the stoneheart storyline began with arya pulling catelyn’s desecrated corpse out of the river. after the freys made a mockery of the her houses customs

the only way this can end is by arya giving lady stoneheart mercy and returning her body to the river with the proper tully funeral rites. 

nothing else will do 

imagine.

  • arya hearing about this lady stoneheart and being like ??????? who the fuck is this person ?????
  • gendry telling arya who she is because somebody has to and it should be a friend 
  • arya bravely approaching whats left of her mother. 
  • “dead things did not frighten her” 
  • stoneheart touching aryas face, saying her name, seeing ned’s eyes
  • arya cries! stoneheart cries! we all cries!
  • arya telling her mother that bran and rickon and sansa are still alive
  • arya finding out that her mother always wanted her back  
  • (these two things will bring them both so much of peace of mind and heart!!!!)
  • arya: “ive got to save you.”
    lady stoneheart: “you already have.”
  • thats all arya wanted!!!! to save her mother!!!!!! 
  • arya giving stoneheart mercy so her mother can finally be at rest – no longer tormented by her anger
  • arya preparing the body for the funeral herself 
  • arya standing on the shore thinking that ned and robb are waiting for catelyn 
  • arya in riverrun – the place where her mother grew up
  • arya being comforted by gendry 
  • arya becoming the new leader of the brotherhood 
  • arya realizing she doesnt need her list anymore. it won’t ease the pain of her losses. all she can do is move forward. 
  • arya being reunited with nymeria after this heartbreaking mess and feeling whole because she’s with her other half again 
  • arya heading north with her new crew ready to kick some white walker ass

#PERFECTION #also i was rereading Hoster’s funeral scene and man oh man: #‘seven were chosen to push the funereal boat to the water in honor of the seven faces of god’ #ofc i started to imagine what the most heart-wrenching line up would be for Cat’s #also also: what if arya doesn’t know about bran and rickon and sansa yet #so stoneheart crowns arya thinking she’s the last stark left: Arya the Unlikely #she doesn’t really want it or plan to keep it but she doesn’t refuse it either because it’s the last thing her mother will ever do #and that combined Stark/Tully sense of duty to others is strong #there goes all that queen foreshadowing coming to fruition in an unexpected way at least temporarily #idk ppl usually assume arya will be conveniently absent for whatever mini succession crisis goes down in the North #but what if she rocks up with the riverlands and a wolf pack at her back and the crown of the kings of winter on her head #WILDCARD (via @insomniarama)
