@worthyheir said : wiping away your lover’s tears as you kiss them.
she had not mean to disturb him. a fact that mattered little now, but one that she would cling to later – indefinitely. far be it from sansa to disrupt anyone choosing the sanctity of winterfell's godswood to hear their tears – had she not so often done the same? it was quiet, a calm place that enveloped and listened; offered a gentle lull of wooded branches and dribbling pond water . . . and was one of the few places one could find a moment of peace alone. she had intended to allow him his, her hand gripped tighter around the leash that held lady to her side, before the leather slipped from her gloved hand and lithe direwolf paws were bounding across the godswood.
sansa had done her best at rushing after her, but it'd been too little too late; lady nuzzled into the prince's side, there'd been little choice but to look at him. for stark grey eyes to flash across his sadness and threaten to well with tears of her own. in her head she can hear her brothers chiding her, can almost hear her father's low laugh at how easy it is to make his daughter cry; the poor, little thing. but they aren't here, they were rotting away in the wolf's den, and cregan had never said an ill word about her sensitivities.
all thoughts of grabbing lady's lead are forgotten as she sinks into the snow before him, no concern for the cold nor her dress, nimble fingers slipped from the fine leather gloves – winter chill nips at porcelain digits as sansa pulls him to her. “you don't need to face this alone.” she murmurs softly, curling arms around his shoulders, holding him as tightly as she can manage. “you aren't alone.” a beat, a gentle inhale and exhale before she shifts away just enough to curl a hand onto his cheek, brushing tears away with her thumb as she presses a kiss to his forehead. as if on cue, lady nudges up from his side, lapping away large tongue at his cheek – before sansa quietly brushes her away once more and offers jace a gentle smile.
“it would appear i have competition from my own companion for you.” a lightly cracked joke as she shifts ever closer, drying his cheeks with soft palms. “what do you need?”
tired of walking on eggshells pretending like i don’t care about shipping when i do actually. sue me but i crave romance and i think it’s fun to write. i WANT to ship my characters. i don’t care if our first interaction is setting the foundation for a plotted ship. the best part is this still doesn’t mean shipping is my main focus but god the purist culture the rp community has developed around shipping and painting it as some moderately taboo thing that you should only ever indulge at a strict minimum is so exhausting. ship with me.
a plotted starter for @sunfyred
for the longest time, sansa had thought this day would never come. her position in the north had changed the day her father was imprisoned, her freedom no longer a matter that rested in his hands, but rather in the hands of her cousin, cregan. bennard stark's plotting had not ceased at just holding onto the lordship of house stark, but rather had extended far greater than his nephew could have ever imagined – a matter that had been kept quiet and secret still. long had he sought power and glory, long were the lengths he was willing to go to achieve it, even if it had meant sending his only daughter from winterfell's halls. she'd been raised as was befitting a highborn lady, prim – proper, exceptionally well - behaved when her brothers were not teasing her or drawing her ire, made into the perfect offering of a wife to viserys targaryen's firstborn son.
it'd taken an extended effort to free her from winterfell, a jointed effort between sansa's own lady mother and the hightowers, a planned trip to visit her mother's family in karhold, wherein sansa and lady margaret had boarded a ship and sailed from the shivering sea to blackwater bay. it'd not been an easy journey, so many days on board a ship that she swore her stomach had turned as often as the tides, but she had survived it. had survived the uncertain eyes at the port – and had been far more thankful than she had ever been when her feet had touched sturdy, dry land.
but if she were meant to feel less nerves, her stomach had not received the memo; freshly bathed and fed, dressed in a soft grey gown of lace and velvet, sansa had been directed into the throne room, directed forward to stand underneath the watchful gaze of far too many eyes. she hadn't known much of her husband - to - be; rumors from the south did not oft travel well north, and save for what her father had allowed her to know of aegon – that he was a handsome, targaryen king, named after the conqueror himself – she'd come into the room as uncertain and unsure as one could have possibly been.
good manners dictate that she sink into a bow, a graceful curtsy with steel grey hues downturned to the floor; she counts seconds in her head, soft, delicate numbers, until she finally exhales a breath and stands tall once more, allowing her eyes to flicker up from the floor to land on the man who sits the throne before her. her heart skips a subtle beat, a gentle flush of pink settling across the apples of her porcelain cheeks – the letters hadn't been wrong about aegon being handsome. his eyes a shade of purple that sansa longed to get lost in, the expression on his features one she cannot precisely read, but one she finds herself all the more intrigued by.
a smile curls onto her lips, warm and sweet, as her hands smooth out the skirt of her gown. “ it is a pleasure to meet you, your grace. although i fear my father's words may have . . . downplayed certain aspects of the capital. ”
