Fic: "And If You Want Me, I'm Your Country." (Jon/Sansa, R)

Feb 22, 2012 07:13

So I've been participating in the most excellent got_exchange If you haven't been over there, go check it out! There's some SERIOUSLY awesome fic happening, and so many pairings/prompts/ideas. This was my contribution, and since it went up yesterday, I'm guessing it's safe to put up here! I'd honestly meant for it to be a little character sketch kind of thing ( Read more... )

I just needed you to know once again how much I loved this because it is brilliant *sighs* <3333

Aw, thank you, m'dear!! What would I do without you 'shipping Jon/Sansa with me? BE REALLY SAD THAT'S WHAT. Also, I...um...may write a sequel now. Got to thinking about Sansa's POV and how she'd feel while Jon is away. *thinks thinky thoughts*

I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH THIS SEQUEL YOU HAVE IN MIND WOULD MAKE MY LIFE BECAUSE O.M.G <3__<3

jal80 February 23 2012, 02:28:55 UTC

YAY! I'm really thinking about it. I just have to figure out, like, MORE PLOT and stuff. Or it may just be Sexy Tiems. EITHER WAY, FUN WRITING AHEAD. ;)

Stunning. So very stunning. This snippet just hurt my heart with tenderness:

"This is how it's meant to feel, isn't it?" she asks him, and the sudden tightness in his chest threatens to break his heart.

"Yes," he tells her simply, and then they are kissing again, and he is tearing at the sheet, and when her fingers again reach for his laces, this time, they are sure and deft.

....Jon wants to make her burn for him, hot enough to sear away every unwanted touch, every unwelcomed caress. He never wants her to remember that there is another way for this to feel."

UGH. Jon wants to chase away all of the bad memories of her life before and replace them with his tenderness and gentleness. And it just makes me melt.

I loved every bit of this. Well, done!

Thank you so much!! I really wanted the ~sexytiems~ part of the story to be, well, sexy, but to still have some heart and a few "ow, my feeeeeelings!" moments. So happy that worked for you! :)

I'm actually a big Jaime/Sansa shipper, but how can I resist anything with the sexy Jon Snow in it? It's impossible. Next to Jaime and Sansa, my heart beats for Jon/Sansa as well as Jon/Dany. So yes, the sexy times soooo worked for me.
And I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me...are you planning on writing a sequel??? Because I will beg if needed.

jal80 February 25 2012, 16:32:39 UTC

Oh, I have SO MANY ASOIAF ships! Jaime/Sansa is fun, as is Jaime/Brienne (probably my OTP of the series), Jon/Sansa, Jon/Dany...Give me pretty people making out, and I am a HAPPY GIRL. ;)

*wanders in nervously and hopes I don't seem like a creeper*

Um, you don't know me, but I was just re-reading this fic, and when I saw your name in the comments, my reaction was something like: "OMG that's the person who wrote that amazing Jon/Sansa fic over on AO3!!!" So I clicked your LJ name and here I am. <--Please pretend all of that is less creepy than it sounds.

I wanted to review this on AO3, but I don't have an account there yet, so I hope you don't mind me invading your LJ to do it here.

Basically: I loved everything about this fic. Every. Single. Word. But there were a few things in particular that stood out to me, which I'll talk about below. Please forgive my teal deer, but this fic gives me a lot of feelings, ok?

>>>"Janos Slynt was sent to the Wall when you were there, yes?" Surprised, Jon looks up. She sits there, her expression unreadable, but one finger taps the arm of her chair, and he suddenly understands that his answer is important to her. He rises. "He was." "I heard that he was executed by your ( ... )

OMG, not creeper-ish AT ALL! Lovely!! Thank you so, so much for such an awesome comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Jon/Sansa very often make ME feel all the feelings, too, so I am so glad I'm not alone. I think there's something so intriguing about the two of them together, probably because they're SO similar in a lot of ways. Both have all these idealistic expectations that get totally blown to hell, but they LEARN from it and adapt. I think if they ever meet up again in the books, they'll have a lot more respect for each other, so that's what I wanted to get across in the fic. Well, that and hawt sexy-tiems, obvs. ;-)

And those gifs crack me up! Hoping to get sequel-y soon! And again, thank you SO MUCH!!

OMG - A sequel?! emeraldzen1 February 25 2012, 03:43:18 UTC

Ok, I read this on archive of our own, and decided to check out your livejournal page...and OMG I am so glad that I did ( ... )

Re: OMG - A sequel?! jal80 February 25 2012, 16:31:18 UTC

Hee! Thank you ever so much, m'dear!! And yes, when I do the sequel, I'm TOTALLY going to get into Sansa's head RE: how she felt when Jon first came back, and all the stuff SHE was dealing with leading up to their wedding. I think there's a lot of good stuff there and of course, I LOVE MY SWEET SANSA, so I want to play in her head for awhile. ;)
