Since writing hotgw, I completely forgot what the fate of Olly in the show was. I completely forgot that they villanized this 13 year old boy by turning him into an angry, silent, and emotionless sociopath who was not effected negatively by committing murder to someone he looked up to like an older brother, and whom he saw return from the dead.

And then had JON SNOW OF ALL PEOPLE willingly choose to sentence him to death by hanging. And not at all consider he was a young, traumatized boy whose greif and confusion was manipulated by older superior officers in the Watch, to do something he clearly didn't understand the consequences of, and was clearly so conflicted he was crying when he did it. This boy whose story started with Ygritte callously murdering his father right beside him, before his family and village were slaughtered, and a Thenn tormented him by telling him how he was going to eat his mother and father with a knife to his throat:

I'm not saying Olly should be plainly forgiven for what he did to Jon, but I think its obvious that in Jons absence when he went to Hardhome, Ser Alliser clearly organized this mutiny with other high ranking men, and to hurt Jon even more, manipulated Olly into helping by using his trauma against him.

I'd even argue Olly was forced into it, as the moment Ser Alliser brought this plan to him, Olly couldn't say no. Because if he did, Ser Alliser knew Olly would go to Jon as soon as he returned. Meaning Ser Alliser either directly threatened or indirectly implied a threat to make Olly get in on this plan.

And I am sure as hell saying thar Ser Alliser, Yarwick, and Marsh deserved to be hung as they were grown men in full control of their choices and actions. But I will go to the grave saying that the real Jon Snow would understand Olly's complications and never would've harmed, let alone executed a child.

Season 6 Olly was unfairly villanized to satisfy general audiences who hated him for helping to murder Jon, and season 6 Jon was unfairly characterized as someone who would not see the obvious manipulation of a traumatized child and unintentionally villanized by thus executing that same child just to satisfy those same general auidences who wanted Olly to pay.

tldr: my fic is 100% me redeeming Olly out of spite for the writers and auidence members who were way too over eager to see the death of a child
