Totally hypothetical. If i went into hotgw and brought robb back (you cannot say impossible) and put him in front of reader and jon snow (again please humor me) do you think reader would take him back? Or did death do them part

OKAY I HAVE AN INTERESTING ANSWER TO THAT. So, going by the current timeline, Jon and the Reader are at the same stage Robb and the Reader were when they died.

Only a few short years into being married (3 for Robb and you closing in on 1 year in a few months for Jon and you). And you are five months pregnant with his child. The same scenario when Robb watched you and his unborn son get butchered before his eyes.

Robb also loves Jon and never wanted to take happiness away from him and Jon never wanted to just replace and erase Robb from your life. But things are no longer simple. (I mean emotionally wise, I'm ignoring the question of so whose actually King in the North now because the logistics of that are more complicated then the average scheme by Littlefinger).

Because this is a tidbit hidden in both the nsfw alphabet one shot and the side story Scattered Memories of the Starks. But Robb at the very least, knew that by the time the main series started, Jon was into you in some way. He knew for a fact it was sexual, but he was unsure as to if it also was romantic and to what degree. Now he had no idea it was a relationship, and he assumed you did not have a clue about any of this, but Robb was fully aware to some degree Jon had developed some form of intimate feelings for you.

So him coming back, and seeing you and Jon married and pregnant wouldnt actually surprise him that much. He would understand Jon's side completely and he would understand that it was likely not easy for you to move on. So he wouldnt blame either party and wouldn't want you or Jon feeling guilty.

But Robb loves you still and you're his wife, even if just in the previous life you shared but in his heart you never stopped being his wife. But now you're also Jon's wife. And you are pregnant with Jon's child at the same stage you were with Robbs child.

At that point, I don't think it has anything to do with your choice. Robb and Jon both know youd be too confused and guilty and upset to be rationale to make a decision on your own about it.

It would really come down to a very long night between Robb and Jon and probably a decent amount of ale as they try to talk about what going to happen. They need to both be on the same page because both love you and neither want to hurt the other nor you by making you choose.

Though I will say, there is a bit of a hiccup that tips the balance in Jon's favour. And that is his resurrection. You resurrecting Jon had bound you both by a very deep kind of blood magic that binds you both to the other for life. Just like how Thoros and Beric are deeply connected by this abnormal magic, its intense between Jon and you because now also, romantic feelings are involved.

Resurrection has also awoken some more deeply hidden tendencies in Jon inherited by a certain individual *cough cough* and that darker side of him has made Jon extremely possessive about you. He doesn't want to refuse your and Robbs love and doesnt resent either of you for it, but there would be no denying that Robb would come back and notice that Jon is very intensely possessive of you more then is at all normal and you are very dependent on him in a similar abnormal manner (you had one fight with Jon and thought he didnt love you anymore and ran away into the arms of an assassination attempt on your life like GIRL YOU ARE UNWELL).

I don't think it comes down to choosing one over the other, I think its a lot more complicated, especially because of the bond created between you and Jon through his resurrection has deeply corrupted both of your abilities to approach the relationship with a rational degree of distance and self control. And that's a very difficult thing that is genuinly impossible to just work through.
