Maester Aemon's Guide to Duty by FenceSittersAnonymous
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV), A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV)

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
With six treacherous knives in his heart, Jon is forced on an unwilling voyage through the cold and the dark in the flesh of another.
What happens when he's eventually forced back?
It was always said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt, and that both its price and its outcome could be both wondrous and horrendous indeed, for all.
How will Westeros deal with the resurrected Black Bastard, whose famous honor seems to lie forgotten in favor of newfound ruthlessness? Whose father's lessons seem to have been buried beneath the many shards of his shattered memories?
How will the Boltons and their allies handle a Jon whose savagery rivals and surpasses Ramsay's own?
How will Howland Reed handle reuniting with the son of the woman who once saved him, only to bear witness to what he has become?
How will Daenerys deal with this broken warrior of a man, who terrifies her as much as he excites her? The savage power of Drogo with the charisma of Daario and none of the swagger.
Or: A broken and shattered Book!Jon wakes up in the showverse and makes it everyone’s problem.

Our Tragedy Was Love but the Dream of Spring Brings Hope by MaxWizTavern

Summary
Ned Stark, known as the quiet wolf, has all his life been brought South for the grand Tourney of Harrenhall. He found himself stumbling over his own words as his elder brother thrust him into a dance with the most beautiful lady of the realm, Ashara Dayne. What many couldn’t believe, nor was he thinking of finding love in the cursed place of Harrenhall.
This story follows two separate timeline arcs, each leading toward vastly different futures. As you read, starting at chapter five, you may choose which path you prefer as the true course of this world: one shaped more heavily by grief, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of war, while the other leans toward healing, family, and the fragile hope of spring. In the end, the choice of which story truly lives belongs to you :)
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story differs from the original, though many of the characters are from canon.

Summary
He quit the Aurors because they wanted him to fill out forms instead of fight. Now he works alone breaking curses, sealing wards, killing things that shouldn't exist. The pay is good. The clients are grateful. Some of them are very, very grateful.
A door in Devon that eats children. A mirror in Cornwall that shows you the thing wearing your dead wife's face. A sound beneath a church in Yorkshire that makes the stones bleed. An heirloom in a Pureblood vault that whispers the date of your death in a language that predates English by ten thousand years.
Harry Potter handles them all. He's good at it. The women who hire him tend to notice.
Rosmerta keeps a room above the bar and doesn't ask where he's been. Gabrielle files his paperwork and pretends she doesn't want more. Katie flies for the Harpies and watches him with the same look she had in sixth year. Eliza dresses in black lace and waits for a message she's been expecting for months.
Harry Potter has the golden touch. Everything he handles turns to profit, pleasure, or ruin.Bookmarked by BalerionTheRead

Summary
Three years have passed since the Dragonborn's Peace. There is skirmishing in High Rock and Hammerfell against the Thalmor, but as yet no large renewal of the War. Meanwhile the location of the Dragonborn himself is known to no one. Yet there are those who are searching for him and his companion.
At the same time, Brelyna Maryon, Wizard of the College of Winterhold, is engaged in research that leads her eventually to the island of Solstheim. Only she does not go alone.
Part 3 of "Dark Skies and Dragonfire." Part 1 covered the Dawnguard story arc; Part 2 dealt with the main questlines. This one will loosely follow the events of Dragonborn and conclude the story.
Lore-friendly but at most canon-adjacent.

Summary
Serana, Daughter of Coldharbour, and Alexien, a mage formerly of Winterhold, are eager to continue their travels and enjoy their well earned rest in peace. But Fate, and the Daedric Lord thereof, have other plans for them. When dragons return and Skyrim erupts into civil war, they have to find a way to hold everything together – including themselves.
Part 2 of "Dark Skies and Dragonfire," following immediately on the events of "Darkness with Light," which I recommend you read first. Part 1 covered the Dawnguard story arc; this one goes through the main questlines; later, Part 3 will deal with the events of Dragonborn.
Lore-friendly, but with lots of world-building.

Summary
With Harkon defeated and Tamriel saved from eternal night, Vitus Demirio, former blacksmith turned Dragonborn, sets his eyes upon an even greater threat looming over Nirn: Alduin, the World-Eater, whose return heralds not only the end of the world, but an end to Time itself.
Alongside his two most trusted companions, Serana Volkihar and Inigo the Brave, Vitus must discover his place in the ancient prophecy that foretold the dragons’ return. As the three heroes dive deeper into Skyrim’s secrets, Vitus finds himself haunted by visions of the future as he seeks to unravel the mysteries of the past. In a quest that leads from the Throat of the World to the gates of Aetherius, the lines between hero and monster begin to blur, and Vitus realizes Alduin is not just his enemy...but his reflection.
Facing daedra, dragons, and even the gods themselves, Vitus must decide whether his destiny lies in defying fate, or embracing it. And each choice will determine whether Nirn is saved, or if everything he has ever known and loved will be devoured by a dragon’s teeth.
Is the Last Dragonborn truly destined to stop the apocalypse—or is he merely part of a cycle fated to end this Kalpa so a new one can be born?Series
