Cruel and Unusual Death

comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Aerys (in keeping with his later life proclivities) has Wenda the White Fawn burned on a wildfire pyre. Thankfully, Geralt, who cannot stomach watching Wenda’s slow and agonizing death, discreetly put a spell on her that render her unconscious, giving her last moments to die painlessly.

Adaptation Expansion
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: The Others' motivations of exterminating all life and bringing the Long Night are their attempts to reclaim what is originally their home world. According to Howland Reed, the Others were the original inhabitants of Westeros and the world was always in an endless ice age until the climate grew warmer. From the beginning they came into conflict with the Aen Elle, and eventually the Children of the Forest and humanity. As the world grew more warmer, humans gradually supplanted the Children and the Others as the dominant race. The Others has since viewed humans and all life as invaders who are driving their species into extinction, and that destroying them and turning the world colder again is the only way to ensure their survival.

Prophetic Fallacy: In one of Rheagar's dreams of wintry doom he encounters a white wolf with red eyes naturally he believes the dream-vision to be referring to Geralt, the white-haired witcher with a red-eyed wolf-head medallion, when in truth it is referring to Ghost, the dire wolf of the third child he is destined to have.

Break the Haughty: Tywin tasked Geralt to be Jaime’s combat instructor for the sake of not only sharpening his marital prowess, but also to curb his arrogance and foolishness. After a rough start, Jaime eventually begun to learn from Geralt in earnest.

My Master, Right or Wrong: Barristan still retains his loyalty to Aerys even after his death. He gets real upset over Arthur's criticisms of Aerys and even defends Aerys' actions in front of Rhaella's presence. But Barristan gets called out by Arthur to finally realize that Aerys was never a good king.

 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_31655611
comment
Impeded Communication: Following the curse-breaking at Harrenhal, all animals (except for cats for some reason) throughout Westeros are left very spooked by the events. The ravens who survived the curse-breaking refused to fly, thus causing a breakdown in communication across the Seven Kingdoms. This temporarily prevents everyone from learning the news of the curse-breaking and King Aerys' untimely death.

Character Development
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_3b113b7
comment
Since Geralt brought along Arthur, Pycelle, Oswell and Jaime to put down Harren the Black for good, Jaime doesn't gain the infamous moniker of Kingslayer, as Aerys instead dies by a heart attack. This doesn't put a negative reputation on Tywin's eldest son, allowing him to be viewed more in a positive light due to being a huge player in killing Harren the Black. This would normally inflate his ego, if it wasn't from the Character Development he received from training under Geralt, coupled with coming out of a supernatural battle by the skin of his teeth. As a result, he becomes more of a Knight in Shining Armor that he aspires to be, something that wouldn't happen to the canon Jaime until he lost his hand and even then, he’s more of a Knight in Sour Armor since he didn’t have Geralt to temper his recklessness earlier in his life which caused reality to metaphorically (and even literally) beat the lessons Geralt instilled to him in this story.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Following the successful banishment of Harren the Black, Arthur and Oswell contemplate their oaths and vow to end Aerys before his madness can do more damage to the realm. This becomes unnecessary when Aerys unwittingly causes his own death on the Iron Throne.

Enemy Mine: Neither Tywin nor Geralt like each other, but they have a mutual dislike of Aerys and the former even gave him advice on how to survive in the Mad King's court. Tywin also has enough trust in Geralt that he tasks him with tutoring Jaime in sharpening both his swordsmanship and curbing his recklessness.

For Want of a Nail
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want Of A Nail: With Geralt’s arrival before the start of the official canon, much has changed. With Tywin tasking Geralt to train Jaime, not only are his negative qualities more curbed, but upon learning how inbreeding can cause genetic defects and fear of disappointing Geralt causes him to rebuff Cersei’s advances. Since Geralt brought along Arthur, Pycelle, Oswell and Jaime to put down Harren the Black for good, Jaime doesn't gain the infamous moniker of Kingslayer, as Aerys instead dies by a heart attack. This doesn't put a negative reputation on Tywin's eldest son, allowing him to be viewed more in a positive light due to being a huge player in killing Harren the Black.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: As revealed by Howland Reed to Geralt, Ciri's battle to end the White Frost caused another, smaller Conjunction to occur, opening windows to hundreds of different worlds in the process which include Westeros - specifically in the far north, and returning magic to the land and awakening the Others just a year prior to Geralt's arrival.

Throw the Dog a Bone: For all the trouble in brings, Geralt coming to Westeros qualifies at this. He doesn't need to deal with the discrimination of being a Witcher unlike in his old world as people actually appreciate the skills he brings to the table and treat him as a worthy ally to have. Everyone views his unique physical features (such as his cat eyes) as more of a unique quirk than something to be afraid of, allowing him to integrate easier. This is in spite of walking into the Decadent Court of the Mad King himself.

Irony: Geralt, a man who's well-known for his cynicism and wouldn't look out of place in the world of Westeros (monster-hunting and mutations aside), brings positive change to the people around him, causing them to face their flaws and seek to improve upon them. Jaime Lannister is vilified as Kingslayer after killing Aerys. In this story, he also killed a king by landing the final blow that led Harren the Black to his demise but is instead celebrated as a hero. It's justified as one is a normal (albeit crazed) man while the other is a supernatural entity.

