“Daddy?”
“Find Jon,” Ned said frantically as the capital guards hovered. They only had minutes before she’d be shoved onto the train.
“Jon? I don’t understand,” Sansa said, frantic.
Ned held his daughter’s face in his hands. “Jon. He’s my sister Lyanna’s. Do you remember her?”
How could Sansa not remember. Lyanna Stark was the only District 12 tribute to have ever won the Hunger Games. Every child in District 12 knew her name. She’d returned home after her victory only to announce that she would marry her primary sponsor—a man from one of the most prominent families in District 1. Ned had always suspected she’d been coerced, but suggesting as much would have only endangered her life. Why do that after everything she’d already survived?
“Her son is the tribute for District 1. Seek him out. He’ll help you.”
“He’ll kill me,” she sobbed. “I’m going to die.”
“Find him, Sansa. Find a way.”

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.
unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
Little Women AU preview from the WIP folder
There were two black leather trunks that sat at the foot of the bed she shared with Arya. Jon had brought them to Winterfell before he left for his training camp, and Sansa liked to keep them close.
They were old, and a little shabby, with the name ‘J. Snow’ stamped on the sides in peeling gold letters. Together they contained the entirety of his life — everything he owned, neatly packed away in moth balls for when he returned.
Sansa wore the keys on a chain around her neck, but had never looked inside them before, not wanting to invade his privacy. But now she just wanted to feel close to him. She sighed and lovingly stroked her fingers over his name before she turned a key in the lock, and lifted a cumbersome lid.
The first held all of his clothes and personal effects. As she took an inventory of its contents, Sansa caressed his wool jackets, and linen shirts, and pressed his neatly folded neck cloths to her cheek. She examined his razor, shaving brush, nail brush, hair brush, wooden comb, and a small pair of silver scissors — then opened the little pots of pomade, and shaving soap, and breathed in their familiar scents of pine and juniper.
At the very bottom was a leather case holding an old ambrotype of a frowning little boy with sticky out ears seated on the lap of a beautiful dark haired lady. She smiled to imagine that handsome Lieutenant Snow was ever so young, though the boy certainly looked grave enough to be her Jon. When she packed everything back neatly into the trunk, she kept the image of Lyanna and Jon out, and stood it on the bureau beside her bed.
Sansa laughed when she opened the second trunk and saw it was full of books! No wonder it was so blasted heavy when she’d tried to move it. How like Jon to travel with so many. She examined the titles on the spines and smiled when she noticed his well worn copy of ‘Aemon the Dragon Knight’ sitting near the very top. It was the same copy he’d asked her to read from, at Gendry’s picnic. She remembered gazing into Jon’s remarkable grey-violet eyes, and how tender and encouraging they had been. She reached for the book and was astounded to find a dainty, white, lace glove tucked between its pages. Her glove.
He’d had it, all this time? She clutched it and the book to her heart, and wept.
Missing isn’t dead. Sansa repeated Arya’s words to herself like a prayer, an incantation, that might summon Jon to her side.
Missing isn’t dead. He will be found, and come home to me.

WIP | I’m not sure where I am going with this illustration yet but… here is the work in progress for now. Everything is jotted down even the ribbon in Sansa’s hand that she had giving to Lady. For anyone wondering, yes Sansa Stark is my favourite and I currently have a few other illustrations jotted down of her and ready to be worked on. The colours may change and the design may change, however for now this is what it looks like. Thank you so much for all the love and comments I have received on my other illustrations, I appreciate them greatly!

He is 33 years old and doesn’t know how to tie his own tie.
He is 33 years old and insurmountably aware of how pathetic it is that he doesn’t know how to tie his own tie.
However, no one can say that shame isn’t a legitimate motivator, because it keeps the tie on his neck as much as the drill sergeant beside him does.
“Stop scowling,” says Sansa, fingers pressing into the inside of his arm.
“I’m not scowling,” Jon mutters back, “This is just my face.”
She beams over her shoulder at the Hornwoods, holding up a single finger, before she turns back toward him.
“Make it not your face,” She says, through shiny, straight teeth.
At the urge to pull at his tie, Jon takes a swig of too sweet champagne, swallowing the taste as well as the wince that follows. He craves beer. The cheap shitty kind that comes in a twelve pack and never fails to make him wish that he was dead the next morning.
“I’m starving,” He says under his breath. “You said there would be food here.”
“There is.” She turns around, plucking from a passing tray. She lifts a tiny little skewer to his mouth with glossy, manicured fingers, “Have a cucumber sandwich.”
“Real food,” Jon just barely gets out, before she takes the opportunity to pop the whole thing in his mouth. It’s cool, bland, and watery in his mouth. He’s about to tell her so when she raises a single eyebrow.
He finishes his food rather than talk and chew at the same time.
Sansa dabs at the corner of his mouth with her pretty little thumb, her approval as condescending as that of someone in possession of a newly house trained puppy.
As soon as they get home, he’s going to spank her.
“This is my event,” He says now, irritable, “Shouldn’t I get to dictate what food we serve?”
“And what would you have everyone eating?” Her head tilts to the side, “Baby back ribs? Brisket? Philadelphia cheesesteaks?”
This time, he does scowl, a flush crawling up his neck.
“At least everyone would leave full.”
“You eat like a teenager. Smile.”
Before Jon can open his mouth to argue, she cuts him off with a smile of her own, white and blinding.
“Smile. Or you’re not getting laid tonight.”
“Bet you I will,” he says, but through a baring of his teeth that feels a lot closer to a grimace than a smile.
Sansa ignores him.
“That wasn’t so hard, now was it silly boy?” She kisses him on the lips lightly. “Keep smiling. Here comes Mr. Manderly. Don’t forget to ask him about his boats.”
She calls over to Mrs. Hornwood, who makes an exclamation of delight at the sight of her. She leaves him to the wolves—one huge, barrel chested congressman that goes by the last name Manderly in particular—without so much as a second glance.
For the millionth time, he wonders why on earth he wants to marry her. But it won’t be long before she reminds him.
Lyanna I
When Jon was small, it was not rare that he was mistaken for a girl. He was short for his age, a bit shy, had long eyelashes, and was very pretty.
This meant that he got away with way too much. He was sneaky enough as it was, but if ever he was caught at something, he’d give the best puppy-eyed look that Lyanna had ever seen- and she’d grown up with Ned.
It was also true that Jon had been a knight at four. Or, at least had tried his very best to be. He’d gotten his first wooden practice sword when he was younger still, and his father had taught him to carve runes into it, for protection, like they still did in the far north. There was one for dragons, and one for ghosts, one for snarks, and so on. And so Jon was rarely scared of there being monsters under his bed. If anything, they ought to be afraid of him.
Now, on Jon starting on his quest to become a knight, it began like this:
