When Sansa builds the castle in the Vale.
Every time I read that I start to cry!
The bleakness of Arya's final chapters in ASoS gets to me as well.

Several moments that touched me and I always find difficult to reread: Lady's death at the hands of Ned; Catelyn's return to Riverrun and seeing Ned's bones; the Red Wedding (the death of Robb's retainers, especially Dacey Mormont), the death of Rhaenys at the hands of Amory Lorch.

Awesome thread. Everyone has touched on soo many great moments. Theon's bleak honesty in wishing he died with Robb. Arya and her outpour of emotion when killing the Tickler, And Oberyn's bittersweet end all stand out to me.

Too many.

Everytime the Stark kids think of each other, especially Jon and Arya.

When Bran/Summer saved Jon from the wildlings in ASOS, they were so close and Jon never knew :frown5:

Jory's death :bawl:

When Jon says good bye to Ghost before climbing the Wall, i was so afraid they would never be together again.

Davos writing to his wife and children when he thought he was gonna die. Davos thinking about his four  dead sons :frown5:

Robb being killed in front of Catelyn, Grey wind's head and all the fucking RW :frown5:

Theon, Theon, and a lot of Theon/Reek.

To everyone for your great posts!

I just got up and read the additions so far, and I am so sorry, I still don't have any "Like This" marks!  Damn those songs and poems for the Red Wedding!

Keep going guys, I think we've only touched the surface.  :cheers:

Just reading this thread made me tear up :(

- when Jon goes to say bye to Bran and he is actually scared of Catelyn but he goes in anyway and kisses bran goodbye. When Catelyn calls him back and he still has enough hope to be cut when she says it should have been him. Gives a really sad insight into how cold she must have always been to him.

- when Jon says goodbye to both Arya and Robb.

- Jon asking Tyrion to help Bran, Tyrion keeping his word.

- When the wolves attack Tyrion and he wets himself.

- When all the dead Starks died, and their wolves.

- The story about the Unsullied slave who said prostitutes to hold him.

- when the dragons are locked away and Viserion trys to fly to Dany and the chains make him fall.

- when Bran wargs into Hodor and he goes inside himself and hides

- when we hear the story about how when Hodor was a young teenager and was cornered by much smaller boys but he just cried and wouldn't fight back.

- podrick being lost without Tyrion

- bronn naming lolly's baby Tyrion

- the big black brother carrying Sam and wanting a raven like Mormonts

loads more but hard to recall them when you aren't reading them presently.

Too many to mention really, but one that I really liked was when Arya kills Daeron (the singer from the NW who left for Braavos with Sam). The actual act of a murder might not be the most heart-warming thing but when I read that I kept thinking "The North remembers, Arya remembers, and the values of Eddard Stark still lives"

Jamies return to kingslanding and basically eveything that happens to him while he is there.

Ned stuck in the dungeons thinking about his family.

Theon not feeling welcome at Pyke.

Davos learning to write and read.

"Thank you, brother. I owe you my life."

I loved that scene. Everything that had gone "right" for Tyrion in GoT goes horribly, horribly wrong... but in the end, his brother saved him.

For all the good it did...
