"You may see my sex as weakness sir but I see it as strength. I have a heart strong enough to make Joffrey weep."

Robb Stark

Nor my father

Perhaps I'm something worse

I've loved you

From the moment I held you

Until after you are gone.

Synopsis:

The war of five kings. An unnecessary display of power, each desperate to be the top of the wheel. Targaryen, Lannister, Baratheon, Greyjoy, Martell, Tyrell and so it goes on and on and on. In the midst of war Joanna Lannister remembered the one rule her mother had taught the only lesson to carry through life

'We play an ugly game. When you play the game of thrones there can only be one winner. You either win or die."

Joanna Lannisters heart had always been too big for Cersei to comprehend. She would set fire to the world to keep her dearest warm. She carried this through her struggle during the war. Fighting to keep those she loved dearly closest to the gods safety, in return only to lose them.

But such is the risk of playing the game of love. However through her preserverence she opted to change her fate written in a book of bloodshed and war. Enough for the realm to see her worthy of a kings crown.
