* BetterThanCanon: Some readers greatly prefer this fanfic to the later [[Literature/AFeastForCrows books]] [[Literature/ADanceWithDragons that were published]] in that it averts TooBleakStoppedCaring, utilizes popular fan theories, and puts the storyline back on track to its general pacing like the first three books.
** Also, considering the controversy surrounding the other Series/GameOfThrones completion with the books still in limbo, there could be others who consider it a proper landing for the books.

* WhatAnIdiot: Oh ''sure'' Littlefinger, [[spoiler: go ahead and weasel your way out of your undead and crazed former love's gaze by mentioning the Red Wedding. Don't forget to tell her that the whole thing was intended for Robb to be killed and for her to be ransomed back into your loving arms. Oh she might be offended, "Family Duty Honor" and all that, but she still loves you, right?]] This works as well as you would expect.

* HilariousInHindsight: Some of the twists and turns in this story - such as [[spoiler: Dany incinerating Randyll Tarly]] and [[spoiler: Littlefinger dying while begging a Stark woman for mercy]] - have turned out to be ''ludicrously'' prescient in light of certain developments in ''Series/GameOfThrones.''

* HolyShitQuotient:
** Extremely high, especially in chapter 99: [[spoiler: Ser Robert the Strong has Robb Stark's head!]]
** Or how about chapter 97, wherein [[spoiler: Aegon is revealed as a Blackfyre pretender, Jon Connington and Varys die, and two stone dragons are brought to life?]] Or if that's not doing it for you, maybe [[spoiler: Cersei trying to destroy King's Landing with wildfire, Jaime killing her, and dragons advancing on the city]] in chapter 101 will. This fic arguably has a higher HSQ than ''[[Literature/AStormOfSwords A Storm of Swords]]''.
