The only thing I could foresee with regards to the end of this was the Jaime and Brienne part, and that lived up to all my high expectations and then some! They've built up to those final moments; it felt as if they truly deserved them, and it was so well written with no cheesy utterances which would have seemed out of character at the last. It’s settled, Jaime thought. You’re mine. I’m yours. I loved the simple crispness and overwhelming love implied in that thought even more than the sex! (Clearly I need my head examined. LOL

You are too kind! Thank you SO much for taking the time to read this story and to leave such meaty feedback at the end of each chapter. As you know, it's so very helpful to know what resonates with readers, and to know that I've been successful in what I've tried to do. :)

I love that you loved the It’s settled, Jaime thought. You’re mine. I’m yours. I agree that that's more arousing than the sexy bits, and it also reflects his old arrogance (It's settled.) as well as his vulnerability (the intense need to define their places in each other's lives in You're mine. I'm yours. -- which is a luxury he's never quite had with Cersei

I have been terrible at leaving reviews and comments this summer.
But even so, I want you to know how much I have enjoyed reading this story!
It's incredably well done.

I've always been fond of Sansa (well, at least since her character started developing in Kings Landing), and your version of her is truly lovely.

Jaime is a character I've struggled with, even though he's really started to grow on me. But you've made me see him as a tremendously intriguing character with so many layers.

I've loved reading this from beginning to end :D

Thank you very much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed this story, and I appreciate your coming back to leave such thoughtful feedback! I love Sansa even more now that I've written her and tried to get into her head a bit; it's made me appreciate how far she's fallen, and how hard she will have to work to climb back up. And yes, Jaime is intriguing, isn't he? I loved how GRRM surprised me with him, making me adore him after hating him for more than two novels. I'm glad you think I've done the character justice here. Thank you again for your generous comments; they mean a lot! :D
