    Summary

    "Forgotten by all until your story is written; until the trees laugh once more; until she lays blue roses in your lap. Enjoy my gift, nephew.” 
    High in the halls of the kings who are gone, Jon is alone with his curse. The years pass and seasons come and go. Then she appears in a rainstorm.

    Also, my apologies for butchering a perfectly good song lyric.

    Summary

    Colonel Jon Targaryen is a single man in possession of a good fortune who claims no interest in finding himself a wife. With his war wounds, he thinks no young lady would want him anyway for anything beyond the allure of his pocketbook.

    Fortunately and unbeknownst to him, Fate has chosen to find a wife for him and will even deliver her right to his doorstep.

    Taking on the responsibility of shepherding a young lady about for a Season in London is not at all what Jon had wished to do but he had accepted out of a sense of familial duty. However, once he meets Sansa again after only having met her years ago as a child, he may not consider it a duty so much as a torment.

    Summary

    Jon speaks the words of the Kingsguard kneeling in a sept of seven glass walls before seven southron gods that are not his own. Barristan Selmy touches his sword to either of Jon’s shoulders and Jon swears to serve a king he hates, to forsake lands and titles and to never sire sons or know a woman’s touch. “Stand vigil till morning,” Selmy tells him when it is done, and drapes a white cloak over his shoulders. “We will have need of you at the crowning of good King Joffrey and Queen Sansa.”

    TLDR: AU where Jon goes to Kingslanding instead of the Wall, there’s no war, and he becomes a knight of the kingsguard even as Joffrey marries Sansa. As Joffrey’s true colors inevitably show Jon is forced to choose between southern chivalry and northern duty.

    Summary

    “It would be most beneficial if we didn’t cross paths with him at all tonight.” The command lessened in his tone as Cas shifted his gaze back to her.

    She quirked an eyebrow. “Are we suddenly pacifists now?” Her arms fell back to her sides, exasperated. “Again!” And then, Meg felt like she was burning.

    An intensity ignited in Cas’ eyes as he trailed over every speckle of blood and bruise that was visible on her skin. He curled his fingers gently around her wrist and raised it closer to his eye level, studying the gauze. Slowly, he looked up through his lashes. “Yes.”

    A strangled gasp slipped from Meg’s mouth, but Cas didn’t acknowledge it as he glanced back to her wrist, worrying about his handiwork.

    “I asked Dean to buy more bandages,” he confessed. “I hope he remembers. This will need to be rewrapped later.”

    Her lips trembled at the timbre of his voice. “Why do you have to look at me like that?”

    “Like what?” Cas raised a coy eyebrow.

    Summary

    But she’d felt something when she had kissed him in the hallway, when he had pushed her up against the wall and held her with something close to reverence. Something in his chapped lips and sky-blue eyes brought to mind a feeling holier than lust, something she hadn’t felt for a long time. It felt like falling.
