This chapter made me cry it was so heartbreaking to see Arya having to go through all this hell. I really love how you've captured her innocence here. How she's torn between her loyalty and the reality her mother is gone. It just broke my heart how she grows hopeful when an orphanage is created by her for the child victims of the war. How she so badly wants to believe that deep down a piece of her mother lingers even if consciously she knows its not possible

This is probably one of the hardest ones I've written just because the characterisation has just been so damn difficult! I have to admit that Sansa is a lot easier than Arya is, and Lady Stoneheart... even more difficult to get right considering we know so little about her or her thought processes.

I do ship Arya and Gendry, I certainly do. Not with the undying fervour of SansaxSandor but I did love their interactions in both the books and the show and I feel that if they hadn't been parted it definitely would've developed into something. He does try to look out for her in canon, and when we see him again later in the books once she's gone he's changed so much, it makes me wonder if part of the anger in him is because he believed he failed her earlier?

You know me, I can't write entirely without hope ;)
