Summary
When Jon and Sansa arrive at Seabluff Keep to attend a weeklong nameday celebration, she believes three things very firmly: their hosts are hoping for a betrothal between her and their eldest son; she will never ever become a wife; and though she loves Jon will all her heart, he doesn’t feel the same. As the week progresses, however, she gets proven wrong about a thing or two.
Set after s8, in a timeline where Jon wasn’t exiled but returned home and resumed ruling the North.

Summary
The day the dead came, a winter storm swept over the battlefield. No one saw how the living won–or what happened to Jon. Some think he fell when taking down the Night King, others that he succumbed to the elements. But Arya knows in her heart her brother’s alive.
At least Tormund joins her every day in searching the Wolfswood, while Sansa seems all too content ruling in Jon’s stead. Every day she hides behind work and keeps to herself, as if hoping Arya won’t see the awful truth beneath her carefully wrought mask: Sansa doesn’t want him to be found. At least not alive.
Arya’s sure of it–until she witnesses something that challenges that belief and has her reexamining what she’s learned since returning home.
A post s6 Jonsa story through the eyes of Arya. Jon never sailed south. Starts at the end of the battle against the NK.

Summary
After everything that's happened, Jon wants to move on from the past and live out his days as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. After everything that's happened, Sansa still loves Jon, but does he feel the same? He never accepts her invitations to visit. Perhaps it's time she moves on. She does have to marry, after all, and have heirs. But then something brings him back to Winterfell. And he keeps returning, keeping an eye on her while also unknowingly keeping her love for him alive when he’s determined to keep his vows this time. His vow to protect her, aye, but also to remain Lord Commander, take no wife, father no children. As a kinslayer, that shouldn't be too hard. Who'd want him, anyway?
A post s8 story where she’s deeply in love and desperately trying to hide it while he’s deep in denial and desperately trying to keep his distance.

Summary
She doesn't know the strange man before her. He could be anyone. An ally as well as an enemy. But there's something in the way he smells, beneath the miasma of blood and mud and sweat and death, that tells her everything will be all right if only they stay together. As if her body remembers what her mind does not.
After the Long Night, the people at Winterfell lose their memories. In the days following, they try to deal with the aftermath of a war they don't remember, with people they don't remember. Everyone believes the pretty lady with the red hair and the man with the wolf sword are king and queen of the castle. And they do feel drawn to one another. They do feel a bond and a powerful attraction they try their hardest to fight because they don't know, do they, what they truly are to one another. What if they give in and it turns out they're not married at all?This fic starts after the Long Night and takes place between canon scenes up until the end and continues post canon where we'll get a happily ever after.

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.)
