Game of Thrones: The Odd-Fish
Our protagonist was in the real world a teenager whose not-so-shitty future was crushed when he was diagnosed with a disease from which he had almost no chance to come out alive. As expected, he didn’t beat the odds and died.
But that wasn’t the end. As you have probably guessed (if you have read the tags), death offered him a second chance. A chance to live again… in a world of swords, kings, and dragons.
Reborn as William Tully in the year 263 AC, one year after Robert Baratheon's birth and thirty-five years before the beginning of the events of Game of Thrones, William is no ordinary nobleman. He is the son of Brynden Tully, the man who, in this altered timeline, never became the 'Blackfish'. Giving in to the pressures of his older brother Hoster, Brynden married, and through this union, William was born.
One thing that didn't change in this version however; The Riverlands remain as fragmented and overlooked as ever, a land known for the pragmatism and the resilience of its people, the richness of its soil, nourished by the numerous rivers that weave through the land, but never its power.
But William has plans. Armed with memories of his past life, the knowledge of what's to come and (not too OP) wishes, he isn’t content with the Riverlands being a mere footnote in Westerosi politics. His ambitions soar far higher. His goal? To turn the Riverlands into a mighty kingdom, one that commands respect, fear, and prestige far beyond its reputation as the forgotten 'sage child' of Westeros.
In this story, you will follow William as he maneuvers his way through the dangerous political landscape of Westeros. He will forge alliances, make enemies and challenge the very balance of power in a world where the game of thrones spares no one. Alongside him, familiar and new faces, some canon, others invented, will shape his journey into an uncertain future, where the Riverlands could rise to greatness, fall into flames, or both.
