What if Tohren Stark's brother never bent his knee to Aegon Targaryen? What if he and his allies chose exile instead of fealty? This is the story of Cregan Starks sellsword company and secret society of Northern Royalists. Men exiled in Essos waiting for the time when they can come home. "The North knows no King but the King in the North Whose name is Stark."

What if the Gods of the world took a more active hand in it? What might that change about the Game of Thrones? (Or Jon Snow is a demi-god son of R'hllor and world history is turned on its head as a result.)

For thousands of years the people of the North had been known as barbarians and savages. People who know nothing of the culture and traditions of the south. But what if they are not as dumb or naive as you think? What if they are only hiding their true resourcefulness? Major AU you have been warned.

Lord Jason Mallister intercepts a letter from Tywin Lannister to Walder Frey regarding the planned Red Wedding on his way to the Twins, and the course of the war is changed forever as new players enter the game and new heroes emerge. Chapters from Jason, Sandor, Robb, Howland Reed, Bronn, and others.

AU, R L J (Rated M for Sexual Themes, Blood and Gore, Language, and Violence)

"My lady, it seems my journey here is not solely to return Dawn. For the sake of peace between Houses Dayne of Starfall, Stark of Winterfell and Baratheon of King's Landing, the king has commanded me to…to take you as wife." Sacrifices must be made; for honour, for duty, for love, for peace. Mostly AU.

At Harrenhal, a strange man learns a lone wolf's secret. In King's Landing, the Lannisters prepare for the coming battle with Stannis Baratheon. In the North, two princes learn that Krakens are not the only beasts roaming Winterfell. Elsewhere, spiders spin their webs and mockingbirds sing their songs. In Essos, a one-eyed man finds a dragon. And winter is coming...

He was born a bastard and he always believed he will remain as one until the day he stumbled upon old documents, letters and truth... (JonXDany) (All credits to HBO, GRRM except for the OC and some scenes that I invented.)

When his father is named Hand of the King, Brynden Stark's life and destiny changes. As the second son and twin of Robb, Brynden will aid his brother in the War of the Five Kings and defend their kingdom against their enemies. The Blackwolf will rise and become the first Stark of Winterfell to unite the North and the Free Folk against their common foe.

The call of the coming Winter and the preservation of the North cause Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell to refuse his King's request to become Hand of the King. The decision has far reaching consequences, especially for Robb Stark, who finds himself riding south on the Kingsroad with Winterfell disappearing behind him in the distance.

Margaery ends up forced to make her way to the Wall in order to survive, but that cold place has its own dangers. Eventual Margaery/Jon, rated T for now, may go up. Co-authored with Anne-Lilian. Enjoy!

At first, she was thought to be the king's bastard, his one mistake. She was a stranger in her own home. When she was gone, it felt like her family didn't care that she was. It hurt but she taught herself not to care. She stayed away until she had to go back. She went back to King's Landing, different from when she left. Her name was Joan. This is her tale.

Bran is experimenting still with the abilities that he gained as the Three Eyed Raven. Recalling what had happened with Hodor, he attempts to do it again, but in the opposite direction. He succeeds, though not as cleanly as he would have liked

Part of the Black Wolf and Mother of Dragons Saga! Castle Black is under siege by Mance Rayder and the Lord of Winterfell has raised his banners in reply! Bran Stark has brought James Stark, Gendry, Jon, and his nephews, leaving their families behind in Winterfell. Will they succeed or die trying? AU/post ASOIAF saga. Dany/OC. Arya/Gendry. Sansa/Jon. A lot of OCs.

Jon has been plagued by strange dreams of late. Ones that seem to almost warn him of events to come. Then, when the hand of the king dies, and Robert Baratheon rides north to Winterfell, Jon knows the dream didn't mean nothing. And then there's the growing question of his mother. Instead of going to the wall, Jon follows Ned south to kings landing where he hopes to stop everything.

What if Robert Baratheon feared that is hold upon the throne wasn't as secure as he'd like and needed his friend Ned to help make it secure... Stark/Tyrell alliance

Now he is back in the North ready to claim what is owed to him and make the North a true superpower. Pls R&R

The War of the Five Kings has a different player, Visenya Martell, Oberyn's true born, will do what she can for the revenge her father and uncle have planned all this time. She will bring the true dragon back to Westeros and make allies who were once her family's enemies. House Martell will live up to their house words: Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. AU/Fix it up

Nineteen years ago a child was born in the Tower of Joy. A son, born of two ancient houses separated by loyalty and war. Now, Jon Snow seeks to find his place in the vast world he calls home. Yet Jon will one day learn that his path was lain out before him long ago. For as his House has always claimed... Winter is Coming. And this time, Fire alone shall not prevail. Ice however...

What if Jon had inherited more than just Lyanna's colouring. What if he, like his mother and his uncle Brandon had the 'Wolf's Blood'. A what if story featuring Jon as a rather more assertive character than he is in the books or show. Standard warnings for GoT/ASoIaF fics. Violence, blood, sex and gore. Butterfly effect. Things will be different and the same. Mix of GoT/ASoIaF.

