First of all, wow, this is epic, and it's beautifully done. There is so much that I liked about this fic, and so much that fascinates me about this particular pairing - the idea that they are both so damaged that neither of them at first is able to realize that the other finds them pleasing (does this make sense? it's late and I just cleaned my whole apt. so I'm delirious) and the general dynamic that would exist between them.
So many awesome things...
-The Kingsguard!Jon/Stannis at the beginning: I bet Jon wants to trade places with his sister and :D at his giving Stannis sex advice.
-Sansa trying to find something to love about her husband and the fact that despite all of the horrors that she's faced, she's still a lady and hasn't lost her sweetness.
-Kissing Stannis reminds her of home. And Sansa insisting that he kiss her first. :3
-Sansa almost being able to hear him brood.
-Stannis finally knocking off the angst and enjoying himself in bed for the first time. And how they both enjoy it, in the end.
Yeah, this is a massive comment. But I have really been looking forward to reading this pairing ever since you made me ship SanStan (forgive me for that, Stannis would not approve) and it was great.
