Hi!! I saw a post you wrote about Sansa and thought you'd be a good person to ask about fic recommendations, if you wouldn't mind. I'm not looking for any particular ship, and I don't even need her to have a protagonist role, I'm just looking for any fics where she has some decent characterization and growth.

I hope you have a nice day!!

Hi there !

So I read Jon x Sansa fics mostly (I’m not really into multi-shipping for Sansa !!) but I’ll source some of my favourite ones :) Sansa is often very well written /characterised in these fics so hopefully that’s a breath of fresh air 🦋(and I don’t want to be biased here but Jonsa fans tend to have a really great grasp on Sansa’s character that is apparent through how she’s portrayed)

Beneath my bones - undercovercaptain - this a gorgeous fic that stays very true to book!sansa.

By firelight - undercovercaptain - my heart gushes so much over this one. I’ve read it a few times.

No more scars - orangeflavour - another one with great character development & characterisation. (There is a second part to this fic as well).

Who am I ? - ALCzysz17 - grapples with Sansa’a identity issues in the Vale.

Build a ladder to the stars - vixleonard

A caged songbird - bikadoo

From Instep to heel - orangeflavour - (fav fanfic ever written tbh).

The place you call home - honey_wheeler

^ those are just off of the top of my head, but most if it is book!canon and/or canon divergence - though there are some fantastic show canon fics out there as well. I apologise if Jonsa just isn’t your cup of tea, but from my experience in the sansa fandom - the *other* popular sansa ship is s*nsan, which I’ll admit I used to read when I was a young teenager - but I’ve never quite liked how sansa is portrayed in those fics.) so yeah if you’re looking for good characterisation and such , I’ll always recommend anything Jonsa related , though I’ve heard sansa & margaery have some good fics as well :)

Hope this helped xx 🦋

Fic Rec: Quiet on the Set by @myspecialhell

Actors AU. Jon Snow is a director about to make a movie that might be the big break of his career. All is fine until he casts Sansa Stark as the lead actress, and sparks fly and he realizes that he knows nothing. Sansa will change everything for him. Tyrion Lannister, the screenwriter of the movie deals with his family. Daenerys Stormborn is forced out of her hiatus when Tyrion offers her a role, and she is to be reunited with Jorah Mormont, with whom she has previously worked (and almost fallen in love). The movie can be their chance to save their careers and, who knows, maybe to reconnect and discover if what they had in the past was a fluke, or it's something real. (Read on AO3) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jonsa Halloween 2023 - Day 05 - Free Choice

Edit for The Purge by @kit-kat21

“This is not a test. This is your Emergency Broadcast System. Announcing the commencement of the annual purge sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of class four and lower have been authorized for use during the purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10 have been granted immunity and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. when the purge concludes. Blessed be our new founding fathers and America… A nation reborn. May God be with you all.”

...

“Please don’t leave me.”

The words fell from Sansa’s mouth because this man had come out here like so many others to exercise their right to purge but he had grabbed her and hid her from that truck of men instead of just letting God knows what happen to her and now, Sansa didn’t want to let this man out of her sight.

On this night, no one saved anyone but this man with the skeleton mask, guns and bulletproof vest had taken the time to save her.

Game Of Thrones Fanfiction List

Bequeathed from Pale Estates By Author376

In a Westeros where Soulmates are bound and Marked by the Gods to bind Houses together and pay blood debts, Lyarra Snow and Oberyn Martell are about to get a shock…

Winter Thorns of Highgarden (FF | AO3) By Madrigal_in_training (FF | AO3)

The knight's supposed to save the princess from the dragon but here, the princess is a dragon, the knight is a bookish lord, and the greatest threat is either the old lady in the blue wimple or the honorable warden with the Ice sword. Because no one thought a second Stark girl would be kidnapped for marriage or that the sensible Willas Tyrell would be the one to kidnap her.

