A Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire Fanfiction
***
Summary
Though it had been a near thing indeed, by the will of the gods, Lyanna Stark survived bringing her son Jaehaerys into the world.
Only to learn that the family she had chosen, the man and woman both that she had grown to love, had been brutally cut down and slaughtered by a man claiming to have done it in her honour.
But Robert Baratheon had forgotten that Lyanna was every bit a wolf as the sigil of House Stark proclaimed, and he was responsible for destroying her pack.
And so she swore vengeance.
Because the North Remembers, and Lyanna will never forget.

Again, this one may end up as a One-Shot, or it may grow into a multi-chpater fic. I haven't decided yet. It's another instance of 'we'll see' but it's looking likely.
The summary pretty much says it all, though. How it's going to play out, whether it'll take place immediately after Robert's Rebellion or whether Lyanna will bide her time, is also undecided at this point.
Oh, and my brain has decided that Oberyn's going to play a fairly significant role....and ultimately pair with Lyanna. So yeah. CX

Excerpt
"He's your boy," Maege stated definitively, waving off the sudden panic in Lyanna's wide eyes. "One mother can usually tell another. And a woman in my position can't afford not to use my eyes. I can see it in the way you watch him. He's certainly not Brandon's bastard nor Ned's, no matter what your Lord brother would have us all believe."
"Is it that plain," Lyanna rasped out, a lump of fear threatening to strangle her. Maege shot her a sympathetic look.
"Men are idiots," she dismissed, taking a drink, "and most are blind to things right in front of their faces. Especially when it comes to women and to the secrets of motherhood," she said with a pointed look. "Besides," the older woman added with a shrug, "Lord Stark told them the boy is his by-blow. They won't even think to question it." Lyanna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
