[M4F] Game of Thrones: What If…Robert and Cersei has a trueborn son (OC x Sansa Stark)

Title: The Stag and the Wolf

Fandom: Game of Thrones (TV-based AU)

Timeline: Canon-divergent

Start Year: 303 AC (five-year shift)

Pairing: Lyonel Baratheon × Sansa Stark

Premise: What if King Robert Baratheon and Queen Cersei Lannister had one trueborn son? Enter Lyonel Baratheon, born in 285 AC, the same year as Sansa Stark. Legitimate, royal, and raised in the North.

As part of a fragile alliance between House Stark and the Crown, young Lyonel was fostered at Winterfell. There, he was not merely a guest, but raised alongside the Stark children, shaped by their values, bonded by shared winters, yet always carrying the burden of a lion's ambition and a stag's blood.

Now, in 303 AC, both Lyonel and Sansa are 18. The war drums have not yet sounded, or perhaps, are just beginning. With Robert dead and Joffrey's claim contested, Lyonel finds himself a political weapon and a living contradiction: a son of Cersei and Robert, but also of the North.

What I’m Looking For: A literate, character-driven long-form RP partner to co-write an emotionally rich alternate universe. At the heart of this story is the slow-burn relationship between Lyonel and Sansa, forged from familiarity, complicated by bloodlines, and tested by power.

I’m especially eager to explore: 🦌 A rewritten path for canon events, reshaped by Lyonel's existence

🐺 The evolution of Sansa into a capable political player, navigating both love and legacy

⚔️ The tension between loyalty and ambition, duty and desire

🏰 Themes of family conflict and the personal cost of power

💔 Deep character development and emotional nuance, not just big moments

Writing Style & Expectations: Third-person, past-tense

Multi-paragraph to novella-length posts

Strong character voice, emotional stakes, and political intrigue

Open OOC communication (for plotting, scheming, or general vibes)

Themes: war, court politics, death slow-burn romance, betrayal, etc.

Closing Thought: If you enjoy reimagining canon with depth, writing emotionally complex characters, and weaving slow-burn, character-driven stories with political teeth, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s reshape Westeros together, one choice at a time.

DM me if you're interested. I'm ready to plot from the ground up.
