11 A Deserter's reality by dracosword A one shot of what if: Eddard Stark gets news about a Night's Watch deserter. However when he arrives, he is forced to confront his failures and presented with an impossible choice. This was made just because I wanted to make an angsty fic a while ago and this thought just popped in my mind and I wrote it. I acknowledge that all the characters are pretty ooc. Consider this an AU.
