“this is your daughter”

“This is your daughter.”

The Maester smiles, and hands Gendry a bundle that is so small he hardly dares breathe once she’s in his arms.

She’s sleeping now, just like her mother in the next room, her eyes shut tight and the tip of her tiny thumb hovering just in front of her perfect, bow-shaped mouth. She has his thick, dark hair, and Arya’s nose, and–

And, he’s never seen anything more perfect, more beautiful, in his life.

The Maester says something else to him then, and laughs a little. But Gendry cannot hear him. 

Oh, he thinks to himself, in awe, feeling like he’s drowning, unable to look away from the miracle in his arms. I am so completely and utterly fucked.

thank you!!!!!!!!!!

miladyaryastark replied to your post: the fact that grrm said that endings for secondary...

how big is edric’s character? haven’t come across him so far

in the books edric grew up in storm’s end and, as he was acknowledged by robert and the son of a noblewoman, had an upbringing similar to jon - lived in a castle, educated and trained to fight. it makes a lot more sense for edric to become the lord of storm’s end since he actually grew up there.

it’s edric who melisandre wants to sacrifice (there’s also nothing sexual involved, that was purely d&d) and davos saves him. edric goes to essos but (like gendry in the show) it’s likely he will return.

in comparison, gendry in the books still doesn’t know who his father is and still with the bwb as a knight/smith. at this point i’m also not sure how gendry will even find out about his parentage, it could be that he never does. but gendry thought of king robert as a "big fat sot” and i can’t find the quote but i’m pretty sure i remember him saying he’d like to punch whoever his father was lol. so even if he does find out, he’s definitely not gonna suddenly be all ~proud baratheon~ and wanting justice for his father

miladyaryastark replied to your photoset: 8x02 // 8x04

do people think it’s goodbye like he’s dying? he’s seen stood perfectly healthy in the trailer lol

 I don’t know why they think it’s a goodbye kiss. Maybe people are just afraid to hope for the best outcome? And they’re like preparing themselves for some suffering (which i don’t think it’s going to come, for them at least)?

[miladyaryastark]

do you ever wanna do a face reveal on here but worry ur next door neighbour is actually the mutual you’ve had for years lmao

[captainfangirlll]

So I gonna put in this post all the proves we have for Gendrya end up together feel free to comment if you know more and I will add it:

1) Joe in Spain

We all know Joe filmed in spain and also knows how the show ends, we know they only give the scripts to the actors who are actually in the episodes, bc Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont) told she only got the ones she appeared, so she don’t know how it ends but Joe said he does, so hes gonna be in the next 2 episodes.

2) Maisie and Joe interviews

As I told you guys you can’t buy what they said in interviews bc they are terrified to let escape spoilers, is on their contracts (just remember how Maisie acted on Jimmy Kimmel) the things you have to analyzes are the hints, and these two idiots gave us a lot.

(Yes these are Maisie and Joe dancing on this gif)

- Maisie almost said Arya was romantic and then changed it for Sansa bc it was a spoiler, When in seven hells has Arya been romantic? Not yet guys but based on this we will see it.

- Joe making Gendrya press for the final episodes, why? what’s the need to talk about a dead couple in a newspaper like New york times with just 2 episodes left?

- Maisie saying Arya will be torn, so we can assume she will have to make a decision and that decision is about feelings and revenge, so her arc is about that and who is the one who has been doing Arya awake feelings? Gendry, not Jon, not Starks: Gendry, why it have to be him? They could easily use Jon or Sansa but they did it with Gendry, so when Arya reconnects her feelings he is the one she will look for.

- Joe said his arc this season is about recconect with Arya. Coincidence?

- And this Diamonds Joe gave us in his last interviews:

"I don’t think necessarily that all the trimmings that come with Lords of Storm's End are really the kinds of things that he was after. Power and the land and the wealth that you would imagine Gendry would acquire now, that’s all kind of superfluous to him. I think the main thing that he would take from it is the legitimacy and that he’s no longer a bastard. The fact that he’s been recognized as a legitimate son of somebody—it can be as simple as that.

Uh oh! So he can just take the name and go away? Yes, but also he don’t mind he just want to be someone family, simple as that.

“Afterward, possibly it’s the realization that she’s not, at least not now, capable of that kind of love, because of what she’s been through.”

“Gendry is ver attracted to the woman Arya has become, but all the things he likes about her are the thing that will never her be with him that way”

So Joe and his big mouth is actually saying in that moment Arya is not ready but she will be in other way in future?

