Summary:

Oldtown Discord Prompt Event #5: Robert survives the boar attack. (150 words max)

Leaving the Vale post-trial, Tyrion has his name, life, a talented sellsword, and a pack of mountain clansmen. The Blackfish has a royal decree and a sword. We see who wins.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Somewhere near the Vale/Riverlands border

The battle was short. In the dark, Tyrion only saw the aftermath as he was dragged from his hiding bush.

Ser Brynden Tully was cleaning the blood off his sword with Bronn’s tunic.

“Is this how the mighty Blackfish won his knigthood? Slaughtering innocent men in their sleep?”

“Defenseless, not innocent.”

“I won my trial. Your nieces, with what little sense they had left, let me go. So much for Tully honor.”

Ser Brynden was amused. “I do not arrest you for your crimes, imp. But on the King’s orders.”

“Robert?” He disliked how surprised he sounded—how surprised he was.

“The raven met us at Gulltown. Your brother and sister languish in the Black Cells. How long have you known they were fucking each other?"

"A lie," Tyrion forced himself to say. Tommen, Myrcella. "My Father..."

The Blackfish grinned. "I look forward to taking him prisoner as well."

Notes:

So with this prompt, Robert doesn't die, Ned is able to tell him the truth (the details of what happens next don't really matter for this), and Catelyn and Brynden learn of this when they arrive in Gulltown on their way to meet back up with Robb. Robert sent a letter to every house in the Vale and Riverlands, calling for Tyrion's arrest on suspicions of treason.

The timeline of the Blackfish catching back up to Tyrion is probably unrealistic, but it was a fun pairing to have, I just couldn't pass it up. I had originally planned for Jaime to be really captured, but a very smart and kind person on the discord pointed out that Jaime had already fled KL by then, so now it's just Blackfish lying about Jaime's imprisonment to Tyrion.

I have no idea what else happens after this, except you can bet Blackfish certainly does capture Tywin ;)
