Jaqen/Arya - "I Still See It" [+AU!Redemption Arc]
"I pity you. Nothing's worth anything to dead men."
Please watch in HD with a full screen. ;DD
NOTE: I won't allow hate on this because of the ship. Just a friendly reminder. Don't like, don't watch - it's an easy principle.
Remember when I complained about the "Never Forget" edit? Screw that. The hours I spent on this are insane. There are still some flaws and not all is as perfect as I wanted it to be but I'm really content with the result. And sad at the same time because the plot I'd have in my mind for them (and all shippers in general) is surely so much better than what the show will do next season.
Anyway, it makes the J/A people creative. And I'm so amazed at how torn all are with our opinions. Some say s02 and s05/6 Jaqen was the same and some don't. Well, I'm gonna go with my version that they are NOT the same (a thing I fear the show will disappoint me next season as well but however).
This one turned out like a mixture of my Oldtown!AU and the AU!Prophecy for Arya. The latter can be seen as pre-story but there's no need (but would explain Melisandre a bit better xD). Anyway, as a reminder:
• Jaqen/Arya - "Until They Know Their Future...
Plot: Arya meets Melisandre who was on her way to Oldtown. She decides that working together would accomplish more and so they go together. Arya gets into to Citadel but gets caught by Pate. She senses that something's wrong and demands him to reveal himself. And SURPRISE it's no other than Jaqen. Arya wants to go away but he is following her (I think that manip with Arya trying to get away from Jaqen who walked straight towards her is funny because as if she could escape him xD). However, she calms down a bit when she hears the old pet name "lovely girl" from Harrenhal again.
Melisandre tells her that they need to work together for the upcoming war and so Arya decides to help searching for the Dragon Horn. Sam is also helping as best as he can and tells about the situation with Jon. Of course, Arya immediately decides to go back to Winterfell.
The evening before they leave Oldtown Arya asks Jaqen what the hell that thing in Braavos was. He gives her no clear answer and (also with the help of what Syrio said about "seeing") she figures out that the one she met there wasn't the same.
You should think she might be ok with it now but she isn't. On their way she avoids any kind of excuses.
Before they arrive in Winterfell, they also find Nymeria and Sandor who accompany them. Well, Arya still complains about the Hound.
They get welcomed in Winterfell and Jon and Sam tell them about the White Walkers and that there aren't enough people on their side. Arya has a change of heart because she knows Jaqen could help. But the problem is that she demanded from him to go and so she has to stop him before he leaves.
So he stays and they start to spend more time together - which doesn't go unnoticed. And even Arya has to admit to herself that there might be more between them than she's thought, even questioning him if there is something worth for a man like him at all.
Melisandre sees their connection with the help of the fire and not-so-subtle tells Jon who is just amused by it and it ends with Jon and Sansa teasing Arya.
Before the Winter War is about to start, Arya decides to ask Jaqen about his motivation, why is he here at all. He doesn't give a clear answer but she doesn't let go and so he kisses her (which should give her the answer).
With the Night King’s army now right before the door, Winterfell (and any army you'd like to decide being there plus the Valyrian swords they probably got from destroying the Iron Throne) gets ready for the war at the wall. Sandor also stayed but is still complaining.
During the war it gets pretty clear that they are about to lose. Arya furiously asks to finally use the damn Dragon Horn to get the help they need. But it only makes things worse since they confound it with the Horn of Joramun which means the wall - the only thing which was protecting them - is tumbling down.
Before everything is lost, the Dany and her army arrives which is enough to win. Jon kills the Night King and brings the spring back.
At the end, Jaqen and Arya talk during a celebration feast in Winterfell. She remembered that he fought for her when she was about to get killed by a White Walker and asked why he did that (stupid question Arya xP). One thing leads to another and at the end we have the cheesy love confession. Everything is good. The end.
For you to decide: You can also see some SanSan in this but you don't have to. I tried to keep it down since this is a Jaqarya edit. ;))
And heeey I can use my own thumbnails now. I'm so proud of me. xP
