History Fanfic / TheLadyOfRiversAndStorms

* [[TragicStillbirth Tragic Miscarriage]]: Losing her would-be firstborn heavily impacted Lysa's personality, and she still grieves in secret even after years of a good marriage and birthing several healthy children.

** Lysa says that Arya's habit of making friends with lowborn people is something she observed in Edmure.

* InSpiteOfANail: Littlefinger is able to climb the social ladder as in canon, he just takes a different route as the advisor to Rhea Arryn.

* UnluckilyLucky: Elbert Arryn fell off his horse and broke his leg, but managed to avoid being executed by the Mad King and survived to have children of his own.

* OutnumberedSibling: Steffon is Lysa and Stannis' only son.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul:

** Elbert Arryn's children are named for Robert Baratheon, Jon Arryn and Cersei Lannister.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Elbert Arryn is of the "died later than in canon". Instead of being executed by King Aerys, he fell off his horse near Wayfarer's Rest, broke his leg, and got left behind. Since Elbert married a Royce and had some children of his own, Jon Arryn didn't marry Lysa.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Robert Arryn is now the son of Elbert Arryn and Rhea Royce rather than Jon Arryn and Lysa Tully.

** Celia is named for Lysa's great-aunt, who was almost a princess.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Lysa has no fondness for Cersei or Robert. Especially Cersei.
** Also, she didn't like Brandon Stark and thinks Catelyn will be much happier with Ned instead.

* {{Tomboy}}: Arya Stark of course, but both Celia and Minisa Baratheon have a couple traits. Celia sometimes wears trousers to ride while Minisa likes climbing and wants Steffon to teach her archery.

-->"He’s the only one who’s not a complete savage, though that says little enough of an Ironborn. But the vermin will rebel again and again over any leader that’s not one of them."

** Elbert Arryn’s children are named for Robert Baratheon, Jon Arryn and Cersei Lannister.

* RealityEnsues: There hasn't been a lady at Storm's End for several years by the end of Robert's Rebellion. Therefore, most of the household are at a loss of what a lady is supposed to do, and Maester Cressen has nothing to help with MorningSickness (Lady Cassana was fortunate not to suffer from it).
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Elbert Arryn. Instead of being executed by King Aerys, he fell off his horse near Wayfarer's Rest and got left behind. Since Elbert married a Royce and had some children of his own, Jon Arryn didn't marry Lysa.

* TemptingFate: Sarra says that Cersei's place is insecure because she doesn’t have a child yet. Not much later, Cersei is pregnant with Joffrey.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Robert Arryn does exist, he’s just the son of Elbert Arryn and his Royce wife instead of Jon Arryn and Lysa Tully.

** The Blackfish went to Storm's End since Lysa didn't marry into the Vale. He would have gone to Winterfell because Catelyn’s in an unfamiliar land, but a) the North has no knights, and b) he hates Jon Snow just as much as Catelyn does because of the stain on her honor.

* HeirClubForMen: Played with. While Steffon is Stannis’s heir, Lysa makes sure Celia is taught everything about running a castle and kingdom, everything except war.

* MaidenAunt: Celia Tully is revealed to have become one of these for Hoster and Brynden Tully. After Jaehaerys Targaryen son of Aegon V (later Jaehaerys II) married his sister Shaera, Lord Tully was unable to find another match for Celia and blamed her. It’s Lysa’s greatest fear that she would become like Celia, unable to find a husband and be forced to live at Riverrun for the rest of her life.

* TooDumbToLive: Littlefinger tried to boast about his taking Lysa's maidenhood (and Catelyn’s) at court... in which the Tullys are ''quite'' influent since Lysa married the King's brother. Needless to say, he quickly shut his trap after Stannis almost punched his face for slandering his lady wife.
