Winter

The north is at the fringe with thinking aemon betrayed them but nobody sees what ned did and what he did to make it seem as if hes the innocent one robb only says what he sees but he doesnt know that his mother was the reason aemon was treated horribly so robb is blind as the rest of em

Good chapter although there’s a couple things I dislike. Why didn’t Ned tell the lords of the north before he was sent to trial? He may not be the best at politics, but neither is he a complete fool. The last time a northern lord was trialed, the flames of rebellion were stoked. He should have controlled the narrative, painted himself as grief-struck man who wasn’t thinking at all. It isn’t honorable, but it is understandable. Now rifts are being formed that wouldn’t if he would have just said something. I also really hate Robb’s reaction. I get he’s filled with grief and anger, but saying that Jon was never his brother is just foolish. He’s being completely selfish and only caring about his own daddy being imprisoned and not Jon having been lied to by Ned. He’s only seeing his side of it, which just seems unlike Robb especially considering how close the two were. Seems like useless dramatization. Anyways liking the story and looking forward to more even if there’s parts I heavily disagree with.

These northern lords are morons.

All Robb can think now is that his father is in prison and that Jon meeting his family is what caused it. The thing is, he's very angry and wants to blame anyone but his father, and he's only 15 years old. He is not mature enough to realize the weight his words carry as First Born of House Stark. He's not a perfect character. As for Ned, he was confessing in front of everyone. He didn't go into details because he knows he will have a talk with his lords before going to the Wall. Thank you for reading my Story.

vb
>>113058534

Yea personably don’t agree but you do you. You said Robb can be angry at literally anyone but his father, and I agree, but why then is he angry at Jon. It’d make more sense for him to be angry at Rhaegar, y’know, the one sentencing him. Like in canon, how he hates Joffrey for beheading Ned, but doesn’t disavow Sansa, and even if knew Sansa was partly at fault, he wouldn’t just say she wasn’t his sister anymore. He’d be angry, yes, but wouldn’t just shit all over their bond. And I know that Ned confessed at the trial. He’s not gonna go and tell dorne or the lannisters what he did before he confessed, but it’s seriously stupid of him to not inform the northern lords, lords he knows are prone to acting before thinking. He’s bad at most politics, but he understands the north which is why I’m saying it’s unlikely for him to just ‘forget’ that the lords can be prone, rash, stupid, and willing to rise in rebellion for house stark, even if it isn’t the smartest option. Not telling them before so they know who’s truly at fault is jostling a barrel of wildfire and hoping it doesn’t explode. Ned isn’t that dumb. But I’m not trying to argue. Let’s just say we have different opinions and leave it at that.

Abyss

That’s rich coming from Rob. While he had his whole family, Jon was suffering under the torment of Cat and Ned didn’t do anything about it. Sure, Ned talked to Cat but Ned was weak, always bending over for a f’ing fish. I don’t believe there isn’t anyone in Winterfell who knew the true story. If Rob doesn’t see reason, cripple or even kill him so he finally does.

TheChosenOne

The Northern lords are a pain in the ass man. So reactionary and short sighted (except the Mormonts). I hope The North chills tf out after the eventual discussion with Ned and will the Stark children get to speak with Ned & Jon/Aemon? Thanks for the 2 new chapters! When will you update 'A Dragon Kissed By Sun'?

Gregory95

This is devolving into another "Everyone in the North are idiots and have no common sense" story. Nobody knew how Jon was treated as a bastard? Really?

Mason Talbert

I do not agree with Lady Mormont when she says that nothing justifies what Ned Did, I do not agree with that at all. With everything that Prince Oberyn and the Tyrells (Mostly Lady Olenna) have said and thought about Jon it proves that Ned Starks concerns about Jon’s health and safety were legitimate. He might have handled it poorly but still his concern wasn’t wrong either. Robb saying that Jon isn’t their brother isn’t really wrong either since by blood he’s their cousin, but it’s obvious that he meant it as an insult. I know that a lot of people think that Robb and the Northerners are stupid, but I cannot help but admire them a little, why because Robb told Bran that he will save their father and their banner men are fully onboard (What I’m saying is that despite all that has happened their loyalty to Ned is so strong that they are willing to go to war with the 7 kingdoms to free him despite being severely outnumbered and at a huge disadvantage, that to me is quite the example of love and loyalty). I really wish the Targaryens had come up with a different punishment besides the wall and execution because now the love and loyalty of the North and Jon’s Stark family has been completely shattered. As far as Robb Saving Ned well I hope he succeeds, I can already see the backlash I’m going to get for this comment. This is just my opinion and how I feel please do not judge or criticize me for that, I do not mean any disrespect for anyone else’s opinion so I apologize if I upset anyone with what I’ve said.

