Asha Greyjoy finds shelter in a forsaken alehouse. With the Storm God raging outside, she is grateful for the warm and dry place, even though she is stuck inside with a bunch of chatty strangers, at least until the storm quiets down.

Voting for the Night's King Halloween contest has begun and we will be highlighting the submissions from our talented writers on this blog! To start us off, here's, ‘There's a Ghost Beneath Casterly Rock.’
Summary:
There were three things Jaime Lannister knew for certain: First, there is a ghost beneath Casterly Rock. Second, he is the only one who can hear her wailing in the dark. Third, nobody but Tyrion believes him.
In which some secrets are buried so deep that only children are foolish enough to dig them up.

Are you feeling the festive spirit? Wondering what secret gift you might get these holidays? Then we at Braavos are happy to present, The Kindly Man’s Gift Exchange!
Sign up now!
How it works:
You offer to create a work of fanfic, or fanart, and in exchange you will receive a work of fanfic, or fanart, based upon your own personal preferences. In the sign-up you will be able to specify which characters, ships, etc., you are willing to create, as well as make a request specifying what sort of gift you would like to receive (fic or art, feel free to request either if you have no preference), which characters you would like it to feature, as well as a prompt to help your gifter create something you would enjoy.
Keep in mind that the more obscure your request, the more difficult it will be for us to match you, so while you are encouraged to request rair-pairs and lesser known characters, if you do so, make sure that you have other characters/pairings in your request as well.
Important dates:
Sign ups begin on November 3rd at 12:30am EST (USA Eastern Standard time).
Sign ups close on November 10th at 12:30am EST
Assignments sent out November 17th at 12:30am EST
Gifts due on January 17th at 12:30am EST
Gifts revealed in anon mode and sent to giftees on January 17th 10am EST
Gifter identities revealed January 18th 10am EST
On the AO3 sign up form you will see a link to an additional google form. Please make sure you fill out your character preferences on AO3 and also use the additional google form to provide us with more information about your offer/request. Both are required to successfully match you with a giftee/gifter. If you lose the link to the form, you can find it here.
More information including FAQ and Rules can be found on AO3 here.
And as always, please reach out if you have any questions, and check out the Free City of Braavos server!

Voting for the Night's King Halloween contest has begun and we will be highlighting the submissions from our talented writers on this blog! Next up we have Frostbite
Summary:
“No mother deserves to watch her children die,” she had overheard a guard mentioning once, though she had not seen his face nor the coat of arms he bore in his chest. Am I still a mother if I have no children left to me? Catelyn wondered. Is an apple tree still a tree after it's been carved out? She found it hard to swallow. Did the Lord of Leeches crave the woman or the statue?
Catelyn is spared in the Red Wedding on the orders of the same lord that killed her son. Brought to the Dreadfort alongside his forces, she finds her heart has grown hollow amidst tragedy. Even so, Roose Bolton is a strange man with stranger vices, and teaches her there is still a strange sort of thrill to feeling fear.
