Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic)	comment	Of Gold and Iron is a Game of Thrones Real Life AU by Kallypso, trading the cutthroat world of medieval politics for the cutthroat world of modern business. The story begins when Ned Stark, CEO of Stark Industries, is killed in a drunk driving accident which also paralyzes his son Bran. In her grief, his daughter Arya rationalizes that this wasn't random - he was murdered, and she's going to prove it.Of course, the only people who can prove such a thing are the Faceless Men, who place her in charge of spying on Tywin Lannister, her family's chief competitor - and the other man who suspects Ned may have been murdered. Before long, their families become intertwined by a city-wide conspiracy looking for their heads, forcing them together in ways no one could have expected.It concluded on January 1st, 2021, at 66 chapters and can be read at Archive of Our Own.

Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic) / int_14d633ed	comment	If I Wanted You Dead...: When convincing Arya that he had no role in Ned's death, Tywin recalls his supposed ruthlessness and pulls out a handgun, pointing out that if he truly had something to hide, he'd simply gun her down right then and there.

Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic) / int_228cb20	comment	Adaptational Mundanity: As a result of the general Mundanization of the series to real life, several characters and features are tweaked to work in the setting: The Faceless Men lose their schtick of actually taking people's faces in favor of making it metaphorical, with the Men instead taking the "faces" of their personas. For some who actually do change their face, it's through plastic surgery. "Long Night" is no longer a mythical event, but a powerful narcotic instead, with the Night King instead being the drug's primary creator and dealer who intends to spread it across the city. Bran's abilities as the "Three-Eyed Raven" are changed from supernatural omnipotence to hacking abilities instead, giving him access to security cameras and secure communications.

Tywin and Catelyn originally dislike each other and only interact when necessary, but as they find themselves forced to work together to protect their families, they gradually get closer and closer. They're dating by the end. Jaime and Jon are originally cold to each other, but as it quickly becomes apparent that they are the only trustworthy members of the police department (besides Brienne), they're forced to trust each other more until they're basically brothers in arms.

She got pregnant with Joffrey after a fling with Robert while she was barely an adult. Rather than have his daughter disgrace the family name by siring a bastard child, Tywin forced Cersei to marry Robert, trapping her in an Awful Wedded Life. Cersei knew this was also her father's way of punishing her.

Here, on his own, he's at most guilty of being a domestic abuser; he was blackmailed into killing Ned Stark, seems to regret it, and ultimately loves his sister even at his lowest.

Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic) / int_82a64c4b	type	Adaptational Nice Guy
Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Even disregarding that Tywin is no longer in a setting where murdering entire families is every day business, he is much nicer than his canon counterpart; whereas in canon even his praises masked insults, here he is genuinely capable of acknowledging other people's successes and even offering genuine comfort in his own way. Canon Joffrey is one of the most famous examples of Teens Are Monsters in modern literature history, with no act too evil or petty for him. Here, on his own, he's at most guilty of being a domestic abuser; he was blackmailed into killing Ned Stark, seems to regret it, and ultimately loves his sister even at his lowest. Cersei as well. While her later cooperation with the Starks is mainly driven by a desire to avenge Joffrey's death, she never descends into a full-blown vindictive tyrant as she does in canon. She is also not involved in Robert Baratheon's death.

Of Gold and Iron (Fanfic) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In the first chapter, as Baelish explains how he knows about the Faceless Men, he notes that he has a "suspicious mind". The full canon quote being referenced says that "only dishonest people think this way", hinting at the fact that Baelish had Ned killed. Following Stannis's death, Olenna tells Tywin to remember that everything is always just business, referencing a specific act involving the Second Essosi War and the collapse of the Iron Bank. Tywin will later reveal that he and several other CEOs purposefully collapsed the economy during the war to give them an edge, which is why Jaqen is on his warpath in the first place.
