History Fanfic / ASpartanInWesteros

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 12: [[spoiler:Mance Ryderis revealed to be present at the feast for Robert's arrival in Winterfell, while Tyrion ends up learning about Cortana]]

* CherryTapping: During his fight against the six knights, he punches one of them hard enough that his helmet goes flying. The last knight rushes him, so Chief steps back... [[BrickJoke and lets the helmet do his job for him]].

* ArmorPiercingSlap[=/=]NeckSnap: How the Spartan killed Aegon II after he demanded the Spartan surrender King's Landing to him and kneel under threat of hiring an army of sellswords to take the city by force.

* KingInTheMountain: How the Spartan is considered in the North, with the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' as his mountain. He will only answer the calls of the King in the North when the North or the innocent are in danger.
* TheKingslayer: The Spartan has killed three kings (Maegor the Cruel, Aegon II, Aegon IV) in three hundred years.
* LaughThemselvesSick: When Daeron I came to ask for the North's support in his campaign against Dorne, King Cregan Stark told him no. Then Daeron stated that the Spartan surely would aid him in his cause to unite the South. Reportedly, Cregan guffawed so hard that he had to be treated for chest pains.

* NoSell: A good number of dragons tried to burn the Spartan alive. The fire does not even singe his armor.

* WildCard: The Spartan's army during the Dance of Dragons. His first action was to save Prince Viserys Targaryen (Rhaenyra's son) and Jacaerys Velaryon (descendant of a Stark princess that married Aegon I), thus appearing to support the Blacks. The next was to defeat Elmo Tully's army, which was part of the Blacks. As the Spartan said, his only worry was to protect the smallfolk that were being attacked by the nobles just because their lord was not on the right side.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: The Spartan killed Aegon II with this after he demanded the Spartan surrender King's Landing to him and kneel under threat of hiring an army of sellswords to take the city by force.

* BullyingADragon: Any time a Targaryen makes demands of the Spartan. See TooDumbToLive.
* ButterflyNet: In spite of the North helping stop the Andal invasion and then remaining independent when Aegon comes calling, the list of Kings of the Five Kingdoms and of Lords[=/=]Kings in the North is pretty much identical to that of the books.
* TheFundamentalist: How Baelor I became to be seen, trying to force the Starks to convert to the Faith of the Seven, sending many septons and septas to attempt to convert the First Men, and culminating in attempting to force Cregan's heir to convert, forcing him to do menial jobs after stripping him of all that he carried with him when he (naturally) refused.

* LaughThemselvesSick: When Daeron I came to ask for the North's support in his campaign against Dorne, King Cregan Stark told him no. Then Daeron stated that the Spartan surely would aid him in his cause. Reportedly, Cregan guffawed so hard that he had to be treated for chest pains.
* PinocchioSyndrome: A variation, in that the Spartan puts Cortana's consciousness in Rickon (Cregan's heir) and Rhaena's second child, a girl the parents name Cortana.
* TooDumbToLive: All those Targaryens that thought they would be able to kill the Spartan. Aegon and Visenya (the first to try) get a pass, since they did not know of the Spartan's true martial prowess. Everyone else that tried after them (Maekar, Aegon II, Rhaenyra, etc.) does not.
* WorthyOpponent: Aemon the Dragonknight for the Spartan.

* CelibateHero: Master Chief. JustifiedTrope, because of the treatments he underwent a he became a Spartan.

* CherryTapping: During his fight against the six knights, he punches one of them hard enough that his helmet goes flying. The last knight rushes him, so Chief steps back... and lets the helmet do his job for him.

* RefugeInAudacity: During her escape from the Red Keep, Arya takes her time to lay out a few pranks. She leaves the Goldcloaks with a large case of diarrhea, drops her special knife for them to find and learn it was her that did the deal, then takes it back and leaves with help from Gendry - and carrying a large bag full of loot and food.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: Arianne Martell really likes Master Chief well before she even sees her face.

* ValuesDissonance: The gathered Westrosi wonder why chief's compatriots would not commit suicide when they were crippled in war, and are stunned into confused silence when he replies that where he comes from suicide is an unforgivable sin. Since they consider someone living as a cripple to be a burden to themselves and their family.

