LORDS OF WINTERFELL + THEIR BASTARD SIBING - Torrhen Stark & Brandon Snow

To say that Torrhen Stark's decision to bend the knee to Aegon I was an unpopular one was an understatment. The king had ruled for nearly twenty years by that point and had maintained a rare tenure of peace and agricultural prosperity before the arrival of the Targaryen invaders. But while the decision to give up his crown may have saved the lives of the people of the North, it cost him the respect of his sons, his lords, and his brother, Brandon Snow.

Brandon was nearly a decade younger than the king, only just older than Torrhen's sons. The two had been close all their lives, as Brandon was raised within the royal Stark family amicably. He was trained as a warrior, one of the finest archers of the land. And he was bold, too. But like the rest of the North, Brandon held on to his grudges. It would be many months before Brandon spoke to Torrhen again after bending the knee to Aegon, and many more years before he considered forgiving his elder brother.

Torrhen prevented Brandon from trying to kill the dragons of Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya. Before departing Winterfell, Brandon carved three arrows. He prayed over them, willed the power of the Old Gods to guide them true and slay the beasts. But Torrhen forbade him from using them. They argued and raged at each other before finally Brandon agreed to treat with Aegon, but left his bow behind. By the next morning, Torrhen handed his crown to the conqueror and Brandon spat at his feet.

It was not that Torrhen did not believe his brother could accomplish his mission, and for many years after it haunted him that perhaps he should have let the boy try. But he knew that Brandon would die a martyr in the attempt. Perhaps it as his selfishness to not see his brother, and eventually his sons to die pointless deaths. In the attempt to find a peace, he lost his brother's respect, and his sons struggled to even look at him. Brandon lived in his rage; anger at Torrhen's cowardice, anger at himself for listening to him. But Brandon could not fathom a king's responsability to his country, and did not bear the weight of it. Perhaps Torrhen was preventing his brother from an inevitable failure that which he would be blamed for. The bastard that could not kill a dragon. He gladly kept Brandon's resentment for the rest of his life, if meant saving him that.

Aegon the Conqueror: marriage is also a way for bringing together houses. (Wiggling his eyebrows.)

Torrhen Stark:...You have two wifes...

Aegon: BUT NO HUSBAND (wiggling eyebrows with more aggression)

Masterlist

When the news of her brother’s submission to the dragon king reached YN, she portrayed no obvious emotion. But inside there was rage and hate. She hated the Targaryen lord who came to her kingdom, winning it not by any true action of strength but by his showing off of his beast. Deeper than her rage though, she had understanding. 

Her brother had to bend the knee for their people, that would make him seem weak but he only ever cared for his people. And she couldn’t truly despise the Targaryen for using his dragon as a means of intimidation, not when she had a large direwolf by her side doing the same. But her frustration snapped when she heard the man would come to her home in Winterfell to determine their terms of fealty. Not wanting some foreign man on a large beast to step on the land of her father. For the sake of her people she would swallow her anger. Many a man whispered that her brother should’ve fought, that he disgraced his name by kneeling, that even his sister would have rather died by the sword. YN knew that truly this was wounded pride and anger that some non first men descendant would rule over them. 

When Torrhen returned from the riverlands, head high, YN was waiting for him in the courtyard. YN’s wolf walking forth to bump her nose against Torrhen’s wolf. As he got off his horse and stood before his sister YN felt tears prickle in her eyes. Relief that her brother was alive, grief that her world was to change, and pity for the impossible situation her brother was placed in. The two hugged tightly, Torrhen let out a few tears into her shoulder as he whispered that he just wanted to keep everyone safe, YN rubbed his back to comfort him. Their reunion was cut short by the sound of a dragon roaring, the monster flew through the air and landed within meters of the castle. Torrhen pulled away to compose himself and YN hardened her expression. 

“Calm yourself YN” He whispered. 

“I will bite my tongue, for if I don’t I will most likely destroy what peace you gained.” YN said with a short temper. Icy tone biting the air. Snowstorm, her wolf, circled back to the woman. “Remain close to me Snowstorm, I’d rather not have a foreign king snatching you like he snatched this land.”

Torrhen sighed, and squeezed her hand for support. The foreign king finally made his way to the pair. He looked just as YN thought he would. Strange. His strange white hair, tall stature, and unnerving violet eyes. He reminded her of the stories of whites her nan would tell her. 

Aegon knew the north would be stubborn against his rule over them, his show of strength needed to be backed up by his terms for the north. He needed the north to know they had knelt. He thought that Visenya would like it here, if she’d visit. The land was fierce like her. When he approached the northern king, his focus shifted to the woman next to him. Her gray eyes, cold looking skin, and black hair was a type of beauty he was unfamiliar with. She was beautiful like the cold spring that shined over snow. But she gave him no kind look, her eyes glared at him, piercing his flesh like daggers. Next to her was a large wolf, almost the size of a horse. 

“Welcome to Winterfell, my… king.” Torrhen said. YN nodded to the new king, but said nothing. Praying to the old gods that she may be graced with patience.

