Also,I want to add that THERE ISN'T "quite a bit of variation in preganancy showing dates"!There is ONLY A SMALL,EVEN VERY SMALL BIT OF VARIATION and that is confirmed by ALL SOURCES AND DATA!Then,regarding what you said about John,if he were to shove his hands against Val's abdomen,HE WOULD DEFINITELY FEEL SOMETHING,if her pregnancy has three months because the baby would be already formed inside her body.

I don't know where you are getting your sources either,but BASICALLY ALL SOURCES agree that the pregnancy becomes noticeable from ITS FOURTH MONTH-NOT FIFTH!And I don't see how could it depend on "how you are counting"!So,if Val it's only in the third month of her pregnancy,then Jon wouldn't notice anything NOW,but in a month he WOULD DEFINITELY NOTICE IT,not to mention in two months,when her swollen belly WILL BE CLEARLY NOTICEABLE FOR EVERYONE!That's what I talked about:if "moons" mean "months",then YOU ARE WRONG in what you wrote about the pregnancy!If they're not meaning "months",but something smaller than a month,then we're talking about a different measure of time and what you wrote becomes plausible!

But I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND why do you think that this could ruin the story for me.And even if it did,I DON'T SEE why I shouldn't read a smut story!

borota, I don't know where exactly you're getting your sources, but there is quite a bit of variation in pregnancy showing dates. It depends on how you are counting, but it's pretty widely accepted that bumps might not become noticeable in a standing position until month 4-5 or so. If Jon were to shove his hands against Val's abdomen he might feel something now, but there's no reason for him to do that. And just to clarify, "some moons" might only be 1-2 months. To add to that, we don't even know officially how long a moon's turn is in ASOAIF, where seaons last for years and we don't know how many days define a year in the first place.

Anyway, hope that didn't ruin the story for you. If it did, why are you reading a smut story again?

IT IS WELL-KNOWN that a baby's body is formed and the pregnancy begins to be noticed starting with the fourth month of its duration!So,YOU ARE WRONG when you make Val telling John(in the first chapter) that he won't notice anytyhing about her belly "for some months".If she was pregnant for about three months,then IN A SINGLE MONTH from then,HER BELLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED!

The story was intended to be ADWD compliant, taking place circa 303AC (about 2 years after ADWD finishes). I haven't read the TWOW preview chapters, and this was written before S05 was released. I made notes on a lot of backstory to make sure things stayed consistent, but most of it will never get published.

No one from the South even heard about it because between Aegon & Dany's respective invasions and all of the ridiculous shit Cersei and Euron and the Faith were doing, the players of the game simply forgot about the North (except for Petyr, who knew better than to claim the North during winter). They just thought it was a very bad winter, and were glad that the Boltons and Freys were stuck holding those lands so they didn't have to. Extremely heavy winter snows and storms locked down most travel, and froze any ravens trying to reach the North. The story begins near the first thaws of spring, when roads and ravens start working again.

(Also, as best I can tell, there is no PM system built into this archive, or else I would have answered you in that manner).
