An A Song of Ice and Fire fanfic written by MarshalofMontival on the Fandom AH section of AH.com. It can be viewed here, and also on FanFiction.Net here.The story is an AU diverging at the start of Robert's Rebellion. The turning point is Rickard Stark, Eddard Stark's father, rather than riding to King's Landing to face Aerys, instead rallying his allies to lead an army to demand justice from the royal family.The story was inspired by Summer Crowns by DubiousScrivener. Making it a fanfic of a fanfic in many ways. This has caused issues at times with the story coming too close to its inspiration. But as the stories have grown apart in various ways that problem seems to have passed.While the Rebellion ends much sooner than in canon or Summer Crowns, the premise of Rhaegar escaping to Essos remains the same.The story has a good deal of character development and world building, the two often going hand in hand with the characters having to deal with new circumstances. It's also notable for not shying from the brutality of and nuance of medieval warfare and slavery. At the same time, its tone is somewhat more hopeful and optimistic than its inspiration.The story unexpectedly ended with a final chapter of the narrative on October 23, 2022, though there will be several appendices posted at a later date to finish Worldbuilding and filling out the timeline.

Conflicting Loyalties: Barristan is very disturbed by how the Targaryen court-in-exile has descended into enforcing slavery, seeing it as ungodly and a violation of his vow to protect the innocent... but at the same time he can't bring himself to break his other vow to obey his king without question.

The Spymaster
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_133f1c12
comment
The Spymaster: Gerion serves as Master of Whispers for Robert, and seems to continue in that capacity even after replacing Ned as Hand. With the High Turnover Rate of Westeros' Master of Whispers, and with their ambassador to Braavos being rather laidback, Owen Merryweather's position as emissary to Braavos-occupied Pentos makes him de facto chief spy for Stannis' court in Essos. Donys Rahtheon serves as this, and Master of Coin, for the Targaryen exile court. Lady Shipwright sets up her own private spy network, composed of her former associates from when they were all pleasure slaves, for the sake of furthering her newfound noble house's status. To combat foreign espionage, Gerion and the Blackfish merge resources to create the Office of Foreign Intrigue, with the Special Branch (aka medieval black ops unit) of it being headed by Baelish.

Robert gets hit with it again after after the Battle of Narrow Run. He realizes that a good deal of Ned's Heroic BSoD is due to him delegating too much to his friend who has gone through even more than him in recent years.

The Exile
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_1b8c7503
comment
The Exile: For breaking his Kingsguard oath by killing Aerys, Jaime is exiled from Westeros for seven years, to be served in the Sunset Company. At the end of that time, he ultimately chooses to stay in Myr, to Tywin's outrage. At the end of the story, Renly and the key members of his coup against Cersei voluntarily go into exile outside Westeros at Lyonel's command, until such time as Tywin can no longer enact revenge. To secure Brandon's rule, Ned is forced to accept that he can never return to the North alive. Essos is awash with exiled warriors who chose to flee Westeros rather then submit to Stannis's rule after he crushed their rebellions, including Dornishmen, Ironborn and even a few survivors of the Upper Mander rebellion. Some sign on with the Kingdom of Myr whilst others join the Targaryens. At the end of the Fourth Slave War, the Tattered Prince and his men cut a deal with the Abolitionists to go into exile in neutral Lorath instead of facing death or imprisonment, in exchange for helping liberate Norvos from the reactionaries. According to an offhand comment by Gerold Dayne in one of the Appendices, at some point during the reign of Robert's son Durran, Jaime got exiled again for unspecified reasons.

The Order
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_1c169242
comment
The Order: Upon becoming king, Stannis creates a few of these. With the exception of the first, he adds the title of Grand Master of each to the list of hereditary titles held by the King on the Iron Throne. The Royal Order of the Storm, the replacement for the Kingsguard. The Royal Order of the Sun, a standing army designed to enforce royal authority in Dorne following the Red Viper Rebellion. The Royal Order of the Knights of the Crown, a standing army for the Crownlands, members of which also serve as marines in the royal fleet. The Order of the Sea, which is set up to help manage the Iron Islands after their rebellion is crushed. A non-Stannis example: After the schism in the Faith between the traditionalists in the Great Sept of Baelor and the Myr-based reformists led by Septon Jonothor, the Order of the Sunset is founded as a fraternal organization for Baelorite knights living in the Kingdom of Myr. The Jonothorans, meanwhile, found the Knights of the First Sept of Myr to serve the same purpose for themselves. The Brotherhood of the Broken Chain is established to serve as the Kingdom of Myr's Praetorian Guard. Unlike the Kingsguard they're not expected to serve for life or renounce having families, but they are expected to protect the royal family with fanatical devotion.

