Young Wolf's Journey: Chapter 15 discussion (Patreon)

So, after having basically a purely smutty chapter last time to take a breath after the conclusion of the 'Stannis Arc', obviously the upcoming chapter will start setting the stage for upcoming events in the plot with Robb and Margery now having control of King's Landing. I started writing a scene with Robb's new small council for last chapter before changing direction, but we'll see something with that this time. I also have an idea or two for other things we can at least briefly check in on elsewhere, specifically with Robb's family.

We've mainly been focusing on what's happening with Robb in this story, and when there have been poll options that would temporarily put us somewhere else to explore a different plotline with other characters, you guys seem to want to stick with a Robb-centric story. This might be a good approach in general, as this story will be large enough without trying to juggle several different viewpoints. Things are obviously happening elsewhere in the world whether we're seeing it or not, though, so we'll need to consider what's happening in, say, Meereen with Daenerys, or at the Wall. Even if you guys let me know that we should generally not see it until Robb is directly involved with it, obviously we'll have to keep in mind how what's happening in the main plot might change what characters elsewhere are doing.

The War of Five Kings has gone in a very different direction, of course, so it's hard to pinpoint a precise equivalent point in the canon story as far as where we're at. But it feels to me like the Battle of Castle Black should have already happened by this point. Is that a story point you'd like to see a bit of in this chapter, whether it's happening at this moment or not (ASOIAF chapters aren't strictly chronological anyway.) Or maybe we get an update after the fact--the new Lord Commander sends a letter to King's Landing in this chapter, perhaps?

Beyond the things I've thrown at the wall here, I'm open to whatever ideas/suggestions you guys want to put forth for this chapter, whether plot-related, smutty or both.
