Purple Days (ASOIAF) by baurus

From one day to the other, Joffrey Baratheon wakes up a changed man.

Far from the spoiled boy-child known to the court of King’s Landing, the Joffrey that comes out of his room three days after the death of John Arryn walks with the stride of a veteran commander and leader of men.

A scholar, a sea-captain, a general, a lover.

This is the story of how he became that man, and how he came to know his purpose through a cycle of endless death and rebirth that saw him explore both his self and the known world from Braavos to Sothoryios and from Old Town to Yi-Ti… and beyond. Collapse
