Summary
When Rhaegar takes Lyanna, the North does not join Robert's Rebellion in the traditional sense. Instead, they just... decouple themselves from the rest of Westeros. No one may enter or leave. The breakaway is slow, quiet, and unmistakable. Robert loses his rebellion and his life, and Lyanna loses her own life on the birthing bed giving Rhaegar exactly what he didn't want: another son. Jon grows up in the shadows of his Targaryen Father and prophesied brother.
Still, calamity strikes, and winter comes rolling in from the North. Decades after the rebellion was finally quelled, the Stark children are coming forward to ask for the remains and effects of their ancestors. Rhaegar sees this as an opportunity to tie the realm together once again, but trust is a fragile thing and the North no longer abides by oathbreakers.

Trying my hand at intrigue this time. Something different, darker, and stranger. Started off as a Rhaegar-Won AU and turned into a full bodied AU with the introduction of all that's been going down in the North. Updates are going to be slow, but that's just life for me these days.
