Fics like The She-Wolves of Winterfell

Can't wait for GRRM to publish the fourth Dunk and Egg novella? Neither could I. So I wrote it. The She-Wolves of Winterfell. ~38,000 words. I went through all three novellas and The World of Ice and Fire, mapped every Stark from Cregan to little Artos, and tried to get as close to GRRM's voice as I could. Every detail is canon-sourced. Dunk and Egg ride north through the Neck, past the ruins of Moat Cailin, and into a land where knights are unknown and the old gods hold sway. At Winterfell, Lord Beron Stark lies dying. Five Stark women circle his empty chair, each with their own claim and their own claws. They call them the She-Wolves. Dunk came for the Wall. He stopped for silver. He stayed for bread and salt. Now he's tangled in a succession crisis he cannot understand, with a mule that has opinions and a squire who knows too much. For everyone waiting for Season 2, or for the day the real She-Wolves sees the light. This is the closest I could get. Updated April 2026. Thanks to Stenric (Reddit), Brinady, MythicalCusband, and Alien99 (AO3) for catching what I'd missed: canon, gruffness, the reunion, Tanselle, travel time, battle scale. All fixed.
