Summary
The Stardust AU for Theon/Robb that no one other than me asked for.
With her two eldest sons dead, Queen Alannys will do anything to save her remaining children — her daughter Asha, and her baby Theon. The King, of course, chases them down but when they disappear completely there is no choice but to let the matter pass.
The Kingdom fares well enough in the absence of the Queen and her heirs (whom reside on the other side of the Wall, as the poor orphans their parents had never intended them to be).
Everything goes to shit, however, once the King dies, a star falls, and Theon’s pride leads him to making a stupid promise.

Summary
It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. The plan had been simple, and the same as usual: Jeyne poses as the Captain's new wife, and Theon as her overprotective brother, one of them seduces her spouse, then they steal whatever they can and make a clean exit.
But Jon Snow just had to be honour incarnate, with a dashing Robb Stark ready to sweep Theon off his feet, and Sansa just was too kind to the both of them.
God, being thieves was supposed to be easy.

Summary
Baelor is thirty six, the crown prince, and has buried one wife already. He did not ask for another but a rebellion does not care what you ask for, and so he found himself wed to a brother half his age in the name of Targaryen unity.
Maekar is eighteen, an omega, and has spent three years at Summerhall understanding exactly what he is to his husband; an arrangement. A political necessity. An afterthought, not that this is anything new.
With the rebellion reshaping itself and a unified front to maintain, they are summoned to King's Landing to begin the marriage in earnest.
Neither of them is particularly pleased about it.

Summary
The table had fallen silent. Aerion doesn't bask in his victory until it's in hand, which means he turns to Baelor next.
"Or would you rather that dad remembers how he bashed your head in, Uncle? So he could spend this life as miserably as he had the last one?" Aerion adds cruelly.
Normally, Baelor would have an answer at his lips but not to that. Never to that.

Summary
“He was ruined now. Ruined for anyone but Baelor. He supposed that had always been the case. His first word had been Baelor’s name. Womb to ash, Maekar knew who he belonged to.”
***
Baelor survives the blow to his head at Ashford but believes himself to be mated to Maekar as a result. Their father orders Maekar to go along with the charade in order to ensure Baelor heals from his wounds. Maekar does, even though he knows it will be his undoing.
