Valyrian Steel

'She was ashamed to have let them down. She was supposed to look after them, after Brandon and Rickon. She was not a Stark; but Robb had entrusted Winterfell to her, to her and Luwin and Bran… She had sent Rickon off with Osha and Shaggydog and knew she would never see them again; she felt it in her marrow. She had Bran alone; and he was forgetting who he was.' ALSO ON AO3.

2. Hold the Door

A.N.: I still think Hodor's was one of the most tragic deaths in all of Game of Thrones. Also Maester Luwin; I continue to adore him. And Maester Aemon, the perfect example of what a true Targaryen should be (I'm looking at you, Queen of the Ashes).

I should probably add this is a TV-based fanfiction, rather than the books - although I will take some titbits and nuggets from the books, because the world-building is so rich.
