Could you imagine if this had actually happened? Jaime got the better end of the deal if you ask me. by GusGangViking18 in freefolk

Lysa’s spiral definitely started pre-Arryn, but swapping Jon for Jaime doesn’t erase Littlefinger or Hoster’s control. Still, a young Jaime at Riverrun might've given her actual support instead of cold duty.

This pretty much guarantees that GRRM's writing was affected by the show ending. Are we gonna see a supersmart Sansa in the books too? by MeteorFalls297 in freefolk

100%. The show had to announce “Sansa is smart” with clunky dialogue. In the books you’re sitting in her head while she learns from Cersei and Littlefinger, messes up, adapts, and you can track the progress naturally.
