Fanfic / Robb Returns

Go To

I must do this! I have to know! I need to know why I was sent back!
Robb Stark, talking to the Old Gods, Chapter 2.

When Robb Stark died during the Red Wedding, he died not knowing of the catastrophe about to happen to all of Westeros: the White Walkers. The War of the Five Kings only proved to be something that distracted the North from the real problem. So, the Old Gods make a choice: Robb Stark must be sent back in time.

That's how the A Song of Ice and Fire fanfiction Robb Returns begins. Robb "arrives" to several months before Jon Arryn's death, but the great change begins when Ned Stark learns not only of the events that might have taken place if the future was not changed, but of the incoming threat of the White Walkers. This leads to an avalanche of changes that sends every character in completely different (and some even unexpected) paths as the hidden history of the world becomes revealed and the worst winter in centuries approaches.

In spite of this, though, the Game of Thrones continues. The pieces have changed, the board has been shaken and the rules are completely different, but it continues... and one wonders if what the Old Gods did was enough to stop the apocalypse...

The birth of the dire wolf pups in Chapter 63 marks about where the prequel months end and the novels' timeline starts coming in to play.
