In that case, good morning. :) SRKNLKJBLDDFKGBÖKDFG THAT PAIRING I LOVE IT SO MUCH I MUST SOMEHOW FORCE YOU TO WRITE FIC. Sorry, just needed to get that out.
1. I raised an eyebrow or two when they first met, during their conversations about making Jon Lord of Winterfell. I started shipping them when Jon refused and Stannis couldn't help but respect that; their arguments that just made me realise how incredibly similar they are. I think realising that is what made me like Jon for the first time. And Stannis' approving look after Jon executed Slynt sealed it for me. But pretty much every single scene with them just made me ship them more. 2. They're the perfect allies, but Jon can't really take Stannis' side due to his vows. If he weren't in the Night's Watch, he and Stannis would be BFF, but as it is Jon's vow not to take any side will stand between them. 3. How they can't help but respect each other, and they're both grumpy about it. But mostly it's how much they have in common, how Jon is a younger Stannis, and I think Stannis realises that. Stannis is not strong on empathy, but I think he can feel for someone if that someone has apparently the same issues and problems he has (or had). They understand each other. I also think they could make each other feel better. 4. I doubt that they will ever get the opportunity to fight on the same side for a long time and become closer. Also, Stannis is probably going to die at some point. -.- 5. IF Stannis or Jon dies ... then that moment. ;) Or any other moment in which they will be turned against each other without hope of reconciliation. 6. Jon/Wall. Stannis with Sansa or Davos. (Or the Bastard of Nightsong. Wait what?) 7. King Stannis with a) Jon as Lord Commander, and Stannis visits the Wall every couple of years; it's the most realistic scenario in a way, but also somewhat sad because they won't see each other much, b) if there is no Wall anymore, Jon as Stannis' Hand, because that'd be epic, or c) Jon in his Kingsguard, if that's the only way to get him out of the Night's Watch. Of course b) and c) can be combined. I'd just love to see them ruling Westeros together.
