Wedding night part III you mean? Haha! Of course!

Thanks!

[maroucya]

Yeah and since they already had sex twice in this story, next time will be part III. ;)

Eeeeeeeeeeee! They got married!!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!
Clara and Spike are very confused by all the squeaking and squealing I've been doing.
The change in Sandor through the chapters has been subtle and I love how here he is quite love struck, even smiling during the ceremony!

They say a woman's love can change any man and Sandor's not immune, especially since it's his little bird we're talking of!

Glad to hear I disturbed the calm and peace of your home! :P

I love it when your Sandor calls Sansa his woman to strangers, like to the servant women here or the innkeeper in The Exchange. Its so possessive and proud but in a prickly, insecure way that's really endearing.

I love how you demonstrate how infatuated Sandor is with Sansa. Little phrases like "He still wasn’t used to such a beautiful girl swooning over his every deed. Chances were he would never be" and " the sight sent Sandor’s heart racing as madly as a wild horse" and "What a sweet girl she is, Sandor mused with both fondness and amusement."

Its easy to fall into too sappy territory with this kind of character development. But its also easy to make Sandor gruff and mean for no reason. The Sandor here is wonderful balance of grouchy asshole and a man head over heels in love.

One million years later, I reply to this comment... :S

'Its so possessive and proud but in a prickly, insecure way that's really endearing.'

Yeah I love that too! It's like, one of the main reasons he's so possessive IS because of his insecurity. I'll say it once more: I'm sure Sandor would be a real pain in the ass as a husband. He'd be always watching her and hate when she'd be too friendly with men. He'd be possessive and jealous - exactly what I would never want in a man in RL but for some reason, I find all that very hot in fiction.

‘The Sandor here is wonderful balance of grouchy asshole and a man head over heels in love.’

Thanks! That’s the best compliment ever! I really can get annoyed with sappy-Sandor but mean-for-no-reason-Sandor is no better. That you say I manage it is so very flattering to me! :D

Yay!! Of course Sandor was bored at his own wedding. :-) Sansa's just too cute. Can't wait to see what's next!

[maroucya]

Thanks! I think I'd be bored at my wedding too! ;)