Outside-Context Problem
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_cc7fae30
comment
Outside-Context Problem: Geralt is the walking definition of this, coming from a land where the supernatural is more overt, being a Master Swordsman who can put many of the Kingsguard to shame and while his usage of Signs is rudimentary at best, the fact that magic’s prominence in the world is heavily reduced makes him out to be a powerful wizard. Even his alchemical knowledge, while not necessarily lacking, doesn’t live up to the true scholars of his world yet he knows enough that it makes a significant difference.

Lighter and Softer: Subversion. For Geralt, Westeros at first seemed to be a better place, where people treat him surprisingly well and grateful, without the usual Fantastic Racism. Then, he meets the Mad King... Overall, it’s a bit of a zigzagged trope. Considering the setting Geralt ended up in, it’s not that different from his home world since it’s filled with poverty, politics and manipulation. However, with the revelation that the Others are coming back as well as Geralt’s expedition to banish Harren the Black allowing the major powers to be aware of the supernatural forces in play, it at least gives a chance for everyone to unite against an enemy that’s out to get them, with Geralt being the leading expertise in such matters.

Magnetic Hero

Magnetic Hero: Even within the Decadent Court of King Aerys, Geralt is able to draw people to him because of his capacity for kindness despite the bleakness of the world he’s in along with his cynicism. His efforts in leading his Hanse to banish Harren the Black causes Arthur and Oswell to try and attempt to kill Aerys because of his madness and to spare the realm of more suffering though it wasn’t necessary since he died during their quest, Pycelle to be more active in body and mind to try and learn about the supernatural as well as be more useful in spite of his age, not to mention his willingness to train Jaime despite the rough start causes the Young Lion to be live up to the Knight in Shining Armor that he aspires to be, curbing much of his arrogance and being more mature in the process, helping that he participated in a battle that’s supernatural in nature. Even Tywin, despite his dislike of Geralt, was willing to assist him in helping him survive the tumultuous environment of the Red Keep and is willing to handsomely reward him in his efforts in training his son.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: After Arthur and Oswell regretfully expressed to Queen Rhaella of their failures to protect her from the late King Aerys' rapes and abuses, Rhaella very coldly called out on the entire Kingsguard the reason why they didn't do anything to save her is because they feared the repercussions from Aerys. Rhaella then terminated her reliance on the Kingsguard's so-called protection and ordered them to stay away from her. Barristan also gets chewed out by Arthur for standing up to defend King Aerys' actions even in Rhaella's presence. After hearing Arthur's words, Barristan apologizes to Arthur and Oswell. But Arthur replies to Barristan that the person whom he should be apologizing to is Rhaella.

Sympathy for the Devil: Even though Geralt dislikes Tywin, he felt really awful for explaining about dwarves to Aerys and prompting the Mad King to cruelly mock Tywin about his son Tyrion.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Geralt contemplates fleeing the Red Keep after meeting Aerys. However, Tywin pointed it out to him that escaping would not work out in the long term as he is in a strange and unfamiliar land that he has less information about and no reliable allies and friends that he could depend on for help to escape from Aerys’ grasp.

The Load
 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_e68b72
comment
Pycelle, of all people, also undergoes an arc of development himself. Once a cowardly man, upon seeing how hard Geralt and co. were fighting Harren the Black, coupled with his physical limitations partly because of his age, inspires him to be more courageous, vowing repentance before Harrenhal's heart tree in earnest and playing a huge part in wearing down Harren to the point where the others were able to land a blow and kill him for good. Due to his efforts, he was deemed worthy to be knighted by Oswell and Arthur. He even volunteers to physically train himself so he doesn't become The Load to his newfound circle of friends, becoming a nobler hero in the process.

 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c
comment
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Aerys arrests Tywin, has him brought before him, and threatens to wipe out the Lannisters, Tywin laughs. He then proceeds to gloat over how even tied up and seemingly helpless, he still terrifies Aerys, and even if Aerys does wipe out the Lannisters, he will spend the rest of his life afraid that he might have missed one. Aerys’s fear causes his heart to give out.

comment
Easily Forgiven: Averted. Queen Rhaella doesn't forgive Arthur, Oswell and the Kingsguard in general for their inactions and toleration with the rapes and abuses inflicted on her by Aerys. But she does give credit to Arthur and Oswell for admitting of their failures to protect her. She would have punished them severely if she wanted to, but she acknowledged that the Seven Kingdoms needs their service in the coming war against the Others.

 Wayward Wolf (Fanfic) / int_f8e010ce
comment
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When Geralt tells Aerys’ court about the dragons of his world, including a story about a kind dragon who was trying to establish peace and harmony between humans, elves, and dwarves, Aerys very contemptuously sneers at the Witcher’s dragons for having “scruples” and ranting that dragons are supposed to be mindless engines of destruction who completely obeys at their master’s command to lay waste on their enemies. Geralt mentally note that despite Aerys' boasts of how powerful Valyrian dragons are, he is blind to the obvious fact that the Valyrian dragons are extinct while the so-called "scrupulous" dragons are alive and thriving.
