Fire Beneath The Snow by LisaAnnWollstonecraft

Summary
Lyarra Snow has spent her life in the shadow of Winterfell.
Bastard-born and marked by strange purple eyes, she's always known she belongs to House Stark only by sufferance. Lady Catelyn’s coldness, rumors of a lost Dornish mother, and the ache of being almost, but never truly, one of Ned Stark’s children have shaped her into a girl desperate for place, purpose and the home she fears she can never fully claim.
When Lord Eddard rides south and tragedy strikes Winterfell, Lyarra steps into duties no one expected of her. Beside Robb Stark, she helps hold the castle together, counsels him, and becomes close to the lady she always dreamed of being.
But power is never clean, and neither is love. As Robb calls the banners, the bond between them deepens into a secret neither duty nor shame can untangle. Lyarra rides with him as counselor, sister, lover, and would-be lady, determined to help him save their father and sisters from the lions’ claws.
Yet war awakens more than ambition. Wolf dreams, crows, dead kings, and dragonfire haunt her sleep, while old secrets stir.
Lyarra Snow wants Winterfell.
The gods may have made her for something far more dangerous.

Summary
It was a monstrous jape, she thought bitterly. Proof that the gods did not exist, or worse – that they delighted in her torment. She had slipped free of death's cold grasp, had escaped that dreadful match with Lord Manderly, only to be shackled to Vaegon instead.
Her cold, strange brother, who looked through her like she was some riddle he had no interest in solving.
Handsome enough, she supposed. Tall. Intelligent, she could admit.
But what did it matter when every word from his mouth made her seethe?

Maester Aemon's Guide to Duty by FenceSittersAnonymous

Summary
“Seventy years we will give you back, a gift of life you should have had, but nothing gained is ever free, paid in years they shall not see.”
The deal is made. Yet when Maester Aemon wakes up, sure that it was but a cruel dream and he is still alive with the regrets of a lifetime consuming him, he expects to hear Samwell Tarly and Gilly and to still be at sea.
Instead, he finds himself in a feather bed in chambers he has not seen in over seventy years, in a time he has no business being in, and with a man he had not hoped to see again sat by his bedside.
Yet even the Gods can’t predict just how differently things go. Really, he should have known better than to expect changing the future to be simple.

Summary
With six treacherous knives in his heart, Jon is forced on an unwilling voyage through the cold and the dark in the flesh of another.
What happens when he's eventually forced back?
It was always said that sorcery is a sword without a hilt, and that both its price and its outcome could be both wondrous and horrendous indeed, for all.
How will Westeros deal with the resurrected Black Bastard, whose famous honor seems to lie forgotten in favor of newfound ruthlessness? Whose father's lessons seem to have been buried beneath the many shards of his shattered memories?
How will the Boltons and their allies handle a Jon whose savagery rivals and surpasses Ramsay's own?
How will Howland Reed handle reuniting with the son of the woman who once saved him, only to bear witness to what he has become?
How will Daenerys deal with this broken warrior of a man, who terrifies her as much as he excites her? The savage power of Drogo with the charisma of Daario and none of the swagger.
Or: A broken and shattered Book!Jon wakes up in the showverse and makes it everyone’s problem.

Our Tragedy Was Love but the Dream of Spring Brings Hope by MaxWizTavern

Summary
Ned Stark, known as the quiet wolf, has all his life been brought South for the grand Tourney of Harrenhall. He found himself stumbling over his own words as his elder brother thrust him into a dance with the most beautiful lady of the realm, Ashara Dayne. What many couldn’t believe, nor was he thinking of finding love in the cursed place of Harrenhall.
This story follows two separate timeline arcs, each leading toward vastly different futures. As you read, starting at chapter five, you may choose which path you prefer as the true course of this world: one shaped more heavily by grief, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of war, while the other leans toward healing, family, and the fragile hope of spring. In the end, the choice of which story truly lives belongs to you :)
All credit goes to George R.R. Martin. This story differs from the original, though many of the characters are from canon.

Summary
Three years have passed since the Dragonborn's Peace. There is skirmishing in High Rock and Hammerfell against the Thalmor, but as yet no large renewal of the War. Meanwhile the location of the Dragonborn himself is known to no one. Yet there are those who are searching for him and his companion.
At the same time, Brelyna Maryon, Wizard of the College of Winterhold, is engaged in research that leads her eventually to the island of Solstheim. Only she does not go alone.
Part 3 of "Dark Skies and Dragonfire." Part 1 covered the Dawnguard story arc; Part 2 dealt with the main questlines. This one will loosely follow the events of Dragonborn and conclude the story.
Lore-friendly but at most canon-adjacent.

Summary
Serana, Daughter of Coldharbour, and Alexien, a mage formerly of Winterhold, are eager to continue their travels and enjoy their well earned rest in peace. But Fate, and the Daedric Lord thereof, have other plans for them. When dragons return and Skyrim erupts into civil war, they have to find a way to hold everything together – including themselves.
Part 2 of "Dark Skies and Dragonfire," following immediately on the events of "Darkness with Light," which I recommend you read first. Part 1 covered the Dawnguard story arc; this one goes through the main questlines; later, Part 3 will deal with the events of Dragonborn.
Lore-friendly, but with lots of world-building.

Summary
With Harkon defeated and Tamriel saved from eternal night, Vitus Demirio, former blacksmith turned Dragonborn, sets his eyes upon an even greater threat looming over Nirn: Alduin, the World-Eater, whose return heralds not only the end of the world, but an end to Time itself.
Alongside his two most trusted companions, Serana Volkihar and Inigo the Brave, Vitus must discover his place in the ancient prophecy that foretold the dragons’ return. As the three heroes dive deeper into Skyrim’s secrets, Vitus finds himself haunted by visions of the future as he seeks to unravel the mysteries of the past. In a quest that leads from the Throat of the World to the gates of Aetherius, the lines between hero and monster begin to blur, and Vitus realizes Alduin is not just his enemy...but his reflection.
Facing daedra, dragons, and even the gods themselves, Vitus must decide whether his destiny lies in defying fate, or embracing it. And each choice will determine whether Nirn is saved, or if everything he has ever known and loved will be devoured by a dragon’s teeth.
Is the Last Dragonborn truly destined to stop the apocalypse—or is he merely part of a cycle fated to end this Kalpa so a new one can be born?Series
