Can I just send out a huge thank you to @sansagiggled​ for making this great Playgirl magazine cover for When Fire and Metal Collide. It’s amazing, I’m so in love with sexy Sandor and sexy Sansa calling each other up on the phone.

SanSan / Modern AU: An aspiring model in King’s Landing, Sansa Stark is eager to make it big. Her unlikely break comes when the Mad Dog of Metal, Sandor Clegane, chooses her to participate in a once in a lifetime photoshoot. When this good girl, who is kissed by fire, meets the bad boy of Heavy Metal, sparks will fly and Sansa will find her resolve to maintain her squeaky clean image put to the test.

Sandor and Sansa can't stop, won't stop touching each other

So after having another attack of Sansan feels, I was compelled to blog about them again, and it occurred to me that these two are ALWAYS touching one another. In fact, in nearly every single Sansa chapter, from the beginning to the end of their interactions, they are making bodily contact. Here’s the proof for your shipping pleasure:

AGOT: 

1. Their first encounter:

Strong hands grasped her by the shoulders, and for a moment Sansa thought it was her father, but when she turned, it was the burned face of Sandor Clegane looking down at her, his mouth twisted in a terrible mockery of a smile. “You are shaking, girl,” he said, his voice rasping. “Do I frighten you so much?”

2. After the Hand’s tourney, when he is escorting her back to her room:

Sandor Clegane put a huge hand under her chin and forced her face up. He squatted in front of her, and moved the torch close… His fingers held her jaw as hard an iron trap. His eyes watched hers. Drunken eyes, sullen with anger. She had to look…

The silence went on and on, so long that she began to grow afraid once more, but she was afraid for him now, not for herself. She found his massive shoulder with her hand. “He was no true knight,” she whispered to him…

The Hound caught her by the arm and leaned close. “The things I told you tonight,” he said, his voice sounding even rougher than usual…

3. In the aftermath of her father’s death when Joffrey comes to her: 

Sandor Clegane scooped her up around the waist and lifted her off the featherbed as she struggled feebly. Her blanket fell to the floor. Underneath she had only a thin bedgown to cover her nakedness. “Do as you’re bid, child” Clegane said. “Dress.” He pushed her toward her wardrobe, almost gently. 

“Here, girl.” Sandor Clegane knelt before her, between her and Joffrey. With a delicacy surprising in such a big man, he dabbed at the blood welling from her broken lip. 

ACOK:

4. Returning from the godswood:

She was racing headlong down the serpentine steps when a man lurched out of a hidden doorway. Sansa caromed into him and lost her balance. Iron fingers caught her by the wrist before she could fall, and a deep voice rasped at her… 

The Hound gave her a push, oddly gentle, and followed her down the steps. By the time they had reached the bottom, he had lapsed back into a brooding silence, as if he had forgotten she was there. 

“That one there is nothing to fear, girl. The Hound laid a heavy hand on her shoulder. “Paint stripes on a toad, he does not become a tiger.“ 

"A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he’ll look you straight in the face.” He cupped her under her jaw, raising her chin, his fingers pinching her painfully. “And that’s more than little birds can do, isn’t it? I never got my song." 

5. After the riot:

Sandor Clegane cantered briskly through the gates astride Sansa’s chestnut courser. The girl was seated behind, both arms tight around the Hound’s chest.

6. On the eve of the Blackwater battle, atop Maegor’s Holdfast: 

A stab went through her, so sharp that Sansa sobbed and clutched at her belly. She might have fallen, but a shadow moved suddenly and strong fingers grabbed at her arm and steadied her. 

7. Night of the battle; Sansa’s room:

"I could keep you safe,” he rasped. “They’re all afraid of me. No one would hurt you again, or I’d kill them. He yanked her closer, and for a moment she thought he was going to kiss her. He was too strong to fight. 

Some instinct made her hand and cup his cheek with her fingers. The room was too dark for her to see him, but she could feel the stickiness of the blood and a wetness that was not blood. 

My brief, completely unnecessary analysis: 

Physical contact has been a hallmark of their relationship right from the start. Whether Sandor is being gentle in his touch, or roughly holding her jaw in place,  he’s never been afraid of touching her in order to communicate frustration and anger, or comfort and reassurance. Sansa on the other hand, touches him mostly to confer empathy and understanding. Even in the chapters where there’s no physical contact, we still see a natural connection between the two: the name day tourney when the Hound backs up her lie to Joffrey, and later when she’s beaten in the court and he passes her his cloak. Their moments of contact can be classified in three main categories: accidental, intentional and instinctive, which happen to mirror the development of their relationship in King’s Landing, as they are gradually drawn together in a kind of perverse camaraderie. It’s fitting then that their final time together should see them reaching a climax of sorts in physical intimacy, as the dark confines of her bedroom provide the perfect setting to give vent to the emotional strains that have been building in both of them. Between his pulling her closer, and later when she cups his cheek and feels the mixture of blood and tears, they’ve each managed to communicate something that goes way beyond what they were capable of dealing with at that particular time. What is clear though, is that the familiarity they’ve achieved with one another and the desire it seems to inspire afterwards, holds within it a promise for future fulfillment (if, you know, GRRM doesn’t turn into a massive troll).

I think of Sandor and Sansa here

‘Sweet lady, all men are fools, and all men are knights, where women are concerned.’

I love this quote. My grandma used to tell me men are fools and weak regarding women, I was too little and I did not really understand what she meant,

Her Ladyship was on fire. Sandor was sure that, had anyone touched her, they would have burned, so was the heat of her northern temper. He knew that blue flames burned hotter and longer than red ones, and Sansa Stark possessed both. Her curled, red hair looked alive in the backlighting of the parliament room, flickering in a way that reflected her dismay. Her beautiful cerulean eyes danced with a biting intelligence that would intimidate any man, woman or beast. Except for me, but I’ve already been burned once before. Perhaps the second time is sweeter than the first, Sandor’s defeatist humor getting the better of him.

Sansa’s eye went back to Clegane’s damned photo and she felt a pang of arousal in her loins. It was unusual for her to be fixated on a man like Clegane, someone so vastly different from her. They were from two different worlds. Two different people who would otherwise have never cross paths. He surely had no interest in her, his wall of indifference thick and part of his job. She knew it was highly unprofessional of her to want to run her fingers through his mess of thick chest hair, nibble his skin down his abs and use her breasts and lips to bring him to a full erection.
