Title: What things may follow Rating: E Word Count: 1604 For: lit_chick08 Prompt: Ned/Cat: Ned learns what Cat likes (interpret as you want, but they did have five kids, sooo...)
Ugh absolutely love this; the awkwardness of that first year/those first years; Ned being kind of jealous that someone could spark such a reaction from his young wife, even though if it's really just simple laughter; going to her rooms and feeling kind of awkward; and then Cat stripping naked dutifully in this kind of 'ok, lets get to it'-way and that he wants something more.
Loved it, also how you incorporated that night where Cat brought up the rumors about Jon's mother; because whatever they had going before then, was instantly quelled by his reaction. AND THEN THE REST WAS TEH SEXY.
Thank you!! I have a soft spot for young-and-awkward-Ned-and-Cat trying to figure out how to be married. I definitely imagine it was a tough road at the beginning, but we know it worked out well for them. ;-)
I swear, your Ned/Cat fics are godsends, what with all the canon spaces left open that you fill in, and the sweet/sexy moments you capture between Ned and Cat while keeping it all in character. This one is no exception

Thank you so much!! And I agree re: Ned wanting to make Cat comfortable, I think it was just his nature to want to make ANY woman he had to marry comfortable.
Yes, I definitely wanted to make them have not-procreative sex. XD I think a lot of times with these two it's easy to skip right from 'dutiful serious bedding for Heir Making Purposes' straight to 'NOW WE ARE IN LOVE' and forget that there was probably a lot of inbetween - having sex for pleasure, having sex because they're both lonely at this juncture of their lives, having sex because they're healthy and young and it feels good. So this was a bit of moving from having sex for THE SAKE OF WINTERFELL to having sex for its own enjoyment, but they're definitely not at the love stage yet. ;-) But I think Ned is enough of an idealist to hope at this point that 'well, maybe one day.'
I swear, whenever I'm trying to *write* Ned/Cat, first I get unsure because well-you write them so well, I don't want to ruin them 5eva. But then when I just try to keep moving on, I find myself reading your fic, your thoughts about them (which are fucking fantastic btw, I wish I were that articulate), and I'm inspired.
It sounds super corny, and I even wanted to add in a '~' to play it down a bit, but I'm serious!
Awwww, thank you!! And you write FAAAABULOUSLY, you could never ruin them 5eva so don't be unsure!!! But thank you so much, that is such a wonderful wonderful compliment and I appreciate it so much. =D
