Summary
They run into each other by chance when he is running from the same queen she is set to kill. For Jaime, it is his chance to finally be done with that godsforsaken oath he swore to Catelyn Stark years ago. For Arya…well…she should hate him. But she has a rather bad habit of adopting strays.
Told in a series of drabbled snapshots and ficlets that get longer as the story unfolds because I just couldn't help myself.
But when you think about it, the chapters get longer the closer Arya and Jaime grow together so... it kinda works? idk

FICTION COMPLETELY REVISITED
"ORIGINAL SUMMARY OF 2020:.Rumors about the Last of us tv adaptation and about some actors who played in GOT and that could play Ellie and Joel, plus the dramatic pandemic situation we are all living into made me imagine this work...I'm starting slow and more than a crossover between the two worlds this is a GOT AU with references of a pandemic alternate universe involving Jaime and Arya."
If you're so kind, a comment is very appreciated.

Summary
March 17th 2026 Update: Varro Option #? LOL.
NOTE: This fic is a reinvention of ASoIaF/GoT (we pretend the S7/S8 disasters never happened). We pick up where the Arya/Faceless storyline left off in tWoW prologue, then merge into the universe of the TV Show, then this world. The fic will end with the ending of the Game of Thrones, and beyond.
A girl completes her training to become a faceless one. On the other side of the Narrow Sea, a man struggles not to fall in love with a memory. The two will meet again, this time as comrades-in-arms on a deadly mission. Other reunions are also inevitable, for Arya Stark has found a way to serve the Many-Faced God without surrendering her identity. How will the last of the Starks react to one of their own being an assassin? Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen moves on Westeros, a new King rises in the North, and everyone is still playing a Game no one can win...

Queen of Love and Beauty by LannisterQueen

Summary
She knew well she was no longer beautiful, yet it never weighted down on her poise or the way she carried herself, as neither did accusations of bastardy or recognizance of true parentage. Myrcella never deluded herself with thoughts of tourneys and flower crowns now; if those ever came, it would be but duty on her betrothed’s part to crown her such, never more. To crown an unsightly maiden Queen of Beauty would only ever be a jest, otherwise, and none would dare slight the young lioness so. Hers would be a flower crown of Duty and Courtesy, if it ever came, but she did not mind. There were many matters of greater importance than a crown of flowers handed over in a tourney, after all.

Summary
A self-indulgent fic, exploring how the universe would change if:
a) somebody actually cared about Stannis
b) Stannis was a failed three-eyed-crow (stealing from Perfidius Albion here)
c) Stannis and Renly actually had a decent relationship -
Succession of Wolves by mummersdragon

Summary
Stannis Baratheon has driven the Boltons out from Winterfell and back to the Dreadfort but at great loss. As his army recuperates at the Stark's ancestral seat, wolves rise with winter's coming. A boy is named king, a girl takes the burden of her name from another who has wrongfully suffered its weight, and a man returns from the dead in a new image. Each calls upon friends and allies to reclaim the North in the name of House Stark, but while they may join common cause in slaying the Boltons, will they be able to hold a North divided by the greatest question of all: if they can beat the Boltons, who rules next?
(or basically *my* version of the Stark succession crisis that I hope to come in TWOW)

Do you know what dogs do to wolves?
Arya is a wolf, and the Hound is dead. That’s what dogs do.
Die.
“Ramsay will die,” Arya says, sweet and tender as a lover’s whisper. “Littlefinger will die. Anyone who forced you to be me, changed you to be me; anyone who took a piece of you thinking you were me will die. This I swear to you.”
