(Cross-posting here because this turned into over 3,000 words of pure LET ME SALVE MY SOUL WITH SHAMELESS HURT/COMFORT MMMKAY?)

For the kink meme, prompted by blackcigars - prompt: Ned/Cat, a difficult pregnancy and birth puts Catelyn in a depression that Ned works to pull her from.

No porn, non-graphic childbirth. JUST ME TRYING TO FIX MY FEELS.

fill: it's all a game avoiding failure (when true colors will bleed) )

I'm here from the kink meme, and this is all sorts of lovely and yet depressing, and it just broke my heart.

Thank you so much!! The pressure on women in Westeros to mother children is just so intense - it always made me feel badly for Lysa, who likely bore the brunt of the pressure and blame for her miscarriages and stillbirths, even though it was likely due to the Arryn line just not being a very strong one. And it's a role Catelyn takes so seriously that I think the possibility of not being ABLE to have more children would cut her to the quick.

I'm so glad you liked!! <3

i linked this on my tumblr, in hopes that i would have a moment to read it because it's quite long and i wanted the perfect moment to have emotions about it because i knew that i would and so i've finally read all the way through and my heart aches. just aches. because all catelyn wants is to feel safe again. that's all she wants. that's all she wants for her children. to be safe. and if she were to be safe, she would be happy. so when i read stories like this and there is someone to provide that safety for her, someone to lift the weight of the world off of her shoulders, i am the one who is happy ( ... )

EEEEE, THANK YOU SO MUCH BB! I'm so glad you liked it. IT WAS THERAPUTIC IN A WAY. Because one of my favorite things about the Ned/Cat relationship is just that they're so clearly PARTNERS, and they take turns carrying the burden and being the strong one and letting the other lean on them, and once he's gone Catelyn doesn't get those breaks or those moments anymore ('I'm so tired of being strong, I want to weep, I want to be comforted, just for a day, an hour...'), she has to be strong and hold it together and hold her LIFE together ALL THE TIME. And it just breaks my effing heart ( ... )
