   Summary

   This is an "unfix it" fic that explores why Theon deserved better through his thoughts and feelings and interactions before and during his death in Season 8. Interactions include: Theon & Tyrion, Theon & Maester Wolkan, Theon & Sansa, and Theon & Bran. I've kind of just... leaned into the bleakness in order to grapple with everything I hated about his death, if that makes sense. Though I still tried to find shreds of hope where I could.
