(Sequel to Mother of Wolves)
Vengeance is the only thing on Valyria Stark's mind when she returns to King's Landing. Her mother, best friend, twin brother and sister-in-law all died before her eyes. Although she is not entirely alone, she has lost everyone she was closest to, as well as her titles and power. She finds it hard to adapt - despite how strong she seems - so she desperately grabs whatever shred of power she can get.

When Valyria's bastard brother Jon Snow sends a raven requesting help up on the Wall, she immediately wants to leave to help him. The terms of letting her go is that she takes two trusted men with her. When her last two friends, Hunter Baratheon and Allister Ellwood agree to go, will she allow them to lay down their lives for this cause?

Can Valyria get past the events of the Red Wedding to save both herself and her friends? Will she get her titles back for her service to the Realm? Is Valyria still as powerful and influential as she once was, despite having no longer having her titles? What happens when a man who once tried to kill her demands that she joins him in his war for the Iron Throne, with the price of denial being death?

Bring fire and blood with winter by Mathislambert17
25 parts Ongoing Mature
When Robert's Rebellion is won, the songs tell of loyalty, friendship, and the fall of a tyrant. But in the cold North, the truth runs deeper than southern lies. Eddard Stark has learned that his sister, Lyanna, was not stolen by Rhaegar Targaryen-she fled Winterfell of her own will. Benjen Stark himself helped her escape, long before war and madness consumed the realm. And when Eddard finally reaches the Tower of Joy, he finds not a kidnapped girl but a dying woman-cradling a child born of love, not violence. Shattered by grief and betrayal, Ned turns his back on the oaths he swore in the Vale. He no longer believes in the honor taught by Jon Arryn, nor in the southern crowns that burn men for pride. He remembers instead the ways of the Kings of Winter, the ancient Stark lords who ruled when the First Men still walked among the gods. When he rides south no longer as a friend of Robert Baratheon but as a conqueror of his own will, the North rises behind him. The bannermen of the old blood answer his call-not for Robert's Iron Throne, but for Northern freedom. For the first time in three hundred years, the direwolf howls not as a servant of dragons or usurpers, but as a king reborn. Ned Stark returns from the Tower of Joy with three royal Kingsguard in chains, a sister's body wrapped in silence, and a child whose name must never be spoken: Aegon Targaryen, known to the world as Jon Snow. In Winterfell, secrets freeze harder than ice, and every choice is paid in blood. As the South descends into chaos and old powers stir beyond the Wall, the North stands alone once more-ancient, proud, and unbending. In this world, the wolf does not kneel. The wolf remembers. And Winter comes for the Iron Throne.
The Dragon's Peace - Book One: The Dragon Ascendant by ChroniclesofVampy
33 parts Complete Mature
In a world where one choice altered the fate of Westeros, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen makes the ultimate sacrifice to save the Seven Kingdoms. When the Mad King Aerys II moves to burn his own family and city, Rhaegar slays his father to stop the madness, sparing King's Landing from wildfire and averting Robert Baratheon's rebellion before it can engulf the realm. In the aftermath of this kinslaying coup, the new King Rhaegar I ushers in a fragile "Dragon's Peace" - a realm not scourged by civil war, yet simmering with uneasy alliances and unhealed wounds. All the Targaryens survive intact - Rhaegar's wife Elia and their children, as well as Viserys and newborn Daenerys - but peace comes at a price: the young king must prove his legitimacy, atone for his father's sins, and unite rival great lords who begrudge the crown he saved. The Dragon's Peace: Book One chronicles an alternate saga of Westeros had the Dragon Prince claimed the Iron Throne in time to save it. Now King Rhaegar Targaryen seeks to forge alliances through marriage and diplomacy, not fire and blood. In the cold North, House Stark withdraws its banners after Rhaegar's act of mercy, yet old grudges remain - Lyanna Stark's honor and Robert Baratheon's heart have been broken for the sake of the realm's peace. In the South, Lord Tywin Lannister returns to King's Landing to serve as Hand once more, even as his pride quietly rebels against a king who once slighted him. Seven Kingdoms that nearly splintered are bound anew under Rhaegar's rule, but each Great House follows a new, uncharted trajectory that teems with intrigue. The Martells of Dorne bask in the favor of their beloved Elia as queen, the Baratheons smolder with unmet vengeance, and the direwolves of Stark gnash their teeth over debts of honor unpaid. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize beloved characters on new paths - and new characters with daunting challenges - in a gripping tale of what might have been, had the Dragon Prince lived to rule.
