"M-maester Aemon," stammered the stranger in a cracking voice that either confirmed Jorah's guess about his age, or marked him a coward. Or both.

Aww, Sam. Poor Sam. Yes, in your fic, this would be before he gained even more confidence than he’d have at this point.

Samwell looked up at her, pointing at Jorah. "He is your husband, Princess Daenerys? Lord Commander Mormont's exiled son? Ser Jorah?"

His reaction humoured me. It seems like everyone but Dany had been aware of Jorah’s past, making his ‘redemption’ in her eyes even more powerful.

Quite to Jorah's surprise, young Samwell did not cringe back from him, a stammering craven; instead his soft features hardened with a man's resolve

Yup, progress even now. :)

"Wights!" cried Dany, and Jorah knew she would think of nothing now but what she had seen in the House of the Undying.

To be fair, there were few other things she thought of anyway.

"No," said Samwell. His pink tongue darted out to moisten lips chapped from the salt of the sea and the air, as his eyes flicked

Thank you so very much, m'dear! You've read this fic from the very beginning and not missed a chapter, and I'm just so very pleased you liked how I wrapped everything up. :)

Wow. Can't believe that will be my last umlaut-flailing about AYFN. This is a momentous occasion. *brings out the champagne*

But this epilogue truely deserves all the flailing, umlaut or otherwise, and so much more!!! I'm so glad that I decided to remain spoiler-free for this one, becuase it gave me the opportunity to end your story the way I began it. Not knowing what to expect and completely falling in love with it.

That ending.... I don't even know how to describe its perfectness!!! Sam finding them, and the idea of using the dragons to fight the White Walkers!!! This is sheer brilliance, and I feel really stupid for never even having thought of such a solution. It's just so simple and elegant to have the dragons end up guarding the wall. And it frees up Dany and Jorah to end up where I always wanted them to: on Bear Island!!!
Thank you for this perfect ending to an epic story, my dear.

Aw, I have so loved getting umlaut-flailing for this fic, ever since you first commented. Kind of sad it, like the fic, will come to an end, but luckily I'm not done writing by a longshot. ;)

I'm so pleased you were surprised and happy with the ending; I had hoped it wouldn't be totally predictable, yet I didn't want it to be out of the blue, either, so I'm really happy you kind of had a "duh!" moment over it. Thank you so very much for your lovely words, my dear. *bearhugs*

Welcome to the fandom. :) And wow, that's a lot of reading in three days! I take it as a huge compliment that you read it all in one go like that. And thank you so much for your lovely comments. I'm so, so very happy that you feel I've drawn the characters believably here. I love them!

This is really what I want for Dany, purpose that doesn't involve needlessly slaughtering people, the love of a good man, and some strong ass women to talk to! The Mormonts can provide at least 2/3 of that equation. :D

It's a lovely and understated epilogue for a work you should be incredibly proud of.

[mrstater]

House Mormont really is the solution to most of Dany's problems, isn't it? I can only hope GRRM agrees...

Thank you again, my dear. And I am so proud. *hugs*

[just_a_dram]

Don't create people as awesome as the Mormonts and then not have them be endgame, GRRM!

[mrstater]

HERE WE STAND...at the end.

OMG. This is epic. The one problem with reading this all in one go is that I wasn't able to leave specific feedback for each chapter, because I have LOTS of feels about each one. So I am relying on my rusty memory to pick out the highlights of what really resonated with me

[mrstater]

Oh my goodness, just...this review. a;lkad;lakjdladfadfl;kj I don't even know if I can reply coherently. Just, all of this, coming from you especially, means a lot
