The very last episode of Game of Thrones aired on Sunday, which means that — unless George R. R. Martin kicks it into turbo gear — we won't be getting any new GoT content any time soon...
Or any Season 8 remakes, for that matter.
But we do have the wide, wonderful world of Game of Thrones fanfiction to help us fill in the gaps from the show and imagine all the alternate storylines we could possibly want!
The Game of Thrones TV show section under fanfiction.net has almost 4,000 stories alone, if you've got the time.
So, to help all you fans achieve a little closure (and maybe work through some frustrations with that finale), here are 15 of the best and most creative Game of Thrones fanfiction stories we've come across:
If we missed your fave, leave a recommendation in the comments! Now more than ever, we have to be there for each other, you guys.
1. If you're super invested in Arya, read "Blood and Waters."
What if Arya hadn't defeated the Night King that night in the godswood and instead, with Bran's help, time travelled back to her 11-year-old self at the beginning of the events of Season 1? How would she try to meddle with the events of the past — and importantly, what would she do differently about Gendry?? You've got 20 installments in this story to find out!
This short story takes the perspective of one of the Lannister swordsmen as he witnesses the fall of King's Landing and the havoc that Drogon and Daenerys brings upon the city's residents.
3. If a small part of you died when Ser Jorah died, read "The Dragon's Lament."
Over 12 chapters, this story explores the way Daenerys would have mourned the death of her loyal advisor and protector, and what might have happened if the Mother of Dragons tried to bring her valiant knight back from the dead...
4. If you miss all that Tywin Lannister and Arya Stark banter, read "A Wolf Amongst Lions."
Remember back when Tywin made Arya his cupbearer, not knowing her true identity? Well, what if he DID know, and tried to use her as a bargaining chip in the war with Robb Stark? Over 85 chapters (buckle up), this saga explores how everything could have turned out differently, and also includes plenty of that great Tywin vs. Arya banter that was the best part of Season 2.
This 76-chaptered fanfiction dives in deep on Arya Stark's story from Season 2, when she's wandering around with Hot Pie and Gendry, into full adulthood, and does plenty of theorizing about her life as a wife and mother.
What if Napoleon Bonaparte, as his army was retreating from the Russian frontier, came up against the Wall, the Night's Watch, and of course, the Night King??? This story's got seven very meaty chapters full of historical references and real world x Westeros crossover.
7. If you want more ~Arya as assassin but also time traveler~ content, read "People to Kill."
In this fanfiction, Arya is transported back to the time of the Mad King's reign, where she has another list of people to kill, naturally.
8. If you had a huge crush on Jaime Lannister, read "A Vow Without Honor."
This one's a good old fashioned romance fanfic, revolving around Jaime Lannister and an original character, Myra Stark, who's apparently the twin sibling of Robb Stark. Cue romantic tension and a lot of Kingslayer thirst.
9. If you think we should have gotten more scenes with Cersei at the end, read "Inevitable."
"After the loss of her last living child, a desperate Cersei will do anything to keep her crown and prevent the final part of her prophecy from coming true. Even marrying Euron Greyjoy. To further ensure she will not succumb to the prophecy's dark end she has Maggy brought to The Red Keep and interrogates her as to how to prevent her fate." CLICK.
This Baratheon-centric saga explores an alternate universe where Stannis did have sons, and they all lived to adulthood and helped their father exact revenge on everyone who took the throne away from their family. Apparently there's a Robb/Shireen romance in this one, so, ya know, do with that what you will.
What if Robert Baratheon had actually died at the Battle of the Trident and Stannis had taken the Iron Throne instead (with Ser Davos at his side, of course!)? We also get both Edd and Lyanna Stark alive in this one, which stretches out over 24 chapters and counting.
This one's only three chapters in, but it poses interesting questions about what an alternative route for Sansa to return to Winterfell could have looked like, especially if she was able to help Robb keep the crown and his head.
13. If you love Jon and Arya's reunion before "The Long Night," read "At the Dawn."
This short piece imagines what it was like for Jon to stumble into the godswood, find Arya and Bran right after the defeat of the Night King, and realize that the living had won.
14. If you wish we'd gotten more of Maester Aemon, read "The Night Dragons."
This saga, which has NINETY chapters, follows the story of Maester Aemon who, as you might recall, was a Targaryen: "Before the battle at Castle Black, Maester Aemon tasked Grenn with delivering a message to his niece in Mereen. After the battle, Maester Aemon reveals that he has kept secrets of his own while serving at Castle Black, including two dragon eggs."
15. And finally, if you shipped Jon and Dany real hard, read "A Dream of Dragons."
In a slightly alternate universe, Jon and Daenerys grow up on opposite sides of the world but are able to share their dreams with each other and communicate. Eventually, of course, they find their way together.