Many years ago, just before her life had ended, Elia Martell had a decision to make. It is that decision that put Rhae, a young woman, in the place she is now. After keeping her true identity a secret for many years, she is finally getting her revenge and after that, she hopes, her peace. JonXOC slow burn, AU, Season 6

just my take on the meeting of rhaegar and lyanna. kind of a work in progress. something i'm doing till g.r.r.m. gets off his butt and finishes WoW. or at least writes the story of these two which is the least he could do for taking so effing long

What would happen if Sansa Stark travelled back in time to the beginning? How would she change the future? She is not a Little Bird this time, no, now she is a wolf. This time she will come out on top. The question is, who will she bring with her and who will be the collateral? It is all in the days work when playing the Game of Thrones; and she has learned from the best.

The story of a young lady, Clara Tyrell, sister of Willas, Margaery and Loras Tyrell. How will Clara fit into this world? What could her role be? How many secrets does she know and can she play the game? Starts about a year before the War of the Five Kings. Rated M. Pairing... you'll see :)

Jon would always be a Bastard. He could never inherit but he could protect his family. He could defend The North. Protecting his family he could do himself. But protecting The North? He would need followers, like the Knights of the South but dedicated to The North, not to glory. Bastard and true-born alike - The Lords of Winter would protect The North. Cover image by Melaamory. AU.

Rhaegar always wanted a Visenya for his Aegon. Be careful what you wish for. Regular warnings apply such as sex, incest, violence, character death and the usual. A 'reincarnation' fem'jon fic. Featurin my usual bag of goodies such as more prominent magic, a light hearted tone, some snark/crack and of course something else than the usual 'angsty/broody/whiny' Jon that is so normal.

Guilty three shot feelgood crackfic. Apparently Targs are not fireproof, and Jon is a badass. A fic filled with 'what ifs' that's based on the show but includes several characters and elements from the books and how that might just switch things around. Standard warnings apply such as smut, wincest...I mean incest, blood, character death, tricky disclaimers. The usual stuff really

Varys adds two and two together when Ned returns to King's Landing after the Tower of Joy and immediately hatches plans., The Black Dragon will return. Rewrite of 'Dragon in Wolf's Clothing'

Mace Tyrell refuses to surrender at the siege of Storm's End. Utterly crushed and with his two eldest sons killed, the lord of high garden finds himself at the mercy of the quiet wolf. Unwilling to rob a loyal man of his only remaining heir, Eddard takes the newborn Margaery to be raised with his son as a ward in Winterfell to ensure the cooperation of the Reach. Robb/Margaery

Based on a single, very plausible "what if" revealed in the Prologue, this will explore an alternative story of House Stark. Written for my enjoyment - and hopefully for others - of the world of ASOIAF, created and owned by GRRM, for whom I am grateful.

Jon Snow discovers a device hidden deep inside the Crypts of Winterfell which turns his life into a video game. Jon uses his new found powers to find a place for himself in the world, learning to adapt, learning that to survive what is out there he has to become more than just a man in order to save them all from the Long Night. M, because of 'stuff', REVIEWS!

Slight AU. Lord Leyton Hightower receives documents from the Tower of Joy sent by his cousin, Ser Gerold. Years later his heir is sent to strike a deal with Lord Ned Stark for Oldtown's future a secure hold. Jon Snow will soon become a knight. The old man's grandaughter now faces difficult challenges by agreeing to serve what is best for the realm. Temporary Pairings.

In the north they say you could hear the voices of the Old Gods in the wind. For years they spoke only to fall on deaf ears. One man finally heard them and it changed the fate of the world.

Brandon the Shipwright attempted to sail across the Sunset Sea, but never returned, his tomb in the crypts of Winterfell remaining empty. He made landfall on what would become the Sunset Islands and now the youngest son of Brandon VII Stark attempts to cross the Sunset Sea and return to Westeros, this is the tale of his adventure and what it means for Westeros. Winter is Coming.

As Jon's fateful stabbing ends differently, so does history change for better or worse. Timetravel, Heavy AU, Focus on Magic, Valyria. Both show and books driven. Usual warnings apply for GoT/ASoIaF: Smut, Incestuous Wincest Extreme Violence, Character Death, Davos being awesome, Rape, Littlefinger being his usual cuntish self. Sansa must Sansa as the Tully train never ends.

Imagined scenario assuming R L J. AU after the Red Wedding. A what-if based on Daenerys coming to Westeros and winning the Iron Throne, believing Jon to be the rightful heir. This started with an idea I had of Robb and maybe Catelyn being alive getting free from Freys only to find Targaryens, and Jon specifically on the throne. Of course they're a bit confused. All stark kids alive

Instead of leaving to Essos with her brother, Daenrys is taken as a ward for Ned Stark. This changes a few things in the story. Join Daenerys, Jon, Robb, and Alaia(OC) in their adventure to take the Seven Kingdoms. Sorry if it's a bad summary. The story is much better than the summary. Pairings:Dany/Jon, Robb/Alaia(OC)

"you were the brothers I chose Ned, you and Rhaegar" -Robert After the death of the Master of Laws, on the advice of Tywin King Areys summons Jon Arryn to be his new master of Laws. With him his wards Robert and Ned meet the crown prince Rhaegar and the three form a bond of friendship that would later make them brothers.

