Ouch, that ending is such a punch to the gut after getting to know this Oberyn and Ellaria. I especially love Ellaria's pragmatism--she knows Oberyn will never marry her, but she also knows that he would deliberately endanger his own children, illegitimate or otherwise. You've given this character such a lovely, perceptive voice. Wonderful job.

Thanks for commenting. I couldn't bear to write the fic to the real end (Oberyn's end).

This is great. I too love Ellaria's pragmatism, and how you tie the story into the events at Harrenhal.

Thanks for commenting. The recipient asked for an Oberyn/Ellaria fic as well as an untold Harrenhal story so I decided to combine the two requests!

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to read this earlier. I've been busy with work and family holiday events. Thank you for this story. I particularly liked Ellaria liking the idea of a romance with a prince as part of the overall romance of the grand tourney. I also liked Oberyn using the scandal of having a bastard lover as a shield against marriage-seekers. Thank you again, and I hope your holidays are very merry.