[[WMG: This fanfic provides examples of:]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Master Chief, Arya, Jon and Will save Sansa and Joffrey from two bears that attack them.

** Cersei should know better than to do this to a guy that could beat six knights (who made that mistake, too) in about as many seconds.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Joffrey, in his usual Jerkass self, complains that Chief saved him, stating he has shamed him in front of Sansa. Chief puts him in place quite soon.

* LuminescentBlush: Cortana when Sansa figures out the former has the hots for the Chief.

* OneManArmy: Master Chief, of course. One of the Omakes has him go through six knights (non-lethally) in about half a minute. Another has him wipe out most of the Kingsguard and a good bunch of Lannister guards in a minute.

* UngratefulBastard: Master Chief and his trainees Jon, Arya and Will save Joffrey and Sansa from a couple of bears. Joffrey takes exactly zero seconds in trying to blame them for his injuries.

* BullyingADragon: The Lord of Bones should have shut his mouth before threatening Master Chief and the Night's Watch.

* StoryboardingTheApocalypse: Not so much, but when Eddard asks why not to give gunpowder to the smallfolk, so that they will stop being used as fodder by knights and nobles, Cortana points out what would most likely happen: such a thing becoming more common would completely negate the one thing that keeps the Seven Kingdoms' society from totally falling apart - the superiority of the noble over the vassal. With gunpowder weapons - relatively easy to make, train for and use, as opposed to the many years required to train crossbowmen and knights - readily available, a noble with enough money could decide to buy himself an army and try to take power by force, other nobles could decide to fight over petty struggles, and large-scale rebellions by common people could take place, which would suddenly leave everyone bereft of the relative protection of the feudal society that they've had for their entire lives, causing great chaos and strong-preying-on-weak anarchy.

* GentleGiant: Even Bran readily notices that for all of Chief's huge bulk, inhuman strength, otherworldly origins, fantastical weapons, and his tendency to never take of his armor, the Chief actually has an air of awkward gentleness about him--not that his presence isn't still intimidating as hell.

* OddFriendship: Maester Luwin, an old human Westerosi scholar, and Cortana, the most advanced and knowledgeable AI the UNSC ever made, veteran of a galactic war and a battle 100,000+ years in the making, thousands of lightyears outside of the galaxy. They both fascinate each other, and neither expected to find such a sharp academic mind to interact with in a place and time like this.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Master Chief, Cortana, and the crashed wreck of the ''Dawn'', for Westeros. Well, for those inclined to cross them or the Starks--in other words, scheming, ambitious, ruthless, power-grabbing bastards--anyway. Varys is a notable exception, however: this new development could very well throw all of his plans into jeopardy, but he immediately acknowledges that he must and ''should'' adapt to any new factor that is game-changing enough to be such a concern in the first place.

* StoryboardingTheApocalypse: Not so much, but when Eddard asks why not to give gunpowder to the smallfolk, so that they will stop being used as fodder by knights and nobles, Cortana points out what would most likely happen: such a thing becoming more common would completely negate the one thing that keeps the Seven Kingdoms society from totally falling apart - the superiority of the noble over the vassal.

** The fairy tales Cortana tells to the Stark children are about [[Disney/{{Frozen}} a princess with ice powers]], [[Disney/{{Brave}} a red-haired princess that uses a bow]], [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone a boy who pulled a sword out of a stone]] and [[Disney/MonstersInc the monsters behind all the doors]].

* BullyingADragon: The Lord of Bones should have shut his mouth before threatening Master Chief and the Nights Watch.

** The fairy tales Cortana tells to the Stark girls are about [[Disney/{{Frozen}} a princess with ice powers]], [[Disney/{{Brave}} a red-haired princess that uses a bow]], [[Disney/TheSwordInTheStone a boy who pulled a sword out of a stone]] and [[Disney/MonstersInc the monsters behind all the doors]].

* NeutralGood: Cortana and the Master Chief make a point to stay out of politics where possible, only getting involved when investigating big, mutual threats to all of Westeros or keeping the peace within all of Westeros itself. He ''is'' friends with the Starks and resides at the edges of Winterfell, though, and has already promised to protect them from unjust harm. Among other reasons, Chief felt more comfortable building a rapport with House Stark upon coming to learn that said House also tended to be a NeutralGood within the politics of Westeros.
