I like to think that Lady enjoyed music as much as Sansa does :D
Moodboard for A Past Worth Having by @mkstrigidae
tired: rockstar jon
wired: Sansa in a moody alternative girl band and Jon being her reluctant groupie
I absolutely adore The Mating Game! Can you please give us a clue or sneak peak at what we can expect next?
Jon makes a phone call, Sansa has a drink, and Margie goes shopping.
.
“It's for a good cause,” Sansa protests weakly, not really loving the look Margie is giving her.
Margie gives a suspicious hum, eyes narrowing. “And this good cause just so happens to come attached to an attractive man...”
“Is he?”
“All brooding, dark eyes and pouty lips...”
“I hadn't noticed,” Sansa tilts her chin up stubbornly, earning an eye roll in response.
“Oh please, even I noticed. And his arms-”
“That's not why I'm doing it!”
!!!
It’s because the only story left to tell is Jon coming to terms with his parentage and returning from beyond the wall to resettle the Gift, meanwhile Sansa had a baby with a mysterious bael the bard type figure. it’s not interesting enough to fill a full hbo season but it would make a great final chapter to a dream of spring just saying
Omg yeeeey!!!
oh my god, they were roommates
or,
Robb agrees to let Sansa stay at his place for the summer.
Robb agrees to let his friend Jon stay at his place for the summer.
Robb forgets to tell either of them this.

sansa’s ableism on the night of her wedding, which she did not consent to, where she was molested and almost sexually assaulted by a grown man who happened to be disabled, is apparently more insidious than ableism exhibited by jon, robb, bronn, jaime, etc. based on the number of essays written about it meant to condemn sansa
boy and girl meet. live parallel lives. and, one day, they start to come together. scenes inspired by all the different types of love for the @jonsa-valentine event 2024.
"Hello? Is anyone home?"
Jon looks up from where he's been sulking in the dark to see one of the Stark girls — the redheaded daughter — standing outside the front door to the guest house. She'd knocked once already, but Jon had ignored it, thinking whoever it was would just go away. Now, he can see she's still out there, silhouette illuminated at the top of the stairs. The porch light catches copper highlights in her hair and makes them glow.
He wonders if she's annoyed she has to knock instead of just letting herself in. Maybe she used to spend a lot of time in the apartment over the Starks' detached garage. Or maybe she never came out here. Maybe her bedroom in that fancy old house is already so big and private she never bothers to explore anywhere else.
"Hello?" she calls again. "Mrs. Snow?"
When Jon finally answers the door, flicking on the living room light as he goes, he sees that the girl — Sansa, he thinks — hasn't come empty-handed. In her arms is a ceramic dish full of some sort of baked good, little tarts or custards with cooked lemon slices on top.

He’s barely dated enough girls to subscribe to a type, and loathes the idea of being predictable enough to have one, but it doesn’t exactly take rocket science to understand that whatever that type is, Sansa Stark is definitively Not It.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
She has a picture of her winning Miss Teen Pennsylvania on her dresser in her cluttered little single freshman dorm and the social media christened title of Miss Bamarush and a personalized, monogrammed jewelry box that could have very well paid a solid chunk of her tuition if her parents weren’t already doing it for her and more pink clothes than he thought was physically possible.
She carries a tiny sewing kit in her bag. Like an actual sewing kit.
Everything she knows about football is against her will.
When he asked her—with no small amount of surprise, he’ll admit, though it was completely unintentional—You got into Yale?—she stared at him, mouth curling into a sneer that was sugary sweet, It wasn’t like it was hard.
From that very moment, she decided she couldn’t stand him, which he supposed was fair.
The sex is insane.
*
She’s got this cross necklace, a flash of 22 karat gold just between her breasts. It triggers something like a Pavlovian response in him after they hit the two month mark, makes his mouth water and his breath quicken. It brushes cold against his chest whenever she rides him.
Jon is 20 when he recalls why sex makes people do the craziest things.
Eight years of gymnastics, she says, a little haughtily, when he marvels at the limberness of her body. She folds her legs perfectly over his shoulders so she can open wider, presses her knee almost flat against her stomach just so he can be deeper, arches her back when he’s behind her because they are now so in tune with what the other likes.
She likes his mouth, on her throat, sewing hickeys into her skin like glittering red sequins, and bracketed by her thighs when she straddles his face from above. Oh please, she snaps, when she’s just about had it with him and she’s gonna let him know, then: Please, muffled into her arm when his hands are on her hips and he’s pulling her back onto him.
He likes messing her up. He likes tossing her prissy little headbands to the side and leaving a rash from his stubble between her legs and shoving down her tube top and winding her hair around his hand, making it known on her body that he was here, even if the assholes stumbling over their feet on campus can’t see them, he knows—
He knows.
“You’re the worst,” She grumbles, dabbing concealer on her neck before she heads back to her dorm in time to get ready for date night.
Roaring 20’s is the theme.
Her flapper dress is the color of starlight. She tried it on in front of his mirror, and he pretended to do his homework while she twirled in front of the mirror.
He didn’t know what he liked better—when she didn’t know he was watching or when she pretended not to notice.
“You could stay,” he offers, casual, like his heart isn’t in his throat, like she isn’t under his skin.
Sansa’s gaze slides over to him in the mirror as she strategically drapes her hair around her neck.
He breaks first, looking away.
This happens a lot with her.
“If I did,” She says, voice lilting and airy, “You’d never get anything done.”
Probably not. Then, as she makes his way towards him, he amends that, “Definiteky not.”
Sansa kisses him, soft and brief, tasting of cherry chapstick and him.
“Thanks,” it’s sweet and it’s quiet and it’s sincere and that’s probably the worst part of all, because that’s just who she is. It probably means nothing.
He doesn’t even want it to.
She isn’t even his type.
