    Summary

    She hears about him long before she ever sees him again.

    Tales, whispers on the wind, she catches bits and pieces but never the whole thing.

    They call him Azor Ahai, the prince that was promised. They call him a dragon. They talk about him like he is a hero out of a storybook.

    Jon is no hero, she thinks. Jon is just Jon, and he is no dragon.

    Jon is a wolf, like she is.

    Like Sansa Stark.

    Summary

    “I will be a silent, and dutiful wife,” Sansa spits. “I will be their pretty little songbird, and wear their ugly crown, and sit on their painful throne. I shall give him a babe, and my love, and I will wait until he thinks that he has won. And then I shall take his life."

    Shae goes still. "You ... you plan to kill the King?"

    "No," Sansa says. "I plan to kill my husband."

    Summary

    “I'm not saying actually date a woman. Fake date one. Don't celebrities do that all the time for clout?”

    “Right,” it's Theon's turn to roll his eyes. “And who would I...” he stops, frowns a bit, then tilts his head as he looks at her appraisingly. Something a bit like panic flares in her chest at his expression.

    “No,” she holds up a finger at him, like she's scolding one of the dogs.

    “But you're perfect."

     

    Or, Sansa agrees to be Theon’s fake girlfriend. She also gets to meet his new teammate - and longtime rival - Jon Snow.

    Summary

    Sometimes when she wakes up, she forgets.

    But then she looks around the room that isn’t her room and she has to tell herself that it is. This is her room. This is her home. That is her husband downstairs making breakfast.

    (And sometimes she wakes up unable to breathe, the dreams are so real; the blood and brains and pieces of skull spraying the wall in front of her, the sounds of men pleading for their lives. The strong arm wrapped around her, one hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming, the only thing that kept her still and quiet and hidden under the desk, the only reason she’s alive. He’s downstairs making breakfast.)

    Summary

    Sansa finds it difficult to look at Jon’s face, with its weathered lines and cragginess. It is the face of the North and a face that northerners trust; the face of Sansa’s brothers and her father, who had been loved and respected by their tenants as their forefathers had been when they were kings. How can Sansa feel anything but resentment, looking into that face and knowing that all of her years of hard work will never earn her the respect that that profile engenders within seconds?

    But she does. It is a small, burning coal of something that must be smothered.
