Summary
Just my interpretation of Malcolm’s inner thoughts during the end of season 2 and his father’s ‘new self’.
Nothing earth shattering, just totally hooked again and sad that we aren’t seeing the fallout of this shocking blow to Malcolm’s sense of self/reality. Poor guy needs a hug.
Unbetaed, rough draftish

Summary
‘Is the prophecy true?’
He felt his heart freeze and plummet when his father abruptly changed the subject.‘It’s your birthday…’ Marcus said ducking his head, voice raw with emotion.
A rabid wolf is put down, and Nathan is secretly relieved.
It’s not until he’s finally caught up in sleep, weeks later, and he lying in another strange bed between Annalise and Gabriel, does he realize and startle in horror. His father never answered the question.
AU to books.

Summary
Maybe it IS that kind of story…in a messed up way. Typical, thought Nathan.
Follows the story The Ties That Bind, but can stand alone. But AU because Ceelia.
A crack at the post-finale, featuring a more involved Marcus and a living Ceelia.

“The Memory dust—Night’s Breath,” said the healer Hildegard. “But our memories are not truly lost. The powder just simply blocks or erodes the pathways to those memories. Its effects can be reversed by a Mind Delver.”

Heir of the Last Dragon 2.0 by ThunderHawk727

Summary
What if Ned Stark had spared Ser Arthur Dayne, Ser Gerold Hightower, and Ser Oswell Whent at the Tower of Joy? What if the events of Game of Thrones happened differently? What if Ned Stark had told Jon who his mother was? When Ned Stark tells Jon Snow his true name, he goes east. To Essos. Then Valyria. The House of the Dragon will rise once again, to greater heights than anyone could have imagined. This is a rework of the original fic I posted awhile ago. I found the writing style did not reflect the way I wanted to do this fic. There will be chapters that feel very similar to the original fic, and there will be chapters that did not make the cut.

Rhaenyra and Daemon demand there is a debt to be paid.
On behalf of his family, Aemond takes it upon himself to repay that debt.

Summary
"Don’t be afraid. He will not harm you… unless you give him cause."
Rhaena told true. Outside of the recent battle, the dragon was not aggressive towards humans except if provoked. But this Hightower wouldn't know it.
They should be sworn enemies, yet before the chance encounter between Gwayne Hightower and Rhaena daughter of Daemon, their story may have been written in the stars.

Summary
Right as Rhaenyra was about to give up and flee her tour two months early without a suitor, she met Rickon Stark, the young future Lord of Winterfell. Perhaps she was putting too much stock in a prophecy that could've been decades, even centuries, away from being fulfilled. Still...
From my blood come the prince that was promised, and his will be the song of ice and fire.
Ice and fire.
On the surface, Rickon could've perhaps been called boring if she was being ungenerous. But where she was fire, he was ice; it was clear beneath those cold eyes laid a very sharp edge. It shouldn't have been intriguing, but it was.
