Summary: "That one fact remained true, when so many questions were left unanswered: the whole of the realm knew the tale, and yet the Stark children did not, for their lord father did not wish to tell it. When they were young, they received only vague warnings, told in the fading light of the family crypts, while staring into the unwatching eyes of the statues that remembered Lord Rickard and their uncle Brandon and Lady Lyanna. Eddard Stark’s ghosts seemed to haunt them, just as they haunted him." Or, Ned Stark takes in his sister Lyanna's child as his own trueborn son. Nothing in Westeros is ever the same.Fragments by Miss_M

Summary: “All right,” Ned Stark says. “You weren’t supposed to hear that. No one was supposed to, but I guess it’s my own damned fault for not keeping it to myself. Now, I know that if I told you to forget this you’d try, but I remember – I remember how it was when I was your age, myself. Boys of seven can forget that kind of promise easily, if they don’t know why they’re making it.” He takes in another breath. “Robb,” he says, his voice dropping so low it’s barely audible, “do you love your brother?” Or: in which Robb knows about Jon's true heritage all along.if you can't buy your monsters, homegrown is fine by DragonflyxParodies

And in all these things, a boy trails after her, learning, watching with the same grey eyes.How to Ruin Your Life and Disappoint Your Loved Ones by Netgirl_y2k

Summary: Tywin Lannister gazes at the young man standing in front of him, his eyes as cold as the North itself, and regrets ever losing Eddard Stark if this is his replacement. "You are nothing like your father," he acknowledges, with grudging admiration. "True," Robb Stark replies, a thin smile upon his face. It doesn't quite reach his eyes. "And neither are you." In which Robb Stark plays the game just as well as he plays at war.