This Maisie gave us:

“It was really interesting because it’s a very human relationship for Arya,” Williams says. “This is something she’s stayed away from, an emotion we’ve never really seen her engage with."

YOU SEE FOOLS IT WASNT JUST SEX!

3) Beric Dondarrrion actor and The Hound

Beric’s actor said his final words to Arya were cut and it was only a word “Live” and what is the thing The Hound said to Gendry when he’s looking for Arya?

“The dead are dead. You are not” that was the phrase he said to approve Gendrya relationship...

4) They cut Gendrya part from GoT Behind scenes

Why? If the relationship was over and the arc closed they could have easily talk about that as a closed arc because it wouldn’t be anything to spoil about, but they didn’t why? Also Maisie haven’t mention a word about that scene not even on twitter just Joe, that’s because we can’t know Arya’s perspective yet, because we all know she does love him.

5) Gendryas love theme

The theme is not completed yet, and if their arc is finished we all know the theme would have been completed, and there is no way ramin djawadi (GoT musical composer) wouldn’t finish a theme, so we can assumed is gonna be another scene when their theme will be complete.

I let you more about this point (is a very huge analysis aboout Arya musical themes in the show) here:

6) They filmed in Storms End

So this is actually an information by: @miladyaryastark im very grateful for this fbi abilities, the GOT crew filmed in cushendun caves, know as Storms End because they have filmed before there the scene with Melissandre and shadow baby, so the scene was filmed the same day Maisie said goodbye to GoT on instagram bc she filmed her last scene, we know the last scene Maisie filmed was alone so this is a theory but what if the last scene she filmed was in a horse in the way to Storms ends? then if she filmed something with Joe for Gendrya endgame could have been filmed before that, bc it would be inside the castle and that not necessarily have to be filmed in cushendun caves.

7) THE LEAKS

This is just for all the cunts out there believe this things, first you don’t have to believe everything said on reddit, if is not a trusted sourced it can’t be true at least they have a solid prove like images or something stronger, also the leaks that are from trusted sources (the ones have failed with information already) don’t mention Arya at all. So stop the crap.

8) THE SCARS

In the sex scene between Arya and Gendry the director said that they let Maisie decide how much nudity she will show, but also they said to her that the part when Gendry see the scars was important. I haven’t see the importance until now, at least we have an scene about that in next episodes?

9) NOT A LADY BUT A LORD OF HOLDFAST

In the comments @reyloshiiiper remember me the conversation between Arya and Ned first season, and that conversation is the one when Arya said to Ned that she’s not a Lady “That’s no me”.

Arya asked Ned about Bran and Ned told her Bran is not gonna be a Kingsguard as he dreamed but he can be a Lord of a Holdfast and Arya said

— Can I be lord of a holdfast?

But then Ned gave her the talk about marry a high lord and be a lady, and that’s when Arya said that’s not me. But she see herself in a holdfast ruling it, we know Gendry don’t even know how to use a fork🤷🏻‍♀️ So Who would be the one rulling the Casttle? Arya.

Also other interesting thing is that in the same episode we see Gendry for the first time. Coincidence?

Let you the scene:

https://youtu.be/cve-FeN9etg

10) ARCORN GENDRYA REFERENCES FROM BOOKS IN ARYA APPEARANCE

We all know Arcorn is a Gendrya thing based on the books, in SO1E04, we meet Gendry for the first time, and Arya in that episode happens to be wearing a dress decorated with acorns. And this latest seasons Aryas hair have changed a lot she use now an Acorn bun hair, but not always just in specific scenes like the episode where Davos goes to get Gendry from King’s Landing (S07E05), his reintroduction again, and this season she used that Acorn bun hair in all episodes but not in 3, the only episode she don’t have scenes with Gendry. I let you the original article here: g

https://www.quora.com/What-is-something-you-noticed-in-Game-of-Thrones-S8E4-that-you-believe-others-have-missed/answer/Angela-Florence-3?ch=10&share=a7eafd44&srid=TU353

11) THE FEATHERBED SONG

We are so lucky beacuse Gendrya have a own love theme in the show and an own love song in books, in books is the featherbed song, and it happens that the song tells a history about a lord who propose a girl who don’t want to marry but at the end they accept their love in the woods! and is practically Gendrya history this season I will put the letters and made comments between them:

“My featherbed is deep and soft,

and there I’ll lay you down,

I’ll dress you all in yellow silk (Baratheon colors)

and on your head a crown.

For you shall be my lady love,

and I shall be your lord.

