History Fanfic / DragonsOfIceAndFire

* TheBeastmaster: Skinchangers and wargs in general. With Jon, he has [[CanineCompanion Ghost]], [[RightHandCat Phantom]], and, of course, [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons Sonagon]]. The three-eyed crow, Bran, Varamyr and all the other wargs all qualify too.

* OurGiantsAreBigger: Jon gets an army of the giants.

* PowerDyesYourHair: Jon gets white hair after the incident that rose Sonagon. It's supposedly due to temporarily being a wight before being successfully revived, but it also makes him look more Targaryen- a fact many people note.
* PragmaticVillainy: Randyll Tarly's main motivation for [[spoiler:siding with Aegon Targaryen's kingship is that he believes the alliance will establish peace and stability in King's Landing, so the war could focus on Euron Greyjoy's invasion in Tarly's homeland. Counts as villainy because Tarly assassinated Tyrell men, including the previous Warden of the South, to remove Aegon's major opposition outside King's Landing.]]
** Once they are south of the Wall a few wildlings leaders try to recruit Rattleshirt into their planned coup against Jon Snow. Rattleshirt kills "them" instead. He never likes Jon, but will still wait until there is no risk to his own hide.

** This is actually {{Zigzagged}} with the reveal that [[spoiler: the Others were searching for Jon's unique bloodline for years, ans when they found him, drove him towards the place where Sonagon was buried on purpose in order to use his blood to awaken the dragon. They definitely weren't expecting Jon to survive and take the dragon for himself, however.]]

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Val and Dalla are heavily implied to be Greatjon Umber's daughters Valerie and Rebekah, lost in a wildling raid two decades earlier.

* AbdicateTheThrone: Jon abdicates his titles as King in the North and King Beyond the Wall to Bran, believing the North would be better unified under a trueborn.

** In chapter 14, the whaler Alvin Whaletooth tells Jon about sea monsters, the worst being the leviathan. [[spoiler:Later Euron Greyjoy summons a kraken during the Battle of Oldtown.]]

* BatmanGambit: Petyr Baelish planned to marry Sansa to Harry the Heir specifically because he knew [[spoiler:Harry is the kind of man to exploit MaritalRapeLicense.]] He did this so Sansa would feel vulnerable and hurt so that she'd turn to him for help and become more reliant on him.

The first chapter was published in October 2016, with the first of two books nearing completion.

* BetterThanCanon: Better than the HBO Series is a repeated complement in reviews.

* CoolSword: Jon looses Longclaw. When Bloodraven points out he needs a new sword Jon laments that he is unlikely to find a finer blade...so Bloodraven gives him Dark Sister, an ancestral Targaryen blade. In Jon's next battle he slices clean through a giant's leg in one stroke.

* HiddenBackupPrince: Bronn privately reveals to [[spoiler:Olyvar Frey that Lollys Stokeworth's gang rape pregnancy is a cover story for the truth, that King Joffrey raped her in the aftermath of the Riot of Kings Landing. Subverted though since no one will rally around a baby while the kingdoms are at war. Bronn knows this, but he still takes pride in his stepson's royal blood.]]

* AltumVidetur: Only with old Valyrian instead of latin and mildly deconstructed, since Jon isn't fluent in the language he accidentally gave the dragon a verb for a name (Sonagon roughly translates as "to do winter").

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Tyrion is viewed as doing this when he gets excited about Sonagon.

* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Ygritte. The last time Jon saw her she was alive, but falling over a cliff in the remote wilderness north of the Wall.]]

* OneManArmy: Very much Jon. He goes from surviving beyond the Wall and fighting wights all by himself for months, to [[spoiler:cutting down twenty knights from Stannis' army all by himself]]. Though he did have help from all his [[CanineCompanion animal]] [[TheBeastmaster friends.]]

* RevenantZombie: Turns out that it's possible for some wights to regain control of their body after the Others turn them. If done quickly enough their hearts re-start and they become regular humans again, like Jon Snow, though it turns his hair white. Those who regain their bodies later have no heartbeat and don't age, like [[spoiler: Coldhands]].

* FromBadToWorse: The Battle of the Snows [[spoiler:devastated the north's fighting forces. Then Malvern raised most of the corpses as wights and starts sending them for the Wall. Then right when Jon Snow attempts to marshall some form of force to stop them Melisandre's shadow assassin strikes.]]

* FridgeHorror: It's never explicitly stated what happened to [[spoiler: captives like Margaery Tyrell, Jeyne Poole and others while they were prisoner, but the [[PrisonRape context makes it pretty clear that it wasn't very nice]]. There is a lot of emphasis that women in their situation have been suffering a lot.]]

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: It turns out that [[spoiler:Cersei's prophecy is self-fulfilling. She is so scared of the [[BecauseDestinySaysSo volanqar]] coming to kill her that she turns the Red Keep into a hostage situation. This directly leads to the multiplication of her enemies who manipulating her fear into straight-up paranoia. It is her fear of her younger brother that leads [[YouCantFightFate a different younger brother to strangle her]].]]

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: It turns out that [[spoiler:Cersei's prophecy is self-fulfilling. She is so scared of the [[BecauseDestinySaysSo volanqar]] coming to kill her that she locks the gates and turns the Red Keep into a hostage situation. This directly leads to all of her enemies manipulating her fear into straight-up paranoia. It is her fear of her little brother that leads [[YouCantFightFate another little brother to strangle her]].]]
** In universe meta example. Melisandre believes Jon Snow is fated to die only at Stannis's hands. [[spoiler:Thus her shadow assassin doesn't target him when it attacks at Winterfell.]]

* SurprisinglySuddenDeath: [[spoiler:Aemon, the old blind and father figure maester, after being pushed down the stairs by surprise assassins going for Jon]].

** It's the method that ultimately kills [[spoiler:Malvern]]. In large part it works because one of Samwell's defining characteristics is his cowardice.

* MixedAncestry: The Others' king [[spoiler:is half human. According to Bloodraven this makes him and the Others more dangerous because their otherwise dispassionate nature has become infused with human emotions like anger and hate.]]

** Fat Lord Manderly also counts[[spoiler:, especially when he has three Freys sledgehammered to death in the middle of his court.]]

* EnemyMine: Ramsay hates Jon Snow, [[spoiler:but he hates the white walkers more because Malvern raised and controlled him as a wight.]]

* OurGiantsAreBigger: [[spoiler:Jon gets an army of the giants.]]

* ProphecyTwist: [[spoiler: The ''valonqar'' Cersei feared so much? ''Kevan Lannister'', who qualifies by virtue of being born after Tywin, and strangles her when he sees how low she fell.]]

** Ramsey [[spoiler:puts forward that he was solely responsible point of view narration at the height of his victory over Jon Snow

* KillItWithFire: Played straight with the [[BurnTheUndead Other's wights]], but then very much averted with [[spoiler: [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Qyburn's special creatures]] - that he uses as [[ManOnFire unstoppable suicide]] [[BurnBabyBurn bombers carrying wildfire]].]]

* MixedBlood: The Others' king [[spoiler:is half human. According to Bloodraven this makes him and the Others more dangerous because their otherwise dispassionate nature has become infused with human emotions like anger and hate.]]
