them as oppressors, but I don't understand the burning of Kings landing part. She never burnt citizens before, and now she's burning an entire city? I don't know, it doesn't seem logical. But to me the worst part is her killed by her lover, too much of a Greek tragedy to me. I would have like an ending were she realizes she's actually going mad and a dragon is far too dangerous, and decides either to kill herself, either to go back on the other continent to never be seen again 🤔

    One thing about Aryas story:
    It relies heavily on her changing faces to people who are alive, but that's not how the magic of the Faceless Men has been shown.
    They cut the faces of the dead, and magically wear them as masks.
    It's not a huge leap, though, and would still fit with her story.

      can (within the lore in the tv show) certainly play it like that's more of a limitation placed by the oaths/norms of the faceless men and their training, rather than a true law of the ability itself. By leaving and abandoning her morals as well as her oaths, Arya uses this power in a way that makes her incredibly strong and unrestrained, but eats away at her sense of self, stability, morality, and seduces her further from these things.
