Comment fic meme #2
After the first round of got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (here's a list of all the fics that were written last time), so I thought it might be fun to do this again. (Like last time, it's posted on the mod account journal because I don't want to enable anonymous comments on the exchange community.)

“Jon,” she says, and he looks down to see her delicate hand on his arm. “You must be weary.”
His eyes lock on her at his name on her lips. She is distractingly beautiful, and he is embarrassed how often his eyes are drawn to her. To her long red hair, unbound over her shoulders. He remembers a pretty little girl, who liked songs and practiced her embroidery with great care, but he had not imagined this great lady. This red headed beauty reminds him of her mother, which turns something in his gut, but she reminds him of someone else as well.
Kissed by fire.“The men are tired,” he says, refusing to speak of his own complaints when others have given so much. “It is good to rest tonight ( ... )

As always, I adore how fierce and strong-minded your Sansa is. It's such a wonderful counterpoint of Jon's expectations vs. the reality of Sansa; he still sees her as something to protect, but is coming to realize that she's a force to reckon with in and of herself. I especially liked Jon's assumption that Jaime was the one to kill Littlefinger, and how Sansa shuts him down. Atta girl. :)
Obviously, the whole Jon-Jaime jealousy thing makes me want to jump and clap my hands, because of COURSE that's how they'd behave around each other in this circumstance. I especially like how cavalier Sansa is about Jon's Jaime-worries, because to her, at this point, trusting Jaime seems quite natural. But for Jon, it's anything but.
I hope you keep exploring this pairing- I'm slowly but surely falling in love with it, and some more amazing Jon/Sansa fic from you might be enough to push me over the edge. ;)

I think initially Jon would be a little thrown by a strong Sansa, since that is so far from what he knew her as, and so he'd definitely want to protect her. He'll learn fast enough. :)
Sansa offing Petyr is like my running theme, isn't it? But it just seemed fitting in this, where Jon is not fully aware of Sansa's abilities, that he'd assume Jaime has something over on her, because he saved her from Littlefinger.
As I expand this fic, I think Jamie and Jon scenes might end up being a lot of fun, playing off that jealousy.
I love Jon/Sansa! If I can get you on board the ship, it will be a job well done, since I'd be thrilled to have you writing for the pair. There aren't enough fics out there for it, but like Jaime/Sansa, the level of quality is very, very high. Perfect ship to adopt. ;)

I love how aware he is of everything about he and of course how you incorporated Jaime there (in my head this fic is a little Jaime/Sansa/Jon ;D).

It is a little bit Jaime/Sansa/Jon. I think as I expand this into a full length fic in the future, that's definitely one of the angles I'll play with.

I LOVE the way you write Sansa here, how she's grown into her own and how subtly her strength shines through (I really liked how you highlighted that she didn't need to wait for anyone to ~take care of Littlefinger hehe)
Also, love Jon's little jealousy spell and Sansa' easy dismissal of it ;) I particularly liked how she said that Jaime had "his own kind of honor" because it demonstrates a sort of understanding that someone who experienced what Sansa had could now boost, whereas someone like Jon may be far less inclined to *-)
Basically, I am so thrilled that you're writing for this pairing now, though you probably already knew that hehe <333

Sansa killing Petyr is one of my favorite future potential plot lines. It would be very poetic.

I would like to think of Sansa developing into a strong woman, who has insight into how people work. I think that might lead her to take a more nuanced view of the people the rest of her family would dismiss as enemies. She knows the truth can be much darker and more unexpected.
I love the pairing, and I love everything all you talented writers have written for it thus far!

You write brilliantly, and I love how strong and capable your Sansa is (killing petyr, yay!). And how she longs for and loves Jon...And woo the non-sisterly thoughts Jon having, how delighted he'll be when he discovers that she's feeling the same way...and Jaime, how great of you to throw in him...and the jealousy between the two men was perfectly delicious...But ultimately (in my view anyway), Jaime can't really compete - I mean how can anyone compete with Jon? He's the perfect hero...humble beginnings, grew up believing in honor and duty, and of course ends up Targaryen king...and we all know he's just so hot...
Ok I'm rambling, I know...but I can't wait for the expanded version!!! And also - would you mind posting this on fanfiction.net or archive of our own so I can have a handy spot for all my fav fics? Its so hard to keep track of these separately...

I hope Sansa ends up confident and strong in canon, and I think part of that will probably involve excising Petyr from her life...perhaps by killing him.
Hopefully we'll see more of Sansa's feelings for Jon in the upcoming chapters. I will definitely explore more jealous!Jon and jealous!Jaime, because that's just too much fun. But, you're right, in this case, Jaime is bound to be on the losing end, and I think he knows that.
I have updated/expanded, and you can find it here. I always post first to LJ, but I will eventually get them up on fanfic.net and AO3 too, so whatever your preference, you should be covered. :)
Thanks for reading and commenting!
