I know Ned was stressed as hell seeing his daughter, who resembles Lyanna physically and in attitude, become friends with Robert’s bastard son and Edric Dayne aka mister pale blonde hair and purple eyes. Like that man was about to die again from a heart attack, hands shaking as he pulled at his hair, thinking to himself “no, gods, no. Not this again. No one give my girl a flower please”

i'm a firm believer that if there wasn't a war of the five kings and the starks never went south, later in life arya would had to wed a northern lord, unlike sansa, arya always has loved the north and never really cared about the south, so from the way i see it, sansa would insist to be married to a southern house and i believe that catelyn would want that for her since in agot we have her thinking about how "sansa would shine in the south" and i believe for arya, ned would look more for a northern house, because he knows better than most that arya has the wolfblood that both, his brother and sister used to have and yeah i know dorne is the furthest south from the north you can get, but at the same time i like the idea of edricxarya in this au, that's where i would like for arya and ned dayne to meet at a tourney, where arya was forced to assist, and i can see a lyanna-arya parallel happening like in the books when lyanna rescued howland and arya rescued mycah, only this time with a dornish squire, i think edric would be absolutely enchanted by the brave tiny girl that rescued him and at the other side arya would like that edric doesn't seem to dislike that her, being a lady of a great house, takes waterdancing lessons and knows how to use her thin little sword and that's how their friendship starts and of course arya is a realist at heart, she would know that sooner than later she would have to get married to form a political alliance and there's not escaping from it and i think she would prefer to marry an old friend than a complete stranger, and that's how i see the stark-dayne alliance being formed, by arya's own decision

Arya/Edric is such an underrated ship. Their interactions are few but quality. They're both kind and friendly to each other, with Arya trying to distract him from his unhappiness. The way they're described hanging out and walking around High Heart at sunset together is very cute and more than enough for fanfic potential.

Arya Snow meeting her aunt Lady Arya Dayne for the first time.
Fic Idea: No war AU, The wildlings still attack the wall though. Except this time, Ygritte survives. Her and Jon remain together and soon have a daughter which they name Arya for Jon's beloved little sister.
With tensions rising in the North between the Nightswatch, free folk and the Northmen. Jon convinces Ygritte to Foster their little daughter away, safe from the fighting.
Initially, she was meant to be taken in by Robb and be raised in Winterfell. However, after the fierce protests of Lady Catelyn (who feared the presence of another bastard in Winterfell), it was decided that she would stay with her newly married aunt, her namesake, Lady Arya Dayne.

After Arya Stark returns to Winterfell, she is prepared to fight like hell to save her family from the Army of the Dead. And then Jon comes back, and he marries her off to her childhood acquaintance Ned Dayne for Dorne's army. But Starfall holds secrets within its walls; contempt for the new Lady, untrustworthy servants, and a young blacksmith from times past. As Dorne delays in sending their army and the White Walkers creep ever closer to the Wall, Arya will have to rely on old friends and her new skills in order to save her pack.

Day 17: Jealousy - Edric and Bella
"Lords and ladies" [...] "Why don't you go back to Stoney Sept and ring that girl's stupid bells?"
A bit of appreciation for this two poor characters unfortunately wedged between Arya and Gendry.

Behind them, Gendry groaned. "Lords and ladies," he proclaimed in a disgusted tone. Arya plucked a withered crabapple off a passing branch and whipped it at him, bouncing it off his thick bull head. "Ow," he said. "That hurt." He felt the skin above his eye. "What kind of lady throws crabapples at people?" Arya VIII - 597
Gendry breaks into Arga's conversation with Ned. Annoyed, Arya throws a crabapple at him. I originally planned to do Ned's flashback of defending Beric's body but I thought it would have been too similar to my picture of Thoros reviving Beric at the same battle. I went with the slapstick instead. I also find it cute that, wherever their relationship goes later, Arya has adopted Gendry as a substitute stupid older brother.

