This is the GOT romance you didn't know you wanted. This is the story of how Lord Gendry Baratheon met Lady Meera Reed.
***
Yesterday he was a bastard and a blacksmith. Today he's a lord.
Gendry Baratheon has never had anything. No last name, no fam...
So since we're getting to the council in the Dragon Pit (the worst scene in an already terrible season..) I figured I would present my version of who was there at the council. Luckily (or lazily by the show writers...) there are several unnamed people there which gives me some room to get creative.
So here we go! Let's go around the table! (or podium as it were)
Remember this scene? (I wouldn't blame you if you purposely have forgotten it)
I've underlined the names of the characters that I've put there myself. I've named the others too though as I figured it might be fun for people reading this who haven't watched the show.

Samwell Tarly
Howland Reed!!! Yep, this is Howland Reed and I won't accept any arguments against. He was there. The man is wearing Northern garb and is of the right age so it makes sense.
Edmure Tully

Arya Stark: Yep there she is, the girl who broke Gendry's heart.
Bran Stark: Or if you are to believe Meera, which really you should, he is not Bran Stark anymore. He's something else.
Sansa Stark

Brienne of Tarth
Davos Seaworth
GENDRY FUCKING BARATHEON: Our savior and hero!
Tyrek Lannister: Yeah he is a bit older than I described him. But in this story, Tyrek really should be here as I made him the head of his house (especially since Tyrion is the one being held prisoner). This guy fits the description the best so he gets to play the part here (but I've cast him with Daniel Sharman in the cast list).

Paxter Redwyne: Since House Redwyne is related to House Tyrell both by blood and marriage (Paxter is married to his cousin who is Olenna's daughter) it makes sense for them to take Highgarden after their fall.
Yara Greyjoy
Quentyn Martell: Doesn't die in the show so he can totally show up here and bring some Dornish flair. (he looks a bit too old but really he's the only Dornish man I can make somewhat fit)

Robin Arryn: This guy is about to step into this story soon...
Yohn Royce
Wyman Manderly: Was played by another actor in the show... but they look close enough and it would make sense for House Manderley to be there.
