Day 4 of @nedcatweek: "Do you need some help with that?"
Inspired by @lycorim's 'Weresigils AU,' which I have been looking for a reason to write about since I first saw it over a year ago! Absolutely cracked fluff; literal wolf Starks with one human Catelyn. 931 words; divider by @/saradika.
The first rays of sunlight glinted across the snow. Winterfell’s godswood was quiet, save for a soft crunching—one pair of boots, three sets of paws. They made their way to the heart tree, where the boots stopped, their owner sitting upon one of the ancient roots. Two sets of paws meandered about the frozen pool in front of the massive weirwood, while the third stopped beside the boots, waiting just a moment before the fronts were placed on a thigh with a soft whine.
Catelyn smiled and bent down, pulling Rickon onto her lap. He licked her cheek, then curled up, watching Arya and Bran circle the pool, snuffling in the snow. Although it had been sixteen years, Catelyn still did not feel quite at ease here, surrounded by her husband’s gods. But having her children with her always made her more comfortable, even when they were in their canine forms instead of their human ones.
They had only been at the heart tree a few minutes when Arya and Bran suddenly lifted their heads and looked to the south. They glanced at Catelyn, who nodded, then ran off, snow flying up behind them. Their excited yipping reached her a moment later, making her smile and enticing Rickon to sit up. Another minute, then they were running back, each carrying a rabbit; Robb loped easily just behind them with a pair of beavers in his mouth. He placed them at her feet and sat, awaiting her approval. Catelyn reached out and gently stroked his head. Robb leaned into her touch for a breath, then Ned came into view, walking oddly, with Sansa skipping, as much as a wolf could, beside him. Robb stood and picked up his beavers, moving to the side. Rickon hopped from her lap to investigate his eldest sibling’s kills, and Catelyn got to her feet, walking towards her husband and daughter.
“Is that a bull elk?” Catelyn asked, astonished, realizing why Ned could not simply jog across the godswood as he had so many times before. Sansa pranced up to her, letting out a joyful bark.
“You took it down?” Another bark. “I am very impressed.”
Ned dragged the elk to the base of the heart tree, where Robb was laying with Rickon, snout already buried in one of the beavers, sitting on his front legs. Sansa sat proudly beside her kill as Arya and Bran bounded over with more excited yipping. Ned affectionately bumped his forehead against Sansa’s, then turned back to Catelyn.
For a moment they stared at each other. He was huge, his head level with her chest, with canines the size of her hand and paws the size of her face. She ought to be terrified of such a creature. But then he flopped down with a great sigh, looking up at her dolefully, and she shook her head, smiling.
“Alright, alright.” Catelyn spread out the blanket she had brought with her, then sat beside him. Ned rolled onto his side, placing his gigantic head in her lap and closing his eyes. She buried her fingers in his ruff, slowly dragging them through the incredibly soft fur.
“Did you eat already?” Catelyn asked.
Ned huffed.
“You’ll go out again later, then?”
He placed his paw on her shin, rubbing his cheek against her thighs.
“Do not tell me not to worry. I am very glad that you take such good care of our pups, Eddard, but you must also eat.”
Ned growled softly.
“That is unbecoming.”
Another huff, then he turned his head and licked her gloved palm.
“Apology accepted.”
They sat in silence as their children ate, enjoying the winter sun. Rickon quickly finished and immediately scrambled onto Ned to curl up again, still small enough that the cold bothered him. After cleaning up every scrap of meat from the collected kills, the other four, bellies full and fur warmed by the sunshine, took off through the snow, chasing one another, knocking each other down and playfully batting and nipping. Rickon watched them for a few minutes, then, apparently deciding he would rather face the cold than be left out, slid from his bed of Ned and bounded after them. Catelyn continued to scratch at Ned’s neck, smiling at the awkward way Rickon moved, his paws too big for his legs, which were in turn too long for his body.
“We shall have another one soon,” Catelyn said quietly.
Ned’s eyes opened and he tilted his head to look up at her. Catelyn held her breath, smiling down at him. Ned flipped himself upright, blinked twice at her, then began sniffing her intently, wolfy brow furrowed almost comically. After a minute he pulled back, looking happy, then he quickly sat up and leaned in, and—
“Ned!” Catelyn laughed, his tongue hot on her neck. “Oh! You know I hate when you do that!” Ned pressed his forehead to her cheek and sighed, his tail swiping furiously across the snow. This clearly was more emotion than he wished to express, for Ned quickly leaned back again and snapped at his tail. Catelyn covered her mouth, trying not to giggle at him as he attempted to capture his tail, still wagging, with either paws or mouth.
“Do you need some help with that, husband?” Catelyn asked, unable to keep the amusement from her voice. Ned, apparently resigning himself to a temporary lack of stoicism, sighed and laid down beside her, his chin on his paws, his body against her legs. His tail continued to wag behind them as their children played in the snow.

tfw you spend half an hour on A Search of Ice and Fire trying to fact-check a very minor detail because you vividly remember Jaime Lannister describing himself with dyslexic tendencies during the White Book scene, coming up with nothing and feeling insane only to figure out that it's a fucking show-exclusive detail.......
top 10 characters who would personally benefit from lesbianism:
1- Catelyn. This is how she beats the patriarchy out of her brain once and for all. Canon woman respecter, she just needs that last restraint to drop before she becomes a true menace to Westerosi society (positive).
2- Brienne. Doesn't need to practice per se, but seeing that there are standards of worth outside of the straight male mind would probably do numbers. This is how the patriarchy dies.
3- Asha. Would definitely be freeing for her, but not higher on the list because she's already in the gayest straight situationship of all time and it seems to be working fine for her. Maybe her boyfriends should dick down though.
4- Sansa. She needs her little teenage crush on Myranda Royce to sink into her soul and give her the clarity and strength to throw every man in her life off of a roof.
5- House Mormont of Bear Island. They are THIIIIS close to a manless society. Free yourselves, ladies.
6- Barbrey Dustin. Girl get over him.
7- Jeyne W. (Gently) Girl get over him.
8- Those House of the Dragon bitches. I haven’t seen the show but idk it’s probably better than any of the straight options. For them and no one else.
9- Dany. It just needs to not be the weird obligation sex she has with Irri and Jhiqui.
10- Cersei. Funny in theory, could be enlightening for her. But in practice it was bad for everyone in a ten mile radius. Hate to say this but maybe she should stick to her twin brother.
My hot take is that Ned and Catelyn are the quintessential 5’9 guy vs 5’9 woman dichotomy where she seems very tall and imposing by virtue of her husband being remarkably mid in height
Lycorim wrote me a fantastic gift! Thank you so much again!
Much Unchanged on Ao3
“Edmyn and Artos, the second and third trueborn sons of Eddard Stark, have always been at one another's throats. Edmyn, with his wistful romanticism and gentle, soft-hearted nature, longs for a life of chivalry promised to him from his mother's Southron songs. Artos could not care less for dreams and fancy, but resents his elder brother for getting opportunity and squireships when he is (in Artos's own words) a big sissy.
Their move to King's Landnding and the subsequent Tourney for the Hand, held in their lord father's honor, helps their bickering none. Poor Ned just thinks daughters would have been easier.

Or, a Sansa and Arya genderbend fic where nothing really changes all that much.”

I asked this AU because I was interested to see their new dynamic since they didn't really change characters, but they switched their roles as "the dutiful child" and "the child to worry about". I was very inspired and drew fan-art for this work!
I also tried new coloring technic and I think it looks good
