You Need Me on That Wall!

By Montykins

Lord Stark arrives at King's Landing and immediately starts hating his job. Things look up a bit when he finds out that Lady Stark followed him, then they look down again when it turns out that the dagger held by Bran's attempted assassin was last owned by Tyrion Lannister. So she has to leave again. That leaves him to deal with Arya, who has decided she hates everyone, especially her sister Sansa. So he naturally sets her up with a fencing class, because if she's going to have daydreams about stabbing everyone, she might as well be good at it. He might be planning on having her stab some of the people he has to work with now.

Up at the Wall, Jon Snow doesn't like any of his new coworkers either, since they're all terrible at fighting and seem resentful when he breaks their noses while training. Tyrion, who already holds everyone in contempt anyway, breaks it to Snow that not everyone gets to grow up in a big castle with a personal combat instructor. So Snow starts getting along with people and even seems to like Tyrion now. Tyrion achieves his goals of urinating off the edge of the Wall and getting under everyone's skin, so he heads back south.

Out east, Daenerys has started to realize that she's the queen of a giant horde of bad-ass killers and her brother is just some dude with a bad temper. So she takes a little less guff from him. Also, she's pregnant, which means she wants to eat goat, not horse.

There's also a dollop of backstory about exactly how Jaime Lannister killed the last king. Answer: he stabbed him in the back. Heroic!
