Summary
When Rhaegar takes Lyanna, the North does not join Robert's Rebellion in the traditional sense. Instead, they just... decouple themselves from the rest of Westeros. No one may enter or leave. The breakaway is slow, quiet, and unmistakable. Robert loses his rebellion and his life, and Lyanna loses her own life on the birthing bed giving Rhaegar exactly what he didn't want: another son. Jon grows up in the shadows of his Targaryen Father and prophesied brother.
Still, calamity strikes, and winter comes rolling in from the North. Decades after the rebellion was finally quelled, the Stark children are coming forward to ask for the remains and effects of their ancestors. Rhaegar sees this as an opportunity to tie the realm together once again, but trust is a fragile thing and the North no longer abides by oathbreakers.

Trying my hand at intrigue this time. Something different, darker, and stranger. Started off as a Rhaegar-Won AU and turned into a full bodied AU with the introduction of all that's been going down in the North. Updates are going to be slow, but that's just life for me these days.

Summary
It began with death and blood and fear.
There's something lurking in the depths of the crypts of Winterfell and its been there since the beginning. To keep the magic at bay and the hunter happy, the key is simple: There must always be a Stark in Winterfell. Pity then that the world conspired to remove them from the seat of power in the North. The seasons turn, and now the magic has awoken. The remaining Starks and their kin must find their way back in order to set things to right as well as prepare for the Night King's return during the Long Night.

Summary
After the end of the War of Two Queens, Tyrion finds himself ostracized and homeless. However, a new benefactor brings him out of hiding and offers him a chance at redemption up in Winterfell. He meets a former friend and associate and tries to wrap his mind around how different the world is in winter now versus how it used to be.
King Jon and Queen Sansa are rebuilding the North after the Long Night. They have alliances to build, children to raise, friends to honor, and a family to help thrive.
**
Just character introspection, honestly, about regret vs hope.

Summary
This is less of a full fledged fic and me just playing in the sandbox rambling about an idea I had for Sansa Stark escaping King's Landing, becoming a minstrel, promoting rebellion among the small folk, and using rats as her own personal Rebel Army.

Summary
Every story is going to have Jonsa as a pairing, but each one is set in its own universe. Maybe Jon doesn't go to Dragonstone. Maybe someone is stuck in a timeloop. Maybe someone is a vampire. Each story different with a different component. Some alternate universes are closely tied to the starting universe, but just three shakes to the left. I just enjoy the pairing and wanted to write for them.

Summary
Jackson sat heavily on the riser beside Scott, knocking their shoulders together. “This is weird and I hate it.”
"What's weird and why?"
“This whole situation,” Jackson said. “With the Ghostriders and the missing dude you’re so obsessed with.”
“And why do you hate that?”
“Because now I can’t stop thinking about it!” Jackson bit out, and he really did sound supremely irritated by that. “I keep thinking that if even Danny’s forgetting shit because of this guy, then I must be forgetting shit too, and that is so not cool. So now I’m running over everything that’s ever happened in my entire freaking life looking for moments when the Ghostriders could’ve fucked with my head.”
Scott had to admit that Jackson had a point. He’d been doing the same thing ever since that first memory with obvious pieces missing. Honestly, it was hard for him to find a memory that did feel whole. Even sitting on the bench alone didn’t feel right.

Summary
When Stiles undoes Scott’s werewolf bite, everything changes. Powerless and immune to the supernatural, Scott falls from the center to the fringe watching as Stiles becomes something… More. More than the boy who used to orbit someone else’s story, stepping into a role no one had a name for. Was it truly the path to becoming a True Alpha that made Scott a hero or had seeing himself as Beacon Hills paragon only amplified the illusion?
*inspired by failcat's AU twitter post wherein Scott becomes human again learns he's a twat but really he learns nothing and continues to be a twat.

Summary
The second War for the Dawn is lost before it has even begun. With a little help from the Old Gods, Bran sends the last surviving Starks somewhere they can make a difference: back in time. Alone in an unfamiliar place, scattered and separated from each other, they must save the dragons and their house from death and madness. The survival of all humanity depends upon it.
Alternatively: Jon discovers just how messy that side of the family can get, Arya is forced to concede that some problems can't be solved by sticking them with the pointy end, and Sansa finally gets to play the game of thrones. This time around, it is a woman they will call Kingmaker.
(Or: What if all Alicent Hightower needed was a friend like Sansa Stark?)
