Can someone write an AU where Sansa is Ned's bastard and Jon is his true born (he's a meanie hardass)? Or recommend one if there is.

HOTD didn't make want to watch it but it made me want to read Jonsa fics, so I guess I win 🤷‍♀️
This is the Jonsa brand. We always win, even when we lose. 😂 Here are recs for some favorite short Jonsa fics to celebrate!
moments of death 4k “She is a lady in silks and sable. He is a savage, furs heaped on his shoulders, his beard trailing to his chest. There is frost in it, or silver. He is older now, after all. She is too; but her skin is still taut and pale. It shines like opal, or like ivory. (The things he has carved for her in the quiet dark of the wild.)”
Lies/Luck 1.5k "And for one lingering moment, her hair seemed to gleam copper in the torchlight."
Acting like a fool around you 3k "You don’t look like you’re drowning,“ he starts, and she has to stop herself from grinning at him, at how shy he looks when he’s scratching the back of his neck."
If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life 3.5k "Braids undone, her hair, like a veil, and he’d kiss her forever beneath it."
passed down like folk songs, .5k “Something shook loose inside Jon and he saw Sansa clearly. The girl she once was, the woman she was now. And he realized all of these rights of passage were stripped from her. So he stood up without hesitation, offered his arm, and asked. “Dance? My Lady.”
spring bells 1k "...and Jon knew then that this one small act would be allowed"

Can someone please help me find a fic I read once and forgot to save?
It was a Jonsa fic where Sansa arrived to the wall alone and Jon decided the best was to hide her north of the wall because the Boltons are looking for her and he didn't have the means to protect her and otherwise and he finds an abandoned hut for her to stay but she is there all alone except for Ghost who Jon leaves there to protect her and Jon visits every day and brings her food and stuff and then one day he doesn't come and she gets worried and after several days she goes to the wall and they think she is a wildling and turn her down but not without telling her Jon is dead and when he comes back to life he goes to find her but she is gone from the hut and she ends up living with some wildlings and Jon thinks she and Ghost are dead and she is pregnant and he doesn't know it ?
And also someone calls her Jon's "sister-wife" at some point and it becomes a thing to call her that?
I don't remember more but if it's ringing any bells for anyone please let me know 🙏

can you recommend some book jonsa fanfics? Not really that many on going in ao3
Hey anon!!!
Here are some more recs for you!!
the first are from nepobabyeurydice:
if you try to break me you will bleed by @dialux
time travel fic with Sansa, but it’s always the first fic I recommend to friends because the development of Jon and Sansa’s relationship from her holding all the cards, to him swearing herself to her, and then Sansa letting him see the whole deck is genuinely beautiful to read!
love exists in many forms by @dialux
In which Alayne Arryn, only daughter of Jon Arryn, commits suicide after her father dies in a failed attempt at rebellion, and her handmaiden, Sansa Stone, pretends to be her when faced with death. Sansa arrives at King’s Landing and finds herself betrothed to Prince Jon Targaryen; but their relationship is complicated by old secrets, new loves, and treason.
my head is bloody and unbowed by sadhippe
In which Robb’s baby survives, Sansa never marries Ramsay, and Jon is held captive at Dragonstone. Also more Tully’s and other Northern Conspiracy Faves!
and recs from visenyashill, who is going to do one of longer fic when they have the time and energy to actually read fic in a little bit, so these are mostly one shots-
in the midst of the ruins by iday
jonsa fic, post war for the dawn. while living out his days out of sight and out of mind, jon gets a raven from winterfell with only two words: "come home." so he does. brienne and podrick are also there. very cute, contained little story, and an older jonsa fic.
varg-hamr/wolfskin by undercovercaptain
this one gets rec-ed a lot but for good reason! a take on jon's ressurection and sansa as the girl in gray that i think is well done and also roughly what i predict will happen (leaving room for some crazy grrm-ness tho, obviously)
saw you in the snow by sleepingwithwolves
another girl in gray esque take but with bran coming to sansa in a weirwood dream as well as jon. i love this one a lot, i you will see i have a weakness for jonsa fic that features another starkling.
no smooth road by maybethrice
rickon pov where jon and sansa recall him from hiding on skagos when he’s twelve, to be the new lord of winterfell. it’s a “dany stops the long night” canon and i like it for delving into the difficult tie of the political situation.
ghosts by sansawolfbits
jon travels to the vale to meet with the lord protector and finds someone he didn't expect. very short but cute also myranda cameo.
i lost all signs so i got lost by tempisfugit
The five people who wanted Sansa for who she reminded them of and the one who just wanted her.
stealing by just_a_dram
jon steals sansa. this is the first jonsa fic i ever read and this author was super prolific with book canon jonsa in like....2016? ish? so if you're looking for book canon stuff, I would definitely start here!
a boy in his cups by greenhikingboots
a re-imagining of jon's first chapter in agot where he knows the truth of who he is and drunkenly proposes to sansa.
a stark in winterfell
it's not super romantic, more tortured than anything, about sansa needing an heir and seducing jon snow - and neither of them know about his true parentage.

