Day 17: Jealousy - Edric and Bella
"Lords and ladies" [...] "Why don't you go back to Stoney Sept and ring that girl's stupid bells?"
A bit of appreciation for this two poor characters unfortunately wedged between Arya and Gendry.

I know Ned was stressed as hell seeing his daughter, who resembles Lyanna physically and in attitude, become friends with Robert’s bastard son and Edric Dayne aka mister pale blonde hair and purple eyes. Like that man was about to die again from a heart attack, hands shaking as he pulled at his hair, thinking to himself “no, gods, no. Not this again. No one give my girl a flower please”

do you guys think grrm was twirling his hair and grinning to himself when he decided to write gendry meeting the bane of his existence: lord edric dayne of starfall?
i'm rereading arya's asos chapters and it's so funny how arya and gendry meeting a 12 year old blond boy with dark blue eyes that almost appear purple makes gendry jealous in the spot, like a switch that went off, even before realizing said boy is nobility and the lord of starfall.

After Arya Stark returns to Winterfell, she is prepared to fight like hell to save her family from the Army of the Dead. And then Jon comes back, and he marries her off to her childhood acquaintance Ned Dayne for Dorne's army. But Starfall holds secrets within its walls; contempt for the new Lady, untrustworthy servants, and a young blacksmith from times past. As Dorne delays in sending their army and the White Walkers creep ever closer to the Wall, Arya will have to rely on old friends and her new skills in order to save her pack.

Behind them, Gendry groaned. "Lords and ladies," he proclaimed in a disgusted tone. Arya plucked a withered crabapple off a passing branch and whipped it at him, bouncing it off his thick bull head. "Ow," he said. "That hurt." He felt the skin above his eye. "What kind of lady throws crabapples at people?" Arya VIII - 597
Gendry breaks into Arga's conversation with Ned. Annoyed, Arya throws a crabapple at him. I originally planned to do Ned's flashback of defending Beric's body but I thought it would have been too similar to my picture of Thoros reviving Beric at the same battle. I went with the slapstick instead. I also find it cute that, wherever their relationship goes later, Arya has adopted Gendry as a substitute stupid older brother.

Arya... please give me your notes. How do you get them to... do that?
Ned was trying to apologize for upsetting her, but she did not want to hear it
As Arya was cinching her saddle girth, Gendry came up to say that he was sorry

