A/N: So I don't quite know where my inspiration for this theme came from, but hey when the muse strikes, she strikes. Enjoy. And let me know your thoughts :)


Davos

The first person of those left to depart the world was unsurprisingly Ser Davos. He'd lived for another twenty-five years after Bran had been crowned. Serving on the small council for a further ten years before he had retired to Storms End with his wife, where he thoroughly enjoyed doting on his five surrogate grandchildren. Eddard, Sandor, Beric, Lyanna and Shireen Baratheon. It had been to all but a few peoples surprise when two years after her departure to explore the world Arya had returned to Westeros, and instead of taking up resident in the North or Kings Landing had gone straight to Storms End. The wedding of Arya Stark and Gendry Baratheon had followed less than six months later, and nine months after that Eddard was born, followed over the course of the next seven years by his four siblings.
And Davos was there for each one, and always one of the first people to hold and meet the new arrivals. While he adored all five, he'd genuinely shed a tear when Gendry and Arya had told him they wanted to name their youngest after the little girl he'd seen almost as a daughter.
He was 73 years old when his body eventually failed him, and he died in his sleep, peaceful and content with how his life had turned out.
When he opened his eyes he was greeted by the smiling face of Shireen, looking the same as she had the day he'd seen her last all those years ago.
"Took you long enough" she smiles and hugged him, "I'm very glad you learnt to read, and write, and you even helped other people learn too" she says proudly.
Davos smiles, "couldn't have done it without you" he replies hugging her back.
He looked behind Shireen and saw his son Mattias and Stannis both waiting for him.
Mattias hugged him, "I knew the Lord had a plan for you father, you did a lot of good" he smiles.
"I'm sorry you weren't there with me" says Davos.
"That wasn't my destiny" replies Mattias.
Stannis held his hand out to him, "you were right Ser Davos, and I was wrong. I should've listened to you" he says, "and thank you for ensuring the Baratheon line continued where I had failed" he adds.
Davos nods and shakes his hand, "he's a good lad, he's been a good lord and he will continue to do so. And his children after him" assures Davos.
"Thanks to you" smiles Stannis.
Davos smiles and lets himself be at peace, he knew he'd see everyone again one day, he only had to wait.
