Oh lord, this is a thing. The weird thing is a few nights ago I would’ve thought this idea was plum crazy and was the weirdest shipping I had ever seen since like Toph and Sokka from Airbender. But I’ve been on a Game of Thrones kick lately which is evident by me joining my second “really” advanced game ever. But this isn’t about that. I’ve had this sort of idea ever since a dream spoke to be about AU nonsense that I wrote down on a notepad the following morning. The idea was to play a sort-of less chaotic evil Joffrey Baratheon and a more lawful evil type—his own “code” of beliefs. Of course this would change him from being an arbitrary prick and more of a lawful prick. I can go into detail if interested but I’m more curious how we can make this something tangible, but I’ve never ever had a 1x1 work out so I’m a bit cautious.

Talk to me.

Trust me, the pair can totally work! I know, it sounds crazy and it is but I have plans which are semi-coherent.

So, Joffery was actually pretty nice to Sansa and Arya (before his dad got killed) while en route to King's Landing and even after getting there. So I think his psychopathic tendencies are only a result of A) crazy genetics and B) his father dying and never being able to process it while finally being given the title of King which in his mind should fix everything but instead gives him a god-complex. So anyway, my ideas were sort of:

1. Sansa could get captured and kidnapped out of King's Landing when Stark allies realize that she is in danger if she marries Joffrey, so Arya now has to take her place and marry Joffrey. Needs plenty more sprucing up but it could tie in to the next brain nugget.

2. Changes the events from season 1 and 2 and er 3, a bit. For a crack pair, that's understandable though. So The Hound and Arya are traveling around, still trying to get the Vale. Meanwhile, the riots in King's Landing are getting worse, even with Joffrey aiming to marry to a new girl soon. Petry senses the danger and he and Cersei and Joffrey smuggle themselves out of the castle and go on the run for a while. Cue everyone failing with survival skills and Petry and Cersei giving each other witty remarks while trying to control the bratty King. As the groups travel, they soon cross paths. The Hounds sees Joffrey as another opportunity to make some cash and captures him.

Meanwhile Cersei and Petyr have to get him back, while avoiding the Stark war that's raging, but nearing its own end. Thus The Hound now has to babysit Arya and Joffrey as he decides to take Arya back first and then deal with Joffrey. Then the two could escape on their own, learn to work together, etc.

3. Ish. I did have another idea, that Joffrey didn't really behead Ned, but sent him to deal with Dany and used a stand-in who's head was concealed, therefore he could break the "good" news to Arya, should he need to get on her good side, since she has the most skill in terms of surviving and fighting. Just some musings.
