Author's Note: This is a collection of one shots written a while back to enable me to explore Myrcella without the obligation or responsibility that comes with writing a full out tale.
Some of these tales have been posted prior but at the suggestions of my amazing beta-reader I compiled them into one collection for those whom (like myself) love Myrcella may get their fill.
Disclaimer: All this belongs to GRRM up to and including some quotes that were used directly from the novels (because of the scene its written in).
Beta Readers: As always a huge thank you to the lovely Weshallflyaway for helping me make this work! Your help and wisdom is always greatly appreciated.
The Reunion
Jaime never expected to see his daughter again. A painful, if not apt, punishment for the sins he had committed.
Myrcella stood before him; an elegant, tall yellow-haired beauty, with bright eyes of green, and lips that never ceased to smile.
Only she was not these things.
A long scar, partly hidden behind her long hair marred her porcelain skin. Her eyes once shining with joy carried an undeniable weight. Her lips no longer wore the smile of innocence, but the mystery of all unspoken.
Jaime could only imagine what she saw when she looked upon him; a cripple, a grotesque, an incestuous kingslayer, and a tired old man.
'Father?'
A single word spoken in hope, and Jaime's world threatened to come undone.
'Father! It does my heart good to see you again after so long!'
To his surprise, it did his heart good too.
Gone was the shadow of his deceased sister; in her place was the vibrant young girl he once called daughter in dreams alone. She smiled at him, and even her scars could not mar her perfect beauty. For all daughters are flawless in a father's eyes.
Frozen in place he stood, as so many words caught in his throat. The water that collected in his eyes remained unshed as her arms wrapped tightly around him.
His only daughter was alive and well; there was little else that mattered.
Author's Note: Falling Towers wrote a brilliant piece called The Key to Good Eavesdropping that could easily act as a prequel to this piece. Though its written neither from Jaime, nor Myrcella's perspective it really sheds light on the complications of this reunion.
