Oberyn Martell had never expected to fall in love, just like he had never expected to get married, but a certain she-wolf may, or may not, make him change his mind. Lyanna Stark knew marriage was what was expected of her. What she didn't know was that an unexpected betrothal to the least expected suitor would bring her the freedom and happiness she always hoped for.

Arya Stark has the potential to become great within her order, if only she can let go of the past. Some things are easier said than done. Jaqen H'ghar is her most trusted mentor. Will his guidance help her leave her hurts behind and rise through the ranks or will he steer her down a path of self-discovery? Part 1 of The Assassins Trilogy.

A brand new Arya/Jaime AU, separate from 'Be the Lightning in Me,' and an apology to readers offended/pissed off by the ending of 'Field of Fire.' Jaime escapes the Starks and rejoins Lord Tywin, who has been amusing himself at Harrenhal for the past four years. There, he meets Father's cupbearer, a girl who would like nothing better than to stick a knife in his back.
