I just bet Nymeria's Aunt Arya has been all kinds of helpful teaching that girl how to use a Needle...

Sansa has clearly never learned one of the more fun uses for a bearskin rug, and I'm kind of surprised that Tyrion has never taught her. But I can see Tyrion's grief-Tywin will *never* approve of him now.

Margaery and Oberyn? Lucky woman, though marriage is definitely out-neither one is likely to be totally faithful, but glad they're having fun.

And the North remembers. Sansa remembers Tywin, and gives him his just due.

But not a farthing more. She keeps her love for Bran.

Wow! This was a great chapter, and a lot happened. (what a pity the showrunners didn't know how to construct a decent arc in that last year, don't get me started).

Well-Tyrion can manage the wildfire. Jon can train the troops. And Jaime can lead them, because he knows how far better than Jon. Sansa-Sansa can make sure there are enough men, or as much as she can dig up, and make sure they and the horses are fed.

All of them are desperately important now.

This is a very good chapter!

Why don't they just send all the prisoners from Stannis' army to the Wall? They can be fed, housed and useful there. Jon will have fun training them with the wildings (ok, maybe not so much fun).

And Arya will likely love the way the Eyrie can be defended, and there are all those wild tribes to fight again. Shagga Son of Someone's gang, you know who I mean. Tyrion should have told her about them.

I thought for a moment that Selyse Baratheon was going to be given to Sandor Clegane...but sending her and Brienne down to Jaime Lannister at the same time is going to be um, interesting.

I absolutely adore Tyrion's and Sansa's *real* wedding, though.

I see Tyrion read from the book of Ramsay Bolton as far as tactics are concerned, but then hit and run and attrition are almost always a good ploy in the same circumstances.

And I loved this meeting between Sansa and Melisandre.

Winter is coming.

No-winter is here.

Yeah, the sooner Stannis is persuaded to head south, the better, and Melisandre along with him. He's not going to help with the white walkers soon enough, and Melisandre has her own agenda.

Mance is far more useful as an ally than Stannis is.

Good for Sansa for seeing that, and making it happen.

Actually, having that toad Alliser and his buddies leave with Stannis is brilliant. Stannis will wish he hadn't done so along the line, I'm certain, since Ser Alliser seems to think he's more royal than the king, and will likely forget that Stannis is his commander, not his servant. Oops.

Jon has fewer people, but they are less likely to murder him, which should be an advantage when dealing with the wildings.

Tyrion knows how to work an audience, he had them listening right away, and made them think. That must have hurt some of them!

And now Jon has the ability to at least consider alliance with the wildings.

I loved the 'you know nothing, brother' line. Snicker.

Actually, Stannis probably thinks Arya is cute and would like her and Shireen to meet each other. He probably doesn't believe Arya is that good, either (though if she should happen to skewer someone who tried to hurt Shireen, then hey, he wouldn't mind one bit).

Though convincing Stannis that Tyrion knows what he's talking about could lead to some very exciting conversations. Tyrion probably shouldn't talk *too* much about wildfire, for instance.

And Sansa is finally strong enough to admit she loves Tyrion. (of course, Joffrey, Littlefinger and Ramsay being dead helps).

love this

Not to be a completly bummer, but I noticed throughout the whole 3 parts of the fic that you mention only the Seven as the gods of Westeros. I don't know if you did it for convience sake, but the Old Gods are the gods of the First Men of Westeros and the North held by the Starks who follows the Old Gods. Just to let you know.

Just read the entire series in like a day. It was so good!

This series was so good, I loved getting to see Sansa become a strong capable leader. I also loved watching the relationship between her and Tyrion grow into love. Tyrion is my favorite character from the show, so getting to see him happy above all is awesome and you did so well recreating the world of GOT.

very good series enjoyed it

Yay, Bronn saved Shireen! I had my suspicions as soon as Sansa learned that Selyse and Shireen would be accompanying the army but was afraid he wouldn't save her in time. Her friendship with Arya is so sweet. I wonder if she would be a potential match for Rickon?

I loved your trilogy. Sansa has grown wise and I liked the fact that it took time for her to be respected in the North and for Tyrion and her to be happy together. Just one thing though, most of the North keeps to the Old Gods, not to the Seven. Appealing to the Seven on the Wall with the Wildlings probably wouldn't work, as they are the gods of the South.
