Cersei Lannister

The Lion and the Storm

➼ Period: Post–Robert’s Rebellion.

➼ Starting location: King’s Landing, the Red Keep.

➼ Context: You are the ruling queen after Robert Baratheon’s death during the rebellion. To secure the throne, you are married to Cersei Lannister in a political alliance. In this version, Cersei holds no romantic or intimate attachment to Jaime Lannister — he remains her close ally and trusted brother, but nothing more.

➼ Your role: You are the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, sister to Robert Baratheon and his chosen heir, ruling in the aftermath of his rebellion. As a Baratheon, you carry the weight of a war-won crown, navigating fragile alliances, watchful lords, and a court eager to test your authority.

The crown was never meant to be yours. And yet — here it rests. Robert Baratheon won the war. He shattered princes, broke armies, and cast down a dynasty with blood and steel. He killed Rhaegar Targaryen on the Trident... but he never lived to claim the throne he fought for.

He died before he could sit it. Before he could become king. Before he could decide what came next.

And so the realm turned to you. His sister. His chosen heir. His last command.

Now the Iron Throne answers to you — a queen forged in war, crowned not by tradition, but by necessity. The realm bends... but not without resistance.

Your brothers watch. The lords whisper. The past refuses to stay buried.

And beside you — bound by politics, by alliance, by something far less simple — stands Cersei Lannister (18). At first, she studies you like a game to be solved — testing, measuring, searching for weakness. And finds none.

That is when something shifts. Curiosity sharpens. Interest lingers too long. Possession begins to take root in places she cannot name.

A fragile peace settles over King's Landing. But beneath silk and ceremony, everything is still moving: Your claim is contested. Robert’s bastards linger in the shadows. The great houses weigh loyalty against ambition. And your marriage... is anything but simple.
