Chapter 14 of A Hero for the Maiden
🕑 Added 2024-05-31 21:50:32 +0000 UTCI could have honestly dragged this chapter alone for 20k words. That's nearly four regular length chapters.
Decided against it in the end. It was already tough enough to write as it was.

White Harbor is on the same latitude as London irl (at least in my mind and in an attempt to make sense of the insanity that is GRRM's weather shenanigans). Wild blueberries grow naturally in the UK so they are also cultivated in the North. Lemons need Greenhouses, like in Winterfell, or a warmer climate

The lemons and blueberries would rot by the time they make it north. Closest blueberries are 1000 miles south. The Lemons are a Dornish and Reach export. That's a further 1500 to 2000 miles from the Riverlands.

Doesn't sound tasty tbh, lol. You can be sure there were many other cakes during the feast, but lemons are hard to come by. The only reason Sansa loves them is because they grew in the glass gardens

Is it too much to hope their wedding cake (Thank Poseidon, Percy didn't allow for the alternative) was a lemon blueberry cake? It's their favorite flavors combined. 😆