Sorry a day late but here is day 15
Love
Five times Sansa helped her family find love and the one time they helped her
1. Sister
“I just don’t understand!” Said Sansa as she followed Arya.
“That is a new one.” Arya said with a roll of her eyes.
“Watch it…” Sansa warned. “You and Gendry are great together.”
“We are just friends.” Arya stressed.
“Yeah, I usually am struck speechless by my friend’s bodies as well.” Sansa deadpanned, referencing her sister’s reaction at the Stark-Poole pool party.
“You… You just don’t understand.” Arya said, pathetically.
Sansa growled in frustration before looking past Arya and smiling in realization. “Ok then. My friend Alla has expressed interest. I guess you would not mind if…”
“Absolutely not!”
“But you just said…”
“Gendry is mine! Back off!” Arya snapped, before there was a ‘het-hem’ behind her. Sansa’s sister’s long face got even longer as she recognized the source of the voice.
“Toodle-loo!” Sansa said, with a cheeky wave. “I am sure you two have a lot to talk about. Gendry? Our curfew is at 10pm. Try to have her back by then!”
2. Cousin
“Hey, Sansa.” Myrcella said, holding up a bag for the pool party.
“Oh! Hey Cella!” Sansa said, ushering her in. “You are… really early.”
Myrcella grimaced and Sansa waved her down when she realized how rude she came across. “I am so sorry! I just…”
“No! It is fine!”
“Sorry! I just got off of work and going home was the opposite direction and…”
“Cella, it is fine.” Sansa said, holding her forearms.
“Phew. In that case, is there anywhere for me to change?” She asked, and Sansa pointed her in the direction of the bathroom with the broken door.
“Thanks tons!” Myrcella said, practically skipping to the bathroom.
A moment later a voice behind her said, “Hey Sans, is there anyone in the downstairs bathroom?” Sansa turned to see Jon holding swim trunks at the base of the stairs. “Ma is hogging the one upstairs.”
“No you are good.” Sansa lied. Myrcella had been half in love with her cousin since the band incident but was too much of a chickenshit to do anything about it. Maybe Sansa could jumpstart it.
Jon walked over to the bathroom and opened the door without bothering to knock. Sansa got a good look into the room as Myrcella stiffened with her back to the door and her heart shaped butt on display.
Sansa stepped away so that she could not see into the bathroom to give her friend some privacy as Jon stammered out some apologies. Sansa smiled when instead of pushing Jon out of the doorway to slam the door, she grabbed him by the shirt and dragged him inside.
“About damned time…” She said to herself.
3. Brother
Sansa rolled her eyes at her baby brother, on his first date at the movies. She was somehow the one designated to supervise their date and munched on popcorn behind him.
Shireen Baratheon was a good family friend and it surprised everyone when he asked her out. With her scars the girl did not have the easiest time growing up and was a little untrusting when she was asked out by the handsome Rickon Stark. It was only Sansa interfering that stopped Rickon from totally mucking it up. (So Sansa was biased? Sue her!)
But it seems that Sansa is going to need to hold his hand for their entire relationship! Sitting in the row behind him, she saw how his hand kept rising to put over her shoulder before lowering, changing his mind. After the seventh time this happened Sansa rolled her eyes, grabbed his elbow as it rose and pushed it upwards and over the other girl's shoulder.
Shireen stiffened and looked over surprised. Rickon for his part looked just as surprised. The girl was not exactly convinced at his earnestness yet but leaned into the cuddle anyway, making Rickon look like the rooster who found the roost.
“Loser.” Sansa thought affectionately
4. Uncle
“I do not know…” Uncle Edmure said, scratching the back of his head.
“You like her. She likes you.” Sansa stressed, annoyed.
“She is your cousin.” Edmure said, looking at Myranda across the room sitting at their table looking bored.
“Exactly! My cousin!” Sansa stressed, even though that was a stretch. Her and Myranda shared a set of Great-Great-Great-Great Grandparent. Still their families were still close.
“Sansa I don’t…”
Sansa rolled her eyes and shouted, “Myranda! He said yes!”
Edmure gave her a look of horror and Sansa gave her a cheeky grin. “I expect to be a bridesmaid at your wedding!”
5. Aunt
Sansa sat playing with her doll and Margaery cleaned up the play area. The girls did not get to spend time together as they liked so they used the time they had had to the fullest.
“Is Willas picking you up?” Sansa asked.
“Probably. Why?”
“Nothing.” Sansa said, unconvincingly. “It is just… Aunt Lyanna gets happier when is the one to pick you up.”
“Really?” Margie said, mischievously.
“Yeah. And she said…” Sansa began before blushing hard.
“Go on.”
“She said that he has an… butt for days.” She finished causing both girls to start giggling in hysterics.
“You know what this means!” Margie asked. “It means she likes Willas! Old ladies only talk about boy’s butts when they like them!”
“We could be family!” Sansa whispered. “Aunt Lyanna?”
“Yes, sweetling?”
“Do you like Willas?” Sansa asked, and Lyanna turned scarlet.
“I’m sorry, what?”
“Do you like Willas? Margie’s brother?” Sansa said.
“Sansa…”
“You should ask him out!” Margie said, and Lyanna tilted her head. “I once heard him talk about how much he likes how you are with the horses.” Margie confirmed and if that was not a declaration of true Love Sansa did not know what was.
“I don’t know girls…” Lyanna began and Sansa piped up.
“You said that it is a woman’s world now too! And they should not hesitate to grab life by the treats.” Sansa said, reminding her aunt.
“By the what?”
“Treats!” Sansa said, beaming.
Lyanna finally realized what Sansa meant and she did not realize that she was there during that conversation with Lysa and was mortified that she was using that euphemism. But the girl was right. She should be the one to make the first move. Willas was plenty handsome and she deserved some of that man butt!
“You two are right.” Lyanna said, ruffling hair to both girl’s displeasure. “Maybe I will ask him out.”
Lyanna couldn’t help but grin as both girls jumped up and down and started dancing in successful glee.
1+ Family
Sansa looked up from her book as Uncle Edmure and Gendry walked in without a word. “Hey guys, what's oomph!” Sansa was taken off guard as the only two family members taller than her both picked her up and carried her to her room
Quicker than Sansa could think, she was deposited in her room where Myranda, Arya, Margaery, Myrcella, Shireen, and her Aunt Lyanna were waiting. “What is going on?” Sansa asked, but got no answer other than being stripped of her cropped sweatshirt, yoga pants and even bra.
The group (mostly Margaery and the Baratheon girls) quickly had her hair done up and make-up done, talking and joking with each other ignoring Sansa’s questions. Finally they were finished making her look like she was going to Prom again and Ed and Gendry picked her up and brought her to the door.
“Why do I feel like I am being sold?” Sansa asked rhetorically.
“Welllll….” Arya said, “You want to play matchmaker so badly we figured that we’d return the favor. My Friend Edric Dayne is outside.”
“What!” Sansa hissed, but before she got a response the door opened to see Ned in a sports coat and holding a Red Rose.
“Hi Ned.” She said, but the entire group behind her seemed to be intimidating him.
“Get her back at a decent hour!” Edmure said.
“But not too decent!” Myranda said with a waggle of her eyes.
“If you hurt her I will find you.” Lyanna said in a low growl.
“I- I am really looking forward to this.” Ned said, earnestly.
“Yeah, me too.” Sansa said.
“You had no idea this was happening did you?” Ned asked, completely unfooled.
“No.” She said, as he opened the passenger door to his purple truck. Between that and the rose, he was easily the most chivalrous man she had ever gone out with (not that Joffrey and Harry put up a great competition. “But that does not mean I am not excited!”