Ripe
>>113058534

Robb did disavove Sansa... in his Will where he names Jon as his successor he specifically removes Sansa from any and all lines of succession.

Ripe

No, there is no excuse. And we don't know what Oberyn would do back then... all we have is his reaction now when Aemon showed up with dragon, direwolf and eagle. Like it or not, Aemon is a threat to Aegon, especially considering he didn't grow up with his family.

vb
>>113058534

Yea because she was captured by lannisters who would marry her off and attempt to take Winterfell and the north. Removing her from line of succession doesnt mean she isn’t his sister, just that she can’t be used to steal the north. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.

vb
>>113058534

Like how Ramsey married Sansa so the child was part stark and would give legitimacy to the rule. That’s literally what rob was trying to prevent by removing her from all lines of succession, not saying I hate Sansa this is all her fault she’s not my sister.

Ripe
>>113058534

Removing her from line of succession is disavoving her... she is either his sister and in line of succession or she isn't. You can't have it both way. Robb named Jon as his Heir and he could have leave it there. But he went a step further and removed Sansa from line of succession. Also, keep in mind that by that point it was believed both Sansa and Arya were captured by Lannisters (Lannisters certainly claimed that to be the case) and yet, Robb only removed Sansa from line of succession...

vb
>>113058534

You literally can have it both ways. He can love his sister and know she is his sister but recongnize that the people she’s captured by can put your entire kingdom at risk. And he didn’t disinherit Arya because she wasn’t married. If she was married like Sansa was Robb would’ve removed her from the line of succession as well. It’s simple, for all he knew, the lannisters were actively trying to get Sansa pregnant by Tyrion, Arya was way too young to marry so she could remain in the line of succession until she was either freed or married. It ain’t rocket science brotha boy, again, he can love his sister, treat her as his sister, etc, but recognize the people who have captured her are dangerous and could steal a kingdom.

Ripe
>>113058534

And they can't use Arya for that? This is Westeros where girls as young as 10 get married. Lannisters could just as easily marry Arya to a family member as they did Sansa. So no, removing Sansa from line of succession while keeping Arya in it does not make sense if the only reason for removal is to protect North from Lannisters making a claim on it.

Ripe
>>113064701

Which makes even less sense when you consider that Aemon run away from Winterfell... why would he run away if he was treated fairly.

Ripe
>>113064876

Ned Stark did such a great job protecting Aemon that he run away when he was 10 years old...

vb
>>113058534

But did they marry Arya off? No. As soon as it happened he would’ve disinherited her.

vb
>>113058534

just look up ‘why did Robb disinherit Sansa’ on google. Damn near every single thing says exactly what I’ve been saying. Maybe one of those posts can get through your dense skull.

Mason Talbert
>>113065621

Yeah there is an excuse you just said it yourself that Jon is a threat to Aegon and when Everyone though that both Lyanna and her baby were dead Oberyn admitted to himself that he was glad that they were dead even if it meant completely destroying his relationship with Elia to the point it became beyond repairable and even though Jon didn’t grow up with his Targaryen family doesn’t mean that they all won’t come to love each other plus it’s like what Jon said to Arya in season 8 if you only trust the people you grow up with you won’t make many Allies.

Ripe
>>113065621

No, Aemon is a threat NOW when he appeared grown up with dragon, direwolf and eagle with no connection to his family... as a baby he was no threat. And he wouldn't be one growing up in Red Keep... so Ned's so-called concern for his safety was unfounded. Especially considering he wasn't safe and protected at Winterfell!

Ripe
>>113058534

Robb was disinheriting Sansa in his Will! His Will that was made in case he dies in the War! Yes, Sansa was in Lannisters hands and married to Tyrion. But he didn't disinherit Arya despite her also being in Lannisters hands (as far as everyone knew at the time). That Arya wasn't married at the time doesn't matter...

vb
>>113058534

Arya not being married is ALL that matters. Robb wasn’t planning on dying, and if it came to be that Arya was married off like Sansa, well guess what, hed disinherit her. He’s not going to disinherit her until shes actually married buddy. That’s why Robb didn’t disinherit Sansa until she was married, I.e. around the time the will was written.

