[@MrDidact] I'm still here. And I haz an idea for the Mychel side of the plot.
[hider=secret stuffz]I'm liking the idea of showing Mychel become a Tywin Lannister sort of political monster before Tyrion's very eyes. Seeing his good intentions (for the people of the Vale) and his increasing fascination with the scheming styles of Tywin and Tyrion turn him from a kind, honest young lord into an extreme pragmatist willing to kill family for "the good of the realm".

Also, how do you feel about a "Mychel is in fact a bastard and Cronun is Harry's son" plot twist?[/hider]
