Game of Thrones Season One 
“When you play the game of thrones you win or you die.”

• Book!Cat: Ned, you must go to Kings Landing to help Robert and find out what happened to Jon Arryn!
• HBO!Cat: Ned, stay here with me!
• Book!Cat: <during the King in the North scene> Robb, let's trade for the girls and sue for peace. You can't bring your father back.
• HBO!Cat: <during the same scene> ::silent::
• Book!Cat: Look, Robb, I know you don't want to negotiate with the Lannisters but you have to give them something. Okay, those terms aren't exactly what I was thinking but you're the King.
• HBO!Cat: ::strangely missing from the negotiation table::
• Book!Cat: I don't care what you say, Robb, I'm not going home I'm staying right here by any means necessary. Also if you're going to negotiate with Balon Greyjoy you shouldn't give up our only hostage.
• HBO!Cat: You can't trust Balon! I want to go home!
• Book!Cat: Trying to forge an alliance with Renly Baratheon could be a good idea.
• HBO!Cat: Okay, Robb, I'll go negotiate with Renly, but I really want to go home.
• Book!Cat: <<discusses strategy and tactics with Renly>>
• HBO!Cat: <<gets dismissed to her tent by Renly>>
• Book!Cat: Releases Jaime after hearing about Rickon and Bran's "deaths", hoping to get back Sansa, who besides being her beloved daughter, is also a useful political piece (as Tywin *and* Robb would later note) and at that moment Robb's heir
• HBO!Cat: Releases Jaime because all her children are held captive and she wants them back
• Book!Robb: Forgives his mother because he has also done something "dishonorable"
• HBO!Robb: LOL HOUSE ARREST
•  ..
•  The worse part is that it's not even all there is.
•  ..
• Book!Cat: Defends herself during the attack on the way to the Vale and slits a man's throat.
• HBO!Cat: Cowers in a corner with her eyes closed.
• Book!Cat: Convinces Ser Robar Royce to defend Brienne, knocks out Ser Emmon Cuy with an iron brazier and sneaks out of Renly's camp with Brienne in stride.
• HBO!Cat: Shows less initiative than Brienne (the girl who just witnessed the death of the man she loved).
• Book!Cat: Accepts the full responsibility of her actions (releasing Jaime) and tells everyone she will willingly be punished for it.
• HBO!Cat: FORGIVE ME
•  wait, there's a few more (nights-watch)

• HBO!Cat: We will kill them all.
• Book!Cat: "My place is with my father. He can die at any time."
• HBO!Cat: -starting to regret travelling anywhere in the first place-
• Book!Cat: I dont care if you're sorry about Ned's death! That isn't going to bring him back! Stannis, Renly, put your cocks back into your breaches and help my son! He's only 15!
• HBO!Cat: omg thank you, i hope you avenge his death, but before i ask you to help my son, lemme berrade you like youre both 6 year olds, ultimately insulting your manliness.

[THE RISE OF STARK]
They stood, staring, together for the first time in what felt like centuries. Sansa remembered very clearly the last time she had seen Bran, a thousand years ago. He had been sleeping still, his fall fresh, and she hadn’t had the heart to kiss him goodbye. She’d squeezed his hand and whispered her love, then escaped before Arya could see her cry. But he was different now, colder. He was not the curious, excited little brother he had been, but a dark man, with heavy eyes and bad habits. A dark heart.

Rickon was strange as ever, but there was wisdom in his eyes. He looked through Sansa, through the steel exterior and into her lionheart. It made her shiver; every secret she had ever had was plunged by his gaze, every depth was fathomed. She might as well have confessed every sin to him, the way he looked at her. He was strong, and wise and wild. 

And Arya? She kept hands tightly to her sides, her face a mask of indifference, so much so that Sansa could have sworn she was as likely to kill them as to kiss them. The woman who stood before her - my sister, Sansa reminded herself - had a countenance that was darker than Bran’s, who was more of a curmudgeon than a villain, and the same wild nature as Rickon, but it ran deeper. She spoke with the voice of one who knew her own mind; moved in such a way that every action seemed premeditated. There was something in her step, in her presence, that set Sansa’s teeth on edge. The only other time she remembered feeling similarly was when she was alone with the Hound: Fear, but more than that: affection. Arya was her sister, but if Sansa was a lionheart, Bran a darkheart and Rickon a wildheart, it seemed Arya had no heart at all. There was no love in her eyes, no mirth in her smile and no gentleness in her touch. She simply was and was nothing.
