People who sing Rheagar and Lyanna is a love story are not getting a subject of the story their story echoes, Bael and the bard. In the current timeline, we have two other stories, that echo that Sansa and Jon, who were both held hostage and had to comply under the threat of death Sansa was molested on her wedding night, Jon was just raped and yes, in both stories, there was a kidnapping. both Sansa and Jon’s marriages did protect them and so did their status as a bastard protected them from death so if you look up on regarding Rheagar Lyanna‘s marriage, protected her from something and having a bastard did(from what I don’t know) but she was raped and she was kidnapped. our author has always pointed that when adults put children in sexual positions when they’re too young, for it didn’t die by that Lysa died to Peter because she raped him Drogo, and Viserys died to Daenerys  because they put her in that position. let’s not romanticize this not even an author does that 
Well said, dear anon. People often seem to forget that the Bael the Bard story is a negative story and being associated with that tale is not a good thing. We have three, actually four if we include Jon’s gender reverse version, bard figures (Bael, Rhaegar, Baelish, and Ygritte). Three of the four of them are outright villains who prey on a ‘Stark Maiden’. Based on that it makes sense that the second tale is as equally fucked up as the rest. Rhaegar and Lyanna are not a love story. To assume that it is, is an insult to poor Lyanna.
