On my way to meet real life Ned and Cat Stark, @dknc3 and Mr DKNC3

[bitchfromtheseventhhell]

She remembered her own childish disappointment, the first time she had laid eyes on Eddard Stark. She had pictured him as a younger version of his brother Brandon, but that was wrong. Ned was shorter and plainer of face, and so somber. He spoke courteously enough, but beneath the words she sensed a coolness that was all at odds with Brandon, whose mirths had been as wild as his rages. Even when he took her maidenhood, their love had more of duty to it than of passion. We made Robb that night, though; we made a king together.

@dknc3, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Darla!!!!! :D I hope you’re having an awesome day with your family!! I hope you have a great year, full of bright and good things – have fun today and tonight, and every other day :)

I knew I wanted to do something Star Wars related for you as a present, still including Ned and Catelyn too, of course :) I thought of going full on and doing a crossover, with them as Jedi or in the Rebellion or Resistance; and then I reread this very cute short story, Kindred Spirits by Rainbow Rowell and I planned to do them meeting in line to see (probably) Phantom Menace; but then I went with this!! Also, I have no idea if this is how early screenings happen or critics invitations, so sorry if that’s completely wrong…but I just wanted to do something fun and cute and very Star Wars related!!!

I really hope you enjoy this!!! And once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Catelyn was positively giddy. She had been waiting for this since it was announced five years ago and Ned couldn’t hurry up – if they were late, she was going to honestly kill him. When Ned finally appeared, she couldn’t help but laugh and forget all thoughts of kiling him.

“It still fits!” she exclaimed, surprised. She hadn’t seen that one since they waited in line, for five days, for the premiere of The Phantom Menace, after dropping their children through their various uncles and aunts (and sadly that had been the last line they had made it too). They thought about doing it this year, only Rickon lived at home and he could have stayed home alone, but neither Ned nor Catelyn really believed they could survive five days sleeping on the street.

“Actually, Sansa redid it a bit,” Ned finally answered, showing her the fixed seams.

“You went to see our daughter without me,” Catelyn complained.

“I wouldn’t dare to do that. It was back in October when she was home.”

“She kept it a secret for two months,” she murmured to herself as they moved into the room.”

“A surprise,” he reminded her.

“You still look great as Luke,” she said tracing her hands through his hair and beard that threw off a bit the boyish looks of Luke. But the beige clothes were still the same.

“Probably going to look more like nowadays Luke than the one from back in the eighties.”

“It premiered in 1977,” she said and he smiled at her with a knowingly smile. “I still can’t believe he wasn’t in the trailers,” she said.

“We all know that Han and Carrie were everything you needed,” he told her with a smile.

“Han is Han,” she said.

“I remember your vows, Catelyn.”

“Shut up,” she said with a laugh. “Come on, before we lose anything.”

“How do we get in?” he asked her.

“We need to sign something about not talking about the movie, about not posting anything online.”

“Do they know I can’t even do facebook or that tweety thing?” Ned complained.

“I told them that, still need to sign it. And now they are confused about what we’re doing here – you will be the oldest in costume.”

“The kids call it cosplay now,” Ned said, having learned the word from Sansa as she fixed his clothes – she told him she had helped Arya with a few.

“Come on,” Catelyn said, pulling on his hand, and avoiding the weird looks from the other people around who didn’t understand how these two non-critics had made it to an early showing of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Arya had gotten them the tickets. Her roommate did some things on the youtube, with reviews and had been offered tickets – he had already taken others, Arya couldn’t take them since she had a test tomorrow, so she sent them to them. Arya would go see it with her boyfriend, Gendry, on the day it premiered – Thursday night. Catelyn had also another viewing booked for then; she was going with Elia, who was the first girl she ever met that love Star Wars as much as her, back in college, before they could imagine themselves working together – they were going with a few more gals from work, a true girls night.

Then another viewing in the weekend, all the kids were coming home, some with friends. Arya still wasn’t sure if she was bringing Gendry (he was a Star Wars virgin before this month that Arya spent showing him everything), Sansa still had to confirm how many people she was bringing, and Bran was definitely was bringing the Reed twins (Catelyn was sure they probably have had watched it before the weekend – Howland did some of the lines with Ned back in the day).

“Aegon Targaryen, the ‘Young Griff’,” the kid in the entrance of the viewing asked, checking his papers and what they signed.

“He’s my daughter’s roommate,” Ned said through greeted teeth – he still didn’t like his daughter living with a guy. Catelyn still thought it was better than living with her boyfriend – she didn’t want Arya into something too early, even if she and Gendry seemed to be in for the long haul, especially if he ended up liking the Star Wars movies.

“Okay. Go in, lady, Luke,” he said, showing them in.

Inside the theatre, they found most people still talking to each other, seeming that everyone knew one or the other, hopefully they would be quiet when the movie started.

Ned and Catelyn took some of the last free seats, too close to the screen to be the best, but they were still watching it earlier. As it didn’t start, they talked about their hopes for the movie – they had been heavily debating about who these new characters were (Sansa kept pleading someone is related to Obi Wan Kenobi, but it may be because she loves Ewan McGregor – he and Princess Leia were her favorite things about Star Wars and what kept her watching), but they weren’t as sure as their oldest daughter.

Catelyn was in the middle of her rant about how she really needed to see Leia using a lightsaber like she did in the books that are no longer canon, the lights went off and the epic musical started. Catelyn squeezed Ned’s hand, and for a few minutes she thought she totally should have dressed as Mara – Ned was definitely her Luke.

(continued) Write all her own stories and do justice to the fic authors that inspire her. In that case, you might feel okay about letting her “jump off” from your fic. Jo and I will both always be grateful you allowed us that both that privilege! But given how much of your stuff she just took before (because we both know it was more than just Rivers and Roads), you have every right to say no to her now if that’s your preference. EVERY RIGHT. It’s your call, Ashley.

I would ignore them. They’ve behaved pretty badly and their message sounds rather entitled

I’m leaning towards ignoring them. Like you said Darla, you would suggest reading very carefully if I agreed, and I have no interest in doing that. If they decide to move forward without my answer, there isn’t much I can do (besides check and see, and report if she lifts any of my actual fic) and like I mentioned before, under normal circumstances I have no problem at all with someone doing a follow-up of my fic (it is actually very flattering and fun!) but this is definitely not normal.  I’m probably making them sound more entitled than they really are because I’m salty about this person. I don’t think a normal review like that would bother me but because I know who this is, I’m like ‘what u say 2 me mofo.’ XD

dknc3 replied to your post “How do you think Sansa fits into the Stark family? Do you think either...”

"I don't think Catelyn has one favorite child. I think her favorite is whichever needs her the most." THIS!!! A thousand times this. Both as a mother and as an unapologetic fan of the fabulous, but far from perfect Catelyn Stark, I feel this so much!

I’m glad that made sense, because it goes against first impressions a little bit. But IMO the big thing about that first impression is that when the story starts, Bran is the one whose life appears to be changing, and so her mindset has this very present, wholehearted focus on him.

Arya Stark

this is legit gonna sound ridiculous: i hate that i can’t think of flaws for her that feel like real flaws.  like the flaws i think of are so dependent on contingencies or are, in different circumstances, virtues that they feel like i’m missing something glaring and obvious.

dknc3 replied to your post “What are you doing in Cali?”

Oh, have fun at RAW! I know WWE is one of your favorite things! I've never been to San Diego, but my cousin who lived there awhile loved it. And I do love LA to visit. I think I"m too much a country girl to ever live there! :-)

I, too, think there is a huge difference in a visit and actually living somewhere...

I certainly hope to see these guys in Raw (not Roman, of course, as he has stepped out for a while)!
