Written for embossedsilver as a part of the A Song of Ice and Fire Fanfic and Fanart Exchange. Many, many thanks to the lovely ladyrostova for being an amazing beta - and being amazing at dealing with my crazy, as per use ;) You are one in a million, love. <3 I, uh, don't actually have much else to say about this. One of the things I'm most overall pleased with in a while

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD YOU

STALKING HAS NEVER FELT SO RIGHT

OMIGAWD

THESE TWO THESE TWO THESE TWO

jesus i don't ship it but this gave me ~all the feelings. i don't ship it the way i do k/r or c/j but but. THEY ARE ENDLESSLY FASCINATING AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR SANSA'S FUTURE AND HER RISE INTO A PLAYER AND THE MOTHERUCKING QUEEN IN THE NORTH AND NOW PETYR IS GOING TO SHAPE HER AND CRAFT HER AND TURN HER INTO SOMETHING ALIEN AND NEW BUT INTRINSICALLY SANSA STARK AND YOU'VE CAPTURED THAT GORGEOUSLY HERE

UGH HER CRIMES. HER CRIMES.

THESE LINES IN PARTICULAR

THIS WHOLE PASSAGE

“You are a vision,” Petyr had told her that morning - not pretty, not lovely, not beautiful, a vision, because that is her purpose in this instant, a vision of the North, a vision of something that could be, something real, something men will fight for

[cassiehayes]

OH MY GOD YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. BLUSHING/SMILING SO HARD RN, LET ME LOVE YOU

[duca_valentino]

OH GOD YES

like i get that it is HUGELY unhealthy seeing as, hum, petyr's recrafting of the woman he never had but dayuuuum. he's going to teach her how to rule and how to play the game and she is the stark with the most politically savvy head. she's going to be the queen of the game and the queen in the north and it'll backfire on him SO BEAUTIFULLY AND SHE IS GOING TO KILL HIM AND I CAN'T WAIT

and yeah, totes. she totes gets more out of this relationship than any other. i mean, i get it when people ship sansa/hound cos, ummmmm, maiden/knight subversion of trope but LOOK AT THIS SHIT. LOOK AT THIS.

RUTHLESS SANSA IS THE BEST. I JUST LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE KILL WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE IN FICTION. ESPECIALLY LADIES. ESPECIALLY LADIES IN CLEVER, RUTHLESS WAYS.

AHHHHH
I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I AM INCOHERENT.

[cassiehayes]

ahahaha, oh god yeah, hugely unhealthy but fascinating and EVERYTHING ABOUT SHAPING HER AND QUEEN OF THE GAME AND BACKFIRING BEAUTIFULLY, YEEES.

sansa/hound does interest me on a lot a lot of levels but I've grown really wary just from seeing so many people shipping it in a ~happily ever after~ fluffy sort of way and now I tend to avoid, which is a shame :/

RUTHLESS LADIES KILLING WITHOUT BATTING AN EYE ARE MY FAVOOOOOURITE. *draws hearts around them aaaaall*

<3333

[eternal_moonie]

Absolutely LOVE it!!

Well done honey.

I see you kicked me off your list. Why?

[cassiehayes]

Aw, thank you, I am so glad to hear it!

As for that though, no no no, what, I have not made any friend cuts and I certainly didn't unfollow you, idek what is going on, I was JUST telling someone else that I could have sworn I was following them and then realized it said I wasn't, or not following but ~friending or whatever, LJ WHY DO YOU STILL CONFUSE ME. Welp, I am sorry about that though! Honestly no intention of mine, and I will fix it right now!

[eternal_moonie]

Oh hon! I'm so sorry to hear that :(

LJ's being weird for a lot of us these days.

*hugs*

[cassiehayes]

No worries, yeah I don't even know, but fixed now! *hugs*
