Summary
Just as she was about to take another step towards them, a “Whatcha lookin’ at?” spoken in her ear startled a small shriek out of her. She whirls around to see Dr. Ellis gazing at her with an amused smile.
Victoria’s hand twitched against her thigh. She released the straw trapped between her teeth, then silently opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words other than: just a regularly scheduled Dr. Shen-study session! Not in a weird way, though. I just wanted to pin his limbs down on my favorite examination table—number three—take a bone saw to his skull, and record his brain’s chemical balance to replicate it for myself, but I’m doing it in an observational manner instead.

Summary
May realised a very long time ago that Buck was basically her stepbrother. So, when the lightning strike finally provided the impetus for Bobby to admit that he also brought a kid into their family, she had every intention of seizing the opportunity to properly integrate Buck into the Grant-Nash family.
And, look, if in the process she also gains a brother-in-law… clearly the universe was just waiting for the opportunity to make that happen.
-
Or, the one where May ensures Buck is enfolded properly into the Grant-Nash clan, which means Bobby (and by extension the firefam, because gossip) suddenly gets significantly more insight into the inner workings of the Buckley-Diaz family, and all roads lead to Buddie…

Summary
Robb knows duty, he learned it standing at his father’s knee and sitting on his mother’s lap before he had a concept of what it actually meant. He was born to be Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North. Kingship was never supposed to be on the table for him. But his family has been torn apart one too many times, and war seems endless; his only option now is to burrow in for the long winter, no matter the cost.
(And if that cost is his life? Well it’s a calculated risk he took the day they laid that weighty bronze circlet on his brow, naming him King.)
--
Or;
When the Tyrells switch allegiance before Robb Stark can be killed by the Lannisters, it only serves to stoke the fires of the wars in Westeros, the after effects rippling across the realm for years to come.

Summary
(a semi-AU reimagining of seasons 1 and 2)
There are two new arrivals on East 61st St in the spring of 1882, but they couldn’t be more different.
Marian Brook Montgomery is a penniless young widow who has come to live with her estranged aunts after the sudden deaths of both her father and husband leave her unexpectedly destitute. The deaths of both men have made her intimately aware of all the ways men can betray her. She arrives in New York grieving, hurt, and more than a little angry, looking for a friend and a fresh start.
Larry Russell, the son of one of New York's richest men, is newly home from Harvard, determined to make his own way in the world — and have more than a little fun while he’s at it. When he becomes friends with the prettiest young widow he's ever met (Larry likes widows), he thinks she might be open to (a lot) more than friendship. Turns out this was a major mistake.
After getting off (...or not) on the wrong foot, they keep bumping into each other, gradually becoming friends...and then falling in love. Too bad Larry's sleeping with the wrong widow & Marian's being courted by Tom Raikes.
