Arya had her father's eyes, the grey eyes of the Starks. A girl her age might let her hair grow long, add inches to her height, see her chest fill out, but she could not change the color of her eyes. That's Sansa's little friend, the steward's girl. Jeyne, that was her name. Jeyne Poole.

Jon Snow

- When your plots ripen and you install your grandson on the throne, remember it was me who put him there. I could have killed him as easily as a wasp on fruit. - I will remember.

JONDANY AU: dune

Jon Snow, bastard son of Eddard Stark, Duke of Caladan, is preparing to join his family as they take control of the desert planet Arrakis in the name of the Emperor, Robert Baratheon. Jon is haunted by strange dreams of the desert, and of a girl with haunting violet eyes. Daenerys Targaryen, Princess of House Targaryen, fled as a child to Arrakis after the Emperor secretly ordered her family assassinated. Struggling to survive in the desert, Daenerys sustains herself with dreams of restoring her House and revenging herself against the Emperor. When House Stark is betrayed by the royal family, Jon takes refuge in the desert, and joins forces with the mysterious girl he met in his dreams. (insp.)

A struggle for the Iron Throne develops after King Robert's death. The throne is claimed by his son Joffrey, supported by his mother's powerful family, House Lannister, but Lord Eddard Stark, the King's Hand, claims that Robert's children are illegitimate, and that the throne should fall to Robert's brother Stannis. Robert's youngest brother, Renly, also places a claim with the support of the extremely powerful House Tyrell. Whilst these three claimants battle for the Iron Throne, Robb Stark, Lord Eddard Stark's heir, is proclaimed King in the North as the northmen and their allies in the Riverlands seek to return to self-rule. Likewise, Balon Greyjoy also re-claims the ancient throne of his own region, the Iron Islands, with an eye towards independence.

Amidst the stews of Flea Bottom, Prince Daemon’s go-between found suitable instruments. One had been a serjeant in the City Watch; big and brutal, he had lost his gold cloak for beating a whore to death whilst in a drunken rage. The other was a rat-catcher in the Red Keep. Their true names are lost to history. They are remembered as Blood and Cheese. * The two men crept up through the walls, bypassing the spearmen posted at the tower doors. Ser Otto’s rooms were of no interest to them. Instead they slipped into his daughter’s chambers, one floor below. Queen Alicent had taken up residence there after the death of King Viserys, when her son Aegon moved into Maegor’s Holdfast with his own queen. Once inside, Cheese bound and gagged the Dowager Queen whilst Blood strangled her bedmaid. Then they settled down to wait, for they knew it was the custom of Queen Helaena to bring her children to see their grandmother every evening before bed.

Dothraki men and women alike wore painted leather vests over bare chests and horsehair leggings cinched by bronze medallion belts. Dany did not need to look. She was barefoot, with oiled hair, wearing Dothraki riding leathers and a painted vest given her as a bride gift. She looked as though she belonged here. Viserys was soiled and stained in city silks and ringmail.     — Dany III, AGOT

“Some people find it easier if they close their eyes,” Mya said as she let the miles through the gate into the dark wood. “When they get frightened or dizzy, sometimes they hold onto the mule too tight. They don’t like that.”

“I was born a Tully and wed to a Stark,” Catelyn said. “I do not frighten easily. Do you plan to light a torch?”

Gendel’s folk were never seen again, but on a still night you can hear their children’s children’s children sobbing under the hills, still looking for the way back up. Listen? Do you hear them?
