    Summary

    What does it mean to find someone who carries the same scars you've spent a lifetime hiding?

    After years away, Arya Stark returns to a home that no longer feels like hers. As she tries to mend broken bonds and rediscover her place among those she once called family, she’s forced to face a truth she hadn’t prepared for: rebuilding trust can be harder than surviving alone.

    Summary

    Gendry Waters is an orphan boy, raised in a forgotten orphanage in Flea Bottom, marked by loneliness, sadness and a powerful and uncontrolled magic that he does not understand and that threatens to devour him from the inside. He is an eleven-year-old with stormy blue eyes and a sullen and melancholic character who is about to begin his first year at Hogwarts, a world full of wonders but also of hidden dangers.

    Caught between fragmented memories of his golden-haired mother and an unknown prophecy, Gendry must learn to control the darkness within him as mysterious forces lurk in the shadows. In this new world, he crosses paths with Arya Stark, a girl who appears to comprehend the storm within him, and whose presence will gradually reshape him.

    Jon Arryn knows more than he reveals, and he holds an ancient secret: a prophecy that speaks of a child with the power to light the way when the night is dark and full of torment. However, power can be a curse. Gendry must decide whether to become the light that breaks the darkness or the storm that consumes it.

    After the wars are over and Spring has returned, Westeros is at peace but much has been lost. When Shireen asks Arya to petition the crown and become the new Lady Paramount of Storm's End, it means giving up Winterfell. But the North holds painful memories, and nothing seems the same. The Stormlands may just hold the key for lasting peace in the realm... and in Arya's heart.

    Summary

    Arya and Gendry are friends. Good friends. It doesn't matter that all of their friends seem to think there's something more between them. Arya doesn't have time for a relationship, and she knows Gendry is equally allergic to commitment. So when the pair decide to address the undeniable physical chemistry between them, Arya knows the no-strings-attached agreement will be perfect.

    Anything beyond their friends-with-benefits arrangement can't possibly be worth the hassle.

    She's almost certain of it.

    Summary

    Bran is king, Sansa is sure.

    She flees the Vale and washes up on the shore of the Quiet Isle, where she discovers someone she never expected to see again. When Sansa asks Sandor to take her to her kin, he accepts.

    From there, they enter the landscape of a changed kingdom, a more just kingdom, or so they say. But what can bind a swordsman to a princess for any length of time? As Sandor and Sansa navigate the guiles of newfangled courts, shadows of their past follow close behind and threaten their fledgling intimacy.

    This is the tale of the maiden and the dog, and their shared journey home.

    Summary

    Picking up where GRRM left us.

    This story is written solely on book canon. I have never watched the show further than the first one and a half seasons. Mainly because of changes in the plot but also because of characterizations I couldn't recognize from the books.

    This is an ASOIAF version, with a continuation of GRRM's plotlines.

    Book one:
    Part one - ch 1-17 (the fanficish beginning)
    Part two - ch 18-24 (where I started truly writing)
    Part three - ch 25-33 (flowing)

    Book two:
    Part one - ch 34-41 (embracing)
    Part two - ch 42-49 (expanding)

    Book three:
    Part one - ch 50-?

    NLaMS was first posted in 2011-2014.
    It's been updated from ch 35 in 2021-2022.

    Big parts of this story have been translated into Russian and French.

    Summary

    Sansa returns to her home after three years spent at her brother's court. The North has changed so much and so do the people she knew and cared about. Can she find a balance between caring for her teenage siblings, her duties as the Queen and her years-long crush on her swordshield?

    Sandor never felt like he belonged anywhere ever since he left Clegane's Keep when he was a boy. The Lannisters? He was only a guard dog to them, nothing more. The Quiet Isle? That was never meant to be a home, only a shelter. Can he finally find a home and people to belong to, in the North?

    Arya had learnt to survive in a cruel world where everything was about to kill her. But now, her life has changed; there's no reason to be afraid or to watch her back all the time. Can she find friends and learn to laugh again like any other young girl?

    Summary

    Arya was once a wild child. Daughter of a Scottish solicitor, and from a large loving family, she sometimes fought with what she thought her future would be.

    Now her family is smaller, and her station reduced. Working as a maid in a country estate far grander than what her own childhood held, her life has transformed. She may find that love comes upon unexpectedly, and that the future could change more rapidly than she could have ever dreamed.

    Summary

    Many moons have passed and winter endures. Gendry is still at the inn when he learns that Lady Stoneheart is gone. He seeks the brotherhood's new commander, meaning to leave their service for good...
    --
    The sun was low in the sky when Gendry passed through the main gate on the stone curtain wall to emerge in the outer ward. Willow led the horses to the stable as he surveyed the grounds. The oaken keep was in worse shape than it had been before. The ward was much different too, filled with people and sounds now. Some two dozen men were training with sword and shield to his right, and Gendry could hear hounds barking in the kennels. In front of the abandoned smithy he wouldn’t come near, he saw the lordling Edric Dayne practice throwing daggers at a strawman, while a girl outdid his every throw and laughed at him. Gendry hid his smile behind a scowl.
    "Where is this Wolf?" That was the reason he had come. To meet the Wolf.

    Summary

    Westeros, 820 AC.

    Sansa Stark is a lady by birth. She lost most of her family in the Wildling's War, and has finally escaped the vigilant care of her Uncle Petyr to study music at Oxcross College. Happenstance and a beautifully penned poster of a weirwood lead her to Deepwood Den. There she meets Sandor Clegane, the guitarist in the metal band Heartsbane, a man who keeps the Old Gods and openly denounces the ruling noble class.

    She shouldn’t go home with him, but she does.

    Her life in Sow’s End begins that night. Sansa enters a world unlike any court or castle—a seductive world of ancient gods come back to life, dominated by radical self-expression and whirlwind romance. Sansa races against time as she pursues her dreams of making electronic music, and even more far-fetched, combining her two worlds. Prying eyes are everywhere, and her Uncle's vision is very, very sharp.

    I feel like the world of GOT needed to be blessed with more Hot Pie. Also pursuing the idea of what happened to Melisandre’s necklace, which I am imbuing with powers not previously mentioned. Hot Pie is a pure soul who can wield such magic, and he will start having prophetic dreams as well. I’ve also decided he is a Targaryen loyalist. Enjoy!
