Story
Notes
1.) We are NOT doing Rhaegar+Lyanna=Jon, we are doing Eddard+Ashara=Jon. I wanted Lyanna to live so she couldn’t have Rhaegar’s child since she died birthing that baby, but I also wanted Jon. So. E+A=J. This also lets me give Jon the loving mother(s) he should have grown up with in cannon so, nyah!
2.) The Nature of War by Waryck Devonson is a creation of Eff the Dragonkiller. She caught me and head-canoned me so hard, I put it in my personal worldbuilding cheat sheet for ASOIAF.
3.) Blood Wolves are also a concept by Eff the Dragonkiller. She is very kind to me to let me play with her toys and I appreciate her very much. Thanks, boo!
4.) Benjen going to the Wall makes ZERO sense in canon unless he did something really bad. So. He did something really bad. He, essentially, betrayed House Stark during Robert’s Rebellion.
5.) Thank you to Claire Watson to all of her hard work as beta. I appreciate it, truly. Any typos or other errors are mine because I’m stubborn.
6.) Thank you to my lovely artist, Mizu Sage. Your work rocks and I am so pleased to have it upgrade my word baby.