Incandescent (FF | AO3) By Madrigal_in_training (FF | AO3)

In a moment of grief-stricken madness, Catelyn Stark attempts to murder her husband’s bastard. Yet her entire worldview shatters when Lyarra Snow refuses to burn. Fem!Jon, Lyarra x Robb

A Golden Age By margotdavid (FF | AO3)

At her father's request, Alysanne calls the banners and marches south. For what reason, she is not sure, but as she meets the lions on the field, Alysanne finds that she was more fire in her blood than she though. Tywin Lannister is seeing his house crumble to the ground because of his daughter. Worse, a wild girl just defeated his army. But when the face of Rhaella Targaryen appears in front of him, he makes a gamble that might just save his legacy.

A Song of Vengeance (AWOIAF | GOT | AO3) By IWantColouredRain (FF | AO3)

15 years ago, the Targaryens were forced into exile by the rebel alliance of the West-Stormlands-Vale-Riverlands... and Dorne. To ensure the loyalty of the hostile North, Aly Stark was wed to King Robert's closest friend, Oberyn Martell. Now, after 15 years, the wolves and dragons' pieces are in place, and they will have revenge. (Role Reversal.) Martell Centric. Hiatus

A Song of Marked Souls (AWOIAF | GOT | AO3) By IWantColouredRain (FF | AO3)

In a world where magic remains strong and the Old Gods keep active in the lives of their followers, Alyssa Snow and Oberyn Martell bear Marks that, according to the ancient gods that lurk in the weir woods, destine them for greatness. (Fem!Jon Snow. Not for Tully fans. OOC!Characters)

Princess of Wolves, Prince of Snakes (AWOIAF | GOT | AO3) By IWantColouredRain (FF | AO3)

After the Lions' coup, Aegon VI flees with his wife, mother, uncle and cousins in search of allies and safety in order to regain his throne. But there is only one place to go: The Winterlands, the only part of Westeros to remain independent of the Iron Throne. Hiatus until summer

The Star of the North (AWOIAF | GOT | AO3) By IWantColouredRain (FF | AO3)

Just when Lady Alarra Stark feels she has no escape other than death, she finds another option in the form of a Dornish viper and his elegant paramour.

There and Back Again (FF | AO3) By Naerys Blackfyre (FF | AO3)

After the events of season 8, Jon of House Targaryen is sent back in time to fulfill his destiny as the prince that was promised. Jonsa, Gendyra, RhaeLya, Anti-Dany, Dany fans beware. AU! NOT ANYTHING LIKE CANON!

Father of Dragons (FF | AO3) By Naerys Blackfyre (FF | AO3)

"How did you know of this chest Sam?" Jon's eyebrows were drawn together in a frown. "Hummm…oh uh well Maester Aemon told me to give this chest to you when he died. He said that you would most likely be in need of them." Sam answers with a shrug. Jon stared at Sam with a frown painted on this face. What could Maester Aemon possibly wanted to give him? Jonsa, Gendrya, Braime, RhaeEliaLya, Anti-Dany

Lost Girl By prussianblues

She leaves the Seven Kingdoms a bastard and returns a queen.

Or, Joanna Snow is in King’s Landing when Cersei seizes the city, and Varys sneaks her out to meet her brother. A meddling Magister later, she meets Daenerys as well.

A story told in drabbles.

To Go Forward By togo

Jon Snow wakes up in Winterfell, two years in the past. He struggles with his knowledge of the upcoming wars, the mystery of his mother's forgotten letters, and the prophecy of the Prince That Was Promised. How much time does he have until the Others invade Westeros?

A Second Time Around By ratclanqueen

"I know this is hard for you to understand but we have already lived this life once. The Gods are blessing us. I saw this before the Night King broke through the Wall. We have been reborn into our bodies before Jon Arryn's murder with our memories and knowledge of what could possibly lie ahead," Bran told them.

When all of House Stark wake up one morning with their deaths being their clearest memories, the wheel begins to turn. The game has a new player in the form of Sansa Stark, the Red Wolf of Winterfell and the Queen in the North before her death, who is determined to see her family grow old and happy in Winterfell and the Iron Throne melted to a puddle of metal at her feet.

