You know that I will start annoying you like mad after that, right? There isn't a single fic for them, other than yours.
Yes yes yes yes. I love how what Robert did to him (and to a lesser extent Renly) just makes Stannis feel like a bastard. Like he's somehow not a "real" brother. And for Stannis that's almost worse because Jon IS a bastard, Jon always knew he wouldn't get Winterfell, wouldn't get anything his brothers had, but Stannis grew up as a trueborn son, expeccting to be treated the same as his brothers. Definitely mirrors here.
Didn't you like Stannis prior to ADWD? Who did you want on the throne before that? Because there are many characters I like in this series, but not many I can see ruling well. Other than Stannis I can only think of Tywin. I'm so jealous of people whose parents read ASOIAF, btw. I got my brother to read it, but he's only a mad Greyjoy fan, it's kind of funny. He randomly comes to see me and says WHAT IS DEAD CAN NEVER DIE!!!! I can't really ship Jon with many people. My OTP there is Jon/Wall, and now Jon/Stannis. I'm okay with Jon/Satin for some hurt/comfort, but not as a long-term relationship. I kind of ship Jon/Aegon in my own crazy AU, but that's about it. Haha, I just love the Bastard of Nightsong for having such an epic nickname. Also, he'S a king's man and Stannis seems to trust him a lot, so he must be a real badass. I hope we'll get to see him again. I'm not a huge fan of Jon as his Hand either, because the whole point of making someone other than Davos his Hand would be to have someone more respectable, someone his lords would accept. Ned Stark's bastard may be a bit better than a former smuggler, but not exactly fancy either. ;) But Kingsguard!Jon would be amazing. If only so Jon can object that he isn't even a knight, and Stannis in a typical fit of grumpy irritation would just tell him to STFU and kneel so Stannis can knight him.
