You Feel Like Home - Jonerys Secret Santa Gift for @zavocado
“"If you don't mind me saying so, Lieutenant," Rhaegar inquired, "your boy seems a bit large for a K9 unit." Jon chuckled before he replied. "Well, good because he isn't, Sir."
"So you and Ghost are medics?" "We're rescue swimmers, Sir." "Ah, now that I can see his size being a perfect fit for." The Crown Prince grinned. "Indeed, Sir. He's built for it in fact," Jon answered with a proud smile. "Speaking of which, we were keeping an eye on the small rowboat out on the water. Still doesn't seem to be getting closer to shore despite the weather worsening."

“She knew something was wrong. Jon's voice was no longer singing in her head. He'd been hanging out with Ghost, singing 'row row row your boat' mixed in with some silliness about 'Ghost being the goodest boy with the biggest footsies and softest belly'. Then there'd been a break and soon after he'd been in the water. Jon always chanted the same line to himself whenever he was on his way to rescue anyone. She'd never explicitly told him she'd learned to recognise the pattern. Daenerys also knew Jon would sing to comfort the victims; usually silly songs to distract them from the danger and pain. Today though, the singing had stopped abruptly - and hadn't returned.“

Ho ho ho, ’tis I, your Secret Santa. I hope you’ve had some joyous holidays with your loved ones. Many apologies for the delay on your gift.
This has been a difficult month for me for several reasons, but having you as my giftee has been one of the highlights. Admittedly I’ve been really nervous about writing for you. Ok nervous is an understatement; at one point I might’ve had a minor meltdown until I realised the likelihood of you expecting perfection was probably near zero. Here’s to hoping that’s true.
You gave me free hands to write whatever fic I felt like writing and when I suggested a Soulmate AU your response was positively pure childish excitement. A good friend of mine told me very recently that I come up with some of the weirdest ideas in town which of course I took as a compliment, and having been given free hands by you I took my crazy idea and ran with it. There was really only one thing you specifically requested which was Dany and Jon having their mothers. So of course our favourite beans have their mamas <3
If it matters, the fic is un-beta’ed and written in a language which isn’t my mother-tongue. In other words, I’ll proudly own up to all grammatical and spelling errors, typos and weirdly phrased sentences - as well as any and all plot-holes :)
