Rose Fangs and Wolf Thorns is a Game of Thrones story by OUATlovr, focused on the pairing of Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell. It is known for it's characterization, being very, very slow burn, and it's prodigious length.

Summary

"'Valar morgulis,' they say," Margaery murmured. "But we are not men, my Sansa. And we are survivors."

Margaery marries Joffrey, and becomes Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Sansa remains.

Series

The author continued the story in a series of the same name, which includes one companion piece and a sequel that is still a WIP:

Reactions and Reviews

This bad boy is the quintessential Sansaery fic. It’s long, it’s emotional, and it’s the slowest burn ever. In other words, it’s brilliance.[1]

On my AO3 bookmarks I’ve tagged this ambitious lesbians, and that’s pretty much it. The author takes Sansa, Margaery, and every other ASOIAF they write and explores every aspect of their characters, breaks them down and makes them expose their barest bones and hardest truths. Lots of crying came with reading this fic and it is one of my all time favorites.[2]

My favorite Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell fic is Rose Thorns and Wolf Fangs by OUATLovr. It's an A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones fic where the author takes certain bits from the show and the books. It's a bit long at 1.4 million words with a 900k sequel that's still being written. I'm only about around 400k into the first book, but it's 1000x better then the actual canon material imo.[3]

I will always be a sucker for Sansaery, especially imagining what could have happened between them if not for the Sept’s explosion and Sansa being rescued from King’s Landing. (There’s a fanfic called Rose Fangs and Wolf Thorns by OUATLovr about it that I highly recommend! It’s 514 chapters of pure, incredible quality)[4]

Rose Fangs and Wolf Thorns on Ao3 diverges at the Purple Wedding, with Joff not dying.... and is really well characterised.[5]

probably the best ever sansaery fic[6]

When you read a 1.4 mil word fic called rose fangs and wolf thorns you do not come out the same.[7]

it's one of the best fanfic i have ever read for them. however it's literally so long it's around 1.4 million words lmao. it's amazing[8]
