Hermione didn’t reply. Harry rolled his eyes. It wasn’t the first time; she loved her work.
“Hermione?”
Still nothing. He peered over her book and-
She was fast asleep!

Summary
What if Ned wasn't beheaded in King's Landing and Catelyn didn't die at the Red Wedding? Just over two years ago I asked myself those questions, and with the encouragement of some wonderful people I started this story.
This story takes place entirely in the canon universe, diverging from GRRM's epic at two points--Ned's execution and Catelyn's murder at the Twins--and examines all the ways that the survival of these two people might have changed events both large and small in the world of Westeros. The ripples have far reaching consequences for many throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but at its heart, this is a story of two people, their marriage, their family, and the North.

Bookmarker's Notes
A wonderfully written story that somehow manages to balance all the main POV's and make each feel like a main character in their own right. The author brilliantly captures the scale and often harsh brutality of George's world. There are many exciting twists and turns and some really beautiful reunions the had me tearing up at 3am in bed lol.
If there is one teeny tiny complaint it would be that I'd have preferred a more concrete ending for the White Walkers, but I also recognise that's not the main point of this fic and in any case what we got was still great in its own right.
Overall, a brilliant fic for any ASOIAF fans looking for Stark content.

Bookmarker's Notes
A wonderfully written, wholesome short story for one of my favourite rare(ish)-pairs, Harry/Gabrielle. It has great pacing, good character development and a lot of heart. What's not to like?
