* ''Comments:'': This story is set firmly in the universe of the Tv Series, as things stood near the end of Season 4, but diverges in more ways than just ForWantOfANail afterwards (the story was started when Season 4 was wrapping up its initial airing). Nonetheless, the author seems well-acquainted with content from the books and so the narrative is enriched by further elements, becoming its own story in due time. Tyrion's developing his own power-base on his own terms is genuinely inspirational, and he becomes a major player in Essossi politics and beyond; not only does he [[spoiler:take Arya into his Braavosi household]], but when his presence affects things in Westeros it becomes even more unpredictable to see where the story is going. Tywin being alive for a longer period of time makes for its own interesting ripple effects separate from Tyrion's influence, so the narrative quickly goes OffTheRails in a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome glorious]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments even]] [[TearJerker emotionally]] [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments satisfying]], fashion before too long.

* ''Comments'': A very good story, it looks like the [[ForWantOfANail nail]] is Arthur Dayne is at the Battle of the Trident rather than the Tower of Joy so Arthur was able to protect Rhaegar from being killed by Robert. It seems this greatly embittered Ned who thought Robert would have made a great king.

* ''Comments'': An excellent author his main pairing is Jon/Daenerys but he does develop other couples. He has the ability to make unlikeable people from canon and make them sympathetic (except for Robert Baratheon). I thoroughly recommend his works. He frequently mentions how much he dislikes Season 8 and the writers who wrote it.

* Status: Dormant

* ''Comments'': An odd combination of a HighSchoolAU and PeriodFic, ''Game of Stacks'' is both ''Series/GameOfThrones'' in a modern world educational system as well as the implied future of Westeros. The characterization is spot on, with wonderful little changes thrown into each character to modernize them to the setting.

* ''Comments'': . A prolific author in the fandom, supporter of Jon/Dany, writes works in both the modern era and good old dangerous Westeros, note that the author's stories are mostly targeted to the more mature audience. They wrote quite a lot of stories in the fandom, and their character development and portrayal is well-done. Have a few works written with [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/justwanderingneverlost/pseuds/justwanderingneverlost justwanderingneverlost]].

* ''Comments'': A prolific author who writes smut, feels, fluff, angst and feels and feels all in one, with works set in the modern world and good ole Westeros. Stories are (so far) mostly rated M, do not read if you are opposed to smut and feels. Their stories have Broken People Healing, and Very Nice Speeches. Love their take on the characters, and how they stick to pre-S8 canon portrayal of the characters.( Have a few works written with [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/ashleyfanfic/pseuds/ashleyfanfic ashleyfanfic]], a fellow Jonerys-supporter.
