“  I will not ask you where you came from -- I will not ask and neither should you. “ 

[direreign]

silence follows the words for a long moment,  sansa unable to do anything but stare at the woman that stands beside her.   her gaze goes forward,  then.   a smile curling up the corners of her mouth.   sansa can’t hide it if she tries,  and so she doesn’t even attempt to.   she nods,  once.   slowly.   carefully.   she is tired,  to her very core,  of everything that she has been taught.   told.   reminded,  again and again,  as a child.   she wants them to stop.   she wants to make them listen,  most of all.   to learn from the mistakes that those before them have made.   she can only hope that they listen,  all the while knowing that they won’t.   she doesn’t say that,  though.   there is a chance,  a real possibility,  that they can do something.   together.   they’re stronger if they’re together.     “let’s write our own,”     she murmurs in agreement,  eyes shining.   fingers brush against the other woman’s before she can even think of what she’s doing.   it feels right,  though,  doesn’t it?     “together.” 

mostly angsty drabbles @dorzalta​    accepting.

“ when i was a child , i used to believe anyone. ”

𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐔𝐋than the loss of innocence  ;  a red door perhaps forever  closed ,   a rose with no  petals ,  its dried pollen returning tothe sun  .  She tries to imagine the trajectory of  betrayals that guide a 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍to her power  ,  aladder of broken promises   ,  sharp shards threatening to cut , rip , draw blood  .   Howmany missteps have you taken  ,  𝐃𝐀𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐀𝐑𝐘𝐄𝐍  ?  One  , two   ,  toomany  ?  

Sympathy doesn’t leave the brown of her eyes as she speaks  , voice melting back into softness  ,  intosomething close to home  .   ‘   How sad  it is to grow up  ,  yourGrace  , if only we could have stayed children forever  ;  the world our playground  , believing people and tales of their adventures  .  ’  Words dance off the tip of her tongue with theexcitement of a child  ,  full of exuberance and  vigour.   A chessboard for a playground   ; a  pawn for toys  ;  betrayalinstead of gambits  and  calculations instead of games – that wastheir world now  ,  but they could play instead of scheme ,  together ,  so – will you take agamble  , 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐒  ,  andtrust the flower instead of its thorns ?            /     * @dorzalta

@dorzalta |  excerpts from circe  /  accepting .

THE MAID IS too ---in her own way . always pushing forward , striding despite the odds . a seemingly impossible quest thrust upon her . more than once, she had faltered and had thought it’d be best to abandon it , take a ship back to tarth and forget about the whole thing but she moved forward all the same . and now here she is , surrounded by the gray , snow speckled walls of winterfell with a family she helped reunite and a fulfilled oath . 

she glances over the dragon queen , wondering if her own path led her to where she wanted it to be . was the journey worth it ? she had wanted to ask , but she chooses to hold her tongue . too personal , mayhaps . she was in no position to ask a queen such things . 

               “ and we are glad that you have come here, and you have chosen to aid us. “ brienne replies , her tone was all polite and stiff . “ with your dragons and your army , i’m sure we can take on whatever may come our way . “
