grav_ityGame of Thrones and I have a complicated relationship, but the one thing we can agree on is HOW AWESOME Ned and Cat Stark are.
By no coincidence,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oparu thinks so too, and she has written an absolutely beautiful fic about them for the Winterverse Trope Challenge.
Her assignment was "Annoying Arrows", but she let me pick the fandom and who got shot. Nevertheless, I did not expect so much stable relationship, hurt/comfort, cuddling for warmth, costume porn (with additional bonus points for weaponry), AWESOMENESS, with Excellent Married People Dialogue thrown in for good measure.
And aside from hitting pretty much every narrative kink I have, the story is beautiful. I haven't read a word of ASoIaF (the only time I've even opened one was when I dropped six on the floor at work), so I have no idea if it's a style-match and frankly, I don't care. There is SO MUCH Ned and Cat in this fic, and it is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.
Without further ado, I recommend you read Pierced. Even if you know nothing about the fandom, it's a beautiful story of two people who are so practically in love you just want to hug them ALL THE TIME. And if you do know things about the fandom, you will see plenty of things you like. :)
