Summary
After the death of his brother, Robert Baratheon needs a loyalist Lord on Dragonstone. He also really wants back in Ned's good graces.
Or, the Game goes on after the Rebellions. The Starks still won't play, but everyone is playing the Game all around them, and Jon Sand has somehow become an important piece. Robert Baratheon, unknowingly, is the Targaryens' greatest asset.

A Caged Songbird by bikadoo

Summary
“I will be a silent, and dutiful wife,” Sansa spits. “I will be their pretty little songbird, and wear their ugly crown, and sit on their painful throne. I shall give him a babe, and my love, and I will wait until he thinks that he has won. And then I shall take his life."
Shae goes still. "You ... you plan to kill the King?"
"No," Sansa says. "I plan to kill my husband."

Undying, Death-Defying by AsbestosMouth for hardlyfatal

Summary
Abersalem. It's just a small Welsh village. Wet, Grey. The usual. Apart from the inhabitants. Sandor doesn't mind, because he fits in a whole lot better; living in Wales is marginally better than hanging around the Realm of the Stranger like most demons tend to do. After all, everyone else in Abersalem isn't quite human, either. His next door neighbour is technically dead. A lesbian selkie and her dragon girlfriend run the local flower shop. Every month, they sacrifice a goat curry to Roosifer, who married a mother-goddess. It's that sort of place.
And then there's Sansa. Who might be more human than the rest of them, but you know what they say about redheaded witches, don't you? No. Probably you don't. But it's really complimentary.

That was the most entertaining part of being around her—she was blatantly quite determined to hate him, and just as blatantly failing at it.
Numair's been daydreaming of finding his soulmate all his life. Daine's feelings about hers, on the other hand, are... much more complicated.

Summary
What if Ned wasn't beheaded in King's Landing and Catelyn didn't die at the Red Wedding? Just over two years ago I asked myself those questions, and with the encouragement of some wonderful people I started this story.
This story takes place entirely in the canon universe, diverging from GRRM's epic at two points--Ned's execution and Catelyn's murder at the Twins--and examines all the ways that the survival of these two people might have changed events both large and small in the world of Westeros. The ripples have far reaching consequences for many throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but at its heart, this is a story of two people, their marriage, their family, and the North.

Summary
One of the trainees tried to grab my waist while I was bending over to grab something. Cloud bit his thumbnail off and then Sarge had him run until he threw up. Kit wanted to send you the thumbnail today but it occurred to me you might do something with it. So she picked out this pine needle instead.
-Daine
It’s a good thought but I don’t think his thumbnail will have entirely regrown by the time I rejoin you. It will be a simple matter to detect him, I’m afraid.
-Numair
Series of shorter romance one-shots, since this is apparently how I'm handling quarantine.

Summary
It had been a slash across her chest from a White Walker’s sword that finally ended her life. Sansa’d landed in a puddle of her own blood, and she’d died quickly, quietly.
And then she’d awoken with a gasp, trembling, in a bed that had burned under Theon’s betrayal.

Summary
His knees ached from so long spent kneeling on the path. The candle in front of him had been burning for a long, long time, leaving it just a stub of wax finally nearing its end, and the fact that he hadn’t moved could mean only one thing, only one message to every Pixandrian who saw him.
To burn a candle out to nothing meant that a life had been lost forever, given back to the world, or perhaps stolen from it. To bear witness to its burning, without rest or words, meant the blood was on his hands, the blade his, the blame his.
Or: Pixl's exile, as a religious man.

Kidrash Tarkaan's young bride has a problem. Praise be to all the gods, she has an aunt to advise her.
I rated this for general audiences as there's nothing explicit in there, but there are references to arranged marriages. Also arachnaphobes should approach with caution.

Summary
Maybe she’s imagining hearing Jon’s voice in the night. She probably can’t hear anything over the wind roaring in her ears as she makes her way through the city towards the bus that will take her down to Hyde Park. She feels her phone buzzing in her purse, but she doesn’t want to untuck her hands from her sleeves long enough to put on her gloves so she lets it be.
She’ll look on the bus. She’ll have to—she needs to let Missandei know she’s coming.
