Go To

My Sister's Words is an A Song of Ice and Fire fanfic that looks at Catelyn Stark (née Tully)'s life through the eyes of her brother Edmure.


Tropes that appear in this fanfic:

  • A Day in the Limelight: More like a whole life in the limelight for Edmure.
  • Berserk Button: Jon Snow is one for Edmure because he sees Jon’s presence as a dishonor to Catelyn. Edmure doesn't even refer to Jon by name.
  • Dead Guy Junior: Edmure names his first daughter Minisa for his mother, his son Hoster for his father, and his younger daughter Catelyn for his sister.
  • Driven to Suicide: When the Twins are burned down, Lady Stoneheart walks into the flames and doesn’t come out.
  • Fantastic Racism: Edmure has a marked dislike for Northerners. Petyr had told him that the North was full of tree-hugging, cannibalistic savages who also practice Human Sacrifice.
  • Kill It with Fire: The Twins are put to the torch.
  • Parental Substitute: Catelyn acts as a surrogate mother to Edmure. It reaches the point that Edmure barely remembers his mother and only remembers Catelyn.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Edmure gives one to Ned.
    "You do not deserve her! You dishonor my sister with your bastard. My lord father offers him a better chance for the whelp than he'll ever find elsewhere, and you refuse so that you can continue to flaunt him in Cat's face! You do not deserve her!"
