    Summary

    At the base of a heart tree north of the Wall, Benjen Stark's nephews and nieces appear - older than the children he knows in Winterfell - bitter, cruel, and biting. A pack divided but with horror on their lips and blood on their hands. Their past is a nightmare, and despite how the Stark siblings lick at their individual wounds, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives - and they need to become a pack again if they want to avoid the mistakes of their pasts in the new future they have been offered.

    Summary

    Jaime ran through the halls of Casterly Rock, ducking and weaving deftly between servants and distant relatives, only stopping to help right the poor maid who nearly got knocked over by him before he was off again in the direction of his father’s solar.

    Seven years he has lived in this life, a world so familiar and so foreign, and he’s made it his own. He knows the story, and he knows what will happen, but there are a few things that he can try to change.

    Like this.

    AKA

    A self-insert into Jaime Lannister, except this is a normal guy who doesn't know how a printing press works and just wants to raise kittens and play with a sword

    Summary

    Bucky tapped him on the shoulder, swaying back and forth a little as he waited for the man to turn around. “Hello,” he said, and then promptly forgot what else he was going to say, because this guy was fucking beautiful. “Wow. Good face.”

    Two of the guy’s friends, a man wearing a suit that fit so well it had to be bespoke and a man with a cute little gap between his front teeth, started cracking up. The petite redhead sitting next to them cocked her head to the side and pulled her phone out of her handbag. Beautiful Face just looked kind of pained, so Bucky redirected. He was a gentleman. He could take a hint. No hitting on beautiful guys who were uncomfortable with that sort of thing, no matter how lickable their jawlines were.

    “Hello,” he repeated, doing his best to mind his manners. “I’m very sorry to bother you. Can I have a piggy-back ride?”

    Summary

    “Consider how this looks. The Senju proposes peace at the height of their power. The Uchiha, already losing, don’t have the resources to match the Senju. If the Senju provides us with food and armour, the Uchiha must become subordinate. Is that what you think of as peace, Senju? Over at the Uchiha compound, we call that subjugation by the most powerful.”

    “It seems that there is only one possible solution: the Senju must choose a symbol to subjugate itself to the Uchiha to balance out the scales. For that role, I volunteer myself.”

    The wise ones know: fires can warm and not burn; and rivers, if given strength and permission, will carve the land.

    (Or, the one in which Tobirama becomes Madara’s concubine, and peace is won and held through neither power nor love, but food, water, clothes, and medicine.)

    Complete.
