If you like epic fantasy AUs, you might also like "Blue Butterflies and Black Roses". It's a Witcher AU with bits of other inspiration, but it's also very much it's own thing and hopefully would make sense if you're not familiar with the TV show: archiveofourown.org/works/270756...

Thank you!!!

Three horizontal panels: Melisandre gazing into a fire, Aleksander in sable-trimmed cloak in the snow, and Daisy Ridley as Ophelia in a red cloak, looking determined. Fic title and author in calligraphic font.
