She wants the silence, but hates the solitude.

LYARRA SNOW KNOWS WHAT SHE IS.

The bastard born daughter of Ned Stark has never been allowed to forget her place in the world. How could she, when everyone around her makes sure to remind her that she might have her father's blood and his looks, but his last name does not belong to her.

Lady Stark rarely acknowledges her existence and when she does, it is only to remind Lyarra that she is less than. Her younger sister enjoys reminding Lyarra that she's the true born daughter, even if Lyarra is the elder of them.

Even her brother, who shared the same womb as her reminds her constantly that they're less than. Though, he brings himself down far more than he ever does her and is the first to defend Lyarra when anything horrible is said about her.

Lyarra longs for more, she knows many have it much worse than her but she can't help but hope that one day her father will find it in himself to legitimise her and Jon. She knows he loves her, the way he calms her down after a dream and does not allow Lady Stark to send them away (even after she begs) proves that. Lyarra wants more, she can't help it.

She also wants to stop being plagued strange dreams. One night without visions of silver-haired knights, dragons flying in the sky and daggers piercing hearts would bring her peace.

. . . THE CAST OF HEART OF FIRE!

LYARRA SNOW   /   MILLIE BRADY.
BASTARD OF WINTERFELL!

Ned Stark's bastard daughter was born more wolf than girl. She came into the world howling, covered in her mother's blood and shrouded in the secrecy of the moon's light.

Why would I care about any of them? What have they ever done for me— other than fill my heart with loneliness and hatred?

How many heads does the dragon have again?

Welcome!! Lyarra has been in the works for a very long time now. She originally started as a pinterest board that I had no interest to create into an actual character but then I started making edits for her and she turned into a living breathing thing.
There are many, many, parallels between her and Lyanna that will be explored in this book.
Just a warning, Sansa and Catelyn and many other characters you might like will not be portrayed in a very nice light, because Lyarra isn't their hugest fan. However, some characters that maybe Lyarra shouldn't like, she does.
You can find my edits for her at artemisvex on tiktok, but warning there will be SPOILERS for many, many things.
This book is largely based off the books, and a little of the show. Jon snow is NOT Aegon Targaryen, because Young Griff exists in this fic.
This fic has MANY problematic themes and please don't read if you can't handle them!
Trigger warning for: death, gore, incest/targcest, pedophilia, sexism, slavery, manipulation, classism, sexual assault, animal abuse, threats of violence, grooming, abusive relationships, and relationships with problematic age gaps.
I went with Kit as Jon because that's who they use in the show but actual Jon to me looks more like Harry Collett.
