Artist's Comments

She pushed two of her snowballs together, added a third, packed more snow in around them, and patted the whole thing into the shape of a cylinder. When it was done, she stood it on end and used the tip of her little finger to poke holes in it for windows. The crenellations around the top took a little more care, but when they were done she had a tower. I need some walls now, Sansa thought, and then a keep. She set to work.

The snow fell and the castle rose. Two walls ankle-high, the inner taller than the outer. Towers and turrets, keeps and stairs, a round kitchen, a square armory, the stables along the inside of the west wall. It was only a castle when she began, but before very long Sansa knew it was Winterfell. She found twigs and fallen branches beneath the snow and broke off the ends to make the trees for the godswood. For the gravestones in the lichyard she used bits of bark. Soon her gloves and her boots were crusty white, her hands were tingling, and her feet were soaked and cold, but she did not care. The castle was all that mattered. Some things were hard to remember, but most came back to her easily, as if she had been there only yesterday. The Library Tower, with the steep stonework stair twisting about its exterior. The gatehouse, two huge bulwarks, the arched gate between them, crenellations all along the top ...

And all the while the snow kept falling, piling up in drifts around her buildings as fast as she raised them. She was patting down the pitched roof of the Great Hall when she heard a voice, and looked up to see her maid calling from her window. Was my lady well? Did she wish to break her fast? Sansa shook her head, and went back to shaping snow, adding a chimney to one end of the Great Hall, where the hearth would stand inside.

EDIT: A DA pal has pointed me that my drawing is really similar to this one [link] by the wonderful russian artist Amok . Please, don't think I've steal the idea or something! :( Is a SCARY coincidence, indeed!

Even when tomorrow arrives and everything disappears, if you continue at my side smiling, I won't need nothing else.

Que bonito, además es uno de los momentos casi mágicos de Sansa, una pena que el asquerosito del niñato se lo cargara todo :( Bueno que sepas que ya estoy esperando el siguiente, que estás de racha con el fanart de canción de hielo y fuego, para cuando me haces a Jon en el murito??? *hint hint* :D
