WESTEROS AUS: DIVERGENCES FROM CANON AND CONNECTIONS

WESTEROS AUS: DIVERGENCES FROM CANON AND CONNECTIONS

• The Baratheon Saga: Characters live in Imperial Prussia during the Belle Époque or Progressive Era. Everything, or nearly everything, follows canon while staying in this era of change and progress.
• The Tales of Septa Poppine/The Queen Beyond the Wall: Usual Westeros. The Night's Queen is still alive. The Lannister children are inspired by an eccentric septa. Jaime is squired at Evenfall Hall, then spirited away by the Night's Queen. Brienne goes to seek him north of the Wall, in a series of adventures inspired by Andersen's epic tale.
• Moonrise by Sunset: Steampunk/clockpunk Westeros. Brienne was orphaned as an infant and raised with the Stark daughters, Sansa and Arya. Maggy the Frog is a soothsayer with real powers. There is conflict reminiscent of both the Thirty Years' War and Napoleonic Wars.
• Come Undone: Steampunk/Regency Westeros. Brienne was orphaned at an early age and fostered in Storm's End. War between the Westerlands and the rest of Westeros (reminiscent of Napoleonic Wars, with Tywin as Napoleon), the Vale and Dorne remaining neutral.
• My Fair Warrior: Clockpunk Westeros. Uchronia hinge: Robert killed by Rhaegar at the Trident (due to intoxication), Aerys died of a stroke, war won by royalists (though Stannis and Renly still got Dragonstone and Storm's End, respectively). Dornish law imposed: Rhaenys heir to the throne and then first titular queen of Westeros. Lannisters in decadence. Littlefinger as Baratheon advisor, courting the naturally widowed (due to an accident on the Wall) Catelyn Stark while holding her only daughter Sansa hostage.
• Game of Wands Saga: Everyone in Westeros studied or studies at Hogwarts, Beauxbâtons, or Durmstrang. Crossover with other series of young adult fantasy literature.
• War Without Tears: Westeros hosts Hunger Games in a ruined fort on the Wall. The number of tribute dwindles gradually, like the murder victims in any good Christie story.

These are the ways in which my major Westeros plots diverge and intersect with the canonical aspects of the 'verse. Bear in mind that The Tales of Septa Poppine is a prequel to The Queen Beyond the Wall.
