    Summary

    "And so it came to pass that the most faithful servant of the Emperor, Ciaphas Cain, did pass into His Grace at the age of one hundred and thirty-four. He was buried with all the honors accrued to him in his long life of service to the glory of the Imperium of Man. Yet it was whispered among some of the regiments whom he had so served that Cain's loyalty to Him-on-Earth would not be chained by death, and that he who had fought and bled for Him would not refuse the call to aid His people again ..." --Excerpt from the Hagiography of St. Ciaphas of Valhalla and Perlia, M42

    "Stop frakking praying to me!" --Unknown piece of paper found on Valhalla, M42

    Summary

    His life had been a mockery to itself, as too his death it seemed. For what kind of twisted humour would force Severus Snape to relive his greatest regret? To return him to the point in his life when the only person that ever mattered in his life had already turned away.

    Summary

    For all the great tipping points in the history of Westeros, perhaps fewer hinged upon one thing more than the day that Brandon Stark fell. When he plummeted from the summit of the First Keep, the future of the realm changed forever. Kings rose and fell. Houses reached the apex of their glory and crashed into ruin. Banners once old and ancient crashed into the mud, only to be raised anew. It was a thing that set in motion wars and coronatons and deaths across the realm and beyond, forever changing the course of the lives of men and women as much as it did the flow of history.

    But what if something different happened that day? What if Brandon Stark never fell? What if he saw what he saw, never revealing himself, but descended to the ground, and told his brother of what he had seen? What if Robb Stark had learnt? What if Jaime and Cersei Lannister were caught in the act, and arrested?

    What if there was a trial in Winterfell?
