    Summary

    Rhaenyra was never meant to claim the Iron Throne. The realm, forged in fire and fear, would never bow to a queen. The gods knew this, and so they sent her dreams, not as omens of surrender but as echoes of another fate. She would not fall to her brother’s flame.

    Instead, she would rise beyond ruin, unbound by prophecy or patriarchy, and carve a new path through time itself. In her defiance, fire would meet frost, dragons would dance with wolves. Through unity, not conquest, she would forge the realm anew, tempered and ready for the shadow creeping from the far North.

    Summary

    Four years have passed since King Viserys the Peaceful breathed his last and from his lineage, two great powers have taken shape. One known across the world is that of his son Aegon who sits the Iron Throne and rules the seven kingdoms, yet far to the east hidden behind the veil of superstition and seclusion, a greater power grows in the shadow as Rhaenyra Targaryen sits the Dragonglass Throne and rules over the Valyrian Empire.
    These past years the Empire has lived in the peace of their hidden paradise, reshaping the recovered powers of the long-dead Freehold, but now the prosperity of their hidden realm is challenged when fate begins to force them from the shadows that have long protected them and the time is fast approaching when the world will see the Empire in all its might.

    Summary

    In a tale woven with the heat of dragonfire and the chill of impending doom, Baela and Jace’s love becomes a beacon of hope—one that will either burn out or light the way in the darkest of times.

     

    (The story is a mix of both book and show canon. It continues from where season two left off. Also this fic is basically a fix-it.)

    Summary

    “The gods are watching, Larys Strong,” he’d been told all his life. By his father, the people, the septons, his bastard sister. He’d believed them all liars when he sent his men to burn his father and his brother. If cursed be the kinslayer, then why was he allowed to stand and continue to live? Why was he not judged there, on the spot?

    He had still believed them liars at the end, when he knelt before Lord Cregan Stark and his sword Ice, when he made his last request. “I’ll be going to warmer hells, if it please you,” he’d told the man, for at least the hells that would welcome him would be warmer than King’s Landing in that awful winter.

    The place he occupied was not the warmer hell he’d envisioned.

    Summary

    Nella Rose Potter, the Girl Who Lived.
    Under the stairs at the moment, though not for long. She's about to receive a letter that will make things a whole lot worse before they get better.
     ***

    “I am not in the habit of returning house points once they have been lost, Miss Potter. Among us little people at least, choices have consequences. If that’s all —”

    “It’s not that, sir,” she hastened to explain, surprising him once more. Most students were only too eager to latch onto anything that resembled a dismissal from his presence, and no one — ever — interrupted him. “I-I understand. I just… I live with my aunt and uncle, you see. They’re muggles.”

    Snape didn’t answer, but the girl plowed doggedly on.

    “Well, th-there was an a-accident at the end of the summer, sir. S-some of my potions ingredients spilled in my trunk, and I didn’t know w-what to do... M-my relatives thought I might get help at school?”

    She swallowed hard, then reached into her bag and pulled out a horror of a textbook. The entire mold-stained cover slid off as she moved to set it on his desk, and a handful of ragged pages scattered as the book block landed on his desk with a damp thud.

    Summary

    They sought her out for conversation sometimes, cornering her in the garden or at the park, not that they ever had much to say. Really, Harriet thought snakes were rather dull.

    ---------

    Harriet Potter has always been odd. Between having a shadow that moves on its own and chatting with grass snakes, learning she's a witch really isn't the strangest thing to happen to the bespectacled girl with a lightning scar on her neck.

    Harriet attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she makes new friends, encounters a prickly Potions Master, learns about the Boy Who Lived, and meets the enigmatic Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor, Professor Tom Slytherin.

    Summary

    "It seems so lonely," Harriet says - thinking, despite herself, of all of the times she'd seen Aunt Petunia's eyes searching the empty spaces around her. Of the way they'd never actually caught on the little cricket only Harriet, seemingly, had been able to see. "A life without your daemon."
    "Aye," Hagrid nods - a faraway look in his eyes. "I reckon it is, love."

    Or: the Harry Potter series, starring always-a-girl!Harry and her daemon, Heddwyn.

    Summary

    "Morgan Potter, who was apparently Petunia’s niece, was an oddity. She was neither playful nor loud, as many of the children were; she was no great genius — in fact she did rather poorly in school; and even those adults who met her randomly on the streets of Little Whinging thought her expressionless face and cold green eyes intimidating. Only the irascible, old crackpot Mrs. Figg ever treated her with kindness, for the neighbourhood children were cruel and Morgan was, by all accounts, quite small for her age, and very, very odd."

    A re-imagining of my original fanfiction, Mors Aeterna, Part One.

    Summary

    What if the man's cloak had been white instead of black?

    What if he had taken her east instead of north?

    What if she was an old squire's page instead of an orphan boy?

    It is Ser Barristan Selmy who helps Arya Stark escape King's Landing, in spite of all sense, in spite of the voices telling him not to, in spite of their diverging paths. He saves her, because that's what true knights do, isn't it?

    If only it were that simple.

    TL;DR - Arya goes to Essos two books early, seeking a dragon queen instead of a death cult.

    Summary

    She followed his lead, got to her knees and lit a candle. Ran her fingers through the flame and let her shoulders slump.

    She turned to him, mouth flat. “What will you pray for?”

    He looked at her, hair darker than the flame, the bump of his nose small. He said nothing, but he never looked away. It was enough.

     

     

    The hate gets suffocating after a time, threatens to choke her between the silks of her bed and let the meat from her bones rot until she is unrecognizable. Hating the Queen has made Rhaenyra into a different person, more dragon than girl, her skin turning from satin to scales. Hating her half-brother has made her into a tyrant, willing to kill a babe if it meant the threat of disinheritance would disappear.

    But hating the Queen’s brother, it has made her so much worse.
