    Summary

    A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.

    No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.

    Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

    Summary

    What would you do in the villain’s place?

    An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.

    It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Maegelle Targaryen was not particularly pious.

    Once, she had been — or at least, a version of her had. That Maegelle prayed faithfully until the day she died, and no prayer saved her.

    She wakes again as a girl of ten, her mind burdened with knowledge of a future steeped in fire, grief, and quiet tragedies history would later dismiss as inevitable. Armed with memory rather than prophecy, Maegelle is trapped in a court where knowledge without power is its own kind of danger.

    Promised to the Faith before she was old enough to choose, she had been removed from the board without question — and with her, any chance to intervene when her family needed her most. Determined not to let history repeat itself, Maegelle sets out to delay, resist, and ultimately challenge the path laid out for her.

    She may not be able to stop every tragedy to come, but she can refuse to vanish quietly this time.

    Summary

    House Yronwood, in the wake of the Blackfyre Rebellion, is barely keeping its head above water. Once a great power in Dorne, they are now forced to bend to House Targaryen, offering reluctant obedience in exchange for survival. And the Targaryens accept… but they always want more.

    The last thing left to give is Calla, eldest daughter and heir, stripped of everything she was meant to inherit.

    And the man she is given to is no prize. Daeron Targaryen is a prince with a reputation for wine, women, and wasted potential.

    Their marriage is not one of choice, and it begins as badly as it possibly can.

    But he is not what she expected. She is not what he knows how to handle. From the very first moment, nothing between them fits the way it should.

    The realm calls it duty.

    It will not stay that simple for long.

    Summary

    An unnatural storm in 1815 throws a British regency-era naval expedition, and the troops they carry, into the world of Westeros at the outbreak of the War of Five Kings, trapping them in a life-or-death struggle to survive, and find their way home. Written as a thought experiment - how would an early 19th century military and political force change Westeros? How would Westeros change them?
