Summary
“Seventy years we will give you back, a gift of life you should have had, but nothing gained is ever free, paid in years they shall not see.”
The deal is made. Yet when Maester Aemon wakes up, sure that it was but a cruel dream and he is still alive with the regrets of a lifetime consuming him, he expects to hear Samwell Tarly and Gilly and to still be at sea.
Instead, he finds himself in a feather bed in chambers he has not seen in over seventy years, in a time he has no business being in, and with a man he had not hoped to see again sat by his bedside.
Yet even the Gods can’t predict just how differently things go. Really, he should have known better than to expect changing the future to be simple.

Summary
With six treacherous knives in his heart, Jon is forced on an unwilling voyage through the cold and the dark in the flesh of another.
What happens when he's eventually forced back?
It was always said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt, and that both its price and its outcome could be both wondrous and horrendous indeed, for all.
How will Westeros deal with the resurrected Black Bastard, whose famous honor seems to lie forgotten in favor of newfound ruthlessness? Whose father's lessons seem to have been buried beneath the many shards of his shattered memories?
How will the Boltons and their allies handle a Jon whose savagery rivals and surpasses Ramsay's own?
How will Howland Reed handle reuniting with the son of the woman who once saved him, only to bear witness to what he has become?
How will Daenerys deal with this broken warrior of a man, who terrifies her as much as he excites her? The savage power of Drogo with the charisma of Daario and none of the swagger.
Or: A broken and shattered Book!Jon wakes up in the showverse and makes it everyone’s problem.

Summary
Ned Stark, known as the quiet wolf, has all his life been brought South for the grand Tourney of Harrenhall. He found himself stumbling over his own words as his elder brother thrust him into a dance with the most beautiful lady of the realm, Ashara Dayne. What many couldn’t believe, nor was he thinking of finding love in the cursed place of Harrenhall.
This story follows two separate timeline arcs, each leading toward vastly different futures. As you read, starting at chapter five, you may choose which path you prefer as the true course of this world: one shaped more heavily by grief, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of war, while the other leans toward healing, family, and the fragile hope of spring. In the end, the choice of which story truly lives belongs to you :)
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story differs from the original, though many of the characters are from canon.

Summary
He quit the Aurors because they wanted him to fill out forms instead of fight. Now he works alone breaking curses, sealing wards, killing things that shouldn't exist. The pay is good. The clients are grateful. Some of them are very, very grateful.
A door in Devon that eats children. A mirror in Cornwall that shows you the thing wearing your dead wife's face. A sound beneath a church in Yorkshire that makes the stones bleed. An heirloom in a Pureblood vault that whispers the date of your death in a language that predates English by ten thousand years.
Harry Potter handles them all. He's good at it. The women who hire him tend to notice.
Rosmerta keeps a room above the bar and doesn't ask where he's been. Gabrielle files his paperwork and pretends she doesn't want more. Katie flies for the Harpies and watches him with the same look she had in sixth year. Eliza dresses in black lace and waits for a message she's been expecting for months.
Harry Potter has the golden touch. Everything he handles turns to profit, pleasure, or ruin.Bookmarked by BalerionTheRead
