What Could Have Been (For Us)

When they had gotten married, Sansa didn’t know what to expect from Podrick. At 22 and two years into her reign, she wasn’t the innocent maiden she’d once been, and everything she knew of laying with a man was the pain Ramsay enjoyed inflicting her.
Her new husband – the one she had chosen to marry when it became clear the lords wouldn’t be calmed without an assurance of a Stark heir for the North – wasn’t like any of the others that came before him. They were both there by their own choice, and he knew better than to wish her to fully love him, but made his mission to love her and their children the best he could and to make her feel like in heaven every single day.
Still, even after 8 happy years with Podrick, Sansa can’t help but think what could have been if Jon hadn’t left her. When he comes to the celebration of the 10th year of her reign, some feelings that had been long buried come to surface once again.