Some book! jonsa fanfics recommendations? pleaseeeee <333
Hi anon!
The last time I made a list of bookverse jonsa fic was in late 2021, in this post.
I've added a few more to my AO3 bookmarks since then!
(Disclaimer: These reflect not a commentary on popularity or overall quality. I only bookmark those for rereading that fit my extremely specific tastes, the fandom has MUCH more to offer.)
I'm leaving out anything that veers too far off book canon, regardless of how good it may be, so while many of these are AUs to some extend, they won't be modern or regency or anything like that.
for the wars by ganymede_elegy (@cellsshapedlikestars) is a bookverse AU that veers of canon early and well. Jon doesn't join the Watch - and he is not Rhaegar's son, either. An excellent exploration of the Stark family dynamics in the time of war, both bitter and genuinely sweet.
My Maid of Stone is a WIP by @undercovercaptain is a bookverse "Jon goes to the Vale" AU, and already the first chapter is delightful. Come for the premise, stay for the sheer beauty of imagery and language.
Dance by @esther-dot is a short and very sweet pre-parentage reveal moment. <3
he flies by his own wings by TrishTan (@notbloodraven) is a WIP and actually an extremely different "Rhaegar won" AU, with a dark Targ bastard Jon, but it's definitely bookverse flavored and it's just all around excellent, hilarious and absolutely unique, so.. you know, enjoy!
a wind with a wolf's head by Juliet_Capulet is a bookverse Sansa-centric WIP (unfinished) where she travels North and reunites with Jon at the Wall, great Sansa voice, really captures her book personality.
Worth The Keeping by @undercovercaptain - the sequel to Beneath my Bones - is a lovely post-parentage reveal exploration. Romance, atmospheric nature descriptions, angst with a soft reward (to quote the author's approach to jonsa) - what more can you want?
Willowy Creature by @esther-dot is a lovely short post-canon happy ending moment. <3
What We Want by @justadram is a lovely jonsa fic from way back in 2013, both dark in its exploration and sweet in its execution. Set in the Vale.
By Firelight by @undercovercaptain (goodness me, how can she be in this list so often, is it because she is amazing??) and it's basically, soft and dreamy Married Idiots in Love in the gentlest way possible.
Safe and Sound by alemoncakelife is an unfinished WIP blending show and book canon post Season 4. Sansa heads North. 21 chapters and lots of plot!
Varg-hamr / Wolf-skin by @undercovercaptain is all about the Girl in Grey from warg!Jon's perspective! Gorgeous, riveting stuff!
That should about cover my new additions! I hope there's something there for you to enjoy!

I am begging (very literally begging) for a longer “A Crown” fic, or if you have any recommendations of fics with similar themes/ideas. I just can’t stop thinking about A Crown and it’s been months since i read it. I still consider it my favorite Jonsa fic (and i’ve read hundreds). Any and all help is welcomed. Thanks a million for this amazing story that’s rotting my brain, i love your work and your writing! :,)
Oh anon! That's so sweet!!
I've debated adding more to that story, because the fallout would be fun to write, you know? But I always fear ruining one shots I really love with sequels, and I don't have the best track record for doing that to canon stories (rip white knuckles, I should've left you as a standalone). I never say never, so maybe some day!
As for fics with the same theme/ideas? That's a tough one!! It's often hard to take a step back from my own fics and compare it to others.
So I'll post this in the Jonsa tag and maybe someone there will have recommendations for "Jon is raised as a Targ prince" fics? I assume you also don't want angst? A crown was pretty lighthearted

Jonsa fam i need your help! I’ve been super into reading modern AU jonsa fics recently which is super opposite to how I’ve always been so I’m looking for any recommendations of your favourites! I’m really down for any tropes or premise, just anything not canonverse you can recommend. Thank you! ❤️🤗

Any Jonsa fic recommendations where there’s no Dany bashing? Or Arya? I love them all & don’t understand why they’re always put against each other (I’m guessing bc of the show). I’ve read many fics where the writing is amazing so I go ahead & read even with the Dany bashing but I’d like to try something new :)

Saw you have recommend the fic "The Thawing of Winter" and omg that's one of my favorite fanfic ever! I think it's the one which started my love for Jon x Alayne.
By the way, if it's not a bother, do you know any Jonsa fanfic similar to "A Winter's Tale"? It's a bookverse fic, canon divergence, kind of book 6+7, so it's very far from the usual canon divergence fics based on the show only. If you have any other recommendation where the plots around season 7+8 are ignored/there's no Jon going to Dragonstone and all that, it would be great too. I find those plots exhausting after the show 😂
I actually don't really distinguish between GoT and ASOIAF fic when reading, so I'm not the best at book verse recs, but these are book verse fics on my tbr and I think they're the kind of thing you're looking for:
Winter in My Blood 39k
Beasts of Seasons 70k, incomplete
Like winter we are cruel 100k
What Lies Beneath Her Skin 100k
A Knight's Watch 670k
The Wolves of Winter 137k, incomplete
I'll also add that @cappymightwrite writes book verse fic (their AO3) and once posted a book verse rec list, @jonisawarg has a book verse fic rec list as well.
Happy reading, anon!

