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.

This is going to be a Jonsa story, but it takes a while to get there.

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.
