The A Song of Ice & Fire Big Bang will run from MAY 1 through DECEMBER 1, with signups beginning in April.

When the early drafts of the stories are available, each writer is assigned an artist, who will create fanart to go along with the story. The fic&art collaborative work will be posted in December 2015. Please read the FAQ for more information! Track the tag #2015asoiafbb

Dragons Never Forget

Rhaella Targaryen lost her crown, her home, her husband, her firstborn, and her grandchildren in a matter of months. The day her daughter was born, amidst a raging storm, she had nearly lost hope… Yet she found hope in the eyes of her young son and newborn daughter.

A fallen queen may not have any freedom, but she still has a will and the strength to use that will to her own ends. The dragons may have been defeated, but they would not forget.

AU in which Rhaella Targaryen survives birthing Daenerys and remains in Westeros with Dany while Viserys is exiled to Essos for his safety.

Ten Thousand Ships, written by @thegoldofwinterfell, created for @asoiafbigbang

Fire burns, she thought.  Dragon flame will destroy your ships.  A wise leader fears that which would destroy her.  She remembered her mother’s voice.  Nymeria had been so sure then that cleaving to the river was what would keep her people safe then.  Why then now was she not sure?   What happens if we do not cleave to the river?

“This is a war we cannot hope to win,” she heard herself saying.  All of them stared at her, and Nymeria suddenly found her mouth very dry.  “I should like to.  To keep our people and our cities safe.  To show those who would make us submit that we are neither cowards nor weak adversaries.  But our ships are not enough to send the dragons back to Valyria.”

Liya Kebede as Nymeria of Ny Sar

Title: Ten Thousand Ships Author: crossingwinter Tumblr: thegoldofwinterfell Word Count: 41,312 Summary: Singers sang of her ten thousand, of her loves, of how bright her star shone, of how hot her ships burned.  But Nymeria’s song began long before she set foot in Dorne.

Summary: ASOIAF fairy tale. Once, when the dragons slept in cold stone and the dead were buried as their kin wished…… a King had three daughters, all as different as could be….a curse was cast on an already uneasy castle….and the young ladies of the Court watched with secrets in their eyes.

Rosa Regale, written by La Reine Noire (poorshadowspaintedqueens), created for the @asoiafbigbang

Redwynes were not known for their wits so it was a blessing of the Seven that Olenna’s mother was a Hightower of Oldtown who presented her daughter with books instead of looking-glasses. You can win a kingdom with beauty, Yseult Hightower was known to have said, but only wits will keep it for you.

Diana Rigg as Olenna Redwyne, Jaime Olías as Daeron Targaryen, Maimie McCoy as Aelinor Tyrell, Merve Boluğur as Betha Blackwood, Berk Cankat as Luthor Tyrell, and Helen McCrory as Yseult Hightower
