Hogwarts AU: Rumors
Arya had the unfortunate misguidance to confide in Hot Pie of her predicament, and soon news spread faster than firewhisky down the throat that Arya Stark and Gendry Waters were going to the Flower Party together. Before Arya had even left her first class that day, Jeyne Poole was cuddling up to her elbow and asking her if it was true that Gendry Waters had a Bull tattooed across his left buttocks.

It took nearly a month for her to stop clinging to her name, to forget, to bury Arya Stark under layers of dirt and blood and hunger. The name that had always given her shelter had now turned its back on her, and with every newsagent she passed, there was another headline bearing the Stark name, making it a bit harder to blend into the streets unnoticed. It was safer to forget the particular smell of the woods behind Winterfell, the way the grass had felt on her bare feet when she would run out to the river with Bran, how she would pick flowers for her father and get dirt under her fingernails. Easier to push that part of her aside, and let something harder replace it; an emptiness that would allow her to survive.

Ficlet - The night that melisandre took Gendry away
Arya laid awake in the damp cave listening to the sound of the heavy rain hitting the ground outside. No matter how hard she hugged herself she couldn’t get warm, she was right next to the fire and had the flames almost licking her back but it had no effect. ‘Something’s missing’ she thought tucking her knees under her chin, ‘he’s missing’. Gendry had always slept at her back, from the beginning of their journey to the wall and up to the end when the red witch had stolen him.
Just before the woman had taken him away Arya had began to notice Gendry slept further away from her, never so far that someone could come between them but far enough to make it look like they had no relationship at all. Arya still longed for the warmth he provided, he never held her liked her father did in the cold nights in Winterfell but Gendry would sometimes move so close to her that their bodies would touch or on the occasion he’d give her is cloak and leather apron to keep her warm.
‘He was a good friend’ she thought, remembering the way he would smile his goofy grin and call her milady, something in the bottom of Arya stomach flipped. ‘Stupid bull headed boy’. Not only did he go and get himself captured for a reason he still didn’t know, he had know given her some sort of stomach bug which made her feel fuzzy every time she thought of him.
Arya huffed then turned on to her other side, staring past the fire and at the other mens figures. ‘I could kill them, I could kill them all for Gendry’ She knew he was probably still alive but he was better off dead. The woman that took him was a witch, Arya quickly remembered the stories old nan told her about witches. ‘He’s going to die’.
Arya let her tears flow freely that night but just before she let sleep take her into its cold embrace she added one more name to her list.

Everyday Life for Starks; Modern!AU
No matter what way you look at it, life is always crazy for a house that holds twelve people and six pets. There are never enough bathrooms for everyone, nor enough toilet paper to go around. Dirty dishes constantly overflow the sink, and no matter how many times the fridge is restocked, it’s always empty in a couple of days. The coffee pot is the lifeline of sanity for everything and everyone. But through the screaming and fighting, at the end of the day, they’re still a family of wolves.

Arya/Gendry, “Leave”
Written for gameofships’ “Tag! Your Ship!“ meme.
Prompt:
"But I won’t follow you into the rabbit hole
I said I would, but then I saw
The ship of woes they didn’t want me to
It’s a terrible love, and I’m walking with spiders”
