What a lovely moment between them. It adds so much to Catelyn's character to see her at a younger, less secure stage of life--and to know what she grew into.

Thank you! I'm so interested in this point of Catelyn's life- she's a total fish out of water in Winterfell. And THANK YOU for creating this community- I'm having such a great time reading everyone's work, and these prompts are a great way to warm up for the writing I do throughout the day. You rock. :)

Fish out of water's an apt term for Catelyn at this stage!

And thanks for your lovely words about the comm--that's just what I'd hoped it would be for our members!

Great story, Catelyn isn't one of my favorite characters, but in this, I found something I like about her.

Thanks.

I'm not generally the biggest Catelyn fan either. ;) But thinking of her as a young girl in a strange place, lonely and scared...that makes her a bit easier for me to sympathize with. Thank you for reading!

No thank you for writing it.
