The Savage Wolf >> Chapter 3: Here I Stand (Lyanna’s POV)

“He’s your King,” Lyanna reiterated, “or have you forgotten the vow to his brother? The North is ready for his return. Though I imagine you might not be, considering the flexibility of your loyalty.”

“I beg your pardon my lady?” Wyman’s words cut like ice as his gaze hardened on her. 

Old Gods save her, Lyanna felt her resolve disappear. She had, had enough listening to men speak just to hear their own voices.  I am the Lady of Bear Island, Lyanna reminded herself. A Lady could fight just as well without swords, for her words were just as sharp. “I’ll remind you Lord Manderly, House Mormont has kept faith with House Stark for a thousand years.”

listen I’m all for the theory that shaggydog’s name means Rickon’s arc will be anti-climatic. But consider the idea that a Black Wolf symbolizes the return of ancestral spirits with an important message. Black wolves also represent fear or terror in those that see it. sooooo I mean take from that what you will 👀👉🏻👈🏻

No one cares abt Rickon, and rightfully so. GRRM wrote a meaningless story so it makes sense there’d be plenty of meaningless characters like him.

LMFAO sorry you feel like that, but I care about him.. Actually a lot of my friends do too. They’re the ones that brought me around to liking him. He may not have POV chapters but I still appreciate the parts of ASOIAF that mention him. And because he’s still alive and a Stark he is absolutely not ~*meaningless*~ He is a Prince of North and the heir to Winterfell after Bran. 

Sounds like your hate is more at GRRM than my little feral boy. I kindly suggest you take your sourpatch ass out of my dm’s :) k thanks bye!

“She heard me,” Rickon insisted turning his attention to her again. “A dual. If you win, I’ll kill the Bolton bastard and whoever else you want dead so badly.” 

Davos stilled at that, watching Lyanna as skepticism turned her lips into a frown, “And if you win?” She wondered. 

Rickon shrugged, “If I win, you’ll warm my bed tonight.” He replied nonchalantly, intrigued by her enough to entertain the possibility. Her frown slipped into a downright glare as Davos floundered for words. She wants to slit my throat, he mused grinning at her reaction. 

“If I win you’ll kill the Boltons, take back Winterfell, and you’ll supply Bear Island with enough fighting men and ships to protect us until winter's end.” She finally agreed, surprising everyone as she stood.

The Savage Wolf >> Chapter 4: Bury The Pain (Rickon fix it fic)

Only the distant sounds of Wintertown held a flicker of his attention when he finished pouring the last of his ale over Maric’s grave. Rickon’s grief had long since given way to exhaustion until only hate remained. He could hardly bring himself to mount again yet he did it all the same, desensitized to the stench of rotting flesh and circling scavengers. Regardless of what his companions thought, his return was not that of a King. No, Rickon decided as they caught up with their traveling companions, Edwine had the right of it. There was no use trying to wash the blood from his name. 

The Old Gods had shown him what he had almost forgotten, but he would not let himself forget again. He was Rickon Stark, wildling savage of Skagos, and it was high time Westeros felt the wrath of his return.

When she finally spoke again, her voice had softened slightly as she changed the subject again, “What do they mean?” Her curiosity caught him off guard. 

Turning to make sure he had heard her clearly Rickon paused, confused until he noticed her gaze locked onto his back. His tattoos, “a lot of things…,” he muttered tugging his shirt back over his head to cover the evidence.

“For someone who wants to forget, you have a curious way of showing it.” Lyanna mused. “The wolf… on your back. Is it your direwolf?”

Petition to stop calling Rickon the ‘Wild Wolf’ because that was his uncles moniker and “Savage Wolf” is much more on brand for our lil impulsive child

The Little Bear and The Savage Wolf 


When Lyanna Mormont learns of the plot to retrieve Rickon Stark from Skagos she decides to take matters into her own hands. Intercepting the group at an unlikely inn, tensions between the two rise as she demands he take back his rightful place as Lord of Winterfell and King of the North. Despite his misgivings Rickon finds himself attracted toward the little spitfire, agreeing to kill Ramsay if she can best him in a dual.

I don’t usually participate in these but I wanted to share a snippet of The Savage Wolf since this is turning out to be a particularly long chapter 

When he approached the fourth flayed corpse Rickon felt his grief give way to exhaustion. He could hardly bring himself to dismount yet he did it all the same, long since desensitized to the familiar stench of rotting flesh as he began digging the grave. Only the sight of Winterfell's grey towers rising in the distance held a flicker of his attention, sending a rogue shiver down his spine. 

How long had it been since he had last been this close to home? Rickon wondered blankly as Apple fell into line between Mormont soldiers in Winter Town. It felt strange seeing it in person, like his wolf dreams, as if it would disappear in the blink of an eye.
