    Summary

    Daenerys dies Queen of the Seven Kingdoms with her lover's dagger in her heart. She wakes a Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea with her children in her arms.

    An indulgent Dany-centric fic. Basically a Season 2+ rewrite if Dany was the main character. Safe for fans of Starks, Baratheons, and Lannisters (as safe as any GOT fic can be, I suppose). No Jonsa/Jonerys.

    Summary

    After the Battle for the Seven Kingdoms, Jaime Lannister sailed east, hoping to find peace and some manner of freedom from his past sins. Now, ten years later, he finds himself once more in Westeros, on the shores of Tarth, looking for absolution from the one person he couldn’t leave behind.

    A story of second chances, the healing powers of communication, compassion, forgiveness, and love.

    --

     

    Brienne is exactly as he remembers and very different. She’s just as tall and broad and homely, but she’s softened around the edges. Then again, regular meals and peacetime will do that. The only evidence of her reaction to him is a slight pause in her stride across the courtyard.

     

    “Ser Jaime,” she greets him with a nod.

     

    “Ser Brienne.” He bows deeply. “Or would my lady be more appropriate?”

     

    “Ser will do between us.”

     

    Seeing her is more than he imagined and he imagined it being quite overwhelming.

    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

    LISTEN—if D&D can do whatever they want—so can I

    Most of the conflict in S8 could have been avoided if these characters were given the opportunity to actually SPEAK and EXPLAIN themselves to one another.

    Happiness and support for Daenerys (because the poor woman deserves it after the bullshit that was S8)

    Jon can’t be a know nothing sad boy forever (S8 forced it, and its not endearing anymore)

    Bran and Arya’s characterization leans on their book counterpart.

    After seasons of being forced into the game, Sansa has learned to use it to her advantage, but I’d like to think that she wouldn’t care for a crown. (Even if she deserves one)
