a_deadmanWHO: Ned Stark
OPEN TO: Everyone
WHERE: Winterfell
NOTES: For the sake of having to figure out why Ned came back to life, let's just say he never died but had been held prisoner in the Red Keep for his "treason" for a length of time. Canon point can be whenever you like! I'll work with it.
Ned knows he should have died a long time ago and spent the greater portion of his time locked in a cell thinking about why he wasn't, though it was obvious leverage against his family was the main reason. Still, he had no idea whether his family knew he was alive or if they believed him to be dead. The thought of being reunited with them was a dream that joined the many others that haunted him even in the waking hours. No, if the Lannister's weren't going to kill him, disease or sickness would come to claim him.
As fortune would have it, however, the Old God's had reason to keep Eddard Stark alive and now he was back at Winterfell, staring out into the distance from a window high up in the room he once shared with his wife, thinking about everything he had missed both in Westeros that his sons and daughters had to endure without him. There was so much that they still hadn't told them and plenty Ned had that he had intentions of telling them, but never was given the time.
He still looks as if he spent a lot of time in a dark cell, he's lost a fair bit of weight and his face is gaunt, but Ned refuses to accept anyone fussing over him. None of the Starks do.
So, in the weeks following his return, Ned slowly gets back to doing what he did before Robert and Cersei came to visit Winterfell, when his children were all still so young and before all their lives changed drastically forever.
