One of my favorite Jon Snow chapters. It’s a rather quietly meditative and introspective chapter with Jon reflecting on his childhood and wrestling with Stannis’ offer to be Lord of Winterfell and his own desires and ambitions.

Ygritte wanted me to be a wildling. Stannis wants me to be the Lord of Winterfell. But what do I want?

It’s interesting to note that unlike the other Stark children, Jon doesn’t really consider Winterfell to be his home. There’s the dreams of the old kings of winter telling him that he doesn’t belong and there’s the memories of Catelyn making him feel like he doesn’t belong there.

The chapter starts with Jon remembering Robb telling him that he can’t be Lord of Winterfell because he’s bastard born (A poignant moment because we as readers know that Robb has legitimized him as Jon Stark, KITN and Lord of Winterfell). From here, Jon reflects on marriage, children, family, home, Robb, Ned, love and the future as he walks by the ghosts of his past.

Outside, he found he had no idea where he was going. He walked past the shell of the Lord Commander's Tower, where once he'd saved the Old Bear from a dead man; past the spot where Ygritte had died with that sad smile on her face; past the King's Tower where he and Satin and Deaf Dick Follard had waited for the Magnar and his Thenns; past the heaped and charred remains of the great wooden stair. The inner gate was open, so Jon went down the tunnel, through the Wall. He could feel the cold around him, the weight of all the ice above his head. He walked past the place where Donal Noye and Mag the Mighty had fought and died together, through the new outer gate, and back into the pale cold sunlight.

Just as Jon finally comes face to face with his desire for Winterfell, Ghost makes an appearance and gives him his answer. Jon is not going to break his oaths, become Lord of Winterfell and burn down the Godswood as Stannis desires.

We then get to see the first election in Westeros and all the different players. Here’s where we get the first hints of the likes of Marsh and Othell Yarwyck, with Thorne trying to convince Yarwyck to stand down in favor of Slynt in order to not displease Tywin. And Yarwyck more or less suggesting Jon, taking into consideration that Slynt would displease Stannis. We see how a lot of the NW brothers don’t like Janos Slynt’s bluster and big talk.

And finally, Mormont’s raven. Did Sam place the raven inside the kettle? Did Maester Aemon know? Was it Bloodraven’s doing?

The chapter ends with Jon being elected Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch and starting a whole new story arc for the character.

The Wall was his, the night was dark, and he had a king to face.

So far, which chapter of shoh has been your favourite to write or the hardest to write?

Oooh, good question! I think the hardest chapters to write have been the ones that split up into two completely different story routes, like the Trouble-Tallys split in Chapter 1! So I would say Chapter 2 (with meeting Riel or Chase first, and then choosing which one of them to go on a mission on) was the most technically difficult and unwieldy to track. Chapter 5 (Briony's chapter with the gladiators) was also difficult due to all of the battling and combat involved (my least favorite thing to code) and Chapter 7 was also hard due to how beefy it was in word count and branching... and also how grim it was, it was a slog to be stuck in that damn swamp for all of those months!!

As for favorite chapter, I think whatever chapter I'm currently writing is always my favorite in the moment (even when it's difficult), lol! I think I loved the setting of Chapter 6 (Lavinet's chapter) best--I just love nobles and glittering courts and aristocratic scheming--but the banter and dialogue of Chapter 7 was also some of my favorite. In general, I think the 'later' chapters are going to be my favorites because everyone has had a chance to settle in and form friendships at this point, unlike the chapters when they're just getting introduced and are still getting used to each other! But of course, I'm proud of and love them all! 😁

Thanks for your question!

Memories.

Sunny took his hand. “Show me.”

Maxi opened the door up to an endless hallway that spiraled out of sight. There were countless doors with varying labels carved into the wood. Sunny assumed they were his memories. “It’s all the way down. Don’t let go of my hand.”

Sunny tightened her grip. Maxi led her up and down the spiral until they stopped in front of a looming door padded down with locks and bolts. Maxi’s hand trembled in hers. It shocked her to realize that even the strongest sages could be afraid.

Sunny squeezed his hand. “I’m with you.”

Maxi released a heavy breath, then raised his free hand and aimed it at the door. He curled his fingers in the air. The sound of bolts unlocking sounded through the hallway. Sunny took a step back when the chains and bolts fell to the floor in a loud clangor.

The door cracked open on its own. Like it was daring them to come in.

Maxi pulled her with him and pushed open the door. They stepped inside. At first the room was dark, but then it slowly filled with color. A large office space was then created out of the color pallet. Maxi guided them off to the side, near the window behind the office desk. He walked through the office with familiarity. That struck her as odd. Locks and bolts had encased the memory, so he couldn't relive it. But thinking back on her own worst memory, she understood. Just because she kept it locked up, didn’t mean she freed herself from its clutches.

Sunny looked out the window. The Shrieking Hollows were in clear sight. Her eyes went wide. So that meant—

A door swung open and slammed into the wall. Sunny spun around. A much older looking version of Maxi stepped into the office looking unkempt. Strands of hair had broken loose from the bun that sat low on his neck. He slammed his fist on the desk. “Damn it!” More strands came loose.

Sunny backed into the windowsill.

“Don’t worry.” Maxi said, “He can’t see or hear you. It’s only a memory.”

Tell that to Sunny’s racing heart.
