(Notes:
1. they are not at Castle black. They are more south than the wall, somewhere in the wolfswood.
2. To those that said that the wildling kneeled for Jon. They didn't. They are following him because he is their only chance of survival and their only chance to defeat the dead.
3. To those that didn't like the fact that I added the tag "Catelyn Stark bashing", I will not spend this story hating on Catelyn, because she is not the focus of the story. I just think the woman needs a wake up call, but she will be an ally to the main characters throughout the story.
4. I'm not a fan of Daenerys, but she is a necessity for this story. She will be a minor character and appear only at the end. There will be no incest in this story, no matter what.
5. Dany will not be mad. She will be like she was in season 1 of the tv series. She just wanted to go home, and have a family. And she will have those things with Jon (because he is her nephew).
6. Arya and Sansa will appear later in the story, because I will have to show different points of view, but mostly this whole story will be switching between Robb and Jon's p.o.v.
Thanks to everyone who left a review, and to everyone who read this. I did not expect so many people to even look at this.

(Jon Snow)
As he walked through the Wildlings' camp he tried not to think of everything that happened in the past year. It was as crazy as the books he read as a child.
He let wildlings through the wall. Something that no one has ever done. He thought the men of Night's watch would understand that if those wildlings die, they will join the army of the dead.
But the only people that believed him were his few friends and King Stannis.
So when he let the free folk through the wall, he was stabbed to death by his brothers. He never trusted most of the men at the wall, but he didn't think that they would stab them in a dark corner. Cowards, he thought.
After King Stannis died while fighting with the dead, his red priestess and his Hand Ser Davos stayed behind at the Wall.
He didn't like Melisandre. She enjoyed burning people believing those deaths are worth something. But he could no longer hate her after she brought him back from the dead.
So here he was. Back from the dead. Alive, when he was supposed to be dead. Or maybe he was meant to be alive? It was a good thing that he didn't believe in destiny.
And if that wasn't madness then what happened next definitely was.
Lady Melisandre claimed she saw a vision in the fire. She saw his real parents.
At first he didn't believe that his father wasn't Ned Stark. (Who was actually his uncle). But was Rhaegar Targaryen. A man he thought stole and raped his aunt Lyanna. Yes his aunt Lyanna, who was actually his mother.
Who would believe such a tale?
But then Sam returned from the citadel with documents that confirm that Rhaegar married Lyanna.
His world was falling apart. He no longer had siblings. They were his cousins. And he was no longer a bastard, but the rightful king of the seven kingdoms.
And he was no longer tied to the watch now that he had given his life for the watch.
Lady Melisandre claimed that Jon Snow was dead, and Aegon Targaryen was now born.
The only good thing that came out of it is that maester Aemon spent his last days with family. As he talked to the old maester he learned much about his real family, before the old man eventually died.
As if being brought back from the dead, bringing wildlings through the wall, and being a secret Targaryen wasn't enough, he was named King beyond the wall, temporarily.
He himself insisted that after Mance Ryder died, Tormund should take his place, but the red haired man said that people prefer to follow the man who was brought back from the dead. Because to them he sounded almost like a god.
If he was still tied to the Watch he would have refused, but no longer being Jon Snow, he took the role of the leader of the free folk.
He named Davos the hand of the king, him being the only other person aware of the politics of Westeros. And Tormund became his unofficial Lord Commander.
And now he had 100 thousand people, 80 thousand of those who could fight for him. They were willing to fight for him because he didn't force them to bend the knee. And if he had tried that, he was sure that he would likely have a few arrows stabbed into his knees.
The free folk took to calling him king Crow, courtesy of Tormund. Even if most of them listened only to Tormund or other wildling leaders.
If he cared about titles then he would be offended, but he cared not. The only thing on his mind were the white walkers and Robb.
They chose to follow him because they knew he could help them gather men to fight the dead. And he was the one that brought them south of the wall. They also knew he had a brother who was King in the North. (or the south, as they liked to think of it)
A few of them spit in his face, but agreed to follow him for the time being.
Jon was sure that if Robb wasn't too busy with the war of the five kings, he would help them fight the army of the dead. However Robb and his armies were unavailable at the moment.
