OPEN POST REDUX ① How this lot usually works. Leave me a prompt. An image, a quote, a sound - a scene and if it clicks we'll play it out, do a sort of really relaxed mini-verse/psl or whatever you wanna call it. Anything goes. If this is something gen, crack, crossovers, aus, something shippy or a kink - go right on. If we like it enough, we could make it a verse or smthng. ② Usual disclaimer of i am a turtle forever and ever ( feel free to nudge me about our thread if I am taking too long ) ③ My whole muselist is up for grabs. If you're looking for someone in specific leave it in the subject line. Less active muses may take longer to reply to; also see muse strength. OCs are also up for grabs.

Robb goes where?

TEMPORARY ACCOUNT UNTIL I ROLL OUT A MODERN AU Journal and YOU SPOIL ME SOOOO.

[robb]

[ its his dad's idea. mostly. to come work for the baratheon's in the long summer. there's an instinctive part of robb that knows this is just to keep him binge drinking with theon, small jon and darcy. he's on break from college and he's supposed to be allowed to let loose a little. but ned stark has always held a tight leash so he concedes.

besides, the baratheon's are family friends. even if uncle robert's nephew is a giant shit and he'd really rather like to replace his floor tiling with legos.

( sansa's tumblr has a hashtag of #joffrey: prettiest prince and that just gives robb more incentive to want nothing to do with him. )

so this is how he ends up cleaning the pool. he's in nothing but a pair of swim shorts and he's wielding the lengthy pool net like a spear. his whole body is damp as he tries to fish leaves from the water. it's only then when he looks up, that he notices one of the baratheon brothers by the pool. renly is a little closer in age, so robb can drop the prefix of "mr." entirely. ]

Renly. [ he says smoothly. ]

I didn't know you were in town.

[ Renly Baratheon is a busy man, busy enough to barely be around when the chores are being done around his expansive summer house. He has a twitter to update, texts to respond to, meetings to attend for the sake of Robert's reputation (and by association his own), and social events to arrive fashionably late to with a Tyrell on either arm. He had barely given Ned Stark's request any thought at all before accepting, making sure the doorman allowed Robb in and continuing on with his day.

That had been earlier in the summer, and he hadn't seen Robb once since. He almost doesn't see him again, until he looks up from a snide tweet from Hyle Hunt and sees a man grown.

It had been a few years since Renly and Robb had physically crossed paths, and the kid who he watched grow up from an extended familial distance had definitely, well, grown up.

Wow. ]

I didn't know I would be either, but sometimes you have to attend benefits and can't get out of it. Damn Robb, you've grown.
