Summary
“Is this really about Atem being gone, Kaiba? I get the feeling there’s more to it than that. You can’t run away from your issues forever.”
Seto stiffens, trying to figure out how to play it off insouciantly. “Don’t be absurd. You ever know me to run away from a challenge? I’m not running away from anything! I’m just…accompanying you to ensure your acquisition of optimal produce, Yugi. It’s called smart shopping.”
In the wake of Atem’s departure, Seto submits, however unwillingly, to the inevitability of therapy. There, he contends with the fracture of his identity and the looming shadow of Gozaburo’s legacy. What begins as reluctant introspection reshapes the very ethos of KaibaCorp while unsettling the walls he has meticulously maintained, through which an unforeseen and disquieting force slips past. One that demands he permits himself what he has long denied through stubborn ascesis; to be loved.
Above all, he must confront the unavoidable question: who is Seto Kaiba without the Pharaoh?

Summary
He sighed and collapsed into his armchair. Even from across the room, she could feel in her bones the putrid smell of ale on his breath. "I don't want to. I have to."
"What?" she asked
He had a dead look in his eyes. If she didn't know better, she may have been speaking to a living corpse. "I can't win. I can't escape. I can't scheme my way out. The Old Gods have cursed me to do this over and again, on until there's nothing left to lift the sword. I shatter myself against the walls, on and on, until it's over or I've gone mad in trying to do the impossible. The only escape is death, and I can never die."

Summary
Before Ned Stark is executed, he begs a request of Ser Barristan Selmy, that he protect Sansa from Joffrey Baratheon. When he is removed from the Kingsguard, Barristan elects to keep his oath, and smuggles Sansa to safe harbor in Pentos, intent on waiting out the already-brewing civil war in Westeros. Accompanied by Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden, they soon find themselves in the retinue of another Westerosi exile—Daenerys Targaryen.
OR
Daenerys begins to wonder just when it is that she began collecting Starks, and how many she'll have by the time she actually lands on Westeros.

Summary
"Do you want to be Queen?"
"No, I want to be THE Queen."
The thrice-wedded, never-bedded Margaery Tyrell, in canon, was a queen slain long before her time, despite her careful politicking. As oft said, "When you play the Game of Thrones you win, or you die." How will a self-insert survive the horrors of dragonflame, frostbite, and/or death at the hands of angry lords, in the body of a medieval woman, to win the Game of Thrones?