I’ll always keep you warm and safe,

and guard you with my sword. (Gendry’s proposal)

And how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree.

She spun away and said to him,

no featherbed for me. (Arya’s rejection)

I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves,

and bind my hair with grass,

But you can be my forest love,

and me your forest lass.” (Endgame)

So we are actually at the middle of the song❤️.

So if you have more evidence (veridic one not reddit crap) comment and I will added it! We wait for Gendrya 6 fucking years when everyone told us that will never happen and look where are we know, waiting for their endgame.

[danysghost-archive]

Concept:

for the gendrya fix it fic im very close to writing. this is gonna be very detailed, very full of spoilers, and only slightly incoherent. so strap in folks. 

so everything up until the sacking of kings landing still happens (kinda). rhaegal dies, but instead it’s during the battle for winterfell protecting jon (bc lets be real, letting him survive through that and THEN get killed, is cruel). missandei doesn’t get kidnapped, but dany’s fleet is still wrecked by euron. 

the first parts of 8x05 still happen (dany destroying the iron fleet and blowing out the city gates). the golden company gets to fight a bit but ultimately still lose. jaime finds cersei in the throne room trying to escape, he kills her but she unfortunately takes him down too. 

the bells still ring, but dany doesn’t burn down the city. she tells jon and tyrion that she doesn’t want to risk becoming that angry or close to destruction ever again, and steps down from her quest for the throne. she elects to stay on dragonstone though. 

a council of roughly the same people from 8x06 get together to decide what to do next. after a lot of deliberation, gendry accepts the role of king, and appoints the leaders of each of the 7 kingdoms as his political council. dany is princess of dragonstone, yara is queen of the iron islands, sansa is queen in the north, prince martell (who i headcanon as quentyn martell) still exists, bronn is lord of highgarden, brienne returns north with sansa. quentyn is master of ships, davos is his hand, sam is his maester, podrick is commander of the kingsguard, jon is master of laws, and tyrion is master of coin. 

(for context, what i’m counting as the seven kingdoms are: the vale, the riverlands, the crownlands, the westerlands, the stormlands, the reach, and dorne. this excludes the north and the iron islands as independent kingdoms.) 

after this, gendry once again proposes to arya, making it clear he does not expect her to be a traditional lady. he says they can rule together, with equal decision making power. she accepts, but says she also wants to travel and explore. she sails out every other month to do her thing, and still spends time with gendry in KL. 

at the start of the fic: gendry and arya have been married for a year, and she’s on her way back from her latest expedition with some big news. 

PLEASE give me feedback on this!! the more traction it gets, the more likely i am to write it!!! i appreciate each and every person who reads and reblogs this <3 <3

here are some very lovely people who said i could tag them! @jessforthethrone @miladyaryastark @aryaenastark

[bonesgadh]

My opinion on what the future may hold for Gendrya (or a shipper’s desperate rant).

This is a very long post. It basically consists of me analizing evidence that points to Arya and Gendry being endgame. The reason why I decided to write this is because I want to give hope to some Gendrya shippers out there who were left pretty devastated after what happened on Sunday. Of course I can’t know for sure if all this shit will mean anything in the end, for all I know the failed proposal was Gendrya’s last scene and we are facing a bigger heartbreak. Still I wanted to share with you the reasons why I’m feeling optimistic and I really hope I can make you feel optimistic as well. Please forgive any grammar/spelling mistakes because, although I do my best, english is not my first language :)

First, some shout-outs:

To @chocolatecarstairs for this wonderful post that points out how Arya and Gendry are pretty much redoing their story. You gave me the idea to write this :)

To @captainfangirlll for reminding me we still haven’t seen Gendry addressing Arya’s scars. I had forgotten that very important detail.

To @miladyaryastark for proving nothing is more effective than a fan with a quest and providing evidence that the show will go back to Storm’s End at some point.

To every fan who has mentioned how this recent turn of events is basically a live action version of “My Featherbed”, especially @ladywolfandbastardbull and @forehead451 for these two wonderful analysis.

 Last but not least to my mom™ for ranting with me every day of this damn week. Love you mom :)

Okay, let’s begin:

The “I reject you not because I don’t love you, but because I’m not ready to be with you” scene

I was born in the Bones fandom. Those of you who have followed me since I first got into this hellfire of a website know it. Temperance Brennan is my life guru and there’s no show, book or movie that has taught me more about love and life than Bones. 

