Kill the Boy

by Queen of Ice and Winter

"We all carry burdens from the days we are born to the days we die. You may despise your burden, but it's yours to bear. Kill the boy Jon, and let the man be born. Remember that, Jon Targaryen. Kill the boy and let the man be born." Death had dashed Jon's dreams and gave him a heavy burden he never wanted or expected: heir apparent and marriage to his half-sister Rhaenys. Oneshot.