Dragons of Red, Dragons of White By NightDrake

After the Duel on the Trident, there are ramifications that none could foresee. In the world built afterwards, dragons once again rule and roam Westeros, among them the son of a northern beauty and the king. Prince Jon and his kin, Stark and Targaryen alike, face new challenges from both without and within. Whatever the future holds, the Seven Kingdoms will learn that, whether in a coat of red or a coat of white, a dragon still has claws.

Manners and Misunderstandings By mostlyclouds

The Stark sisters have travelled all the way to London to begin their first season, leaving behind the familiar world of Winterfell Hall and a disappointed Jon Stark- with whom the eldest Miss Stark has been convinced to break off a connection. In London they join family friends the Baratheons and the fashionable young Tyrells in a world of romance and balls.

Meanwhile Gendry Waters has been plucked out of the life he knew to become his ailing father's heir, Robb, Theon and later Rickon embark on military careers in the Napoleonic wars, and their aunt Lysa makes a foolish marriage.

When tragedy hits the family, they must come together, learning how manners may hide monsters and the best people are often those misunderstood by society.

The Conquest By DolorousEdditor

An AU of grand scale inspired by a prompt by Oblongata.

Three hundred years after Aegon the Conqueror built a new empire on the ashes of the Valyrian Freehold the known world is a place of war. The Targaryen Empire is pressed by enemies, the Seven Kingdoms war amongst themselves and forces contrive to pull them all apart.

Amidst all this are a prince and princess who fear themselves ruined by the horrors they've endured. Together they might be the hope their people are looking for. More importantly, they might be the dream both abandoned long ago.

A Caged Songbird By bikadoo

“I will be a silent, and dutiful wife,” Sansa spits. “I will be their pretty little songbird, and wear their ugly crown, and sit on their painful throne. I shall give him a babe, and my love, and I will wait until he thinks that he has won. And then I shall take his life."

Shae goes still. "You ... you plan to kill the King?"

"No," Sansa says. "I plan to kill my husband."

A Knight's Watch By DolorousEdditor

Jon Snow is forbidden to take the black by his father. Instead he sent to squire for a famous knight, beginning a long arduous journey that causes him to cross paths with characters he never would have. Along the way he learns truths long hidden and discovers love in the most unlikely of places.

All of this in the shadow of the War of Five Kings and the coming of the Others.

[ircn-mvn]

Hey Jonsa fans, i'm looking for fic recommendations to take my mind of my current illness. ❤️‍🩹

I don't want any major character death, drugs, and/or bdsm but pretty much everything else is fine. I would love to read a good AU with Prince Jon (Jon as Aegon) too. Anyway, thanks in advance! 🤍

Personal thoughts:

This fic is so good!

I'm a bit sad it's orphaned, but that's the author's decision and as long as they're happy with it :)

Honestly i love the way it's written, the plot is super duper good, and i didn't expect Ygritte to be genderbent (i'm only a little disappointed, but the story is so good that at this point i don't mind)? like i was fully expecting a "you know nothing, Lyella".

Anyways, the way she's described is so interesting, and the way it's shown in pt 2 of the Slave Queen is fascinating. Mostly this phrase: "By the end of the girl's movement she had gone from a whore to a courtesan and changed clothes to a warrior." I think it's my favourite sentence of the whole 11k.

AND the plot twist at the end?? ugh, love it!

Jess’ Top 22 of 2022

I decided to do a fic rec list of my 22 top fics that I read in 2022, from lots of different ships and fandoms. We’re here to celebrate the effort that fellow writers put into creating magic for us all, fanfiction is such a massive part of my life and I think it deserves to have a spotlight shone on it’s greatness. 

[I limited myself to 1 fic/series per author, which was more of a challenge than I thought it would be 😂]

So in no particular order and without further ado...