“Thank you, Lord Torrhen. Let us go inside and discuss the terms of your wardenship over the north.” Aegon sounded very kingly, YN would admit that but she’d refuse to sit near him. 

“Of course. YN will you join us?”

“No. I have better things to do.” The woman snapped. 

“Such as, sister?”

“Such as none of your affairs.” With that she stomped away, Aegon watched the back of her hair swish around. 

“Your sister reflects northern ferocity quite well.” 

Torrhen apologetically nodded to the man. As they discussed his wardenship of the north, Torrhen remained as stubborn as he could. He would kneel for the north, but refuse to submit it to the same treatment as the south. Aegon was gracious and strong. Agreeing that the north would not submit to the faith of the seven, their gods were old and sacred. They were not of andal blood and their connection to the land was more important. Torrhen was adamant about the importance of the wall and their truth about winter. The people of the north would have more freedoms than some of the lands but their fealty to the Targaryen king must be absolute. That was what he wanted. Well that and one other thing. 

“Your sister is without a husband?” Aegon asked. “To solidify our agreement, perhaps I could take her as a wife. She would be queen alongside my sisters, and would want for nothing.” 

“I couldn't do that to my sister. I won’t force her into a marriage. She’d hate me, and would despise you.” Torrhen denied. 

“You are her lord, she would do as you say.” 

“The fuck I would.” Both men turned to see a fuming woman. She had only caught the last of their conversation. “You would try to have me as another bride for your inflated ego? Do you not have enough under your thumb?” 

Aegon stood and turned to the girl. “YN.. my lady let me explain.”

“No, you listen to me. You can come to my home, and command us with your massive beast, you can control lands with your fire, but I am of the first men. I worship the old gods and I would never want you. The only feasible way you could have me is kicking and screaming.” YN turned to Torrhen. “So command me then brother. Betray me like you betrayed our kingdom.”

“YN, I would never do that to you.” Torrhen tried to calm her. “But please, calm yourself. He is our lord now and we must-”

“I would not have you if you are unwilling, my lady.” Aegon stated. “I will not force you to wed me, but I wish for our peoples to have a bridge.” 

“I am not an object for you to build anything off of.” YN snapped, her wolf growled behind her. Aegon put his hands up in a sign of good faith. 

“My apologies, my lady.” He bowed his head slightly. “I would respect your wish. But allow me to preach my position to you.”

“Do as you wish, MY KING. I have no authority over you.” YN turned to leave. 

Afterward, Aegon and Torrhen made well in favor. Aegon resolved with Torrhen to write to his sister. At least he would have an honest chance to court her then. Truly he just wanted to apologize for the circumstances for how they met. 

The first couple of letters he had sent were not responded to. He was certain she was burning them. His revsolve almost waned, until one night when a raven was sent, the crest of the starks sealed over it. It was a small thing, no bigger than his finger. But the message sent gave him some joy. His sister, Rhaenys, shared his joy as she was also interested in his story of the cold beauty from the north. Visenya just wanted to meet the woman who stood to a king and told him to piss off. 

The message she had sent was simple and short. 

“I forgive you.”

HOUSE STARK

The Starks trace their descent from Brandon the Builder and the ancient Kings of Winter.

For thousands of years, they ruled from Winterfell as Kings in the North, until Torrhen Stark, the King Who Knelt, chose to swear fealty to Aegon the Dragon rather than give battle.

Their blazon is a grey direwolf on an ice-white field.

The principal houses sworn to Winterfell are Karstark, Umber, Flint, Mormont, Hornwood, Cerwyn, Reed, Manderly, Glover, Tallhart, and Bolton.

The Stark words are Winter Is Coming.

The next morning, Torrhen Stark himself crossed the Trident. There upon the south bank of the Trident, he knelt, laid the ancient crown of the Kings of Winter at Aegon's feet, and swore to be his man. He rose as Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, a king no more. From that day to this day, Torrhen Stark is remembered as the King Who Knelt… but no northman left his burned bones beside the Trident, and the swords Aegon collected from Lord Stark and his vassals were not twisted nor melted nor bent. 

Torrhen Stark kneels to Aegon the Conqueror and his sister-wives!

House Stark, but the kids had past lives as former Stark members. Like one day they are just their usual selves and then BOOM! Suddenly, their former lives flash before their eyes!

Imagine

Robb- Brandon Snow

Sansa- Cregan Stark

Bran- Bran the Builder

Arya- Lyarra Stark (Ned & sib's mother)

Rickon- Theon the Hungry Wolf

Robb/Brandon finally having the Stark name but also the responsibility. The only downside to it is that it kinda makes a rift between his own mother and him as in another life, he was a bastard. And you know how Catelyn treats Jon... With Sansa/Cregan it's because Cregan is known for the hour of the Wolf and with Sansa's history in the South that would make something interesting, along with Cregan going through womanhood. Bran² well... it would be interesting for Bran² to meet Bloodraven and imagine his surprise when he realizes Bran is also the Builder. Arya was kind of a tough one as there is not a lot of history about the women of House Stark besides a Sara Snow, so I decided to use the kid's grandmother as I always felt Lyarra Stark was a true Northern woman and she would probably raise hell at seeing a Sept in Winterfell. Also the thought of Ned Stark getting a verbal ass kicking from his mother, who is reborn as his daughter is kind of funny. Rickon, well it's almost canon to book readers that Rickon is practically a feral child, a little wildling. So imagine him being Theon the Hungry Wolf. Like imagine a pissed off three year old just shouting in anger throughout the keep "IM A FUCKING ANDAL?!?!?!"

