Summary
The Stormlands of Westeros. One of the smallest kingdoms of the continent, and one of the most turbulent. The people who lived there were proud, hardy - and at times, quarrelsome.
For centuries, it and its people were ruled by House Baratheon, whose motto was Ours Is the Fury. But rebellion, treachery, and fratricidal anger destroyed this house, leaving three brothers and their families dead. Some tried to claim control of the Stormlands, but for much of the past eight years, they were all but leaderless.
However, with the restoration of House Targaryen as rulers of all Westeros, the new High King and Queen have appointed a new High Lord of the Stormlands - an unknown young man, the bastard son, now legitimized, of the infamously licentious and dissolute King Robert Baratheon. He would be joined by his wife, the infamous daughter of a great house of the North. She was the subject of many dark tales of how she had pursued vengeance and justice for her wronged family in the years of war and danger.
Now, the highborn and smallfolk alike await the arrival of their new High Lord and Lady, as they travel to an unknown land to them - a land that, whether for good or ill, will be their new home.

Summary
For three years, she ignored the way she clung to updates about him from her brother, every little piece of his life he didn’t share with her in the course of a hookup. She disregarded the tightening in her chest and the fluttering in her stomach when they were together, noticing that he never stopped noticing her, anticipating her desires and giving them to her without her having to ask. And she refused to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t only about sex — not for her, and maybe not for him either.
And that’s, of course, how she ended up here: huddled over a cauldron in the bathroom of her tiny flat, trying to work up the courage to prick her finger and pinch a drop of blood into the potion.

Summary
After the tragic deaths of her parents, Arya leaves her private school in the North to stay with Jon in King's Landing. Under the impression that she needs to be closer to family during this difficult time, Arya begins to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the loss of her mother and father and finds, as she suspected, that everything is not as it seems. Seeking revenge she concocts a plot to expose the deep-seated corruption in the Baratheon presidency. Things only get more complicated when Jon's new roommate (and old friend) offers to help; Gendry Waters may not believe in Arya Stark's plan but he has some secrets of his own that just may be what Arya needs to take down the President.
Modern AU. If King's Landing was Washington, DC...

Summary
Arya Stark had always been ever so curious (among other things), she could always be found snooping into things she shouldn’t and it usually tended to land her into trouble, but that never stopped her. Though, she supposed that it should have, as she may even be going a bit too far to satiate her curiosity-- what with her donning boy’s clothes and breaking into a Duke’s house in the middle of the night.
