Arya Stark had returned to Winterfell with one goal in her mind: family. Her reunion with Sansa had been warmer than she could have imagined, and now Jon was returning as well, the armies of Queen Daenerys in tow. She hadn't expected the blacksmith to ride his way back into her life, but here he was. For so long in her mind, he was dead and gone, and there he stood; shirt pushed up to his elbows, sweat and soot glistening on the skin of his chest as he hammered molten steel into shape. Why did seeing him again have to invoke so many complicated feelings? Arya x Gendry Cannon non-compliant post S8E3

I don't know why I left her. It was honestly the biggest mistake I've ever made. And not because of the leeches or the death sentence... they say you don't know how much you love someone until they're gone. Well, I know that I love her, and the worst part is that she can never be mine. Nonsense. Anyone can be anyone's. Nothing can stop love. She's Arya Stark of Winterfell. And you're Gendry Beratheon. Come on, I'm letting you go find her. But, what about Stannis? I'm old. And nothing should get in the way of love. Ever.

When the Starks move from Michigan to New York, the road gets rocky. Following the story of Arya Stark and Gendry Waters, two artists in NYC who just done fit in. When they meet, everything starts to fall into place.. COVER ART IS NOT MINE I GIVE ALL RIGHTS TO ORIGINAL ARTIST

Arya was numb. Always numb. Even when she returned home, to winterfell, she was numb. When she was reunited with her sister, she was numb. It was no secret that Arya had no care for a husband. Sansa was always the romantic one, not Arya. But, as they say, there's always one. One that goes against the trend. And she had blocked him out for years, or at least tried too. The only one who could take away the numbness. The only one who could ever make her feel. Gendry Baratheon.

FOR A MA: Robert and Ned have always been great friends. What if neither one of them have ever been killed? When Robert asked Ned to join Houses, he most likely meant Joffrey and Sansa.. But what about Arya and Robert's bastard..?

Arya and Gendry have been sidekicks ever since escaping.. But what if Gendry doesn't decide to join the brotherhood. What if he decides to take Arya back to Winterfell himself? Can she convince him to stay with her? A/N: This story will most likely stay with Arya as a child. ?
