Fanfic / Hers Is the Fury

Go To

Victoria Baratheon was born with her mother's golden hair and her father's blue eyes. The heroine once known as Antares had never expected to live another life but given a second chance as the eldest princess of the Seven Kingdoms, she's going to make the most of it.
Author's Summary

On the continent of Westeros, Victoria Baratheon watches on as knights fight for glory in the Hand's Tourney, but she is far more focused on the strange memories that have plagued her as a child. Memories of golden buildings, horseless carriages, and power beyond her wildest dreams. The Game of Thrones has a new player in their midst...one who could ruin everything.

Hers Is The Fury by Ridtom is a Ward and A Song of Ice and Fire crossover, with Victoria Dallon being reborn as the eldest Baratheon child of King Robert and Queen Cersei.

Hers Is The Fury provides examples of:

  • The Ace:
    • Victoria is remarked on by Barristan Selmy that Grandmaester Pycelle speaks her praises for her studies and King Robert notes that she seems to truly strive with Knight training.
    • Applies to Timett son of Timett as well. When he was near Victoria's age, he took over the Burned Men clan in the Vale when he was only a teenager and Davas remarks on how he's killed multiple men twice his age easily.
  • Affably Evil: Little Finger and Varys are just as smarmy but polite in their scheming as in canon.
    • Davas might count as well. His plan for vengeance does lead to a lot of relatively innocent people being traumatized and dying as a result, regardless of how polite he may seem. Not helped when he's got Marquis' memories in his head, guiding him to an unknown extent.
  • Altar Diplomacy: Much like how Joffrey was arranged to marry Sansa Stark, Victoria is betrothed to Robb Stark.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: A rather darker example, where Victoria is mortified whenever her parents have public outbursts, not helped by the fact that they are the King and Queen of the entire Realm.
  • Arranged Marriage: See AltarDiplomacy above.
  • The Atoner: Played with by Davas. He fled the Burned Men clan because of the uncontrollable fear of the coming-of-age ritual involving burning off small bits of flesh or limbs, abandoning his mother Aryna Waynwood to the "mercy" of his brother and father. Learning that she took her life before he could barter for her freedom did not go over well.
  • Awesomeness by Analysis: King Robert, surprisingly enough. He notices the horse trick Loras Tyrell pulls against the Mountain before even Victoria does.
  • Awful Wedded Life: King Robert and Queen Cersei for sure. Much to Victoria's embarrassment and later horror once she learns of her father's abuses.
  • Batman Gambit: Davas spent years organizing a means of having the Burned Men raid the Eyrie and capture the Lady Regent and her son. Not for any control over the Eyrie itself but to instead force the armies of the Vale to retaliate and destroy the Burned Men once and for all.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Victoria leaps to the defence of Loras Tyrell when he's attacked by the Mountain. And she herself is saved by the Hound a few moments later.
  • Blood Knight: Gregor Clegane, the Mountain That Rides. Even nearly killing Victoria, his benefactor's granddaughter and princess of the realm, and still keeps on fighting.
  • Loved by All: Victoria appears to be this for now. The minor lords and ladies in Kings Landing seem to enjoy her company, she has programs to help the smallfolk, and can even get Cersei and Robert to not fight (sometimes).
  • Perfectly Arranged Marriage: Downplayed since they're not actually married yet, but Victoria and Robb get along quite well.