Sorry a day late but here is day 15
Love
Five times Sansa helped her family find love and the one time they helped her
1. Sister
“I just don’t understand!” Said Sansa as she followed Arya.
“That is a new one.” Arya said with a roll of her eyes.
“Watch it…” Sansa warned. “You and Gendry are great together.”
“We are just friends.” Arya stressed.
“Yeah, I usually am struck speechless by my friend’s bodies as well.” Sansa deadpanned, referencing her sister’s reaction at the Stark-Poole pool party.
“You… You just don’t understand.” Arya said, pathetically.
Sansa growled in frustration before looking past Arya and smiling in realization. “Ok then. My friend Alla has expressed interest. I guess you would not mind if…”
“Absolutely not!”
“But you just said…”
“Gendry is mine! Back off!” Arya snapped, before there was a ‘het-hem’ behind her. Sansa’s sister’s long face got even longer as she recognized the source of the voice.
“Toodle-loo!” Sansa said, with a cheeky wave. “I am sure you two have a lot to talk about. Gendry? Our curfew is at 10pm. Try to have her back by then!”
2. Cousin
“Hey, Sansa.” Myrcella said, holding up a bag for the pool party.
“Oh! Hey Cella!” Sansa said, ushering her in. “You are… really early.”
Myrcella grimaced and Sansa waved her down when she realized how rude she came across. “I am so sorry! I just…”
“No! It is fine!”
“Sorry! I just got off of work and going home was the opposite direction and…”
“Cella, it is fine.” Sansa said, holding her forearms.
“Phew. In that case, is there anywhere for me to change?” She asked, and Sansa pointed her in the direction of the bathroom with the broken door.
“Thanks tons!” Myrcella said, practically skipping to the bathroom.
A moment later a voice behind her said, “Hey Sans, is there anyone in the downstairs bathroom?” Sansa turned to see Jon holding swim trunks at the base of the stairs. “Ma is hogging the one upstairs.”
“No you are good.” Sansa lied. Myrcella had been half in love with her cousin since the band incident but was too much of a chickenshit to do anything about it. Maybe Sansa could jumpstart it.
Jon walked over to the bathroom and opened the door without bothering to knock. Sansa got a good look into the room as Myrcella stiffened with her back to the door and her heart shaped butt on display.
Sansa stepped away so that she could not see into the bathroom to give her friend some privacy as Jon stammered out some apologies. Sansa smiled when instead of pushing Jon out of the doorway to slam the door, she grabbed him by the shirt and dragged him inside.
“About damned time…” She said to herself.
3. Brother
Sansa rolled her eyes at her baby brother, on his first date at the movies. She was somehow the one designated to supervise their date and munched on popcorn behind him.
Shireen Baratheon was a good family friend and it surprised everyone when he asked her out. With her scars the girl did not have the easiest time growing up and was a little untrusting when she was asked out by the handsome Rickon Stark. It was only Sansa interfering that stopped Rickon from totally mucking it up. (So Sansa was biased? Sue her!)
But it seems that Sansa is going to need to hold his hand for their entire relationship! Sitting in the row behind him, she saw how his hand kept rising to put over her shoulder before lowering, changing his mind. After the seventh time this happened Sansa rolled her eyes, grabbed his elbow as it rose and pushed it upwards and over the other girl's shoulder.
Shireen stiffened and looked over surprised. Rickon for his part looked just as surprised. The girl was not exactly convinced at his earnestness yet but leaned into the cuddle anyway, making Rickon look like the rooster who found the roost.
“Loser.” Sansa thought affectionately
4. Uncle
“I do not know…” Uncle Edmure said, scratching the back of his head.
“You like her. She likes you.” Sansa stressed, annoyed.
“She is your cousin.” Edmure said, looking at Myranda across the room sitting at their table looking bored.
