A fanfic combining 'Game of Thrones' and 'The Last Ship' could be really interesting. It might involve characters from both universes facing new challenges. For example, the political intrigue of 'Game of Thrones' could be merged with the post - apocalyptic setting of 'The Last Ship'. Maybe the sailors from 'The Last Ship' end up in Westeros and get involved in the power struggles there.
Well, the characters could exchange skills. The sailors from 'The Last Ship' might teach the people of Westeros about navigation and modern weaponry. In return, the Westerosi could show them the ways of courtly intrigue and the use of magic if there is any left. This interaction could create some really unique plotlines.
One great fanfic could be about Arya Stark rebuilding Winterfell as the last Stark. It might explore how she uses her skills she learned during her travels to bring back the glory of her family's home. She could train new guards, establish trade routes, and make Winterfell a stronghold again.
The last wish might be related to relationships. A character could wish to reconcile with a loved one before death. In the complex world of 'Game of Thrones' fanfic, where politics and power often come between people, this would add a lot of emotional depth. For instance, a Stark wishing to make peace with a Lannister family member.
In some fanfics, Arya Stark might be presented as the last Stark, but it really depends on the specific plot and direction the fanfic author takes. There could be plot twists where other Starks are revealed to still be alive.
One way to make it compelling is to have the last wish be unexpected. Instead of the typical wishes like saving a loved one, make it something unique. Maybe a character wishes to destroy a powerful magical artifact that has been causing more harm than good. Also, give the character obstacles in trying to fulfill their last wish. This could include other characters who oppose them for various reasons.
One common theme is hope. In a world full of chaos and destruction, the characters in 'last ship fanfic' often strive to find and hold onto hope. It could be hope for a better future, hope for finding land, or hope for the safety of their loved ones. Another theme is the concept of community. The crew on the ship forms a community, and fanfics explore how this community functions, the rules within it, and how they support each other. Adventure is also a common theme as they are on a ship exploring the unknown.
Another idea for a fanfic is that Arya discovers she's not really the last Stark. There could be a long - lost relative hidden away. She then embarks on a journey to find this person. Along the way, she has to overcome many obstacles and face new enemies, all while trying to keep the hope of the Stark family alive.
Arryn's last wish could also impact the fanfic by altering the political landscape. For example, if the wish is to make Daenerys a more benevolent ruler from the start. She might not have made some of the controversial decisions she did in the original story, which would have led to different reactions from the people and other rulers.
