Complete story — includes the ending

Tyrion, knowing the Crown is deeply in debt to the Iron Bank, persuades Olenna to pay for half of the royal wedding. Sansa tells Littlefinger she wants to remain in King's Landing, as she secretly hopes to marry Loras. Littlefinger uncovers the Tyrell–Varys plot to marry Sansa to Loras and informs Tywin. To circumvent this, he decides to marry Sansa to Tyrion and Cersei to Loras over both Lannisters' objections. Stannis confesses his infidelity to his fanatical wife, Selyse, who says she knows and approves. Their daughter, Princess Shireen, sneaks into the dungeon to visit Davos and teaches him to read. The Hound is released after killing Beric in the trial by combat. Thoros of Myr, a priest of R'hllor, resurrects Beric, using the Lord of Light's power. Gendry decides to join the Brotherhood, who intend to ransom Arya to Robb. After being delivered to Roose Bolton at Harrenhal, and having his stump treated by the disgraced former maester Qyburn, a delirious Jaime reveals to Brienne that he killed "Mad King" Aerys II Targaryen to prevent him from destroying King's Landing with wildfire. Robb executes Lord Karstark after the latter murders two captive Lannister boys. With the Karstarks abandoning him, a desperate Robb hopes to renew his alliance with Walder Frey. Ygritte seduces Jon, who breaks his Night's Watch vows. Daenerys encourages the Unsullied to choose a leader among them; they choose Grey Worm.
