A great example of an unexpected disability aid! I bet snowblowers would be helpful for people with POTS, hypermobility, balance issues, and limited physical strength as well.

Caught with my snowblower down

We woke up Sunday to 6 inches of snow on our quarter-mile-long driveway and our snowblower utterly detached from the situation, totally unready for action.

Of course it’s not the snowblower’s fault. If you must blame someone, blame me.

In my defense, a) I just barely got the mulching mower off the tractor, with plenty of leaves still on the ground, b) we were away from home most of the weekend and, c) I can’t recall ever getting enough snow in November to need the blower.

I feel like Kaelith is gripping the sheets so hard because she's trying her damned best not to pounce on Aly. Hyperfixates on every soft brush of Aly's hands on her, tries her best to not reach out and seem too eager and is very scared of being seen in a vulnerable state. But Aly would 100% make her feel so safe, I feel like 🤭

Ooohh, and how do you think Ned would react after? Sorry if this is a lot but I've been thinking about this and I need your professional opinion 🙂‍↕️🤭

First, never a lot. Like Stark men and breeding kinks, Margaux must be written as loving yapping, that’s just a rule.

The first time between Kaelith and Aly. 👀 I’m imagining Aly calls Kaelith into her chambers for something, and is already mostly undressed, because she’s seen how Kaelith looks at her. She probably just bluntly asks Kaelith if she wants her to bed her, and tells her she will, but Kaelith has to let her take care of her.

And then Aly takes her damn TIME. She is kissing every inch of skin, running her hands up and down Kaelith’s legs, murmuring how pretty Kaels is and how she’s so good for staying still for her. Only when Kaelith is practically whimpering does she get down between her legs, telling her “you can grab my hair if you want, pretty girl” before eating her out like Kaels is the only meal Aly’s ever wanted.

And after she’s gotten her off, sensing how hard it was for Kaelith to be vulnerable, she absolutely lets Kaelith get on top and do whatever she wants. Literally whatever, she’s just praising her the entire time. Afterwards, they lie together for a long while, Aly just gently stroking Kaelith’s hair.

Ned knows what’s coming. He might not pick up on it himself, but Aly definitely mentions it at some point, just a casual “I caught the Bolton girl staring; she could be fun, you know,” and he gives her a noncommittal grunt that lets her know he’s not going to seduce her, but if she wants to, that’s her business.

Now, either Kaelith leaves just before Ned comes back to their chambers (Aly has her own bedroom and boudoir, but they connect to Ned’s through a shared solar/sitting area. She and Ned always sleep in his bed.) or he comes back while Kaelith and Aly are together. Probably Aly times it so it’s the latter, because she would have more fun with that. And so he’s just sitting by the fire, reading, when Kaelith goes to leave. Without looking up, he says “Did you enjoy my wife?” And whatever Kaelith’s answer is, so long as it’s positive, he just nods and tells her to have a good evening.