Mason Talbert
>>113065621

Yes he was a threat it doesn’t matter what he had or who he grew up around people always think your a threat especially when your half siblings, Rhaenyra and Aegon the 2nd were half siblings and went to war with each other and they came from two different mothers just like Jon and Aegon, and Ramsay murdered his baby brother in order to secure his place as the heir to house Bolton and they were also half siblings. So what if he grew up in Winterfell and not Kings Landing it’s not like he would have been safe there either living in that pit of snakes the place where everyone wears a mask and is filled with spies. And no Ned’s concern was not unfounded at all Oberyn literally admits that he was glad that Lyanna was dead, even her baby who wasn’t dead, he’s always seen him as a threat simply because Jon and Lyanna don’t have Martell blood, if that is not founded concern then I don’t know what is.

Drinor
>>113064701

Why would they know how Jon was treated? None of them lived in Winterfell. We know because we read the story through Jon’s perspective, but the Lords of the North won’t really know how he was treated since, to their knowledge, he was a bastard, and the majority of them didn’t really pay attention to him. All they would have are rumors, but rumors can easily be lies. That’s why Lord Karstark asks Robb to tell them how Jon has been treated since he lived there. He lived with Jon, so in their minds, Robb would tell them the truth better than any rumor could. The only obvious sign that Jon was not treated fairly is him leaving Winterfell, which the Lords will discuss in the next chapter.

Ahmad Bugshan

Great chapter, but it looks like the seeds of the second rebellion is growing. While I agree that Robb and the northern lords are idiots you can’t really blame a 15 year old boy who has no real experience in life and his emotions is what controlling him. Furthermore, Edmure being the idiot he is will also rebel to support Robb and let’s not forget that Cersei will of course saying to him that Tywin will support him. Although I don’t see Tywin supporting the rebellion especially with most houses in river land are Targaryen supporters. However, while the stormlands will support the Targaryen, but Renly will try to make the houses support the rebellion seeing this might be the best chance to get revenge for Robert.

Ahmad Bugshan
>>113064701

And let’s not forget that to the northern lord Ned is most honorable man in Westeros so in their point of view he would not let his own blood be treated so badly. Other than in their point view ned stole Aemon/ Jon to protect him from the Martel’s and other southern houses so at the end of the day their excuse would be that while Aemon/Jon might’ve been treated badly it’s better than being dead. So, no matter at what point of view you look at the northern would still find an excuse for ned. The only way that the rebellion might not happen is that if ned explained the way Jon has been treated. Even that wouldn’t been enough not only does the the north remembers but Catelyn will try to manipulate the situation and lie that Jon was being treated fairly in winterfell. The only character that might make a change Benjen but he wasn’t in winterfell much so his word won’t be taken in consideration.

Ahmad Bugshan
>>113079582

Yes dragons are a big boost to the Targaryen side. However, let’s not forget that Aemon/Jon will be reluctant to use them at first because he’s still views Robb as family and views the north as a part of him.

Drinor
>>113058520

Well, they want to blame someone, and that someone is Aemon because all of them have known Ned for years. It’s harder to blame him. Thank you for reading My Story

Drinor
>>113061257

Well, Robb is angry and is only 15 years old. So, he just wants to blame Aemon for what is happening because it is simply easier that way, rather than blaming his own parents for what is happening. Thank you for reading My Story

Drinor
>>113061588

The Northern Lords will talk with Lord Stark, and the Stark children will talk with Aemon, as for A Dragon Kissed by Sun. It will be updated around late July. Thank you for reading My Story

Drinor
>>113079582

The majority of the Northern Lords are Loyal to House Stark. If Robb told them to go to War, they would do so without hesitation. Things are getting bad between The North and House Targaryen. Now imagine their reaction when Jon tells them they will bring the Wildlings South of the Wall. Thank you for reading My Story

Senoj Ttehr
>>113064701

Jon needs to speak to the Northern Lords. That would be the most common sense approach to this. Perhaps Maege informs him about the Northern Lords' lack of knowledge about his home life. And once Rhaegar sees the way the Southern Lords/Ladies are going on, he can always commute the sentence. Have House Targaryan taken responsibility for their actions?

Ripe
>>113065621

Just because Oberyn was glad Lyanna and her child was dead it does not mean he would kill them if they lived... so no, Ned's fears are nothing but convinient excuse to do what he want. Just as sending Jon to NW to protect him was convinient excuse to cover for Ned protecting Robert's claim to Iron Throne.

