commission based on Lady Hawke done by @insaneption

I wish the Hound were here. (A Storm of Swords - Sansa I)

"Little bird. I knew you'd come." (A Clash of Kings - Sansa VII)

When the devotion is so deep that he becomes her only security and support, and she becomes his only light in the dark, violent, cynical world its no longer matters whether it is romantic or platonic love.

When he is the only one who never lies to her, when he is the only one who resists her violent impulses and protects her against the world, when she is the only one to whom he tries to be kind, when alive or "dead" he would do anything for her, you can no longer deny that she is his main purpose.

When she stays awake thinking about him every night wondering where he is, when the whole kingdom accuses her of killing the king she only wonders if he hates her, when every other man who protects her seems unsuitable compared to him, when she convinces the man who hates knights and gods to be her protector with kindness alone you know that no one can compete.

They are just two souls who have met and changed their destiny.

Here commission.1 and commission.2.

commission based on The Guarded Bower - Hughes dome by @lambf4rm .

I would be gladder if it were the Hound, Sansa thought. Harsh as he was, she did not believe Sandor Clegane would let any harm come to her.  (A Clash of Kings - Sansa V)

this is the second commission i made and here you can find the first one.

He ridiculized her faith in true kinghts and merciful gods, yet he end up crying for fail in his porpoise to be her white knight and is saved by death thanks to a priest - she has no friend and no hero yet the memories of him risking everything for her is what keep her hopes high.

They changed each others in way none else can do.

commision based on Frankenstein.

"Why do you let people call you a dog? You won't let anyone call you a knight."

"I like dogs better than knights. [..] A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. " (A Clash of Kings - Sansa II)

This is my Christmas present for the stunning Sansan's community as a celebration of the love we all share for this couple and the love they share for each other : romantically or platonically they are each other's world.

the best thing about SanSan is that it doesn't even need to be a romantic love story to be one of GRRM's best demonstration of love and knightly devotion in those books anyway: man walked through terrific flames after being guilty of high treason to the crown just to save the only soul that doesn't see him primarily as a cruel monster and yet still accept her refusal and blame it on none but his own cruel actions. She is accused of high treason against the king, researched to be killed, potraited as enemy of the kingdom and yet all she cares about is if him now hate her.

And obviusly i chose this base because both couples have a story rich of marriage imaginery.

Amazing.

Slow horses is found family but not like family in the sense of a loving support system but family like people to whom you feel an unfortunately permanent and inexplicable obligation to help in times of need

[sancastarcs]

a storm of swords is the book where each of the main pov characters are going through the Terrors™ except from Jaime who is going through a life changing enemies to lovers rom com and i find that hilarious

Hi! I was thinking about how Sandor calls Sansa “little bird”, even in public (for example the bread riot). I thought... he should be embarrassed, right? A big bad warrior having a cute nickname for a girl? I know he says it as an insult... but it later evolves into something else. It’s not common either, I think, knights giving their significant others nicknames. I personally think it makes sansan even more likely to happen. A brute like Sandor wouldn’t call Sansa that just for the heck of it

Well, the bread riot was an exception.  Sandor does not call Sansa “little bird” in public, and he doesn’t do it for a good reason.  Class boundaries are something people are acutely aware of at all times.  Nothing pings someone’s radar faster than too much familiarity or lax observance of the social order.  It’s why Mycah was so terrified when Joffrey and Sansa stumbled upon him and Arya playing with stick swords.  It’s not because he knew what Joffrey was like personally.  It’s because he was caught being too familiar with a noble girl and what could be interpreted as putting on airs of wielding steel like a knight.  Knowing your place is ingrained into everyone’s brain because the consequences for slipping can be disproportionate and violent.  While Sansa is an abused hostage and disgraced daughter of a traitor, she still outranks him by a country mile.  Embarrassment is the least of those worries.  Drawing the wrong attention is just an unnecessary and unwise risk that invites more abuse.  Under normal public circumstances, he refers to her formally or with cool distance like “Lady Sansa” or “the girl.”  Even in private, referring to each other by their first names only would be too intimate.  Sansa refers to him as “the Hound,” by his full name, or last name.  You’re right that “little bird” starts off as an insult and evolves into a term of endearment; however, it also provides him (them) with a comfortable ambiguity that eases any concerns about crossing boundaries of both class and intimacy.  It still often used as a mild dig which maintains a little space in this dance of how they define this thing between them.  

Sandor calling her little bird just after escaping the bread riot was an adrenalin-induced slip.  They were both very nearly killed.  Thankfully, the mob was scared off after Sandor severed one guy’s hand.  If they had instead continued to throw rocks, even with a sword, they would have been easily overpowered and swarmed.  The other saving grace is that everyone else was too stressed and distracted to register the “little bird.”  Most of the knights were focused on the royal family.  Lady Tanda is panicked for her missing daughter.  Some are in shock with witnessing what happened to the High Septon.  Joffrey is raging about treason.  Tyrion is worried that if Sansa is killed, then the Starks will exact their revenge on Jaime. 

There are arguments and infighting about who will go back out and search for her.  It’s then that Sandor enters with Sansa, delivering her safely into the castle with only minor injuries.  

Clegane lifted her to the ground. His white cloak was torn and stained, and blood seeped through a jagged tear in his left sleeve. “The little bird’s bleeding. Someone take her back to her cage and see to that cut.” Maester Frenken scurried forward to obey. “They did for Santagar,” the Hound continued. “Four men held him down and took turns bashing at his head with a cobblestone. I gutted one, not that it did Ser Aron much good.” – Tyrion IX, ACOK.        

If he did notice his own slip, which he probably did, he quickly shifted the focus to Aron Santagar.  Next, he’s asked about Lollys Stokeworth, but since he can’t say anything as to her whereabouts, he then very vocally makes a big to-do about finding his missing horse:  “The Hound glanced around the yard, scowling. “Where’s my horse? If anything’s happened to that horse, someone’s going to pay.“  Not that he doesn’t legitimately care for Stranger, he does, but he probably wants everyone to notice how much he really cares about this horse as a misdirection.  Look here ===> My horse ❤❤❤ Not here ===> “little bird.” 😬 yikes! Then priorities suddenly shift again to the fires in Flea Bottom.  By happenstance and quick thinking, the nickname flew under the radar.  Anyone would assume that Sandor’s rescue of Sansa is simply a matter of protecting his masters’ assets and interests.

The idea of Sandor giving Sansa a nickname, especially one with bird imagery,  isn’t that strange at all when you consider their relationship follows one of courtly love or love that must remain chaste because she is so far above him.  Check out this post from @maidenoftheforestlight  about lady loves described as birds in medieval poetry and songs.

Why do you ship Zutara

Let’s pretend it’s a real question… First, because they just fit well together. Because when I watched the show on TV as a kid, I was convinced they could only end up together. Because the fact that canon went in a different direction from what I imagined inspires me: the thousand ways they could have grown, changed, healed, and come to love each other. Beyond the enemies-to-lovers clichés that attracted me when I was a teenager, I think everything they share, and everything that divides them, leads them to one another. It makes me want to write, draw, and read. But you see, that’s just my opinion, something I enjoy in my free time. I fully understand that other people have different tastes and like different things. I admire many artists who post Zukka or Kataang content, and I think they do beautiful, completely valid work. I could ask you why you feel the need to insult my drawings, but let’s be honest, I don’t care. I just pity people like that.
