    Jon and Daenerys' supporters debate the use of blood magic to attempt Jon's resurrection but Daenerys convinces them to proceed. Lyanna Stark appears to Daenerys in a dream telling her she will help Jon to return. Daenerys sentences Alliser Thorne to death and Ned beheads him. In Kings Landing, Baelish is helping Tywin Lannister to adulterate King Robert's wine and keep him sedated, as well as searching for other ways to obstruct Ned Stark's agenda. Ser Barristan asks Varys to help keep the tainted wine away from the king.

Benjen and Addam share their thoughts on the loneliness of being a soldier. Arya is confined after having tried to go to Castle Black. Melisandre performs the procedure to bring Jon back, burning Dany's blood, Jon's blood, and ice from the Wall. Early the next morning when the fire has nearly gone out, Jon gasps and wakes, startling everyone. Back at the Midnight Fortress, daughter Lyanna tells Ayla that the wolf Nymeria is now happy and no longer mourning.
    Gilly is afraid of being persecuted for being Craster's daughter. Tyrion has turned Cersei's spies and is giving them misinformation. Addam and Ned argue over whether to tell Jon about his true pedigree.
    Varys plans to remove King Robert once Ned Stark returns to Kings Landing. Illyrio Mopatis heads for the Blessed Isle and Daenerys. Maester Aemon interrogates Addam and figures out that Jon is one head of the Dragon, and Daenerys may be the second, but doesn't know the third. Sam and Gilly head back to the Blessed Isle bringing books from Maester Aemon.

    Ella talks to Ned about Harrenhall, and Rhaegar's plot to gather support to overthrow Aerys. Apparently Rhaegar also discovered Robert's plot of a rebellion against the Targaryens. Ned plans to for the crown to be passed to Jon when Joffrey's illegitimacy is exposed. Maester Luwin overhears them. Ayla learns exactly what happened to Jon at Castle Black.
    Ned and Ella learn that the Citadel maesters have been plotting against the Targaryens and their sympathizers, seek destruction of any magic, fomented the rebellion. They poisoned Ned and Ella's first child who died shortly after birth. Ned is irate and distraught. Ella tells Robb about his sister who died, implying that she is not Jon's mother. Benjen tells Ned that he will help him exact vengeance.

    Olenna learns about the reality of White Walkers and wights from Margaery. Archmaester Marwyn at the Citadel receives a raven from Maester Luwin at Winterfell and starts to quietly investigate. Jon and Ned head back to the Midnight Fortress and then Ned and Ella go on to Kings Landing.
    Ned continues to investigate the assassination attempt on Cregamn and Little Addam, and has a serious talk with Robert about his deportment.
    A spice merchant in Kings Landing is put on trial for the attempted murder of Ned's son. The merchant has been framed by Littlefinger who has also bought witnesses against him. Sansa, Arya, and Rickon visit Catelyn.
    Varys knows that it must be Littlefinger behind the assassination attempts but doesn't know why right now. Varys knows about the frame on the spice merchant but decides not to intervene. He also knows Jon's true pedigree. Robb gives Margaery a horse for pre-wedding gift and Margaery leaves Highgarden for her Kings Landing wedding. Sam announces his engagement to Gilly on his nameday.

    Summary

    What if the three White Knights, guarding the Tower of Joy knew of Ned Stark's search for his sister. What if they were able to meet him in secret and concoct a plan to keep the new-born King safe until he could reclaim his rightful throne.
    Jon (Aegon Targaryen) grows up, helped by a small group that secretly prepares Westeros for the restoration of the Targaryen dynasty. As he comes of age, Jon gradually takes charge of his own destiny.

    This is a Jon-centric story where he claims his birthright and has dragons. Daenerys' life is vastly different compared to canon. She will meet Jon without having conquered Essos and has a long way to go before becoming a dragonrider in her own right. Endgame, however, will be a happy Jonerys riding dragons together and ruling as equals.

