Aw. Hopefully Rhaellon is able to survive her injuries. I always felt a good part of what killed her was how hard she crashed. Hopefully her fate is different this time.

I've been following this story for the better part of a decade at this point and I really feel guilty for not having reviewed before this.
When I chanced across this fic, I think we were still waiting for season 8. Season 7 didn't exactly light the world on fire but I think we were all still excited for what was to come. Your story offered a gripping alternate reality that combined the best elements of the early season's political intrigue with the large scale fantasy that would come.
Now? Honestly I consider your story the canon version. For all intents and purposes, everyone in the show died in S8E3, and your story starts up again from there.
Really, really masterfully done to build this all up for so long. I've worked on a story of a similar scale in the past and didn't plan properly, the entire thing got away from me and I abandoned it. To keep up with this for as long as you have and to slowly move the pieces around without forcing it... Well, major major kudos.
Everything had a payoff, even the longest buildups. Always wondered why an OC, David, was put in such an important role, and we finally found out the truth about him a hundred chapters later. You didn't rush into introducing characters like Dany OR having Jon/Jaime tell people the truth.
Oh and I have to say Jaime is my favorite character from the show (pre the utter butchering of his character in the last 3 eps), so I'm very happy that you've given him such an important role.
As for where the story is currently at, well, I guess it's basically time to knock down all the dominos. I never expected their plan to go perfectly, because where's the fun in that? But I'm confident they'll pull it off, albeit with some extra drama in there.
You should be proud, my friend. Your Ninth Symphony is reaching its crescendo!

Enjoyed the story for the most part but feel like Winterfell falling to the Bolton’s like that was a bit of a leap.. and Jon and Jaime not just ending Petyr by contriving a situation (like he did in the Vale) doesn’t make any sense. They know he wants everything to burn, they literally talked about him causing so much chaos and they allow him to do so again? Like I said not a bad story but I can’t keep reading.
