I loved the snippet of this you had, and I love the expanded version even more. Also, Ashe/Drace wins. Also I love the imagery of heat and cold in here and I especially love their clothes in the first sex scene, and how they're wrapped not just in clothes but in expectations and politics and the weight of the mail and the gown equating to the baggage of years' worth of negotiations.

I also like the sandrat/darkhair insults, because it reminds me of that one battle in FF Tactics (which caused me to quit the game entirely the first two times...) And, maybe it's just the word southron, but this makes me think of what would happen when Martell weds Lannister.

So much awesome.

Heee, precisely~

And yes, years worth of negotiations, wrapped around these two--one who wants everything for the world and another who only wants freedom and both of them bound up in everything else. Colonial rhet, yup yup.

The re-release of Tactics is on Tuesday! That sound you hear is me squealing in anticipatory glee XD

Ashe reminds me a bit of Arya Stark, since I was on the subject of Ice & Fire.

If GRRM was cool with fic I would totally write the AU where Arya, not Sansa, wound up betrothed to Joffrey.
