oh no doubt I wasn't expecting it ... because I don't finish there is no end :(

reminded me of chapter 8x02

they say that in the books it is Gendry who is attentive to Arya but he doesn't blame Arya from the series having a crush on Gendry

don't make promises you can't keep ... oh she tells him that she would be his family and he just leaves ... that makes me mad

oh question she really sews it in the books because I have read several fics with that part.

Oh interesting but ... don't make promises you can't keep

I am so sorry to ruin a perfect number of reviews (69 lol) but I had to tell you how much I loved these one shots. You did an amazing job of putting so much story and depth and characterisation into each short story. Great work!

Amazing ... just simply amazing!

This is so beautiful. :)

I'm sobbing.

This was soooo good. I loved the concept of how he reminded her of different members of her family. This was a very fun read.

This is so great!

Loved this! Very well written and engaging. :)

This series was absolutely perfect! Exactly the type of fic I was looking for! I don't like stories which jump right into the middle and they start kissing each other immediately. I need they relationship and chemistry to be built up, and need the tension rising higher and higher until I can believe it can really happen. And you just did a perfect job of that! Every time I finished a chapter I thought it was perfect, and there can't be anything better than that, until I read the next one which beated all the others before. The whole thing was so lovely and warming it makes my heart ache.
It's also very well written - except for a few grammar mistakes, but I've seen a lot more worse on this site - the general atmosphere catches you immediately and won't release you (I read it all in one go despite the fact that I should be learning for my last exam...:)). You describe their emotions quite well and those little details and reactions were fantastic. It added more depht to their characters, made them more realistic and you had the right balance without getting boring or confusing due to too much details - it's a rare talent! I appreciated that all their actions were believable to me, you stayed true to the characters which is a strict criterion to me when I'm browsing stories. Well, Arya demanding Gendry to kiss her (in Chapter 5) was a bit strange for me, a little bit sudden, but I could accept it in the end because it lacked that passion they had in the last chapter. I loved how you showed the soft side of Arya, both the caring and the fragile part too. And the associations to the various family members were really great. At the beginning I was a bit afraid that it would be a weird idea, but it turned out to be beautiful instead. I enjoyed that although it's their relationship which is in the main focus, but her family bonds were also important, and you described them in a heartbreaking way.
And the last chapter was a masterpiece! I didn't came here for that, I searched for a story with denied emotions (and yours served me well:)) not with kissing or sex scene, but at the end I was more than satisfied despite my first thoughts. This piece was lovely, tender and passionate, and I could totally believe it happening that way. Even those little details were really sweet such as Arya knocking her teeth against his - it reminded me of my first time, and made it even more believable, since they were beginners after all.

Although I loved every little bit of your story and it earned the top place in my heart among my favourites, but being a medical student I just can't overlook one thing. When Gendry is wounded and Arya makes a suture (it was a bit odd that she had a needle with her, but I overstepped it, as well as the matter of proper thread), she made no disinfection at all! You described the wound being really deep, and surely the edge of the sword wasn't sterile, so the wound must have been contaminated, and deep wounds have a higher tendency to get infected. Also in that era (before penicillin was discovered) wound infection was one of the greatest dangers, many-many people had died due to that or at least lost a limb (just think about Khal Drogo). So she should have burned it out with their dagger or at least clean it with some water, please... Sorry, I know I'm being an asshole right now but it was really bugging me...

Otherwise this story was perfect, it warmed my heart. Thank you!

Best wishes,

Oh my gOD this was the first fanfiction I ever read and it's so so perfect and I came back to read it again two years later and it's just as perfect the second time omfg I can't even (the only thing is that you use commas a lot where you should use semi colons and end up with comma splices but like I don't even care it's so perfect and romantic that it overcame my inner grammar nazi like wow you don't even understand how much of a feat that is ilu bro) anyway just like stay awesome idevenk my undying love for this fic is so great I might just die.