Bring Him to His Knees - 245k+, Dramione, E Rated

Draco is on the case of a murderer, but to investigate, he needs a fake relationship - and a kink club play partner. When Hermione volunteers to take the role, both do their best to maintain the lie without letting each other know the truth: neither of them are acting.

Solntse - 60k+, Wolfstar, E Rated

Sirius, a young Russian billionaire hires Remus, who is working part time as a call boy to make ends meet. Things happen, feelings occur.

Did You Miss Me - 640k+, Wolfstar & Jily, E Rated

Though the new boy at Hogwarts University, James Potter, appears to be an adorable himbo with deep pockets, Remus Lupin and his friends instead find a horrifically dark past on Google. Did he really attack that boy and leave him for dead? Why won't he talk about his mysterious childhood best friend, "Pups"? Would it kill him to stop messing with his hair?

At least Remus got his phone back after losing it, but now he can't stop texting the mysterious number of the man who had sent it back. Padfoot is funny and charming, and Remus is NOT going to fall in love with him.

The PB to my J [AKA the one that converted Jess into a Wolfstar writer] - 270k+, Wolfstar, E Rated 

A Modern AU Marauders texting with prose fic set at University.

Mainly Wolfstar - Will they? Won’t they? (They obviously will...) And a little bit of Jily too.

A Second Look - 120k+, Dramione, M Rated

Her best friend's life was a mess and she would have done anything to make things better for him and his sons. So, when she found her former enemy in a similar situation her heart went out to him as well... and the beautiful blond baby in his arms didn't hurt his case. It was certainly enough for her to give him a second look.

oh, I’m gonna let the future in - 40k+, Scorpius Malfoy/Albus Potter, T Rated

Al doesn’t know what he’s doing. Not just with the new apartment, but with his life in general, and it doesn't help that his family quietly looks down on him. It feels as if they’re always waiting for him to do something spectacular, but without actually expecting it of him. They’ve given up on expecting anything of him.

Al only speaks English, and he sings in the shower, badly. He likes tea, and he cleans when he’s stressed. He sees a therapist. He has a total of two friends, and one of them is his cousin. He isn’t smart; he’s simple.

He wishes that could be enough.

Brooklyn Heights Books - 180k+, Stucky, E Rated

A man wearing a light denim jacket over a dark blue shirt came into the shop, a box tucked under his right arm. Despite it being late afternoon, he was wearing sunglasses with bright blue lenses, and his long, dark hair was pulled back in a messy little bun. A few strands had escaped, framing his strong, unshaven jawline. The man looked into the café, smiled widely, and waved in Clint’s direction as he kept walking into the bookstore, and Steve’s mouth went completely dry.

Beautiful, was the only word to describe that smile; straight, white teeth framed by full, lush, red lips, bracketed by laugh lines and an adorable dimple in his right cheek, a charming little chin cleft just visible under the light stubble—Steve was struck literally speechless. And that was before he got a glimpse of the man’s backside. Slim hips and a round, firm-looking ass led to long, lean legs that were encased in snug, dark blue jeans.

“Guh,” Steve said, watching the dark-haired man continue on to the back of the store.

‘tis the damn season - 70k+, Wolfstar, T Rated

“Where are you going?”

Remus turns. Sirius looks delightful; wine-flush and December drizzle painting his pale, pretty face the deepest carmine red. His spindly hands are twiddling at his front, as if he doesn’t know quite what to do with them. He sniffs, and exhales corporeal ice that sends a shiver running down Remus’ spine. He’s not sure if it’s from the cold or the alcohol or… something else.

Clean - 115k+, Dramione, M Rated

Malfoy's handsome face was contoured into a condescending smirk. "No faith in that giant brain of yours, Granger?" She looked up at him defiantly. "Maybe I don't have faith in you!" she said, raising her voice. Malfoy only looked at her. "You'll find I'm very surprising." 

Second Generation - 45k+, Wolfstar, E Rated

Remus Lupin and Sirius Black spent their late teens in a happy haze of sex, troublemaking, and playing in their band, but break up in college. But when their respective children get in trouble together more than 20 years later, Remus and Sirius find themselves at odds with their very different parenting styles and dealing with a spark that was never quite extinguished.

