[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6821911?view_full_work=true Promise]] is a fanfic set in ''Series/GameOfThrones''. It covers Ned Stark's POV of Robert's Rebellion from when he heard about his brother Brandon's abduction to Ned's return to Winterfell at the end of the war.
!!This fanfic provides examples of:
* FantasticRacism: Jon Arryn has some for the Crannogmen, such as Howland Reed.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Robert. He speaks a lot about his love for Lyanna, but he ReallyGetsAround.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Pretty much the reaction of every Southern lord Ned meets when he returns to King's Landing from Dorne.
-->"Southern lords sneered at him in his absence, imagining the straight man who was a living reproach for them had finally infringed his moral code."
* NotSoDifferent: This fanfic gives another reason why Catelyn doesn't like Jon: Ned taking his bastard to raise under his roof reminds her too much of [[DirtyOldMan Walder Frey]].
* ParentalSubstitute: Ned will become this to [[spoiler:Jon Snow]]. Howland even references it.
-->'''Howland''': He's a Stark. He's your son, now.
* TheSquire: A 12-year-old Sandor Clegane is serving as Tywin Lannister's squire.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Ned notes the fact that [[spoiler:Jon]] has the Stark features (dark hair and grey eyes) is a blessing and a curse, because no one will doubt his parentage, though he will carry the mark of being a bastard for the rest of his life.
