it's not a red string of fate those two are bound by dog collars and a steel chain

Jon Snow & Arya Stark

[thestarkswillendure]

As he rode, Jon peeled off his glove to air his burned fingers. Ugly things. He remembered suddenly how he used to muss Arya's hair. His little stick of a sister. He wondered how she was faring. It made him a little sad to think that he might never muss her hair again.

— Jon II, ACOK

Jon had their father's face, as she did. They were the only ones.

[thestarkswillendure]

I find it so funny when people try to hide the fact the last thing Jon did before dying was thinking of his connection with Arya.

That he waged war for Arya.

That he died for Arya.

It wasn't for the freefolk, and it wasn't for the Northern Houses.

It was for Arya and Arya alone.

Every time I come across edits be it on TikTok, or discussions on Quora or reddit and even on Tumblr they specifically cut every quote of him that mentions her name. And when it's citated, more often than not, is out of context.

But hey. Maybe it's only a coincidence.

[thestarkswillendure]

I love the idea of Jon having a hyperfixation with Arya when he returns and, when the two of them reunite, they have a line-blurring affection for one another, spurred on by a fear of being apart again

S-someone write this for me lol...

Ramsay: I want Reek, my bride, Val, Selyse, Shireen, Mance's child, and send the red woman to me, too, while we're at it. Don't give them to me and I'll rip out your fucking heart and eat it. We don't want that, now do we, bastard?

Jon: ...

Jon: ....

Jon: .....

Jon: Your bride...?

[thestarkswillendure]

they were the only ones

[thestarkswillendure]

Arya took after their lord father. Her hair was a lusterless brown, and her face was long and solemn.

Jon had their father's face, as she did. They were the only ones. […] When Arya had been little, she had been afraid that meant that she was a bastard too. It had been Jon she had gone to in her fear, and Jon who had reassured her.
