Comment fic meme #2

Mar 05, 2012 15:28

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.)

I changed the ( Read more... )

Fill #2: Stannis/Jon, things he shouldn't think - or say linndechir March 7 2012, 00:29:11 UTC
Tadaaa, here's a second fill, as promised. It's actually set in canon, go me. But writing not-Kingsguard!Jon is just confusing, it feels all weird to me. ;)

The Night's Watch takes no part. It does not matter which king wins the Iron Throne. Jon keeps repeating the words in his mind, but he is less and less convinced of them. King Stannis Baratheon was hardly a pleasant guest at Castle Black, demanding, prickly, irascible, and yet Jon finds his respect growing every time he talks to the king. Every time he kneels and Stannis tells him in that impatient voice to get up. Every time Stannis gives him that angry look that is still tinged with respect since Jon refused Winterfell ( ... )

That he would not mind staying on his knees if the king asked him to.

Ok, this is the slashiest and hottest line ever in regards to those two. This is great, and yes, you've corrupted me into this UST pairing (not that I mind though). I really like the way that you've portrayed how Stannis' various aspects dominates Jon in every way and almost torments him which is much more intimate than just all-out sex.

Jon kneeling for Stannis seems to be a recurring theme in my fics, I just realised. The power dynamics between these two are just so beautiful and intriguing, I could play around with that forever. I actually had a line in there about how Jon craves Stannis' approval the way he did with his father, but then I realised that wasn't actually fitting for ASOS/ADWD!Jon, but only for future!Jon. So the line had to go, but I still like it. ;)

I'm so glad you liked this, and even happier that I've managed to convert you to this pairing. I keep wanting to write actual porn about them, but every time I try Stannis just angsts at me.

This is excellent. This is just ;lashdjfg;flk I LOVE that you started it with Jon's allegiance - just wanting Stannis to be king is a thought he ought to keep in check - and then went on to the other thoughts he shouldn't be having. Such a perfect way to introduce it and so psychologically plausible, in my opinion.

I also love how Jon has this very unromanticised view of Stannis - he's not attractive (or he shouldn't be, not in physical terms and not taken piece-by-piece) but Jon is attracted to him. He might find Stannis' big hands and his harsh strength intimidating but you can just see that he is into it. Oh Jon, one day you will figure that out and be even more worried about the terrible thoughts you're having. ;D

But, anyway, yesss, eeeee, canon!fic and Jon Snow's conflicted, not-quite confirmed loyalty. SO GOOD. I can't believe you filled this prompt twice. You are the best. I owe you, one soul/lots of fic.

Thank you. :D I'm happy you liked this, because I'm not really used to writing canon!Stannis/Jon rather than futurefic. I wasn't sure if Jon wasn't already too much into Stannis and I actually took out some lines that were too ... too Kingsguard!Jon. Glad it worked.

Jon always seems to cling to his vows whenever he doesn't know what to do, much like Stannis clings to rules and laws. It's like their way of dealing with a moral dilemma is to remind themselves of what they believe is their duty.

Well, it's hard to have a romanticised view of Stannis, the man is such a dick most of the time. ;) But, yes, Jon is SO into him. I'd love to see something about Jon's fantasies of Stannis ...

Yay, soul and fics! That's the best reward ever. ^^

:D canon!Stannis/Jon is pretty awesome but it'll definitely take a while for canon!Jon to trust Stannis to the extent that he does in Kingsguard 'verse so I can see why the adjustment was difficult.

Yeah, that's true! I love how Jon and Stannis both have their moral systems and use them to resolve their dilemmas - but are also beautifully flexible about their moral code when they fail to resolve things as they ought to.

Agreed. ;D But, god, yes, Jon's fantasies about Stannis could fill a book. (Maybe they will fill TWOW - we can only hope.) So. Many. Things. I. Want. To. Write.

So glad you're pleased with your reward.

I think I just got too used to Kingsguard!Jon. And, tbh, I have no idea if I'm even capable of writing pre-Kingsguard!Jon in longer fics in a believable way.

I absolutely love it. They both have very strong principles, but they're flexible enough to be pragmatic, unlike Robb or Ned.

So turning this into a prompt now. (That would be epic - TWOW is really just about Jon's feverish dreams about Stannis.)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I do enjoy pre-Kingsuard!Jon a lot but I have so much Kingsguard!Jon headcanon.

That's definitely true. Much more flexible than Robb and Ned.

So many prompts I want to write! I opened up about 10 tabs, each with a different prompt in, earlier. lf;hs;ljg (I would love that. I know GRRM won't give us that and I'm pretty sure ADWD is just the Stannis/Jon epic but here's hoping!)

I suppose it doesn't help that I never cared about Jon before he became Lord Commander, so I just never thought all that much about younger Jon.

(I will not stop hoping for a reunion and their super badass team-up until one of them dies. And doesn't come back to life. :/) Haha, that's awesome. ^^ I'm still staring at my Stannis/Sansa thing. I've written almost 1000 words and they're still not dancing. oO
