Jon Snow x Daenerys Targaryen

Foreword:
The canon dynamic between Daenerys and Jon is VERY difficult to capture - in no small part because of the restrictive and clearly defined roles (gender and otherwise) laid out in A song of Ice and Fire. Daenerys is a woman, but a Queen and ruler in her own right. Jon is believed to be a bastard, but is the heir and ‘rightful’ King of the 7 kingdoms. Both experiences are atypical. And because they exist as anomaly’s even within their own world, it makes conveying the way they maneuver with each other and those around them quite difficult. IMO it requires A LOT of skill as a writer to capture this unusual dynamic successfully. Many of the familiar literary tropes which are well done and satisfying when applied to other ASOIAF ships and fandoms at large, DO NOT work with Jon and Daenerys. Below are a few stories, that in my opinion, “get it right.”
