    Summary

    Melisandre, her father’s priestess, had once tried to teach her that she should be afraid of the darkness. That it was something that ought to be fought and kept away at all costs. It was the Great Other, she’d whisper, but never quite explained what this Great Other then was. Therefore, all those hushed conversations and veiled threats did very little to impress Shireen.
    The Red Priestess, however, had not failed to instill fear into her. Not of the dark, or of this nameless, voiceless God, but of a simple wooden pole placed on a small stage.

    Summary

    Sansa felt a tear slide down her cheek. She had lived through it all. It was real. Her family was dead. She was dead. The Night King had won and stolen the living on his own cruel whims. Sansa had seen, clear as day, the army of the undead marching for Winterfell. Sansa had heard the screams, seen the stone painted with blood. Sansa remembered her father’s head on a spike, the tears she shed for her mother and dead brothers. What kind of gods would gift her that kind of nightmare?

    “If they were truly dead, why would it be me greeting you in the between?” Lyanna whispered.

    Sansa’s eyes widened at this. She looked back at the weirwood tree, and a soft lullaby echoes through the wind.

    Summary

    Coming home is always strange. It’s still the place where Jon’s most himself, but the changes always sneak up on him. Like Sansa Stark texting him on a Saturday night. That would have never happened before.

    Summary

    “Don’t you wish we could go back to the day we left?”
    Sansa Stark had once whispered those words to Jon Snow, long ago, huddled over a pot of Night’s Watch gruel. The war was behind them then. The White Walkers were dead. Bran sat the Iron Throne, and she had become Queen in the North. And yet, regrets lingered - quiet, unspoken, unbearable.

    “I wish I could change everything,” She had said.

    Now, Sansa awakes in her childhood bed. Winterfell is whole again. She is a girl, yet not the girl she was. The world has shifted: Robert Baratheon is dead, but Rhaegar Targaryen lives, crowned and ruling as rightful king. Jon Snow stands at his true father's side - not a prince, not a king, but a bastard boy with Targaryen blood in his veins.

    He knows nothing. She remembers everything.
