I know this pairing sounds like I just randomly picked the unlikeliest couple in the series. ;) I'm glad I could convince you that it's not quite as absurd as it sounds.

The thing about Stannis is that he's incredibly harsh and intimidating, but he's not cruel. I can't for my life imagine him hurting her or even being too harsh to her. I think he would be as awkward and unhappy about this wedding as Sansa, initially, because from his point of view he's marrying this gorgeous young girl who's barely older than his daughter, and he's SURE that she will hate him and be disgusted by him. Because why shouldn't she? His own brothers hated him, his first marriage was a nightmare, why should his second be any better? And I think that it would actually make Sansa more comfortable to be with a man who's ... well, uncomfortable. Does that make any sense?

Kingsguard!Jon is the only ending I will accept for Jon. Anything else will disappoint me. ;)

Thank you so much for giving this pairing a try, and even more for liking it. Honestly, they have more in common than you'd ever think, and I really believe they could learn to be happy together. All those kind reviews really make me want to write more. :)
