History Fanfic / ThePhoenicianOfBloodAndFire

* BreakTheScientist: Pycelle is left very floored after Myrlan proved him otherwise that magic is real by carving a Cleofan (Rune of Cleaving) on a butter knife and used it to cut a chestplate of plate mail armor in half.

* EldritchLocation: The Wall, according to Myrlan, possess vast amounts of magic drawn into it in which Myrlan describes it a "seething maelstrom of magic". Aemon further explains his theory is that the Children of the Forest were responsible for helping to build the Wall and enchanting it that makes it sturdy for centuries. Also, Aemon reveals that some members of the Night’s Watch felt disturbed by the Wall and couldn't explain why it bothers them, and some would either kill themselves or desert within a few months. Aemon believes the disturbances are tie to an unnatural stone underneath the Wall that is unlike dragonstone used by Valyrians, and he even note it to be quite similar to the black stone founded by the Bloodstone Emperor. It is implied the stone to be noctilith.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Being raised by a loving, chivalrous family truly did wonders for Angron's character.

* LoopholeAbuse: Brienne makes Aegon promise to not challenge Renly's men even if they disrespected her. However, Aegon noted that she doesn't forbid him from accepting a challenge from them.

* StopWorshippingMe: After seeing Aegon [[spoiler:slay Melisandre's shadowbaby]], people start to call him the "Warrior in flesh" and address him prayers. Aegon's first impulse is to toss the votives into the sea.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Because of Gregor Clegane's [[RapePillageAndBurn wanton pillaging]] in the Riverlands and causing the deaths of Morrec's parents at the commands of the Lannisters, Morrec utterly despised the nobility of Westeros for not caring about the lives of the smallfolk that would become causalities in their political games. Morrec makes an exception with Ned Stark, who is willing to repair the damages in the Riverlands.

** Theon and his father were killed during the Greyjoy Rebellion with the former hinted to be murdered by Gregor Clegane since he was found with his head crushed. The only Greyjoys left alive are Asha and Euron, former was spared and adopted by the Tullys after the rebellion and the latter was away exploring the world.

* PokeInTheThirdEye: A non-invasive version - [[spoiler:when Balerion is poisoned by Mortarion and put in a coma, he's brought back to a past conversation with two of his younger brothers... only for Konrad to ''see'' him.]]

* ForWantOfANail: Morrec and his fellow smallfolk slain Gregor Clegane and his raiders at Mummer's Ford, which in canon was destroyed by Clegane's raiders.

* {{Expy}}: A childless farmer couple adopting a mysterious child who fell from the sky? Hello, Superman. Of course, Morrec's grim demeanour and his crusade being kickstarted by his parents' murder lean more towards Batman.

* PrepareToDie: "My name is Morrec. You and your men killed my parents. Now, prepare to die."

* LoopholeAbuse: Brienne makes Aegon to not challenge Renly's men even if they disrespected her. However, Aegon noted that she doesn't forbid him from accepting a challenge from them.

* WantedAGenderConformingChild: Downplayed when Catelyn learns Aegon is teaching swordfighting to Arya - she's not overjoyed to see her already tomboyish daughter becoming even less of a lady, but she's also aware it could mean life or death for Arya in the war-torn Westeros.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Amory Lorch is confused why Balerion is charging him for the crime leading his men on a campaign of RapePillageAndBurn on the peasants, believing as a noble, he has right to do whatever he wants with them. And when it seems like Balerion is going to execute him, he begs for his life and offers to kill Cersei's children, thinking Balerion wants revenge for the death if the Targaryen children only f if Balerion to reply he is no Tywin Lannister and would never stoop to such barbarity like him.

* VillainsWantMercy: Tregar begged Balerion to spare his life and follow by [[PleaseIWillDoAnything "I Will Do Anything!"]] after failing miserably to poison him. Balerion does forgives Tregar on the condition that he doesn't warn any other assassins about his immunity to poison or else he will have [[ImpliedDeathThreat one last visit with Tregar]].

* WrongGenreSavvy: Once Amory Lorch realise the Lannister army is going to lose to Balerion's forces, he thinks he can be spared by the Targaryens by killing Cersei's children, not realising that Balerion is not the kind of man who wants innocent children to suffer the sins of their parents.

* AppropriatedAppellation: Many Dragon Knights have tattoos of Dragons on their face since face tattoos were originally marks of shame to show that a person was a Essosi slave, but since Balerion freed the slaves and many of them joined his army, they redrew dragons on their tattoos as a mark of pride to show how their loyalty to Balerion for freeing them.

* AppropriatedAppellation: Many Dragon Knights have tattoos of Dragons on their face since face tattoos were original marks of shame to show that a person was a Essos slave but since Balerion freed the slaves and many of them join his army, they redrew dragons on their tattoos as a badge of pride to the show how they become free men and loyal soldiers of Balerion.

* MythologyGag: Arya Stark is taken under the wing of a towering, baddass warrior.

* EntertaininglyWrong: When a peasant couple confesses they found a newborn baby in the woods, Ser Brynden never imagines a possible connection to the recent meteorite fall since it's rather common for starving family to expose a child.
