    Summary

    A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.

    No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.

    Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

    Summary

    Two years ago, someone who was not Daenerys Targaryen woke up in her body months before the plot would begin. Escaping to the salty docks of Braavos to become a midwife, Libertas continues on the upward climb of surviving the world, now with people at her back.

    However, between planning for the war with the Night King and dodging the many attempts at dragging her fully back into the plot she stubbornly tries to avoid, new relationships are formed as old ones are tested. And on the tail of all the turmoil, Libertas must overcome one of her worst fears: Flying

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, Maegelle Targaryen was not particularly pious.

    Once, she had been — or at least, a version of her had. That Maegelle prayed faithfully until the day she died, and no prayer saved her.

    She wakes again as a girl of ten, her mind burdened with knowledge of a future steeped in fire, grief, and quiet tragedies history would later dismiss as inevitable. Armed with memory rather than prophecy, Maegelle is trapped in a court where knowledge without power is its own kind of danger.

    Promised to the Faith before she was old enough to choose, she had been removed from the board without question — and with her, any chance to intervene when her family needed her most. Determined not to let history repeat itself, Maegelle sets out to delay, resist, and ultimately challenge the path laid out for her.

    She may not be able to stop every tragedy to come, but she can refuse to vanish quietly this time.

    Summary

    As it turns out, it doesn't take much to save a queen, and it may well change the course of Westeros as a result.

    Summary

    What would you do in the villain’s place?

    An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.

    It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.
