Chapter Text
King's Landing: Throne Room: two weeks ago: “Tell the King in the North that if he wishes to remain the King in the North he must send one of his siblings to become my betrothed and later King Consort” Daenerys said in her queenly tone to the Northern representative. “The King has only one pure blooded brother and he is a cripple who can not bear children-” the stout Northern man says before being interrupted by the Queen. “Pure blooded?”, “Well, there is another, Ned Stark’s bastard Jon Snow. He is not worthy of you Your Grace, he disgraced his father’s name when he abandoned his place at the Night’s Watch, especially after his father threw everything away to be there with him.”, “He is a son of Ned Stark, brother to the King in the North, that makes him an eligible bachelor. Despite what he has done he has been pardoned by his brother has he not?”, “Yes, Your Grace” said the Northman as his face turned a deep red at hearing the Bastard of Winterfell would be marrying the Queen of the Six Kingdoms. “I am a Karstark, Your Grace. So close to the Starks that my ancestors took their name, I have many sons-” the Northman said before being cut off once more by the young Queen. “Yes, you and your sons are Karstarks. Not Starks, not the brothers of the King in the North. Tell the ‘Young Wolf’ to send this Jon Snow to the South or I will send my Unsullied, Dothraki, and my Dragons to the North” Dany said with finality in her tone leaving no room for the tomato faced Northmen to say anything but, “Yes, your grace I shall ride for Winterfell immediately to tell the King” the Northman said through his clenched teeth. He then turned to leave and deliver the news to his King.
“I’m sorry, Jon. This is the only way. Who knows maybe she’ll be kind-” Robb said before Jon interrupted him. “She is ‘The Mother of Dragons’ fire-breathing fucking dragons Robb I don’t think she’s going to want to cuddle and share stories about our childhoods.” Jon said with venom laced in his voice angry with his brother, no his cousin for selling him like an old mule. “I know she can be kind and sweet even Arya has said so herself, but you know why I can’t marry her. She is the queen of the six kingdoms she will be expected to bare children, heirs. You weren’t there when fath-, when my uncle and your father told me the truth. The truth of my parentage, Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark are my parents which means she is my aunt.” Jon said to his cousin pleading with him to understand.
King's Landing one year ago : The room had hundreds of people all watching him, waiting for him to move. Slowly he got done on one knee and swore the oath he knew by heart. When he looked up all he saw was that smug bastard. As he rose he cleared his throat to make a request of his new “king.” “I request to take the Black” The whole room let out a loud gasp shocked that a high lord such as himself would throw everything away.
“Why would I let you do that?” said the false bastard king. “Because” Ned said as he ascended the steps to the Iron Throne not to talk to the boy sitting on it but to the woman standing behind him. “You and I both know he has no right to that throne, you want the best for your bastard and I want what’s best for mine” he said whispering into the lioness’ ear. Cersei turns to Joffrey and whispers to him. He doesn't know what she said to him but all it took was three words from the bastard king “Take him away” and he was off. Off to take the Black so he could finally relieve himself of the secret his sister thrust upon him all those years ago.
“I know Jon-” Robb said only to be interrupted by Jon once more. “No you don’t know. You don’t know what it’s like to be lied to your entire life to find out that you are a fucking prince after being treated like shit your entire life, to feel like shit your entire life-” Jon said with hot tears streaming down as his cousin pulls him into a hug. Jon continued to cry into his cousins shoulder letting out all of the frustration he’d held ever since that day outside Castle Black in front of the gods wood
Castle Black: Godswood ten months ago: He stood there at the gate waiting for his father, when he’d heard he had taken the Black leaving Winterfell to Robb he’d been shocked even more so when he heard his father was behind the recurring rumor the Dowager Queen was fucking her brother and her children weren’t the late King Robert’s but her twin brother’s. The gates are opening Jon can see his father riding in with some Lannister men to escort him there, weird. Ned looked a little worse for wear but that’s to be expected going from the Southern heats to the icy winds the wall held.