The Purge: When the Ironborn's rebellion is crushed, all but the few loyalist Houses have virtually all their men killed in battle or executed afterwards. After Volantis brings Mantarys to heel, the city's warlocks and the monsters they bred are all killed in moral outrage.

Royals Who Actually Do Something
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_1edfa2c7
comment
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Robert and Stannis are kings who both lead forces in war. Stannis is also a far more engaged king than Robert was in canon. Apparently he is building roads in the Crownlands and demolishes the Dragonpit to have a royal garden built. Viserys, even lacking a kingdom, strives to be this; even if he can do little but stand behind a battle line and be seen right now.

Obstructive Bureaucrat: While Norvos is ruled by its priests, it's actually administered by a byzantine arrangement of councils and committees with a complex checks-and-balances system which means that it usually takes forever to get anything done.

Praetorian Guard: Stannis replaces the defunct Kingsguard with the Order of the Storm (or "Stormguard" for short), which has the same duties but more expanded ranks. The Brotherhood of the Broken Chain serves as this to Robert.

Engineered Heroics: Donys incites a slave rebellion in Volantis, and ensures that all other forces that can deal with it are neutralized, so that Viserys can lead the Exile Company in saving the city. All in order to make Viserys beloved by the populace and give him leverage into joining the city's political leadership.

Even Evil Has Standards: Daario at the Battle of Tara, despite being horrified and having a chance to escape, refuses to abandon his brothers in arms. We get POV from a minor Myrish aristocrat, who shows that on the surface at least, cruelty to slaves is frowned upon. Apparently the rules are far looser in the countryside though.

Out-Gambitted: During the Greyjoy Rebellion, Balon has his forces pull back from Fair Isle enough to draw the royal forces into invading the island to take on the token force holding it, so that the Iron Fleet can then return and destroy the royal fleet to strand the army there... all of which Euron and Stannis see coming, so after initially invading the island they return their forces to the ships under cover of darkness, leaving them at full strength when the Ironborn attack, giving the royals the upper hand. Bloodraven foresees Euron's Long Game and arranges events to have him killed during the above-mentioned battle at Fair Isle.

Defector from Decadence: The group of Ironborn under Harras Harlaw grow disgusted with Balon's leadership (especially the restoration of thralldom), so they not only leave the Iron Islands but side with the Iron Throne against his rebellion. After the Night of Flames, many of the pirates that the Tyroshi hired to defend their harbor grow disgusted with their brutality; any that don't desert defect over to the Abolitionists.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: The battle outside Pentos between the Sunset Company and the Pentoshi nobility. The Sunset Company have six and half thousand armoured knights, veteran infantry and Ironborn reavers. The outnumbered Pentoshi have unblooded and untrained nobles, unarmoured sellswords and disloyal slave infantry. It was less a battle and more like a hunt. The Battle of Narrow Run between Khal Zirquo's 11,000 strong Dothraki khalasar and Ned Stark's Myrish army made up of knights, Westerosi longbowmen and most importantly, the highly disciplined and trained Iron Legion. The Myrish lost twelve knights and 278 legionaries killed with twice as many wounded. The Dothraki? Six thousand dead with another thousand too wounded to fight. Amongst the dead were all of Khal Zirquo's sons, bloodriders, most of his Kos and Khal Zirquo himself. With hundreds deserting in shame after the battle, Khal Zirquo's khalasar was not just defeated, it ceased to exist. The battle of Tickclose Field rivals Culloden for the sad massacre that Stannis inflicts on the Reach's minor nobility. Despite being outnumbered at least three to one, the Reachmen knights charge home believing their cause was just and that the Seven would help secure their victory over the Tyrant Stannis; only they charged too far away from their infantry and archers. Most of them are cut down by Stannis's crossbowmen and spearmen, with their infantry giving up and running for the hills. Khal Drogo's horde vs the Confederation of the Darkwash, which ends with the Dothraki wiping out every village in the region.

