He’s nervous, and rightfully so. It’s not everyday that the person whose life you single-handedly ruined asks to see you. If he’s lucky, she’s stood him up.

Summary
The Song is sung, and the Dawn is won, but the victory is bittersweet, and the cost is too high. Yet there is little that could not be done with magic if you were willing to pay the price. Dues are paid, fates are changed, and even destiny itself is covered with a shroud. AU + Time travel. Or alternately:
The Battle for the Dawn is won, but everyone Bran knew was dead, so he throws a tantrum of epic proportions and drags Bloodraven into tossing unsuspecting and just freshly killed Jon Snow back into the past by sacrificing themselves. Messing with time makes ripples in the timeline, and some things are not the same.

Summary
The Targaryens have taken so much from him. Too much. His father. His brother. His sister. His lovely, wild, beautiful, brave older sister.
They will not take her son as well. Benjen won’t allow it.
(Or, how Rhaegar lives and Lyanna doesn’t.)

Summary
Lyanna Stark always knew she would marry into a southron family to build alliances for the north. But she never guessed the royal family would make a hasty proposal, all but demanding the Starks send their only daughter south to marry the Crown Prince Rhaegar. Lyanna travels to King’s Landing, unprepared for a court of scheming vipers and a mad king who delights at tormenting her at every turn. Most troubling of all, Lyanna struggles to understand her betrothed—a charismatic warrior, musician, and scholar, who is obsessed with northern lore and prophecy. The northern lass must become a savy southron princess in order to survive in the midst of a troubled family and a court on the brink of war.

Summary
Aerys II passed the crown to his son Rhaegar before his madness could bring about the downfall of House Targaryen. A few years into King Rhaegar's reign, the dragons come back to life. When more and more rangers get lost beyond the Wall and priests of R'hllor begin to see visions in the flames of the upcoming threat, it strengthens Rhaegar's belief that the war for the dawn is about to come.
But with only two children, Aegon and Rhaenys, to ride the three dragons and with several political crises, even to the point of threatening rebellion against the crown, lurking in the shadows, the danger for Westeros and all of mankind seems greater than ever. Suddenly the burden of saving the realm and all of mankind rests on the shoulders of Rhaegar's children, known and unknown.

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.
