How would Ned Stark's character change if he became King in Game of Thrones fanfiction?

One interesting storyline could be Ned Stark ruling justly in King's Landing. He might reform the corrupt systems in place. For example, he could ensure fair trials and end the excessive use of power by the nobles. This would likely earn him both respect and enemies among the powerful families. He could also focus on strengthening the city's defenses and improving the living conditions of the smallfolk, which would be a departure from the self - serving rule of many previous kings.

One simple way in fanfiction could be through some kind of magic. Maybe there's a powerful red priestess who discovers Ned's body before it's fully decomposed. She uses her magic to resurrect him, much like Thoros of Myr did with Beric Dondarrion. Once back, Ned could play a major role in the political games again, this time with more knowledge and a thirst for revenge against those who wronged him and his family.

Another fanfiction could be about Jon Snow (who is later revealed to be Ned Stark's son). In this story, he could fully embrace his Targaryen heritage much earlier. He might form an alliance with Daenerys not as an equal but as a leader, using his knowledge of the North and the loyalty of the Night's Watch to help her claim the Iron Throne in a more peaceful way.

In a Ned Stark becomes king fanfiction, the story would deviate greatly from the original. Ned's leadership style is very different from those who came before. He would probably focus on building a more unified kingdom based on loyalty and honor. This could mean changes in how the courts are run and how justice is dispensed. His children might grow up with different expectations and opportunities. For example, Arya could be trained in a more formal way for a role in court rather than having to flee for her life.

A plot twist could be that Ned Stark's son Arya (disguised as a boy for most of her journey) is actually a secret weapon trained by the Faceless Men not just for personal vengeance but to be a political pawn. She could be used by some powerful force to manipulate the balance of power among the kingdoms.

Sansa Stark is a complex character in Game of Thrones fanfiction. She starts as a naive girl dreaming of a fairytale life. In fanfiction, she often evolves into a strong, politically astute woman. Writers explore her growth from a victim of circumstance to a shaper of her own destiny. For example, some fanfics might focus on how she uses her knowledge of the courts to outwit her enemies and gain power in the chaotic world of Westeros.

In the fanfiction world, Ned Stark might kill Littlefinger if he discovers Littlefinger's true manipulative nature early on. Maybe he finds proof of Littlefinger's role in some of the political schemes that are endangering his family. Ned is an honorable man, and once he has evidence of such treachery, he would not hesitate to dispense justice.

His sense of justice changes. In the wizarding world, Harry was more about individual justice against Voldemort. But as Ned Stark, he is concerned with the justice of his entire realm. He has to deal with laws, traditions, and the balance of power among different houses. His view of loyalty also broadens. He is now loyal not just to a few friends like in Hogwarts, but to his family, his bannermen, and his people. And his communication style changes. He has to use the more formal and diplomatic language of Westeros, rather than the casual talk he had with his wizard friends.

How about Elara Stark? Elara is a Stark female OC with a passion for history and old tales. She spends most of her time in the library of Winterfell, learning about the past of the Seven Kingdoms. But don't be fooled by her bookish nature. When the Starks are in danger, she uses her knowledge of the land's history and old alliances to help the family. For example, she might recall an ancient treaty that could be used to gain support from a neighboring house.

Ned Stark as king in fanfiction would face challenges on multiple fronts. There is the issue of succession. He would need to plan for the future and ensure a smooth transition of power. His own code of honor might conflict with the cut - throat politics of the court. He would have to be more diplomatic than he is used to. Then there are the regional differences within the Seven Kingdoms. Each area has its own culture and needs, and he would have to find a way to satisfy them all. For example, the North has its own traditions that he would want to uphold while also integrating it better with the rest of the kingdom.
