You're my river running high by dwellingondreams

Summary
"Be the water where I'm wading."- Lykke Li, 'I Follow Rivers'.
Kermit Tully, known to all but his lord father as Ser Kit, sits besides his flushed, giddy sister, talking and laughing with the other lordlings around him. He sits straight and tall, and his coppery hair gleams in the torchlight. Eddara is struck by his high cheekbones and the smile on his face; he appears genuinely intrigued by everything said to him. More than anything, for an instant, she wants a boy like Kit Tully to look at her like that.
(Edda Stark meets Kit Tully at Harrenhal, and for an instant, life is like the sweet, sad songs her sister loves.)

"I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment
Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

Tremble to Behold by dwellingondreams

Summary
The gown Viserra wore to meet the Khal was lavender silk, to bring out her lilac eyes. It felt too smooth, too slippery against her skin. Once, she had been a pretty little girl, doll-like and frail, with a shy, gap-toothed smile. But she was a woman grown now, two-and-twenty, and over a decade of running and hiding and fighting for every scrap of bread, respect, and recognition had worn her hard and bare.
(Fourteen years after the Usurper's dogs destroyed her family and sent them fleeing into exile in Essos, Viserra Targaryen barters what little she has left on a desperate alliance with the Dothraki, determined to bring herself and her sister Daenerys home)

I will be rocks, I will be water (I will leave this to my daughter) by dwellingondreams

Summary
“Do you suppose he will be as handsome as his brother was?” she’d asked Catelyn excitedly a few days before the rebel party was to arrive.
“You’ll have to see for yourself and find out,” Catelyn had smiled in her usual reserved manner, but the deep sadness in her eyes remained. Had she not been ruined by Petyr, Lysa knew, she would be the one marrying Eddard Stark. Instead she was marrying Jon Arryn, lord of the Eyrie, who, although everyone said he had been strong and handsome in his youth, was now an old man, old enough to be their grandfather. For once, Catelyn was the pitied one, not Lysa, and Lysa did not know what to make of it at all.
(Petyr takes advantage of Catelyn's grief over Brandon's unfaithfulness. In the aftermath, two marriages are drastically changed.)

Summary
"All our silence could not excuse/Disappoint or further prove/Anything other than what we already know." - MS MR, 'All the Things Lost'.
“Who did you promise?” she asks him, tearful with alarm and terror.
He gives an odd sort of little half smile, then rasps, “Lyanna. I always kept my promises. She would have been so angry with me… otherwise. I had to help her. It was the only way.”
“What was the only way?” Catelyn feels cold sweat dripping down her back, feels slightly feverish herself. “What do you mean, Ned? Did Lyanna ask you to do something?”
“Keep him away… from Robert,” he whispers. “To protect him.”
(Mortally wounded during the Greyjoy Rebellion, a delirious Ned makes a deathbed confession to Catelyn, leaving her to pick up the pieces of both her life and Jon Snow's.)
