Summary
What if Ned wasn't beheaded in King's Landing and Catelyn didn't die at the Red Wedding? Just over two years ago I asked myself those questions, and with the encouragement of some wonderful people I started this story.
This story takes place entirely in the canon universe, diverging from GRRM's epic at two points--Ned's execution and Catelyn's murder at the Twins--and examines all the ways that the survival of these two people might have changed events both large and small in the world of Westeros. The ripples have far reaching consequences for many throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but at its heart, this is a story of two people, their marriage, their family, and the North.

Summary
"Ser Gendry Waters was a long way from the Vale, and he would find Winterfell no more welcoming than he’d found the Twins during the rebellion if Arya had anything to say about it. And Arya always had entirely too much to say. He might have thought her a lady at the tourney- he must have, to beg her favor and give her his crown of Love and Beauty-but this was the North. Things were different here; he’d see soon enough. Arya Stark was no lady at all."
Arya/Gendry AU where everyone doesn't die and Starks are happy (?). Minor Meera/Bran and mentions of Robb/Dacey.

Summary
He shrugs. "My honor has been maligned, I have to--"
"Your honor is in your dick?"
"Oh, it's not just my dick," he tells her, his grin going wicked. "It's also my hands, my tongue, my--"
"Stop." She waves her hands in front of her, trying to ward off the images that are suddenly flickering through her brain like a pornographic slideshow.
He crosses his arms over his chest, making his biceps bulge in a way that she's positive is intentional. "All I'm saying is that I bet I could get you screaming my name. And you obviously know I'm right, since you're too chicken to let me."
Brienne grits her teeth. She is absolutely not going to fool around with her semi-drunk, rebounding best friend and roommate because he dared her to. She is not. She is--
"Fine," she snaps. "Give it your best shot."
Or, "Fucking Your Way To Feelings in Five Weeks or Less"

Summary
Jaime didn’t like the Starks at all. He didn’t like their earnestness and honesty and prudishness, he didn’t like their cold heavy-walled castle, he didn’t like their frozen block of a realm, and he especially didn’t like Robb Stark, who had saved his son’s life and been kind to him and got him to sleep, and what business of his was it to have done any of those things?

Run Mad As Often As You Choose | End Racism in the OTW by brynnmck for nire

Summary
Faced with the untimely death of her brother and the resulting threat of losing her guardianship of her wards, Sansa and Arya Stark, Lady Brienne Tarth determines that she has no choice but to dress and act as Galladon until such time as she can see Sansa safely married. Enter infamous rake Jaime Lannister, Lord Casterly, sent to secure Sansa's hand on behalf of the marquess Aerys Targaryen. It should be a most fortunate arrangement, except that much as Brienne's present is not all it seems, neither is Jaime's past, and--quite inconveniently for both--they find themselves wondering whether they might have a future together.
Or: five times Brienne refused Jaime's proposal, and one time she proposed to him. (And also she's wearing 19th-century men's fashion because of reasons and fuck the patriarchy.)
Curious about the title of this fic? I’m joining an effort to call on AO3 to fulfill commitments they have already made to address harassment and racist abuse on the archive. Read more, boost, and get involved here!

Summary
Jaime, Brienne, football, feminism, friendship, dogs, cake, sex. Good things, basically. No one is getting crushed by bricks after a wildly unbelievable 'relapse' in this story. No one is ending up celibate and having to spend their life playing the diplomat between lots of men who have failed upwards.
Modern universe, this world.
It'll probably be quite crude.

Summary
Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”
