    Oh wow this was fantastic! Just fantastic! I love your take on not only Joanna & Tywin but so many other characters as well!
    From beginning to end I love how Joanna's relationships with Aerys & Tywin develop and change and the ending was so heartbreaking.
    And Jaime & Cersei being Aerys's children! This was the best take on it I've seen and now I'm so curious to what Tywin's thoughts on the twins would be as they grow up, especially for Cersei. Would he see Joanna in her? Or Aerys? If so would he take that out on her?
    Your writing and character development was beautiful and I truly enjoyed reading it <3

    Ohh now I'm also wondering how such a proud & strong Tywin would react if Aerys had taken and forced him as he did Joanna? How would he deal with being "used like a woman" as I imagine it would be considered?

      Thank you so much! :)
      I think in spite of what Tywin told Joanna in the last chapter, he might actually remain internally conflicted about Jaime's and Cersei's parentage, sometimes believing them to be Aerys's, but often hoping they might be his after all or even blocking out the thought they could be Aerys's at times. He definitely treats Cersei terribly, but that could be for a number of reasons: Joanna, Aerys, or his general view on women and their proper role in society.
      Well... I have a couple of ideas for Tywin/Aerys fics in mind that would explore precisely that question... ;)

        You are most welcome~
        Oh okay, yeah it would make sense for Tywin to do that. Hope that the Twins really are his and prefer to ignore the thought that they might be Aerys's at times. I think that fits his character very well. AS for his treatment of Cersei, Sadly I think his treatment of her is a combination of all those reasons =(

        Ohh what ideas do you have in mind if you don't mind me asking? Imagine Aerys whispering in Tywin's ear as he claims him, that he's a whore just like his father's mistress? 0w0
        He could even claim Tywin was doing the same as her, trying to take what isn't his (in regards to Tywin running things better than him) maybe suggesting "Perhaps I should have you whipped and paraded through the streets as well?" Just to get under his skin?
        What do you think? I can't imagine how Tywin would react to that.
