This is my Game of Thrones/The Hobbit Crossover.
I had a different idea for this story originally, but I decided do it a bit differently than a usual crossover.
I chose to have certain houses arrive to King's Landing, the Dragon Pit more specifically, with Melisandre managing to use her magic to enhance a Palantíri's power to make everyone see through it.
The known world of Westeros is a world Eru Ilúvatar created after the first defeat of Melkor, and it will not be the first time that the two realms have encountered one another, more will be revealed in the later chapters.
Side notes, the characters are based on the actors who portrayed them, but with the look of how they are described in the books.
Dialogue.
- "Westeros".
- "Middle-Earth".
- ""Middle-Earth speaking another language"".
Prologue.
King's Landing, Dragon Pit.
No on understood why certain houses were invited to King's Landing, let alone why King Robert was convinced by Stannis' red priestess to do as such.
King Robert Baratheon, Queen Cersei Lannister and their three children Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen Baratheon were the first to arrive in the Dragon Pit.
The only Kingsguard at their side was Ser Barristan Selmy and Ser Jaime Lannister, the latter of whom is the Queen's twin brother.
Then came Tyrion Lannister, the Queen's youngest brother, he is walking beside Jaime.
The two brothers are clearly taking about something for it made Jaime laugh.
At a distance from the King, is Stannis Baratheon, the eldest of King Robert's younger brothers, his wife Selyse Baratheon formerly Florent is by his right side and their daughter Shireen Baratheon is by his left, no one would have known the princess barely survived greyscale, let alone baring no scars from it.
Only reason she did not have any or still alive is because of the red priestess Melisandre, who made an appearance to King's Landing years ago, arriving to King's Landing and offering to aid Stannis Baratheon on saving the ill Shireen Baratheon.
The red priestess used her abilities from her Lord of Light, to heal the princess' scarred face after the maesters were able to stop the greyscale from spreading.
Since that day, Melisandre became one of Stannis Baratheon's close advisors in court, with his wife even converting to the Lord of Light had heard her prayers on saving her daughter when the Seven did not. Her reputation in Westeros did not help when she slowly converted many to the Lord of Light, after word spread of her abilities.
Rumors have been spread, that both King Robert and Stannis have been seduced by the red priestess on more than one occasion, but nothing has ever been proven on either brother.
Not far from Stannis' direction is his most loyal bannerman Ser Davos Seaworth, a former smuggler turned knight and sworn to Stannis Baratheon, most of his sons squired under Stannis for years and is considered to be Stannis' right hand man.
The King's youngest brother Renly Baratheon is not too far from Stannis and his family, in fact he is beside his niece Shireen, who is telling her uncle the history of the Dragon Pit. Stannis looked annoyed of his younger brother, who encouraged Shireen to continue telling the story of the Dragon Pit.
The Hand of the King Jon Arryn and his wife Lysa Arryn, formerly Tully were next to enter the Dragon Pit, the latter looked disgusted at being near the area, the reason their son Robyn Arryn isn't at the Dragon Pit with them, is because Lysa felt he was too sickly to join them and left him in the Tower of the Hand with loyal soldiers.
The banners of House Tyrell and Tarly can be seen, Lady Olenna Tyrell formerly Redwyne, her son Lord Mace Tyrell who is the Lord of Highgarden and Warden of the Reach, next to him is his second son Garlan.
Mace Tyrell lost his two youngest children Margaery and Loras nine years ago, when Loras fell off a boat and Margaery tried to catch him, only for a wave to hit the boat and caused her to fall overboard as well.
Not too far from them are Randyll Tarly, his wife Lady Melessa Tarly formerly Florent and is the cousin to Selyse Florent, their two youngest children are with them Dickon and Talia Tarly. Dickon is Randyll's heir, after his original heir Samwell Tarly drowned in a pond and his body was never found, the Lord of Horn Hill doesn't even seem to mourn his son like his wife.
House Greyjoy banners can be seen, Lord Balon Greyjoy has aged the last time King Robert saw the bitter ironborn after he crushed his failed rebellion, he is walking right beside his daughter Yara Greyjoy, who looks surprisingly happy to be at the capitol.
House Tully banners can be spotted, Ser Brynden 'The Blackfish' Tully is walking next to his nephew and heir of Riverrun, Edmure Tully, who runs to his sister Lysa and gives her a hug.