Adaptational Heroism
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: Euron Greyjoy is far from the psychotic reaver of canon, instead being one of Stannis' most stalwart and loyal allies. Subverted, as it turns out that he's playing a Long Game to take the Iron Throne for himself. Likewise Vicatarion, who in canon was little more than The Dragon to Balon and later a thug for Euron. Here, he's one of the great heroes of the Abolitionist Alliance. Instead of being a self-aggrandizing fool who would kill an innocent child on a whim, Gerold Dayne here has entered into Ned's service for the chance to restore his family's honor by killing Arthur and reclaiming Dawn from his fouled hands. Four years of drudge work in and around Myr has done little to curb his self-importance, however. Petyr Baelish avoids his canon role of throwing a kingdom into chaos out of hatred. He instead took the opportunity to join the Kingdom of Myr, first as a civilian administrator before becoming a secret agent for its newly-formed intelligence service. Instead of a vain traitor who stabbed his brother in the back for the sake of power, Renly is every bit loyal to his brother and his family; so loyal in fact he risks being exiled or even being executed to protect his nephew's accession because he doesn't trust Cersei.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Upon bumping into Jaime in the Summer Islands, Urrigon Greyjoy challenges him to a duel in order to avenge Tywin's acts against the Iron Islands. Cut to Jaime some time later, ruminating on how quick the duel was. Wendel Manderly contracts a tropical disease while visiting the Summer Islands and dies offscreen. Gerion Lannister is assassinated offscreen by Stallen Naerolis when the latter gets a lucky break and spots him during a rare moment of low personality security. Owen Merryweather and Khal Drogo both die during the Battle of Haven, but neither death is shown in detail, simply being mentioned in passing by the narration. Yohn Royce is killed during an offscreen ambush by the Mountain Clans.

Ned Stark's body disappears after he dies in the Second Battle of Ghoyan Drohe, carried away by the river he dies in and never being recovered. This leads to the In-Universe myth being born that He's Just Hiding.

 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_52488c54
comment
Drowning My Sorrows: The Watch commander of Gulltown is doing this when Harry Flash arrives to investigate the Old Faith situation in the Vale, due to Denys Arryn's heavy-handed attempt to stomp out the movement only leading to widespread unrest and a burgeoning potential Civil War. Jaime spends some time on the Summer Islands doing this in light of how his life has spiraled ever since renouncing his inheritance. It lasts until a local priest smacks some sense into him and offers to help him redeem himself.

High Priest: After Jonothor's faction of those who schism from the main Faith organize themselves properly, they appoint him to the position of First Septon. The Old Faith abhor hierarchy, with their only real leadership being a general assembly of representations from each of their congregations. However, in Essos at least, Septon Deryk has enough influence to act as first among equals.

Divided We Fall: Any hope that the remnants of the Grand Army had of escaping from Ghoyan Drohe intact falls apart due to its internal factionalism — the Tattered Prince's mercenaries (most of the Grand Army's remaining cavalry) desert and flee, while the Volantene Militia and the Exile Company turn on each other when the Militia realizes that the Company is planning on using them as a diversion to cover their own escape.

Reassigned to Antarctica: Gerold Arryn serves as Master of Whispers for the first few years of Stannis' reign, but after failing to see the Red Viper Rebellion coming he's dismissed and sent back to the Vale to head up law enforcement in Gulltown. And when he screws that up with heavy-handed policies that nearly lead to revolt, he's sent off in quasi-exile to fight the mountain clans. For sleeping with an Old Faith member while undercover, and therefore making himself of questionable loyalty in the eyes of some, Ser Harry Flash is assigned to temporarily join the Order of the Sea in the Iron Islands.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Rhaegar gets his Berserk Button pushed by the sight of Lannister banners because of what happened to his wife and children. The two members of the Myrish Remnant we meet hate the Kingdom of Myr because of the deaths of their loved ones in the fall of Myr and the war leading up to it. Euron Greyjoy, who isn't quite as bad as in canon, fondly remembers his father and despises Balon for ruining the man's life work with his rebellion. Also, there's the matter of Balon possibly being responsible for the deaths of their stepmother and half-brother, which Euron is disgusted by.

