''[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-spark-of-ice-and-fire-story-only-thread.365169/ A Spark of Ice and Fire]]'' is a CrossOver FanFic between Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire and WebComic/GirlGenius. The crossover takes place during an, in appearance small, but ultimately very important moment of the series: when Jaime and Tyrion found a young girl called Tysha in the forests outside Casterly Rock. In the books, while Jaime scared off the brigands attacking Tysha, Tyrion went for Tysha, something that developed in a relationship and a marriage that was horribly ended when [[spoiler:Tywin had all of his guardsmen rape Tysha]].

The story (which, unfortunately, can only be accessed by Website/AlternateHistoryDotCom members) is a very good one, pointing out the madness that is the WebComic/GirlGenius universe and seamlessly introducing it into the gritty low fantasy that is Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire. It has lots of humor, much action, some romance and even some political drama around. If you are a fan of either of the universes, it is totally worth the read.