While the two siblings are catching up, they see the banners of House Stark.
Lord Eddard Stark is seen with his wife Lady Catelyn Stark formerly Tully, their eldest daughter Sansa Stark is the spitting image of her mother, the youngest daughter Arya Stark seems to have taken her father's Stark features such as grey eyes, long face and dark brown hair. Their second son Brandon 'Bran' Stark is right beside Arya, Bran like his sister Sansa, takes after their mother, having the auburn hair and blue eyes.
Lord Stark lost two of his children, Robb Stark and his bastard son Jon Snow, as well as his ward Theon Greyjoy, to this day no one knows what truly happened to their disappearance, Lord Stark never truly did recover from it.
As it caused conflict between him and his wife Catelyn Stark formerly Tully, when she accused Jon Snow of showing his 'true colors' and killed Robb, while Theon and Jon ended up killing each other, either way Catelyn lived in her own quarters for nearly a year until finally the reconciled with the birth of their youngest son Rickon.
Sadly it was never the same, the distance between them can be seen clearly.
Which led to Ned Stark offering his bannerman to foster their children, the houses that accepted the call is House Mormont, Umber and Karstark.
For House Mormont, it was Lyanna Mormont, Maege Mormont's youngest daughter and best friends with both Arya and Bran Stark, but is closer with Arya than Bran, due to his friendship Ned Umber who is the grandson of Lord Jon 'Greatjon' Umber, Alys Karstark the granddaughter of Rickard Karstark is friends with Sansa.
Lord Glover and Manderly's children Lord Stark fostered, remained in Winterfell to keep young Rickon Stark company due nearly everyone came to King's Landing and Ned didn't want his youngest son feel alone, even Alys chose to stay behind to make sure Rickon kept on his studies with Maester Luwin.
Lord Stark could see his two youngest children talking to Lyanna Mormont, who is joined to the hip on both Arya and Bran at the time being, not too far from Lyanna is her own sworn sword, who so happens to her older sister Lyra Mormont.
A woman whom Lord Stark once thought of being a possible match for Jon Snow, sadly it can no longer happen for Jon is missing along with Robb and Theon for nine years.
Once King Robert spots Lord Stark, the King charged towards his best friend and wrapping him a bear hug.
"Gods be damned Ned, it's so good to see you." King Robert said loudly.
No one could deny how happy the King was upon seeing Lord Stark, the Warden of the North smiles at his friend and managed to keep his shocked expression hidden of Robert's weight gain.
"You too, your grace." Ned greeting his King.
Robert scoffs at this before greeting Catelyn, who was planning to see her own brother and sister.
"Cat', it has been too long." The King boasts to her, before wrapping her in a hug.
Lady Stark was speechless of the tight grip, while Arya and Bran are struggling to contain their laughter at the scene, making the King laugh in return.
"Ah, these must be your children Ned?" Robert asks Ned, who nods at the King's question.
"From left to right, my eldest daughter Sansa, my youngest daughter Arya and my son Bran." Ned introduces his children to the King.
The King shakes their hands before ruffling Bran's hair and laughing it off.
"I'm sorry to hear about your boys, I remember hearing about what happened." Robert rather bluntly says to him.
Ned took a deep breath, before he can answer, Jon Arryn interferes and greets Ned.
"Ned, it's been a long time hasn't it." Jon Arryn in his elderly age greets his former foster son.
Lord Stark smiles at seeing Jon Arryn, hugging his foster father.
"You too Jon Arryn." Ned said back to the Hand of the King.
Once the Warden of the North noticed several houses of the realm within the Dragon Pit, Lord Stark grows worry.
"Why did you bring us all here your grace?" Ned asks the King in a concerning manner.
Robert scoffs at his question, looking annoyed.
"Damn priestess said something about 'seeing through the flames' to see what happened to the lot who vanished all those years ago." The King answers Ned, clearly not believing it.
While everyone begins introducing themselves, Sansa while lonely sat next to Arya and Bran, over the past few years Sansa and Arya have somewhat gotten along and Bran is often the main reason, often the voice of reason between his older sisters.
Shireen awkwardly waves at Bran, who returns the favor, while Arya, Sansa and Lyanna both look at him in a comic disapproving manner.
