Summary
Years before Aegon the Conqueror went forth with his dragons and his sister wives to forge the Iron Throne, there were the Lannisters of Casterly Rock, one of the most powerful families in all of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. Like all the great houses of the then divided realm, they had for themselves a great sword of Valyrian steel, Brightroar, their most prized possession.
And yet the sword was lost, King Tommen II having taken the blade with him on his voyage to the ruins of Old Valyria, never to be seen again.
Countless numbers of brave Lannister men have since gone forth to find it, countless thousands of gold coins spent in the hope of recovering their lost glory, stopping not even after the time when the lion knelt before the dragon. But when Gerion Lannister, the uncle of a queen, a knight and a dwarf went eastwards to find the blade, there was little hope of him being seen again...
...until rumors of a shipwreck with crimson sails reach Westeros, and Lord Tywin finds himself sending his youngest son, the dwarf Tyrion Lannister, to the edges of the world to bring back what was always theirs to the ruins of the Tenth Free City, Gogossos, a place of forgotten lore and forgotten sorceries...

Summary
It is 161 years after Aegon's Conquest and the last of the dragons that had forged the Iron Throne in fire and blood are dead. King Baelor the Blessed sits upon the throne, ruling the Seven Kingdoms with a pious heart and a gentle hand, but the realm still feels the effects of the Dance of the Dragons that happened in his father's youth, and there is no man in the South who does not know of Cregan Stark and the Hour of the Wolf that had paved the way for Aegon the Younger's regency...and the price that came before it, the Pact of Ice and Fire that had been sworn in the eyes of gods and men in exchange for Northern support. Gold and riches were given to the Starks, gifts of steel and prestigious titles, but the greatest prize of all is the most pressing - the hand of a Targaryen princess, to be wed to the heir of Winterfell once they came of age.
Though King Baelor is reluctant to give a Targaryen woman to the Starks, the Old Man of the North will not be denied his prize...and for Daena Targaryen, locked within a tower of Maegor's Holdfast, the Starks could not have come soon enough.

Summary
The slumbering direwolf of the North has rested peacefully for nearly three hundred years, content to rest and build as they always had since the days of King Torrhen Stark, who had surrendered his crown to Aegon the Conqueror in the name of peace and fealty. His heart broken by the loss of the kingdom passed down through the ages, his bastard brother takes him on a trek around the North to survey the realm he rules now as Lord Paramount...and in a blizzard, they find something that forever changes the history of not just the North, but the entire world.
But nothing can sleep forever.
When Prince Rhaegar Targaryen snatched Lyanna Stark from the city of Winterfell, the direwolf stirred from its slumber and was enraged by the death of its liege lord and his son and heir...the Andal realms of the South learnt that the North was not the sparsely populated backwater they told their children about, but one of the foremost powers in Westeros.
What if the North had a population on par with the Reach, brought about by having a reliable and consistent supply of food?

Summary
Throughout the annals of history, there come moments where the entire fate of the world can be changed in a single day. Tours, Trafalgar, Stalingrad, each and every one set the stage for the years and decades that followed and forever changed the course of human history...and in the year of 1996, the world has come to yet another tipping point: the Eugenics Wars. The United Nations stands as the rallying point for those nations that stand against the Augments of Khan Noonien Singh, two powers locked in a titanic clash of nations that sees entire continents turned into battlegrounds.
The stakes? The very future of mankind.
It was a war that the United Nations would ultimately prevail in, at a heavy price in bodies...but what if things went differently? What if it was not the United Nations that emerged the victor, but Khan?
Part timeline and part story, Khan Victorious aims to explore what happens in a world where the science of genetic engineering is not abandoned by mankind, but elevated and embraced to its full potential, a world where Augmentation is given to the entire world, from the end of the Eugenics Wars to Star Trek Nemesis and beyond.

The Song of the Seven Sided Star - A Faith of the Seven Overhaul by CaekDaemon

Summary
Seven. In the lands of Westeros, no number is more important than seven. Seven Kingdoms. Seven Hells. Seven Gods.
Yet despite the immense importance of religion in a medieval society, the Faith of the Seven is one of the more barebones parts of the setting and lacks depth; there is very little history behind the faith and even less about its holidays, its practices and places of worship and all the other things that help make a religion into a religion. The Song of the Seven Sided Star is not a story, not in the traditional sense, but is rather a complete reimagining of the Faith of the Seven...and the impact it has to create a radically different Westeros where the knights of the Faith ride to protect their brothers and sisters of the Faith from Ironborn reavers, Northern invaders and Essosi slavers who serve a Freehold reborn under Aegon Targaryen and his sister wives.
