Thanks you for the feedback, I'm really glad you liked it! Yeah, my own "ideal" story length is a bit less, too, perhaps something like 10K words. But for this one, I wanted to stay true to the canon and write within the restrictions of the original (amount and placement of bolts matching the image, how these characters could behave, etc.), so ultimately I decided to let the events unfold at a realistic pace.

Actually, I recently found the very first draft of this from 2013, and Joffrey pulling out the crossbow happened at the 800 words mark there (it's at 2800 here). But that old unfinished version is honestly terrible in every other regard.

Yeah, dogs are probably bound to make an appearance in one way or another, if it's something involving Ramsay or Myranda.
