Tyrion had heard his uncles talk of the love between them.

1 - PROLOGUE
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
Tywin was our sun.
He rose. Inevitably. In all his golden glory.
He carried us, this son of Lannister. High into the heavens, where dragons flew. Because of me. Because I would accept nothing less. Because he loved me.
I made him my husband.
Let us speak of the dawn of days, when our sun was rising.
Before we knew that a rising sun must fall just as far.
Before the great lions of the western hills were slain.
WHEN OUR SUN WAS RISING

I don’t know what to say to this… I… Tyrion, is this the Pod that you told me I could pinch?
I’ve never had someone with a crush on me before.
This is the very same Pod, although I didn’t know at the time that he would enjoy a pinch from you quite so much.











OOC - I know I suck, guys, just…keep it to yourselves, please.
Lady Sansa, should you see any interesting books lying around on your dash, YOU SHOULD OPEN THEM, DESPITE WHAT THEY SAY. AND COMMENT ON THEM.
Gonna go run back to Tywin’s account now, where it’s much less awkward.
