Eddard Stark16th Day of the 5th Moon Ned groaned tiredly and took a generous gulp from his cup of ale. Juggling Robert, the royal party, and his bannermen quickly became tiring. His lessons with Robb became far rarer and shorter, and Ned even managed to sneak a few sparring sessions in a private yard very early in the morn, relieving some of his tension. "I hope there are no more mishaps." "I'd hardly call a training yard spat a mishap," Howland chuckled. "Those happen all the time." "Both the…- 671.1 K • Completed
Year 2319. The Ruins of London. The once great city of London had been reduced to ruin. Building grasping for the sky had been shattered as if a giant hammer had smashed them. Whole districts had been flattened, and only craters filled with noxious fumes remained of the flats and houses that dotted the city's neighbourhoods. The city had become one giant graveyard. It was as quiet as a grave, too. A cloaked figure sat in reminiscence atop a pile of rubble, looking more like a statue than a living…- 401.2 K • Ongoing
- 11th of November, Monday "I don't like it, Albus," Armando Dippet grumbled from the portrait. "You should have dissolved the Board of Governors when you had the chance." "While cumbersome, the Board guaranteed Hogwarts some independence from the Wizard's Council and later the Wizengamot. You should well know that, Armando." While the Board was often a nuisance, they had their uses. Nearly half of Hogwarts' yearly budget came from their pockets, and they were responsible for the school's public…

- 24th of July, 1991 He had no idea how long he was staring at the dark ink. Privet Driver number six? Was his memory faulty? Or was this just another change? He remembered the Dursleys lived in Number Four Privet Drive, not Number Six. He sighed and rummaged through a small drawer in the corner to find a pen and a piece of paper. What would he even write? He knew Vernon would not spare even a penny for him to visit London. Without a wand, Harry Potter was utterly helpless. During the last year on…

- Lysara Liddle Her heart sang with joy as the young man heroically leapt and drove his spear through the enormous snow bear's eye. The beast instantly slumped, but the gigantic paw that was already in motion still struck him. Lysara froze as her saviour's body rolled through the packed ground like a ragdoll. A moment later, he finally stopped at the roots of an ancient oak. After a few moments, the young maiden got out of her stupor and cautiously eyed the sprawled snow bear. It was not moving at…

- The Young Queen The piece of ice flickered almost gold and red in the dying flames of the torches as it swung at her neck so quickly that Shireen's eyes struggled to follow. TING! The sword jerked away from her neck; the keening wail lingered in the air like a dirge as the ground between her and the Night King exploded in frost and stone. She felt the shrapnel bounce off her brigandine, and painful jolts ran through her feet and gloved hands, shielding her face. The Night King had retreated a…

- th Day of the 5th Moon, Castle BlackThe First Ranger Four of them were crammed inside the Lord Commander's solar, looking over the map of Beyond the Wall. "You expect us to believe this… old wives' tale?" Ser Alliser snorted. Benjen could clearly detect the hint of derision in his flinty voice, but he cared not. He knew the man was bitter and did not begrudge him. Many forced between the black, the block, or losing some limb held resentment. Nowadays, few came to the Watch on their own, and even…

- 18th Day of the 4th MoonSomewhere in the Northern MountainsJon Snow As the sun crawled towards the western horizon, a grey owl hooted from the nearby pines. This part of the mountains had grown wild, and there was scarcely a trace of human activity; the roads had all narrowed and were covered in bushes and weeds. The fertile parts of the gift had long grown fallow, and the forests had slowly begun to reclaim them. The part with the northern mountains reminded Jon of the Haunted Forest, albeit more…

- 2nd of May, 1998 Harry lay face down on the carpet, his mind racing madly. He thought he would see the secret to victory in that pensive. And he did, just not in the way he'd expected. The dreams of creating his own cosy little family and his plan to travel the world and see its wonders were dust in the wind. He would never enjoy the taste of treacle tart or feel the wind blowing on his face as he rode a broom ever again. Because Harry Potter was never supposed to survive. What did he work and…

- Renly's Rebellion–also known as the War of the Five Kings—two years of religious turmoil and upheaval saw a great religious change.Under the auspices of Regent Eddard Stark and the High Septon, the Doctrine of Acceptance was pushed forth across the realm. It was said that the Green Men of the Isle of Faces played a role, but none could say if it was significant or not. It officially acknowledged the existence of the Old Gods of River and Stone, Wood and Wind, as represented by the newly formed Green…
