bonus chapter one ── trivia
Hello, Readers!
I sincerely hope you are all enjoying the story so far. I wanted to share a few fun trivia with you guys based on this fanfiction! And for the sake of avoiding confusion, I had decided to nickname the original Aesarys: Aesa.
I have also updated the current chapters to make sure that I did not sound like a dumbass because I used to write this novel frequently while studying simultaneously. Therefore, I apologize for any spelling errors, grammar mistakes, or any overly redundant explanations or words I have used so far. I have personally gone through the entire novel to rewrite it. Again, I apologize.
Lastly, Thank you so very very very much for reading, and tuning in. I appreciate the likes, votes, and kudos! I also have a great time reading everyone's comments, as they really show me that you guys are loving the story as much as I do! And as for your criticism, I really do listen, and appreciate them since they help me improve the story. Thank you very much!
Now that Act 1 is officially over and we will be moving towards Act 2, I have sad news.
I will be taking a break. A short hiatus. My subjects for the first semester of this year are extremely heavy. Other than that, I have also been given several leadership responsibilities, therefore I can no longer write during my free time, because I assume that I won't have any to spare (╥ ω ╥)...
Fear not! I will be back with Act 2, as soon as my time permits me. Act 2 will be written in Aerion's POV for its entirety. Thank you so so so so much guys! See you in a few months!
With bleeding fingers,
Izzyaps
Fun Fact #1
Madam's late husband is related to Lionel Baratheon.
Fun Fact #2
Madam's house is hidden behind a dense forest that appears to be a dead end. Unless someone knows exactly where to look, they'd never find it. It often houses a certain tax bracket, therefore the girls are fed very well.
Fun Fact #3
Madam is incapable of having children.
Fun Fact #4
Aesa began studying potions and witchcraft at seven years old, shortly after her mother's death.
Fun Fact #5
Aesa narrates the story far more often than most readers realize.
Fun Fact #6
The "wizard" Duncan mentioned in the earlier chapters was actually Wyvern. Duncan simply assumed the mysterious figure was a man.
Fun Fact #7
Aesa has absolutely no idea who Jesus is, along with a thousand other modern words and phrases that Aesarys casually blurts out, but she adapts.
Fun Fact #8
Aesarys survived on instant noodles during weekdays and cheap sushi on the weekends.
Fun Fact #9
Aesarys has an older brother who is the lead guitarist of a small band. His name is John.
Fun Fact #10
Aesarys doesn't know how to braid her own hair.
Fun Fact #11
Aesarys' greatest enemies are: Oysters, and men. Though not necessarily in that order.
Fun Fact #12
Tirza was Aesa's very first friend.
Fun Fact #13
Tirza had two older brothers.
Fun Fact #14
Daeron carved the wooden dragon that Aerion and Valarr used to fight over as children.
Fun Fact #15
Baelor cannot legally legitimize Aesarys because he is not the king. While he personally encourages the family to treat her as legitimate, the rest of Westeros still sees her as nothing more than a bastard.
Fun Fact #16
Aerion doesn't like it when peasant girls touch him. He believes they are far beneath him to do so.
Fun Fact #17
Aerion's biggest pet peeve is being ignored.
Fun Fact #18
Aesarys' biggest pet peeve is Aerion.
Fun Fact #19
It took Aerion a week to make the vial he gave Aesarys. It could have been made in two days, but third time's the charm.
Fun Fact #20
Valarr loves seafood.
Fun Fact #21
Valarr enjoys listening to gossip.
Fun Fact #22
Baelor enjoys gossip even more than Valarr. Though he would never admit to it.
Fun Fact #23
Once a month, Maekar disappears into a small bath at either Summerhall or King's Landing for one uninterrupted hour to soak in lavender, away from court... and away from his children.
Fun Fact #24
Duncan snores so loudly that Aesarys struggled to sleep that night around the campfire.
Fun Fact #25
Aesa says, "Gods.", meanwhile Aesarys says, "God."
Fun Fact #26
If Westeros had antibiotics, this story would be significantly shorter. Though, through thorough research for this fanfic, I have found out that there are several natural antibiotics that you can use for minor symptoms.
Fun Fact #27
One of the contributing factors to Aerys I's death was a Targaryen.
Fun Fact #28
If someone handed Aesarys coffee in Westeros, she'd probably cry.
Fun Fact #29
Aesarys has accidentally said "okay" enough times that several people think it's a foreign word. Context: The word "okay" is fully modern and cannot be understood by anyone from the medieval times.
Fun Fact #30
Despite everything, Madam still remembers every girl's birthday.
Fun Fact #31
If Aerion and Aesarys switched worlds, Aerion would probably get arrested within twenty-four hours. Actually... I doubt he'll even make it past three.
Fun Fact #32
Aesarys has considered hitting Aerion with a chair, more than once, but understands that she will definitely NOT survive the aftermath of doing that.
