Hot Pie could be the unexpected hero. He might use his baking skills in an unexpected way. For instance, he creates a special type of bread that has some sort of magical property. This bread could be used to heal the wounded or even give the soldiers who eat it superhuman strength during a battle against a powerful enemy.
Perhaps a character who was thought to be dead suddenly returns with new powers. For example, if Ned Stark came back as a warg, able to control animals and use that to his advantage in the power struggles of Westeros. It would completely change the dynamics as the other characters would have to deal with his unexpected resurrection and new abilities.
Well, it could revolve around a particular event in the 'Game of Thrones' universe where someone uses their wits or skills just in time. Maybe it's a story about a character who seizes an opportunity at the right moment to gain power or save someone they care about. For example, a character might step in to stop a betrayal just before it's too late, similar to how a stitch in time saves nine in real - life situations. It could also be a more fantastical take, like using magic at a crucial moment.
It's hard to tell without reading it. However, it might introduce new characters that interact with the well - known ones. It could be a story about a commoner who becomes important because of a timely action. But it's also very likely that the main characters are the ones we already know from the original series. For instance, Arya Stark could be a main character if the fanfic is about her exacting revenge at a crucial moment, which would be in line with the 'stitch in time' idea of taking action at the right time.
There are various types. Some might focus on alternate timelines or character development that wasn't explored in the original show.
Perhaps Dwight Enys from Poldark and Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. Dwight is a healer and a man of science in his world, while Arya is a trained assassin. The idea of them coming together, with Arya maybe getting some medical help from Dwight or Dwight learning some of Arya's survival skills, would be quite unexpected and could lead to a unique fanfiction plot.
How about Hot Pie? He's a simple baker boy. But imagine if he somehow stumbled upon a dragon egg and became a rider. His journey from baking pies to riding a dragon would be full of comical and also heart - warming moments as he tries to fit into the world of dragon riders.
Time travel in a Game of Thrones fanfiction can have a huge impact on the storyline. If a character travels forward in time, they could bring back knowledge of future events and try to prevent disasters. Or if they travel back, they might accidentally change things that were meant to happen. This could lead to different characters rising to power or falling from grace. For example, if a time traveler influenced Tyrion's trial, the outcome could change his entire future and the future of the Lannisters.
There's also 'Through the Veil of Time in Westeros'. This one stands out because it not only has time travel but also delves deep into the magic and mythology of the 'Game of Thrones' world. The protagonist travels through time and discovers secrets about the origin of magic in Westeros that were previously unknown, and their actions in the past start to have a ripple effect on the present and future of the Seven Kingdoms.
It's not too hard. First, you need to find a suitable pattern of the characters or scenes from Game of Thrones. Then, choose the right colors of threads and start stitching carefully.
Another popular theme is the exploration of magic. In the show, magic was a bit inconsistent in its use. Fanfiction writers often delve deeper into the magic system, creating stories where characters develop new magical abilities or where magic plays a more prominent role in the overall plot. For example, a story could be about a character becoming a powerful sorcerer and using magic to unite the Seven Kingdoms in a different way than in the original story.
