she had slowly, over the years, become a cat, a wolf, a snake, anything but a girl. she had wrung out her girlhood like death.

robb:

his  mother  is  dead,   his  wife  is  dead,   grey  wind  along  with  them,   and  robb  carries  a  vague  recollection  of  having  passed  many  bodies  mid - escape   –   dazed  as  he  had  been,   he  had  still  been  able  to  put  the  pieces  together.    his  army.    his  bannermen.    he  has  become  the  king  who  lost  the  north,   not  that  this  is  what  matters  to  him  now.    talisa,   his  mother,   lost  to  him.   his  sisters,   beyond  his  reach,   perhaps  permanently.    his  brothers,   dead.    he  has  lost  not  just  the  north,   but  everything  he  holds  dear  along  with  it. 

he  hadn’t  made  it  far  from  the  twins,   or  at  least  he  doesn’t  think  so,   before  he  had  collapsed  in  the  bushes,   had  lain  there  for  perhaps  a  day  or  so  now  in  a  daze  of  pain  and  loss.    they’re  thick  enough  that  he  had  not  believed  he  would  be  found,   but   –   there  is  someone  hovering  over  him,   a  voice  speaking  to  him,   a  very  familiar  voice.    robb  is  certain  he  must  be  hallucinating,   then.    arya  ought  to  be  all  the  way  in  kings’  landing,   but  the  voice  is  persistent,   and  he  can’t  find  it  in  himself  to  ignore  even  a  hallucination  of  his  sister,   so  he  forces  blurry  vision  to  focus  on  her,   croaks  out,     “   you  aren’t  real.   ”

she had to go back. despite the hound knocking her soundly over the head and sending her to a dreamless sleep, her body was too aware. unconsciousness didn’t linger long and when she woke, oh - the kicking and screaming! “we have to go back!” she shrieked at sandor over and over until he nearly threw her off his horse. something, a wolfish sense that leapt around her ribcage and rattled at the bones, was telling her to return to the scene of her mother and brother’s slaughter. 

the moment her feet hit the ground they were in motion. it was almost comical: her unsteadiness fought with the overwhelming anger and panic of what she’d seen mere hours earlier until she was running flat out like an injured animal. until she fell. and got up to fall again. the hound had been following her steadily, barking out a laugh every so often. but at last he hoisted her up onto his saddle and rode again for the twins. 

they could barely see the western castle over the hill when arya pounded her small fists into sandor’s back, crying out for him to halt. sliding out of the saddle for what seemed like the hundredth time, she sprinted for a small circle of underbrush which barely hid half a body. what was left of her brother robb wheezed weak breaths, but it was enough. it took all of her might to shake him awake and make him look at her. his response was heartbreaking, good enough to set her to crying, but she was a wolf and wolves didn’t cry. or at least they didn’t sob.

       “robb, oh please, it’s me. it’s arya. wake up!” half his body was covered in crusted blood and there was no telling how many wounds he had. despite her whole frame shaking, half from raw joy and half from panic, arya began to paw at the leathers that had hardened around him. “you’ll be alright. robb, please look at me...” her voice broke a little, frenetic fingers pausing for a moment. “we can take you home, i promise. just stay awake.”

plots i need:

arya making it to the wall to find JON - OR just missing him and deciding to go beyond the wall herself, right into wilding territory.

arya running into absolutely anyone after leaving braavos, taking hold of her warging skills and being wholly arya again and not “characters”.

arya meeting ALAYNE STONE oh GODS.

home life at winterfell with ANY STARKS before the whole game started, back when everyone just kept saying “winter is coming” but it was still summer.

anything with ROBB tbh, ESPECIALLY robb NOT dying and arya finding him and rescuing him and trying to piece him back together.

arya and BRAN talking about warging, probably set during TWOW

arya traveling with the HOUND more, digging up old dirt and sharing anger.

arya and GENDRY ANYTHING (this will become more specific i promise).

modern!arya and GENDRY becoming friends in high school because arya is somehow the only girl everyone is terrified of (but not because she’s a bully like queen bees) and also teases at the same time and gendry is kind of intrigued.

modern arya and SANSA and how they approach house parties .

modern arya just being a genuine terror in school but also quite smart and her teachers are absolutely torn between being sick of her and wanting to take her under their wing and help her get the best grades of her life.

arya and D R A G O N S. her meeting a dragon and realizing that the great skulls she found in KL’s basement storage unit were actually dragon skulls so she’s not nearly as frightened as she “should” be.

arya interacting in any way, shape, or form with DAENERYS - they both come from great houses but are also learning to befriend and stand for the smallfolk.

in that same vein, arya making friends with MISSANDEI who is maybe a year older than her and has seen incredible horrors much like arya .

arya and L A D Y  S T O N E H E A R T.

ARYA AND SANSA TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO LEAD WHAT IS LEFT OF WINTERFELL TOGETHER, since arya has the head for figures and was always better at running a household as a little girl, but sansa has the shrewd head and the leadership skills. 

arya and SANSA discussing playing characters to survive and partially shutting down the arya and sansa part of themselves and mourning those years to an extent.

arya and MELISANDRE just in general.

ARYA AND EDRIC STORM OH WOW I NEED THIS TOO.

arya and any BASTARD from any family at all. she loves them and will always befriend them, as is already established.

arya and CERSEI, just so arya can utterly confound and/or frustrate the queen to death.

arya and JOFFREY. inner rage meets developing outward cruelty and the games that ensue. especially arya trying to prepare joffrey to wed her sister and threatening physical violence to joffrey if he dares lay a hand on her sister.

arya and MYRCELLA just being completely different girls and trying to have lessons and playtimes once or twice.

[eversncenewyork]

send me a ship and one of these and i'll write a mini fic

things you said at 1 am

things you said through your teeth

things you said too quietly

things you said over the phone

things you didn’t say at all

things you said under the stars and in the grass

things you said while we were driving

things you said when you were crying

things you said when i was crying

things you said that made me feel like shit

things you said when you were drunk

things you said when you thought i was asleep

things you said at the kitchen table

things you said after you kissed me

things you said with too many miles between us

things you said with no space between us

things you said that i wish you hadnt

things you said when you were scared

things you said when we were the happiest we ever were

things you said that i wasn’t meant to hear

things you said when we were on top of the world

things you said after it was over

things you said [make your own]

inspired by this
