In the spirit of #TEASERTuesday, I've lined up several unmarked passages. Can you guess where each one belongs?
-----------
[1] Arya let her hand roam over the name STARK chiseled deep within the stone, like many others in the crypt. What other secrets had they kept? What stories did they bury with them to keep their family safe? No matter, now, she thought. The past is never truly lost, and she will eventually uncover them all.
She laid the fresh bouquet at the foot of the newly furnished marble, a contribution made in memoriam of the brother she lost and the one she never had.
[2] Immaturely, much like when they were young, she slid her tongue over the top of the sandwich before taking a bite. "I licked it," she chewed before moving the food to one side of her mouth, "it's mine."
His brow rose as he glanced over at the brunette. "If we're going by those rules, does that make you mine?"
[3] She wrapped the blanket closer, resting her chilled face in the crook of Gendry's neck. The search and rescue team discovered nothing in the initial hours. Some officials mentioned they likely wouldn't find a body until spring. He motioned them away, then ushered her into the backseat of a vehicle, his lips never far away from the top of her head. Arya sensed he needed as much reassurance as she did that all of this was well and truly over.
[4] "Turns out you can have more than one partner," she shrugged innocently, "and I love a good collection." After a long moment of silence, Shireen casually lifted Gendry's chin from the ground. She patted his cheek and reminded him to eat lunch.
Unfortunately, his cousin had already disappeared from the classroom before he could respond. Gendry palmed his forehead. "Teenagers," the professor muttered to no one but his long-forgotten sanity.
[5] "Oh, you are fulfilling quite the fantasy, Stark," Gendry leaned away from the doorframe with two new mugs of coffee. He sat their drinks on the low table in front of the couch. "Now, unclip your hair and shake it out. Tell me I'm falling behind in class and need extra special attention from the teacher."
"Does this fantasy also involve bending you over a desk and spanking you with a ruler?" Arya snorted into the steaming cup before she took a sip. Gendry's incoherent sputtering had the professor cackling shortly after his enthusiastic nodding. "Only if you say please."
[6] "If you think this has a happy ending," the edge of a blade skimmed the hairs on Ramsay's cheek, "you haven't been paying attention." His own warning echoed back at him by a faceless voice. He chuckled, squinting through the darkness to identify his savior.
"Name your price, then, " he leaned into the knife until the familiar metallic scent filtered between them. "I assume that's why you kept me alive."
