    Summary

    The War of the Five Kings has erupted. Robert Baratheon had died, and his disputed succession has plunged the Seven Kingdoms into bloodshed. Ned Stark is dead, executed in King’s Landing. Lyarra Snow flees the capital with her half-sister Arya, embarking on the long journey north.

    War has come to Westeros, in all its horror. The Game of Thrones carries on, with its stakes never being higher. In the end, vendettas and justice will swallow some houses whole. Autumn has come, and men fall like leaves on the fields of war.

    In the North, wildlings march south in a vast host for the first time in generations, intent on passing the wall. In Essos, dragons stir and grow alongside their mother. All around her, men kneel and vow vengeance in her name.

    Westeros is broken, and only iron and blood will make it whole once more. But the worst is yet to come.

    Summary

    Quen felt peculiar up on the dais, flanked by stags and lions and wolves.

    The Usurper had once been a formidable man, with blazing eyes and a massive war hammer. Now, he was just a red-faced fat man, a pathetic drunk who ate as gracefully as a half-starved hog.

    His Queen seemed to be a perpetually unhappy woman. Cersei Lannister was as beautiful as the singers said, though the woman had all the warmth of a dead fish.

    She might have done well in the north, Quen thought, almost pitying.

    (Or: The gods in their blind malice give Theon the feeble body of a woman.)

    Summary

    Thea was allowed to hug her mother and sister goodbye one last time and dress in simple traveling clothes before being ferried away from home. Lord Stark was gentle, and had her ride with him down to the docks instead of the common soldiers, but she was still a prisoner of war. Her father had waged a war and lost, and despite the fact she had no part in it, she would pay the price for it.

    ———

    Or, Theon Greyjoy is born a girl. Such a small, trivial difference at first glance, but it ends up changing far more than anyone could ever imagine.

    Summary

    It wasn’t supposed to go like this.

    It’s not like it’s news – nothing in Theon’s life has ever gone the way things are usually supposed to, starting from the moment her father, who had been hoping for a third son, had decided to give her a boy’s name anyway.

    Or: in which Theon was born female, which changes some things. However, Robb's ideas when it comes to saving a spoiled maiden's honor do not change whatsoever.

    Summary

    When ten-year-old Cassandrea Runewood loses her family to a massacre with no clear culprit, she is sent to Winterfell as the ward of Lady Catelyn Stark. Raised in a house where emotions were a liability, Cassie struggles to understand the warmth of the Stark family and the bonds they offer so freely. Silent observation is her armor, logic her weapon—but neither prepare her for the way the North begins to shape her.

    As the years pass, Cassie grows alongside Robb, Jon, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon, forging deep and complicated bonds with each of them in different ways. Though the Northern lords eye her with distrust, her sharp mind and unwavering loyalty carve a quiet place for her in Winterfell’s halls. But childhood is fleeting, and as the winds of change stir across Westeros, Cassie begins to learn that survival is not only about intelligence—it is about belonging, and the strength to protect those who claim her as their own.

    This is the story of the ward who became family. The girl who learned to fight in her own way. And the woman who would change the fate of the North.

    Summary

    From her hiding spot, Marja stared at the boy. He had the same eyes as her son. Her precious little Emil, less than a year old, had the same sea-blue gaze as this child, only maybe a shade darker. Then all she could think of was her son in this boy’s place, his eyes staring off into nothing, and she sobbed, tears blurring her vision.

    The boy’s mouth moved, and even though nothing but a low gurgle of blood escaped his lips, Marja could see the shape they made. She could see him silently cry, mother, mother.

    --

    In which humanity shines brightest in the darkest of times, and one impulsive choice results in two serving girls and a Frey knight saving Robb Stark’s life in the aftermath of the Red Wedding.

    Summary

    It was all an act, a game of masks and illusions. Her smile, her walk, every word carefully chosen to please the men who would evaluate her like a prized horse. Her father expected nothing less than perfection, and she would deliver it. Not because she wanted to, but because there was no choice.
    But now, sitting in this carriage, the reality felt too sharp, too heavy. Her father’s every word, every lesson, reminded her of what awaited. A stranger’s home. A stranger’s bed. Robb/Bolton OC, Jon/different OC

    Summary

    All her life Ragna Bolton has been told who she is: Roose Bolton’s obedient daughter, half-brother's Ramsay’s punching bag and now Robb Stark’s betrothed. At a young age she is sent to Winterfell to fulfill a fragile alliance, expected to live among the Starks until the time comes to marry. Robb is kind but distant, just as trapped by duty as she is. As the years pass and war looms over the North, their bond deepens - but so do the dangers surrounding them. The shadow of her family’s cruelty lingers and as the chaos of war drives her beyond the walls of Winterfell, Ragna must confront impossible choices about loyalty, survival and love, because in a world like this, nothing stays simple for long.