When the now infamous episode 4 aired I saw a striking similitude between the Gendrya scene and a scene from the 100th episode of Bones. I don’t know if you have ever seen the show but the main couple are Booth & Brennan. He has been in love with her for a while and on that episode he finally makes his move and tells her he wants to give their relationship a shot. Brennan rejects him but you can tell she is suffering because she also has feelings for him, although she doesn’t want to risk ruining their relationship and she doesn’t want to take a leap of faith because her life is basically shit and she has been burnt before. Eventually and after some angst —him getting into a relationship with someone else, jealous Brennan— she realizes she loves him too and decides to give her relationship with Booth a shot and they have a baby and get married —although she said she would never do it— and they live happily ever after.

The Gendrya scene follows a very similar path. There’s an undeniable attraction between Arya and Gendry, an attraction that is years in the making. Although Arya was the first one to make her move with the whole “we are probably going to die” line, you could say them having sex only happened because it was an extreme situation and because of the threat of imminent death. Now that they have left that behind Gendry makes his move and confesses his love to Arya *sobs*, only to be rejected by her in a kind but still very sad way, and his heart clearly shatters in a million pieces.

I’m gonna take a risk here and say I know Arya pretty well —I identify with her a lot, actually—, and I’m certain one of the reasons behind her rejection is her fear of giving her heart to Gendry only to lose him as she has lost everything she has ever loved. Every person who has suffered loss, especially catastrophic loss develops a fear of attachment because they know firsthand that nothing lasts forever, and they are scared of being hurt again. Like they said in Grey’s Anatomy (back when it was good): “Fears means you have something to lose”; it was obvious Arya was terrified during the Battle of Winterfell and there were also traces of fear in her face as Gendry word-vomited his feelings for her. This has been said a lot in other posts so it might come across as repetitive, but Arya has lost so much and she is not willing to lose anything else (ironically by rejecting Gendry she is “losing him”, but at least she believes he still has a chance of finding happiness with another woman like @apiratecalledav mentions here.  Selflessness with a bit of the good ole self destruction).

Still, I firmly believe Arya will recapacitate and something will happen that will make her realize what she feels for Gendry is worth fighting for. My guess is it’ll have something to do with The Hound (you can read my theory below), and whatever happens will show her that it’s okay to be scared of loss, but that life is better when you are with those you love, even if it’s just for a little while. When she comes to this realization she will feel comfortable enough to let Gendry know how she really feels about him, how afraid she is of losing him again and how she is willing to fight her own demons in order to find peace and happiness with him, something that is long overdue (just like it happens on Bones. Seriously, you should watch it if you haven’t already. It’s full of life lessons).

Arya’s final lesson

I already wrote this in another post, you can read it here. The Hound will be crucial for our ship to stay alive.

Arya’s issue with letting go/Being “torn”

When Gendry tells Arya she is beautiful and that he loves her, her face is a very interesting mix of surprise, fear and awe. She is clearly so overwhelmed with what he just said that she can’t bring herself to say a word, because he literally took her breath away with his kiss. It’s quite an unusual reaction on Arya’s part as she always seems to be so calm and prepared for anything, which says a lot of how much Gendry’s lovely speech caught her off guard. I can’t help but wonder what she would’ve said if he hadn’t proposed, if his speech had ended with “None of it will be worth anything if you are not with me”.

One of Arya’s main traits is her issue with letting go. She can’t let go of her desire of returning to Winterfell, she can’t let go of Needle when Jaqen asks her to, she can’t let go of her identity as Arya Stark, she can’t let go of her list and her thirst of revenge even though she defeated the personification of death and a man gave his life for her to live. But if there’s one thing Arya hasn’t been able to let go as well is her feelings for Gendry. Maisie said it herself, the moment Arya reconnects with him she can’t help but remember the girl she used to be and how she was so in love with Gendry she was willing to follow him to the end of the world. Back in seasons 2 and 3 Arya was still a girl who wanted to be with Gendry but his mind was clearly set on something else. Now it’s the other way around, Gendry is head over heels in love with Arya but her mind is set on something else. 

Now that Arya’s old feelings for Gendry have risen to the surface, my guess is they will be addressed on the next two episodes because his proposal clearly shook her to her foundations. She will be torn —as Maisie said she would— between her thirst for revenge and her desire of being with Gendry and fulfilling a dream she had when she was thirteen years old. This will obviously be very hard for her because her list is what kept her alive all those years she spent away from home, it’s like giving up your lifesaver because you are ready to learn how to swim. And I want my girl to give that step, to chose life (yes I know you are tired of reading that expression everywhere but I can’t think of a better way to describe her options).

