I love the way you write dialogue for this fandom! You nail the subtle politics and power plays between the characters. <3

Thank you so much :D I really appreciate it, because dialogue is always a bit hard for me, so that means a lot :)

There are a lot of lines in this that I love, but this one is especially good: “I would never do that,” Sansa whispers, her smile faltering, and since Asha knows what the Boltons are capable of (since she saw what they had done to her brother), she believes Sansa.

I love the shift in perspective there, from captor to rescuer, and the subtle moments of empathy throughout the whole drabble even though Asha didn't start out caring about Sansa in the slightest.

Also, this is completely irrelevant to everything, but you have great taste in music.

Thank you very much! The prompt screamed at me to fill it right away, and it was so easy ^^ When I was done I had to juggle with the words a little, but it worked out.
I'm very happy you liked it, because it was the first time I wrote Asha and I was a little afraid of the outcome, but yay :3

Epica is my new fav band, Simone is so amazing :3 Before it was Nightwish, but meh ... they changed a lot of their style over time, and the latest album was okay, but I expected more ...

Ah, I've been meaning to comment on this since forever. I initially read this on my phone a while back when I wasn't logged in.

I love this scenario to bits because it's so plausible, like it could actually have happened on the show, Asha stealing Sansa from Ramsey. Other than that I totally agree with silvr_dagger, who sums up the appeal of this ficlet better than I ever could :D

Don't worry, I know this scenario too well xD And I really like 'late' responses for you never expect them and then enjoy it even more ^^

And I'm very happy you liked it and agree with silvr_dagger :D Thanks for commenting!
