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.

Summary
When Elizabeth Bennet receives word of Lydia’s scandal while visiting Derbyshire, her world begins to unravel. A death in the family soon follows, and with it, the weight of duty grows heavier than ever. Now living in London with her relatives, far from all she once knew, Elizabeth must navigate grief, social expectations, and an unexpected proposal.
She is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those she loves, but at what cost? Can love still bloom when honor demands sacrifice?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth is no longer the spirited girl we first met—grief, loss, and the burden of responsibility have altered her. And yet, even in her silence, her will to protect those she loves remains unbroken.
This is a tale of emotional survival, redemption, and the quiet power of enduring love.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you’ll find in this version of Elizabeth and Darcy something both familiar and new.

Summary
The moor stood empty and open before me, a thin mist hovering above. I saw no ruddy light of explosions; heard no cannonade, no sounds of gunfire. The quiet around me was broken only by the gusts of wind sweeping over the hill, startling the trees into loud rasping whispers. The battle would have lasted less than an hour. It must be over by now.
(Claire goes through the stones before the battle of Culloden but it does't quite work the way she and Jamie hoped)

Summary
In the wake of divorce, Claire Beauchamp, a battle fatigued veteran of the British Army, sells everything she owns and flies across the Atlantic for the chance at a quiet life in the wilds of the North Carolina foothills. She will be staying with an old patient and friend, Ian Murray, and his wife Jenny, on the grounds of their new business venture, Fraser's Ridge. There she meets James Fraser, horse trainer and former soldier, for the second time. Their passion quickly causes sparks to fly.
They will have to work hard to battle the elements, use their wits to keep their small business afloat, and help each other heal.
Note: This fic DOES mention some of the sexual assaults that are in line with what happened in the show canon. I will do my best to apprise you of when such a scene may trigger you.

Summary
This came out of a One Shot One Quote challenge and took on a life of it's own. I’ve had the idea for a while and only wanted to do a one shot, but the challenge gave me the push to actually write it.
Quote is: The sun glinted off his red mane and lit the tiny soft hairs that created his spine, running down to the reddish-gold fuzz that dusted his buttocks and thighs, and deepened into the thicket if soft auburn curls that showed briefly between his spread legs.
The Summary is:
Claire Beauchamp is sick of dating, sick of dressing up, of fake laughing at jokes that aren't funny with men who think they are better than they are. Geillis thinks it's because she's not being herself, so she challenges Claire to go on a date unapologetically as herself. Only good things can come of this and she's not nervous at all.... right?Bookmarked by Real_bat
