Summary: Sam is lacking options for saving the remainder of his brothers. A double drabble.

Sam watched the bleak vista, Jon disappearing into it, now nothing more than a tiny spec in the distance. All around him, the snow was stained black and red, littered with blood and ash, remnants of broken barrels of pitch. Only the bodies had been removed and burned. No one wanted the Wildling dead to come back and haunt their gates again.

He clutched Longclaw in his gloved hand, wondering if he'd ever see Jon again. Going off to treat with Mance Rayder was a good way to get himself killed.

It was true, Sam didn't have a plan, but Jon's had seemed madness. The Night's Watch couldn't withstand another attack tonight. They'd lost half their men in the first night of battle, most of those within the castle courtyard, cut down by two dozen Wildlings. Pip dying in his arms was something he'd never forget, and on his way back through the tunnel he'd be forced to see Grenn's broken body. Now his last friend had set off beyond the Wall to negotiate a peace with a man who wanted all or nothing. They'd break through the Night's Watch defences or die trying. Returning north was not an option.
