⭑ You didn’t come from a known House, well you barely came from a house at all. You grew up with the bare minimum, your father was always moody and working, and your mother doing her best.
⭑ The world seemed bleak until you came across a mysterious woman at the local markets.
⭑ She was weathered; a wrinkled, warn and wise face, that seemed to know exactly what you were thinking.
⭑ She interrupted your shopping (a measly basket full of random twine, candles and coal.
⭑ The woman spoke to you, and you didn’t understand them at first. Didn’t realise that she wasn’t talking in sentences but prophecy.
⭑ And little did you know, witchcraft was in your blood. Although you belonged to no royalty, your blood dated back to the Old Valyria. Magic was apart of you. Just as you were apart of it.
⭑ You frequently visited the old woman, and she taught you her ways. Everyone thought you were mad, your parents were beligerant with you. But somehow you knew, you just knew you had to keep learning.
⭑ Because your life would change the course of Westeros, forever.
⭑ You met Pod while he was traveling with Brienne. They were searching for Sansa, their quest to retrieve her.
⭑ The Bolton’s had terrified your family and murdered your father. Even though he did exactly what Ramsay wished.
⭑ Even though you didn’t particularly like your father, you still loved for him. And your mother was distraught, she became sick quickly. And you spent your days trying to nurse her to health. But health never came.
⭑ Although two people standing on your doorstep did.
⭑ And you helped the tall blonde woman and the smiling man.
⭑ They were kind, well-mannered and didn’t want for much. Just a place to hide for a few days while they scoped the castle.
⭑ Brienne didn’t want to involve any other people, but she had no choice. Ramsay had heard about them and he wanted them dead.
⭑ Within days, your mother also passed and you were left alone. The last of your name. Not that that name mattered.
⭑ After Sansa denied Brienne and Pod, you near-begged them to stay. Even for a bit longer. Just so you weren’t alone.
⭑ They did.
⭑ And during that week, Pod grew close with you.
⭑ Brienne was closed-off. Not wanting to talk much, and when she did, it was with tight lips.
⭑ Pod, on the other hand, was happy to talk. And most days, he did most of the talking. Usually, it was nonsense, just little memories of being a squire for Tyrion.
⭑ But you enjoyed the stories. It made your loss ease, if only for a little bit.
⭑ Pod always helped you with dinner - he and Brienne would hunt, and he would help you prepare.
⭑ He even helped clean up afterward; you told him over and over again that he was a guest. But he said he wanted to help.
⭑ You often spent your time sitting in front of the fire, watching the flames dance. And he would be nearby, sometimes letting you know he was there. Sometimes just seeing if you were okay, then going back to bed
⭑ You told him about your childhood, about your witchcraft and everything you learned.
⭑ He was enthralled. He wanted to know everything about it. What you believed, what you could do, what you had done, what you know. He’s a learner, Pod is.
⭑ When Sansa fled with Theon, you were with Brienne and Pod.
⭑ You weren’t staying at home. No way.
⭑ And home, well ... it wasn’t really a home anyway.
⭑ Pod had also begged Brienne to let you come, because he knew she would say no. She couldn’t risk your safety as well. But you proved her that you were useful. You could heal, mend, protect and defend with your magic.
⭑ Sansa was wary of you.
⭑ Theon was too in his head to have much of an opinion about you.
⭑ On multiple occassions, you saved everyone in the group in some way or another. Maybe by blocking a physical attack by Ramsay’s men. Or by telling Pod not to eat a certain berry because it was poisonous.
⭑ You always have immense knowledge about the land. Herbs, flowers, animals. What could be found where and what not to go near.
⭑ Sansa was soon impressed by you.
⭑ And you saw you as a friend.
⭑ Pod always has butterflies whenever he looks at you. And before you got together, he would fall asleep with you on his mind.
⭑ You were going to make the first move, but Brienne pushed Pod to. She could see the way he looked at you.
⭑ And Brienne grew to deeply care for you.
⭑ Like a found family, you all meshed together so well.
⭑ You followed Pod and Brienne, they had become your people.
⭑ And you felt the same way about Pod, but couldn’t see how he felt about you.
⭑ Sansa was the one to point it out to you.
“Can’t you see the way he looks at you? He’s like a loved-up puppy. I think I hear him whimpering now, actually...”
⭑ Kissing Pod is one of the best feelings you’ve ever felt. He’s so warm, all-consuming ... and talented.
⭑ He knows what he’s doing...
⭑ You did not expect that.
⭑ He loves rubbing his nose on your neck, taking in your smell.
⭑ Speaking of smells, Pod mostly smells like fire/smoke, dirt and sweat. Although he does try to keep as clean as possible.
⭑ He teaches you things that Brienne taught him. Mostly how to defend yourself.
⭑ And you teach him about magic; herbs, plants, animals. How to detect certain things.
⭑ Calls you “honey,” “sweetheart.”
⭑ He’s a big softie, and always takes sympathy on those that are hurt or animals that have been abandoned.
⭑ He always sleeps closest to the door so that if anyone breaks in, you have time to escape.
⭑ And he’s quite intelligent, he’s just sometimes ... clumsy ... and up in the clouds.
⭑ But you ground him, in the best way.
⭑ You stay together, marrying and moving in together. Maybe a nice farm? Or possibly somewhere in Winterfell with Sansa
⭑ She gives you land and you’re the Lord and Lady / Lord and Lord of said land.
⭑ You both fought in the battle of Winterfell against the White Walkers.
⭑ But you didn’t go to King’s Landing when Dany went to overthrow Cersei. You both stayed with Sansa.
⭑ Although now, Bran sits on the Iron Throne, you do travel to King’s Landing and attend ALL the feasts.
⭑ Bran and Pod get on very well; Pod’s loyalty and good heart made Bran name him Hand of the King.
⭑ You’re also a part of the King’s counsel.
⭑ Pod cannot imagine life without you. You’re a light. His light. And he loves you with his whole being.
⭑ How funny that only years ago, you met an old lady in the markets, and now you have your very own House...
