“I wouldn’t need a visa if it wasn’t for you, you know,” he complains, “if you would just send a picture like a normal person.”
Jon hums noncommittally. “That’s nice.”
Tyrion sighs. “I’ll be there within the week. We’ll discuss options from there, including donors and opening nights.”
Jon pours himself a glass of water; turns off the sink. The pipes are old. Water drips from the head.
“Jon? Are you listening to me?”
(Drip.)
He fiddles with the handle. It’s cold. Is it snowing outside yet? It feels like winter. “Yeah.”
There’s a brief pause on the line. (Drip.) Impatient fingers beat a quiet rhythm on the basin’s rim.
“How are you feeling?”
Jon stares at the leaking faucet, hand stilling. He turns with his back to the sink. The metal edge digs into his hip.
(Drip.)
“Fan-fucking-tastic, Tyrion,” he says.
“Really?”
Jon hangs up the phone.
The faucet is silent.

snip: passenger ii
(Part I posted here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33482845 )
“I think there’s a ghost in this room,” he says, hardly a whisper.
Her head bows a fraction of an inch.
She traces the rim of her glass. 
“Two,” she says.
He forces himself to stay still at the sound of her voice — the sound that has haunted him through every dream since they parted.
“What?”
A glass rises to red lips. She licks the bead of wine that lingers on her upper lip, distracting in its innocence. She sets the glass back down with a quiet clink.
Blue eyes rise to his. Sansa seems to weigh the words, mulling them over in her mind as he’s done so many times before; wondering what it was that had her leave, what he should’ve done to stop it. 
But gods, has he missed her.
“There are two ghosts in this room,” she says finally. “Not one.”

possible snip from part ii of passenger
“Why are you undressing?” Tyrion demands, shoving the jacket back into Jon’s arms. “Put it back on!”
“What?” he asks, hanging onto the jacket with one hand.
Tyrion shrieks. “That is a Tyrell bespoke tuxedo, heathen!”
Jon looks down at the suit. He lifts it off the floor and swats the dust off with his other hand. When he looks back up at Tyrion, the man is staring at him with a far-off look in his eye.
“I’m going to kill you,” Tyrion says, matter-of-fact. “I am going to drive you into the woods, kill you, and then run you over with a Jeep.”
Jon frowns. “That’s not very nice.”

PASSENGER
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33482845
Summary: 
After the short and bloody Red Regime, the Greys have retaken the North. With rumors circulating that King Eddard Stark’s eldest daughter still lives, the borders are reopened for the first time in almost a decade.
Jon Snow’s career is stalling. When he’s forced into leaving behind the city he’s known for years to return to a homeland ravaged by war and greed, he barely has time to throw his clothes in a bag before he’s left to wait in Saint Baelor’s Station; terrified of what he is leaving behind, and more importantly, what he is forced to confront.
He doesn’t wait alone.

i would read this so many times
Hi there! Not sure if you are accepting prompts, but I’m obsessed with the idea of Jonsa in some kind of Friends AU. Maybe Jon/Sansa would have a similar set up like Monica/Chandler. Robb could be in love with Myrcella or Margaery after she runs away and moves in with Sansa. And then other characters could be plugged in. Even if you don’t write it maybe we could put the idea out in the world I’m case anyone else likes this too.
Hey Anon,
I do accept prompts occasionally but I'm sorry to say I can't help you much with this one since I personally have never really loved that show if you know what I mean. (I'm a traitor to my generation, I know 😩. I do like the idea of them being in the Monica/Chandler roles.)
BUT...I did see a Jonsa/Friends AU posted in the ao3 tag just today and you can find it here :) And of course, maybe someone out there is itching to write one of their own!

“Listen carefully, children,” Old Nan had told them. “I have a tale to tell you.
A tale far older than the Seven Kingdoms; far older than the Wall itself.”
“Far back in the times of the Kings of Winter there lived a Starkling Prince. Time has erased their name, their age, their temperament. But one thing is known: 
They went into the dark.”

portrait of a youth; undated

Summary: 
Jon never resented his sister, despite what others might think. How could he?

(Moments from childhood are never truly forgotten, even if no one else knows they exist.)

HEAR ME OUT:
Jon, like in Shakespeare, has soliloquies, but *everyone else can hear what he’s saying*
so the entire fic would be like:
Jon (aside): O! As th’ misted waves crash undaunted o’er the rocks, 
and th’ young blossom springs from crumbling castles, 
my heart beats in time with her words 
a voice sweet as a storms end, 
will stronger than my own steel.
Curse me! do I ever play such the fool?
Curse the heavens, curse the gods and the foul manifest 
that declared me eager servant to her wishes, 
fervent worship at her altar. Curse me a fool! Curse me a villian! 
a sin on our house, a tragedy, a travesty.
And yet. 
Yet I cannot stop the well of roses that floods
my soul, weighs heavy on my heart, 
as I cannot refrain my crutches their fault at her call. 
Arya (disbelieving): Wow. 
Sansa: Well, um. 
Arya: What the fuck was that?
Jon: What?
Sansa: You — you just — 
Arya: Who were you even talking to?
Jon (aside): How I wish I could speak plainly. Be it a cruel master or merciful mistress, 
fate grants th’ duty of silence. Yes, I will hold my tongue, whether
I be painted craven or demon both. 
Sansa (to Arya): Should we call for a maester? 
Arya: He knows we can hear him, right?

a lying game (freefall)
Hello! Chapter 5 of ‘freefall’ is up. Changed the title because the first was originally a placeholder, and after plotting the rest of the fic out this fit best.

Hi! So, yes, for the random asks to get to know you better :) How did you start shipping jaqarya, and/or what intrigues you the most about them?
Hi! Jaqarya was actually the first ship in the ASOIAF/GOT fandom I got into when I was reading the books a couple years ago (which is why in ‘lying game’ he’s described more like his book counterpart.) Their interactions are so interesting, especially when - for better or for worse, really - he offers Arya a way to feel like she’s in control of the situation she’s in. 
And then there’s the conflicting views on death between the two of them. Jaqen sees it as something being owed to a god when his life is saved, but Arya and her list implies she believes *she* is owed their lives. 
In short, there’s just so many parts where they differ that are never explicitly pointed out and I’m a sucker for those types of ships. Thanks for the ask! :D
