ONCE UPON 24 TIMES: STORY XII

Story the Twelfth:
Two of Swords -
The Fire Prince and the Ice Princess

All children in Westeros know the story. The way their septas have told them already in the cradle. The way mummers perform it on stage. The tale of the damsel and the dragon, and of the hero who slew the aforementioned reptilian beast, a bloodthirsty three-headed scarlet monster, by crushing the heart within its ribcage.
When they come of age, however, some children will be confronted with the truth about what happened in real life. Which is completely different from the storybook version.
For starters, the dragon was not a dragon. At least he was no three-headed, bloodthirsty reptilian beast.


They were as different as fire and ice, yet, in spite of their Stark (and Targaryen) difference in temperament, quite unexpectedly, right when his periwinkle orbs and her irises grey as steel exchanged a sudden glance,

THE STORY OF US TWO (LYAEGAR FILK)

Eons since Tywin of the Lannisters, of LANNISTER: A WESTEROSI MUSICAL -that opera bunny that grew into an April Fool's prank!- and my bunny farm has been decimated.
I had filk ideas, but I couldn't rewrite the lyrics 'cause they fit the characters/scenarios like Cinderella's shoe, without any indications of the time period or names being mentioned. One of which was Magnus Uggla's Vi 2 as a Lyaegar duet.
Maybe I will translate the lyrics straight from the Swedish into English... right now, allons-y, the reason why Lyaegar is because the song is about star-crossed luvvers who both of them already have a partner. And it's so heart-wrenching that Lyanna and Rhaegar are the first things that come to mind.

THE STORY OF US TWO

LYANNA:
Think that us who love one another
outside others' sight,
live close to parents, friends, some brother...
in broad daylight...

RHAEGAR:
But the time that we steal
for our trysts
feels wonderful and dear...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
...yet, at break of day,
when the two of us must take our leave...
it's so clear!

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.
I gave my strength away,
I've lost my reason for a way
to understand without woe
this is the story of us two...

RHAEGAR:
Often thought of stakes for raising,
taking one more chance...
Likewise, as many times of leaving
this sad romance...

LYANNA:
For I know that it's wrong,
what we do 
towards those we betray...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
Yet, if we cease our trysts,
I would have always reached the same answer
anyway...

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.
I gave my strength away,
I've lost my reason for a way
to understand without woe...
sad is the story of us two...

RHAEGAR:
Hold me tight, take my hand,
let us right now share our life...
For soon you'll go forth to your man,
and I myself home to my wife...

LYANNA:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.

RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
Can't understand life without you...
For I hope, I hope so...
this is the story of us two.

LYANNA+RHAEGAR:
I do love you so...
I do love you so...
I do love you so...
SAD IS THE STORY OF US TWO...

I really envision Rhaegar and Lyanna as I listen to this song, even in original Swedish. So <3 enjoy this one, and here is the original song in Swedish:
