    Summary

    Brandon was held prisoner throughout Robert’s Rebellion and became Lord of Winterfell after the war. At Robert's urging, Ned stayed in King's Landing and joined the Kingsguard. But he hadn't imagined Robert would be such a poor king, nor had he predicted how badly his oaths would chafe.

    Certainly, he never expected he'd begin to sympathize with the Kingslayer.

    Summary

    A moment later, the estate agent comes back to them. “So, did you read the conditions?” She sounds bored and ready to dismiss them – it’s obvious they can’t rent this place.

    “Yeah,” Robb says. “And I was wondering if the owner might make a small exceptions for fiancées?”

    Theon doesn’t shout what did you just say at Robb just out of sheer force of will, and then Robb moves closer and takes his hand and what the hell he’s doing?

    “It’s just,” Robb starts with his most honest expression, “we’ve been together for a few years now and known each other for a lot longer, and we already know we’re tying the knot after university, but well, it seemed a bit early to do it at nineteen, you know? And we’re staying here for the next four years at least, so there wouldn’t be an issue with us possibly bailing.”

    Or: where they pretend to be together to rent an apartment Theon really likes.

    It's not as easy as it looks on paper as far as Theon's concerned.

    Summary

    Brienne visibly swallows and gives him a look. A look that she’s given him plenty of times since they set for the Vale to see if they could really find Sansa after burying what was left of her mother. That look says please just go along with whatever I’m going to say right now.

    She doesn’t even leave him time to nod. She turns to Sansa and the opens her mouth, and - what comes out of it is not what he had expected.

     

    “We’re married,” Brienne says, her voice incredibly steady considering how bad of a liar she is, and her hand reaches out and her fingers curl around the ones of his left hand.

    Summary

    “What -” Stark says as soon as Jaime lets the flap fall closed behind him, and then immediately shuts up when Jaime pulls down his hood and opens the cloak enough to show him the terrified girl clinging to him.

    “Lord Stark,” he blurts, “I didn’t know where else to go and while I certainly am not asking you to commit treason, I also don’t think you would want to see her dead and I cannot think of any other way to reach Dorne without anyone trying to kill either of us, so I would be extremely thankful if you considered not calling your friend now and help me out at least for her sake.”

    It’s not the speech he had prepared. Admittedly, he sounds exhausted and he knows he looks exhausted and that he still has Aerys’s blood under his nails, and he knows that the girl has a badly scarred over wound on her face that they gave her before he could get her out of that room, and he knows that Stark must not have taken too well the fact that he killed his king, which he supposes everyone must have figured out by now, but he’s not screaming for help now.

    He’s not even touching his sword.

    He’s just staring at Jaime with grey, tired eyes.
