Bookmarker's Notes
Finally finished reading this story.
It's typos galore. There's not enough fleshing out of some of the characters, but it's a good read if you have time to kill and don't mind rushed inconsistencies. Catelyn, Margaery, and Aegon got dealt a bad hand in terms of characterization. The lack of conflict from the Tyrells is surprising. More could've been explored in this story with the Reach and Highgarden. -

Summary
A man from modern day America wakes up to find himself in Westeros, years before the show's start. As a fan (and to an extent, realist), how will he act according to the future he knows is coming?
I'm withholding any relationship tags or archive warnings to avoid giving too much of the game away. Hope you can forgive me!
*Currently on writing hiatus. As of 12/24/2024, 4k out of 100k words written. Sooo...this isn't the Christmas present/update I wanted to give you. Due to family life, unexpected happenstance and the general exhaustion of politics in 2024, I didn't write nearly as much as I usually do. Not even my own stuff. I do apologize for that.
With that, I still plan to finish this thing. I still plan to write the 100k words and I believe there's no reason I can't finish that in 2025. It will just be much later in 2025 than I was hoping. Again, my apologies. Have a good holiday if you can, everyone. See you for a later update. Hopefully with a much higher word count.

Summary
“So many vows, they make you swear and swear... Defend the king. Obey the king. Keep his secrets. Do his bidding. Your life for his. But obey your father. Love your sister. Protect the innocent. Defend the weak. Respect the gods. Obey the laws. It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or the other.”
In which Jaime Lannister chooses to forsake his vows... and saves the Kingdom in doing so.
Kingslayer, they call him.
But Rhaella Targaryen knows the truth.

Summary
There were many things that Edelgard did no know about this new world, but one thing had not changed: Her path would still be one covered in blood. She is the fire that will reforge the world, whether in the name of Adrestia or in the name of the Mother of Dragons. That much will be true in any world.

Summary
"I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment
Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

Summary
"This is the house that built me and I'm gonna burn it down." - Clementine von Radics, 'Courtney Love Prays to Oregon'.
If her husband ever hit her, Joanna would be sure to hit back. And then that night she’d welcome him between her legs, and slit his throat while he was at it. A little blood in the marriage bed is a natural thing, a maester once told Mother, as her complaints of the king’s roughness, his insistence on having her again so soon after the squirming, whining birth of Myrcella, were put to rest. Joanna was listening at the door. Men are brutal creatures, and women soft and delicate. It is unfortunate, but should be expected. Joanna still cries when she gets a cut, just softly and prettily, easily wiped away and forgotten. She does not cry at the sight of others’ blood. That is just the way of a lion, of any beast. They whine when they are hurt, but it does not mean they lose their appetite for meat.

Bookmarker's Notes
[I've always felt that had Cersei's first child been a power hungry daughter who didn't do much to disguise her ambition for the throne, the part of the famous Maggy the Frog prophecy concerning 'queen you shall be, until there comes another, younger and more beautiful' might take on a whole new meaning for her.]
Damn. I think you have a point. It would.

Summary
"Oh, maybe you were free,/Before my blackened wing covered you,/I took the sing from your song/I made a bed,/Where you don't belong." - Ben Howard, 'Esmerelda'.
“You are the Knight of the Laughing Tree. You disguised yourself as a man and entered the lists?” His tone is caught somewhere between skepticism and… wonder?
“Yes,” she nods in a clipped fashion.
His brow furrows. “Lady Eddara, why?”
“To avenge the honor of a friend,” she replies, and it is almost too easy to slip into the role. To… well, to pretend she were like Lyanna. That she did such wild things without hesitation. That she was so ironclad in her convictions. That she… that she still had dreams. It is alarmingly easy, to pretend.
(Hastily attempting to hide the evidence of her sister's brief time as the Knight of the Laughing Tree, Eddara Stark is discovered by Rhaegar. In an effort to spare Lyanna from Aerys' wroth, Edda claims the shield and armor as her own, and the next day, unwillingly claims a crown of winter roses as well.)

Only minutes young by dwellingondreams

Summary
"Mother said at birth, 'Boy, you better only take what you can hold.'/So I stood there in the sun, only minutes young/With love and mercy all around/And that's where we began." - Cotton Jones, 'Only Minutes Young'.
Sansa looks like a princess from a story; Tommen just gapes at the sight of her. Her ivory gown seems to glow through the light of those crystal windows he always found so pretty, and she’s wearing a grown woman’s skirts and bodice, not a little girl’s. Suddenly he feels even more a baby, cheeks stained apple red, averting his gaze in near shame until Mother jerks sharply on his arm and forces him to look back up again, at the waiting crowd filling the pews of the sept. The only thing that makes him feel any better is that her cloak seems just as big on her as his does on him. As though they were just playing a game. Cella and him used to dress up and play games, although they never pretended to be husband and wife. But maybe if he can pretend it is not real, and just a fancy, he will feel better.
(In which Sansa is wed to Tommen, not Tyrion).

Arya Stark is learning as much about her place in this world as much as she’s learning about how to love a woman. Sometimes it’s just as poignant to kill for them as it is to be able to be more than a killer for them.

So uh, while reading this on the forums, I didn't realize it was a guy stuck in Visenya's body even though the hints were there from the start.
Edit:
It has been clarified by the author that this is not the case. -
