    Royal Flush by astolat
    16/16 chapters
    Early in the War of Five Kings, Robb makes a brilliant play and leaves the Lannisters in a very unexpected position. Politics makes strange bedfellows.


    This one was a real rollercoaster. There's a reason it's currently untagged.

    Well now I have to read it before the tags get added

    I'm gonna put my bets on
    The title being "royal flush" and the "strange bedfellows" part of the new description being deliberately punny, and some unexpected romantic play being involved.

    Good stuff, thanks for the rec. The eventual tags will be interesting XD

    ...Wow, hey, chapter 1 is already several surprises, and there's another 15 to go with that tag?

    Did I say *some* romantic play? Some?

    I'm starting to realize that the "royal flush" title meant ALL the major players are going to get paired off with about the best options for them at this canon point, and there's gonna be a LOT of fucking. Strange bedfellows indeed.

    Roller.coaster.

    Mind that explicit tag, and wow, yeah, I didn't see most of those twists coming!

    Olenna is my favorite terribly effective schemer, the hints of how much of everything she arranged...

    I don't ASOIAF, but if it's astolat AND the scheming is good...

    Running in the Shadows

    One of the better MCU/DC fusions I’ve read to date. Initially something I skipped over, because “What if (character) was actually (other character’s) real dad!!?!?!” has never really been my thing, and also, fuck Tony Stark, but I ended up liking where they went with it. Managed to blend the universes convincingly and without much jarring tonal mismatch.

    (Bat-centric, Tim Drake being the one with the unfortunate biological parent. Manages to balance out “Yes, Tony Stark is a charming, likable character with sympathetic motivations” nicely with, “but also, fuck that guy.”)

    Deresto Foolish Mortal

    Major spoilers for the second story in the series, "out of the valley of shadows", I'm mid chapter 6 and

    Palatine's death was so anticlimactic that I flipped round from incredulous into utter delight. That wrinkly fuck had no grand battle or daring escape to plot further, he just got shanked in an alleyway and it's so satisfying tbh

    Edit: but yeah seconding rec, it's fun!

    Edit edit: I meant chapter 5