Dreamers - 45k+, Wolfstar, M Rated

In which Sirius did twelve years and meets Remus on a creative writing workshop.

The Searching Ceremonies - 580k+, Sterek, M Rated

Derek is being pressured by his family to pick a mate, and somehow stumbles into a choice that they didn't expect and aren't sure they approve of....

Quid Pro Quo - 105k+, Darklina, E Rated

The Slow Burn Breeding Kink Political AU

Cannibals - 20k+, Darklina, E Rated

It was very brief, the affair Alina Starkov had with her father.

Or: The Father-Daughter Incest AU

no shelter but mine - 65k+, Darklina, E Rated

“If you’re so worried about your daughter then why are you wasting your time yelling at me instead of caring for her?”

He stills. His fists clench, just once, and she can see the muscles in his jaw working, like it is taking him every ounce of will not to unhinge it, lean across the counter, and rip out her throat with his teeth.

Then he turns, without a word, and storms out the door, the tails of his black coat flying behind him like a cloak. Aleksander is in need of a nanny for his six-month-old daughter. As it so happens, Alina is the only person she likes.

Action - 20k+, Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, E Rated

Jaime’s a famous action hero. Brienne is the stunt coordinator on his latest movie. She’s hated him since the moment they met, and the feeling is mutual. But there are ways to work out their aggression.

Lost & Found - 95k+, Jon Snow/Sansa Stark, E Rated

When she realizes the husband she knew had departed, and she now had cold & hard mobster in his place, Sansa fakes her death and starts a new life in Wales.

And then Jon finds her.

It gets so hard to breathe (when you’re looking at me) - 57k+, Wolfstar, E Rated

When Sirius turns up at Remus' flat after the events at the Triwizard Tournament, he doesn't expect to find himself sharing a bed with Remus. Or getting so intimately involved in his life. Or to find out that they're mates and Remus wants nothing more than to push him up against the wall and make him forget his own name.

Or to feel so very complete.

But Sirius isn't complaining. Not one bit.

The Player’s Secret - 50k+, Wolfstar, M Rated

“So what’s he like? Full of it? Arrogant?”

“Yes,” he says, because he thinks that is a fair assessment. Sirius Black is full of it. He is arrogant. He’s also entitled and needy and smug. He’s talented, reckless, moody, selfish, childish, charming and sweet, and a million different other things Remus is trying to wrap his head around.

Sirius Black is hard work.

Remus Lupin is a successful documentary filmmaker who is assigned to make a fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring Sirius Black - one of the world's most brilliant footballers - as he competes in the European Championship.

All does not go smoothly.

The Same Way I Like My Coffee - 35k+, Jon Snow/Sansa Stark, M Rated

Sansa Stark always liked her coffee hot and sweet. She finally found a guy that makes the sentence "I like my men the same way I like my coffee" real to her.

Jon snow has no right to be that hot.

Or: Sansa opens the coffee shop of her dreams, makes great friends and meets an unbelievably hot Jon Snow.

don’t pout, darling - 70k+, Dramione, E Rated

"when's the last time you let someone take care of you?"

"no one's ever wanted to," her whisper is delicate, sharp like porcelain glass, the edges raw and tender. she is sugar-soft, a little thing tucked into his chest, ears pressed against the heart that beats for her.

"i'll take care of you, i'm always going to take care of you," he cooed. “you're my sweet girl, my baby.”

or: a modern au ddlg fic

when we kiss: mmmm, fire - 39k+, Jon Snow/Sansa Stark, E Rated

Sansa might be seeing someone casually, but thanks to Arya, Robb, and Theon, it’s Jon who’s got the inside track on how to get Sansa to take him seriously.

aka: the one where jon finds out that sansa has a daddy kink, and he uses it to seduce her away from the dating scene and into his arms, heeeey-oh!

