The Young Wolf's Journey: Chapter 7 poll (August 2022) (Patreon)

((Note: If a smut scene doesn’t feel natural with whatever wins, I will include some sort of opening scene with some combination of Robb/Margaery/Dacey/Mira picking up from last chapter. So you don’t HAVE to pick the Jon option to see smuttiness, lol.

I also compiled the first six chapters into one document to make it easier for me to reference things, and since I was doing that I figured I might as well try and convert it into PDF and epub format. Those are attached to this post. I’ve never done that before, so let me know if there are any issues with it.))

With Tyrion (and Margaery) in place in Casterly Rock, Robb sets out to return to the war. Where does the War of Five (now Three) Kings take us next?

North, where Robb finally fights to chase the Ironborn off of his lands

The Tyrells may want to set off for King’s Landing with all due haste, but Robb can ignore the urging of his Northmen no longer. He attempted to form an alliance with Balon Greyjoy, and the bastard repaid him by invading the North. With Tywin and the Lannisters now defeated, Robb’s next move is to reclaim the North from the Ironborn. Stannis can wait. Robb was the King in the North before he ever met Margaery, and he won’t abandon his people now.

(Further) North, where Jon Snow is torn between honor and love

Qhorin Halfhand tasked Jon with getting close to the wildlings and learning their plans, and so he has. Only he can warn the Night’s Watch of what Mance Rayder intends, provided he can get away from the wildlings and make it to Castle Black. Jon has played the part of the turncloak—but his love for Ygritte is very real. The time for Jon to choose grows near, but first he spends some time in a cavern with his wildling lover.

East, where Robb and Stannis talk terms

Will peace be possible so long as Stannis refuses to give up the throne and Robb refuses to bend the knee to him? It seems unlikely, but that’s no reason not to try. Plus there’s Sansa’s safety to consider. Before he resorts to the admittedly all but inevitable decision of marching on King’s Landing, Robb will treat with Stannis to see if there is any chance that no more blood must be spilled.

In King’s Landing, where Sansa finds a friend in a beautiful blonde singer

Friends are not easy to come by for Sansa Stark in King’s Landing, but a beautiful and kind singer who arrived in King’s Landing recently might be different. The gentle performer seems to genuinely care about Sansa’s well-being, which is more than can be said about anyone else in King’s Landing. But should Sansa listen to the young woman’s urgings to not trust Ser Dontos or entertain his plans of helping her escape? Should she place her faith in the young woman with the sweet voice and the golden hair?