“Exactly! My cousin!” Sansa stressed, even though that was a stretch. Her and Myranda shared a set of Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparent. Still their families were still close.
“Sansa I don’t…”
Sansa rolled her eyes and shouted, “Myranda! He said yes!”
Edmure gave her a look of horror and Sansa gave her a cheeky grin. “I expect to be a bridesmaid at your wedding!”
5. Aunt
Sansa sat playing with her doll and Margaery cleaned up the play area. The girls did not get to spend time together as they liked so they used the time they had had to the fullest.
“Is Willas picking you up?” Sansa asked.
“Probably. Why?”
“Nothing.” Sansa said, unconvincingly. “It is just… Aunt Lyanna gets happier when is the one to pick you up.”
“Really?” Margie said, mischievously.
“Yeah. And she said…” Sansa began before blushing hard.
“Go on.”
“She said that he has an… butt for days.” She finished causing both girls to start giggling in hysterics.
“You know what this means!” Margie asked. “It means she likes Willas! Old ladies only talk about boy’s butts when they like them!”
“We could be family!” Sansa whispered. “Aunt Lyanna?”
“Yes, sweetling?”
“Do you like Willas?” Sansa asked, and Lyanna turned scarlet.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Do you like Willas? Margie’s brother?” Sansa said.
“Sansa…”
“You should ask him out!” Margie said, and Lyanna tilted her head. “I once heard him talk about how much he likes how you are with the horses.” Margie confirmed and if that was not a declaration of true Love Sansa did not know what was.
“I don’t know girls…” Lyanna began and Sansa piped up.
“You said that it is a woman’s world now too! And they should not hesitate to grab life by the treats.” Sansa said, reminding her aunt.
“By the what?”
“Treats!” Sansa said, beaming.
Lyanna finally realized what Sansa meant and she did not realize that she was there during that conversation with Lysa and was mortified that she was using that euphemism. But the girl was right. She should be the one to make the first move. Willas was plenty handsome and she deserved some of that man butt!
“You two are right.” Lyanna said, ruffling hair to both girl’s displeasure. “Maybe I will ask him out.”
Lyanna couldn’t help but grin as both girls jumped up and down and started dancing in successful glee.
1+ Family
Sansa looked up from her book as Uncle Edmure and Gendry walked in without a word. “Hey guys, what's oomph!” Sansa was taken off guard as the only two family members taller than her both picked her up and carried her to her room
Quicker than Sansa could think, she was deposited in her room where Myranda, Arya, Margaery, Myrcella, Shireen, and her Aunt Lyanna were waiting. “What is going on?” Sansa asked, but got no answer other than being stripped of her cropped sweatshirt, yoga pants and even bra.
The group (mostly Margaery and the Baratheon girls) quickly had her hair done up and make-up done, talking and joking with each other ignoring Sansa’s questions. Finally they were finished making her look like she was going to Prom again and Ed and Gendry picked her up and brought her to the door.
“Why do I feel like I am being sold?” Sansa asked rhetorically.
“Welllll….” Arya said, “You want to play matchmaker so badly we figured that we’d return the favor. My Friend Edric Dayne is outside.”
“What!” Sansa hissed, but before she got a response the door opened to see Ned in a sports coat and holding a Red Rose.
“Hi Ned.” She said, but the entire group behind her seemed to be intimidating him.
“Get her back at a decent hour!” Edmure said.
“But not too decent!” Myranda said with a waggle of her eyes.
“If you hurt her I will find you.” Lyanna said in a low growl.
“I- I am really looking forward to this.” Ned said, earnestly.
“Yeah, me too.” Sansa said.
“You had no idea this was happening did you?” Ned asked, completely unfooled.
“No.” She said, as he opened the passenger door to his purple truck. Between that and the rose, he was easily the most chivalrous man she had ever gone out with (not that Joffrey and Harry put up a great competition. “But that does not mean I am not excited!”