The three acts

This fucking show loves foreshadowing and mirroring scenes. Thanks to @chocolatecarstairs amazing post I noticed we have seen Gendrya complete two full cycles.

Cycle #1  

Arya and Gendry meet in King’s Landing.

Gendry defends Arya from Hot Pie.

Arya tells Gendry about her real identity.

Arya shows traces of being attracted to Gendry.

Arya asks Gendry to go with her to Winterfell and says she can be his family.

Gendry refuses her proposal in a very gentile way because he believes his fate to be somewhere else, and because he isn’t drawn to serving others forever.

Gendry leaves (unintentionally but still) and she goes with The Hound to Winterfell.

End of the first act.

Cycle #2

Arya and Gendry meet again in Winterfell.

Arya defends Gendry from The Hound.

Gendry tells Arya about his real identity.

Gendry shows traces of being attracted to Arya.

Gendry asks Arya to marry him and to be the Lady of Storm’s End.

Arya refuses his proposal in a very gentile way because (we assume) she believes her fate to be somewhere else, and because she isn’t drawn to the life he is offering her as a lord.

Arya leaves and she goes with The Hound to King’s Landing.

End of the second act.

At this point they are pretty much even. Now some people would take this as proof they have come full circle and that their story is over, but I disagree. Cycle #3 is still yet to unfold and I’m betting a large sum of money they will repeat the process one last time. If my analysis of @chocolatecarstairs analysis (Lol) is correct, my guess is their story is following the A-B-A structure.

They meet in King’s Landing (his birthplace)—they see each other again in Winterfell (her birthplace) —therefore they will reunite in King’s Landing (back to his birthplace and where their relationship began).

She is shown to be attracted to him—he is shown to be attracted to her—she will be shown to be attracted to him (although they kind of already showed that but work with me).

She told him she loved him (or that’s how I interpret the “I can be your family” quote)—he told her he loved her—now she will be the one to tell him she loves him.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome, right? Well, if they actually want to be together, they will need to do something to disrupt the pattern (something Bones also taught me). Now, how will they do it?

Let’s play attention to this scene that has already been referenced:

She asks him to come with her to Winterfell but he refuses—He asks her to come with him to Storm’s End but she refuses—?

AHA! Here’s where the pattern will break!

My guess is the key is in the final moment that will be mirrored:

“Last time you saw me you wanted me to come to Winterfell. Took the long road, but…”

(I don’t know if he says “road” or something that sounds very similar. If I’m wrong feel free to correct me).

Thanks to @miladyaryastark’s post I learned they filmed some stuff in the Cushendun Caves, which was used as location for Storm’s End back in season 2. It was actually the last known location for season 8 although I don’t think we have any idea who filmed there (logic points to Joe because Gendry is the new Lord but who knows?) Anyway, let’s suspend reality for a second and suppose both Joe and Maisie filmed there. I would love a callback to Gendry’s quote but this time Arya is the one who delivers it:

“Last time you saw me you wanted me to come to Storm’s End. Took the long road, but…”

And this is how this scene would bring an end to the third act of their story:

Gendry leaves Arya—Gendry returns to her—Arya leaves Gendry—Arya returns to him.

It would even be a different structurem from A-B-A to A-B-A-B. 

Full circle.

I would die if a scene like that makes it to the finale.

The symbolism of Arya’s target practice

We have seen Arya practicing her archery and being interrupted by Gendry twice now. First time in episode 2 and then in episode 4. My mom™ says both scenes are extremely symbolic and perfectly represent their relationship. Let me elaborate:

Arya’s archery practice is meant to represent her goal of killing Cersei. Why? Because when you are practicing archery you are basically aiming for a target. You need to concentrate in order to hit it, and a little distraction can cause you to miss. Arya’s main desire is to kill Cersei, she is her target. That’s why she looks so concentrated as she shoots and why she pretty much hides to practice, she is not willing to let anything or anyone distract her from her objective. She kills the Night King and instead of celebrating with the others, she chooses to go back to focus on her target instead. The Long Night was a distraction, but now she’s ready to return to her goal.

Along comes Gendry.

As I just mentioned, the first time he interrupts her is in episode 2 when he delivers her weapon. She makes a pause in her practice (a.k.a. her mission) to talk to him and, you know, ride him. The second time happens in episode 4, when Gendry literally comes between her and her target and she almost pierces his head with an arrow. This time she also makes a pause to listen to what he is saying to her, she even puts down the bow for a moment as she kisses him. After she rejects his proposal she goes back to shooting arrows, which symbolizes her returning to her target.

