Wild and strange AUs or crossovers (NOT modern)

I'm looking for AU that change the nature of Planetos and Westerosi/Essosi culture, magic, social structures, etc in some innate way

I don't have stellar examples

There's the crackfic A Gift from the Gods, or a Curse on spacebattles where everyone gets a sigil companion. But it is crack and also doesn't go far enough. It would fit my request if everyone had always had a sigil companion and this had significant downstream effects on history, like an ASOIAF / His Dark Materials crossover.

A few crossovers I've read kind of fit, but don't go deep enough in change

There's also a fic whose name I can't remember, where Jon is a girl and enters the harem of the emperor Aegon (son of Elia). Everything is basically Ottomanized, back to the Conquest as far as I can tell. That one was fun and I want more and much stranger

Anyway, yes, please throw your best AU or crossover at me, as long as they make Westeros / Essos wild and strange and aren't modern

- The pets were basically colored doodles

- You could level them and a leveled pet would get more resources

- Design of game overall was very simple

- You could have many pets and there were many different species

- The main thing was the minimalism and simplicity, it was cute and smooth with little to manage

- I think it was founded by one guy

- I can't remember the name at all

  1. Dr. Bailey in Grey's Anatomy pretends to be a nurse when Gary Clark is killing surgeons - stereotypes say the Black woman is a nurse. She was also in scrubs instead of a white coat. I don't know if he would have believed her if she was a white man, he barely believed her as it was

  2. IRL: William and Ellen Craft, who escaped slavery by pretending to be a sick white plantation man (Ellen, crossdressing with a fake illness) with his Black servant/attendant (William). Ellen had to pretend to be a young man because white women didn't travel alone with slaves, and she kept her arm in a sling to hide that she couldn't write. William used his money from making cabinets to pay for her disguise. Nobody in 1848 looked beyond what they expected to see, a white man with a slave. Their escape was successful.

  1. The snail pin / brooch

  2. Evidence that I know how to crochet

What crochet items could I conceivably make that would incorporate this snail? This man is impossible to shop for. I've already given him a blanket, coat/vest, and scarf. He plays the guitar and he's very long. He likes to cook and pretend there aren't any more Halo tournaments. Love you if you see this honey

These 6 cubs were born in May 2025 at the Metro Richmond Zoo, Virginia USA. Pic taken in August 2025 I believe.

Release from Metro Richmond Zoo on Aug 26, 2025 -

"The Metro Richmond Zoo is excited to announce the birth of six cheetah cubs to proud parents Zuri and Ramses. Born on May 13 after a three-month gestation, the litter includes three males (Lagos, Bukavu, and Cairo) and three females (Matola, Kampala, and Lusaka).

Zuri has proven to be an excellent mother, showing great care and playfulness with her rambunctious cubs. After spending their first months at the zoo’s Cheetah Conservation Center, a private facility with 19 habitats dedicated to cheetah care, Zuri and her three-month-old cubs have moved to the public cheetah habitat in the zoo. Guests can now enjoy the unique opportunity to observe cheetah cubs up close with their mother and learn more about this species."
