    "You Westerosi are all the same. You sew some beast upon a scrap of silk, and suddenly you are all lions or dragons or eagles".

    Well, Illyrio Mopatis was right on the money with that one.

    Summary

    After Prince Jon fled to the Wall, his father began a desperate search in Essos. When he returned, he had a new Queen by his side, the location of his son... and a kingdom wracked with political instability. When Rhaegar rides North, his three Queens are left to try to hold Westeros together... and deal not only with squabbling nobles, starving smallfolk, and an enraged Faith, but with something even closer to home.

    A string of poisonings hits the Red Keep, and an unlikely collection of detectives must stop them before the chaos around the Iron Throne becomes too great to control.

    Summary

    Elia looked at her incredulously. “And you expect me to marry him and straighten this all out? Why would he listen to a thing I have to say?”

    “He won’t. Your job is to make him listen, Elia. And of all the eligible maidens who will be put forth to him as potential second wives, you are cunning enough to do it.”

    “A viper may strike at a lion and poison it,” Elia reasoned darkly, “But a poisoned lion can still kill the viper with a single swipe of his paw.”

    “There’s my wise girl,” Mother smiled. “But perhaps the viper will not have to strike at the lion at all.”

    (Elia Martell becomes the Lady of Casterly Rock due to her mother's machinations. Robarra Baratheon becomes a princess due to a demand for a bride of Targaryen blood. The seeds of rebellion are planted all the same.)

    Summary

    One of Renly's earliest memories was of Robert threatening to beat the tears from his eyes. Stannis had replied that Renly had not eaten a full meal in a year on account of Robert's fool rebellion, and if Robert struck Renly, then Stannis would strike Robert.

    Later, Stannis had beaten the tendency to weep from Renly himself, but Stannis and Robert's relationship had never recovered from that first, shocking display of fraternal defiance.

    Summary

    "I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood."
    A Feast for Crows, Chapter 11

    Robert Baratheon died quickly--his rebellion, less so. The scattered army of the Trident knows better than bend a knee and pray for a dragon's mercy. And so begins the fight for scraps between the royalists and the rebels...
    Edit as of chap. 32: This story is my analysis of RR characters if they lived to see the consequences of their actions. Questions that are/will be raised—how did Lyanna react when she learned her father and Brandon had died? If Rhaella survived, what would her relationship be to Rhaegar? If Tywin does not order the deaths of Elia and her children, would the Martells focus their anger instead on Rhaegar and/or Aerys? How will Jaime mature without the “Kingslayer” name? How would Catelyn’s character change if she was confronted with how the patriarchy fails her sooner in her life? What was the relationship between Lyanna and the 3 Kingsguard? How would young Stannis view his duty to his liege with no Robert? What exactly were Rhaegar’s changes to be made that he mentioned to Jaime? The list goes on…so, if any of these questions interests you, welcome!
