''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1372063/chapters/2869567 The Lion of the North]]'' is an Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire fanfic that diverges from the books in one tiny event: Jaime Lannister manages to save Princess Rhaenys and Prince Aegon from being killed, but when he falls asleep his father Tywin Lannister has them murdered. This causes a rift between Jaime and Tywin after Jaime decides he will not follow his father's footsteps, and there is also a fight between Robert and Ned after the former heartily approves of the murders.
Disheartened by the changes in his friend, Ned begins his travel back to the North, and he invites Jaime to join them, an offer he eventually accepts. Then, one of the Northmen gifts Jaime with a mountain lion's pelt, giving him the nickname [[TitleDrop The Lion of the North]].
The first story deals with the time between the end of Robert's Rebellion and the Greyjoy Rebellion, and there is also a second part, ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2008107/chapters/4352622 The Crimson Wings of Summer]]'', that tells of the events after that.
!!This fanfic has examples of:
* BadAss: Jaime, naturally.
* BigFancyCastle: Lionsfort, Jaime's seat in the North. Much is made of its copper roofs.
* ButLiquorIsQuicker[=/=]InVinoVeritas: Jaime has sex with Maege Mormont for the first time while he is on a bender.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Jaime to Tywin after learning the latter had the royal family murdered.
* ChildImmortality: [[[AvertedTrope averted]], as the death of two children is what kickstarts the story.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Jaime decided to renounce to his father's beliefs and go to the North to find a new life for himself. Tywin decides to cause a rift between King Robert and the North.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: three of Robert's bastard children (the only one we know of is Gendry) have been killed [[spoiler:by Melisandre to make Cersei become pregnant]].
* DrowningMySorrows: Jaime tries this a couple of times, the worst after he learns that Cersei is pregnant.
* EnfantTerrible: Joffrey, who, if possible, is even ''worse'' than the canon one thanks to Melisandre's influence: the cat affair turns from gutting it to check on the babies to ''a sacrifice to the Lord of Light'', and he seems to enjoy fires a bit too much.
* ForWantOfANail: everything happens because Jaime, instead of staying on the Iron Throne after killing Aerys, rushes to get Aegon and Rhaenys to safety.
* HistoryRepeatsItself: Ned decides he will do his best to fortify the North so that the events that led to Robert's Rebellion will not repeat themselves.
** Jaime fears this might happen when he learns [[spoiler:Maege is giving birth to his twins, thinking that they might do the same as ]], but it is averted when [[spoiler:both of them are girls.]]
* IHaveNoSon: Tywin has Jaime disowned after he decides to go to the North.
* {{Irony}}: the event detailed below in the WhamLine might lead to people ''not'' suspecting that Cersei is cheating on Robert.
* ManipulativeBastard: Tywin takes advantage of his influence over Robert (greater than in the books) to turn Robert against the North.
* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Jaime Lannister[=/=]Maege Mormont and Benjen Stark[=/=]Obara (Sand) Martell.
* TheChosenOne: Melisandre believes (or, rather, she says) that Joffrey is the Harbinger.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: when Ned arrives to Seagard, he realizes how much Robert has changed when he has [[spoiler:Aeron Greyjoy's severed head]] served on the table they are eating on.
* WhamLine:
-->Tommen Baratheon, second in line for the throne of Westeros, was born[[spoiler:, blue-eyed, black-haired and]] screaming, during the fiercest storm that had swept over King’s Landing in many years.
* WorthlessYellowRocks: the Northmen have no inclination for the ice sapphires found in Lionsfort - Jaime thinks it is a result of the North being harsher - and are surprised that people from the south will pay very well for just one sapphire.
* YourCheatingHeart: Cersei not only cheats on Robert with another man (Ser Eamon, an unknown Lannister) but also thinks of Jaime while she has sex with Eamon.
