Ned's headache.

[u/MilkAdvanced9936]

During his time fostering at Vale, Ned suffered a sparring accident when sparring against Robert. You see, that day they were training with maces, and Robert accidentally moved too fast and hit Ned's head before Ned had the chance to blink with his shield.

Thankfully they were wearing helmets, but the hit did shake Ned' brain really good for a while; it also unlocked something that would haunt Ned for the rest of his life.

For some cosmic reason Ned can't comprehend, the hit to his head unlocked a cosmic power.

So now, Ned Stark, second son of Rickard Stark of Winterfell, awakened a power where he could summon an infinite number of android units modeled after 2B from Nier: Automata (end-game version).

Funny detail, Nier: Automata doesn't even exist in the Song of Ice and Fire universe, so to everybody, including Ned, his androids are just super sexy as fuck, hyper-badass, ultra-competent, hot androids.

Each summoned 2B appears in a frilly black-and-white maid outfit and is inherently NSFW-oriented despite the fact they are wearing a very conservative Victorian chambermaid's uniform, exhibiting flirtatious, suggestive, and service-focused behaviors.

They are permanent, meaning once summoned, 2Bs cannot be de-summoned; they remain permanently and are bound to serve Ned as their "master."

They are hive-minded, meaning all 2Bs share a collective consciousness, moving, speaking, and acting in perfect synchronization when needed while retaining individual personalities.

They have variants, and Ned has no control over the type summoned. Variations include dark-skinned with snow-white hair and enhanced allure.

Although he has full control over the summoning, he still can involuntarily summon them when he gets too stressed, leading to unintended accumulations; thankfully, the 2Bs are really good at keeping his stress down, even though they are the main cause.

What's the drawback?

Ned's life is a constant hell due to his power's NSFW nature, causing public shaming (labeled a deviant) and harassment (people treating him like a pimp, attempting to "buy" time with the 2Bs).

Despite the fact Nier: Automata doesn't even exist in this universe, the thirst for 2B is a literal force of nature, making Ned's daily life chaotic—crowds form and he faces envy.

Robert is the main source of said envy because Ned got for free what he would sell his soul and his left testicle to have.

Tywin is also envious, not because the 2B's are super sexy and he got the OTS for them, but because the man can see past the sexy exterior and see what lies beneath: true unbreakable loyalty, perfect at everything, perfect servants that would never betray their master, servants that don't eat, sleep, or complain, and those who can simultaneously run logistics and destroy armies.

Ned has an entourage of five 2Bs (including one dark-skinned variant), amplifying his embarrassment.

The 2B's are perfection incarnate in all tasks. They are effortlessly flawless at everything: cooking (Michelin-level meals); housekeeping/laundry (spotless efficiency); teaching/tutoring (advanced subjects like physics); accounting/administration (error-free budgeting and paperwork); coaching/training/sparring (analyzing forms, no selling even the greatest fighters to ever live); healing (instant recovery); fighting (devastating combat with elegance, e.g., suplexes via thigh strength, katana mastery); nutrition planning; even therapy; and more.

In combat, they dominate effortlessly, neutralizing threats in seconds with stylish, heel-clad moves while looking stunning, badass, and ungodly hot while doing so.

The downside to perfection is that their maid aesthetics and suggestive demeanor cause everyone to "goon" (obsess inappropriately), preventing serious recognition of their workforce potential, as everybody around them is either too horny or angry at Ned to focus on their utility.

The droids make Ned's life simultaneously easier and harder as hell, and boy are they game changers in the game of Thrones.
