Summary: King Enji of Boreas is rumored to be benevolent and kind to all, slow to anger and abundant in patience. Princess Arya of Notus, contrarily, is rumored to be cold and callous to her subjects, lacking empathy or a conscience. It takes a proffered marriage proposal for both of them to learn the truth.

Author's Note: This is based off of a challenge from a Discord server I'm in. The mood board for the challenge is pictured below.

“Look at me, Princess.”

King Enji of Boreas sits across from me with a menacing aura that has settled nations without lifting a single sword. The countries around him herald his nature as benevolent and warm like the fiery power he possesses just as they curse me to be malevolent and cold like the icy magic trickling through my veins.

Ironically, neither proposition rings with much truth from my observations.

“You have given me a week to court you and convince you of a marriage alliance with Notus.” I begin, setting down my teacup. “What if I were to tell you I’ll give you a week to sell the grandeur of Boreas to me?”

“I’d say you’re a fool.” Enji captures me in a heated gaze. “Why propose a marriage with me if you weren’t already placated with the kingdom you seek to become a part of?”

“Frankly, Your Highness, information about neighboring kingdoms offer little to satisfy me. Your scholars have surely told you of my country’s most recent war with Erebus, surely?” “Yes. And how your family is the direct cause.” He growls out.

“Of course, you’d know that.” I nod, lacing my fingers together on the table. “But what your scholars can’t tell you is that right now the kingdom of Notus thrives with recovery efforts despite the despicable actions caused by my parents – they can’t tell you that our farms flourish with people banded together for good, or that the only reason my parents have sent me to marry you is because they intend to banish me with the hope it’ll cripple our land.”

“Lady Lachlan has told me about their motives, as you’ve asked.” Enji nods to the woman sitting under a Pagoda tree in the distance. “But that does little to convince me of seeing you as a suitable candidate given your reputation.”

“Ah, and that is another reason I do not trust common knowledge regarding the information related to your kingdom.” I sigh, forcing my facial expressions into submission.

He catches the irritation that flutters across my face before I can stop it, however.

“Is that so? A princess who is said to be cold and cruel. It would fit the preceding mold of your parents, who started a war for their own gain, don’t you think?” Enji leans closer over the table. “How can I trust that your offer isn’t just an attempt to elicit my sympathy and take my life? Is that why you won’t call off your guard dog? When you kill me, you’ll need a witness of your innocence, right?”

I’ve all but forgotten Toshinori’s presence behind me. Ever since I can remember he’s been charged with keeping me safe. He is my perfect protector, a shadow trailing after me wherever I go who has proven himself a symbol of peace and prosperity.

Across from me, the king of Boreas intends to intimidate, but only succeeds in making my blood buzz with a challenge. His cold blue eyes burn with passion that I find myself yearning to fuel.

“Were those rumors to be believed, that must mean you are a king benevolent and kind to all. A king slow to anger and quick to patience. Yet, here you sit, subtly accusing me of plotting your assassination as we sit for a cup of tea.” I chuckle, waving Toshinori off. “Leave us, Toshinori.”

He stiffens behind you.

“My princess–”

“That’s an order.” I ground out. “Give Lady Lachlan some company if you desire, or stand at the perimeter. But leave us.”

It takes a moment or two, but with a set jaw and a curt bow, he takes his leave.

“Does that offer you more comfort?” I raise a brow.

“Walk with me and I’ll decide.” Enji demands, rising abruptly.

I ignore the way Toshinori snaps his head in my direction when we walk by him and onto a trail into the nearby garden outside the courtyard. When he takes a step in my direction, I halt him with my hand.

“You’ll have to forgive Toshinori; he has protected me since I was a babe.” I observe the dying rose bushes and revive them with a wave of my hand.

Silence answers me as Enji walks straight ahead, leading me into a gazebo where he takes a seat and offers me the spot beside him. His warmth seeps into my skin as he crosses his ankles and pulls me against his side by the shoulders.

“You are fearless, I’ll give you that, Princess.” He holds me captive in his gaze – his demeanor relaxes for a breath – before his features crinkle with disdain. “But many princesses before have tried courting me and all have failed. Let’s say your story is true and your parents really are seeking to banish you to my kingdom, what’s the benefit of a marriage? Why shouldn’t I just send you back to Notus?”

A sharp breath skates past my nostrils as I let my hair hide an amused smile. Why shouldn’t you send me back? Well, I’d surely die. Of course, that means little to you. 