Rated M for paranoid The North rises from a single decision that will forever change the lands beyond the neck. As the South falls time and again, the people of the North weather the storm and survive to stand tall. The lands of summer snow bow only to the great Direwolf, king of the forest. And so the First Men Rose

ABANDONED PENDING COMPLETE REWRITE! I still have all the old chapters if someone want to adopt it. New story will come soon, a lot of differences but some similarities. Really sorry mates.

Sometimes a lie is all it takes to protect the one you love. (AU where Jon Snow is a female)

(AU) A different outcome on the Trident sends the war between the Dragons and the Stags spinning in strange and terrifying directions, with great changes in the lives of those who live in Westeros... and beyond...

(Canon divergent AU. No Others/White Walkers. Some characters OOC) Jon Snow does not take the black after being selected as a steward, so leaves the Wall. Robb meanwhile marches past the Twins to engage Tywin Lannister head on, thus ignoring the Freys. How will the game of thrones go with this different course of action? [ON HIATUS, READ PROFILE FOR MORE INFO]

Prophecies are notoriously fickle; it's no surprise that the maesters didn't get everything exactly right. Nevertheless, Westeros has two saviors: a prince of winter and a dragon queen who both must unite to stop an almost unbeatable foe before winter comes in full and there is nothing left to save. Hypothetical War for the Dawn.

"And A New Beginning For You, Warrior, Protector, Champion. A New Beginning For You Jon Snow." After the mutiny at Castle Black, Jon's spirit is summoned by two unlikely entities working together. There, he is blessed with divine gifts by them and is sent back, back to avenge his family, back to save his sister. Jon centric for the most part, based on the assumption that R plus L J

Eddard Stark made them believe that they were his bastards. What will happen if they'll finally discover that the man they called Father lied to them and the woman they thought to be their aunt was the Mother they never knew?

Arya is given a name, Daenerys Targaryen, but when she arrives in Pentos she finds her way home. Two women who refuse to be ruled by men travel across the Narrow Sea to retake their homes in a song of Ice and Fire. Aegonvi/Daenerys/Jon. Gendry/Arya/Aegon. Lemon warning in chapter 15. (chapter 15 updated, accidentally posted 16 twice) Sansa/Harry lemon

Jon gets to an agreement with Stannis, Arya finds a way to go to the Wall and the surviving Starks struggle to recover their forgotten identities and their lost family.

One choice, multiple outcomes. House Stark was known for many things, one being their so called Wolf's blood. The Stark children embraced said quality to the fullest and because of that Westeros is pulled into A Game of Thrones.

Jon Snow learns he is no snow at all, but is blood of the dragon. Reluctantly, he is made Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. Is he ready to rule or would he have served better on the Wall? Based on both Game of Thrones and Song of Ice and Fire. Not a serious story, mostly written for my amusement. Jon Snow/Margaery Tyrell

What if Jon had some more prominent signs of his heritage? What if he didn't want to join the Night's Watch and left to aid Robb in the Northern campaign? What if Jon was the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark?

What if the western shore of the North had a ruling house. House Frost is one of the most powerful houses in the North and also the most loyal to the Starks. They control one the biggest ports and navies in Westeros. This story starts just before Roberts Rebellion and will continue from there...I own nothing but the Frosts.

When Ned Stark returns to Riverrun after Robert's Rebellion he presents Catelyn with two babies. He also presents her with a truth that will change everything. AU. Rated M.

As knives left his flesh gaping open, Fire was sent upon him and sparked his life again. Necessary revelations awaited him in the dark crypts of Winterfell. Jon Snow finally learns the truth of his parentage, his duties. Two remaining heads need to join for him to fulfill his mission as Protector of the Realm. Winter is coming and will perish with Fire and Blood. Implied RLJ

A story where Ned manages to break free from the Black Cells, and fights to defend the only things that matter to him, Family, Duty and honour.

Only the Blue Rose of the North may enable the Queen's womb to carry. Otherwise she is doomed to lose all her babes as she has lost her Princess. Rhaella Targaryen takes matters in her own hands and has the sole daughter of House Stark brought into the folds of her own family. AU! Lyanna is raised at court and is no less of a Stark despite her Targaryen upbringing.

Joffrey allows Ned Stark to take the black but keeps Sansa in King's Landing. The Starks decide they won't let a false king take away what's rightfully theirs and unites the North with Renly Baratheon to change their future. Daenerys Targaryen and her dragons are looking for an alliance in Westeros and finds one unexpectedly. Pairings will be added as they happen so as not to spoil

A/U based off a prompt given to me on tumblr. Daenerys was born merely days before the rebellion and when she is about to be killed by the Kingslayer's hand Catelyn Stark cuts in and takes the child to be her ward. As she grew up in Winterfell, she formed a strong bond with Ned's bastard son Jon that could mean more than just friendship.

A girl torn between two brothers, a rebellion intent on destroying Winterfell, lives of all the Starks hanging in the balance; this story is about more than romance and coming of age, it's about fighting for what you believe in. AU-Robb/OC/Jon
