    Summary

    Maester Aemon still has his sight when Jon Snow arrives at Castle Black to swear his vows. Targaryen’s might have typically had pale hair and purple eyes, but Maester Aemon would recognise his family anywhere.

    His vows have been tested three times before. This is his fourth and final test and, after nearly eighty years of being a bystander at the Wall whilst his family destroyed themselves, Aemon decides that enough is enough. He’s been a man of the Nights Watch for most of his life; but he’s been a Targaryen all his life.

    He might be old and trapped at the Wall, but he grew up in Kings Landing and no one knows the Game of Thrones like he does.

    And so, everything changes.

    Summary

    After turning down his father’s request that he stay and serve in Kings Landing, Aemon Targaryen does not go to Dragonstone to serve his oldest brother as Maester. Instead, he heads to Winterfell to serve House Stark taking himself as far away from Kings Landing as possible with no plan to ever return despite the pain it causes him.

    He grows to love House Stark over the sixty years he serves them. But he never forgets House Targaryen and he watches their rise and fall closely. Within a year of 282 AC, Rickard, Brandon, Rhaegar, Rhaenys and Aegon are all dead and he is the last Targaryen in Westeros. Riddled with guilt, he resigns himself to the fact that he has managed to fail not only House Targaryen but also House Stark.

    Then Ned Stark returns from Dorne with Jon Snow.

    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

    A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.

    No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.

    Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

    Summary

    Eddard Stark doesn't make it back to the North as the banners gather in rebellion, slipping beneath the waves of the Bite during an ambush in the storm. Someone else, from a world like ours, rises from the waters in his place.

    The Old Gods have stolen a soul to right the wrongs of the coming years and avert disaster. Will it work? Who knows? But someone once said that if you want to change the future, you'd better start by changing what you do in the present.
