    Summary

    "Why would you save me?" Sansa whispered, holding his hand down. The small gesture not only ricocheted tight, pinching sparks all over his body, but she'd also helped settle him a little.

    Life hadn't ever been fair for the Halfman, so it seemed appropriate for him to revel under the splendor of an inconvenient and unexpected truth seconds before his life would surely end. Though he was a man of knowledge and reason, Tyrion had always drowned in a deluge of desperation and loneliness, a need to be loved as ardently as he loved things he could never have.

    Three dangerous words whispered at the end of the world between two familiar souls caught on two separate sides of a war that could destroy Westeros caught in a web of chaotic secrets, suspicion, and stolen kisses ignite a new war between Houses.

    Summary

    The birth of Thorin's first child. As nervous as Thorin is about his wife giving birth, he is strong and supportive - giving love, strength, encouragement and help as much as he can. It is a birth story, but it's not so graphic to be disturbing. There is no crazy, screaming wife, threatening to harm her husband at the end. It's just a beautiful birth story in which, at the end, Thorin gazes upon his own child for the first time.

    He’s seven years old and he wants to be a templar. To this end, he has procured a stick he deems worthy of being his sword, and carries it everywhere. His parents despair.

    You don’t even know what that means, they say. He does. He knows.

    Summary

    "How much have you heard?" He asks, still avoiding her gaze.

    She crosses her arms under her bosom. "Enough," she answers, simply.

    "So you’ve heard it all," he concludes.

    He can feel her eyes on him. "I did."

    "Leave me, Sansa," he says. He willed it to sound as harsh as any order, but it comes out so tired.

    "No." His wife, ever gentle, reaches out to rest a hand on his shoulder. For some reason the touch startles him. "You should have told me." It's not a judgment, not really. It's almost an invitation, if a man had enough hope to listen to it; almost forgiveness; almost; almost.

    [The wars are over; there's peace in the Seven Kingdoms, the survivors are trying to rebuild, and Tyrion Lannister and his wife, Sansa Stark, learn how to build a home in the North as they wait for news of spring.]