Jerkass Has a Point: Walder Frey is still his usual pleasant self, but he does truthfully point out to Harry Flash that the fragile peace between the various religious factions in Westeros is only being held together by Stannis' iron will. As Walder points out, once he's gone and his son Lyonel (whom an increasingly fanatical Cersei has more influence than Stannis over) has taken the throne, things are bound to explode. It’s implied at the end that Walder’s prediction ends up being less accurate than it had any right to be, partially thanks to Lyonel’s close friendship with Theon Greyjoy, but it is mentioned in passing that tensions do boil over to some degree.

Private Military Contractors: Sellsword companies initially make up the bulk of the Slaver forces. Some adapt, others don't. The Company of the Rose is nearly wiped out during the battle of Pentos. Afterwards, the survivors switch sides and take a contract with Braavos, training the city guard of the new Braavosi ruled Pentos. The Golden Company join up with the Targaryen exiles after they take power in Volantis.

Adaptational Badass
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_736d791f
comment
Adaptational Badass: Thanks to being raised and trained by Arthur Dayne and Barristan Selmy, Viserys is an actual Targaryen warrior rather than a wannabe. Robert is every inch the solid, chivalrous, heroic badass twenty years after the rebellion instead of the drunken slob he degenerated to in canon. He is also a much more engaged and intelligent king then in canon, taking it upon himself to improve as a statesman after being forced to suffer an lopsided peace deal due to his ignorance. In canon, Ned was described as a mediocre swordsman who was better at commanding troops then fighting. Here, constant, relentless training means Ned has graduated to a level of mastery he wouldn't achieve in canon. Justified, as Ned was driven to improve his skills after badly losing a duel with Arthur Dayne, despite having Jaime Lannister backing him up. They only survived because Arthur's side was losing the battle and he was forced to retreat. Downplayed with Samwell Tarly, but he possesses a little more skill with a blade as he was trained by one of Willas Tyrell's masters-at-arms (one specifically picked for his patience) instead of his father. He is still middling at best and but in battle he can at least defend himself. He also gets a chance to display his talent for logistics and politics, managing the Eastern Expeditions' supplies. Theon Greyjoy was already a capable fighter and an excellent archer in canon. Here, he is a veritable One-Man Army.

The Watch commander of Gulltown is doing this when Harry Flash arrives to investigate the Old Faith situation in the Vale, due to Denys Arryn's heavy-handed attempt to stomp out the movement only leading to widespread unrest and a burgeoning potential Civil War.

Didn't Think This Through: Aside from all the other consequences that he couldn't have anticipated, Jaime's decision to abandon his inheritance in Westeros means that Myr has lost his potential as their greatest and most influential supporter in the Seven Kingdoms.

Dragon with an Agenda: Euron is playing loyal servant to Stannis in order to position himself as a replacement as Hand when Jon Arryn retires, and from there set himself to become regent for Stannis' children upon eliminating him, then marrying one of his daughters when they come of age and taking the Iron Throne for himself.

Please Select New City Name: After Tyrosh is sacked by the Abolitionist Alliance and annexed by Braavos, the latter rename it Martyros. After Balon's Rebellion is crushed and the Iron Islands occupied by the mainland, the city of Lordsport is renamed Euronsport in honor of Euron's loyal service to Stannis and his death during the rebellion and made the headquarters of the Order of the Sea.

comment
Heel Realization: An odd heroic example. After witnessing the horrors of the sex slave industry firsthand in Pentos, Robert seems to be reexamining how he treats women. Even claiming to a disbelieving Ned that he has stuck to a single mistress since Pentos. How far this will go or last remains to be seen. Robert gets hit with it again after after the Battle of Narrow Run. He realizes that a good deal of Ned's Heroic BSoD is due to him delegating too much to his friend who has gone through even more than him in recent years.

