History YMMV / TheNorthRemembers

* 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 recent developments in Series/GameOfThrones.

YMMV for ''Fanfic/TheNorthRemembers''.

* HolyShitQuotient: Extremely high, especially in chapter 99: [[spoiler: Ser Robert the Strong has Robb Stark's head!]]

* MagnificentBastard: Ser Wylis Manderly. Like father like son, eh?

* SoCoolItsAwesome: This is the top rated ASOIAF story on FF.net for a ''reason''.

** IronWoobie: Sansa Stark and Jon Snow.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Cersei may have been a scheming, self-destructive bitch whose actions caused the ruin of her House, but the moment she realized that Jaime, the brother she loved, was the Valonqar who would kill her, was surprisingly poignant.]]

* CompleteMonster: Ramsay Bolton is depicted in the exact same way as in the books, as is Gregor Clegane in Sandor's memories.

* TheWoobie: Many, many examples, but Edmure Tully and Jeyne Westerling easily stand out as the biggest ones. Edmure for [[spoiler: having his plans botched of getting Jeyne to safety by Addam Marbrand, who sends a raven to Cersei who then promptly executes his lady wife and unborn child, destroying any leverage the Lannisters may have held on him]], and Jeyne for [[spoiler: her guilt over getting the man she loved killed by treachery, and then forced to abandon everything she knew and escape out of Riverrun with the Blackfish. Her entire family, along with Roslin, is completely wiped out because of her actions, leaving absolutely nothing else for her but the heir of the North growing inside her. And when she finally gives birth, the northern lords who had generally treated her well with hospitality soundly reject her after seeing that her son was born crippled because of the contraceptives she had unknowingly used.]]

* BetterThanCanon: ''A lot'' of fans consider this to be better than [[Literature/AFeastForCrows the latest]] [[Literature/ADanceWithDragons books published]] in that it averts DarknessInducedAudienceApathy, utilizes popular fan theories, and puts the storyline back on track to its general pacing like the first three books.

** YourMileageMayVary, though. This troper thought the author's excessive focus on the Starks (combined with the general theme of "anyone who ever hurt the Starks must pay and pay and pay") and the use of {{Jossed}} fan-theories such as Jeyne Westerling carrying Robb's son was rather tiresome and brought down the quality of the story. It's light-years better than most fanfiction, but still very flawed.

* SoCoolItsAwesome: This is the top rated ASOIAF on FF.net for a ''reason''.

* BetterThanCanon: With regards to the latest books published at least. Many fans consider this to be just as good as the original three in terms of plotting, character development, and creative use of plot twists.

* 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 you 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.]]
