For the kink meme, prompted by blackcigars - prompt: Ned/Cat, a difficult pregnancy and birth puts Catelyn in a depression that Ned works to pull her from.

OMGGGGG. FOR REALS, I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW. This was absolutely beautiful and touching and heartbreaking, and Catelyn fears and worries are something very close to my own heart.

I'm utterly speechless because this was amazing and you have done Cat such a justice that she deserves. AND, I love that your Ned is so loving, so warm, with her. That is really how I think Ned was, because he loved her so much, and I feel like I need to know that SHE KNEW JUST HOW MUCH HE LOVED HER. It hurts my heart to think otherwise.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVELYYYYY I DID NOT MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY I JUST NEEDED CAT TO NOT HAVE TO BE ALOOOOOOONE.

You are well aware of my feels since I spasm about them all the time but I really hate fanon interpretations that because Ned is gushing about his feelings that he didn't love Catelyn (which honestly seem to come for the most part from people who hate Catelyn anyway). When I reread the first book I noticed that almost anytime that they touch, he's the one who's initiating the contact. I think he's definitely just more of a 'show, don't tell' kind of guy, and he's pretty physically affectionate when they're together. And at least just from her thoughts at the Red Wedding (GROSS SOBBINGGGGG), I think she knew that she was loved.

Thank you for your comments!!!! <333

LOL CRYING IS GOOD. SO GOOD.

I agree, its mostly Cat hate propaganda or Ned/Ashara stans. He totally is a show don't tell guy! He's not good with words, he's a soldier! But GODS DOES HE LOVE TO SHOW HER HOW MUCH HE LOVES HER. MOSTLY WITH HIS MOUTH. LOL. SORRY IT IS KNOWN.

He is the opposite of good with words! Just look at him trying to verbally spar with Petyr! He comes out with lame ass comebacks like "I WOULDN'T WANT YOU IN ANY PARTY" and just shoves a dagger under his little chin beard instead and tells him Brandon should have killed him dead. XD But seriously, when he's in the dungeon he's like I WANNA GO HOME AND SPOON. ZOMG HE JUST WANTS CUDDLE TIME.

LOOOOOLZ IT IS KNOWN. IT IS KNOWN. IT IS WHY THE STARK BOYS ARE POPULAR. I loooooove the prompt that was left about awkward-father-or-father-figure-and-son-convo about pleasin' the ladies. XD Mostly because I feel like Theon would refuse to believe that oral-sex-on-the-ladies is a THING. And because it would be the most awkward thing to ever be awkward because again Ned=NOT THE WORDS TYPE OF GUY. I hope it gets filled - humor and heavy dialogue-based fics are not my strength or I would do it mahself!

And WHOOPS, clearly that's supposed to be 'because Ned ISN'T gushing about his feelings' XD
