    Summary

    Robb knows duty, he learned it standing at his father’s knee and sitting on his mother’s lap before he had a concept of what it actually meant. He was born to be Lord of Winterfell, Warden of the North. Kingship was never supposed to be on the table for him. But his family has been torn apart one too many times, and war seems endless; his only option now is to burrow in for the long winter, no matter the cost.

    (And if that cost is his life? Well it’s a calculated risk he took the day they laid that weighty bronze circlet on his brow, naming him King.)

     

    --

    Or;

    When the Tyrells switch allegiance before Robb Stark can be killed by the Lannisters, it only serves to stoke the fires of the wars in Westeros, the after effects rippling across the realm for years to come.

    Summary

    (a semi-AU reimagining of seasons 1 and 2)

    There are two new arrivals on East 61st St in the spring of 1882, but they couldn’t be more different.

    Marian Brook Montgomery is a penniless young widow who has come to live with her estranged aunts after the sudden deaths of both her father and husband leave her unexpectedly destitute. The deaths of both men have made her intimately aware of all the ways men can betray her. She arrives in New York grieving, hurt, and more than a little angry, looking for a friend and a fresh start.

    Larry Russell, the son of one of New York's richest men, is newly home from Harvard, determined to make his own way in the world — and have more than a little fun while he’s at it. When he becomes friends with the prettiest young widow he's ever met (Larry likes widows), he thinks she might be open to (a lot) more than friendship. Turns out this was a major mistake.

    After getting off (...or not) on the wrong foot, they keep bumping into each other, gradually becoming friends...and then falling in love. Too bad Larry's sleeping with the wrong widow & Marian's being courted by Tom Raikes.

    Summary

    As it turns out, no one ever taught Luke how to tie a little green baby to his back one-handed, but Luke thinks he's pretty gods-damned good at problem-solving under pressure, thank you, and the baby is at least semi-cooperative. When he's sure the kid is strapped in as tight as he can get, Luke pauses, and reaches back. His fingers graze the wide point of the baby's fuzzy ear. "Well, kid," says Luke, and his voice is a little rough, but not bad, all things considered. "Carrying you on my back while getting the absolute banthashit kicked out of me, at least this feels familiar."

    The baby coos in his ear, and then kicks him hard in the kidney. Yoda used to do the exact same thing. Somehow, it's a lot more endearing now.

    Or: Luke Skywalker solves a number of life-or-death problems, makes some new friends, falls abruptly in love, and gets shot into space, all in the same day.

    Summary

    Jamie’s more than proven herself, she’s scored more goals than bloody Jesus, and still the fucking Mirror can’t find anything better to talk about than whether she’s a PREGGERS FOOTBALLER? just because some dickhead took a photo of her buying jaffa cakes and day-old sushi at eleven p.m.
