The Shadow of Your Heart - ASOIAF/GoT
The Shadow of Your Heart by crossfirehurricane (Multichapter | 70/70 | WC: 140,561 | Rated M)
King Aerys Targaryen's extreme paranoia delays Rhaegar's betrothal to Elia Martell until he is twenty-two. But when the King suspects the Starks of plotting against him, he breaks the betrothal to promise his eldest son to the noble house's only daughter, Lyanna Stark.
The arrangement does not sit well with either party. The fourteen year old Lyanna resists her cage and her new husband; the older Rhaegar finds himself discomforted by her immaturity and willful nature. The king's madness worsens, and intrigue further interrupts the already volatile atmosphere of King's Landing.
In the North, Brandon's reckless behavior puts him, and Ned, in an uncomfortable situation, while thousands of miles south, the Martells stews over the insult paid to Elia. Somewhere in the middle, a storm lord still desires the girl he was meant to have while a lioness plots her way into power.
or
Lyanna marries Rhaegar and everything happens except love at first sight.
If you like R+L=J fics, this is probably right up your alley, though the J part spends this fic as a baby. This is an AU where Aerys marries Rhaegar and Lyanna together to prevent any rebellion from the North. It’s got Enemies to Friends to Lovers in spades and I adore it. Lyanna does come off as very childish and some of her decisions really drive me nuts, but it fits with the premise so I can let it slide. It also has an unfinished sequel that hasn’t been updated in like a year which really puts a damper on things, but I still really think this is worth the read!

The sexy and glamorous world of Formula 1 is mainly driven by the rivalry between drivers Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. They had very different characteristics: while Stark is methodical and brilliant, Targaryen adopted a more stripped-down style, typical of a bad boy. The dispute between the two reached its peak in 1976 when both took several risks in the cockpit so that they could become the Formula 1 world champion.

'He remembered how, a few short weeks before, he had told Lyanna how love could grow from the tiniest seeds. But what he hadn’t told her was that sometimes it was bigger than that, and bolder, and sometimes it made a person do dangerous things…'
A story of Robert's Rebellion, where love lives and dies and lives again. Told from the perspectives of Lyanna and Ned Stark.

Still unmarried and unbetrothed, Prince Rhaegar Targaryen is urged to find a bride at the tourney at Harrenhal. With King Aerys growing more unhinged as each day passes, the Dragon Prince must secure his line in order to overthrow the Mad King.
Lyanna Stark is chosen to wed the prince, much to her displeasure, and must leave the North to play princess with the dragons. But she quickly learns that the fire burns deadly in the royal family, and winter has no place in King's Landing.
Hell, she finds, is empty and all the devils are at Court.

This story is told heavily from the point of view of Rhaegar Targaryen and will span from the Tourney at Harrenhal to the conclusion of Robert's Rebellion. This is my take on the fateful tale of Rhaegar and Lyanna. The first chapter serves mostly as an introduction, the subsequent chapters will be longer. All characters are property of George R. R. Martin. As always, reviews are much loved and appreciated!

Lyanna Stark decides against taking flight from her marriage, and begrudgingly marries Robert Baratheon. Within the year, she becomes a widow at the young age of seventeen, with half the realm believing she had a hand in it. Now free from the bonds of marriage, and her place at Storm's End, Lyanna returns to Winterfell with no intention of remarrying.
Rhaegar Targaryen is widowed when Elia Martell dies in childbed, attempting to give her husband his third child. The child, a girl, is lost alongside her mother. The prophecy and the realm demands that he remarry, calling for a flurry of young maidens to vie for his attentions, and one who is unsure if she desired his attention at all.
Yet this pair had almost known intimacy before. Whether they shall know it again, only the Gods can say.

“I’d have introduced myself, but I get the sense you know who I am,” Lyanna flirts, and the man’s indigo eyes dance, “this is my party, after all.”
“Oh I’m certainly aware,” he cocks his head like something is outrageously funny, “I’m the one throwing it for you.”
Or, Formula 1 prodigy Lyanna Stark won't settle for anything less than a world championship. A serendipitous encounter with a stranger who turns out to be anything but reminds her that fortune favors the bold.

If you asked most people to rank top 10 most boring things, law school would be up there in the top 5. Lyanna Stark respectfully thinks that's utter bullshit - she’s been to law school and it doesn’t even slightly compare to the mind-numbing activity of wedding dress shopping with one Catelyn Tully.
or: Lyanna Stark is a successful law graduate attending her brother's wedding when a series of unpredictable events strike her love life.

Ned would have kneeled, she thought. Benjen would have kneeled.
But Ned and Benjen were loyal, and did what they were told. Lyanna did too. She stayed in Winterfell and prayed for them. While Brandon clung to pride, she had to forgo it.
They made me kneel, brother, she said to Brandon’s dying form. Then they made me marry the man who slayed you.
It was strange, to taste resentment alongside sorrow and alongside love. It was made worse by her own guilt, born from the intimacy of her own betrayal. A man killed her brother, and she weds him and beds him anyways. What did that say about her? What did that mean for her own pride?
You died with your pride, brother, but I must live without mine.

How did you come up with the ideas for your fics, and how do you plan them out? Like, I love alliterate timeline fics, since it gives the writers a lot of freedom to play around with cool scenarios, such as your All of Us Honorable, or The Last Serving Daughter, or crossfirehurricane's Queen of Winter, King of Fire (sadly on indefinite hiatus) or RoweenaJAugustine's Price of Our Sins. But while those two focus on established characters and OCs, yours take characters that only exist in 1/2
... in family trees. I had no clue who Branda Star was, I just stumbled onto All of Us Honorable (and I'm very happy I did, it's the best ASOIAF fic I've read). Do throw a dart at a family tree and say "I can work with that!"? And seeing as you release chapters every week, how do you plan them out and when you start releasing chapters, are you already done with the story?
I do like family trees and I would often rather use a character from a family tree who hasn’t been explored than to create another OC. I think there are a lot of potentially interesting plots to be found in the family trees if you look hard enough. There’s only so many fics you can write about the Starks or Lannisters. When I start releasing chapters I usually have at least five written in advance, and the entire fic (loosely) outlined.
