Pairing: Ned/Catelyn

Notes: Several AU factors to make this work - I think you can figure it out as you go along. :) The biggest one is assuming there is never a betrothal between Catelyn and Brandon. I couldn't resist

I'm back from vacation and finally have time to review this awesome fic

Thank you bb!! Hahaha, I immediately was like OH GOD AND ROBERT IS THE PERFECT ZEUS. The parallels really fit well - the North isn't THAT far from the Underworld, especially in an AU where the Wall as already fallen. And poor Ned seems to get a bad rep with those outside the North. XD Of course, I don't see Ned as, er, IMPULSIVE as Hades was, but that's where the blending comes in! It was interesting to think of the Ned-Cat marriage as not an alliance, but a sort of implicit threat.

And you know I have all the love for Cat trying to adjust to the North, and trying to come to terms with a life so very different than what she's used to. <33 OH MY BB CATELYN!

Thanks agaaaaain!!!
