In the very first part of ''Game of Thrones'', the first book of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', King Robert arranges for Ned to replace Jon Arryn as Hand and arranges a marriage between his son Joffrey and Ned's daughter Sansa, to tie Houses Baratheon and Stark. Ned, Sansa, and Arya then go South. And then things get messy.

''Acts of Treason'', on the other hand, starts it much the same - except for one thing - what if Robert's [[MamasBabyPapasMaybe daughter]] Myrcella, nine years old in the canon, were older and betrothed to Ned's son Robb instead? Told over the course of eleven chapters, or acts, the story spans the course of the canon series - with several changes in characters' choices, [[FixFic most of which work out for the better in the long run]], and, of course, many a CrackShip.

TRS has defined The Beard as "fake straight relationship to hide being LGBT". Fake-dating examples that don't fit this go in Fake Relationship or one of its other subtropes. Low context/unclear examples will be deleted. In addition, For Want Of A Nail is now a disambig.


* ForWantOfANail: What if Myrcella was older than in canon?



* TheBeard: Margaery is this for Renly. Ashara could possibly be this for Jon Connington.

* AdultFear: Hoo boy. As mentioned below, poor Sansa nearly kills herself because [[spoiler: Joffrey ''murdered her son and nephew in front of her''.]]



* DrivenToSuicide: Sansa. Though she is [[BungledSuicide unsuccessful]]. It's a double-whammy of AdultFear, since it directly involves a sibling's suicidal distress [[spoiler: because both her nephew ''and'' her only son were brutally killed in front of her.]]

* AgeLift: Besides the change to Myrcella, the timeframe seems to have been advanced by 2-3 years from the original novels so as to make the younger characters more involved in the story.

* AgeLift: Besides the change to Myrcella, the timeframe seems to have been advanced by 2-3 years from the original novels so as to make the younger characters more involved in the story. This has made the younger generation somewhat different than from canon, accounting for their additional maturity in the intervening years. The result is off-screen, yet organic, CharacterDevelopment: Rickon is no longer a toddler and is so involved more with his siblings; Sansa and Arya are not as antagonistic; Arya and Jon have grown distant since the former understands her mother more, while the latter is still uncomfortable around Lady Catelyn; and many others.