Lord Commander Mormont spoke to him, gave him his cloak, and showed him to his room. After all of this was said and done Jon was bounding up the stairs to meet with his father and to ask if the rumor was true. As Jon was running across the boardwalk he bumped into his father coming out of his new room. “Oh, I was just coming to find you.” Ned said with a small smile on his face. “I was just doing the same.” said Jon taking in his father who he had not seen for quite some time. Upon looking at his father the anger, the betrayal he felt towards his father for lying to him. “We should talk” his father said taking the words right out of his mouth. “I know just the place” Jon said as he turned around and began walking to the Godswood.
“I spoke my vows here” Jon said taking in the tree and all its beauty. “They had me do my vows before the ‘King’”, “Is it true, is he not the King's son?” , “He is not” “Just another bastard then aye?” Jon said to the man about to shatter his entire world. “You’re not a bastard”, “Father-” Jon said before Ned interrupted him. “You’re not a bastard and you’re not my son, you’re nephew.” Ned felt such relief being able to finally rid himself of the dreaded secret that was constantly threatening to rip him in half. “W-w-what are you talking about?” Jon said feeling confused as to why his father would say something like that. “Gods I’ve kept this secret so long I don’t know how to tell you. Rhaegar Targaryen is your father and Lyanna Stark is your mother, my sister. They were married by the High Septon which makes you were never my son and you were never a bastard. In fact you’re the true heir to the Iron Throne. Robert’s Rebellion was built on a lie, Rhaegar didn’t rape or kidnap my sister. If Robert actually knew her he’d know my sister, your mother was not the damsel in distress type. In fact Arya reminds of her a bit-” Ned getting lost in his reminiscing of his sister not seeing the horrified look on his face. “You’re lying, tell me you’re lying-” Jon said with disbelief, rage, confusion, and hurt. “I’m sorry Jon, Jon!” Ned screamed at Jon but it was too late he was already gone. What he didn’t know was Jon was packing his bag that very instant.
Winterfell Present: “It’s okay Jon, let out. You’ve been holding this in for nine months, let it. I don’t care if we don’t have the same parents you are my brother, Sansa and Arya are your sisters just as much as they are mine.” Robb said to ease some of his cousin’s- no his brothers pain. “I’ll do it,” he said in a wavering voice wiping the tears from his face. “I’ll marry her. Not because I want but because it is what’s best for our family, for Winterfell.”, “Thank you, I’ll write to you, I’m sure Bran and Sansa will too. I may not be able to attend the wedding but I’m sure Sansa wouldn’t miss it, and Arya will already be there-” Robb began to ramble as he tried to assure Jon. “It’s fine, I’ll be fine. I’ll ride out in two days to give me time to pack up.”, “Tha-” Rob was interrupted. “Don’t thank me yet, I still have to marry her and get child on her.”, “I’ll send her a letter” Robb said before leaving his brother in the Godswood.
Kings Landing The Next Day: “Khaleesi, a letter has come for you from the North.” Kvarro said to his Khaleesi. “Bring it in please, Kvarro” said the Breaker of Chains. After reading the letter confusion, anger, and a bit of hope rose in her chest. Tears welled in her eyes, not going unnoticed by her servant but she was more like her best friend. Missandei dropped to her knees in front of her Queen asking her what was wrong but her question fell on deaf ears until finally after what felt like the hundredth time “Yes?” said the Mother of Dragons to her friend. “Are you ok, did something in the letter upset you?”, “No, I’m fine. The King in the North has accepted my offer, he’s sending his brother whose actually his cousin.” Dany said which confused Missy so she explained all she’d been told in the letter. “Well I will have a room prepared… for your nephew and betrothed.” Missy said and left to do so after receiving a nod from her Queen.
Sat alone in her room now Daenerys let out a loud: “FUCK!”
