    Summary

    A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense

    Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.

    Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.

    Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.

    All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.

    She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.

    Summary

    The Long Night has ended, but the world is broken. Bran the Builder struggles to raise a Wall strong enough to hold back the dead, while across the sea an island drifts into the Bay of Seals — a castle of stone and silence, hiding a girl no one remembers and a dragon not meant to exist.

    OR

    Bran builds for the living, Haddie endures for herself — and fate brings them to the same shore.

    NOTE: This is Part 2 of 7 and meant to be read in order.

    Summary

    Some would call foreknowledge an unfair advantage when playing the game of thrones. It was less so when one needed to not only hatch dragons anew to Westeros, but also navigate the Blackfyre Rebellions - an era for which said foreknowledge has very little use.

     

    (Or, a self-insert fic that will not include the following: industrial revolutions, perfect schemes, pristine morals, and bashing. No prior knowledge of this era required to read.)

    Summary

    When Gabrielle Delacour breathed her last, she did not expect to be reborn as a dragon-riding Valyrian princess. With Valyrian genetics and her Veela looks from her previous life, Gabrielle–now Daenerys–finds herself mired in a world more treacherous and bloody than the last. Armed with her magic, Daenerys will eat her hand before becoming another Helen of Troy. But it seems the Targaryen men around her say otherwise…

    Or

    Wherein the Dance of Dragons was not fought over the Iron Throne, but for the hand of Princess Daenerys.

    Summary

    Life can be disconcerting and can change faster than the tides of the winds.

    But memory doesn’t change, and love doesn’t fade.

    New chances can become one’s worst nightmare, or prove to be one’s heaven.

    The Gods, silent and unrelenting, have sent her back in time, and yet, she feels torn, for ever wandering between times and fates.

    The Red Wolf stalks the woods of the Realm, leaving prints of stone on dry ink, smudging the corners of fate to better the Realm.

    I am Sansa Stark of Winterfell, this is my home and you can’t frighten me.
