    https://m.fanfiction.net/s/13016632/1/Wildling Ygritte survives the Attack on the Wall. Not a bad time waster. Writing is reasonably good after a medium first chapter, characterization pretty good. Not much divergence from Canon yet.

    Northern Wilds Jaime/Arya fic. Half crack, half interesting divergence, 1/3 romance. Well-written and great dialogue. Sort of whimsical too.

    The Wheel Unbroken is actually really good. Wow. People feel in character. People react to Jon changing stuff. So pleasantly surprised.

    The Prince that Didn't Come "Arya Stark does not visit the Crossroads Inn in Season 7, and the world of ice and fire is changed forever." -not the most groundbreaking fic, and set in the show-verse, which sucks, but it features an Arya Stark who reunites with the Starks way later than canon. Basically, an Arya who goes South before she goes North. I think Arya is well-characterized as an Arya searching for a purpose after getting her revenge on the Lannisters, the Freys, etc. Kind of...

    "A Song of Ice and Fire" stories

    Random complaint about ASOIAF fanfic. It amazes me, that with all the many possible divergence points in Canon, the rich story, etc. that authors still choose to blindly follow stations of canon. And the same super creepy, disturbing pairings: Sansa/Tyrion, Sansa/Clegane, in the midst of otherwise not so bad fiction. Ugh.

    Ehh I hated Purple Days. Endless repetition of the "purple agony" line, shitty writing, and the endless Yi Ti arc..

    Eh, I think the world building is enough for the story because it's clearly a character focused fic, not a fic focused in the intricacies of current Westeros. Small stuff like Moat Callin is the type of world building error a dedicated fan would notice, but not most others. I think the way the author handles the sex is better than 'hate sex'. The guilt afterwards, the reluctance to enjoy it, all make more sense than hate sex to me.

    I think the story will eventually get to that point. Already hints of conflict along those lines.

    Hold On To Your Heart -"Rhaegar Targaryen and his siblings have conquered the North with fire and blood. Lyanna Stark is left with no choice but to submit to save her family name-- even if it means she must wed their bastard brother Arthur Dayne." -really nice character development, romance, angst, etc. The best enemy-->lover arcs I've read. Arthur and Lyanna are not mary-sues, but flawed characters with interesting quirks. The world-building that you can see behind the scenes is also...

    I still have trouble imagining Bran becoming King, Dany killing that many Innocents and the Others not winning-- those are, in order, the most hard to believe plot points of the show that I can't see the book achieving. Like, in what universe does Bran become king? No one knows about him, would believe his greenseer powers, there's tons of other possible candidates before him, etc.

    The hilarious thing about Show!Tyrion is how incompetent he is...he is supposed to be giving Dany advice and yet almost Everytime, his advice is trash. More evidence the show fell apart after season 4.

    Ehh, I mean her and Robb are dumb enough to fuck where Jeyne Westerling can see and that gets back to Tywin. And the whole 'Tywin abusing/raping her' plotline didn't make a ton of sense to me beyond being a mechanism to introduce angst. But it's not a wholly unoriginal fic, and it's reasonably well written. In the ASOIAF fandom that's pretty rare.

    "A Song of Ice and Fire" stories

    The problem with a lot of ASOIAF fics is that authors are scared or unwilling to venture far from canon, so they make up stupid justifications for sticking to canon. If a Stark travels back in time who knows what happened at King's Landing, for instance, nothing similar to canon should occur. There's plenty of ways to prevent Ned from going South or not getting killed by Cersei. Lots of easy mistakes they should be telling Starks to watch out for. Have Ned fake illness. Have him break a...

    I like it. A bit confused as to Rhaegar's motivations, to be honest, but its original if nothing else.

    Sort of agreed. I like he thematic parallels of choosing between love and duty that Jon struggles with, but I do agree that the whole Robert plotline was meh.

    It's a great story. Interesting parallels to Canon, creative storylines, and pretty good characterization. A shame it's probably abandoned.

    I don't know, the age thing makes ASOIAF creepy, but also makes it more realistic. As horrifying as it is to modern sensibilities, 12-15 year-olds were fighting and dying a few hundred years ago. Easy to forget someone like Catelyn is, what, in her early 30's and already has 5 kids? Dany and Jon are still teenagers. Arya is really a child.

    Jon is not one of my favorite book characters. Always felt a bit underwhelming as a hero. Never felt him to be too charismatic. The whole scene where he gets warned of betrayal, and still dies, just turns me off to his character. It's been years since I read the books though, and I probably missed stuff- I think I need to reread them. I think there's a balance to be struck with Rhaegar. I like to view him as knowing it's idiotic but: 1. some sort of prophecy/dream that he must fulfill;...

    I wonder if Daenerys will still be born. Or if Rhaella will have more kids. I'm guessing Rhaegar won't live to see his prophecy fulfilled or dragons reborn-- but after he dies, Lyanna's kid(s) will be essential in some prophetic sense
