Absolutely love this AU! Especially enjoyed Jon's confusion and Stephen's attempt to hide his "discomfort". I think when you were talking about Jon perfering to spar with people who can match him, I don't know, the way you wrote about it I felt like it was almost r!Jon. So inside his head. Or at least the way he comes across in interviews. This is another AU I can't get enough of. It's evil of you because now I'm torn between wanting more castle and more of this:) No matter what you do next though I'm sure I'll be thrilled. So glad to see you touching back on this world.
