    Summary

    Ned Stark was many things: honorable, loyal, and fiercely protective of his family. But patient with Robert’s nonsense? That had its limits. After what seemed like an eternity of chasing his childhood friend out of brothels, taverns, and back-alley misadventures, Ned was absolutely done.
    or
    Ned is finally done with Robert's bullshit and drags him back to the small council. Chaos of course ensues.

    Summary

    In Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, land filled with noble houses, political intrigue, and brutal warfare, all vie for power. At the heart lies the Iron Throne—the seat of the king, fought over by all of the warring factions, each believing they have the right to rule.

    But unlike in the course of a different world, Ned Stark, when falsely accused of treason, refuses to confess and instead demands a trial by combat. His champion, Ser Barristan Selmy—a legendary knight—fights for his honor, setting off a series of events that completely change the course of fate.

    (Or, in other words, Ned Stark has just a little bit more self-preservation, and all hell break loose)

    Summary

    Robyn Stark knows her position is a precarious one. According to tradition, a woman has never ruled the North or Winterfell in her own right. Even her father proclaiming her his heir for all the North to hear has not resolved the circling vultures, waiting for the first sign of weakness and overthrow her as soon as her father is dead. The North is a harsh place and its politics even harsher. She may not be able to prove herself a warrior as she once dreamed, but mayhaps she can prove herself a ruler as capable as any and mayhaps, she can make the North bow to her.

    AU where all of Ned and Catelyn's children are girls and Jon Snow is Ned's only son.

    Summary

    He doesn’t belong here, she thought.

    Her fingers brushed absently against the bark of the log beneath her, the motion grounding her as her thoughts turned darker. If she had to be here, if someone had to be here with her, why couldn’t it have one of her brothers? Joffrey’s laughter would have lightened even this bleak world. Or even Aegon—she could have tolerated his sulking and self-importance, his drunken complaints.

    Instead, she had Aemond. Cold, angry, unyielding Aemond.

    Summary

    @  blood, fury, and all other acts of devotion ٠

    beauty and terror are often intertwined in the medieval world; romanticism combines the prehistoric act of love with something more carnal, more primal, more angry— men have fought wars over women and over less than women. lovely lady lyanna was the helen to the westerosi troy, the pandora that had opened the box of otherworldly horror, the martyr and the lamb and the— i could go on, with the symbolism, couldn't i?

    this fic explores before, during, and after the war. romance and pain and growth and regression, targaryen alcoholism and the stark gene for absolute yearning. it is not for everyone, but the people who it is for will find it, that i am sure of. destiny circles and trails people, often. it is the fallacy of fate. you will not know what is coming until it veers off course and hits you flat in the chest, like the arrow that had killed jacaerys in the battle of the gullet.

    i digress. i am rambling. enjoy, reader.

    Summary

    "When the time comes for me and my daughters to travel South, you will be accompanying us." He said it so casually, as though Theon's whole world was not falling to shreds right in front of his very eyes. "A young man such as yourself will do well in the Capital."

    There were very few times in Theon Greyjoy's short life where he'd been left speechless. Unfortunately, this was undoubtedly one of them.

     

    OR, in which a Theon goes south with Ned au! Featuring lots of baby theonsa moments and the Stark's being cuties.

    Summary

    Brandon Stark was never pushed from a tower and Ned Stark became Hand of the King with reservations but without suspicion. He goes about his position with more caution and a greater interest in learning the ways of court. As such, it takes him longer to suss out the Queen’s betrayal to the crown and even longer to rip all her roots out from their hold on King’s landing.
    Three years after the Stark’s arrival in King’s Landing, Ned had all his pieces in place and made his move to depose the Queen, remove the Lannisters from King’s Landing, and set in place new heirs for the King. Unfortunately for one of his daughters, this last task required a marriage alliance that will have to be made under less than ideal circumstances. However, Starks have honor coursing through their hearts, and what must be done will be done. This is the story of that daughter, her strength, and her duty.

    Summary

    Peter was silent for a moment, that tight caricature of a smile ghosting his lips, before he allowed a small, breathy, “Goodbye, Ned.” and gently tapped his fist against the other boy’s offered hand. There was melancholy in his gaze, so subtle Ned was almost sure it didn’t exist, but it’s presence was loud. It screamed and rung in his ears, and filled the hallways with something thick and solemn, and Ned didn’t know what it was but it hurt and burned, and he needed it gone.
