Alright, alright, this came out quite a bit longer than I intended it to and got sort off-track. I hope you don't mind. AFFC/ADWD SPOILERS.

Alayne Stone marries Harrold Hardyng and becomes Sansa Stark again. And then she takes the North.
Her father's bannermen, her bannermen, rally to her side near as soon as she appears - all but the Boltons, of course, but never mind them, because she roots them out from hoof to hair and lays the sort of ruin upon them that makes Tywin Lannister's wroth seem gentle in comparison. Next to the cries for vengeance of her fellow northmen, 'The Rains of Castamere' sounds like a jaunty tune

"So then why does he -" Sansa starts.
"Insist upon praying to that tree?" Asha interrupts. Asha interrupts often, which is an unfavorable habit, to be sure, but in the last few years Sansa has met many a courteous and gracious knight with habits by far worset, so she isn't overly bothered by it. "I asked him the same thing. And do you know what he said?"
Sansa shakes her head. Theon doesn't say much, in her experience, except, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,' and 'You have to remember your name,' with a kind of frightening earnestness that makes Sansa uncomfortable

He fails, of course, being barely able to walk on his own, and he and Asha make a lot of noise yelling at each other about the difference between justice and vengeance - "He's paid enough!" - "He killed my brothers, burned my home. There is no such thing as paying enough for that

OH MY GOD.
HOW IS THIS EVERYTHING I WANT? EVERYTHING I WANT. ASHA AND SANSA AND THEIR TREATY AND THEM GETTING ALONG AND TALKING ABOUT THEON AND EEEEK *___* AND SANSA AND JON. AND JON AND THEON. THEON AND JEEEEYNE, oh god their scenes and Jeyne bursting into tears until Sansa decides not to kill him and this part:
"No," Theon Greyjoy says softly into Jeyne's ear, white-haired and barely able to stand upright as he is. "That's not your name. Remember your name."
FEEEEELINGS. And I loved Jon getting out of bed and reopening his wounds trying to kill Theon over it and Asha yelling at him for it and Jon not being able to bring himself to do it when he gets the chance and YES. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, IT WOULD GO JUST LIKE THIS.
Sansa sits next to his bed the next day, as with all the other days, and doesn't comment on it. In a way, she understands. She understands a lot now.
Saaaaaansaaaaa. And the ending is basically sad and hurty in how resigned it is BUT OH SANSA.

OH GOD I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT BECAUSE IT WAS KIND OF SELF-SERVING WISH-FULLFILLMENT IN THAT I JUST THREW ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS TOGETHER FOR A PROMPT THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MOST OF THEM.
It's just, your prompt only said 'Sansa,' and, try as I might I cannot write people on their own without someone to bounce off of, so I gave her a bunch of random people to bounce off of! tbh, I think it was you - over on the friending meme? - who pointed out the awesomeness of Asha/Sansa to me and I COULD NOT UNSEE. I had to write them interacting and, oh my god, I'm so in love with this ship now. ♥
WELL. 'Landscape' is a depressing song, but it also has this sort of uproarious, fighting-ish feel to it, which made me think of marching off into battle. THUS, LOTS OF WAR.

MY DILEMMA, LET ME SHOW YOU IT. I've just seen the Game of Thrones and have not, as yet, started the second season and am a book!canon n00b. So will I be spoiling myself terribly if I read this? I MEAN I'M REALLY DYING TO, SINCE YOU'VE WRITTEN IT DDD:
Re: daughter of the rain and snow (asoiaf, sansa stark) 3/3youremyqueenApril 6 2012, 17:52:59 UTC
AHAHA, PROBABLY? YES, YES, DEFINITELY. It mentions a bunch of people who die (I.E.: EVERYBODY) and even if it didn't, it would probably make less than no sense to you at this point. I would recommend waiting until about season three or four - or reading the books. YES GOOD READ THE BOOKS.
(I'm kidding, of course. I know time constraints don't allow many people to read five one thousand page books within any reasonable amount of time, if at all.)
BUT AS COMPENSATION, I WILL WRITE SPIKE/DAWN FOR YOU. I WILL. gimme a few days, tho. :3
Re: daughter of the rain and snow (asoiaf, sansa stark) 3/3youcallitwinterApril 6 2012, 18:04:36 UTC
OHHH, MAN, I'M GLAD I ASKED YOU THEN. Even though I'm usually a spoiler phobe (although of that insane variety where I will look up the episode in middle of watching it, which, WHAT EVEN) I was totally going to read it anyway, discretion be damned, but I SHALL WAIT THEN.
I need to read the books, after all that I've heard seriously, the craziness and fandom squee they inspire is a force to be reckoned with! :O
YOU DO KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO WRITE THE SPIKE/DAWN IF YOU'RE BUSY, RIGHT? Let me not coerce you into it, hee. But if you are writing, TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU WANT OFC <3
Landscape - Florence + The Machine
She can't see the landscape anymore
It's all painted in her grief
All of her history etched out at her feet

I love this song. I love this character. Yes, I'm going to go write this after I have breakfast...
