    Summary

    ""Who are you?" She ground out, the icy words slicing through the air.

    That arrow could punch straight through my chest. And she knows it.

    As if reading his mind, the girl's mouth twisted into a smirk, "You really shouldn't test me. It'd be a shame to ruin such a fine body for such a simple question."

    Rhaegar hoped the shadows aided him in the lies he was about to tell.

    "We are landless knights from the South. We heard rumors of increased wildling attacks along the Wall and figured we'd take it upon ourselves to help protect the greatest part of the Seven Kingdoms. What knight doesn't wish for wild adventures in the snow?"

    The girl scoffed, but lowered her bow. "If you're landless knights, then I'm the Maiden herself. That flowery speech will get you nothing but trouble here.""

    **

    After avoiding an undesirable betrothal, the Crown Prince is sent to spy on the Starks for the King, who is convinced the Warden of the North plans treachery. Rhaegar finds there is more to the North than endless snow, Lyanna is exhausted by duty in a male-dominated world, while Ned struggles with a conflicted heart and Rickard looks to his legacy.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    “There are a great many stories about you from one land to another.” Her eyes flitted down, a foolish fault but one she knew he would catch. 

    “And what might those be?” As if she didn’t know half of them, her voice came out sharply, whispered in low land taverns and high halls. 

    His voice became if it were possible, more gentle. “Some men I knew from Edoras said Theoden’s daughter was a changeling from Fangorn. Years ago they said you were a weak child, likely to die in infancy, but of course, that was not so.” He said, eyes heavy-lidded, considering her, trying to find the truth in all the tales that were spun surrounding her.

    “You know what men are like with their stories,” she retorted, turning away from the painting to a tall stone statue, a broken sword laid across its arms like a funeral shroud.

    Currently being rewritten. Originally titled Shield of Stars.
