Summary
in silentio (Latin) — in silence; without word or sound; that which is done without witness.
Two of the brightest minds of their generation never spoke of what they built together in the dark hours of a dying war. They did not speak of it because there was no one to tell, and no language adequate to the telling, and because the work itself — the quiet, impossible, necessary work — was its own kind of covenant. This is the story that happened behind the story everyone knows. The sacrifice no one saw. The debt that was never named.

Summary
She fled the Red Keep with a burned man and a name that no longer kept her warm.
Now the North whispers her name in the leaves. The old gods watch. The dead remember.
Fire follows her. Snow crowns her. And the wheel begins to crack.
She never asked to be a queen. But prophecy doesn’t ask. It hungers.

Summary
He had survived the Long Night, survived his brother, survived everything the world had thrown at him — and still somehow ended up in the back of a cart headed for Winterfell, courtesy of Arya Stark and her complete disregard for anyone's preferences but her own.
Sansa had told herself for years that no man would ever be good enough. No man had ever felt safe.
Except for one.
She was the Queen of the North and he was nobody's anything — a dog without a master, a sword without a cause. He had no business wanting what he wanted. She had no business letting him.
But Winterfell had a way of keeping what it needed.

Summary
After a scandal involving one very ill-fated earl, a sharp-tongued English lady is sent to the Highlands to learn restraint, only for her journey to turn violent. Her rescue comes in the form of a brooding Scottish healer who is as unimpressed with her as she is with him. Steel clashes, tempers spark, and neither of them is inclined to yield.
Or I just wanted to shamelessly write a sexy Outlander-esque Severus Snape with all the cheesy romance and smut. Either way its going to be a great time.

Summary
In the heart of the Red Keep, Sansa Stark plays the part expected of her—silent, docile, graceful. A lady. A hostage. A future queen to a boy who delights in cruelty.
Sandor Clegane is everything the songs warned her against: brutal, bitter, burned. A dog with no master but violence. And yet, when the court turns cold and the city turns cruel, it is his presence she begins to seek. It is his eyes she meets across the chaos.
A dangerous bond takes root between a girl who has lost her dreams and a man who never dared to have them. As war gathers on the horizon and the court turns ever more treacherous, Sansa must choose what she is willing to risk—for gratitude, for protection… and perhaps, for something far more perilous.
Sansa is older than in the original books. Late and not early teens. My story—and the San/San romance—begins in King’s Landing, and Sansa’s canon age at that point is far too young for any of that.

Summary
Picking up where GRRM left us.
This story is written solely on book canon. I have never watched the show further than the first one and a half seasons. Mainly because of changes in the plot but also because of characterizations I couldn't recognize from the books.
This is an ASOIAF version, with a continuation of GRRM's plotlines.
Book one:
Part one - ch 1-17 (the fanficish beginning)
Part two - ch 18-24 (where I started truly writing)
Part three - ch 25-33 (flowing)Book two:
Part one - ch 34-41 (embracing)
Part two - ch 42-49 (expanding)Book three:
Part one - ch 50-?NLaMS was first posted in 2011-2014.
It's been updated from ch 35 in 2021-2022.Big parts of this story have been translated into Russian and French.
