They arrived at Winterfell as united front Daenerys and Jon Snow riding side by side Jon wearing all black and Daenerys was an all white everyone stood tall and proudly for the king of the north and the queen.

Sandor wish rode in tall and large and arya noticed him she saw the man she left to die, alive and well and with her brother and the dragon queen. Arya was shocked to see him, but he didn't notice her. He was too busy smiling- SMILING- at little san. He rode his own horsey. He looked like the little man alive as he sat proud on his horse.

Oceana rode beside him. It was impossible not to see drogo in him. The only time she really saw herself in san was when they were on yhe open water swimming or sailing. San loved the water something drogo never got the chance to get used to.

Bran sat front and center in front of Winterfell when Jon got there he hugged and kissed his head.

'Look at you he said you're a man' jon said looking at his brother. Sitting in a wheel chair. Immobilized from the fall.

'Almost,' bran told him.

"I bouncing!" San declared as his horse came to a stop.

"You did a great job." Oceana agreed jumping down. Jorah moved to san offering him a hand down

"You ride like your father." Jorah told him. Sans smile widened.

"I dont really remember him all that much. But sometimes hes in my dreams." San remarked as jorah placed him on the ground.

"You do?" Oceana asked moving towards winterfells castle and out of the snow.

"Yeah. Can you braid my hair like his?"

"I can and i would love to." Oceana confirmed.

'As soon as we heard of the wall falling I called all our men back... when can we expect your people to arrive?'

Oceana sat at a back table half listening as san shoveled food into his mouth much like his uncle beisde him. Meanwhile jorah listened to every word. He was a battle man.

'We need more horses and wagons if it pleases my lady and my Lord. And my queen' the boy, Ned Umber added looking from Sansa to Jon to Daenerys.

'We will give you as many as we can spare'

'We need to send ravens to the night watch as well' Jon added.

'Your Grace... But you're not are you? You left Winterfell a king and came back a... I'm not sure what you are now a lord? Nothing at all?' a girl, Alys Karstark. the lords and ladies bickering.

'That is not important' Jon told her.

Oceana tied off the last little braid and san smiled touching his hair.

"I will never cut my hair. Be a warrior." San decided.

"You know your mama used to wear braids in her hair all the time. Your father loved it." Jorah recalled.

"Of course he did." Oceana chuckled. She remembered it fondly.

Oceana wore her hair in braids for one reason. Out of spite. The men in drogo and hers- people always forgot that the khalassar was for king and queens khalassar. All the braids they decorated her head like a damn crown.

Braids meant winning wars.

The men didnt like that. The women wore their hair down and in their faces. Tangled and knotted and easily pulled by the men. Drogo never complained about her braids so fuck em. She was going to do what she wanted with her body her hair included.

*Cheat.* Valhal spat.

"You are mispronouncing winner." Oceana purred tossing a braid over her shoulder. Drogo smiled moving to her.

*What did he do?* drogo questioned.

*i love that you know it was him and not your perfect amazing wife.* oceana agreed draping her arms over his shoulders as she got up on her toes. Her clegane height - not nearly as tall as her brothers but taller than most the women in the khalassar she easily leaned up kissing drogo.

'May I ask how we are supposed to feed all of these armies, the dathraki and the unsullied and two full grown dragons?' sansa questioned 'What do dragons eat anyway?' Sansa questioned pulling oceana from a memory.

'Whatever they want.' Daenerys told her smugly. Sansa worried the new queen meant herself. A little stark girl would be a good snack for her dragons.

"I dont like her." Sansa remarked that night.

"Me either." Oceana assured.

"Really?"  Sansa countered.

"I hate her." Oceana agreed.

"I didnt expect that from you." Sansa admitted.

"Why?"

"I dont know I figured you two would be friends." Sansa remarked.

"Because we have the same husband?"

"I dont know..." sansa shrugged. "But i know one thing for sure Shes a terror." Sansa whispered.

"A terror." Oceana agreed.

"Terror!" San declared.

"Im not a terror though." Oceana clarified

"No. Not at all." Sansa confirmed.

"What are you two talking about?" Sandor questioned coming up behind them. "Oh, its you." Sandor remarked seeing sansa.

"Hello..." Sansa offered awkwardly.