    Ch 47, 652985 | Ch 50, 702874
    Ch 51, 717856

    Ch 01: Receiving an urgent plea from his sister Lyanna, Ned travels to Dorne with some of his bannermen. At a small inn, they meet a stranger ( identified only as White) who knows Lyanna's fate and where she is.
    Ch 02: Ned arrives at Winterfell with his new wife Catelyn and his firstborn son and heir Robb. As Catelyn settles into her new home, Ned meets with Maester Luwin on sensitive matters. Ned resolves to get to know his new wife better and comes to her bed with love and passion. Ned meets with Benjen who informs him of the arrangements for Jon at Driftmark where Howland Reed arranged for him to live as an adopted grandson of Lord and Lady Velaryon. Three of the Kingsguard will live at Driftmark to protect Jon. Prince Doran receives a crate delivered by a northern vessel (Manderly) from Kings Landing containing a chained Gregor Clegane and an anonymous message sent from the Wall. Doran directs Oberyn to make discreet inquiries to find out who their secret allies are and any weaknesses in the current regime.
    Ch 03: Benjen travels to Greywater Watch under the pretense of collecting taxes and recruits for the Nights Watch. He travels as liaison between the Warden of the North and the Nights Watch but has not actually taken the vows as a black brother. At Greywater, Benjen finds a well-adjusted and exuberant five year old Jon and two of his guards. Jon is being fostered after the death of his grandparent on Driftmark. Lord Reed believes Jon is very safe there and can more easily develop any magical powers such as warging. Sandor Clegane is approached by Benjen Stark, Greatjon Umber, and Oswell Whent, and successfully recruited to kidnap his brother Gregor from Kings Landing.
    Ch 04: A year before Benjen's visit to Greywater Watch, Sansa is born at Winterfell. In the late stages of pregnancy, Catelyn argues for Robb being brought up to worship the Seven but Ned demands that Robb worship the Old Gods. Ned is worried about what to do with Jon now that Lord Velaryon is gravely ill. (Catelyn is now aware of Jon's identity). Ned directs Maester Luwin to send ravens to the other houses of the North, the other Wardens, and the capital, announcing the birth of his daughter. He also asks that a meeting be arranged with some of the northern lords at the home of Lord Forrester. Ser Arthur Dayne is sent to Summerhall by Lord Reed whose greenseer abilities have shown him a hidden cache of dragon eggs. Ser Arthur finds three eggs.
    Ch 05: Several years later, Ned, Wyman Manderly, Howland, and two of the Kingsguard meet at Greywater Watch. They discuss progress of rebuilding the defenses at Moat Cailin as well as those of the coasts of the Crown should try to attack them. They are also building glass gardens at most of the northern castles to help with food supplies should they be cut off from the Reach. Ned also informs them that he may soon have to tell the other northern lords about Jon to alleviate any hurt feelings at having the secret kept from them. They discuss the wildling situation as there have been several raids south of the wall. Lord Manderly updates them on the project of building a navy and recruiting seaman. Ned suggests expanding their group by bringing Davos Seaworth, Sandor Clegane, and Ser Barristan Selmy into their confidence. They were unable to decide whether Varys should be recruited and postponed a decision. Ned's suggestion of telling Oberyn Martell meets with some resistance so they postpone that decision also. They evaluate and are pleased with Jon's education and weapons training at this point (he is 10yo). They discuss whether Daenerys and Viserys are being supplied with sufficient funds for living safely in the Free Cities. In a smaller group, Ned, Benjen and Howland decide to let Robb foster at Greywater Watch with Jon so they can meet each other. They also plan to tell Jon about his true identity next year and take him to the Wall to evaluate the dragon eggs with Maester Aemon. Varys is irritated by King Robert's weak and ineffective small council. He is also puzzled by several mysteries: the unknown ends of three of the Targaryen Kingsguards, the apprehension of Gregor Clegane by the Dornish, and the disappearance of Lord Tywin Lannister. Varys is puzzled by all these mysteries and more but suspects that the North may have been involved in all of them.
    Ch 06: Robb arrives at Greywater Watch and bonds with Jon. Jon is envious of Robbs family and home. Jon and Robb have different sword fighting techniques but are well matched in age and experience. However Jon had better teachers and he defeats Robb who isn't used to losing. Robb tells Jon that he overheard plans for them going together to Winterfell. Jon tells Robb about his dog Max that he is "bonded" with.

Varys gives Illyrio the two dragon eggs he has hidden since Rhaegar's children were killed. The small council meets and decides that it should prepare for war but must wait for King Robert to return.

Ned charges Theon with the protection of his family before leaving for the Wall. Theon is humbled and proud to do so. Before Ned leaves for the Wall, Catelyn receives a raven announcing the arrival of her brother Edmure from Riverrun. Edmure wants to find out the truth behind the North's independence. Ned gives Catelyn permission to tell him about Jon's parents and mission but cautions her to do it privately. When the Tyrells receive news that their daughter Margaery will be betrothed to Robb Stark, they are very happy and start making preparations right away for their trip to Winterfell. The Martells also receive the message from Ned that accepts Sansa's proposed betrothal to Trystane. Daenerys and Jon make passionate love after their sword training.

    Summary

    For years Sansa has ruled the North, wisely, justly, capably--and utterly alone. Everyone tells her she needs an heir; all she wants is a family. But after everything she’s suffered, there’s only one man she trusts won’t use her for her claim. Only one she trusts with her body. Unfortunately, she trusts him in no other way--especially not with her heart.

    For years Jon’s hidden in the far north, choosing solitude over the people he loves, choosing self-exile as punishment rather than atoning. But then Tormund tires of his moping and drags Jon back to Winterfell where guilt and consequences and a tempting offer await him.

    A story in which Jon and Sansa reunite after five years and enter an arrangement despite having unresolved issues between them. Post canon. (Not an arranged marriage fic.)
