A Most Suitable Marriage

Back in 2014, I had the brilliant idea to write my first Tyrion/Sansa fanfic. I even posted about it here. Well, it took me nearly four years, but I finally finished writing one. Of course, it's not the fic I thought I'd write. A lot happened between Season 3 and Season 7 of Game of Thrones that changed what I might have written. Still, I love the fic I wrote, and I have finally begun posting it on both Archive of Our Own and Fanfiction.net. 

Summary: After the Night King has been defeated and Jon and Daenerys have claimed the Iron Throne, Sansa Stark takes her rightful place as the Lady of Winterfell. Sansa knows that she must marry again someday for the good of the North, but after all that she has suffered, she is certain that she will never marry for love. Instead, she decides on a much more practical match, offering her hand in marriage to the only man outside of her own family who has never betrayed her, Tyrion Lannister.

Temptation

The last time I wrote even a single word of fiction was back in November of last year.  My 2013 NaNoWriMo novel, Taming the Savage, is the longest one I have written so far, coming in at just over 111k words.  Initially, it ran so long because I was determined to surpass a friend's word count (he beat me anyway), but by the end, I just wanted to beat my previous record of 110k.  Anyway, the point is that, since November, I have not written anything, and now I am tempted to write something so bizarre, so out of left field, that I don't even know how to feel about it.

A couple of months ago, a friend at work got me into watching Game of Thrones.  I watched all 30 episodes of the first three seasons in two short weeks.  It was a whirlwind love affair, and of the seemingly millions of characters on the show, I fell absolutely head over heels for Tyrion Lannister.  Honestly, how can you not? 

Now, although I am a born shipper (my first ship was actually Remington Steele and Laura Holt when I was six years old) I do occasionally find works of fiction that are so compelling that I do not feel the need to get caught up in a relation"ship" in order to love them.  Supernatural falls into that category.  So does Red Dwarf and a bunch of other great shows.  And, up until a few a weeks ago, I thought the same thing about Game of Thrones.  But that was only until . . . well . . . perhaps I should insert a . . .
