Cersei when the plot to kill Robert succeeds

[dontbipanicjonsa]

do u think "she will be kissing the Stranger, begging for his kiss" could be jonsa foreshadowing?

The actual line from Cersei's chapter is: "She is not dead . . . but before I am done with her, I promise you, she will be singing to the Stranger, begging for his kiss." (Cersei IV, AFFC)

On the surface level, of course, Cersei is suggesting that Sansa will be begging for her death by the time she gets her hands on her (and subjects her to torture). But with a series like as/oiaf there are other layers of foreshadowing happening through symbolism. Right after Cersei says this, the conversation turns towards the Northern plot with f!Arya/Jeyne and an assassination plot for Jon. Cersei refers to both Sansa and Jon being treasonous taking after Ned. At the very least, this falls under a couple of passages that suggest Sansa's and Jon's storylines will coincide. Possibly with the Grey Girl theory.

Could that symbolic meaning be stretched to something more romantic? It's possible.

The Stranger is the god of death but also the unknown. Jon's parentage being secret (even from himself) could uniquely qualify him for the Stranger. Consider how Jaime approaches the characterisation of the Stranger:

The Stranger in the shadows, his half-human face concealed beneath a hooded mantle. I thought that I was the Warrior and Cersei was the Maid, but all the time she was the Stranger, hiding her true face from my gaze. (Jaime IV, AFFC)

Of course, there are many characters who share characteristics with the Stranger. It is the Westerosi name for the Many Faced God amongst the Faceless Men so that ties it to Arya. Daavos describes the Stranger at Dragonstone to be "carved to look more animal than human", which could extend to the warging Starklings. Sansa herself plays the Stranger in King's Landing in guarding her motivations and the Vale all with a new identity.

Certainly a part of the fandom will have you believe it's about the Sandor because his horse is named Stranger even though that would defeat the purpose of his redemption arc. Sansa's arc does have the theme of Beauty and the Beast but the Hound is just one amongst many other Beasts in her story who have let her down. All of that suggests they are all foils to a final Beast in her story. And once you start thinking about Jon/Sansa as a possibility because of RLJ, it makes a lot of unresolved pieces fall into place.

What exactly does your username mean? I understand bi panic but is it like a headcanon that both Jon and Sansa are bi or a statement that both Kit and Sophie being creates bi panic or a secret third option?

Anon that's a good question and unfortunately I've forgotten the exact answer 😬😂

i think it was mostly an instruction to myself lol. GoT is filled with objectively attractive people. I saw the show (and created this account) and fully figured out my bi-ness around the same time (both were a long time coming.) I was probably telling myself -> "don't bi panic 🫵🏻" "also. JONSA 🫵🏻"

And yes I do love to hc that jon and sansa are bi so it all comes together. I doubt grrm meant it that way but the material is certainly there, open for our interpretation.

There's hardly any canon grounds for it (yet) but personally I'm low key still waiting for the briensa renaissance 👀

JANE EYRE AUs

no net ensnares me 3k

It’s just before Christmas that Jon truly realizes what trouble he’s in. He’d been able to delude himself for a time, insisting that he and Lady Sansa were only friends, but towards the end of December he has to brave the truth--that he’s falling for her. It’s not love yet, perhaps, but close enough that Jon knows what he feels, and how strongly he feels it. Or, a Jane Eyre inspired AU where Jon is the tutor that's come to Winterfell manor to teach Sansa's nephews, and falls in love with his distant employer.

No coward soul is mine 6k

During the ceremony that will join him in marriage to the legal guardian of his pupil, Rickon Stark, Jon Snow makes a shocking discovery. For the honor of the woman he loves, he will have to display the courage to act improperly for the right reason.

NORTH & SOUTH AUs

the subtle grace of gravity 7k WIP

The Stark title falls to Sansa as the only remaining Stark and she returns north to Winterfell after over a decade in the south. In her absence, Jon has transformed the town and become a wealthy gentleman. Slowly, Sansa tries to build a new life for herself and discover who she is again.

North and South .5k, incomplete

The industrial revolution in England has caused a shift in the fortunes of the poor and the rich. Sansa discovers the plight of such when her father moves their family from the beautiful south of Helstone to the drab and rough North that is Milton. She is introduced to the aloof, brooding and proud Jon Targaryen a mill owner in Milton and they clash over ideals and philosophies. However that will not last long, once Jon has set his heart and eyes on Sansa, the headstrong and noble daughter of the Stark household.

Beloved Monster 14k by @amymel86

“An acquaintance of mine can settle all your debts,” the man says, still not looking at Harrold as he makes his offer. Sansa is stunned. Glancing to Harry, she can tell he is too. Her hand absentmindedly reaches up to her neck, tips of her fingers whispering over the bare skin where her mother’s garnet necklace used to sit. Coming out of his momentary stupor, Harry shakes his head. “Sir, I thank you for the offer but my debts are significant and I doubt your acquaintance will-“ “He has the means to cover it all and is happy to do so.” “I-...” her husband scratches at the back of his head. “Repayment will be.... slow. I do not have the means to-“ “Repayments will not be necessary.” Sansa frowns. This is surely some sort of entrapment for her husband. Is he bright enough not to fall for it? Who is this gentleman and who is this acquaintance of his that seemingly wants to throw away his money on a scoundrel like her husband? Harry’s brow furrows. “No repayments? Then what does your friend want in return?” The gentleman’s gaze flicks over Sansa’s form again. “Your wife.”

“Some lucky fellow piqued your interest, darling?” Margaery smirked, taking back the offered glasses and peering through them. “The Targaryens?” She lowered the opera glasses and raised one perfect brow as she turned to face Sansa. “Good breeding, old name, if we set a contract with the eldest, Aegon, you’ll be rather comfortable. Unfortunately, I’ve no knowledge of the man himself or his appetites in the bedroom, so I’m unable to guide you there, my dear.” “Which one is the eldest?” Sansa asked, her eyes trained on the dark-haired Targaryen. "The one with the dashing silver hair.” "Oh.” Sansa felt Margaery’s eyes on her again. “You favour the spare over the heir? As a woman of business, I should advise you against it and turn you towards a more lucrative arrangement... but as a woman of pleasure, I say there’s nothing wrong with a bit of fun.” corresponding gif by @readingisloving and corresponding edits 1, 2 by @thelegendofclarke 3 by @kitten1618x and 4 by @dena-1984

Perpetually Estranged 60k WIP (many thanks to @caitnan for this rec!)

Ever since she was a little girl, Lady Sansa Stark had dreamed of the day she would come down to London and present herself at court in a beautiful gown, spending the Social Season in Town, partying the nights away. And this year, it seems as though she will finally get her wish. This is everything she has ever wanted, surrounded by such luxury and decadence, in the company of fashionable ladies, and having handsome men flock around her in the marriage mart. The only downside is being reunited with her sullen, moody cousin, the Prince Jon Targaryen, and come face to face with their past. “Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.”

Anon, I do find this very funny, but I honestly doubt I'd ever write a fic about characters writing fic

BUT, I do know fics like that exist, but for the life of me I can't seem to find them, because unfortunately searching the tag on ao3 for "fanfic" or "fanfiction" or even "writing" brings up any story where the author uses that word in the notes or tags or summary, and I don't feel like reading through hundreds of summaries sooooo I can't list any here. But I'll pop it in the jonsa tag to see if anyone else remembers them, because I KNOW I've seen those
