    Summary

    The Crown Prince's wife is determined that her brother will not be any worse off than he ever was as result of his promise to her. To that end, she plans to use Lord Whent's event to find him, and herself, a shield against the plotting of some of the realm's lords. Her attention falls upon the guileless Northerner maiden whose manner impresses her and whose position delights her, for the girl is but a natural daughter and asking her from her father is not like to create dissent.

    Given the opportunity to repay her father for years of care, Lyanna sees her plans for the future brought to a halt. Should she accept the Princess' proposal there is a promise of favour for her brothers and father. Knowing such a decision cannot be taken back, she finds herself weighing the value of those promises against her wish for a simple, uncomplicated life. If she consents, the rest of her existence shall revolve around the schemes of power-hungry lords and there is no guarantee of kindness for her.

    AU! Lyanna thought she might dip her toes in the intrigues of her betters, but in King Aerys' court there is no such thing as half-measures. Not for those who mean to survive.

    Summary

    As the sweating sickness sweeps through the land of Westeros, it sinks its fangs into nobles and peasants alike. None is safe. Princess Shaena Targaryen is stricken with the illness and though all is done to save her, her worth is lost in sweat and fever.

    Rhaegar Targaryen is obliged to look elsewhere for a wife. And the best place to start, to his mind is at Lord Whent's tourney, a celebration for the survivors and a place where alliances will be forged and fates broken.

    Lyanna Stark is looking to escape a prospective alliance with House Baratheon. And those who seek shall find. To be given a crown besides, far from being a hardship, is actually quite appealing.

    Or, that AU in which it is Lyanna who has Southron ambitions, and they run far deeper than her father's.

    Summary

    Jon Snow has had a terrible day, first being betrayed and stabbed by the men of the Night's Watch and then falling through the sky above an island he's never seen before. When he's caught by a dragon of all things and questioned by a woman claiming to be Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, he's convinced he's gone mad. Surely he hasn't ended up nearly two centuries in the past, right?
