My favourite Jonsa AU’s (that are niche and no one actually asked for.)
1. Arranged marriage/marriage of convenience. Bonus points if it’s slow burn. I cant decide if I prefer a Rhaegar wins au (because of the masterpiece that is ‘from instep to heel’ by Orangeflavour) or show-canon S7/8 au where either of them propose a marriage of convenience and slow burn where the line between duty and love blur but actually they’ve been secretly tormented the entire time by their passion for each other without the other knowing until it all culminates into a lengthy confession scene and ensuing smut (basically what should have happened in the show…..smh).
2. Forbidden/illicit relationship pre-parentage reveal (the secret angst is too much for my poor heart to handle.) bonus points if it’s Sansa reuniting with a darker post resurrection Jon at the Wall and Jon is insanely protective over her.
3. Any Jon in King’s Landing au (bonus points if he rescues her and travelling closeness ensues!)
4. Post-Canon QITN / Lord Commander of NW au. Oh gods , this one kills me . (Bonus points if it’s written by thimbleful).
5. Alayne Stone/Lord Commander au (bonus points if Jon actually knows it’s Sansa the entire time, ‘I was born knowing you’ but she doesn’t know HE knows (or perhaps she does and she’s playing along ;).
Please tell me your favourites AU’s fellow Jonsas !!!
Jon Snow arrives at the place of his mother’s birth in the company of dragons, riding alongside Daenerys, the conqueror. Regardless of the role Sansa will have to play in the alliance formed to protect the North and Westeros from the looming threat beyond the Wall, she is determined to hate him.

Can anyone reccommend any good Jonsa vids that don't really feature/reference the R*msay s5 storyline, please? Or at least keep it to a minimum? But crucially, I just find the wedding and aftermath etc. very upsetting, and it's why I'll never write show canon!
I'm just trying to reimmerse myself in the Jonsa mindset atm because... I've suddenly had a burst of writing inspiration! I was really struggling with the starting point scene of chapter 3 of My Maid of Stone, the scene that, in my writing process, everything else unfolds from... but... I think I've finally found it. So thank you for the lovely response to my last post — I think it contributed!
Anyway, though I'd like to branch out, my go-to Jonsa vids are:

So if anyone has any good recs, I'd love to hear them!
A/N - Not gonna lie yall, I’m more productive with this story on Wattpad 😭😭 I think I might stick with posting on there instead. The chapters I’ve posted here have been slightly changed there too. I’ll put the link of it below.
Rhaella is the daughter of Mad King Aerys’ younger brother. Before the rebellion of Robert Baratheon, he fled to the Summer Isles, where he fell in love with a woman. He married her and they both consummated their marriage. Rhaella doesn’t know much about her parents, and always struggled with having a true home. One fateful day, her cousin Viserys sent her away to the Starks. Little did he know, that was the start of her journey of self-discovery.
Bran is the fourth child of Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully. All he ever wanted was to become a knight. He always thought one day he would join the kingsguard. That was until the day he found out he was betrothed to Rhaella. He didn’t think much of it, still able to be a warrior…until the day he became broken. All he wants is to find a purpose now in his life.

