Summary
“I know you think you want to be... what, my heir?" Jon said. "Queen after me? Lady of Winterfell? But you don’t. You don’t want this, Sansa. It is sleepless nights, war, winter, bank loans, ledgers on bushels of wheat and salt beef stores until your brain goes numb and your eyes burn, and greying hair at eight-and-ten. You don’t want this.”
Sansa frowned at him, brows knitting together as she shook her head almost incredulously. “But you do.”
“I don’t.” Jon told her plainly, and Satin could hear the weary tiredness that clung to his voice. “I never wanted it and I never asked for it. But Robb’s dying will was that I wear this crown and it was my duty to accept it.”
“You must have wanted it. You broke your oaths to the Night’s Watch to come here.”
Jon seemed to almost flinch. “What?”
(Littlefinger plots and schemes and whispers in Sansa’s ear while Satin works on a plan of his own. Sansa and Jon remain at odds. Jon asks for trust as the situation takes a turn for the worse, he only needs to convince her. They're family, and family was all they had left.)
