    Summary

    Tywin appears before Ned's trial and reveals information that makes Ned immediately accept the terms to join the Lannisters against Baratheon brothers while also coping with Catelyn's death in attack by an assassin sent for Bran. One of those terms is that Ned, now a widower, marries Cerse and takes her to Winterfell while agreeing to fight on Lannister side. A book borrowed from Winterfell library by Tyrion makes Ned question everything he learned from Jon Arryn's work.

    We are following the Starks and Cersei adapting to new reality. All while Winter is Coming.

    It is my take on the series, which means we will also see a war for Joffrey's throne, a War for Dawn and its aftermath. You can expect other characters' POV's. But, it is loaded with Ned/Cersei romantic story. If you are interested why there must be a Stark in Winterfell, who the Night King is, who Azor Ahai is, and the War for Dawn, and you want to see GRRM's work wrapped up through three Stories, this is story for you too.

    Young characters are aged up.

    Summary

    The Story is set after Cersei's offer to Ned in the Godswood. Just as Ned prepares to tell Robert of his bastards, he receives news that his own two sons Rickon and Bran died from a fever. His father and brother died physically in KL, and Ned dies metaphorically after a moral downfall that follows the news: he goes to Cersei's Chambers angry and in need of relief, not expecting Cersei is playing a game as well. He becomes her hostage, as he rules the 7 kingdoms in Joffrey's name as his Regent. Winter is really coming and it is soon hitting them as greater players, Lady Made of Light and the Great Other begin the final War. Lady Made of Light is raising her champions (the first of which are Jon, Robb, Daenerys, Arya and Shireen), and their mentors (amongst whom are Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy and Melisandre) are in search for them, before the Great Other breaks them or makes them his puppet like Euron Greyjoy. Will they join the fight or refuse the call? The first champion almost fully broken is Bran connected in mind with Bloodraven even as his body is placed in a tomb. Will be an alternative take on all 5 books.

    Summary

    The Winter Soldier knows the redhead is special from the moment he sets his eyes on her. At first glance, all eight Black Widows that he’s been sent to train look the same. They all dress in black clothes covering all but their fingers, necks, and heads. No chance of a soulmark accidentally showing during a sparring match. They all wear their hair in braids. One stands out. Out of the eight, the redhead is the only one looking at him without fear or determination in her eyes. She merely looks curious.

    *************

    An exploration of the bond between soulmates and the people around them. To quote Nat: Rules are meant to be broken.

    Summary

    Her eyes were wide and alert as she stared up at him. Fear warring with determination and hunger. Her lovely features shifted as each emotion fought for dominance. He should order her to leave. Tell her that she shouldn’t risk her future by coming here. He didn’t. He couldn’t get a word out when Natalia looked at him like that. His own bottomless hunger wouldn’t allow it.
    The Soldier took a step back. Not in retreat, as an invitation.

    Bucky and Natasha meet in the Red Room and again after when they are free of it. Or me working through my recurring writer's block by writing smut, angst, and fluff instead of plot.

    Summary

    “I…” she started, still looking for the right words to start the inevitable conversation ahead. She couldn’t back out now, he already knew something was up. “How do you feel about… kids?” she asked gingerly. Clearly he wasn’t expecting anything along those lines because he was speechless for a few seconds. Eight long seconds. She counted.

    or natasha telling james she's pregnant and him being overjoyed.
