SNOWSTORM SUMMER 2022 ↳ A Game of Thrones and A Dance With Dragons Parallel

"Please, please, Viserys, I don't want to, I want to go home." - Daenerys I, A Game of Thrones 

Bring her home, Mance. I saved your son from Melisandre, and now I am about to save four thousand of your free folk. You owe me this one little girl. - Jon XI, A Dance With Dragons

"I'd let his whole khalasar f-ck you if need be, sweet sister, all forty thousand men, and their horses too if that was what it took to get my army. - Daenerys I, A Game of Thrones 

Would she still have that little sword he'd had Mikken forge for her? Stick them with the pointy end, he'd told her. Wisdom for her wedding night if half of what he heard of Ramsay Snow was true. - Jon XI, A Dance With Dragons

“Maybe she didn’t,” Jory said. “I’ve heard tales... maybe the bitch was already dead when the pups came.”

“Born with the dead,” another man put in. “Worse luck.”

SNOWSTORM SUMMER ➝ THE MOON AND THE WOLF

The white wolf raced through a black wood, beneath a pale cliff as tall as the sky. The moon ran with him, slipping through a tangle of bare branches overhead, across the starry sky.

↳ house stark: the pact of ice and fire

“This we do know: Cregan Stark and Jacaerys Velaryon reached an accord, and signed and sealed the agreement that Grand Maester Munkun calls “the Pact of Ice and Fire” in his True Telling. Like many such pacts, it was to be sealed with a marriage.”

DANY

And for the first time in hours, she forgot to be afraid. Or perhaps it was for the first time ever.

***

Dany found herself moving faster than she had intended, yet somehow it was exciting rather than terrifying. The horse broke into a trot, and she smiled.

***

A daring she had never known filled Daenerys then, and she gave the filly her head.

***

The silver horse leapt the flames as if she had wings.

***

The descent was steep and rocky, but Dany rode fearlessly, and the joy and the danger of it were a song in her heart. All her life Viserys had told her she was a princess, but not until she rode her silver had Daenerys Targaryen ever felt like one.

***

The horse seemed to know her moods, as if they shared a single mind. With every passing day, Dany felt surer in her seat. The Dothraki were a hard and unsentimental people, and it was not their custom to name their animals, so Dany thought of her only as the silver. She had never loved anything so much.

JON

“He died well. Race you to the bridge?”

“Done,” Jon said, kicking his horse forward. Robb cursed and followed, and they galloped off down the trail, Robb laughing and hooting, Jon silent and intent. The hooves of their horses kicked up showers of snow as they went.

***

Hullen says I sit a horse as well as anyone in the castle.

***

He had no destination in mind. He wanted only to ride.

***

The mare whickered softly as Jon Snow tightened the cinch. “Easy, sweet lady,” he said in a soft voice, quieting her with a touch.

Ghost sat on his haunches watching, silent as ever. Will he howl for me when I’m dead, as Bran’s wolf howled when he fell? Jon wondered.

A Clash of Kings, Jon VIII

Off in the distance, a wolf howled. The sound made her feel sad and lonely, but no less hungry.

A Dance with Dragons, Daenerys X

"I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children," the recruits promised, in voices that echoed back through years and centuries. "I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post.” Gods of the wood, grant me the strength to do the same, Jon Snow prayed silently. Give me the wisdom to know what must be done and the courage to do it. - Jon VII, A Dance with Dragons

"We were all unblooded once, Your Grace. The Unsullied will help stiffen them. If I had five hundred knights …" "Or five. And if I give you the Unsullied, I will have no one but the Brazen Beasts to hold Meereen." When Ser Barristan did not dispute her, Dany closed her eyes. Gods, she prayed, you took Khal Drogo, who was my sun-and-stars. You took our valiant son before he drew a breath. You have had your blood of me. Help me now, I pray you. Give me the wisdom to see the path ahead and the strength to do what I must to keep my children safe. - Daenerys V, A Dance with Dragons

She glimpsed the shadow of a great wolf, and another like a man wreathed in flames.

Daenerys VIII, AGOT

...mother of dragons, bride of fire.