If there had been no WotFK, who do you think the Stark children would have married?
I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS!
So aside from two of my favorite pairings that did and did not quite come to fruition in the show (Bran x Meera, Arya x Gendry) I believe that most of the Stark children would have married Northerners and maybe one or two in the Riverlands and Vale. The honor of having a Stark enter their families is such a highly coveted value in the North and I firmly stand that Ned would seek to bestow every care on his bannerman without forcing his children into disagreeable arrangements or otherwise before they are ready.
Robb Stark
Myrcella Baratheon
Wynafryd Manderly
Dacey Mormont
Eddara Tallhart
Alys Karstark
As the heir of Winterfell and firstborn son of the Hand of the King, Robb would have every single young lady's eye. I would expect Robb to marry a Northerner, unless it was altered where King Robert wanted Myrcella married to honor Ned’s friendship and support over the many decades. This would then alleviate Sansa from Joffrey’s torment and Myrcella had developed a little crush on Robb during her time at Winterfell in AGOT. There are also unnamed daughters in House Umber that could be plausible for Robb’s consideration. Karstark and Tallhart seem on the sightly less likely side since Rickard Karstark had tried for several years to get Robb / Ned interested in his daughter but it never landed. Alys does end up being married to another northern lord.
Dacey and Robb become friends during the WOT5K, she is a bit older than him and might be too unladylike for Catelyn's approval. Dacey and Wynafryd are both the heirs to Bear Island and White Harbor, but since the two of them have younger sisters I can believe that their heiress title could be passed to a younger sister. Or one of the younger sons from Robb would become the heir to House Mormont or House Manderley. This isn't as much of an heiress big deal as Arianna Martell not marrying Willas Tyrell creating a double heir situation when Highgarden and Sunspear are much more comparable big game prizes for inheritance. Due to Wynafyrd's higher house standing and power I could see her being the forerunner for Robb to marry within the North.
While considering Robb and Margaery, it does not have as advantageous values for the Tyrells since Winterfell is so far removed geographically and politically, it seems on the more unlikely side that this pairing would happen. 
Sansa Stark
Joffrey Baratheon
Trystane Martell
Willas Tyrell (maybe Loras)
Edric Dayne
Jon Snow/Targaryen
Once free from being betrothed to Joffrey or not if Robert/Ned don't die early (or if Robb is with Myrcella), I could reasonably see Sansa having the whole of Westeros open for the opportunity from within King's Landing. I would expect her to marry outside of the North, Riverlands, and maybe even the Vale to consider one of the southernmost kingdoms. This would be one of the most to gain in political standing if it was from the Reach or Westernlands. As the firstborn daughter to the Hand of the King, Sansa would have the utmost attention and consideration for just about any great house's heir. I do see Dorne not being a forerunner though that could change if Prince Trystane Martell arrived In KL. The Baratheons outside of KL seem also not likely if she weren't involved with Joffrey. Eventually if Jon is a Targaryen and claims the throne I could see Sansa and Jon marrying to keep the North in the realm. If Sansa became a close companion to Margaery as Queen, she could easily be introduced to any lord within the Reach or in the stony mountains of Dorne nearby, which could open up House Dayne (special care for the Lady Ashara and Ned rumors) and I think that Sansa and Edric could be interesting.
Arya Stark
Beren Tallhart
Gawen Glover
Unnamed Umber Son
Gendry Waters
Maybe one of the younger Ryswells (Rickard or Roose) pending their unknown ages, I doubt Catelyn and Ned would approve of a large age gap. If Jojen Reed was not unfortunately doomed I could see Arya and him as a possible engagement. After Sansa, I find Arya to be the hardest Stark child to predict/guess a preplanned marriage for when not taking Gendry into factor.
Bran Stark
Meera Reed
Beth Cassel
Ysilla Royce
If he doesn't fall from the tower then I could see Bran going to the Vale since he has aspirations of being a knight and he could be fostered by Yohn Royce and become betrothed to his daughter Ysilla, before Mychel Redfort marries her in AFFC, or another unnamed Yohn Royce daughter. After some time in King's Landing if Robert were not to die early I could see him and Ned agreeing to send Bran and Tommen together to the Vale.
Rickon Stark
Lyanna Mormont
Wylla Manderly
I like the idea of Lyanna Mormont or Wylla Manderly to match Rickon's wild personality if Lyanna has more of her show presence rather than her minimal book appearances. With Wylla's green hair and Shaggydog's green eyes that could be potentially cute. If Robb married Dacey Mormont or Wynafyrd Manderley then I would see Rickon marrying into the other house.