Mycan Banderis is officially just the Chief Minister of Norvos' Government in Exile, with the Voice of Noom being the nominal head of state. However, he quickly reduces the Voice to a Puppet King and wields all the real power, and when Norvos itself is liberated from the reactionaries, he rules it effectively as a dictator for a year before other members of the government can arrive to reestablish control.

Defiant to the End: Oberyn Martell plays this straight reportedly at his execution. Brus Buckler is taken prisoner by the Dothraki when they overrun Campora, and offered the chance to live if he orders the remaining defenders to surrender. He refuses, insulting Khal Pobo to his face until the latter kills him in a rage. For daring to act as Stannis' messenger and incidentally inspiring Urrigon to flee with Asha, Balon has Rodrick Harlaw sentenced to death. Rodrick responds by spending the entire sentencing and every moment up to his decapitation snarking, calling Balon a fool, and telling him to just Get It Over With.

comment
Just the First Citizen: At the height of his power while in Myr, Rhaegar effectively rules the city-state, but never styles himself king. Instead, he settles for the titles of Governor of the South and Protector of the City. Viserys eventually becomes King of Volantis in all but name, after being elected to a Triarch seat by huge public approval and granted direct control of all military assets, which grants him greater power than the other two Triarchs. Mycan Banderis is officially just the Chief Minister of Norvos' Government in Exile, with the Voice of Noom being the nominal head of state. However, he quickly reduces the Voice to a Puppet King and wields all the real power, and when Norvos itself is liberated from the reactionaries, he rules it effectively as a dictator for a year before other members of the government can arrive to reestablish control.

Due to the Dead: After Viserys dies and his body ends up in the possession of the abolitionists, some of Robert's commanders suggest chucking the corpse in the river. Septon Deryk instead offers to perform last rites and a proper burial despite having been on opposite sides, viewing it as something everyone deserves. Robert sees his point and lets him do it.

Red Baron: Several, some characters have more than one. Ned is called the Iron Wolf in the Hedgerows and the title gets picked back up in Essos. Jaime earns the title the Black Lion, for the black cape he wears after Tygett dies. Apparently he keeps wearing it for the image. Lyn gets the title Stormcrow. Khal Zirqo is called the Treacherous after he accepted tribute from Braavosi Viceroy in Pentos but still sacked Pentoshi villages. Stannis has been called the Grim and the Sour Stag. Robert wins the prize having three aliases we know of: Robert the Strong, Robert the Brief, and Robert the Bloody. Which one people use tells you a lot about how people view him. Mace Tyrell becomes known as the Merciful for being the least heavy-handed when defeating the rebelling Ironborn. Future texts state that Stannis' son Lyonel will be known as the Magnificent during his reign. After his actions in Balon's Rebellion (including killing Balon himself), Sandor Clegane becomes known as the Mastiff of the West and the Krakenslayer. Arthur Dayne is dubbed Mad Arthur by his enemies. Notably, members of House Dayne also call him this. Davos becomes known as Scar-Cheek after the facial wound he receives at the Battle of Bloodstone.

Dramatic Irony: The mystical plague that Arthur employed to hobble the Westerosi ended up contributing to the Targaryens' defeat. With Stannis dead from said plague, Samwell could not be certain of the intentions Lyonel's court had regarding Myr and a royal missive to Ser Harry had him suspect that part of their goal was to ensure that the Myrish army suffered some significant damage in the conflict so they would not meddle in the ongoing troubles across the sea. Having come to respect Robert during his time in Essos, this leads him to order a decisive charge that disrupted a large Volantene flanking attack and rendered them vulnerable to a Myrish response.

Downplayed with Samwell Tarly, but he possesses a little more skill with a blade as he was trained by one of Willas Tyrell's masters-at-arms (one specifically picked for his patience) instead of his father. He is still middling at best and but in battle he can at least defend himself. He also gets a chance to display his talent for logistics and politics, managing the Eastern Expeditions' supplies.

