This is such a wonderful story - I've no idea how I hadn't discovered this earlier (and I thought I'd read all SanSan there is to read, huh). I see it's been quite the long time since the last update, so perhaps this is abandoned, but even if that is the case it was still a great read so far. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks you for picking up this story, ti is one of my favourites and I hated that it was unfinished. I like the uncertainty you maintain between Sansa and Sandor: as much as they love each other they know they are hampered by themselves and others and somehow cannot be together until so much else is rectified.
Good luck with more.

I'm so glad you are continuing this story! I remember loving the first chapter when I read it ages ago, and the second installment did not disappoint. I really liked Sandor's thoughts, particularly his memories of his time as a squire, and of course how you designed his fight with Gregor and how you tied it with Jaime/Cersei/Brienne. I loved that Brienne helped bring Gregor down.

I'm really looking forward to reading what happens next. Not sure what direction you'll take, but one thing I loved in Egleriel's story were the scenes of Sansa and Sandor in Clegane Keep. I found them really interesting (in a sense it's like an inversion of their dynamics in a possible future Winterfell scenario, as it's Sandor who is Lord of the Keep) and I'm surprised it's not a possibility that is explored more often in fics. Can't wait to see what you've got for us in store!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm beyond thrilled that you've taken up this story again! But shame on you for leaving us with this kind of a cliffhanger. I eagerly await the next chapter, my friend.

Loved it! Sweet and sad! Wish you'd continued!

Really liked this - please, continue!

I just found this and really like it. I've read "A Song of Steel" and it's one of my favs-I love San/San. I look forward to an update on this.

This is a good story and now I have to go and read Egleriel, a Song of Steel. I hope you continue with this story.

I just found your story and wanted to say thank you, I though it was wonderful and truly hope you write more, I'm new to this ship and am finding it hard to find good reading.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy I found your story. I'm just in love with Egregial's story "A Song of Steel" and was so deflated to see it's unfinished. I was dying for a proper end... To see if Sansa and Sandor could possibly marry and get the happily ever after they seemed so close to achieving.

I think you've captured much of the quality writing, description, and beautifully written characters of the original. Can't wait to read more.

This was very moving. Thank you for it!

Yaaay!

You do know there can NEVER be too much SanSan fan fiction in this world!

Keep it coming! :D

this is good.

You know the sole criticism i have of Egleriel's fic is the lack of sex.

great start! it works as a stand alone fic but i'll be sure to read the one that inspired it.

Thank you so much, everybody! I'm so grateful Egleriel let me play in her world, you have no idea. Will update ASAP, for sure. :)

silverswath: I was kind of hoping people would read the A/N first, just to avoid worries like that. But thanks!

Laura en eryn: I have approximately 6 chapters planned for my first arc (it may be 5 or 7 depending on how they divide up), and then I have another 2 written for the next arc, with some ideas of where I want to go after that. They're all pretty long chapters, mind...
