We will delve into other character POVs when they appear in the story, but it will remain centred around Jon.

Anyway, here is the next instalment of TSOTWR

Enjoy

Baron, you are spoiling us! Two fics at once?

Zaza Jr

Let’s go thank Baron

Is the release schedule moving up to 3x a week?? Thank you for blessing us with this chap regardless.

I hope the Starks find out about Jon and his parentage at some point. I hope at least his grandparents find out eventually.

Name the sword frostfyre

Will Bonner

Another great chapter, can't wait for more.

Roy Wood

I left a gaming sesh with my mates to read this..... No regrets, brilliant chapter 😁

Captain Goobash

This promises to be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go

Clephne

Loved it, I didn't know I needed this fic so much

Sunny

This story has me gassed up. The description of the sword fight was done really well, considering I've only ever read your magical duels. I feel you've done a gd job so far capturing TV Jon so far. Has the story of his parentage changed, cause I'm sure today's chapter was different to last week's. Anyway, thank you for the chapter Mr McCusker and I look forward to the next one.

Fantastic story. I like the name of the sword to be Walkers bane.

They said leather armour which did not exist as such. So it depends if he meant gambeson or brigandine. I guess gambeson would not slow you down that much its pretty light but brigandine definitely would...

Thor

Damn, this is just so good!

V_Arko

Fantastic chapter, absolutely loved it!

James Eastern

'Please, sir, I want some more.'

Eric Lachance

Jon being in a position to mentor his own mother is pretty amusing. This looks interesting.

In a practice situation what's the benefit of armour? It might easily slow him down (even if only a bit) for a feeble trade off of having slightly smaller bruises if he got hit, which he didnt plan to in the first place. Sure, if he goes to real battle without any armour thats ridiculous, but here I dont find it that bad

Training weapons can be lethal, they’re heavier than normal swords and even if they’re not sharp a solid piece of steel hitting you can break bones. Leather armour, as the commentator above said isn’t a real thing worn during the medieval period, but a padded gambeson and a padded cap would’ve been worn as a minimum safety requirement. It’s not a video game where the armour slows you down to balance the mechanics, all medieval armour is the result of centuries of innovation, they wouldn’t have worn the stuff if it was impractical. Anyway it was a drunk nitpick, the writing was good lmao. It wasn’t a big deal, the story is fiction and not historical.

Getting to read this story at the same time as an excellent HP story is still unfolding is quite the treat! Love it!

I'm curious where this will go. It feels like any actions Jon could take, or might take, will be limited by the fact that he is a guard for Lyanna. He can't go off and just do things. Or that's what I think.

Jim Bob

exciting but curious to see how he will maintain independence

Alex Lafrance

Very great start! well written! Love it!

Less

Congrats on starting the first Jon x Lyanna fanfic of notable length that isn't a harem/smut fic! :p

Matthew

When can we expect the next chapter?

Luthanor

enjoying the start, only thing I find odd is that they trust him so quickly - in 1 day and a quick talk they allow him to become a sword sword for one of the lord paramount's children seemed too ridiculous. BUT I can ignore that and assume it is to save story time perhaps, even just a few paragraphs about him settling in and getting to know them all would have made it smoother and more believable, anyway looking forward to the story as you wrote my all time favourite fan fiction so I trust your decisions!

Yea but what does he need to get out an do? Surely the main priority for jon now would be keeping his family alive an preventing the war from occurring so they can fight the night king? So In my opinion hes possibly in the best place he could be.

Steven Clark Moss

I enjoyed the intro. Everyone has clued into the fact that he looks like a Stark, which is a nice touch. Which isn’t that big of an issue, there are a lot of Starks floating around. Artos Stark has descendants and maybe he, his kids, or even some other Stark has a bastard or several running around. Though I’d think having a direwolf for a companion would have clinched the deal and elevated Jon’s status.
