5 + 1 Fic Friday Roundup: New Houses of ASOIAF
Well, March used to be the first month so in the theme of firsts: have some fics that include a newly established noble house in the ASOIAF/GOT universe. Plus, one house that got bumped up from noble to royal.
The Winter of Widows (SB) - "When she'd awoken to a new life in Westeros instead of dying a horrible death, Ursula Mires had almost done the sensible thing. Only a year away from being sworn to the Faith as a Septa and relative independence in a cloister, she had made peace with her life. What little she could remember of how the Dance went had been shared secretly with her father and kept him alive. House Mires survived the civil war and should have gone on happily without her, until at the start of winter tragedy struck. Now the only heir to a floundering House she wants nothing to do with, Ursula finds herself in a similar position to many ladies after the war. It is a season the maesters will call 'the winter of widows'."
Dread Our Wrath (SB) - "A man from modern times awakens as the heir of a newly arisen house in one of the more backwater regions the Stormlands. It is approximately a decade and a half before the Conquest of Dorne under Daeron I Targaryen, and all the dragons have died out. What will he do to not only survive but thrive in a brutal realm like Westeros? With the changes he will slowly but surely bring, just how great will this Westeros diverge from the one he knew as a work of fiction?"
Deeds, not Words (SB) - "A man from our world is trapped in the body of a Westerosi. Set in 50AC."
A Farmer's Tale (SB / AO3) - "A 30 year old American farmer is sent to the world of ASOIAF. Follow as he tries to create a life for himself."
Deep Wells, Deep Deeds (SB / AO3) - "Lord Stark called his banners, and the Wells sent their second son, Matrim. He always knew he'd have to do his duty in whatever form it came, but duty isn't such an easy thing to know when you march against your King in civil war. Half remembered dreams of another world don't help, but by the gods, he'll stand tall in defense of your Lord, no matter the odds."
Bonus: A Trident is Reforged (SB) - "Axel found me down in the cellar where House Tully kept all its wines."