Memories swirl in my mind like smoke as death reminds me of Grandpa. Of Grandpa squeezing my hand on his own deathbed – You will be a wise ruler one day and they will hate you for it, but if you remember nothing else, remember this: trust yourself. You are smarter than you think, my heart.

“You are free to do as you wish, for you are a king.” I shrug, shocked when his fingers link in mine. My heart drops to my toes while pink paints my cheeks. “But if you send me away you lose insider information on a neighboring kingdom that you’ve already discerned has rulers capable of foul play. I don’t care if you believe me or not, but sending me back to Notus will be my death sentence. With me by your side, regardless of if you trust me, I have information you will not find elsewhere at your disposal.”

An autumn breeze combs my hair and threatens to topple my crown, but I’m much too distracted with drawing fanciful shapes into the calloused skin of Enji’s palm.

I shiver and his hand comes under my chin. The rough, frigid edges of his glare dissolve into soft sunshine. Sunshine that sparkles and sprouts in my stomach until it encroaches around my lungs, making it impossible to breathe while in his radius.

“You are nothing like the rumors claim, Princess Arya.” He leans down.

“Neither are you, Your Highness.”

His lips brush against mine with enough pressure to please despite the brevity. My eyes close to help me reorient as he spins my world on its axis. When he withdraws, my mouth follows him with parted lips.

I swallow, blink, and straighten my back as he peers down at me.

“It is settled. I will take you as my bride.”

“You will?” I gasp.

“I will.”

I went back through my history on A03, waaaay back, to the beginning and rediscovered the fics that started it all for me. I might re-read these because they were exactly what my shipper heart needed after the shitshow season 8 brought to us. We’ll do this one at a time since there are plenty in my history for every Friday until the end of the year lmao!

Alternate Universe - Modern Setting

Prince Gendry

Princess Arya Stark

Gendry is a Baratheon

Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary:

Peace has been the default for centuries, but in modern day Westeros, alliances among the Seven Kingdoms are still formed through arranged marriages.

Northern Princess Arya Stark had always hoped to avoid that fate, but having been called home from school due to a scandal, she’s horrified to learn of her own upcoming betrothal to the crown prince of the Stormlands.

With only days to go before she meets her intended, Arya hatches a plan that just might get her out of the marriage. After all, as her mother insists, one of the most valuable things a royal bride can possess is her virginity.

House Stark

so I have seen a lot of theories regarding house stark and their immanent extinction at the end of game of thrones and that Sansa declaring independence for the north and becoming queen was all for nothing because 

bran cant reproduce

Jon is a Targaryen 

Arya and Sansa are female and any children they have wont have their name but if we go all the way back to when house stark first started out the only reason it got to where it was, was actually through a female line lord Brandon stark(not bran the builder) only had one child a daughter and she had a child with the then king beyond the wall at the time who posed as a bard and lord Brandon let the infant become the next lord of Winterfell so the child was a bastard who was part wildling that continued on the stark name through a female line.

then lets discuss Lyanna Mormont  

she is the child of maege Mormont a female yet lyanna has the last name Mormont not only that but in the books lyanna and all her sisters are actually hinted to be bastards and also part wildling as it is stated on more than one occasion that meage Mormont is not married but she was just like their my daughters therefore their Mormont's end of story.

meage Mormont is only a lady and the other northern lords didn't bat an eyelid so if meage can just be like my daughters are Mormont's end of story why cant Sansa? she's a queen now if she has a bastard no problem she can just be like nah he/she is a stark or if she marries well her husband wont be king he will only be consort so Sansa can ultimately decide what name any children got from that marriage she could just be like meage and be like nah their my son/daughter they are starks end of!

so in my opinion house stark is going to be just fine and around for thousands more years

Arya Stark • Queen of Wolves • Princess of the North

"I heard stories from the cold northern lands. About a warrior princess, who is still called queen by the smallfolk. Wielding a valyrian steel sword, the princess is fast and deadly, but as graceful as a dancer.... Tought as skilled as any man can be, she is still loved by the whole North and even across the Sea. The Queen of Wolves, they call her, because she leads a pack of hundreds now living in the God's Wood. It's sang that during the Long Night, they fought side by side of her army..."

"What's her name, mother?"

"The princess's name, you ask, son?" The woman was amused with the child's curiosity, her eyes glowing with fun and respect when she answered. "Arya's her name, child. Arya Stark. Lovely, pretty and lethal. A savage beauty that crossed the Narrow Sea just like Queen Nymeria of Ny Sar once did."
