Oh, god, I am legitimately ugly crying right now. This is all so painful and heartbreaking and to hear Ned thinking he has no children and knowing it's a lie, and both he and Cat being in so much pain, not to mention his new panic at fathering a bastard on her...Jesus Christ, break my heart into a thousand pieces.

Don't you want to write a fun, happy sequel where Cat has a baby and the Wall falls and Ned comes home and I can stop sobbing?

Seriously, this is just incredible.

Thank yooooooou!!! Clearly, I hate joy. One of the prompts I got for the got_exchange was an AU where Ned is smarter and doesn't die but is able to be with his family/go home and I struggled to try and start it before choosing another prompt. This one was like "Oh look! Misery! *writes*"

Thank yoooooou!! Poor Arya, although having to marry Tommen is a far less terrible fate than having to marry Joffrey. And as Cat said, many things could change by the time that Arya and Tommen are of age.

Basically I was alllll about the angst this time around. XD

he does not trust his own resolve in that matter. It is easier with her sleeping, with his children sleeping, (I have no children, he reminds himself, that lie over and over) when he does not have to look in their eyes and turn his back.

I had some life left in me after the sex, but this...this killed me.

Hahahaha, apparently I can't write this scenario when it's happy and hopeful, only when it's all DOOM AND GLOOM. =( So many sads!

[juno_chan]

THANK YOOOOOU!!! TEARS KEEP ME YOUNG. XD

First Meg's Jon/Dacey, and now THIS. I am a gross sobbing mess right now.

Your Ned/Cat are always the most perfect, human, in characterizations I have ever read. Never stop writing them!