Ripe
>>113065621

Rhaenyra and Usurper are bad example of anything... that conflict would always happen because Alicent and Otto couldn't stand the idea of anyone other than Usurper succeeding Viserys. That Rhaenyra was female only mean she got to live that long... if she was male they would have her killed long before Viserys died. And are you seriously using Ramsay as an example of how family work?

Ripe
>>113058534

He'd have a hard time disinheriting anyone once he's dead... nobody expect to die, that doesn't mean they don't prepare for it. That is what making your Will is all about.

Loyalist

Robb is either blind or lying to himself about Ned treatment of Aemon in the north. If they rebel than they will suffer the consequences of their actions. Hope Ned will finally admit that he did it for revenge, at least to his family and banners.

Jack

Keep up the good work storys great not sure why everyone is complaining about the northern lords getting riled up about ned taking the black and robb is technically still a child at this point of course he's going to think like that and where abouts is this story upto compared to the series ?

vb
>>113058534

Regardless of that my point stands. As soon as Sansa was married she was disinherited, not before. Arya wasn’t married, ergo, she isn’t disinherited. We can argue the same points back and forth but I think it’s pretty obvious we just have different opinions on it, I know I’m right, you know your right, nothing will come of arguing anymore. Good day.

Mason Talbert
>>113065621

Yes I am using Ramsay as an example because everyone has family no matter how evil you are, and no Ned’s fears were not convinent excuses to do what he wanted because in a way he did protect Jon in a way from the Martells and the Tyrells because Jon was always going to be seen as a threat simply because he had Stark blood and not Martell blood and so what if Rhaenyra was a male or female you just said that she would have been killed earlier had she been a male so in way there was going to be conflict regardless of her gender. Look I get it nobody on here agrees with me fine I don’t care because either way I’m standing firm in my opinion and no matter how many times you try to counter what I say and no matter how many excuses you make I’m not changing my mind.

Drinor
>>113107933

Robb is lying, is very angry, and feels betrayed by Jon. That’s the whole thing. Thank you for reading my Story

Drinor
>>113112857

Thank you for reading my story. Yes, Robb is still a child and is overwhelmed by his emotions.

Карина Козенко
>>113065621

ok, let's look at the situation from a different point of view. You say Jon would be considered a threat to Aegon by everyone. But Ned put him in exactly the same situation in the North. according to his wife, Jon is a threat to Robb, Bran, Rickon and the whole world in her eyes. Plus, he put him in the status of a bastard, which literally deprives him of the privilege of being protected. And in this story, Jon really had a very shitty life. so the 'protection' excuse won't work here, because he literally put him in a worse situation. that's it, it's that simple. in canon, such a thing was indeed protection, but here it is the theft of the name, family and the very protection that the prince of the kingdom could claim. now Ned had put jon in a position where even the kingdom loyal to his mother had declared itself his enemy. what a wonderful defense, there are no words. So no, there is no excuse. And in the conditions of that world, the Wall is really the most minimal punishment for the actions of Ned Stark. and as a baby, of course, he did not threaten anyone. and the Tyrells wouldn't have done anything to him either. They are afraid of him because he is an unfamiliar figure with a dragon, and not just because he exists. And the martells would not have done anything to him, they would have been indignant, yes, but they would not have done anything because of protection of royal family. Just like Cat and Hoster in the end did nothing to him .

Longclaw16

So Morning is Rhaenys' dragon. Awesome. leaves silverwing for Aegon and Sheepstealer for Viserys

Longclaw16
>>113302878

I was sure Shrykos died at the dragonpit... if that's the case, then Rhaegar could claim a dragon.

Drinor
>>113302878

I’m not talking about that one; the Shrykos I’m talking about is an entirely new dragon that Aegarax brings up a few times.

