AO3 1) Comfort
Sansa cannot remember the last time someone tried to comfort her without an ulterior motive and lets herself collapse in Daenerys’s arms, just for a moment.
2) Kiss
“Gods, I love you,” Daenerys whispers, and only Sansa grins against her skin, moves her lips down Daenerys’ neck.
3) Soft
Daenerys had thought anything she could call soft had died on the Dothraki sea, but Sansa proves her wrong.
4) Pain
Sansa still has scars from beating from Joffery and worse, Daenerys still has scars from things she won’t let herself remember - they mirror one another, in some ways.
5) Potatoes
Sansa eats less and less as The Long Night seems unending, and Daenerys saves more than half her potatoes for her so she doesn’t pass out from exhaustion alone.
6) Rain
It starts raining as Sansa presses Daenerys against a tree in the godswood, but neither care.
7) Chocolate
Daenerys hasn’t had chocolate since the house in Braavos, and Sansa makes her mission to order it as soon as she can, along with the lemon cakes.
8) Happiness
“I never imagined I’d be happy,” Sansa confesses and Daenerys is almost grateful for everything that has happened to her, if only because it brought them together.

They exchange ravens, updating one another about battles both won and lost, and Sansa’s just grateful Daenerys is still alive.

The cold turns Sansa’s ears red, it’s one of the first things Daenerys notices about her.

“You have a lot of names,” Sansa remarks and pulls out a ring from her pocket in her gown, “Would you like one more?”

Sansa moves her mouth between Daenerys’ thighs and Drogo was never this good, or gentle.

“I lost my dragon, you lost your direwolf - perhaps we could help each-other heal.”
14) Sex
Sansa didn’t imagine she’d ever enjoy sex until she met Daenerys.

The first time Daenerys ever touches her is the first time they meet, shaking her hand without gloves, and she can only think that Daenerys’ beauty is the only thing Lord Baelish was ever correct about.
16) Weakness
“Love is not weakness,” Sansa reminds her, “You will always be my strength.”
17) Tears
“No one will ever marry me for love,” Sansa explains sincerely and Daenerys’ almost wants to cry.

“I hope I will love you until the day I die,” Sansa whispers as Daenerys falls asleep beside her.
22) Jealousy
“I’m so happy you’ve found love,” Sansa tells Jon; but lying comes far too easy to her now.
23) Hands
They can hardly keep their hands off each other, as though both of them are terrified if they let go for even a second this will all have been a lovely dream.

There’s blood on her face, after the last battle - and a myriad of other injuries that could have, should have, killed her - but she lets Sansa press a warm cloth to her face and wonders if will finally find peace.
28) Sickness
“I’ll be alright,” Daenerys tries to assure her as Sansa worriedly brings her a bowl of chicken soup that rather resembles dirty river water, “Fire cannot kill a dragon and neither can the common cold.”

The words of the songs Sansa had loved so much still came easy to her, and Daenerys so loved to hear her sing.
