   Summary

   Promised at thirteen and wed at eighteen, Sansa Stark marries Jaime Lannister to bind North and West. War hardens him; Winterfell’s long quiet steels her. In King’s Landing they choose each other, then choose a city: bread before dusk, oil before dark, witnesses at every door. Cersei poisons, plots, and prays to stranger gods; Robert unravels; the Faith learns to count. Between assassins and edicts, miscarriage and birth, witchcraft and courage, a lion lays down his sword and a rose turns silk into steel. Their love remakes a capital. Their son becomes the token of gold and snow. And the Winter Crown hangs on a nail where any citizen can see it.
   Canon: AU canon divergence starting pre-AGOT; no Lannister children by Cersei; Robert lives long enough to make a mess and then dies.
