Summary: The Little Lord's been dreaming again.
Notes: Bran Stark is far from my favorite character in ASOIAF, but his crow dream was probably my favorite chapter in the entire first book. I knew it would never be able to appear in the show, not the way that GRRM executed it in the novel, but part of me always believed that the Game of Thrones title sequence is a nod to it (even though no one has officially confirmed the homage. (They just call it "a map" - BUT IT'S A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE WORLD AND WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING! HELLLO!) As the books progress, Bran's ~dreaming evolves. He goes from crow, to wolf, and finally in A Dance With Dragons into the heart tree. He is a greenseer and a skinchanger and what he possesses is the ability to live a second life. This was made for Cherry and Rho's instrumentals panel which I'm very thankful for because otherwise I would have never gotten around to vidding it.
The text is all legit GRRM, taken from Bran III (A Game of Thrones) and Bran III (A Dance with Dragons).

SECOND, LIFE
You will never walk again,
But you will fly.
But Bran didn't know how to fly
So all he could do was fall.
It's just a dream.
Is it?
Fly.
I was going to be a knight.
I used to run and climb and fight.
What am I now?
A thousand eyes...
A hundred skins...
Wisdom deep as the roots of ancient trees...
A greenseer.
The trees will teach you,
The trees remember.
If I cry, will the tree begin to weep?
Not cry,
Fly.
(Bran spread his arms and flew.)
