    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

    An unnatural storm in 1815 throws a British regency-era naval expedition, and the troops they carry, into the world of Westeros at the outbreak of the War of Five Kings, trapping them in a life-or-death struggle to survive, and find their way home. Written as a thought experiment - how would an early 19th century military and political force change Westeros? How would Westeros change them?

    Summary

    A long time ago Artanis was only a bard who wanted to make something of herself. Her last adventure was supposed to be the end of it all, and waking up to a new world is- surprising, to say the least.

    Rhaegar is a pince that dreams of building a better world on top of legends. A child of prophecy and of promise, and he is not at all ready for the storm that is coming.

    Their meeting puts in motion events that can hardly be stopped, a song that will rise beyond ice and fire and blood and either bring new life to Westeros or sink it to the depths of a darkness never seen before.

     

    Or, what happens when a Faerûnian bard finds herself in the Seven Kingdoms.

    Summary

    A small fleet of Culture ships arrives in the Warhammer 40k galaxy and tries to overcome Grimdark while dealing with the Outside Context Problem of Chaos.

    Hilarity ensues. Including, but not limited to, a Special Circumstances archaeological dig on a Necron tombworld, multi-party future sight gambit pileups, serious upgrades to the Tau, fun with the Dark Eldar, some subtle influence in the IoM, and a hell of a lot of dead Tyranids.

    Also includes many fun and exciting alternate endings :).

    New chapters posted in this thread, but all but those in the latest section are here on Ao3.

    Summary

    Two very different inmates discuss politics in a state prison. The Londoners vote to leave and brave the never-ending winter in search of, well, London. Everyone else is too afraid of freezing to death to try. Maybe the devil-you-know really is the better option.

    Meanwhile, the Captain of the city grapples with her unhappy citizens, despite giving them everything she thinks they deserve. She must have their obedience, whatever the cost.
