This is a response to a anonymous prompt from 14/March/2014: "For that ficlet response thing(I'm assuming you want some so here you go): thrift shop, (a lannister of your choosing) and modern au" - this a prompt based on a song, this case "Thrift shop" from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis


It seemed to them that in one single day everything changed, they went from having everything to having nothing of some sorts. But no it wasn't just that day, it started with their "father's" death, and then their "uncle" Renly and their other "uncle" turned against them and put her family in court - for a reason they couldn't really understand. Then Joffrey and Grandfather Tywin died - and mother was unable to move foward. And then the worst happened, their mother was murdered by the hands of Myrcella's own uncle, who was then taken to jail with their other uncle who had thrown a boy from a window.

That day she and Tommen lost every money they had, the trust founds, her future at Harvard, or Tommen's position in the private school all members of their family had gone to. And nobody took them in, not Stannis, who was suppose to be their uncle, or the Martells, who had told her that they would always accept her.

So she took Tommen and ran with the only money she had in her pocket at the moment - twenty dollars - never had needed anything besides her credit card before.

Their house was taken away and called a crime scene, and they hided in a Summer House that had belonged to the grandmother they never met - Joanna Lannister, the only woman who ever made grandfather smile. Without clothes to wear, she took her grandmother's coats and Tommen looked in his grandfather's clothes

And in that small house, looking up the Sunset Sea, they tried to create a new life, where they could be happy again… but with less money