Everyone Has Standards: It's noted by in-universe future historical documents that even the violent standards of the time, the Dothraki's utter obliteration of the Confederation of the Darkwash, and the subsequent slaughter of all its inhabitants who weren't then enslaved, horrified everyone who learned of it. When the Tyroshi preemptively massacre their slaves when it looks like the city will be under siege, the pirates they hired to protect their harbor are so disgusted that many of them desert. The Dothraki have issues with genocide and slavery but even they take the sanctity of a peace banner deadly seriously. Ned violating this and murdering Khal Zirquo and his bloodriders beneath a peace banner not only sullies his reputation permanently but earns the eternal enmity of the Dothraki people.

Too Dumb to Live: When the Sunset Company takes Pentos, the Pentoshi nobility in the hinterlands rally together to try and retake the city. To supplement their meager forces, they mobilize and arm their own field slaves fight on their behalf...against people who are freeing slaves. It wasn't until battle was drawn and the slave infantry turned on them almost immediately that the Pentoshi commander realize what a bad idea this was.

Illegal Religion: One of the many draconian laws Stannis subjugates the Ironborn to after crushing Balon's Rebellion is to ban worship of the Drowned God, on the grounds that the religion is blamed for fueling the Ironborn's Rape, Pillage, and Burn culture. This forces devout Drowned God worshippers to either continue to do so in secret, or flee to Robert's more religiously tolerant kingdom in Myr.

Rape, Pillage, and Burn: Even the Blackfish accepts this as a reality of war in a time where soldiers are paid in plunder and the chance to rampage. The Ironborn embrace it, and for Lyn Corbay it is his specialty. Corbray takes this further after being assigned as the warden of the border with Tyrosh. Knowing the Kingdom's border is new and weak and that the Tyroshi can muster vast numbers of men and resources against them, Corbray embarks on a massive Chevauchée where he and his men invade the Tyroshi borderlands, strip it of anything that can be carried with them and burning anything that can't. The express intention of the raid is to render the Tyroshi frontier incapable of supporting an invading army, therefore securing the Myrish border.

Realpolitik: When it becomes clear that Tyrosh is going to lose the Third Slave War, Lys cuts all ties with their traditional partner, instead grabbing up as much of their territory as possible. When Lorath is forced to abandon its neutrality and pick a side between the Abolitionist Alliance and the Slaver cities, it chooses the safer option of not pissing off the combined military might (and fanatical abolitionism) of Braavos and Myr, instead beginning a process of slow emancipation for its slaves. Lady Shipwright despises Victarion for his raping and pillaging during the fall of Myr, but still plays nice with him for the sake of her House having such a powerful ally. Due to the upheaval brought to western Essos' status quo since the Sunset Company's arrival, the dominant faction in Norvos decides to pursue a treaty with the abolitionists in which they will enact a slow manumission of their slave population in exchange for being allowed to annex Qohor's former territories unmolested. In the eyes of this faction, the small sacrifice of this change to their culture will bring their city greater glory in the long-term. Unfortunately, reactionaries decide to stage a coup rather than let this happen. In response to Lorath's capitulation to Braavos, which they see as part of Braavosi colonialist expansion, Saath and Ibben band together to metaphorically draw a line in the sand. Lys eventually sues for peace with the Abolitionists at the end of the Fourth Slave War to avoid being outright crushed, accepting the loss of their mainland territories to Myr and permanent military occupation of their islands by Braavos to ensure that they enact manumission on their slaves. And for their part, Myr only accepts a peace treaty (as opposed to their original plans of invading the islands) for the sake of preserving their alliance with Braavos. At the tail end of the Fourth Slave War, the Tattered Prince sues for a separate peace with Myr, offering to aid them in liberating Norvos in exchange for he and his men being allowed to peacefully enter exile in neutral Lorath afterwards. Many on Myr's side want to just kill him for causing Brynden Tully's death during the war, but Robert accepts the deal, as most of the rest of the Abolitionist Alliance's forces have withdrawn by this point due to seeing the war as over due to Lys' surrender and the Exile Company's defeat, so he needs all the help he can get to beat Norvos.

