I hate doing this, because I feel like it breaks up the continuity of the story, but I've had a few questions via reviews that I would like to answer to clear the story up for some people.

First though, thank you to EVERYONE who has read, reviewed, followed and favorited my story. I appreciate it more than you know, both the compliments and the constructive criticism. Now, on to the explanations!

A reviewer expressed confusion over why Bran was crippled since the whole event with Jamie Lannister never happened. I just always picture Bran as being crippled and I don't think I could write him if he wasn't. It will eventually be explained what happened.

I am writing Robb the way I am for a reason, I promise! Robb is one of my favorite characters and I think he's a very honest and loyal character. I also think that he was a bit pampered living in Winterfell his whole life, he didn't have much experience with the little skirmishes that happen between different houses because he was isolated so far up North. All the Starks in fact, had a fairly idealistic childhood. Now that Robb is being forced to be the Lord of Winterfell, before he is ready, I feel that he is somewhat lost in the role and trying to redeem honor for his mother and father. Because he is not experienced in being a Lord, I feel that he naively believes that he can take back Winterfell and restore his family honor. He no longer has his parents for guidance so I think he is acting in a way he thinks a Lord should, which includes arranging marriages for his sisters and protecting his land above all else.
I do think that Robb genuinely loves his siblings and loves Winterfell so he feels torn over what to do. Everything he does do is with the best intentions and trust me he does love Sansa and Arya. Basically, despite being a grown man he has the mentality of a boy playing Lord. I got this feeling from the book as well, though he tried hard, he often made foolish decisions (i.e. breaking a promise to the Frey's). Robb has the ability to be a great warrior and leader, but he needs to grow up a bit first.

As for Sansa, I had to change her quite a bit because her life took a different path in my story. In the books she was forced into turmoil at a young age and didn't necessarily mature enough to truly understand the ways of the world. In my story she is nineteen and has grown quite a bit, she has learned from her mother how to be a woman and what a woman's place is in the world. She has grown out of the stage where she believes in love stories and charming princes. She is the same Sansa from the book, just a more mature Sansa.

I've had a lot of people express distaste at the idea of Arya and Jon, or Jon and Dany, etc. I can't help if you don't like all the pairings in this story, I have yet to decided the final pairings, but I have a general idea of where things are going and I can't change that based on what some readers/reviewers like and dislike. I hope you stick with the story still, but if you don't I completely understand!

With that said, I am working on the next chapter right now and it should be up either later tonight or tomorrow at some point.

Thank you again! I am so so so happy that all of you are enjoying the story!
