Summary
A man from another world dies and wakes as a boy in the North. A bastard named Jon Snow.
But Jon Snow is no longer the quiet child of Winterfell. He remembers another life, one filled with machines, memory, and the knowledge of what’s to come. With Winter on the horizon and the South already scheming, he chooses action over silence.
From the black walls of the Night’s Watch to the burning rivers of the Riverlands, Jon, forged anew as Daemon, will reshape Westeros with steel, fire, and foresight. He builds, he plans, he kills, and he remembers. And the game of thrones is no longer played by the rules the lords remember.
A character-driven, realistic self-insert fic exploring war, prophecy, power, and the long night ahead.

Summary
These violent delights have violent ends, and all that glitters is not gold. Lysa is a terrible person doing terrible things, and deserves every terrible consequence that she will bring upon others and possibly herself as a result. Given that she's been reborn as a woman in Westeros, however, that's a price she's willing to pay. It's only gunpowder; what's the worst that can happen?
Or, a villain protagonist makes trainwreck life choices, therefore fitting in with everyone in this god awful world. Readers may rubberneck in hatred or fascination, at your own choosing.

Summary
You may have a propensity to mismatch your socks, lose every hair tie on your wrist, and gamble your life without blinking, but at first glance, there's nothing truly extraordinary about you. It's purposeful; in a world of gods and monsters, you've learned to keep your cards—and otherworldly intuition—close to your chest.
Some people look twice.
(You, Dick Grayson, and everything else through the years.)

Summary
A Low-Effort Account of High-Stakes Nonsense
Holly is done with saving the world. After a war, funeral after funeral, and one unfortunate wish made to a magical room with no sense of boundaries, she ends up somewhere very far from home—and very much someone else’s problem.
Now she runs a not-entirely-legal bakery in a city where flour is political, dragons are supposed to be terrifying (hers is the size of a teacup), and minding your own business is practically a crime. She’s got no interest in thrones, titles, or noble nonsense.
Which is exactly why the nobles won’t leave her alone.
All Holly wants is to survive, stay unimportant, and keep her pastry case full. But when a certain highborn woman starts showing up for tea, Holly finds herself dragged—reluctantly—into court gossip, royal secrets, and a mess big enough to topple a kingdom.
She didn’t come here to change the world. But the world keeps showing up at her door.