sooo i was scrolling through my docs and came across an almost finished wip of Wolves They Both Must Be part two that i wrote over a year and a half ago that i kinda sorta forgot about. i know i'm more active in my other fandom for the time being, but would anyone even be interested in reading a sequel to that one shot?
Sansa was determined to convince her aunt to let Arya debut, which is how she finds herself in her current predicament.
“Who is this secret gentleman who has asked for your hand?” Aunt Lysa asks, and Sansa knows from her tone that she does not believe. (She has every right not to believe, for it is not true.)
And then Sansa does something very, very foolish.
She says a name.
“The Duke of Dragonstone!”
Or, Sansa fakes an engagement so that Arya can debut and marry the man she loves. The only problem? Her fake fiance just so happens to be in the city when he was not supposed to be.
This is so Jon confessing his love for Sansa after the parentage reveal. Feral Jon absolutely tormented by love and melancholy (but predominately love but oh my god, it makes him WEEP) matter of fact they’re both weeping . And Sansa’s head is this conflicted mess because she has indeed harboured repressed feelings for him , and she wants to be loved . So desperately , without possession. But how is that possible?? I swore no one would ever marry me for love. But oh someone does . I am his most tempered devotion, his softest spot, the thing he’s loved in the dark. Gods save me. Gods help me.
It's not like he's opposed to the institution, it's just...
Jon sighs, and signals at a waiter to come refill his glass. He'd ordered a whiskey for himself, and a glass of red for his date, who is now verging on fifteen minutes late. Her bio – because apparently these families send out resumes for their eligible daughters – said she likes red wine. He doesn't remember much else, he'd barely skimmed it. He hadn't even looked at the picture.

Ch 19/20: Execute IV
Jon/Sansa
enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, unrequited love, Jon is raised in Essos with Daenerys
Dreams came to her strangely, scored by the burgeoning clash and clammer of rolling thunderclaps.
At the top of a mountain she stood, swaddled in cloud, the summit blanketed with snow. Looking out, searching, it was hard to make out at first where the land ended and the sky began, except where black rocks jagged through the pearled and lustrous whiteness, an immense stretch of hummocked snow, reaching out towards the horizon. Or was it a sea? The high hills gleamed just as saltwater washes rock. And there, far off, another peak rising, lifted from the smother like a small island.
I have walked out of my body and into the mountain…
She felt the whole of it on her skin in that moment; the tremulous winter sun, the wind running through the inside of her nightgown, and then the water, closing in and over as she slipped under—the catch in her breath like a wave held back, running to the very ends of her body as the spent wave ran out upon the pebbled shore. A plunge into the cold water of a mountain pool that seemed for a brief instant to disintegrate the very self: lost, stricken, conquered. Before the life pours back in.
It was as she breached the surface that she saw him, emerging from between slender birches, that figure, that figure from before, standing dark on rising ground. And though his lips did not move, she knew it was his voice calling out her name, like a knock on the door, like a sudden sounding from within. As the red comet burned, as the ghost wolf howled. Sansa. Sansa. Sansa.

"Hello? Is anyone home?"
Jon looks up from where he's been sulking in the dark to see one of the Stark girls — the redheaded daughter — standing outside the front door to the guest house. She'd knocked once already, but Jon had ignored it, thinking whoever it was would just go away. Now, he can see she's still out there, silhouette illuminated at the top of the stairs. The porch light catches copper highlights in her hair and makes them glow.
He wonders if she's annoyed she has to knock instead of just letting herself in. Maybe she used to spend a lot of time in the apartment over the Starks' detached garage. Or maybe she never came out here. Maybe her bedroom in that fancy old house is already so big and private she never bothers to explore anywhere else.
"Hello?" she calls again. "Mrs. Snow?"
When Jon finally answers the door, flicking on the living room light as he goes, he sees that the girl — Sansa, he thinks — hasn't come empty-handed. In her arms is a ceramic dish full of some sort of baked good, little tarts or custards with cooked lemon slices on top.
Coming back from the dead is the kind of thing that can really fuck up your weekend, as Jon has recently found out (especially considering that he’d paid a mint for those concert tickets, thanks).
On one hand, the bureau paperwork is horrifying, and the less said about his skyrocketing health insurance premiums or this year's taxes, the better. On the other hand, though, Sansa Stark, the pretty head of the medical/pathology research division and long-time object of Jon's affections, has insisted on giving him her utmost attention until she’s sure he’s back on his feet and fully among the living.

summary
He recalled Bolton’s words just as he recalled what his mother taught him long ago: the day you tell your name to fair folk is the day you lose your freedom, perhaps forever.
Jon Snow saves a fae girl from certain death and discovers on their journey to return her home that perhaps the price of his name is worth more than just a life that is safe from the whims of fair folk.