[maidragoste]

I just wanted to tell you that I read almost all of your recommendations and I ended up OBSESSED WITH THIS CONCEPT. 10/10 your recommendations, thank you so much 🤭

Braavos is For Lovers 3k

Tired of fighting, Jon and Sansa run away to Braavos to get warm. They take new names, find work as common folk, and struggle with a forbidden attraction to each other.

Jeyne and Bael 7k by @wendynerdwrites

Jon and Sansa escape to Essos after Jon finds her again in the Vale. They adopt to their fake married aliases so well, they forget they are not actually married.

Bittersweet Symphony 1k by @captainbee89

For the prompt I got: Could you write a Jonsa fic in which Jon and Sansa lose the war and they'll change their names and live somewhere (let's say at the seaside) in bittersweet happiness

Alive 2k

“Where will we go?” “Somewhere warm. Far from here.”

We Should Run Away 2k

“We were children,” he tells her when she asks for his forgiveness, a long since given thing. But they are not children any longer and he does not know what to do with this sister in a woman’s body. or Jon and Sansa run away to Lys, and they don't look back.

Setting Sail ficlet by @azulaahai

At twilight, on the brink of night, a ship sets sail from White Harbor. Based on a prompt by @thimbleful: "After the resurrection, they decide to be selfish and go somewhere warm after all."

Tomorrows ficlet by @misshoneywheeler

It’s raining today, a softer rain than the sort that fell in Winterfell or the Vale or even King’s Landing. Most things in Essos seem softer so far: the winds, the ground, the people. And Jon.

Voyage to a New Life ficlet by @alczysz17

The shift between them was gradual. It was so easy to forget who they truly were here. Easy to forget their old lives and even their past relation to each other. Easy for the lines to blur when playing husband and wife.

take me apart and I'll flow like water 2k

“We can leave here and not look back,” he says, as he steps nearer to her, unsure of how close to get to this sister of his, this sister who had only ever offered him cold, blue Tully eyes and a frost-lined frown that had mirrored her lady mother’s. “We can start over,” he adds softly, and he knows he has her then, can tell by the broken, tear-laced sigh she delivers, her breath visible even in the warmth of Jon’s solar. OR the one where Jon and Sansa escape to Braavos before the BotB.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (if you feel like it, no pressure) Spread the self-love 💖

Thank you so much for the ask!💖💖💖

Admittedly most of my favorite fics haven’t been posted but here we go:

The Rise of the Final Order - The second installment of my post-sequel movies Star Wars series. Kylo Ren/Ben Solo x OC and General Hux x OC, among others. This series has been my baby ever since I started it after watching Rise of Skywalker, and even though I’m currently rewriting it, I’m still really proud of it. The Rise of the Final Order is one of my first fics that doesn’t take place within a show/movie timeline, so I’m really proud of it

Game of Thrones Collab Fic - The GoT fic I wrote with my friend this past year and a half. We filled an entire Google doc and had plans to fill another. By the time we stopped writing it we had written over 120 chapters. It’s also where Nadya’s story originally started.

As The Raven Flies - My lovely GoT fic that I have only just started but am so in love with. The main pairings are Robb Stark x OC, Jon Snow x OC, Daenerys Targaryen x OC, Sansa Stark x OC, and Arya Stark x OC. I plan on posting the first chapter very soon, and I can’t wait to share it!

Holding Out For A Hero - My Stranger Things fic that I started writing a few years ago after Season 4. It’s a Steve Harrington x OC fic with minor Jonathan Byers x OC. It was my first experience writing an outlined fic, and I’ve learned a lot about my writing style working on it.

Teenage Wasteland (My Ordinary Life) - My Loki show fic centered around the son of Loki and my OC. It’s meant to set up his character to later join my larger series. I’m really proud of the dynamics I was able to create within the fic, especially between the main OC and Mobius, Loki, and Ravonna. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to play around with the multiverse. This fic really helped me to develop my writing and pushed me to think outside the box.

