Summary
Stannis stared down at the letter in her hands. She had known, of course, that Ned might die in battle. She had tried to put the thought from her mind. She was a woman, and women did not go to war. Even if war had once visited them. Even if they were more than able to sail a ship, and wanted to help.
But the child in her belly—boy or girl, what if it did live? And what would happen to Stannis then? If Ned did not return, and the child was a girl—
Stannis jerked her head, cutting off the thought. The child must be a boy. No, Ned must return to her.
But when had she ever been that lucky? Had wishing for an outcome ever worked?
If Ned did not return, and the child was a girl, Stannis would have to go to another place, to become someone else, to endure the attentions of another man until she fulfilled her duty to bear him children or her strength gave out. And that man might be cruel or an imbecile; Robert wouldn’t even blink.
And if the child was a boy, but Ned himself was lost—well, Stannis knew what it was to be someone’s regent. She would guard the North well in her son’s name. But the thought of it was bitter, none of the pride she might once have felt at being sole ruler of Winterfell.

Summary
“I wonder if this is how Rhaegar felt."
"Your grace?" Jon questioned, frowning.
"Leaving the Red Keep… To stamp out a rebellion."
"My love." The queen's voice was sweet and soft even in her chiding. "You are not Rhaegar."
And we are not facing Robert Baratheon, his sister's eyes seemed to say.
Joff smiled. "You're right, of course." He raised a hand and stroked the cheek of the babe their love had made. "I plan to come home."
He gave Sansa a married man's kiss, and they rode out shortly afterward.
The king, armoured in gold. His Kingsguard, all in enamelled white scale. The armies that had gathered beneath the golden stag banner.
They rode to war again.
……………………..Or Joffrey is the Perfect Prince Sansa was promised.

In practice, Administration might be just a little too attached to her host. She can't help it if her host is the best and she wanted everyone to know it. Really, what's the worst that could happen?

Surely this plan has absolutely no problems.
