    Summary

    Neville Longbottom took in a deep, satisfying breath and looked down at his feet. His new shoes broke up the yellow warning lines at the edge of the platform, but he didn't move back. The pristine brogues made the mottled, old paint on the ground look worse and Neville wondered if he had ever looked better than any place he was before, but he still didn't move. He couldn't.

    Summary

    Hi all! This is another venture into a canon era fic, but this is mostly canon compliant in terms of a backstory (majority of the show, with maybe some sprinklings of the book) except that Myrcella lives and instead of Jon being sent into exile, he's crowned King.

    I promise that the politics & backstory etc will unfold naturally in the story, so if it is important to it it will be revealed within the story itself.

    Please heed the tags! This is going to be anti a lot of people's faves, so please don't read if that isn't for you. Also, if you think there should be any additional tags, please let me know.

    Title comes from a sonnet by Pablo Neruda that semperlitluv kindly directed me to after kindly letting me rant about this story all day.

    Oh also, ages are 18 for Myrcella and 25 for Jon.

    Summary

    "If I were to take a wife it would be her who I take to my bed, her who I would sit by in court, no others.” Jon looked up sheepishly, the tips of his ears still red. “I believe I would be hard pressed to find a lady wife considering my standing, so if I were to find one, I would count myself among the luckiest of men.”

    Something in her chest fluttered and Myrcella realized it was her heart, a warmth she had not known before rising to her cheeks. For a moment the moonlight bathed Jon in an ethereal glow, snowflakes dusting his form, making him look much like the prince from her stories. “I see.”

     

    A world in which Myrcella takes an interest in Jon during the royal visit to Winterfell, setting both their lives on a very different path.
