I have a question. Why is everything so far so heart-stompy, omg, do we want to punish ourselves??

I blame the prompts. Start prompting fun Stark shenanigans: that time Robb and Jon talked about sex, that time Sansa and Arya played together, anything!

Jon thinks about his mother, and he wonders if she's out there somewhere, thinking of him.

It fills him with shame, but sometimes Jon hates his father for keeping secret everything about his mother, for keeping her name and face and memory all to himself. The ache in his heart where she should be is a near constant pain - dulled, by time, ignored and pushed to the background, but always there, and much as he loves his siblings, he knows it is this pain that they shall never (could never) understand.

He stands in front of the mirror and sees Stark staring back, and he turns his face first left than right, looking for a disparity, something that could have come from her. Was she fair-haired, he wonders, or dark like him? Was she noble-born, or a peasant girl, or a whoring camp follower? Did his father take him from her, or did she willingly give him away, force his father to bring him north

OMG, my heart! This is absolutely perfect and everything I want for canon. I really wish we saw more of Jon wondering about his mother.

Thank you! I agree with wanting more of Jon's thoughts on his mom - I feel like at this point he's almost resigned to knowing nothing, which is so fucking sad. =(

They call him the King-Beyond-The-Wall, but once he was just Rickon Stark.

"Impressed by his skills as a singer, Lord Stark asked him what he wanted as a reward, and Bael only asked for the most beautiful flower blooming in Winterfell's gardens. As the blue winter rose were just blooming, Brandon Stark accepted to offer him one. But the following morning, the single, virgin daughter of the lord had disappeared, and in her bed was the blue winter rose.

Lord Brandon sent the members of the Night's Watch looking for them beyond the Wall, but they never found neither Bael nor the girl. The Stark line was on the verge of extinction, when one day the girl was back in her room, holding in her hand an infant: they had actually never left Winterfell, staying hidden in the crypts. Bael's bastard with the daughter of the Lord Stark became the new Lord Stark." - A Clash of Kings

Benjen often wishes he wasn't the younger brother of both Brandon and Ned. It is too much to live up to.
