#I often think about who the stark kids might've ended up with in a world where sansa wasn't given to joffrey and/or the wot5k never happened #& I completely get why edmure is rarely thought of as an option (I didn't think of it myself until like a day ago).#but when you take westerosi precedent into consideration uncle-niece (& aunt-nephew) marraiges aren't actually frowned upon among the nobles #it can be considered an underhanded move when a man does it to subsume his brother's line.#but like with cousins no one seems to really gaf about the niece-fucking part #& back to sansa specifically; it would be the easiest & safest way for her to go south the way she & cat so desperately wanted her to #while still being under the protection of her family (because y'know. edmure is family)#plus it'd double-down on the north-riverlands alliance #so yeah. sansa x edmure 2024 folks/hj #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #sansa stark #edmure tully #sansa x edmure #I guess lol
