i loved a maid as fair as summer (with sunlight in her hair) by thegirl (orphan_account)

Summary
“I hate counting coppers,” he grumbled, “perhaps we should just give the crown to Stannis, run off to the Free Cities and be done with it.”
“Stannis wouldn’t take it,” she tells him matter-of-factly “Not while you lived. And anyway, the crown would fall to Sansa if you and I were to disappear.”
Robert grumbles, “Well we’d take her with us, wouldn’t we? Me and you, Robb, Sansa and Jon, living in Braavos or Pentos or Myr. They wouldn’t have to learn courtly manners and I could fight every day and you could come fight with me, if you wanted-”
“I remember,” she tells him, amusement warm in her tone, “When you used to dream we’d marry. Then we did. I think King and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms is enough of a dream for a lifetime.”
Also known as: the kind-of anticipated sequel to i loved a maid as spry as spring (with sunrise in her hair)/Eddara's Rebellion or the fic wherein Fem!Ned kicks ass, takes names and has a fuckton of kids.

Summary
Melara Heatherspoon was not a particularly bold, or loud, or sweet, or even noticeable child.
She liked it that way.
If she’s not noticeable, then Cersei won’t push her down a well. If she’s not noticeable, then she’s not a player in the game of thrones, and she can escape with her life.

SI-OC with Melara Heatherspoon where she still falls down the well but everything turns out alright

Summary
"When Catelyn slips under the bed-covers, it is with a grateful sigh; and she sinks without resistance onto the mattress. It has been too long since she slept in a proper bed. Tomorrow, she would wake up comfortable and refreshed, Queen Catelyn Baratheon, loyal to her husband and king. Looking back is a dangerous slope and Catelyn dares not so much as peek over her shoulder. If she does, she might slip and fall and never find her way up. She must stand tall and look forward, or she may be lost."
AU where Hoster Tully takes a chance—and weds Catelyn to Robert Baratheon before he rebels. As her husband leads his court to Winterfell to make Ned Stark the Hand of the King, Catelyn tries her best to stay strong in the face of winter.

Summary
"We are not our gravest deeds / You are not your grieving / For the bravest flower seeds / As the birds are leaving." - Nancy Kerr, 'Gingerbread'.
Ned, for his part, suspected the marriage had been Robert’s way of attempting to coax him back to court, knowing that is what the Florents expected. But while his temper had cooled towards Robert, he had not warmed to the idea of a seat on the Small Council, either, and he suspected Selyse’s uncle, Lord Alester, had never forgiven him for it.
Still, for all his icy stubbornness, Ned had pitied Selyse; the adjustment from sunny Brightwater Keep, nestled on the banks of the fertile Honeywine, to the cavernous halls of Winterfell, surrounded by dark pines, would not have been an easy one. And while Selyse had brought a few ladies of her house with her, he’d had no female relations to help ease her entry into life in the North.
So it had come as a sharp surprise when Selyse had cast aside the Seven and proclaimed her intent to worship only the old gods, two years into their marriage.

Summary
Of all the crimes of Daemon Targaryen, the one spectre of guilt that did not come back to haunt him was that of his first wife, Rhea Royce. Not because she survived after falling from her horse, but because Daemon had no guilt over causing to death. Not an ounce of remorse. Not a second spent in mourning, recalling her name.
If they had a child, it would never allow him a second of peace. It would become the ghost Rhea Royce deserved.

Summary
"You should be so mad at me."
"Oh, furious," he panted, drawing her body closer to his. Beneath pretty blond lashes, his eyes were bright and twinkling. "Can't you tell?"
Daeron knew he meant to go down in history as another fail son of the Targaryen line—knew he’d die young, knew he’d do the same in life as he did in death: disappointing his father, his family, his name. He knew he’d never know love or passion unless it came out of the bottom of a cup or the skirts of a whore. He’d seen it all in his dreams.
He didn’t see Mariyam Storm and all that she’d be to him, until she shot him with her crossbow.

Our Tragedy Was Love but the Dream of Spring Brings Hope by MaxWizTavern

Summary
Ned Stark, known as the quiet wolf, has all his life been brought South for the grand Tourney of Harrenhall. He found himself stumbling over his own words as his elder brother thrust him into a dance with the most beautiful lady of the realm, Ashara Dayne. What many couldn’t believe, nor was he thinking of finding love in the cursed place of Harrenhall.
This story follows two separate timeline arcs, each leading toward vastly different futures. As you read, starting at chapter five, you may choose which path you prefer as the true course of this world: one shaped more heavily by grief, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of war, while the other leans toward healing, family, and the fragile hope of spring. In the end, the choice of which story truly lives belongs to you :)
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story differs from the original, though many of the characters are from canon.

Cat, Dog, Bird by dwellingondreams
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin

Summary
Her father did odd jobs around the village and farmed, poorly. He was mostly good at tending his garden and fixing broken tools. Sometimes he shoed a horse. Sometimes he went to the mudflats to fish. Sometimes he drank too much and couldn’t stand up. Sometimes he screamed and cursed in the night, and sounded like another man entirely, and Cat would wriggle into her mother’s arms and bury her head in her mother’s chest and sing loudly with her until the screaming stopped.
Mother always sang while she worked. She sang while she swept out the hut, she sang while she washed their clothes in the stream, she sang while she baked, she sang while she hunted for mushrooms and berries, she sang while she fished, she sang while she helped another woman through labor pains, she sang Cat to sleep and Father to wake and she sang with their bird while the bird still lived.
Now the bird was dead. Cat prodded at it sadly with a grubby finger, through the twisted bars of its cage. Father had built the cage for the bird at Mother’s request. She’d found it with a broken wing; it would never fly truly again, so it was best to keep it nice and safe in the cage where at least it could cheer everyone up with its singing.
