What If Samwell Tarly Woke Up Before the Ranging Beyond the Wall with Future Memories

What if Samwell Tarly woke up in the cold rookery before dawn, remembering a future of blood and ice? In an hour, Lord Commander Jeor Mormont leads two hundred brothers of the Night's Watch north on their Great Ranging. Sam remembers the slaughter waiting at the Fist of the First Men, and the mutiny at Craster's Keep. Behind them, the dead march. Marching blind will break the Watch. He has to speak before the iron gate lifts. Can Sam convince Maester Aemon and the Old Bear to halt the march? Castle Black needs fire and dragonglass. North of the Wall, Jon Snow and Grenn must face the wilderness with all their plans thrown out. And when urgent ravens reach King's Landing and Oldtown, will Tyrion Lannister and Archmaester Ebrose heed warnings of an ancient enemy stirring in the deep snow? A warning before the rangers ride gives the Night's Watch a fighting chance against the Long Night. Castle Black can hold. If the Wall stands, the Seven Kingdoms survive. The brothers can face the cold together, torches lit and dragonglass in hand.
