The Kings Who Cared is an A Song of Ice and Fire Fan Fiction by Some Random Weird Guy, the premise being basically what if two kings left behind the game of thrones to face the threat of the Others far north, instead of one.On his way to King’s Landing with the reanimated hand of a wight to show proof of the existence of the Others and request aid from the Iron Throne, Ser Allister Thorne of the Night’s Watch has his ship waylaid by a storm and is forced to make an impromptu stop at Braavos. And it’s in the Free City that the man of the Night’s Watch and the moving hand are witnessed by a certain Rolly Duckfield, who brings back the news to his group: the companions of Aegon VI Targaryen, the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and the Hidden Backup Prince, heir to the Iron Throne. Said prince also has a dragon dream about the Wall, convincing him to derail their plans of waiting to have their ally the Golden Company at their back and coming to Westeros early and help the Night’s Watch.Meanwhile, following their crushing defeat at the Battle of the Blackwater, the forces of Stannis Baratheon on Dragonstone are exhausted morally and physically, unsure of what the future holds for them. But Princess Shireen Baratheon does not realize much of this, as she is preoccupied with dreams she has had of late. Dreams of dragons…It can be read on FanFiction.Net here or on Archive of Our Own here. A more extensive story discussion thread can be found on SpaceBattles.com here.

comment
Secret Identity: Most members of Aegon's group maintain one: Jon Connington is Griff, a sellsword; Aegon is Young Griff, his son; and Septa Lemore is the new identity of Wenda the White Fawn, itself the criminal identity taken by noble girl Gwendolin Cafferen.

Black Knight: Aegon's armor is black, tough not as dark as the ones worn by the Night's Watch. It's the closest thing to a heraldry of House Targaryen that he's allowed to war.

Adaptational Heroism
 The Kings Who Cared (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: The faith of R'hllor is portrayed more sympathetically, although the fic doesn't gloss over their Activist-Fundamentalist Antics. The reason seems to be because the author is tired of reading the R'hllorites being portrayed as The Fundamentalist who Burn the Heretic and Always Chaotic Evil.

Like a Son to Me
 The Kings Who Cared (Fanfic) / int_a8adc5a0
comment
Like a Son to Me: A source of tension in Aegon's relationship with Jon Connington is that the man raised him as if he truly were his son, and deep down the Really Royalty Reveal causes him Angst because not only he felt like he was lied to his whole life, but he also now has to try and not think of Griff as his father.

Dreaming of Things to Come: Aegon dreams of a dragon landing on the Wall and of a bitter cold followed by a cracking laughter, with the Wall falling apart. It's pointed out that many Targaryens had similar prophetic abilities called dragon dreams.

Psychic Dreams for Everyone: Aegon gets them in the form of dragon dreams, which warns him of the threat at the Wall before Duck even tells them. Shireen also starts to get them, though it is unknown if it's a result of her distant Targaryen ancestry.

Switching P.O.V.: Just like with the books, the fanfic uses the same setup. So far, the narrators have been Jon Connington, Aegon Targaryen, Ser Rolly Duckfield "Duck", Stannis Baratheon, Shireen Baratheon, Jon Snow, Samwell Tarly, Selyse Baratheon, Haldon Halfmaester, and Ser Richard Horpe.
