a non-comprehensive list of my favorite arya/gendry fics
required reading; or: arya and gendry fall in love today, tomorrow, and probably for the rest of eternity (modern au)
hope will put the colors in the sky by monroeslittle
the most iconic gendrya modern!au. reading this is an intitation into the gendrya fandom. so true to their characters and angsty and will probably hurt you but still so good.
we can pretend that they don’t know our name by scrubclub
fulfills your wildest richgirl!arya x stableboy!gendry dreams. this fic is an absolute gift. please read it for the romance in the countryside aesthetic and the westerosi political intrigue. inspired by this timeless photoset.
the dating game by scrubclub
arya’s friends set her up on dates and have a terrible taste in men, but that’s okay because there’s good old gendry right around the corner if only both of them would open their eyes.
the waiting game by scrubclub
companion to “the dating game” by scrubclub, equally adorable, guaranteed to make you love gendry more if that was even possible.
pascal’s triangle, revisited. by pentaghastly
in which arya thinks sansa and gendry are together behind her back, and gendry continues to be a clueless idiot with hearts in his eyes. fluffy and angsty and straight out of a teen romcom, just the way i like it.
insert here - a sentiment re: our golden years by pentaghastly
the fake!dating trope is a privilege and a right.
five times in the bathroom by stutteringpeach
obviously arya and gendry can’t stay away from each other. in different bathrooms. repeatedly.
grrm wishes he wrote this (in-universe au)
all we know is falling by youcallitwinter
a beautiful take on gendry in the post-season two uncertainty.
when next to wild animals – by arbitrarily
haunting, mesmerizing, dark and twisty; a third person, almost out-of-body narration of a girl and no one.
five times arya stark shared a bed with gendry by vixleonard
it is established canon that arya and gendry slept next to each other and that is of greatest importance; end of message.
gonna make this place your home by argyledpenguin
(part 1) (part 2) (part 3) (part 4) (part 5)
a series of five different au’s that range from arya and gendry growing up on the streets of king’s landing; a gendry stark character swap; and arya as a granddaughter of the lannisters.
a dark world aches (for a splash of the sun) by argyledpenguin
(part 1) (part 2) (part 3) (part 4)
a four-part au about prince gendry, heir to the throne, and lady arya, his bethrothed, and the royalty!au we deserve because theirs is the fury (and fury burns).
another in-universe au by argyledpenguin
they are betrothed at an early age and slowly fall in love because of course they do, they always do.
they belong together, again and again and again (other au)
dream until your dreams come true by crossingwinter
softball and dreams and guess what they were soulmates. a soulmates fic where the soulmates don’t communicate and it gets angsty but it’s so obvious they love each other.
misfits au by argyledpenguin
in which arya really is death and there’s superhuman powers and time travel and arya and gendry fall in love in this one too.
the dry season by arbitrarily
a stylistic masterpiece. the starks meets the grapes of wrath. arya finding justice when it bled her dry. gendry on a ranch, leaned against his worn pickup truck.
fixing the hole that season 8 left in us (s8 canon)
award for best use of a “still rowing” punchline. bonus points for jon losing his mind over his little sister and the random blacksmith he met in a cave.
5 ways jon snow finds out about arya and gendry by vixleonard
another jon snow knows nothing fic because arya and gendry are the opposite of subtle.
arya and the hound on the road to king’s landing and the comedy writes itself.
i will read any and all fic where the hound spectates his favorite idiot murder couple.
with the wild wolves around you by lady_lyannarose
post battle-fic that is so soft and tender and aches with beautiful prose: “he’ll love her anywhere she’ll let him.”
quiet birds in circled flight, soft stars that shine at night by Anonymous
arya reflects on surviving the long night and the life that comes after.
