90* CovertPervert: Bran uses Summer to spy on a topless Meera.

133* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Melisandre has been slipping sedatives into Shireen's food to put her to sleep so she won't complain as she's burned alive. The sedative is a strong one; Davos takes a hard landing while carrying Shireen and she's still unconscious.

156
157* AbledInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Jon is saved by Maester Aemon.]]

171* EveryoneHasStandards:

195-->'''Tyrion''': You were rather calm about this.

262* InSpiteOfANail: The entire Dornish plotline from ''Literature/AFeastForCrows'' is done without a change, though entirely offscreen. This leads to Ser Gregor Clegane being named to the Kingsguard, [[AdaptationalWimp though not as Robert Strong.]]
263* InTheBack: [[spoiler:Missandei is killed with a knife to the back.]]
264* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Jon never wanted to sire a bastard child. Now, he has one and because of his oaths, he won't be able to keep him.]]
265* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Janos Slynt had mocked Jon by invoking "the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword" to force him to prove his loyalty to the Night's Watch by executing Ygritte, which he doesn't thanks to a conveniently timed attack by Mance Rayder. Now, he dies by that rule at Jon's hand.]]
266* KilledMidSentence: Janos Slynt.
267-->'''Janos''': You cannot, I swear...!''(Jon decapitates him)''
268* KillItWithFire: The fate of the Slaver Cities.
269* LastOfHisKind: Aeron Greyjoy is now the last of his brothers after Balon's death in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'', Victarion's death in "A Wolf Comes Home", and Euron's death here.
270* LetsSplitUpGang: After starting from Winterfell, Robb, Theon, Asha and Sansa head to the Iron Islands, Catelyn to the Vale, Gendry and Davos to the Westerlands.
271* LockedOutOfTheLoop: The Iron Islands seem to have no idea that the invasion of the North has GoneHorriblyWrong, since Aeron hasn't heard of Victarion's death.
272* MissingMom: [[spoiler:Ygritte becomes this to Jon Snow's son.]]
273* MythologyGag: Jon executed Janos Slynt in Chapter 7 of ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons''. He does the same in the seventh chapter here.

282* ShamefulStrip:
283** Margaery is captured by the Bloodseekers and wakes up stripped of her clothes.
284** Inverted by Joy Hill, who strips herself to the waist when she thinks that she's going to be raped by Gendry and Robb, much to their shock and the horror of Dorna, who hides Janei's eyes.
285* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' when [[spoiler:a Red Priest appears in Jon Snow's fireplace and proclaims him Azor Ahai.]]
286* ShutUpHannibal: Jon gives a series of them to Janos Slynt before executing him: that he is guilty of his crimes, the [[EnemyMine alliance with the wildlings is necessary because of the White Walkers]], and that [[JudgeJuryAndExecutioner he, Jon, will execute Slynt.]]
287* SkewedPriorities: Cersei is more concerned about Margaery then she is about Gendry despite the latter waging war on her family and the former being a member of a house that is allied to the Lannisters.
288* SlashedThroat: The fates of [[spoiler:Daenerys Targaryen and Barristan Selmy.]]
289* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Gender-inverted when [[spoiler:Mance and Val reveal that Ygritte gave birth to Jon's son before she died.]]

293* TranslatorBuddy: Illeo serves as this for Kajaevvo, translating whatever he says into Common Tongue.
294* TraumaCongaLine: The entire story is this for Daenerys. [[spoiler: In her first chapter the slave masters retake control of Mereen and Dany is captured and imprisoned by them. Then she is paraded through the city naked and in chains (though she manages to maintain her composure) before being whipped and forced to watch as one of her handmaidens Jhiqui is hanged. Then Irri her other handmaiden is hanged and she has to beg her jailer to give her a decent funeral. Things start to look up as at her own execution Drogon sweeps in to save her just as she was about to be beheaded and she meets up with her surviving followers. But of course she goes to Asshai and sees her surviving followers killed by Melisandre before being murdered herself with her last thoughts apologizing to her family on how she failed them all.]] This fic was not kind to Dany.
295* UnwittingPawn: Mace Tyrell taking his armies to face the Baratheon's opponents leaves an opening for Cersei to [[spoiler:have Margaery kidnapped off the streets of King's Landing.]]
296* WalkingArmory: The Silent Warrior has three weapons: a short sword, a knife, and a third weapon. [[spoiler:The third weapon is Needle.]]
297* WhamEpisode: Chapter 22. [[spoiler:The Night King appears and Ygritte sacrifices herself for Jon. Jon, after a brief duel, escapes to the wall, where Mance and Val reveal that Ygritte gave birth to Jon's son before she died.]]

342* FinalBattle: Two; one at King's Landing where Gendry, Robb and Davos lead their armies to take the city and Jon at the Wall against the White Walkers.
343* {{Foil}}:
344** Arya to Cersei. One could say that Arya becomes everything Cersei wanted; to be a fighter and queen, with a husband that cares for her and gives her power.

385-->"Men, women... everyone. I won't lie to you, we have a dangerous and potentially deadly task ahead of us. We are outnumbered, our enemies are resistant to most weapons, we know their weaknesses but must be cautious in how we use them. However, I have faith in each and every one of you. Many of us have been reviled by society, many branded fairly and unfairly, as criminals. Given no other choice but to take the Black, or face death. Others are reviled for their blood... baseborn, not all of us had the fortune to be raised in a castle, with relative acceptance I know that. But my fellow bastards there is still kinship between us. One thing that we, the Free Folk... that all of us share in common, is we are people, like any other. We are the last line of true defense, if we fall, everything on the other side of the Wall, is doomed. Right now, many of us have families or friends in the south, some of them even involved in the war that is currently raging there now. Shall we leave them defenseless?
