The Bridge Knight by Talavin
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)

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.

The Lion, the Ships, and the Swordthrone by Talavin

Summary
What would you do in the villain’s place?
An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.
It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

Daemon the Diplomat by Talavin
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, House of the Dragon (TV)

Summary
Daemon Targaryen has always been a man of fire. But the man who wakes on Dragonstone's cliffs is not Daemon, not entirely. He carries memories of a war that has not happened yet, a family torn apart by its own blood, and the terrible clarity of knowing exactly which mistakes will kill the people he loves. His only weapon against the future is the one thing the old Daemon never had: patience and diplomacy.

For Want of Izuku's Toe Joint by Talavin
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
15 Jul 2025

Summary
When he was four years old, the doctor showed Izuku and his mother the x-ray of the boy's foot. Since he only had one joint in his pinky toe, the doctor explained, there was a very high chance his quirk would manifest eventually. Year after year passed without any sign of it though, leaving Izuku to wonder if he could become a hero even without a quirk. Nevertheless, Izuku does possess a subtle, but extremely powerful ability - the kind that could make him the greatest hero of all time.

Summary
Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
“You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
“You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
“Do you have eyes?”
“Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
“So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”
-
Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
I adore this story! It's so interesting to see Jon progress in a realistic way. Like, yes, it makes sense for him to be crowned King at some point because of his heritage, and that's kind of what everyone wants to write him as. But it's also very interesting to see how far he could progress on his own merits. Make him a legendary swordsman, and he has the makings for exactly this: son of a Lord Paramount, man of honor, etc. With all of that, it's neat to watch him build a life for himself, make a place for himself in a way that has nothing to do with his Kingly heritage. While I'd be happy if that's the direction you eventually go in, this is really a breath of fresh air. I've never read anything quite like this story. I love how Jon makes enemies, powerful enemies, but also makes powerful friends. I love seeing you explore these characters and matches that I've never seen anyone do before. And it's very cool to see how one twist - Jon going south in a believable way, can change things so dramatically from canon. I'm very excited to continue reading this work!
On ch 51. There's some grammar errors, and some odd ways of writing that bring it down from true master work, but still so much fun to read that I'd be happy to call it a 5.

Bookmarker's Notes
Uuuggggghhhh Rhaenyra being buried in a shroud quartered with the Beesbury crest just slayed me. What a great end to a great story!
Only reason it’s not a 5 is that at times it felt a little wish-fulfill-y, but very very close to the upper edge
