"First, there’s an escaped lunatic on the loose. And now we’re out of gas in the middle of nowhere. I know it’s Halloween, but seriously, how cliché can you get?”

Jon and Sansa have been broken up for a year. A chance drunk dial brings them back together on Halloween night. But then a series of unfortunate events brings them face to face with their worst nightmares. Can they face their fears head on, or will they be too afraid?

Thank you for the ask! I’m not good at complimenting myself, but here goes:

1) I’m a bunch of “recessive” genes that decided to be phenotypes, a unicorn if you will (red hair, blue eyes, even my blood type: o neg). A rebel from the start. Not really, they’re actually dominant in my fam. Even one of my cats is a ginger. My husband jokes he’s outnumbered.

2) I’m very kind, and compassionate. I love helping people.

3) I’m proud of myself for getting through nursing school, licensing, and certifications since then. I tend to focus on what I haven’t accomplished, instead of what I have. I need to remind myself.

4) Jack told me once that he’s really glad I’m his aunt, and that has just stuck with me. I love what I’ve done for that kid, and I love him. I love taking care of my kiddos, and seeing them grow.

I agree nonny! 

Everyone go give Brad some love on his fic inspired by his real-life love story!! (Link)

I sang this song (which was released today almost a quarter-century ago, per the random factoid I saw on the internet today) atop many a table/chair/couch in college and also name checked it in my Grosse Pointe Blank-inspired jonsa fic: Easy Target.

His head told him he was a fool.

But in Jon's heart, everything was perfect. Sansa was his own personal ray of sunshine. She had bewitched him with her words, making him fall in love with rusty black ink on yellowed paper. He found her there in the delicate loops of her cursive. She was there in the dots of the I's and the crosses of the T's. Every time he reread her letters, he discovered something new to cherish. 

Maybe he was a fool, after all.

A fool in love...

This absolutely stunning work of art by the inimitable @chocolateghost is more than a breezy spring read—it is a forever favourite of mine. Paper, ink, a teeny, tiny bit of magic; it will enchant, spellbind, and delight you in equal measure.

For @chocolateghost​. Another morsel of this story (not the whole thing yet) because I had Tangled Up In Blue on repeat today and this was the result.

Modern AU in which Jon in a struggling singer/songwriter who meets Sansa when she is still married but has realized her marriage is over. They share one intense memorable night, then a few years later, he is a successful recording artist who is always getting asked about the girl his most famous song is about. Inspired by some of the many, many lyrics of Bob Dylan’s Tangled Up In Blue. Is this an AU in which Jon Snow wrote one of the best songs of all time? Yes, yes it is. 

Read the original drabble

“So Jon, I know you hate talking about this, and I can see your manager over there shooting daggers at me, but I have to ask about the song. The fans will storm the studio if I don’t ask about the song, so I gotta ask about the song.”

Jon chuckled. Looking over at Gilly, standing on the other side of the glass that separated the green room from the recording studio, she was merely rolling her eyes. They were both used to this song and dance. 

"Actually, I shouldn’t even say song,” the radio host continued. “Because what we really want to know—what the fans really what to know is about the girl. You know there is an actual fansite called ‘Find Tangled Up in Blue?’ ”

Jon laughed. “Yes, I’m familiar with it.”

Thank you, Brad! Needed this today! Right back at you!