What can we conclude from this? That Gendry is the only one who can literally make her turn away from her target (wow I’m using the world “literally” too much). He can get her to forget about her objective, even if it’s only for a little while. He is her distraction, and I believe he will be the reason why she won’t be the one to kill Cersei.

Arya’s scars

Another thing my mom™ pointed out regarding Arya’s scars (thanks @captainfangirlll for reminding us the director said they will be important) is the fact that no one else besides Gendry has seen them. She noticed this, which probably caught her off guard because he is the first person she shows them to. You look at Arya and the first thing that catches your eye is her cold demeanor and seemingly overconfident attitude, you would never imagine her body is full of scars that remind her all the time someone tried to kill her and almost succeeds. Her scars represent her vulnerability, that she can be hurt, that’s why she hasn’t shown them to anybody. But Gendry saw them. The moment she catches him staring at them she demands him to take his pants off. She doesn’t want him to stare because that gives him an intel of how vulnerable she really is, and she doesn’t like that. He literally saw her scars which is very symbolic. I don’t think anyone has seen her that naked since she was a baby tbh.

The live action version of “My Featherbed”

I don’t have much to say about this because other fans have made a much better job than me (@ladywolfandbastardbull and @forehead451 for example). What I can say is I’m certain the lyrics of the song will play an important part :) 

I honestly have no idea how Gendrya will end the show. Will they marry? I have no idea. Will Gendry give up his newfound fame and fortune to sail west of Westeros with her? Probably. Will Arya realize she doesn’t have to be a traditional lady and that Gendry would never ask her to be something she is not? Hopefully. Will Gendry be crowned King and Arya will go back to Winterfell, never to see each other again? God, I hope not. 

But what I believe, in my heart, is that they will be endgame. How? If only I knew. Maisie said Arya’s arc this season revolves around her regaining her humanity and finding herself after years of misery. Joe said Gendry’s arc is very tightly linked to Arya’s. They brought Gendry back to make a statement, for us to see a side of Arya we hadn’t really seen before. For her to remember the person she used to be and the one she could still be. Remember this until May 19th. Don’t give into despair. For the love of God, get the fuck away from reddit and spoilers. Trust in the story they have told us since season 1.

Feel free to share your opinions with me. I only ask you, for the love of all that is holy, to NOT post spoilers or pseudo leaks. I don’t want to know and there are others who don’t want to know either. Please respect our decision :)

How many besties do you have and how many of them can you name? (You don't have to but I'm just curious if I'm the list, and saying on anon 'cause I don't wanna sound ungrateful or make feel guilty or anything) (you know what? You can ignore this post, i'm already regretting asking but sending it anyway because I got to ask 😊😊😊)

Im glad you asked, Nonnie! (And don’t worry, you don’t sound bad or anything. I DO proclaim bestie-hood a lot and it’s perfectly reasonable for you to wonder just how many there are!) I actually keep a pretty good log of who I’ve bestied, so imma just tag them all! (For the record, I log mutuals on my bestie list so if you’re not on there and you want to be, please tell me! I’d love love love to have another bestie! Also, if you’d rather not be besties with me I won’t be offended if you tell me!) (Yikes it’s high time I did a forever follow list.... I should probably get on that...)

tagged by @lordmalak to share 6 sentences from a WIP! 

the fury “Where’d’ we even get this?” He asks, pulling on the one-shouldered cloak. It’s black on the outside, the inside lined with soft, golden fabric he doesn’t know the name of. Silk, maybe? His clumsy fingers do up the clasp, which looks like antlers interlocking. 

Brienne stands to his side. When she’d shown up in a dark leather doublet with a golden-yellow skirt, he’d been more moved than he’d care to admit. Doubly so when Pod arrived in similar, Baratheon colors. 

“Davos and I procured them for you,” she says sounding a little sad, and looking at him in a way that makes him think she’s seeing someone else. “They were your uncle’s.”

His hands go numb and cold. “Stannis?”

“No.” Brienne smiles. “Renly.”

@flamingjets @miladyaryastark It's this one 😊 The 2nds last gif (you can see that Gendry starts to lean in as Arya starts to move forward)

Three times Gendry called her M’lady and the one time he called her Arya

So I added a short prologue to the start of my fic so it would flow more naturally! Since it started as a one shot that I continued, I thought it started too abruptly. Hope that if you have been reading the fic you’ll take time to check it out! 💛💛
