“They whispered of Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, deadliest of the seven knights of Aerys’s Kingsguard and of how their young lord has slain him in single combat. And they told how afterward Ned had carried Ser Arthur’s sword back to the beautiful young sister who awaited him in a castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea. The lady Ashara Dayne, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes.”

“Lady Ashara Dayne. It's an old tale, that one. I heard it once at Winterfell, when I was no older than you are now. I doubt there's any truth to it. But if there is, what of it? When Ned met this Dornish lady, his brother Brandon was still alive, and it was him betrothed to Lady Catelyn, so there's no stain on your father's honor. There's nought like a tourney to make the blood run hot, so maybe some words were whispered in a tent of a night, who can say? Words or kisses, maybe more, but where's the harm in that? Spring had come, or so they thought, and neither one of them was pledged.”
Harwin, Arya VIII, A Storm of Swords

Discord for ASOIAF Fans
Hey :)
So my writing partners and I made a discord server for ASOIAF Fans.
It has its normal Off-Topic area but also a ASOIAF area for chat, theories, art and memes. We also created dedicated channels for the main houses.
Besides that it has a Fanfiction area for readers and authors. You can post prompts, ideas and recommend fics. As author you can also promote your fic/art and meet other authors, maybe you find also a partner for a project.
The server also has an area for our group project "Of Kingdoms & Crown" if you're interested.
NSFW area is also there.
If you're interested you can join our discord server here:
Tales from the Old Gods
If you have questions you can send me a message :)

i still remain of the opinion that having an answer one way or the other about aegon is really boring and it’s purposefully going to be left ambiguous which doesn’t mean he’s a blackfyre but it also doesn’t mean he’s not a blackfyre and i think the pro blackfyre people are going to assume this means it’s ~canon~ even tho there’s also like plenty of evidence he Is in fact who he says he is too and i’m gonna be so annoyed by the discourse even tho i’m gonna agree george did the best thing by being vague about it and being vague about it is in fact more interesting than an explicit answer on him being real unlike what i think the anti blackfyre people want akskdj

@dcviline asked: ❛ i want to make this last . ❜ (ned @ ashara)
"Is this how northern men tease their women? Leave them hot and bothered?" Desire runs through her, warm blooded as Dorne itself, she is met with a man who takes his time to taste her and take her. His mouth is warm against her skin, the way he simply removed one of her sleeves and one of her breast slips out of place and now his mouth is attached there, to his tongue, as a man craving thirst. In their little hideout in Harrenhal, Ned had grown in confidence, each time, he seems less quick to take her, and more eager to savour every moment. Ashara undoes the side of her long skirt, thankful that her clothes allowed for quick dischargement, to reveal herself to him. Her hand never leaving his own as she moves them toward the bed.
"You made me wait all day, Ned. I felt your gaze on me during the entire dance." As she danced with those kingsguards and Ser Barristan and even Prince Oberyn offer her a dance but her eyes remain on Ned during the entire time. She had felt warm during the entire time as she danced, the awareness that those grey eyes were on her and would catch her in the night, had made her weak. If he touched her down her smallclothes he would see she was aching for him. "We have all night, Ned. We can do this again and again." She smiles against his ear, kissing the inside of his neck as she whispers. "I want to wake up in the morning and be reminded of you."

The Others are just trying to save the world from the toxic shipping wars the North is always having. It is why Arya is the one that is going to defeat them with her a epic call out post.
Arya is training with the faceless men to be able to make the most epic and ruthless call out post the north has ever seen. Her Harrenhal arc was her making research about what could have happened with Ned and Ashara during the tourney, she found nothing and therefore it strengthened her belief in nedcat supremacy

Hey bestie, do you feel any spice for the Ned/Ashara implication? Dour northman manlet vis the literal most beautiful woman alive?? Like hello? The drama the mystique
not personally im sorry 😭 i imprinted on ashara when i was 14 reading the series for the first time (i wrote ashara dayne x female oc fanfiction.) and now gay ashara is in my head and will never leave. i like analysing how she's mythologised and how women are mythologised by men but i dont like it in a positive way lol, so i dont actively ship nedshara. and also im a howland x ashara warrior <3 all love to the nedsharas though unless theyre catelyn-hating redditors in which case kys

In a modern AU where Ashara is alive, Ned would never be with Catelyn.
Just saying.

will you ever post more little stories from crusader kings like the nedshara post
Been a little while since I played either Crusader Kings 2 or 3 but when I do start playing it again after they fix the game I will make sure to post some of the funny stuff that happens in it. For now, I will leave you with a screenshot of the time Ned and Cat had a child together.
Also They weren't married, and she gave birth during Ned's wedding to some woman who wasn't Cat. I feel a little bad for Brandon.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ashara Dayne/Ned Stark, Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen
Characters: Ned Stark, Ashara Dayne, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen
Summary: The Tourney at Harrenhal was just the beginning for Ned Stark and Ashara Dayne. Robert's Rebellion was far from the end. The Quiet Wolf fell in love with a maid with laughing purple eyes. This is their song. This is their legacy. This is their tragedy.
For @tomakeitbeautifultolive (who made the beautiful moodboard for her own fic present lol).
Excerpt:
Winterfell- 284 AC
“My lord,” Maester Luwin said as he knocked on the open door of Eddard Stark’s chambers.
“Come in, Maester Luwin,” Ned replied as he stripped off his riding gear. Summer had finally come to Westeros and the afternoon ride had made him hot.
“A raven delivered this letter this afternoon. I believe it’s from the Hand of the King.”
Jon Arryn, Ned thought, pressing a damp cloth to the back of his neck. The last he had heard from the man who was like a second father to him he was preparing to leave King’s Landing for Dorne, to return the bones of the slain prince, Lewyn Martell. He held his hand out for the letter and broke open the seal.
Ned,
I’ve recently returned to King’s Landing from Dorne after brokering a tenuous peace with Doran Martell, thought if it were up to his younger, brasher, brother Oberyn there would be none. It is my sincerest hope that our kingdom can now begin to heal itself of the grievous and deep wounds inflicted upon it.
The Star amongst the Sun has given birth to a beautiful, silver-haired daughter with eyes of the palest violet. They almost appear grey. She has been named Alyssa and will be raised alongside the children who frequent the Water Gardens. All is as it should be. All is as it must be.
For the Realm,
Jon Arryn, Hand of the King
Ned took the letter and committed every word to memory before setting it aflame and dropping it into the hearth. The fire licked over the parchment until it was little more than ash, consuming the letter and the secrets it contained.
XXXXX
Kingswood- After the Sack of King’s Landing- 283 AC
They were dead. All of them. Rhaegar on the Trident. Aerys near his throne. Elia and her children...all of them, save for the Queen and Prince Viserys. King’s Landing had smelt of fire, shit, and death, but somehow she had survived.
The Mad King would not allow her to flee to Starfall, just as he would not allow Elia and her children to flee to Dragonstone with the Queen. He believed the Dornish had betrayed Rhaegar on the Trident, but she felt like her punishment had been more personal. A punishment for being close to Eddard Stark. Aerys could not have the Lord of Winterfell’s head on a spike, so he would hurt those closest to him.
If only he had known how close, Ashara thought as she looked over to Ned.
Read the rest on AO3!
