Do you have any HCs on Ghost/Jon’s bond? I’d love to hear them because I don’t think the show does it justice.

          hello friend, thank you for asking! unfortunately i will disappoint you, though, because i really don’t… for one simple reason — i use headcanons to fix/complement canon when i personally believe it is needed. in the case, while i completely agree the show does not deserve Ghost AT ALL, i think the books do a wonderful job at portraying his bond with Jon, which is why i never really needed to add much more. i will however point out some of my favorite moments:

during the royal visit to Winterfell, Jon snatching literally half a chicken from the squires’ and pages’ table to feed to Ghost instead because u guys don’t need this it’s for my puppy;

Jon making Ghost knock over Tyrion, which was such a dick move back in this boy’s bully days, yes, BUT IT WAS HILARIOUS SUE ME;

that one moment Sam is crying and Jon is flailing internally because he has -23 skills of comforting people and so Ghost goes and licks Sam’s face all over till he’s laughing;

Jon showing Longclaw’s pommel to Ghost and saying look it’s you;

Jon & Ghost finding that stash of dragonglass by the Fist of the First Men, this is literally the reason why we know that dragonglass can kill Others;

Jon refusing to leave Ghost behind after Orell’s attack, even if that meant making someone of the importance of Qhorin Halfhand wait for half a day;

every single warg in Mance’s camp being in awe of Ghost because DAMN THIS BABY CROW HERE HAS SUCH A MAJESTIC BEAUTIFUL POWERFUL COMPANION WOW;

Jon using Ghost as a last mean to keep his own little eager hands from Ygritte and Ghost just probably like kiss her u fool;

Jon asking Ghost if the direwolves have names for the stars;

JON SAYING GOODBYE TO GHOST BECAUSE HE CANNOT CLIMB THE WALL AND MAYBE THEY WILL NEVER REUNITE AGAIN;

JON AND GHOST REUNITING AGAIN THE NIGHT JON IS ELECTED LORD COMMANDER;

Jon canonically has a little rug for Ghost to sleep on by the hearth in the old armory;

Ghost already as a hugeass direwolf the size of a pony rolling around the piles of fresh snow like a pup while Jon watches in awe;

Jon seething @ Borroq’s boar because don’t u dare come near my boy i’ll fite u myself;

Jon whispering Ghost’s name seconds before he dies.

also, to close: i personally write Jon as keeping his warging abilities even in my show only threads and plots.
