Summary
„Lord Rickard demanded trial by combat, and the king granted the request. Stark armored himself as for battle, thinking to duel one of the Kingsguard. Me, perhaps. Instead they took him to the throne room and suspended him from the rafters while two of Aerys's pyromancers kindled a blaze beneath him. The king told him that fire was the champion of House Targaryen. So all Lord Rickard needed to do to prove himself innocent of treason was ... well, not burn.“
Jaime Lannister, A Clash of Kings
But what if he did not burn?
Rickard Stark survives the attempt at burning him because the pyromancers could not tie a proper knot.
Watch as he fixes the realm, his family and shit in general from the overall incompetence of kings, lords, knights and other idiots. For though the king may be a mad lackwit, his subjects at least should have a shot at peace and happiness.

Summary
Part of Cressida wanted to ruin Penelope’s dress. Here was Penelope, fellow third year debutante, who found it in her to harness inner reserves to reflect such beauty when it mattered most. Even the Queen herself leaned over the railing to watch her, before losing interest as she often did. Cressida had never once garnered such attention, had never been a diamond in earnest. Cressida could certainly stand out in a crowd, but it was often for the wrong reasons. She was tired of being the wrong reason.
___
Or, Cressida doesn’t step on Penelope’s dress beginning of Season 3 and an unlikely friendship forms to help each other find their match

Summary
He stands looking up at the artificial sky, clutching at his knife, frustration working its way through his system. Drops to his knees with a yell of rage, stabbing at the ground, grass flying in shining green clumps, wondering if he can expose the guts of the arena, if he will find some nefarious Capitol device that's trapped him in this loop, something to tell him what to do. How to end this.
Maysilee begins to scream in the distance, and his head spins, his feet moving even in the belief that he can't do this again, that he can't watch her die.
Always her, in every loop. Her blood on his hands, in his memory, her choked off last words. The one he can't save.
Oh.