I would like to thank everyone who reblogged my post about Jonsa! All of you tagged it with some variation of “Welcome!” which I think is really sweet. And thank you to those who recommended fics 💖💖

Random. But do you have any star wars fic recs ? Fics recs of any kind are welcome actually ^_^
Oh, uh, sure.
Let's see, I've mentioned @chancecraz a bunch of times, I love all their stuff, if I had to pick a favorite I'd say Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns but how does one really choose?
I've also mentioned @fialleril and Double Agent Vader, which really got me into the SWs fandom in the first place. I love everything I have ever learned, it hits me so hard in the feels each time. (I also really loved Sigyn's Saga if we're also talking not-SW stuff.)
I enjoyed The Desert Sun series by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning. (I will be honest, I have only read the first series I have not started Rise and Fall.) It's engaging and fun and thoughtful.
doing it by my lonesome and staring down the barrel of the hot sun by magneticwave are two fun Luke/Din stories featuring appropriately cute Grogu. I also liked pages filled with scribbled ink, which is an epistolary Padmé/Obi-Wan fic that had me cackling. (their non-SW stuff is good too, I especially enjoyed just me against the sky)
Other...serious(?) recs include: The Wingless Dragon by husborth if you like being sad and horrified about Vader's bad choices. Food Scandal by Malicean for some situational hilarity and for lots of OC perspective on Imperial bureaucracy (my other weakness aside from politics). PRojects IN Controlled Environments by Beth Winters for Imperial R&D bureaucracy, more situational hilarity, and very relatable coworker nonsense.
More silly/fun premises include: Compromising by samvelg, which inspired me to write a (very different) Piett POV of Luke and Vader nonsense. Memo: Jedi Maintenance (The Care and Feeding of Your Jetii) by RainofLittleFishes is exactly what it says and what you would hope for from such a title. Luke Skywalker is Altogether Too Likeable by Mokulule is another Piett POV of Skywalker nonsense.
As far as Non-Star Wars recs
It would be a crime and sin if I didn't mention Embers by Vathara , an Avatar the Last Airbender fic which honestly changed my life and how my brain was shaped.
World Ain't Ready by @idiopathicsmile is a Les Mis fic I've gone back to a few times. The dialogue is just really good. I spend a lot of the fic laughing, and also screaming at the characters.
I fell absurdly in love with Second person familiar, I think because it tickles some part of me that just dies over linguistics, and I'm a fan of pretty much everything @jackironsides has done for The Witcher.
Salvage by @muffinlance is a very fun Avatar the Last Airbender fic about Zuko getting reluctantly adopted by Hakoda (it's so good).
Finding the Line by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday is a Batfam fic that sort of ruined me at one point, it's fine. (I enjoy their other stuff too.)
The Angel of Hell's Kitchen by MarbleGlove is a Daredevil fic. I don't really go here, but this was about social structures, bureaucracy, and doing the work, and we all know I can't help myself.
Reconstruction by rageprufrock is the story of Stephanie Rogers, but like, it's Pru writing it. So. Characters are great. World building is great. Tension and longing and grief are great. I cannot stress enough how good the academic and news article asides are. Like, it's good. Incomplete, but so good.
Ordinary Numbers by BootsnBlossoms and Kryptaria, a James Bond fic that I keep coming back to because I too would be a sucker for someone who sent me needlessly expensive gifts.
And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets is a Supernatural fic about poetry. I am not in this fandom, but again, my weakness for language gets me every time.
ever fallen in love (on national TV)? by ganymede_elegy is a GoT Jonsa modern Bachelor AU and...guys I cannot express how much I Do Not Go here, and how much I still recommend this fic. Like, it's just...I don't know. It worked. In spite of me knowing nothing about GoT or The Bachelor. wtf
survival of the fittest by cywscross is a short Naruto fic about a very unpleasant adventure for Sakura and Shikarmaru that just...worked. As a story. Dunno, I just really like it.
I could be wrong, I could be ready by harryromper is a Harry/Draco fic where they are disasters and traumatized, and it is about healing and building houses as a metaphor for overcoming trauma, and it's fine, I'm fine.
eternity will be born from hope by theseviolentdelights99 is a Yuri!!! on Ice fic that is about a time traveling Yuuri who (you'll never guess) goes back in time and does bureaucracy in his hometown and his sport to help the people that he loves. The unreliable narrator is excellent, the social media asides are wonderful, and it's not complete but it is exactly my poison.
(Wow, this is so long and all over the place...)

i'm new to this ship, can you give me recs of ao3 fics that is a must-read? thanks!
Hi anon!
I'm afraid I'm not a good source for must-read recs. I have a very narrow taste and anything I recommend would inevitably leave out a plethora of wildly beloved and popular stories. There's over eight thousand jonsa stories on AO3, lots of variety, show-based, book-based, AUs of every possible flavor, happy, sad. I am not sure you could credibly identify a "Must-Read" when so much depends on what you personally enjoy?
