    I'll admit I love the idea of a pairing that involves Jon and Sansa: I think they make a good team in taking care of their people, and they are both characters that were caught by delusions of heroism and stories worth telling, only to be beaten by life...

    BTW, this is truly a great story, it's not easy to present Jon's past life in an harmonic complex to tell your tale, but you are very good at it!

      I enjoy Jon/Sansa as well, especially where the characters are at in the show. This sansa will have a much different life then show sands. Where it comes to this story I cant say what pairings will arise as I am focusing on family rather than romance and have no concrete pairing plans for Jon and most his siblings at this point. If a pairing pops up I will warn at the beginning of the section it does so in.

      I'm very glad you like the story and how I am working the flashbacks in! I am trying not to force them. I found I somehow missed comment notification for some chapters so sorry for the late and out of order responses.

        I am very relieved at that tbh. (I know I’m very late, but) I personally tolerate the pairing, I don’t hate it, but I still feel weird because they are technically raised as siblings. And would prefer a more familial relationship with all the starks. So I’m glad that you are doing a more smart and genuine move (in my opinion and biases) with focusing more on the family aspect instead of romance.

        Also since it makes sense that maybe in one life they had a blossoming romantic relationship, but on the later ones I just don’t see how the power imbalance won’t be a problem, ethically. Especially now since she’s a young girl who’s gonna spend more time with him (with the changes in the story). Though I suppose that’s just me being picky *shrug*, I honestly usually have issues with a number of time travel stories involving romance for this reason. The time traveller always has an upper hand and it’s even more suspect when they use it to court/seduce the love interest into their life.

        Love the story though! I’ve heard good things and so far I have to agree with them. This is really well written
