AND NOW TO REPLYING TO YOUR ACTUAL COMMENT fuck yes I love the Ermine/Weasel/Slippery little bitch reference and the Beavers oh god it's all just way too good. And I DO prefer Westeros Betty already, she's just...I don't know, nobility really really suits her, the original series makes a Thing out of tying her down and keeping her under wraps but if you actually let that crazy come out of its shell you'd have something pretty goddamn beautiful. That letter you wrote in your drabble gives me chills <33
AAAAAA THIS DON AND PEGGY SCENE IS SO PERFECT I would be screaming some more if I wasn't at work I just picture that and this happy happy grin comes over my face. (Also you bet your ass there is going to be ALL the scar fetishing and all the Trudy/Pete and screaming self-involved tantrums and nursing him back to happiness anyway because she's just too good of a person).
Oh and of course why is Margaret so very angry with Pete. I think the implied battle in the scene that I wrote was the parallel to Littlefinger's betrayal of Ned; that Pete had for many years been on Don's side and in Don's corner and then suddenly he made the cut-throat decision to sell him out and grab himself a chunk of glory/money/land/dragons/respect/whatever-hot thing-Pete-wants-today-but-will-not enjoy-tomorrow-because-he-sold-Don-out-and-it's-going-to-haunt-him-for-life-even-without-the-scarring-and-torture.
Pete and Peggy probably worked closely as Don's protege's and allies (albiet in different ways, Pete's more the political King's Landing brand and Peggy's almost a better warrior than Don is) and had some extra-marital dalliances along the way, of course. (Hunting fantasies. GoT can have them too.) All Don knows is that when he took the little shit as his prisoner Peggy insisted that he leave his fate up to her.
AM I STARTING TO SOUND CRAZY YET WAIT THAT WAS A WHILE AGO WASN'T IT
