The Dance of the Ocean and Moon [Book One]

Brienne of Tarth Fanfiction.
This is a story set in George R.R. Martin's famed A Song of Fire and Ice series. It takes place in an alternate timeline in which Jon Snow and Sansa Stark returned to Castle Black after the Battle of the Bastards in Season 6. While they leave Winterfell in very capable hands, more work needs to be done in preparation for the real war coming between The Others-their icy adversary from beyond The Wall-and mankind.
Sansa and Jon send their trusted King's Guardsman, Brienne of Tarth, with her squire Podrick Payne, out into the isolated villages, towns, and Great Houses of the North, to recruit more soldiers for the Night's Watch. When the two find themselves in a bleak situation an ally appears. This new ally, by the name of Saga, may hold the key to winning the battles to come-a wealth of Dragon Glass.
Jon Snow aligns with this new ally in order to advance their chances of making it out of the Long Night alive. In the meantime, the conflict that has been plaguing the Kingdoms spills over into the Stark children's business and they are forced to face it at the same time.
This is the story of Brienne and Saga who are sent to deal with these many problems that Sansa and Jon are faced with. While on their journey, an unexpected bond is built between the stranger and Brienne. However, Brienne is not used to this sort of affection. While battling the Stark's adversaries and the threat beyond the wall, she must also deal with the conflict in her heart. Will she give in to the feelings she is having for this woman? Or will her life-time of hiding behind the walls she built destroy any chance she has with Saga?