Hope Spot: During the Siege of Tyrosh, after the Abolitionists take the harbor and overrun the walls, the Tyroshi manage to shut the gates to the inner city and repel all attempts to take it. They have enough supplies to last months and are confident they can last at least until winter sets in, whereas they'd have the leverage to end the siege peacefully. Then the Tyroshi commander gets word that one of their councilors rigged her manse with wildfire...

Shout-Out
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: A "black-masked pirate named Roberts" is offhandedly mentioned at one point. One of Stannis's most loyal lords during the early years of his reign is Lord Abram, of House Gaunt. Many of the Stepstone pirates are named after various real life figures from The Golden Age of Piracy. Much of the information concerning the events in Westeros and Essos comes from the in-universe testimonies of a knight named Ser Harry Flash. He is nowhere near as scummy as the real deal. Aside from the Flash Papers, the special anniversary posts show future in-universe media centered around the events of the fic. These include: A play called King Robert written centuries afterwards by Willem Stackspear. A cartoon called Sphinxes, based on Gargoyles, where Robert and Daario are both reincarnated warriors awoken by a detective. A live action historical comedy, based around the misadventures of a fictional courtier to King Stannis named Edmund Blackviper. A Total War esque video game called Total War: Liberator. It even has a trailer based on this one for Napoleon: Total War.

The Alliance
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_c8c968c3
comment
The Alliance: The Sunset Company/Kingdom of Myr and Braavos ally against the slaver cities, with Westeros providing tactic but mostly unofficial support. Later on, Lorath becomes a Braavosi client state, and the Summer Islands begin providing resources and volunteers (though whether they formally join the alliance varies from island to island). In response to the growing abolitionist powers, the city-states of Slaver's Bay forge a cooperative Pact amongst themselves. Saath and Ibben eventually come together to draw a metaphorical line in the sand against Braavos' perceived expansionism. Also in response to the Abolitionist Alliance, Volantis and Lys grow closer and eventually form a mutual defense alliance known as the Valyrian League, with plans to draw in Norvos as well. Mantarys is later press-ganged into the League as well after Viserys leads Volantis' forces in crushing them in battle, while the League and Pact sign a mutual defense treaty and Volantis allies with Khal Drogo and the pirate lord Chang the Invincible.

Decadent Court
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_c9790040
comment
Decadent Court: While not as bad as canon yet, an excerpt from the Flash Papers set around the time of the Lords Resolute rebellion notes that factions and infighting are starting to grow in Stannis' court, with Ser Harry's narration implying it's only going to get worse. We see this start to develop in later chapters, as the court becomes divided between Stannis and Cersei's underlings, with the latter also providing a foothold for the Faith to gain greater influence. And that's without all the other Great Houses sending courtiers to represent their interests as well. There's also Renly, who while loyal to Stannis is building his own faction in order to counter Cersei's influence on the court.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Khal Pobo gathers several hordes under his command in order to wage war on the Kingdom of Myr in revenge for the Battle of Narrow Run. In return for their own actions during this, Robert swears one of these against the Dothraki as a whole. The Abolitionist Alliance get thoroughly battered in the Battle of the Agneiat and following skirmishes, being bloodied, exhausted and losing a good number of their commanders. Once they learn that the remnants of the Volantene Grand Army have their backs to the wall at Ghoyan Drohe, their rage reinvigorates them and they charge forward to destroy their hated foe.

Kicked Upstairs: After Jaime's refusal to return to Westeros (and Lysa's suicide as a result) taints relations between Westeros and Myr, and causes tensions amongst Myr's nobility over whether he was right to do so, Robert sends him off as part of the embassy to the Summer Islands. It's nominally an important position, but is really just a means of getting him out of the way until things calm down.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here

