Robert is so much fun to write. I wouldn't say that I really like him, but I find him incredibly entertaining, especially in contrast with Stannis. I put in the part about Stannis' dreams because I'm sure even Stannis had them, even Stannis wanted more from his life at some point than to do Robert's work for no reward. I think grown-up Stannis doesn't even know what he wants anymore, because he's so used to not getting it.
his childhood that was practically stolen from him with the death of his parents. I'm glad that came across. Stannis was always serious, even as a child, but after his parents died he just couldn't afford to be a serious child anymore, he had to be a man, whether he was ready for that or not. And I always thought it was tragic how fondly Stannis seems to remember his parents, when he barely shows any affection for anyone else.
bb!Renly is incredibly cute. And then he grew up. :(
