Despite Our Circumstances

Summary:

Sansa Stark had always expected to marry a fine lord, or knight, or maybe even a prince when she grew up, some handsome man to sweep her off her feet, take her back to his castle and become his. But that dream shatters into a million pieces when her betrothal is announced - and it's to a woman.

As Sansa travels to Highgarden to meet her soon-to-be lady wife Margaery Tyrell she has no idea that she's headed towards the ultimate love of her life.

These two women embark on a journey that will change their lives, the course of history, and shake the foundations of Westeros itself.

Notes:

Before you begin (hopefully) reading, I'd like to mention just a few things.

First of all, if you took the time to click on this and read my fic here, thank you so much. It means the absolute world to me.

Second, there's one or two things I'd like to mention about this 'verse. In this, women have the right to inherit as equally as men. Inheritance is judged by order of birth, not male-centered.

Third, the first part of this fic is largely setting up the characters and the setting, with the majority of that being fluff. If you came to me for action, you'll have to wait just a few thousand words :D Also, this is a first draft with minor editing, it's not going to be perfect. I'm sure I'll do a rewrite at some point but for now just bear with me. :)

I'd also like to mention that in this fic there will be underage sexual content, non-consensual sex, graphic depictions of violence and character deaths. If this is troubling to you and may affect you more than you care to admit, you have been cautioned. The majority of these will not be tagged until I publish the chapters they occur in.

This fic has been a long labor of love and I'd just like to thank you again for taking the time to click on it. I hope you enjoy!
