Caetlyn Stark is stubborn! Arya gets her strong will from her mother. But I'm glad Caetlyn is coming around.

Ahh, dear Joffrey, the beloved pile of dirt with a golden crown seated on top of his mound. He really thinks he's something, the little maniac! "A big mouth don't make a big man." -John Wayne

Ned was right. Being the Hand of the King IS cursed! But, maybe Tyrion can play the game more wisely than Ned.

What a burden Maester Luwin has on his shoulders! I feel stressed just reading it. Bran finally told the truth! Maybe he won't have so many nightmares now. But how will they prove it?

Master Aemon. Wise choice.

Good Story. I'm still irked about Brienne dying but you write rich and vivid characters so I can live without any Braime :)

Brienne just...DIES in Renly's tent? Well this is several hours of reading I won't get back again

They're together! Yay! Thank goodness!

But something tells me this is far from over...

Well, now. That was really interesting! I hope Baelish gets what is coming to him. I hope Varys is able to outwit him.

They're actually together! Wow! They made it this far. Wasn't sure it would happen.

Gotta admit, Tywin knows how to maintain his diplomacy. But... what is he up to behind all of these 'negotations'? He is the great lion of King's Landing. There is a farce here, somewhere.

Good to have all the girls together.

You know NOTHING, King Joffrey.

I'm just so relieved they're all out of King's Landing! Ha, Joffrey telling Sandor not to return. You can be sure he won't!

Nymeria? Thank goodness she arrived when she did! I truly believe it WAS Arya, watching over her sister.

Whoa, Sansa is blossoming a bit of sass there. Now she's confronting the Hound without fear. Kudos, girl. I would have loved to have seen the look on his face when both Sansa and Jeyne got off their horses to help the men, showing him up like I'm sure he NEVER expected! That was a great scene! That must have been incredibly embarrassing for him!

Is it true? Did Sandor have other siblings?

Will TYWIN keep HIS word?

I really hope this isn't a Sandor/sansa story...That concept is just so wrong on so many levels. I mean in a world where there is commonly accept aunt/nephew cousin/cousin and even twin pairing it takes something special to stand out as disturbing but Sandor/Sansa is it.

I really like this story so hopefully that doesnt happen.

Arya will be furious. She'll never go through with it! And for once, I agree with her.

They finally got Ned back, thank God! We'll see how this negotiation-if you can call it that-plays out.

Great chapter!

Baelish arrested? About time. Bet he didn't see that one coming. Of course, he'll probably talk his way into appearing innocent. We'll see how long his imprisonment lasts.

I think Cersei appointed the Hound to go with Sansa because she thinks the girl is afraid of him and will be too scared to try anything foolish. Joke's on her.

So glad they were able to save her friend. I love how protective the Hound is of Sansa, and how though she doesn't like his mindset, she trusts him. His line at the end was great:

"Come, little birds. Time to fly!"

Best chapter so far! Is it corny that I enjoyed this one? Loved them cutting Tywin off so many times that he was confused or just struck dumb.

I think Tywin has met his match with Ned Stark:

"You're his father. He will listen to you."

"Do your children always listen to you?" Ohh! So satisfying. And Cersei thinks Ned is so weak for not being able to play the game of thrones according to her rules. Evil chuckle. I mean, come on. Ned Stark has more guts than King's Landing gives him credits for!

Really, Tywin? Don't be a fool. Swallow your pride-you can puke it out later if it burns your stomach that much (oh, and it will, trust me)-and just face it. Your kids are a disgrace to the realm. So... instead of taking it out on the people and those who know the truth already, why don't you... like say, deal with the ones committing the atrocity? Namely, Jaime and Cersei?

Listen, big and scary dude. Don't... even... think... about...it. Ohh, you Lannisters, you just can't stand not to be in control, can you? I know, I know, lions...king of the jungle and all. Give it up already. If you set Ned up for disaster, what the heck makes you think the Starks will not trace it back to you? I mean, who else could have come up with such an idea? I thought you were smarter than that. Arya will know. She's sharp as a dagger.

She is dangerous when she is hurt. A Lannister always pays his debts. Yeah? Well, digest this:

The North remembers. They will never forgive or forget.

Favorite chapter so far!

Poor Lommy. If only he could've survived. He might have liked Winterfell.

Things ought to be interesting once they face Tywin.

I hope Gendry telling Arya the truth with Hot Pie overhearing won't cause problems for them later!
