{{For want of a nail}}, a horseshoe was lost.
This simple act of Catelyn Stark's horse throwing a horseshoe whilst returning to Winterfell, which ultimately leads to her missing Tyrion Lannister entirely at the Crossroads Inn, is what kicks off the story, and events move in an entirely different direction than seen in canon.
'''For Want Of A Nail''' is a quartet of stories by [=ScottishMongol=], in which one simple act can lead to a whole different set of consequences for the players in the game of thrones.
The four fanfics in the series are as follows:
* '''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10162309/1/For-Want-of-A-Nail-A-Game-of-Thrones For Want Of A Nail: A Game of Thrones]]'''
* '''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10162525/1/For-Want-of-A-Nail-A-Land-of-Fire For Want Of A Nail: A Land Of Fire]]'''
* '''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10329885/1/For-Want-of-a-Nail-A-Rain-of-Ash For Want Of A Nail: A Rain Of Ash]]'''
* '''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10522716/1/For-Want-of-a-Nail-A-Time-for-Wolves For Want Of A Nail: A Time For Wolves]]'''
!! This fanfic series has the following tropes:
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: [[spoiler:Stannis Baratheon]], as King of the Seven Kingdoms.
* AnyoneCanDie: Seven Hells, do they ever!
* DrivenToSuicide:
** [[spoiler:Lysa Arryn]], who flings herself out of the Moon Door...after confessing to Catelyn that both her and Baelish murdered her husband.
** [[spoiler:Tywin Lannister]] kills himself by drinking poisoned wine to avoid being captured by [[spoiler:Ned and Stannis]].
* ForWantOfANail:
** What kicks off the plot. Catelyn's horse threw a horseshoe, forcing her and Rodrik Cassel to stay overnight at a village to get the shoe replaced. Come dawn, both her and Rodrik ride past the Crossroads Inn, where Tyrion is staying.
** This time around, it's ''Littlefinger'' who gets arrested, rather than Ned Stark.
* TheFundamentalist: Melissandre, par the course.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** [[spoiler:Robert Baratheon]] still dies, but not from the supposed 'hunting accident' orchestrated by Cersei.
** [[spoiler:Renly Baratheon]] actually dies in battle, rather than being assassinated by Melissandre's shadow baby.
** Rather than being poisoned at his wedding Joffrey is stabbed to death by the Faith Militant
* ItsPersonal: Tyrion is not amused when he finds out that Littlefinger tried to set him up for the attempted murder of Bran Stark.
* KillEmAll: What Cersei plans on doing to get the Iron Throne back for her son.
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:Cersei, meet Drogon]].
* TheKingslayer: [[spoiler:Jamie Lannister]] becomes this twice over when he mortally wounds [[spoiler: Robert]] during the [[TrialByCombat Trial of Seven]].
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Addam Marbrand and Lyle Crakehall (the last two surviving men on Jamie's team), surrender, thus ending the Trial of Seven in Robert's favor.
* LastOfHisKind: Barristan Selmy, the last of the Kingsguard under Robert.

* OffWithHisHead: Petyr Baelish's fate.
* OutGambitted: This time, it's [[spoiler: Littlefinger]] who is outsmarted by ''Ned Stark'' in the first story. Tyrion doesn't hesitate to point this out when Ned orders his arrest.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere:
** Cersei and her children flee Westeros for Braavos following Ned's ultimatum.
** Once Renly crowned himself King, Tyrion flees the capital for Essos to avoid being executed.
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Littlefinger invokes this when Ned notifies him that he has Ser Hugh in a Black Cell.
-->'''Baelish''' "Do you? Down in the Black Cells. It is quite dangerous down there. Be a shame if he had died of neglect."\\
'''Ned:''' "It would. But I had my own men guarding that cell. My own men were to feed him. Anyone who attempted to enter that cell was to be detained. And perhaps the man who sent someone to silence Ser Hugh was so desperate he spoke to the assassin himself."
* ThisIsGonnaSuck:
** The reactions of Ned Stark, Davos Seaworth, and Stannis Baratheon when Jaime demands a Trial of Seven.
** With the death of [[spoiler:Jaime]], Ned knows that war between the Lannisters and the Crown is inevitable.
* TrialByCombat: A variation of it. [[spoiler:Jamie]] demands a 'Trial of Seven.'
* TheUsurper: Once Stannis leaves for the North, [[spoiler:Renly Baratheon]] crowns himself King.
