    I mean I think that’s something I just disagree with you about with respect to fanfic. Like, I think it's perfectly fine for Worm fanfics to not worry about whether or not their alt-power or AU or divergence means that everyone dies in fifteen years during the Golden Morning, and I count Others...

    This is true and the highest level "Song of Ice and Fire" stuff would have to be butterflied away. Either Daenerys dies without getting dragons or never gets dragons or she decides that she can't even remember Westeros and just builds her own empire in Essos. The Others cut a deal with the...

    As the Westerlands fight a desperate, losing battle agains the Numenorian armies, Tywin finds a certain ring. Or just in general - add Sauron or Morgoth to the bad guys, or make the Numenorians the bad guys.

    IMO you ought to flesh out a bit more of what said SI is up against. The Vale was the hotbed of the Faith of the Seven, the place where IIRC the andals first landed in Westeros. Burning out everyone rival power base is going to leave the Targs with fewer rivals once they do it... but while...
