Everything came back to him, then: the house, the fire, his own screams. Daenerys was dead.

Jorah pressed his face into the dirt and wished he was, too.

Awww.
I’d say he’s daft for still thinking she was dead, but the absolute shock must have made him misbelieve.

Fire made flesh.

That gave me chills, but in a good way.

"I'd say it's a dragon," came Tyrrion Lannister's drawl behind him, "but then again I might also be distracted by the breasts, Ser Bear."

ROFL oh that is SO Tyrion!
(Also, typo with his name)

Irri, however, gave her head a defiant little shake. "Bad luck for man to be near laboring women. It is known."

"It is known," Jhiqui and Doreah intoned, though their laughter rather undermined their agreement with Dothraki custom.

Yeah, once they laugh while repeating that phrase, it kind of negates the severity of whatever is known.

the girls regarded her not with accusation, but curiosity, as ever they always had done

:) I like them, overall.

"I am no khaleesi any longer," she said, but Irri protested, pushing

Thanks for reading and commenting--as always! I'm so happy you liked the handmaid's--they're so cute and fun to write. It is known. ;)

There is something, despite the dragon!, so normal and domestic about these scenes. You imbue the fantasy world with very real feelings. A lover scorned, an act of betrayal, coming back together after an act that can only be described as an act of madness...all with little Rhaego and her other child looking on. The way they're beginning to feel things out between each other, the sense of truce that is reached by the end, is hopeful, but still very wary. It's the perfect mood.

My favorite kind of fantasy or sci fi or any genre fic, really, is the kind that uses the world as an accent piece to the real picture of the people involved, so I couldn't ask for a nicer compliment than that this feels like that to you! I also think that's the kind of life Dany and Jorah both want to have--more than all these endless crazy adventures they keep having!

Thanks so much, darling. :)