    Summary

    "I dance in dangerous fables, walk a woods with trees white as bone. It's always winter and I'm always pressing my face against something warm with blood." - Yasmin Belkhyr, 'Blizzard'.

    “Men die,” Barbrey tells her, bone-white with anger, eyes flashing. “Men die, Donella. Should Stark’s boy not sire a son on you, and if the Bastard has the Dreadfort-,”

    “You speak as if Robb Stark were in fragile health,” Nell rolls her eyes. “You’re being paranoid.”

    “Willam was in excellent health until he rode off to his death at Ned Stark’s side,” Barbrey hisses. “Do you think he did not promise me we would have children and a long life together before he left? Do you think he did not promise to come back to me? You cannot know what the future might bring. My lord husband survived a war only to die in Dorne. Men and their promises are not your safety nor your refuge. Land is. Power is. Never forget that.”

    (In which Nell Bolton contends with both her mother's bloodstained legacy and her father's bloodthirsty bastard, and along the way claims a beast for a bridegroom.)

    Summary

    Jason swallowed. “She’s everything the world has killed in me.”
    “Well,” Leslie hesitated, voice kind, if rough, “they do say we become who would have saved us when we were younger.”

     

    Jason Todd never allowed himself to be soft. Not in Crime Alley, not with Batman, not after the pit.
    Then one night he finds a newborn abandoned behind a dumpster and it’s both the easiest and hardest choice of his life – because he knows how this story ends. A child left alone in the dark. A body in a cold alley. A city that doesn’t care.
    As Gotham’s latest rumors take a terrifying turn and the past comes clawing at his heels, Jason isn’t looking to be a hero. He just refuses to let history repeat itself.

     

    You don't need to read the rest of the "Hatchlings of Gotham" series (dedicated to the Batkids' kids) to read this one.

    Now with a short sequel.

    Summary

    “How thrilled I am to finally meet my bride-to-be. You are as beautiful as they say, my lady.”

    There was mocking in Jaime's tone. Rosarra Stark had bristled at his words, and regarded him as though he displeased her. Good, he thought to himself, better she be disappointed now than hold onto a fool’s hope that this marriage will be anything other than miserable.

    The lady composed herself, and met his gaze evenly once more, chin held high. “You, as well, ser,” Rosarra replied smoothly, “almost displeasingly so. Imagine my horror, when I laid eyes upon you and realised that it is I who will be the bear to your maiden fair.”

    Did she just call me… Jaime froze for a moment, surprised at his bride’s brazen tongue. He glanced at his father briefly, who looked equal parts intrigued and dismayed by the girl’s sharp tongue. Finally, Jaime had to honour her jest with a small laugh.

    “My lady, did you just call me pretty?”

    Robb Stark is born a girl, is displaced as heir by her younger brother Bran, and becomes Jaime Lannister's greatest headache, and his greatest amusement.

    Summary

    After the bombs fell, children became a precious rarity. The radiation left many women, even those who didn't become ghouls, unable to even get pregnant. Those that were able to had a whole new hosts of challenges to face. Lack of food, safe drinking water, and proper medical equipment meant that many pregnancies ended in tragedy. Even the act of being born was deadly in the Wasteland.

    Summary

    “I’ll take her,” He says firmly, laying back against the arm of the couch and situating Ellie on his chest.

    “What?” Marlene asks, peeking out the front window of the building. They’re waiting for their contact to take them through a clear route to the inside. She lets the curtain fall back into place before she turns to him.

    “I said I’ll take her.”

    “No.” Malene cuts her hand through the air.

    “Why not?”

    “Why not? We need you. We need you fighting for the cause. Not off raising some kid that’s not yours, out of some false sense of… obligation, because you and Anna dated for a little while.”

    “Who says she ain’t mine,” Tommy comments, running small circles over Ellie’s back, watching her tiny fingers twitch on his chest.

    “She’s not.” Marlene huffs, shaking her head.

    IE: Tommy's there when Anna dies, and everything changes from there. (A Tommy raises Ellie AU)
