A Crown of Ash and Gold ~ Robb Stark
They named her Elowyn Baratheon. But her blood tells another story. Born in the shadow of a storm and a lie, Elowyn carries the fire of House Targaryen and the cunning of House Lannister-though the realm knows only the name of a stag. Switched at birth to protect her from the wrath of a king and the chaos of her mother's death, she is raised in the lion's den, wearing a crown that is not hers and bearing a name soaked in treason. Now, betrothed to Robb Stark-the cold-eyed Wolf of the North she's loathed since childhood-Elowyn is thrust into a game she never asked to play. But the game has always been in her blood. As war brews, loyalties fracture, and dragons stir in distant lands, Elowyn must walk a blade's edge between who she is and who the world believes her to be. Because in Westeros, fire and gold do not mix-unless they burn everything down together. Robb Stark x OC
ICE AND FIRE - ROBB STARK
Rhaenys Targaryen, third child of Rhaegar and Elia, was just weeks old when King's Landing fell. Hidden away in a nursery, she was saved by a dying maid-and found by Ned Stark. Choosing mercy over vengeance, Ned took the girl north, raising her in Winterfell as a ward under tight-lipped protection. Now grown, with war brewing and a betrothal to Robb Stark binding her to the wolf pack, Rhaenys must navigate love, loyalty, and the truth of who-and what-she truly is. I don't own the world or characters - they belong to George R. R. Martin and HBO. This is a fan-made work for fun and creative exploration.

my tears ricochet - r.s
Laenora always knew that as a princess she had responsibilities, that one day she would be married to one Lord and ordered to build his legacy like only a woman could - with heirs. She was ready. However being sent to the North, so far away from where she grew, that was not her plan. You would think a princess has far more choice in the making of this but she did not. She learned a few days before she had to leave that her hand had been given to Robb Stark - heir of Winterfell. The soon to be Young Wolf. A stag and a wolf. What an odd thing. What the did not expect was love and war. But those two things seem to come together as one, just like them. Laenora and Robb. A love the poet will sing songs about. Original name - desperado new version!
The Son of Star and Snow
"You have your mother's eyes." That was the answer Jon always got whenever he asked his father about his mother; he never told her who she was or what she looked like, was she highborn or lowborn. Jon wanted to believe she was highborn and that she was still out there, waiting for him. Jon Snow was born as the bastard son of Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne, living among cold stones and colder looks. Even at ten, Jon was sure his future would be the wall, but that will never happen as long as Robb is around to knock some sense into him. So if Jon cannot join The Watch, perhaps he can show the entire world why House Stark has ruled The North for 8000 years, and maybe, in his adventures, he will find love, pleasure, and a family of his own. Jon Snow/Harem.
