Religion in general seems highly twisted in a ASoIaF. You have R'hllor who thinks it's fine that his Azor Ahai drives a hot sword through his wife, the Drowned God who is supposed to drown you before you can be part of his pack, and while the Seven seemed pretty chill, along came the Faith Millitant and now they're torturing people. XD

Yeah, Sam/Jon deserved a long fic. Their whole bromance is a thing of beauty and who says otherwise is cleary blind. And yeah, I ship like a boss. ASoIaF is a strange fandom, though - there is so much brilliant long fic for completely random pairings, but I only ever found one long JaimexBrienne. Am I cursed to forever ship things that don't get much fic?

Well, not true - I still ship SanSan and Destiel, so I guess I have to settle and at least there's a lot of porn for RobbxTheon. XD
