D'awwwwww. This was wonderful and cute and sexy. Poor Stannis, he probably never saw a woman ENJOYING it! And all those kisses are so sweet. I think they will be very happy, and maybe Stannis finally learns how to smile.

I want a Stannis in my bed...

[linndechir]

Stannis must have been completely confused. He probably expected Sansa to react like Selyse, which was most likely something along the lines of, "you want to touch me WHERE? just get it over with as quickly as possible." And they'll definitely be happy in time. :D

Can't blame you for that. ;) You'd have to marry him, though, otherwise he'd just tell you that sex is frivolous.

[alcanis_ivennil]

I would totally marry him. <3

[linndechir]

Only if you get there before me. ;)

Awww....

OK, first of all, Jon really wants a threesome, doesn't he? I love how interfering he is.

I liked the way this played out -- that Stannis is such a complete basket case, and that Sansa is so traumatized that she's terrified by everything, and yet they sort of work. It's very one-step-forward-two-steps-back but you do give the sense that they are making progress, and will continue to make progress. The sex was actually better than I thought it would be from your author's note: in a way it helps that Sansa has the kind of old-fashioned ideas she does, and that Stannis is clearly trying hard to, uh, do his duty here.

I think your Sansa is very plausible here -- she's so used to being a victim that it's hard for her to trust anyone. I liked that, and the fact that it is still there at the end of the scene, a little, and the language she uses ("lovely" and "magical"! I also liked Stannis' response there!)

[linndechir]

I don't think Jon wants a threesome, he just wants Stannis. ;) Because I'm one of those boring people who can't ship Jon/Sansa. ;)

I'm so relieved the sex scene wasn't a complete fail. It really was a pain to write. But mostly I'm happy that it makes sense for the characters and comes across as realistic. I wanted them to enjoy themselves and actually have a pleasant first time together, but I couldn't just have them kiss once and then decide they totally want to bang each other. ;)

"Lovely" and "magical" are such Sansa words. And words that Stannis would never, ever use. It just amused me. ;)

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. :) I'm glad you enjoyed this.

oohh this is so wonderfully done!! :D

I'm so glad you decided to do a follow-up for the first, and YOUR HET-SMUT IF FLAWLESS, YOU NEED NOT HAVE WORRIED. It was equal parts sexy, apprehensive, slightly awkward, and tender--all of which is, I think, perfect for these two characters.

I love that you let both thier pasts come into play here (Sansa's abuse and Stannis' rather unpleasant first marriage), and the fact that the one thing she would often latch onto for comforst was Jon's insistence that he was just like their father GIVES ME SO MANY FEELINGS <333

Beautifully done!! :D

[linndechir]

Thank you so much. :D So glad you liked it. Especially the smut because I think I drove myself mad writing that.

sexy, apprehensive, slightly awkward, and tender
Yesssss. Exactly what I was going for. :D

I don't want to imagine how terrified Sansa would have been if Jon hadn't been there. (Tbh, it was a bit awkward to write in places. I was just like, "Sansa, will you PLEASE stop thinking of your father and your brother while kissing your husband? please?" ;))

This is really quite lovely, and you do yourself a great injustice by calling it "profoundly unsexy" when it is anything but. I'm pleased to see you take a stab at het smut (although I'm not at all sure this deserves to be called smut). The writing is simple, to the point, and yet graceful and eloquent. You succeed in creating a believable interlude between two very interesting characters. Best of all Sansa comes across as strong and as powerful in her own way as Stannis is in his.

I'm not at all surprised by the exceptional quality of your very first het fic. I always knew you had it in you to write effective het fic, even though you may not like reading it.

[linndechir]

Didn't expect you'd read this. I wasn't aware you're familiar with the fandom?

But I'm glad you did anyway, and glad you liked it. I know, it's not smut in the normal sense, it's more here for the character development than for the porn. I would have just skipped it if it wasn't rather important for the development of their relationship. And Sansa has incredible strength underneath all her polite courtesies, which is one of the main reasons why I can actually see Stannis starting to respect her.

I drove myself mad writing this. I need to write some slash porn to make my brain relax. ;)

[deborahkla]

I'm becoming familiar with it, since my son and I recently started watching episodes from the first season. But a well-written story is a well-written story. It doesn't demand familiarity with the characters to be enjoyed. For this one it was enough to know the period, and the characters were well-executed.

You should scramble your brains a bit more by reading my Hans Hotter-tops-Heydrich fic. It may or may not get you into the mood for writing slash, depending upon whether or not you can handle Heydrich being topped. All it took for me was remembering the teased and taunted schoolboy and marineoffizier that Heydrich once was. Nevertheless, Nariel said she couldn't handle it during exams when I told her about it. But I read it aloud in a London pub via Skype on 31-1-12, where it was very well-received. ;-)

Wait I'll come back with a proper comment when I'll stop smiling like an idiot XD.

[linndechir]

:D Can't wait.

I want to say that this "lovely" and "magica" just because I'm a troll but omg it would be completely true! I love so so much Stannis here. And Sansa was awesome: brave and great and still very much the little girl from Winterfell still. And lol @ Jon's "wish it was me". Sorry Jon, you jut need to bask in the constant delight of being in Stannis's, Sansa's and Davo's presence. I know it's hard :p.

You need to write more het! It was very very very good and the situations were on point.

And yeah, now I can add Stannis to potential man I would totally be ok to end up with Sansa <3.

[linndechir]

Thank you. :D Jon has such a crush on Stannis, it's hilarious. I think I'm incapable of hiding how much I ship Stannis/Jon. I'm glad you liked my Sansa. First time I wrote her.

I drove myself mad writing this. Slash is so much easier to write. But I'll probably write more Stannis/Sansa, just not necessarily porn. ;)

I've reached the point where Stannis is the only man I'd be okay to end up with Sansa. I'm ridiculously OTPish about this, on her side. But I'm glad I could convert you a little. :D
