Summary
When the Ironborn burn Lannisport, they think they’ve broken the lions and bloodied the realm. But Stannis Baratheon does not forgive, and he does not forget. With the fleets of the Reach and the Arbor at his back, he sails west to end the Drowned God’s raiders once and for all.
Fair Isle will see fire, salt, and blood as Baratheon discipline collides with Ironborn fury. Ships will burn. Brothers will fall. Banners will break.
And when the smoke clears, only one fleet will rule the western seas.
(Or, Stannis Baratheon finally gets the justice and due diligence he talks about all the time)Series

Summary
“You are here because I require… consultation,” Stannis said, the word escaping him like a curse.
Davos managed not to smile. Melisandre nodded, serene as a priest at a funeral. Selyse looked confused.
“Diplomacy,” Stannis muttered, stalking the hearth as if it might be plotting against him. “Robert had charm. Renly has… whatever it is he has. I have justice. Or so I am endlessly reminded.” He skewered Davos with a look. “Ser Davos, what is your opinion of my charm?”
Davos cleared his throat. “You are… direct, Your Grace. Folk respect that. Mostly.”
“‘Mostly,’” Stannis repeated, voice as dry as salt. “And when they do not?”
“Then they are like to remember what happened to those who forgot it.”
Stannis allowed the faintest flicker of satisfaction—if that’s what it was, or perhaps just a muscle spasm—then squared his shoulders like a man about to sentence the concept of small talk to death.
“Let us begin,” he declared, “Pretend you are a lord in need of convincing. I will practice... persuasion.” He made the word sound like it tasted of vinegar.
(Or, Stannis Baratheon attempts to practice the art of diplomacy. No one is safe. Least of all his dignity.)

Summary
“When a lion burns the gods, who remembers what grows from the ash?”
Several years before the events of Game Of Thrones, Jaime Lannister rides west to handle a minor rebellion. What he finds instead is a boy with a carved lion, a godswood destined for fire, and a page in the White Book that will not write itself.
In the shadow of Tywin’s legacy, Jaime must choose what kind of man he’ll become—if there's anything left of him to choose (and yes Tywin Lannister is Hand because it works. Jon Arryn took a little vacation for one year).
A pre-canon character study of power, memory, and the cost of wearing the white cloak.Featuring: Ned Stark’s judging everyone, Robert Baratheon’s anger, and one burned house that won’t quite stay silent.)

The Emperor’s Day Off (or, How the Empire Almost Collapsed in 24 Hours) by LordOfWinterfell for GummyLove, applewithfaces

Summary
No one could remember the last time the Emperor had taken a day off.
Certainly not Grand Moff Tarkin, who had known Sheev Palpatine back when he was still fond of subtlety and the color burgundy. Nor could Mas Amedda, who’d spent three decades at the Sith’s right hand, ever recall the Emperor scheduling “personal time.” Even Darth Vader, who kept his own counsel and wore his own grief, seemed a little off-kilter—if, in fact, a cybernetic murder-machine could be off-kilter.
So when the memo arrived, it set off a chain reaction that would have done credit to a rebel sabotage team.
MEMORANDUM
From: The Desk of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Palpatine
Subject: Temporary AbsenceThe Emperor will be unavailable for 24 standard hours.
Orders are to continue as normal.
Any inquiries will be logged and reviewed upon His return.
Do not disturb.
(Featuring: loyalty pledges, mouse droid coups, bureaucratic nightmares, and a rumor about Sith knitting that just won’t die.)

Summary
“I have news,” Catelyn said, her voice steady, if only just, as she clutched the letter in the frost-lit solar. “A letter from King’s Landing. From the king himself.”
Catelyn glanced at Arya, then back to Sansa. “King Robert and your father fought together in the rebellion. They were brothers in arms before they were lord and king. It is an honor for Winterfell to host him and his family. You must remember that, both of you.”
Sansa’s eyes sparkled, her voice eager. “Will we meet the queen, Mother? Will Prince Joffrey notice me?”
Arya slouched, boots trailing mud, tone sharp. “Why does everyone care so much about princes? They probably never get muddy or climb trees.”
—
“I am the prince,” Joffrey declared, his voice sharp as he straightened in the carriage, lion pin gleaming. “When I get to Winterfell, I’ll make Robb Stark yield before the feast is done. I’ll make them all bow.”Cersei’s lips curved, her gaze cold as winter. “Clever lions wait, Joff. Wolves may kneel, but not if you show your claws too soon.”
(Or perhaps the North’s daughters will prove stronger than southern crowns, and a lion’s pride will falter in the snow…)

“No,” Liet said, and she felt her mouth quirk upwards, even as the princess looked back with wide, nervous eyes. “You, Princess Irulan, must court my daughter.”
Or: Princess Irulan travels to Arrakis in secret, to broker peace between the Fremen and the Empire. She gets more than she bargained for.

"You know Himiko Toga?”
“Isn’t she the murdery horror movie girl?”
“Yeah, well, she’s obviously more than that. Y’know, musically talented, bold personality, unnaturally photogenic.”
Ochako nodded along,“Okay. What about her?”
“You’re going to date her.”
Her world came to a halt. Somewhere outside she heard a honk, someone shouted. Ochako blinked dumbly.
She chuckled a bit, “I beg your pardon?”

Idiots, lackwits and imbeciles - The Trials of Rickard Stark trying to save Westeros from Incompetence by RickardOnARoll (IncognitoMe)

Summary
„Lord Rickard demanded trial by combat, and the king granted the request. Stark armored himself as for battle, thinking to duel one of the Kingsguard. Me, perhaps. Instead they took him to the throne room and suspended him from the rafters while two of Aerys's pyromancers kindled a blaze beneath him. The king told him that fire was the champion of House Targaryen. So all Lord Rickard needed to do to prove himself innocent of treason was ... well, not burn.“
Jaime Lannister, A Clash of Kings
But what if he did not burn?
Rickard Stark survives the attempt at burning him because the pyromancers could not tie a proper knot.
Watch as he fixes the realm, his family and shit in general from the overall incompetence of kings, lords, knights and other idiots. For though the king may be a mad lackwit, his subjects at least should have a shot at peace and happiness.
