So yesterday I promised a meta on undercover Jon, and why it’s true. Many people believe Jon is going undercover and is actually in love with his sister, but they’re all wrong. Jon is in love with SAM. Here’s why Jon is in love with Sam and undercover Jon is real.
1. When Jon first meets Sam, he recognizes his weaknesses and goes out of his way to protect Sam from Rast, Thorne, and everyone else. He even sneaks into Rasts’ chambers and threatens to kill him. Now we all know that when Jon Snow is protective of someone, he wants to fuck and marry them. Side note, Jon wants to fuck and marry a lot of people such as Robb (who he tried to break his vows for), Bran (who he asked about repeatedly and jumped for joy like a weirdo for), Arya (who he died for), and Rickon (who he jeopardized a battle for. Jon truly embraces his Targaryen heritage by wanting to marry multiple people, including his siblings, I guess.
2. Jon and Sam bond during their guard duty. The next day while cleaning, Jon shares his true feelings and a personal moment with same when he tells him the story about Jon not wanting to father a bastard, because it’s not a good life for a child. Though Jon is feeling sad, Sam is able to cheer him up and make him laugh. Another side note, Sam has made Jon smile/laugh more than any person not named Arya Stark.
3. Sam cares about Jon so much, he swore a vow with him, it was basically a marriage.  It’s also Sam who becomes brave and goes after Jon when Jon is trying to desert, and  brings Jon back.
4. In season two when Sam wants to help Gilly and introduces her to Jon, Jon says no because he is clearly jealous of Gilly and thinks she can take Sam away from him. I mean look at his face. (Gif credit to @kitsn0w I believe)
5. Jon and Sam are separated when Jon is taken prisoner and they constantly think about each other. Jon doesn’t want ti have sex with Ygritte because he doesn’t want to break his vows or be unfaithful to Sam. When Jon makes it back to castle black, Sam is the first person to rush out to go help Jon.
6. During the Battle for Castle Black, Jon is the first person Sam turns to for help Jon wants to keep Sam safe, and instead of making him go to the front lines, he sends Sam to go get Ghost.
7. But at the Same time “A warrior princess, he decided, not some willowy creature who sits up in a tower, brushing her hair, and waiting for some knight to come rescue her.”
8.  After the first day of the battle is done, Jon wants to go try to kill Mance because they have no chance of winning otherwise, knowing he’ll die. Sam shows concern and tries to keep him from doing so.
9. Sam is the one who suggests Jon be the next Lord Commander because he believes in him and loves him.
10. When Jon decides to go to Hardhome, Sam is worried about him. He gives Jon a parting gift to keep him safe. LOOK AT HIS FACE WHEN JON LEAVES.
11. Jon comes back from Hardhome and finds out that Sam wants to leave to Oldtown to become a Maester. Jon originally says no, but then he finds out Sam had sex with Gilly. Jon is so heartbroken that he decides to let Sam leave, he can’t stand to see the two of them every day knowing what happened. Look at the sexual tension in their goodbye, even Gilly Notices.
12. Jon misses Sam so much he went out and got himself killed.
13. Jon realizes he fucked up and wants his Samwell back, he’s now ready to fight for him. He then brings himself back to life. When Edd asks him where he’s going to go, Jon says “south”, guess who else is south? That’s right. Samwell Tarly.
14. Now here is where this ties into season 7. Sam contacts Jon and tells him that there’s a mountain of dragonglass. Jon remembered that Sam loves dragonglass, so he instantly decided to go to Dragonstone to get the dragonglass so he can give it to Sam as a gift and win him back. The only reason Jon is pretending to be in love with Daenerys (that evil psycho who saves and cares about people, she’s literally the worst) is so he can have unlimited access to dragonglass, which he can keep giving to Sam.
15. Fun fact, many people believe Jon said “yeah” during boatsex, I’ve actually uncovered hidden clues and Jon doesn’t say “yeah”, he says “Sam”.
16. Sam is tired of Gilly and goes to Winterfell to reunite with is soulmate, Jon.
So there you have it. Jon is in love with Sam and he went undercover with the ultimate goal of winning Sam back, his one true love. Sam is still in love with Jon as well. It’s clearly evident when he talks to Bran. Now all they need is a kiss on the forehead and they’re basically married.
