A/N: Thanks for the review! Glad you're liking and it's always interesting to share opinions and to hear what other people enjoy/dislike on the show and how we see different things! Right now I'm so GoT obsessed I could spend all day talking and thinking Thrones. I'm actually considering another GoT fan fic once this is done, kind of starting off with the end of season six and writing my version of 7&8. We'll see. Maybe once the season is over and I'm not always getting new content I might lose interest... it's just it was so danged good until this season started and now I'm just so annoyed with it...but I still kind of love it.

Marvelmyra - thanks for your comments and thoughts! I was talking about the leaked episode (which will air on Sunday for real) when Dany flies off to save Jon in the north. I have no issues with Dany fighting the soldiers bringing back the loot in 7x04. (Even if I do feel her just taking the Red Keep would have been less bloody and quicker but hey! Can't have everything.) Also, yes, Brienne uses sheer force and strength but in a real fight, size often is one of the most important things. Same with her using a longsword and Arya using Needle. That would have put Arya at such a disadvantage. Seriously. I only know a little about medieval fighting but I do know Brienne should have easily won - even if Arya was the best "water dancer" in the world (which I'm not sure she is). And sure maybe Brienne being the best is stretching it but she has fought some pretty good opponents and won - from Loras Tyrell to the Hound. Jamie was the best before he lost his hand so their fight only proves Brienne is very good. But someone did point out to me in the comment that Arya has a lot of natural talent and has been fighting for so long and during her childhood so she's become a lot better/ more lethal because of it.

Xemi - OMG, I re-watched it and the get a wight thing WAS Tyrion's idea. Can't believe I didn't notice that. Still Jon shouldn't have gone along with it or come up with a better plan since he knows the WWs likes to show up in a huge group, told Jorah (who is the first one to offer to go. totally missed that too) it wouldn't work. I mean the whole thing is pretty bonkers, no matter whose the plan was! Thanks for pointing out it wasn't Jon's though!


Tyrion


Sometimes Sansa reminded him so much of Cerci, Tyrion wanted to strangle her. He wasn't sure what it was. Her long hair, her bearing or something burning deep in her blue eyes. He of course knew Sansa wasn't his sister. Not yet anyway, a voice whispered in the back of his mind. But part of him worried. The Sansa next to him was not the Sansa he'd wed all those years ago. This was someone else. Someone darker and wiser. For a short time he'd thought maybe she could have been his true queen. But she'd made it clear the north was her place. Her home.

"I do believe you have something to show me," Tyrion said as they walked. "In the crypts."

For a few seconds surprise flashed in her eyes. Which confirmed what his spies had told him. Told him he needed to see for himself. See the grave that might challenge the grand plan he had for a better Westeros.

"Yes," she said slowly but cooly, a thousand calculations running behind her eyes. Just like his sister. "I do."

She marched on ahead of him. Because of her long legs, because she could. Even pregnant she was so much faster than him. He trotted after her as best he could, following her down the steps to the crypt, wrapping his cloak tighter. It was colder than his visit to the wall had been. He freaking hated the cold. Couldn't understand why anyone would want to live in a place like this. King's Landing might not be warm in winter but at least you could take a piss without worrying about getting frost bite.

"So it is true," he said as he stopped in front of the grave of Jaehaerys Targaryen. Son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark. A possible heir to the seven kingdom. The only one with any kind of claim to the throne these days. One a whole lot better than Tyrion's own.

"Jon should be the one on the Iron Throne," she said, reaching out and touching the lettering of her half-brother - no cousin -name. Her other hand was on her pregnant stomach. Something about it, the longing expression on her face made Tyrion come to a startling realization.

Just like his sister.

Exactly like his fucking sister.

"Jon wouldn't want it," Tyrion said, still reeling from the idea that Jon Snow might have been the one to father Sansa's child. No. Not might. There was no one else he could imagine Sansa letting get close to her. And he'd seen how Jon had looked at her back the days before his and Sansa's wedding.

Oh the sweet irony of some things. Tyrion had planed to create a new world, a different world, one where no heir would succeed him. Now a Targaryen would sit on the throne.

Targaryen and Stark.

Raised by a Lannister - because he immediately knew from the look on Sansa's face- she could not be permitted to raise this child. She would tell would tell it who its true father was. And Tyrion was putting an end to kings and queens, to all kinds of absolute rule. This child, especially if it was to learn it was the true heir, might contest that. That could not be allowed to happen. So Sansa could not have him. Jon's grave would have to be destroyed too.

Sansa turned her cold eyes on him and he wondered if she could read his mind. But when she spoke it wasn't of her child, but of Jon. "I guess we'll find out once he returns."

"He won't be returning," Tyrion said, remembering Jon's defeated air back eight months ago when he'd last seen him. "Told me himself he wasn't coming back."

"I sent a rider to find him this morning." Sansa turned to look down the dark corridor giving him a good view of her stomach in profile. He wondered what she was looking for. What she could see in the dark that he didn't. "He will come," she added, absolute conviction in her voice.

Tyrion shivered as he realized she was right. Jon would come. For her, for the child she carried, he would come.


I know a lot of people love Tyrion and might not like this but...come on. It's GoT. It's all about the shades of grey right?