ASOIAF RARE PAIRS WEEK 2022
Day 7: Free choice/ Time Travel AU -> Nedrya for @atypical-asoiaf-pairs
Arya had been invited by Ned Dayne to come to Starfall and staying some days together.
One day while they were on a trip throughout the Torrentine, Arya and Ned found suddenly a strange man appeared behind a rock formation that was close to the riverside. The man seemed diorientid and confused, his cloak was white decorated with small green hands.
"He must be a Gardener, look at his cloak" Ned said.
Arya remembered a frew Maester Luwin's history about the Age of Heroes and the old kings of the Reach, Old Nan's tales about the legendary Garth Greenhand and his descendants like Brandon of the Bloody Blade, Rose of the Red Lake, Flores the Fox and Garth the Gardener...
"House Gardener ended with Aegon's conquest, it would be impossible to find a member of the family nor their bannermen "
"Maybe he's an actor from a play, I'll go and ask him"
"Ser, can we help you?
"I'm not a knight"
The man told that he was Rodrik and that he was member of the guard of Garth the Gardener and that he was on his way to Highgarden but he got lost and  he got surprised that he suddenly appeared in Dorne.
"I'm Arya Stark of Winterfell and he's Edric Dayne of Starfall, we're now in the river Torrentine, not far from Blackmont. I live in the North, but Edric knows this land very well" Arya thought that maybe neither Winterfell or Starfall existen yet if it was true that he was from the past, but she tried to introduce them to him and try to confort him.
"We were about going fishing, would you want to come with us, Rodrick?" Edric asked him. He was so sweet. Arya thought the same. We were thinking to say the same thing, just like she and Jon.
They sat by the river with Rodrik. He murmured something. Something about a witch who had brought him here. It was hard to understand him. A woman with dark hair and hazel eyes, he told.
All he remembered is that he was on a battlefield with Garth against the Casterlys, the woman told him that he could find a way to defeat them and he follow her, she told him to search information about the Age of Heroes in a great library, and the woman disappeared.
"Rodrik, come here, you got lost in your way, I can help you!
A woman whispered from afar.
"Garth needs you to be by his side for the next time, come with me"
The woman approached. At first Arya thought she might be the woman who had brought Rodrik here, but this one was blonde and had brown eyes.
"Are you another time wicht?"
"More or less, I guess the one who brought him here is an old friend of mine" She smiled. " Lady Stark, Lord Dayne , are you the ones that had been taking care of him? Thank you, sometimes it's difficult to locate an unexpected intrusion through the portals"
"What kind of portals are those?"
"I guess at this point I have to tell you the story" Arya and Ned listened with eyes wide opened.
"Centuries ago an old maester came to Sunspear offering Nymeria the spells he had been working during all his life, spells that create portals to travel through time.
'You can be the queen of time' Levy said.
"Levy spread his portals through Dorne, the rest of Westeros and even Essos, connecting all places and all times. And then Nymeria formed a secret guard to keep the portals safe."
"For people like me, it's our duty to keep everything as it was, I have to make sure that that man returns to his original period, so his intrusion doesn't interfere in the timeline. Time is what is.
We try to be discrete but sometimes we can't avoid that someone discovers by accident. You can join us or keep this as a secret. You choose, maybe now you're too young, but in the future both of you can be good recruits."
"Go to the Sandship and ask for Larra" she said, before she lead Rodrik where he  belonged.
Arya and Ned looked at each other.
"Maybe next time we can go on a trip to Sunspear" Arya asked later whrn they were gone.
"And adventure, it sounds great" Ned laughed.

do you guys think grrm was twirling his hair and grinning to himself when he decided to write gendry meeting the bane of his existence: lord edric dayne of starfall?
i'm rereading arya's asos chapters and it's so funny how arya and gendry meeting a 12 year old blond boy with dark blue eyes that almost appear purple makes gendry jealous in the spot, like a switch that went off, even before realizing said boy is nobility and the lord of starfall.