Mason Talbert
>>113065621

Yeah there is an excuse Ned could have told Cat about Jon from the very beginning as for why he didn’t I don’t know, and you said it yourself Cat didn’t do anything to Jon despite her open hostility towards him the same with the Martells, no matter where Jon was living he was always going to be viewed as a threat regardless on where he was living and regardless on how old he was. The difference between Winterfell and Kings Landing is that Ned wouldn’t be able to do anything from Kings Landing, while he didn’t do anything to protect Jon from Cat’s insults and open hostility he might have been going along with the “life threatening” kind of threat like his life was in danger which it probably could have been but with Ned in charge of the North he probably saw it as the best way for him to protect Jon. Also so what if Jon didn’t grow up in Kings Landing what was to stop any member of house Martell or anyone from Dorne from treating him the same way that Cat did, it makes no difference. I get what your saying and I acknowledge everything that you’ve said, but I will say this again for the 80 millionth time I don’t care how unpopular my opinion is, I don’t care how many people disagree with me, I don’t care how many counters and excuses that people throw at me to everything I say on here, I don’t care if people call me stupid, crazy, foolish, idiotic, dumb or whatever you think of me I’m standing firm in my opinion and I’m not changing my mind. I’m very sorry if I offended anyone with what I’ve said but almost every comment that I have made on this story has been met with some kind of disagreement and somehow it turns into a full blown debate and a full blown argument, its really hard not to get frustrated when everyone is against you on pretty much everything you talk about. Again I’m very sorry if I upset anyone on here but I just really needed to get that frustration off my chest. By the way here is another thing to consider had Jon not been raised in Winterfell he never would have met Val and he wouldn’t have a baby on the way, he might not have even gotten his wolf or his eagle, that’s another thing to consider and take into account.

Kenadams

How many dragons are there?

Kaio Ushigami

I love how all this is going on and they have yet to know of the big threat that is beyond the wall. So yeah Robb is mad at Jon, People see Jon as a threat, but if they don’t unite on the true threat beyond the wall they are all screwed. I love reading this story.

Hi where do i read Chapter 7 of this fic? Theres nothing about it on ao3

>>113064876

A parent is supposed to create a home that a child can thrive to be an adult. Can you honestly say that is what Ned accomplished. Ned made the conditions possible where this wasn't reality. He took a child away from his parent because he was upset that his life didn't turn out the way he thought it would when he was a boy. He took out his grief on a kid and the kid fled in order to be free of it. Ned trying to justify it doesn't negate what he did. Also, now he's put Aemon at an even more disadvantage because he's going to have to get a crash course in politics which let's be real the north sucks at. And as for Robb, his anger is understandable but there is a selfishness in it as well. To keep my father with me I want my blood, my cousin, to be treated like dirt. Never mind that if it was found out any other way Ned would have lost his head. Robb also was lusting after his cousin's wife. Also, Ned should have told Robb what was occurring that way it would have been less of a blindslide.

Mason Talbert
>>113064876

Maybe what Ned did was an unspoken attempt at getting some kind of revenge against Lyanna and House Targaryen but regardless Ned did still have a point about Jon being seen as a threat regardless of where he was living or how old he was, but either way seems like only Ned truly knows that because we are basically going off assumptions. Either way I respect your opinion and I acknowledge what you’re saying but I’m standing firm in my opinion, we just have to agree to disagree.

Ymere
>>113064876

You keep saying you are not trying to start an argument and then like every chapter you spout this Ned deserves better statement. Ned committed treason by taking a prince from the custody of his surviving parent. Pretty sure even here in this time kidnapping is a crime. Ned committed a crime. I might be able to accept some of the rest of what you are saying if you admit that Ned committed a serious crime that could get him locked up or killed even in modern day. Ned won't get get to see his children as much for years to come. He robbed Rhaegar and Elia of 14 years with their son. He robbed Rhaella of 14 with her grandson. He robbed Aegon of the joy of being an elder brother. He stole a lifetime of memories from Aemon and the other side of his family. The Crown is being very generous with Ned's sentence. If Oberyn wasnt more worried about Aemon right now he probably would push for harsher sentencing to make the crown stand in a more secure position. Robb, and the Northern Lords are setting themselves up for trouble. They are the first one's everyone is going to be watching. They might be wrong to watch them but they will be.

Mason Talbert
>>113064876

I’m not, I’m not trying to start a debate or an argument I meant that all I’m doing is saying how I feel about this that’s all but I can’t seem to say what’s on my mind without someone trying to counter it. Ok so Ned took Jon away I am not denying that, all I’m saying is that I don’t think that he should have gotten the punishment that he got. This doesn’t have to turn into an argument if people don’t like what I’m saying they can choose to ignore it but they don’t if they want to chew me out then fine, I will not change my mind no matter how many people criticize me for it, look I get what your saying I really do. I’m just saying that Ned wasn’t fully wrong about his concern about Jon safety, plus Jon might not have ever met Val and probably wouldn’t have a baby with her on the way, he might not have even gotten his Wolf, Eagle, and his Dragon. He’s also trying to get his family to allow the Wildlings to live among them, and every bit of that is happening because Ned kept him I bet Jon hasn’t thought about any of this at all.