comment
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After Daario is removed from leadership of the Tyroshi armies and exiled from their lands, all the Stormcrows quit their contract with Tyrosh and follow him. When it becomes clear that Braavos is fully committing itself to the war, many leading members of Tyroshi society and their families flee for Lys or Volantis as do the Myrish exiles. And when it becomes clear that Tyrosh is going to lose, people start fleeing the city in droves. Similarly, as the war begins, many pirates flee the Stepstones for greener pastures, knowing that the region will no longer be safe for them once the regional balance of power shifts. When the Royal Army takes out the leadership of the rebel forces at Tickclose Field, the foot soldiers break ranks and flee. When it becomes clear the Ironborn's rebellion is doomed, Urrigon Greyjoy grabs his retainers and Asha and flees for Essos. After Cersei tries to convert his son from the Old Gods to the Seven, Roose Bolton quits his position as Stannis' Master of Laws in protest and returns to the North. With it clear that the Grand Army is on its last legs at Ghoyan Drohe, the Tattered Prince and his men desert the slavers' ranks and flee under a peace banner. When it becomes clear that there is no longer any chance for Lys to win the Fourth Slave War, Daario gathers his forces and flees to Volantis.

Know When to Fold 'Em: After the Old Faith rebels overwhelm the Arryn loyalists in Gulltown, the few surviving members of the local garrison give up and flee by sea.

When Norvos is being overrun by the Abolitionists, what's left of the city's navy quickly surrenders rather than keep up a futile fight defending the surrounded docks.

You Are in Command Now: Stannis becomes the King on the Iron Throne when Robert abdicates to pursue Rhaegar across the Narrow Sea. A common point with Summer Crowns. Owen Merryweather's death at the Battle of Haven causes command of Westeros' Eastern Expedition to fall to Samwell Tarly (though Harry Flash, as his second in command, is the one really in charge). When Lyn Corbray is mortally wounded at the Battle of Claymoor Water, his last order is to pass command of his forces to Jaime.

Never Found the Body

comment
Never Found the Body: Aeron Greyjoy's body is never recovered when he's supposedly killed at the Battle of Fair Island. As such, when a Drowned Priest claiming to be him appears years later to lead an unsuccessful rebellion against mainland occupation of the Iron Islands, it's unclear whether it's really him or not. Ned Stark's body disappears after he dies in the Second Battle of Ghoyan Drohe, carried away by the river he dies in and never being recovered. This leads to the In-Universe myth being born that He's Just Hiding.

The Fundamentalist
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_f76842b1
comment
The Fundamentalist: In response to Septon Jonothor's growing reformation movement, a reactionary "Old Faith" counter-movement springs up, holding to a strict interpretation of the Seven and their teachings, and calling for the overthrow of any nobles who don't agree with them, which eventually evolves to calling for an abolition of any hierarchy beyond the village level. There's also Septon Ryman and his followers, who believe in predestination and uniform doctrine. Whereas the Old Faith is to date still all talk, Ryman actually inspires many Reach lords in the Upper Mander to outright rebel against Stannis' regime in response to not meeting their standards. And they later start burning perceived heretics at the stake. Cersei, of all people, starts becoming this in reaction to all the stress factors in her life (being unable to give Stannis a second son, nearly dying after birthing her twin daughters, Jaime refusing to come home, etc.), becoming a strict follower of the mainstream Baelorite Faith.

Suicidal Overconfidence

comment
Suicidal Overconfidence: At the Battle of Tickclose Field, the Lords Resolute are vastly outnumbered by the Royal Army, but being spurred on by Septon Ryman's fanaticism they charge anyway. Understandably, they get curbstomped.

The Remnant
 Chasing Dragons (Fanfic) / int_f9c17447
comment
The Remnant: The Targaryean Loyalists. The Myrish exiles have one too. After Tyrosh is destroyed, an exile community is set up in Oldtown. Following Qohor being annihilated by the Dothraki, the Qohori who lived outside the city itself are scattered, with most either settling among the rebel Norvoshi territories or emigrating to Westeros. The Grand Army of Volantis marched out of their city numbering nearly fifty thousand and boasted themselves as being the mightiest army on Essos since the Doom of Valyria. After the Battle of the Agneiat and the Battles of Ghoyan Drohe, they're reduced to a fraction of the Exile Company sneaking away on river barges after they left the Volantene Militia to the abolitionists' fury.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Euron wants to unite Westeros against the possible return of the White Walkers, and if that means scourging the Iron Islands and then eventually usurping Stannis, then so be it.

Death Seeker: Ser Brus Buckler becomes this after circumstances force him to abandon half his forces at the Battle of Piper's Creek and leaving him to be declared a coward.
