Summary
A lion is forced to visit a wolf each year to “learn love.”
They learn war instead—until winter teaches them something softer.
Every year, without fail, the Matchers bind House Lannister and House Stark together with a visit—children pushed into borrowed courtesies, expected to grow into a bond strong enough to hold the realm. Jaime arrives at Winterfell at ten with a practiced smirk and a sword too big for him; Sansa is five, all quiet fury and Northern pride, clutching the Old Gods like a shield. They are told to be friends. They become rivals. Then something worse: strangers who know each other too well. When they are formally betrothed—Sansa at eighteen, Jaime at three-and-twenty—the realm expects an easy fairy tale: lion and wolf, gold and snow, a marriage built by force and polished by ceremony. But Winterfell remembers every slight. And Jaime Lannister does not call a woman beautiful just because the world tells him to.
