”He had always wanted it, but not like this. Never like this. He had always wanted it, but not like this. The hunger in his chest had become a hole so big that Seven Kingdoms and a whole world besides could not fill it. Florian and fair Jonquil. Aemon Dragonknight and queen Naerys. Jenny and her prince of dragonflies. They were all just that, stories. Tales. No, her soft voice resounded in his ears, all stories can’t be lies.“ — Tale of a black knight and his fair lady wolf

For reference, Rhaegar and Lyanna and Elia survive as well as the children, Robert dies but even though Elia dies before Rhaegar he never marries Lyanna afraid to try the dornish pride once again. Jon is raised in Kings Landing with his half brother and sister.

When lord Ned Stark dies, Aegon — freshly crowned king just a couple of years past — sends Jon as envoy North to ensure the new lord of Winterfell is as disinclined as his father to break from the Iron throne and to find him a Stark wife to make queen.

Jon has no choice but to obey.

Forbidden Jonsa, political intrigue, betrayal, war, backstabbing, plotting and no enemy to the North — no Others, no NK — just political and passion intrigue wrapped all together with older and darker Jonsa.

Go read it and let me know what you think of it! I think I will post it solo, and let it run free but I wanna hear your opinion about it.

I’ll Pack My Goods for the Arkansas Woods / Lagardere

“You know what they say.” And she might have been less harsh with him if this had been any other time, rather than the endpoint of her shameful flight from her aunt’s house, with the bags still cluttered in the back of her car parked out front of his house. “Targaryens, they got the devil in them.”

She just has to close her eyes to hear it again, that rumble against the shell of her ear as his knee pushes her legs apart.

“How’s this then? Targaryen enough for you?”

When Sansa’s brother goes missing, it falls to her to defend the house and the woods against the greed of the Boltons and Freys. All of this would be much easier if she could fight fire with fire, and there’s a saying in the valley: that all the Starks are a little wild, and all the Targaryens a little mad. Her cousin Jon just happens to be both.

Reasons you should read this now:

Dark!jon as a concept is something I feel like I should really like, but never seem to in practice: far too many Darkjon fics aren’t interested in exploring the real darkness that lurks in both his show and book incarnation, and instead turn him into a sexy hyper violent semi-rapist that calls Sansa babygirl and is completely disconnected from his canon personality.

Which is why I appreciate I'll Pack My Goods for the Arkansas Woods for intelligently exploring Jon’s dark side. It hits a nice balance: it gives Jon a real edge, but one that makes sense for the setting and his character. He’s dangerous without being a dick, and that’s such a more interesting than the way he’s normally written.

There’s also a bunch of other great things things about this fic: Sansa’s determination and weariness, the eerily good fit that rural Appalachia makes for a lot of the characters, the chill and desolate atmosphere. I haven’t finished the whole fic, but I honestly can’t wait to get back to it.

It’s present day, Westeros (imagine: present day UK-ish but nicer) is under a Monarchy where present Jon is heir to the throne (The Targaryen Dynasty).

Sansa is the daughter of the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Scotland (in my head: Scotland is still under UK but the old, the Scottish royal family get to keep their “titles” & land but hold no true power or are not in line for the British Throne. The Starks are the Royal Scottish Family and hold all of Scotland) Their relationship with the Targs are courteous but strained, as the Starks are descendents of the First Men who dwelled on the Land, while the Targaryens are a family of foreigners who conquered the Land (and are also inbreeders. imagine: current house of Windsor formerly house of Saxe Coburg and Gotha - a predominantly German family who’s cousins married each other so on and so forth).

Jon and Sansa meet and fall in love - here’s the twist: They also start to remember their past lives (a gift and a curse given to chosen ones who descend from the First Men. Jon’s mother is still Lyanna of the North / Scotland - but is not Ned’s sister...she is instead, a beloved cousin from a smaller branch of the Stark family - still a Stark, but the only woman Stark at the time for Rhaegar marry so as to reduce conflict with Scotland. Jon and Sansa start remembering Old Westeros where Sansa ruled as QITN, Jon killed Dany and became King, and fought everyone so he could marry his true love: Sansa. Sansa becomes Queen of Six Kingdoms - a sacrifice she makes for her love. Bran & Arya rule the North.

Their current life will be somewhat a mirror of their past life: Jon struggling with the inner wreckage of his family (inbreeding has made his family weak in constitution & in mind, his half brother Aegon died early of hemophilia & half sister unhappily married to a German cousin, a Grand Duke of an abolished monarchy but still a powerful man. Jon is half Stark, so he is not addled by the same sickness. He is the only hope of the Monarchy). Sansa still a wonderful politician (she is her father’s best adviser). The Starks and Targs don’t have the best relationship, but the Starks value family and the betterment of Scotland above all so they don’t openly cause any uproar against the Targs to prevent war - but it is common knowledge that they don’t like them conquerers.

Sansa while she falls in love with Jon (and she remembers their past life, their “Golden Age” of reign as King and Queen of Westeros 500 or so years before, their love story that sparked books and plays and legend) is reluctant to be under the pressure of a throne, surrounded by Jon’s poisonous and unhealthy family. Jon tries his best to win her over, because he knows Sansa is his past , present and future, and as such she is the hope of the Monarchy’s future - their children would be the best rulers, and the future of house Targaryen will finally be free of too close inbreeding, incest, madness and corruption. If Jon & Sansa don’t become King & Queen in the future, the people will finally revolt.

The Press will comment on how much present Jonsa looked like the legendary Rulers King Jon Aegon the Reluctant, the Good King, The Dragonwolf and Good Queen Sansa, The Red Wolf, The Most Beloved. The press and the public go crazy over present Jonsa (imagine: obsession with Will&Kate / Harry&Meghan) and while this improves the Monarchy’s standing with the public, in private this causes a lot of tension, as Sansa does not see any advantage of becoming a queen to a stolen, broken-down throne, as much as she loves Jon. Plus The Targs hate that a Stark is gaining much popularity and support.

LOL i have so much time on my hands, but alas i lack the skill to write a fanfic of this magnitude. If anybody would love to take this idea and do their spin on it, PLEASE GO AHEAD. I am living for Monarchy & Fanfics ... and of course, JONSA.

Edit 1: Jalabhar Xho

It was wrong , it was presumptuous of her to think she had any right to his secrets, to think she could go around singing about quests, heroes and fair ladies when nothing of that was true. Besides, from her high pedestal she liked to be liked , maybe even needed. No one was good and kind just for being good and kind. CALLUS — JON

Eheheh, are you ready? Some more darkJon for you all!
