AU where Jon is the true born son of Ned Stark and Arya is the ‘bastard’ brought home from war. Growing up as the female bastard of a great lord Arya was always told by her step-mother that there was only one path to happiness for her - to grow into a beautiful accomplished woman and convince some lowly, aged bannerman that her father’s favor was worth the shame of taking a bastard as a wife. From the moment she was brought to Winterfell Catelyn Stark began to count down the days until she could be pushed out of the castle and into the arms of a husband. But her father, thank the Gods, loved her enough not to rush that day and her brother Jon did all that he could to see that no one thought that their advances would be appreciated. But one day Winterfell is visited by someone Jon can’t scare away, someone even her father has a hard time saying no to. And that is the day when Arya Snow’s life changed forever.

I did not draw this good ghost king shit but he is looking hot in this pictures tho
As I read a Clash of Kings, I realize that the most powerful thing about this book is gaining access to Arya’s psychology. She starts out homeless in King’s Landing & you get a first hand account of what life is in the starving capital during war & politically unstable times.
You see her travel by road through Riverlands which were raided, destroyed & burnt, innocents caught in the crossfire of Stark-Lannister drama just because Catelyn got played by Litterfinger & kidnaps Tyrion & Tywin was too ruthless & played dirty by raiding the Riverlands to scatter their forces. It’s so easy to get caught up in the drama of these lords that it’s difficult to imagine that the lives of common people were destroyed to the limit that they started missing the Mad King! Simply because during his reign there was no war. It’s heartbreaking to watch a child’s innocent perception tainted, how she starts calling herself a sheep and agonies herself about deluding herself about being a wolf or a warrior.
Worst of all, is when she ends up in a concentration camp like situation. Her mental state when prisoners are dehumanised & picked one at a time randomly to die. The aftermath of being treated like an abused slave who gets beat up & threatened daily gets to her to the point that she starts calling herself a scared little mouse. You really get a sense of why she gives the names of the two people most abusive to her & later realizes that she could have named someone important like Tywin or Joffery to be killed when she has only one name left.
All of this is what enriched the experience for me while reading the book compared to S02 where “Who should win the game of thrones” seemed like a game where the cost of war just wasn’t real enough. Seriously at this point I’m rooting for no King, not even a little bit! Arya is hands down the MVP for this book & I’m glad this arc made this game of highborns so much more real. It’s really heartbreaking but I love how deeply I got to understand my lil gal!
Im in a deep shit ocean of feels bc of this fanfic
It wasn’t like Annabeth hadn’t been warned about him.
In New Rome, there was just one unofficial rule to surviving and thriving for demigods and mortals alike.
Avoid the son of Neptune. At all costs.
Arya: *Smiling politely as she talks with a few Lords*
Lords: *Decide to make hateful comments about Jon Snow to impress her because what sort of Lady likes bastards rising up and taking power amirite, lol.*
Arya: …
What they see
Reality:
Arya inside her mind: Your deaths shall be slow and painful.
Arya + Wolf Monikers (Requested by @insomniarama)
She was no little girl in the dream; she was a wolf, huge and powerful, and when she emerged from beneath the trees in front of them and bared her teeth in a low rumbling growl, she could smell the rank stench of fear from horse and man alike.
Davos: I was talking to your sister, Lady Arya, Your Grace. A very interesting young lady.
Jon: *proud smile* She is, isn’t she?
Davos: Indeed. I told her I saved Gendry’s life once. I also told her I kept you safe while you were being revived.
Jon: And?
Davos: She told me I had stolen two deaths from the Many-Faced God, and that I could name any two people I wanted, and she’d kill them for me.
Jon: …
Davos: She added not to bother wasting one of my names on Melisandre, since she’s already marked her for death.
Jon: !!!
Davos: I quite like her, Your Grace.
Davos: But she’s fucking terrifying.