Jon- Torrhen Stark/ some targaryen ancestor

Okay now listen,Jon was really hard to decide who he would be and at first, I was going to put him as Brandon Snow but thought it would be more dramatic to be the King who Knelt. But then I also had this idea of Valyrian magic having its dirty way and also combining a past Targaryen member and not just any boring male Targ, no, a FEMALE Targ. And not the stereotypical reborn Visenya/Rhaenys/Rhaenyra trope but the most unassuming female Targaryen like the Good Queen Alysanne or Naerys Targaryen. Two women who were Queens who suffered losses in their life and were born women to add to the suffering, but now they are reborn in a the body of a male. Their new body is strong(Naerys, who was also a frail woman) and they won't be held back by the rules that society has placed on women(Alysanne) even if they are disguised as a bastard.

Now this could change the outcome, even a tiny bit as it is now children with past lives as people who had experiences already but also its Stark ancestors learning or experiencing different things from their time; Cregan being a female now, Brandon being a trueborn Stark heir, Theon being part Andal with a Sept in Winterfell, The Builder seeing what had become of his descendants, Torrhen/F!Targ seeing what had become of their descendants as well but also wondering were everything went wrong, and Lyarra dealing with her dead husband and son, who died viciously, a daughter who died the same way she did and two living sons not being as close as a pack should be. Watching as her second son, who was not prepared to be the Warden of the North, rule Winterfell.

AND FOR LYNA AND CREGAN

Um, yes I love their family so much!!!

Okay, so I may have gotten a bit carried away here...I did two lol, but I love this family so much!!!

Name: Lyarra Stark

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Pulled the Stark looks one hundred percent. Longer face, darker brown hair, grey eyes

Personality: Lyna is much more Stark than Hightower. Very stubborn. As a kid, she would always race after her older siblings wanting to play with them and when they would brush her off she would go and sulk somewhere. As she grew she read a lot and grew into a mindful woman. She is very kind and sweet, although that can turn on a dime. Enjoys sassing people, especially the Southerners. Gives their stuck-up, and self-important attitude right back at them.

Special Talents: Really good at climbing trees.

Who they like better: Cregan

Who they take after more: Cregan

Personal Headcanon(s):

Inherited Cregan's poker face. Is always internally judging people. When she was little she used to kick people when she was annoyed with them. Kicked Otto right in the shin once and almost made him fall over. Speaks her mind, especially if she knows it will annoy people.

Face Claim:

Name: Torrhen Stark

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Average height if not on the taller side. He is not as dark as the rest of his siblings and carries more of the Hightower light brown coloring. Facial features he gets from Cregan. Eye color and hair he gets from Lynesse.

Personality: Torrhen always has a lot of energy, although as he grew he learned how to manage that energy better instead of just wreaking havoc. He puts a lot of time into training, sword, archery, and riding. He always needs to be active and have an outlet for his energy or else he can get crabby. Always admired his older brother, although he didn't want to be just like him, but wanted to be someone Lyaren could depend on as a brother. He is very considerate and has a big heart, people usually just see him as a second son with a lot of energy.

Special Talents: Really really good at archery

Who they like better: Lynesse

Who they take after more: Lynesse

Personal Headcanon:

As a kid, Torrhen could not sit still. He always had to be moving, and just gave his parents a run for their money with his complete lack of spacial awareness and always wanting to run very very fast. Has run into, walls, corners, and Cregan on several occasions. One time when Torrhen was about...five he followed Cregan around for the entire day and just copied whatever his father said in the deepest voice he could muster. Looks more like a Hightower, or is at least told this, and as an adult, he really hates that.

Stark wank fics, be like

After the brutal, unnecessary slaughter of the red Grassfield, (they meant field of fire) the evil aegon “the sisterfucker” Targaryen and his Dragon Balerion “ the big fat wimp ” were single-handedly, defeated by  Torrhen “chad wolf also known as based wolf “ Stark who didn’t have to use his entire army of well trained soldiers, or giants or unicorns even though he totally could, and would’ve won anyway  to defeat him here on after begin the start of a new calendar known as  T.W(Torrhen win)

Proceeds to explain Theon Stark was super based and totally not evil for killing all the Andals baby . Probably   Visenya Targaryen Rhaenys Targaryen married off to a third starks son either has this framed as something positive, or makes a joke about having unhealthy it is and how the Targaryen‘s deserve it
