I hope you can continue this story..

You assumed there would be further rebellions Tywin.

A man who knows that his opponent is willing to give mercy is more likely to throw down his arms than a man who knows he will have no mercy from his foe. Making them fight harder... making them hurt more people.

Holly hell... This needs to continue. It is neccesary. I really hope your doubts will pass, because this was maddeningly intricate, believably bleak, different POVs were distinct and in character, changes due to interaction fabulous and tension, oh the tension. The most interesting part is resentful overlooked Ned. What is he going to unleash, heavens what...

A shame this is ended, I was quite enjoying it.

Girl! this fic is awesome! could you consider update this story? you have 2 years and 8 months without update this fantastic fic! pleas update soon!

interesting to see how this tale unfolds. though id suggest holding off on updating unless you feel like it even if you do take up the pen again,... don't want to give people the wrong idea, you have some skill with word smithing btw. good luck in future.

What a fascinating AU. This is a unique premise and you follow through on it very well. I greatly enjoyed reading this. Thanks for sharing :)

oh damn tywin gonna be pissed! I love this! please continue!

THIS STORY IS AWESOME, i really was expecting someone taking eddard as a cunning man, so please please continue with this tale for gods sake!

Yeah no Tywin and his children are shit rulers it's why everything fell to pieces not to mention that Tywin doesn't understand Northern politics it's naive and childish of him (and you) to assume the political climate is the exact same in every part of the world.

I really love the idea of this fic, because I've always thought Ned has the potential to be really great if only he could get rid of his stupid honourable tendencies. I also like how you've shown Ned and Jaime's friendship and that Stannis and Benjen are going to be fostered together in the Vale. Jon Arryn will probably try to teach Stannis to compromise. I'd like to see more about Benjen and Stannis too.

I know this is an au but I just had a couple of questions about what you've changed apart from the fact ththat Ned is fostered in the Rock. As in, is Steffon Baratheon not going to die?

I also think this is my favourite characterisation of Tywin. His thoughts on his children and Ned's "stupid, honourable Northern ways" are just hilarious. Also your portrayal of Aerys' madness; burning all of Viserys' gifts is something he'd really do.

I really hope this story isn't abandoned because it's awesome and the only one which I can find with this premise :) I hope you'll update as soon as you have the time.