I've had the Baratheon siblings on my mind all morning. It was almost impossible to get anything else out. BUT here we are. These scenes are for the first #WIPWednesday of the month! WOLF HUNT: "Umph," Edric wheezed the second their sister's vice grip wrapped around his waist. His rigid frame tightened further upon contact, looking ever so miserable. He let out a loud sigh, glanced down at one of their older siblings, and patted her head like someone's overly friendly dog. Edric glanced over Bella's head to silently plea for Gendry's help as time continued to tick by.
With a wide grin on his face, he uncrossed his arms. "Uh, Bella, our brother isn't much of a hugger. Now that you have your own agency, we can talk about boundaries."
"Yes, boundaries are a must," Edric peeled her away at arm's length, then patted her head again when she let go. "For instance, physical touch isn't necessary, especially on my part. Please, refrain."
Gendry narrowed his gaze at his brother, whose straightforward approach was borderline rude. Which was ironic the more he thought about it. Who would have ever thought he was the polite one.
HELLO: The medical examiner zig-zagged through the forensic team, who came and went like busy little bees. They had so few cases which resulted in a full investigation, according to Gendry. She wasn't aware Winterfell had such a department, to be honest. It was a topic Arya would approach later with the sheriff. For the moment, she stood in the entry of the therapist's office, eyes drifting from one thing to another. Eventually, she'd have to look at the victim's body, but peripheral warned her it would be just as gruesome as Jeyne Poole.
The burnt smell made the doctor wrinkle her nose. She was certain the body hadn't been caught in the flames of whatever caught fire; it didn't exactly fill her with warm fuzzy images. Gendry finally made it to the crime scene, replacing his winter gloves with latex. While he maintained a professional appearance, the strength of his presence nearby allowed Arya to glance ahead.
"Take a deep breath," the sheriff whispered, "before you enter. If you need something to put under your nose, let me know." He squeezed past her to enter the office, writing down notes in a tiny notepad.
Arya studied the body as it hung against the opposite wall. From a distance, she could see markings on his wrist, ankles, and mouth where he'd struggled against the restraints. However, it wasn't the wounds to his flesh that kept stealing her attention, but the scorched pattern behind him. She had seen this symbol before in her night terrors.
Three steps back, the Stark looked on in horror. A weirwood tree. Its painted red leaves fanned out along the edges of the wall. The spiraled symbol covered most of the design, and the body's outstretched limbs hid the tree trunk. And though she couldn't be for certain, the sirens going off in her mind told her this murder wasn't as mundane as they'd originally believed. No, this was something more.
A man's sacrifice to the Old Gods.
