History NightmareFuel / AManOfIron

* Margaery, revealed to be this story's version of Characters/ScarletWitch, is the one to kill Tywin in this universe, by means of throwing him out the window of his office. We get to witness the quick fall from Tywin's POV, which like Brice's death scene ends by [[KilledMidSentence just suddenly stopping]].

** Loras, who is [[Characters/MarvelComicsQuicksilver Quicksilver]], casually explains how easy it was for him to kill Joffrey and frame Littlefinger for it. Also, he and Margaery were the ones who engineered the Blue Oyster fight, in order to try and eliminate Jon as an asset for Tywin.

** Euron's FauxAffablyEvil nature lends him a creepy effect that leaves Robb very disturbed.
* The Masters of Meereen unveil their trump card -- the Juggernaut, who easily tears Wade apart and {{No Sell}}s the Hulk. Unfortunately for the Masters, he then decides that AsskickingEqualsAuthority and takes over the city by force.
** During the chaos of the fight against the Juggernaut, many slaves take advantage to turn on the Masters, further spreading the violence. Daenerys can't help but realize that this is just a taste of what will happen in Westeros when she has to fight to conquer it.

* Euron reveals that buried underneath Hardhome is a pool of a liquid that came from another world (confirmed by WordOfGod to be a mass of [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} symbiotes]]), which he’s been experimenting with by throwing prisoners into, resulting in them all turning into mindless berserk beasts with warped muscles. And to top it off, the victim explodes in the end, just like all of Euron's previous failures. He implies that these creatures are the reason that at least some of the prior attempts at building a society at Hardhome over the centuries have failed.

* During the Battle of the Blackwater, a Lannister guard tries to kill Tyrion -- and it quickly becomes apparent that it's a wight, [[ImplacableMan as it keeps coming no matter what he does to defend himself]]. Worse, in the process of trying to get to safety, Tyrion falls into a puddle of wildfire, burning his hands in horrifying detail.
** As WordOfGod explains afterwards, the wildfire plan accidentally creates the same recipe for unlocking mutant powers. Except this time there's too little Targaryen blood with just a few bastard descendants among Stannis' men, and too many human sacrifices, and so it goes wrong with many of the new mutants going completely insane and lashing out randomly with their powers, while others are stuck with horrifically mutated bodies.

* Loki's execution of Amora. After cutting off one of her hands, stabbing the other and pummeling her, he takes a corrosive poison that is specially treated so that you literally cannot die because of it and throws it on her face. We get a ''graphic'' description of how the flesh melts off her face and remaining hand and the venom gets into her throat and destroys her vocal chords even as she shrieks, before he finishes her off. And as he explains it, since Asgardians are in the afterlife as they were in death, this means that Amora will spend ''the rest of eternity'' deformed and in agony.

* Jon's adult fear at the thought of his and Natasha's future daughter being made to marry Joffrey's future son, as per Tywin's plans.

* Vulture King's attacks result in the death of all people in the merchant caravan attacked. That's bad enough on its own. Then, finally, there is a survivor that could be questioned to confirm whether other bandits were involved -- a pre-teen boy that survived by crawling under a bramble bush, leaving him with permanent scars in addition to severe trauma. And to cap it off, afterwards Tywin decides that the best way to provide for the kid is to leave him in the care of one of his men -- Ser Adrian of the Tombs.

** Just ''how much influence'' Qyburn has had on Westeros' history - among other things, he is heavily implied to have engineered Robert's Rebellion and Jon's birth.

* Magneto's rampage in Harrenhal proves just how deadly he can be. And the way he activates Gendry and Arya's mutant powers: he took the surviving Bloody Mummers and ''roasted them alive''. With wildfire. Poor Arya gives a really graphic depiction of Hoat burning.

** Then, Thor's punishment for the three would-be rapists, which he makes so brutal that he swears bards through the Realm will have to invent new happy songs to erase the horrors he is going to visit upon them.

*** The Dreadfort has a new prisoner select an older prisoner. The new guy gets that cell... and the next day gets a blanket made of ''the old prisoner's skin'', with the old prisoner's face in the middle, stretched so it is always screaming.

* The raw power Thor showcases. While he appears rather goofy and lighthearted when he is pissed off he unleashes a fraction of his power, creating the blackest of storms ever seen and using the lightning to carve the words "I AM THOR GOD OF THUNDER" in the hillside near the parlay. If it weren't for Davos calling for him to stop it is likely Renly and his entire party would have died.

* During the riot in King's Landing, a group of men try to rape Not-Sansa. She casually kills one with a NeckSnap, then ''tears the others apart with her bare hands.'' Varys, watching this from a hiding spot, is left horrified. What's worse, Sansa is not only the Night's Queen, she is ''Hela''.

* The beginning of the burning of the statues of the Seven reminds Jane of the people that have already been burned alive by Melisandre. It is made obvious that Shireen has been forced to see all the burnings that have taken place, and Jane is left hoping that Shireen will not become a fanatic like her mother.

* The mood in King's Landing when Tyrion and co. enter the city: fights in the streets, the Goldcloaks too scared to act because there is a very ''real'' danger of dying via a mob, ''blood on the walls''.

** Myranda's death manages to be even worse than Ramsay's. She is stripped naked, her tongue is ripped out, her eyes are sealed shut with hot wax, and she has shallow cuts made along her torso before salt water was poured on her. She is left wandering around sobbing and scared, looking for Ramsay... and then Vanko wraps his burning whips around her throat. Mr. Chaos goes into graphic detail of her skin burning down to the muscle before she finally dies. There is a reason this is the first chapter to receive a warning for graphic violence.

* Rickon begins to show an ability to tell that they are not in the original timeline, Robb and him begin to hear a ghostly song in the crypts of Winterfell... and suddenly Rickon is swallowed by a portal in front of Robb, Roslin and Luwin.

* Tony and Pepper's utter horror when Jon is summoned to King's Landing, officially to serve on the Small Council but everyone knows he's supposed to become a hostage and a pawn to the Lannisters. Even worse is the possibility of Joffrey going Mad King on the young man for the slightest reason. And yet there's nothing they can do to prevent Jon's depart.

* Joffrey, warming up to Jon, casually decides that when he kills all the other Starks he'll bring Catelyn to King's Landing and let Jon do whatever he wants to her in the throne room as a reward, with it implied that he is suggesting Jon rape then murder her.

* The Lannisters now know that Lyanna and Rhaegar had a son and are determined to find him. Jon and Natasha are rightfully terrified by this.

* The Commander of the Others, this story's version of the ComicBook/RedSkull. Jeor notes that as inhuman as the rest of the Others are, the Commander makes them seem normal by comparison -- we're given graphic detail of his skull-like face, including the normal tongue and teeth that [[UncannyValley look even more disturbing when combined with the rest]].

** Euron's FauxAffablyEvil nature lends him an UncannyValley effect that leaves Robb very disturbed.

* Euron reveals that buried underneath Hardhome is a pool of a liquid that came from another world (confirmed by WordOfGod to be a mass of [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} symbiotes]]), which he has been experimenting with by throwing prisoners into, resulting in them all turning into mindless berserk beasts with warped muscles. And to top it off, the victim explodes in the end, just like all of Euron's previous failures. He implies that these creatures are the reason that at least some of the prior attempts at building a society at Hardhome over the centuries have failed.
