Chapter 25 of No Joy of Command is out for Squires!
Added 2025-06-23 08:05:22 +0000 UTCThis is the epilogue. A thicker chapter, but not too late. I think I wrote everything I could figure out, without going in needless details. It's a bit raw as my editor went to sleep a few hours ago, so read at your own risk, as I might add a bit more down the line. Do let me know what you think in the comments below.
Anyway, you can read the previous chapters in the collection.
Edit: I forgot to add the new Map of the Seven Kingdoms (credit to Ascalon for making it)

You can think of it that way. The other interpretation is... the meteor simply would never hit in this AU.

2025-06-24 19:08:07 +0000 UTCThanks for writing such an amazing story. There is truly no greater hater than that Kraken wasting its entire life because Jon ate one of its thousands of babies. It literally just shook its fist angrily towards Jon for like 50 years and couldnโt do much else. But I respect the dedication to the game.

2025-06-23 18:25:29 +0000 UTCGreat story, really had me wanting more. I was bummed that Jon didnโt get to interact with certain characters more because he was stuck on the island.

2025-06-23 17:54:40 +0000 UTCThis fic was great. I know you're getting sick of Jon (and I don't blame you because you've written hundreds of thousands of words with him as a main character) but you write him really well. I hope we get another Jon fic out of you someday. Looking forward to the next one.

2025-06-23 15:09:34 +0000 UTCIt's hard to include House Martell as anything but a tertiary plot line unless a significant portion of the plot is dedicated to them. They're too isolated. In most Jon-focused fics you'd have to force a square peg in a round hole to make it work.

2025-06-23 14:24:36 +0000 UTCIf only the story was longer not because needed it but because of how great this story has been I almost wish you'd have this Jon Stark used in other stories reborn in other worlds

2025-06-23 14:24:34 +0000 UTCI have to admit, these kind of โafter action reportโ style of historical accounts in your epilogues are my favourites and I always look forward to reading them. Iโm beginning to notice that house Martell tends to get shafted the most in your fics. Any particular reason for that?

2025-06-23 11:51:35 +0000 UTCAs any good RPG junkie I'm lorewhore, and thus, this was too short and anemic for me. Needs more history blurbs. As a fan of a good fanfic however, I am more than satiated. Thanks Glads ๐. And now... GIMME SOME MOAH!!!

2025-06-23 10:39:19 +0000 UTCAbsolute fucking peak and it answered all the possibilities we could think of Jon abdicating after a certain amount of time (which I suspected) his descendants following him. and how those tratorious fuckers that tried to start a second Dance were dealt with I assume Jon massively expanded the Dragonkeepers with orders to kill if necessary on the command of the king if they try to forcibly access dragons W King Daemon the ll PEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!

2025-06-23 09:12:52 +0000 UTCSeems Jon and Cregan took care of the Others for their descendants. Good deaths there, even if nobody will know it. Thanks for the story
