The Stranger's Road - part 1
Title: The Stranger's Road - part 1
Author: oparu
Artist: staringiscaring
Genre: mostly het with hints of femslash
Pairings/Characters: Catelyn/Ned, Catelyn/Brandon, Catelyn/Lyanna if you squint.
Rating: PG-13
Warnings/Spoilers: none, AU
Summary:Matriarchal AU set during Lyanna Stark's rebellion against Queen Rhaella on Iron Throne. At the Tournament of Harrenhal, Brandon Stark is crowned King of Love and Beauty and disappears with the champion, Princess Rhaegara Targaryen. Lady Stark, the warden of the North, rides south to ask for the return of her son and is killed, along with her son, Brandon Stark, Catelyn's betrothed. When the queen asks Lady Arryn for the heads of Catelyn and Lyanna, Lady Arryn refuses, tearing the queendom apart.
Notes: This was terribly hard and great fun at the same time. I loved making up the words for a matriarchy, and wondering what that kind of society would be like. This story kept getting more complicated, so I made it two parts.
Many thanks to Eena for being so patient and staringiscaring for the mix! I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