All right y'all, I got a bunch of fun planned for April! I will be posting some rare pair fic recs for Game of Thrones. Most of these will be Sansa pairing fics, but I do have a couple others that I plan on adding too. I don’t necessarily have an order to how I plan to post them, but I do have a lot of pairs. A couple of notes:

I’m defining a rare pair as having 200 or less fics (both complete and incomplete combined) on AO3 as of about today (April 2, 2024). Some of these pairings will be closer to the 200 fics mark, while others may be closer to the 10-40 fics mark.

Each post will have it’s own pairing or theme.

Some of the authors have chosen to have their fics locked unless you have an account on AO3. I will try to indicate those ones that have that as of the time of my list posting with a 🔒 lock emoji by the fic.

If you read and enjoy any of these recs, PLEASE COMMENT on the story. I’m trying to draw more attention to some of these small ships. I write a lot of the pairs I’ll be recommending. I know I love getting comments on my rare-pair ships, especially the ones I didn’t think would get many views or likes.

Please have fun and keep an open mind! You might be surprised to find a ship you didn’t think you’d like or hadn’t thought of before!

post-canon fic collection

wanted to collect all my favourite post-canon fics in one list for easy access/to compartmentalize. decided i’d just post it to share with anyone else who might be interested :)

some notes: 

i have read all of these multiple times and love them all so much. a few of these are not completed but so good i’d rec them anyways. some summaries are cursive: they are not the actual summaries given by the author but instead my favourite part of the story. as they are all post-canon stories, sometimes the summaries are more vague, or they are similar to eachother so i wanted to showcase my fav parts and differentiate the stories at the same time; hopefully i dont offend any of the authors by doing so. feel free to add your recs as well! 

O Voyagers by rosa_acicularis (Words: 28369 Chapters: 4/5)

Jon sits in the chair beside her desk, hairbrush still in his hands. “What will you do instead?”

She sighs, resting her chin in her palm. “I’ve no idea. Noya says I should take a lover, but it would be – difficult. For all his faults, Tyrion may be the only man alive I’d trust to share my bed.” She pauses, recalling the fever and the comforting weight of Jon’s body beside hers. The brush of his fingers against her shoulder. “Aside from you, of course.”

It’s a casual enough remark. A simple observation – they had slept beside each other for hours, innocent as children – but the silence that follows simmers with tension, a thickness in the air. She looks over and sees him staring at her with wide, stunned eyes. His lips slightly parted.

“You know we’d never be able to marry,” he says.

The quill drops from her hand. “What?”

- i love love love this story so much. starts heavy and angsty but becomes more lighthearted as it goes. also some of the best in-canon smut imo

the dust of grief and sorrow by annabeth_writes  (Words: 7,156 Chapters: 3/5)

Sansa arrives in King’s Landing, intending to do whatever it takes to save Jon. Yet before anything else, she must speak to him. There is far too much that they need to say.

- what should have happened- politics wise. scratches my brain because its so satisfying to read.

power is power by brophigenia (Words: 2605 Chapters: 1/1)

Sansa, with her predator-pale eyes and her frigid manner, had been the real wolf all along. Had been able to smell it on him, the fire and the blood.

He is upon his knees before her on the flagstones even before he decides to move. “I’m sorry,” he whispers, fierce and begging, begging, when he would not have begged for his own life. He is no craven, and yet finds his mouth shaping the words so easily. “Sansa, Sansa, I’m sorry.” And it is all for naught, because he will still leave on the morrow, at the beckoning of his— his queen. His aunt. His latest in a lifetime of oaths broken, twice- or thrice-over.

North by Northeast by treescape (Words: 10579 Chapters: 5/9)

Sometimes, he comes down out of the north. His familiar shape coalesces in the rain or the sunlight or the snow, and her breath catches painfully in her throat. It is only ever in that sharp moment of relief, as his eyes catch hers across the courtyard, that she allows herself to recognize the fear that never quite goes away: that one day, he will decide he has no reason to make the long trek south to Winterfell.

