    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

    Summary

    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...

    Summary

    Everything is falling apart. Bran has taken a terrible fall and he's in critical condition. Arya's boyfriend might be grooming her. Ned and Catelyn are getting closer and closer to finding out about Sansa's not-so-legal relationship with her teacher.

    And on top of that, Rickon won't accept that stilettos aren''t acceptable to wear to the second grade.

    How the hell will the Stark get out of this one?

     

    THIS STORY IS DISCONTINUED. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT IT WILL BE UPDATED.

    Summary

    "You’re not as invisible as you think,” Bronn said as though that was all any woman wanted to hear. “Hard to miss as it happens, long as you know what to look for.” Arya had forgotten the sellsword was a piss taker. Nobody saw her unless she wanted them to. 

    “Oh, and now I’ve got you wondering what it is that gives you away?” Arya waited, not caring what he’d say. “Well I’ll tell ya. It’s this weird feeling I get whenever I know that you’re watching me.” 

    “And what kind of feeling is that?’ Arya asked, standing tall in spite of Bronn’s proximity.

    “Arousal,” he said, just as she’d expected. Almost whispering in her ear, Bronn carried on: “Like I’m doing something that I really shouldn't be doing ‘cos it’s all kinds of wrong.”

    –––

    Or, Arya challenges Bronn for the title of 'Best Fighter in Winterfell'.

    Summary

    "I love you, Jon. You make me happy, anything you and I create together, the life we will live. That will make me happy too," Arya confessed, she looked into his eyes, for the eyes revealed everything.

    "I love you too, Arya, I will always love you," Jon replied, cupping her face. Arya gave him another quick kiss, before rolling off the man, on his side, cuddling into him. This, Arya would soon realise, was happiness.

    Summary

    Having her beside him soothes him somehow. He came back - strange, he knows it deep down. He finds he does not tire, he's slept for less than two hours each night since the Red Priestess brought him back, and yet he feels no weariness, no exhaustion. He finds he does not hunger more than once every other day, he finds he does not thirst. If it wasn't for the fact that he could put his hand to his chest and feel his beating heart, he'd believe himself dead still. He glances at her, knows he's going to have to explain. Mind you -
    "You said you'd killed a man," he says, breaking the silence. Her lips curve in a cold, mirthless smile.
    "I've killed a lot of men," she answers. "I imagine you have too."
    "Strictly speaking, they weren't all men."
    "No, me neither," she says.

    In his fury and grief Jon pulled his dagger and cut his palm. The blood dripped from the fresh wound falling over Arya’s dead body.
    “If it was blood what you wanted...Have mine.” Jon said with his heart broken. “A King’s blood. Blood of the First Men...The Red Good can bring the dead back to life...I’m not asking much. Just this girl. Give me Arya back.”

    Summary

    Let's talk about the Starks. Take a moment to be overwhelmed by the utter, inescapable perfection of this family. Catelyn and Ned Stark are madly in love. They have five beautiful and talented children. Their eldest son, Robb, is a student at one of the top universities in the world. He plans on taking over the family business and making his parents proud. Their oldest daughter, Sansa, is destined to follow in his footsteps, and is considered the most eligible bachelorettes in the UK. Their youngest daughter, Arya, is headed toward a professional dance career. Their second son, Bran, has every teacher in the district cooing over his precocious intellect and their youngest, Rickon, is already displaying profound leadership skills.

    And this summer, they come together for tears, laughter, and the occasional dead body.

    Robb is in love with his cousin and has dated half the women in England. Sansa's boyfriend has literal skeletons in his closet. Arya will do anything and anyone to get ahead. Bran is being stalked by a delusional drug addict. Rickon is a bully and a creeper. Jon, of course, has to deal with all of them.