Davos suggested that they could help Robb Stark win against the Lannisters, and in return help them beyond the wall. The only reasons why the Lannisters were winning was because they had more men than Robb.
And Jon had men. And not only men. He had Giants and giant mammoths. He was sure that Joffrey would shit his pants if he ever saw a giant.
Now as he walked through the camp of the free folk, he pushed the thoughts of Joffrey's ugly face away and tried to think of ways he could contact Robb and bring Wildlings south.
According to Davos the Northern army was currently at Riverrun. There was to be a Wedding at the twins. Unfortunately no one knew whose wedding it was. Was it Robb's? He always thought that he would be there at his wedding. He always imagined that Ned Stark would be at the Wedding.
But he doubted any of those things would come true now.
As he entered his tent he noticed that there were more people then he expected. Everyone turned to face him. He noticed the worry and uncertainty in their eyes.
Immediately he knew there was bad news.
His first thought was that Robb or one of his sisters was dead. But he forced himself not to think about such things.
"What happened?"
He asked Ser Davos, who in return handed him a letter with the Lannister sigil.
"Some kids were playing around with a bow. No one told them not to shoot the ravens. They brought us this. It was meant to fly to Winterfell."
Jon looked around before unfolding it.
The letter was addressed to Ramsay Snow, Roose Bolton's bastard son. Not long ago they learned that Ramsey had taken Winterfell from the Greyjoys by order of Robb Stark.
The letter was from Tywin Lannister.
Why was one of Robb's bannermen corresponding with Tywin Lannister?
He continued reading the letter.
It explained well, what was to happen at the wedding. Once the Starks were dead, Boltons would become the wardens of the north and swear fealty to Joffrey Baratheon. And Walder Frey would become lord of Riverrun once the Tullys were dead.
As he read and reread the letter a few times, the only words that he could think about were "Robb Stark will die at the Twins along with his mother."
He heard a faint "Your Grace?" From Ser Davos, but he couldn't look up from the letter.
His father was dead. Bran was dead. Rickon was dead. And soon Robb and lady Stark would follow them.
He looked up at Davos and Tormund who were expecting him to say something.
"If this is true, then Robb will be killed along with his men and his mother."
Tormund nodded.
"And if your brother is dead, then no one can help us with the dead fuckers."
Jon looked back down at the letter trying to think of something. After a few seconds of complete quiet he looked up at Davos.
"Is there any way we can march down to Riverrun before the wedding at the twins?"
Davos let out a heavy breath.
"The wedding is in a fortnight. If we depart tomorrow, then we could potentially make it."
Jon straightened out his back.
"Then we depart today."
As everyone left the tent to prepare for the march south, he sat down and folded the letter. He would later use it as proof of treason.
He had to save Robb. Without Robb their plan would not work. None of the southern lords would believe in white walkers, and they wouldn't send their armies north until it was too late.
Getting down to the Riverlands would be complicated. People would notice Wildling marching south, and they would most likely be attacked.
Luckily they were in the midst of a war.
All northern houses sent most of their men to fight for the King in the North. The men that remained would not be an issue. Even if word was sent south about an army of wildlings, Jo doubted anyone would spare men to fight them. Everyone was too focused on the war of the five kings. Stannis was dead which made it the war of the four kings, but Jon Snow, the King beyond the wall was about to enter the game, which made it once again, the war of the five kings.
Jon knew that Robb could ask him to bend the knee and fight for him. And at first he considered that option.
But the free folk trusted him to lead them to victory. And they would kill him before he could even bend the knee.
No, he would bring the free folk south. He would save Robb. And then they would defeat the Lannisters. He would claim his birthright and become king of the seven kingdoms.
Once he became king he would send as many men to the North as they needed to defeat the Night King.
If they won, the Wildling would return home to the North of the wall, while the rest of Westeros would be restored.
Ygritte would most likely return home as well. And he wouldn't stop her.
He loved her, and therefore he wouldn't tie her to himself. Not that she would let him.
The only time he felt like he truly belonged was in the wildling camp. It was the only time when no one cared that he was a bastard. No one cared who his father was. No one cared who he was.
In truth he dreamed of returning to that cave with Ygritte, and never leaving. And never having to take part in southern affairs.
He didn't want to rule Westeros, but if him sitting on the throne meant peace, then he would do his duty.