All That Is After by DottyDot (Words: 21657 Chapters: 7/7)

The years he spent away from her before were nothing compared to how time passed now. Instead of the pain fading, it grew. The ache fed on all that had passed between them, memories became more consuming rather than dimming. Instead of distance stretching the thread between them until it broke, he felt it press into his skin more insistently. Each step, no matter in which direction, only reminded him of how tightly bound he was to her, her eyes, her words, her pain.

He told himself that this was for the best, that they could only recover from all that had happened if they stopped picking at the wounds, but every step away from Winterfell, away from her, was a new abrasion. 

-just feels like laying with a soft blanket and a hot water bottle as its snowing outside idk how else to describe how it makes me feel. wholesome af. 

To Be Alone With You by appletooth (Words: 10629 Chapters: 1/1)

If he willed it, Sansa would make a Stark of Jon. One way or another.

- tw: dolores lives in this one and jon/sansa have an arranged marriage, not exactly a love story but very beautiful either way. 

jus primae noctis by bellemon (Words: 7508 Chapters: 1/1)

He places her on the bed as gently as possible, then climbs over her, settling between her open legs. Their lips meet again, and God, it’s like coming home. Again and again and again. 

i’ll crawl home to her by usuallysunny (Words: 5021 Chapters:1/1)

"I want you to talk to me," she says like it's a simple task, rather than something agonising, "about how you are, the years we've spent apart… anything."

Anything other than this silence, he reads between the lines, worse than when they were children. He, who had treated her with indifference, she who only ever called him her half-brother since she was old enough to know what "bastard" meant.

"I came back for Arya," the implication is clear and he watches her wince again, "there's little point in combing through the past."

She's clearly hurt and his fingers itch – to hurt her, to comfort her, he doesn't know.

remember me, love, when i’m reborn by akosmia ( Words: 9103 Chapters:1/1)

There's so much she could say right now, but it wouldn't matter. She knows she can't change his mind, no matter how hard she tries, no matter how tight she'll cling to him. She'll have to let him go, eventually, like everything else in her life. But she knows Jon is right - she's always known, after all. She only wishes he weren't.

-- or, two conversations in the godswood, and the art of letting go

- big fat warning: this one hurts really bad. no happy ending.

Winter Ghosts by maraudings (Words: 6763 Chapters:1/1)

There are no ravens telling of Jon Snow making his journey back south. No sightings of him anywhere in her kingdom. He must have gone further north, she realizes. Or even stayed at the wall. Why would he want to come here? There is nothing waiting for him at Winterfell besides her, the one who helped send him to take the black for a second time. He doesn’t want to see her.

There is a different kind of acceptance to that, one that cuts far deeper than anything else ever could, one that reminds her of a little girl alone in the Red Keep realizing that no one was going to come for her.

- the summary is angsty but the ending is very sweet. jon speaks, which is always wonderful. 

make it so divine by ohtempora  (Words: 1672 Chapters:1/1)

She doesn't have a name for what pulls them together. Family, but only just. A battle, but not entirely. It is dark, how she thinks of him, flush with desire, a need for her kin. Jon’s not a brother anymore, but he isn’t quite her cousin. Sansa can’t let herself label it.

“I missed you,” she says.

setting off (but not without my muse) by brokentombstone  (Words: 5043 Chapters:1/1 )

“Grey Worm and all Daenerys’ people are gone, on that ship there!” Jon’s head reels on instinct at her words to a rapidly disappearing ship, “Nobody left in Westeros has any love for the Dragon Queen. They whisper your name in secret Jon, their hero, their liberator. They don’t want this anymore than the rest of us. Don’t do this, not for your honour or for any other stupid noble reason. Come home, and heal. With me.” Sansa is pleading by the end, openly and without any reservations. She took a step towards him on her final words and before Jon notices it she has taken his hands in her own. Squeezing them tightly. Her eyes implore him and Jon’s mind rushes to catch up.

“You’re serious?” Jon croaks and swallows thickly. Her words, with me, are a mantra in his head.