Due to Cersei keeping a short leash on Myrcella and Tommen, something the two children look saddened by not able to play with the other children.
Leading Joffrey to start mocking his younger siblings.
"Why would you two want to spend time with the likes of those filthy savages of the North." Joffrey spat in disgust towards Bran, Lyanna and Arya.
The comment was heard by the likes of Ned and Catelyn, Sansa seems to have been shocked of the prince insulting her family, while Renly introduces himself to the younger children.
"Ignore my nephew, everyone seems to do so, with the exception of Cersei." Renly cheerfully says to the children, making them giggle at his comment.
Catelyn begins catching up with her sister, brother and uncle while this was happening, Lysa tells them of her son Robyn isn't feeling well so she left him inside, much against Jon Arryn's protest.
When that was happening, Melisandre takes the center of the dragon pit, Arya and Bran were shocked of her presence and how she calmly entered the scene, Sansa meanwhile joins her mother and meets her aunt and uncles.
"The Lord of Light has brought us here to uncover what happened to the missing children of the lords and ladies of the land, who disappeared nine years ago." The red priestess proclaimed to gather their attention
Making a strange marking on the ground before them, everyone stare at her in disbelief.
The red priestess finishes on what she was doing, turning to the rest of her audience, giving them an emotionless expression.
"The Lord of Light has shown me through the flames of their survival. The children are in another realm. A realm that is not our own, and one that is older than our own." Melisandre said aloud.
Everyone watched Melisandre, have one of Stannis' men hand her some box, containing a strange black orb.
"This stone has been in the Lord of Light's hands, since it was given to us by the Company of the Rose to repay a debt they made long ago." Melisandre explains the orb, while making direct contact towards Lord Stark.
Something that went unnoticed by Lady Catelyn, glaring cold dagger towards the red priestess.
"The stone holds powerful magic, unlike Westeros or the known world has ever seen. With this stone before me, and the power of the Lord of Light. We shall see where the missing are to be found." Melisandre calls out.
Davos and the Northerners look uncomfortable, especially Ned, Lyra, Lyanna, Arya and Bran, the latter three show hints of fear.
While Lysa turns to Edmure, Brynden and Catelyn, happy to see them, before she can even say a word.
Melisandre begins chanting once she places the orb in the center of the ground.
For the following few minutes, Melisandre finished her chants, no one said a thing, nor did Melisandre who looks confused at first glance.
"We were brought here for this mad woman's false god?" Balon Greyjoy spat out in disgust.
Ironically Randyll Tarly agreed with the ironborn and shown detest, even Cersei and Olenna, Lysa and Catelyn included.
Only for their thoughts of disbelief to end once the stone begins glowing, and Melisandre smiles in relief, continuing the chant until the stone's flame expands.
The flame coming off of the orb begin to show glimpses of this new world, causing everyone to sit down in disbelief of what they had just seen.
Magic has returned to Westeros.
Melisandre smiles greatly on what she did moments ago, before she turns to the large group.
"The Lord of Light has shown us a new world. Even I do not know the origin of this world, though we can see and hear what transpires in this realm. But they cannot hear or see us." Melisandre informs the many nobles in the dragon pit.
After the red priestess said these words.
Ned Stark sat down, lost in thought, he hopes Robb and Jon are well, it has been a long nine years for the Lord of Winterfell since he had lost them both, including his ward Theon Greyjoy.
He hopes Lyanna could forgive him for not being there for her son.
Not noticing Melisandre stared upon Lord Stark, before continuing on.
The End of the Prologue.
Hope you all enjoy the prologue.
I plan to upload Chapters 1 and 2 soon.
This story will cover up the entire Hobbit Trilogy, I'll try my best and add some elements from the book itself, but it has been a while since I read the book and just finished watching the extended editions of said trilogy.
But I can assure you all in advance, there won't be a Kili/Tauriel/Legolas triangle of any kind.
For my casting of Garlan Tyrell, I am going with Jamie Dornan.
For Lyra Mormont, I am going with Marie Avgeropoulos
The reason I had Melisandre come to Westeros sooner than canon, is due to the change of the timeline when certain Westerosi characters vanished, leading Melisandre to show up a handful of years earlier.
Her early arrival led to her involvement of curing Shireen of her greyscale while some of Stannis' bannerman were slowly converted to the Lord of Light
