The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 12 2012, 02:28:25 UTC

It fills him with shame, but sometimes Jon hates his father for keeping secret everything about his mother, for keeping her name and face and memory all to himself. The ache in his heart where she should be is a near constant pain - dulled, by time, ignored and pushed to the background, but always there, and much as he loves his siblings, he knows it is this pain that they shall never (could never) understand.

He stands in front of the mirror and sees Stark staring back, and he turns his face first left than right, looking for a disparity, something that could have come from her. Was she fair-haired, he wonders, or dark like him? Was she noble-born, or a peasant girl, or a whoring camp follower? Did his father take him from her, or did she willingly give him away, force his father to bring him north ( ... )

OMG, my heart! This is absolutely perfect and everything I want for canon. I really wish we saw more of Jon wondering about his mother.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 12 2012, 02:50:30 UTC

Thank you! I agree with wanting more of Jon's thoughts on his mom - I feel like at this point he's almost resigned to knowing nothing, which is so fucking sad. =(

/CRYING.

This is perfect beyond perfect. Poor, sweet Jon. All these reasons are why I really kind of hope Septa Lemore is Ashara and one day they meet and she tells him she's his mother.

Thank yoooooou! Sometimes I have so many Jon feels I cannot even handle it. While part of me totally wants him to have a living mom, if it turns out his mother is anyone other than Lyanna (and therefore Ned's reasons for NOT TELLING JON ANYTHING ABOUT HIS MOM ARE TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE SHIT), I will have SO MUCH RAGE at Ned.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G bellonablack July 12 2012, 03:06:26 UTC

The image of Jon looking for traces of his mother is just perfect, I mean....it's a great insight, deep and relatable.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 12 2012, 03:35:09 UTC

Thank you so much! I always thought that the fact that he looks so much like a Stark must make it even harder - there's NO hint of his mother anywhere. :(

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G mihnn July 12 2012, 03:16:21 UTC

This is lovely, and I hate you for writing it! I actually love you for writing this, but that's besides the point.

All my Jon feels! This definitely convinces me. HE MUST KNOW HIS MOTHER! - What's taking so long, GRRM? *pout*

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 12 2012, 03:35:51 UTC

Thank you my dear!! XD Ugh if GRRM doesn't let Jon find out who his mother is soon, SO MANY KEYBOARDS WILL BE SMASHED.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G mihnn July 12 2012, 04:11:24 UTC

And letters written, tears shed and fists raised in protests!!!

Also, FYI, I'm friending you, 'cause I'm convinced that none of your fics should be missed.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 12 2012, 04:58:45 UTC

Awww, thanks! Friending back 'cause clearly it is long overdue.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G honey_wheeler July 12 2012, 06:19:04 UTC

SOB. I AM SOBBING, I WILL BE SOBBING FOREVER, YOU ARE THE WORST. I demand that you write Jon having a mom to make up for this.

Re: The ghost I never knew (Jon) - G juno_chan July 13 2012, 23:18:17 UTC

JON/HAVING A MOM = OTP 4EVER
