Summary
Lyarra Snow has spent her life in the shadow of Winterfell.
Bastard-born and marked by strange purple eyes, she's always known she belongs to House Stark only by sufferance. Lady Catelyn’s coldness, rumors of a lost Dornish mother, and the ache of being almost, but never truly, one of Ned Stark’s children have shaped her into a girl desperate for place, purpose and the home she fears she can never fully claim.
When Lord Eddard rides south and tragedy strikes Winterfell, Lyarra steps into duties no one expected of her. Beside Robb Stark, she helps hold the castle together, counsels him, and becomes close to the lady she always dreamed of being.
But power is never clean, and neither is love. As Robb calls the banners, the bond between them deepens into a secret neither duty nor shame can untangle. Lyarra rides with him as counselor, sister, lover, and would-be lady, determined to help him save their father and sisters from the lions’ claws.
Yet war awakens more than ambition. Wolf dreams, crows, dead kings, and dragonfire haunt her sleep, while old secrets stir.
Lyarra Snow wants Winterfell.
The gods may have made her for something far more dangerous.

Summary
It was a monstrous jape, she thought bitterly. Proof that the gods did not exist, or worse – that they delighted in her torment. She had slipped free of death's cold grasp, had escaped that dreadful match with Lord Manderly, only to be shackled to Vaegon instead.
Her cold, strange brother, who looked through her like she was some riddle he had no interest in solving.
Handsome enough, she supposed. Tall. Intelligent, she could admit.
But what did it matter when every word from his mouth made her seethe?

Summary
“Seventy years we will give you back, a gift of life you should have had, but nothing gained is ever free, paid in years they shall not see.”
The deal is made. Yet when Maester Aemon wakes up, sure that it was but a cruel dream and he is still alive with the regrets of a lifetime consuming him, he expects to hear Samwell Tarly and Gilly and to still be at sea.
Instead, he finds himself in a feather bed in chambers he has not seen in over seventy years, in a time he has no business being in, and with a man he had not hoped to see again sat by his bedside.
Yet even the Gods can’t predict just how differently things go. Really, he should have known better than to expect changing the future to be simple.

Summary
With six treacherous knives in his heart, Jon is forced on an unwilling voyage through the cold and the dark in the flesh of another.
What happens when he's eventually forced back?
It was always said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt, and that both its price and its outcome could be both wondrous and horrendous indeed, for all.
How will Westeros deal with the resurrected Black Bastard, whose famous honor seems to lie forgotten in favor of newfound ruthlessness? Whose father's lessons seem to have been buried beneath the many shards of his shattered memories?
How will the Boltons and their allies handle a Jon whose savagery rivals and surpasses Ramsay's own?
How will Howland Reed handle reuniting with the son of the woman who once saved him, only to bear witness to what he has become?
How will Daenerys deal with this broken warrior of a man, who terrifies her as much as he excites her? The savage power of Drogo with the charisma of Daario and none of the swagger.
Or: A broken and shattered Book!Jon wakes up in the showverse and makes it everyone’s problem.

Our Tragedy Was Love but the Dream of Spring Brings Hope by MaxWizTavern

Summary
Ned Stark, known as the quiet wolf, has all his life been brought South for the grand Tourney of Harrenhall. He found himself stumbling over his own words as his elder brother thrust him into a dance with the most beautiful lady of the realm, Ashara Dayne. What many couldn’t believe, nor was he thinking of finding love in the cursed place of Harrenhall.
This story follows two separate timeline arcs, each leading toward vastly different futures. As you read, starting at chapter five, you may choose which path you prefer as the true course of this world: one shaped more heavily by grief, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of war, while the other leans toward healing, family, and the fragile hope of spring. In the end, the choice of which story truly lives belongs to you :)
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story differs from the original, though many of the characters are from canon.
