    Summary

    Three days.

    Three days locked in an empty room, caged in by mouldy redbrick walls with nowhere to sit but the cracked concrete floor.

    Three days with no food.

    Three days surviving on the two bottles of water that their kidnappers had provided when they first locked them in, presumably thinking that it would be a good idea to keep the hostages alive. Dani was trying really hard not to focus on what it meant that nothing had been provided since.

    Summary

    Jon rests his forehead against their intertwined hands. She feels something wet pressed against her fingers. In the end, in a broken whisper, which fully expresses a piercing conflict, she hears, "I don't want to be king."

    It seems impossible to breathe around the lump in her throat. Somehow she succeeds. She stroke his hair and her whole being gives way to the sweetness of this touch. She thinks, when was the last time you let someone comfort you like this? When did you know this kind of love, you who as a child were hungry for caresses that no one has ever given you? You who have never had a mother? It seems so unfair that someone like Jon, so worthy of love, has received so little of it in his life. Yet every love, small or large, short or lasting, has its own relevance.

    (Inspired by old leaks about a possible Sansa's abduction)

    Summary

    Arya is the only one of them to have met the Targaryen’s Young Dragon, and even then it had been a short battlefield acquaintance when the Ironborn had tried to take the Rock and a hasty alliance had been formed to push them back. Arya had come back from the south covered in blood and filth and said, he’s adequate, I suppose, which meant he probably was the greatest living swordsman.
