Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Modern AU: placing Ygritte in a modern, non-fantastical, setting. Ygritte has no canonical last name, so is not uncommon to her to be given the last name Wilde in AU fics.
- Canon Divergence AU: often interacting with characters she never met in canon, most often members of Jon Snow's family, but also other characters from northern houses
- Ygritte lives: Ygritte survives the Wilding attack on Castle Black
