    Summary

    So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.

    Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.

    Or

    Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.

    Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

    Summary

    When Arya and Sansa reunite in the crypts, they take that one opportunity to plot and plan together, setting the stage for the future. There is a significant focus on actual preparation for the wars to come, for the winter to come, and to the various and sundry matters of military and civilian logistics, training, trade, espionage, alliances, and so on and so forth.

    Arya's connections with Braavos are also brought into play, as a priest of the Many-Faced God, a Faceless Man, and as someone who trained in Westeros with Syrio Forel, former First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos, and who also trained in Braavos with Qarro Volantin, current First Sword to the Sealord of Braavos.,

    This work contains significant planning, training, preparation, politics, logistics, and sisterly bonding!

    This follows fairly closely through Season 7 only for what was shown in Winterfell. There are serious changes to the underlying events, to their meaning, the preparation for the Long Night, and to the actual relationship between the sisters during their conversations.

    This continues post-Season 7 with no reference whatsoever to the show's Season 8.

    Summary

    A series of connected short stories set after ADWD/Season 6, with a mix of show and book elements. Jon, now King in the North, discovers his parentage and fights an ancient enemy. Daenerys arrives in Westeros, meets new allies, and battles for the right to rule the kingdom of her ancestors. Jaime Lannister seeks redemption and purpose, and the scattered Stark children return home, armed with new skills. Cersei struggles to keep her power, and the ancient orders of Westeros choose sides in the Game.

    Features: all of the Starks warging, the Brotherhood Without Banners, Edric Dayne, Harrold Hardying, Robb's will, Howland Reed, the lost Targaryen swords, Sam at the Citadel, Nymeria's pack of wolves, and more, though it is mostly centered around Winterfell and the Wall.

    (This story is basically the things I wanted to see, but the show never delivered, woven into a novel-length plot. Like a decent Jon + Arya reunion, Jon accepting his Targaryen heritage but remaining a Stark at heart, a relevant secret in the crypts of Winterfell, Arya dealing with her trauma, Jon and Dany meeting as equals, and lots of Stark family feels. Jonsa endgame, most likely, but this fic will focus on family, not a couple.)
