What are some interesting ideas for a 'Game of Thrones' fanfic?

One idea could be a fanfic that focuses on the backstory of a minor character, like Gendry. Explore his life before he met Arya, how he survived on his own in King's Landing, and his early days as an apprentice to the blacksmith. Another could be a story set in a different part of Westeros during the events of the main series, perhaps in Dorne, and show how the political unrest there affected the common people. A third idea would be to create a fanfic where the White Walkers are not the main villains, but instead there is a new, more insidious threat emerging from within the Seven Kingdoms itself.

One idea could be to explore the backstories of minor characters in Yi Ti. For example, a young servant in a noble house who has dreams of rising above his station. He could get involved in political intrigues that mirror the larger power struggles in Westeros.

One idea could be exploring the breeding of dragons in a different way. Maybe a fanfic where characters try to breed dragons with unique traits by using magical or scientific means in the 'Game of Thrones' world. Another could be about the breeding of horses with special abilities for the knights to ride into battle. For example, horses that are faster or more resistant to the cold of the North.

One interesting plot idea could be exploring what would happen if a minor character, like Gendry, had secretly been trained in magic all along. He could use his newfound powers to try and claim the Iron Throne in a different way than the main characters. Another idea is a fanfic set in the past, showing how the relationship between the Starks and the Lannisters first started to sour. Maybe a long - forgotten event that set the stage for all their future conflicts.

Another idea is that Bran Stark uses his powers not just to be the king, but to bring back some of the characters who died in the original series. For example, he could bring back Ned Stark to help in the rebuilding of Westeros. This would be a huge change from the original ending and would give the story a more hopeful and redemptive feel.

One idea could be a fanfic where characters from different houses form an unlikely alliance to face a new, greater threat that was not in the original series. For example, a group of Stark, Lannister and Targaryen descendants coming together.

Well, for a 'Game of Thrones Crossover Fanfic', a cool concept would be to cross it with 'Narnia'. The Starks could find themselves in Narnia and have to deal with the White Witch. Also, crossing it with 'The Hunger Games' would be interesting. Picture the different houses competing in the Hunger Games - style battles. And how about a crossover with 'Sherlock Holmes'? Sherlock could solve the mysteries in King's Landing.

One idea could be a fanfic where a character discovers a long - lost magic spell that can control the weather. This could have a huge impact on the power struggles in Westeros. For example, if a small house had this power, they could use it to their advantage during battles or to gain more influence.

One idea could be to create a demon character who has the power to manipulate the minds of the main Game of Thrones characters. This demon could be working behind the scenes to cause chaos and further the power struggles already present in the story.

One idea could be Merlin being a hidden advisor to one of the major houses in Westeros. He uses his magic secretly to influence events and protect the realm, much like he did in the Merlin series but in the Game of Thrones setting.
