Jon of the Kingsguard by TacitWhisky

Summary
Jon speaks the words of the Kingsguard kneeling in a sept of seven glass walls before seven southron gods that are not his own. Barristan Selmy touches his sword to either of Jon’s shoulders and Jon swears to serve a king he hates, to forsake lands and titles and to never sire sons or know a woman’s touch. “Stand vigil till morning,” Selmy tells him when it is done, and drapes a white cloak over his shoulders. “We will have need of you at the crowning of good King Joffrey and Queen Sansa.”
TLDR: AU where Jon goes to Kingslanding instead of the Wall, there’s no war, and he becomes a knight of the kingsguard even as Joffrey marries Sansa. As Joffrey’s true colors inevitably show Jon is forced to choose between southern chivalry and northern duty.

Summary
As the enchantment of the Yule Ball begins to fade and the castle corridors fall quiet, Draco Malfoy stumbles upon the aftermath of a very public Gryffindor quarrel. Hidden in the shadows, he overhears Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley clashing over Viktor Krum—jealousy sharp in every word. What begins as idle amusement quickly becomes something far more personal when Draco steps forward, intent on provoking her.
Their confrontation unfolds in a blaze of razor-edged wit and simmering tension. Draco coolly exposes Ron’s envy, only to betray his own interest in the process. Hermione, fierce and unyielding, matches every barb with cutting precision, refusing to be diminished. A reluctant compliment slips through, pride clashes with pride, and beneath their hostility lies something neither is ready to name.
They part as they always do—declaring mutual disdain—but the night leaves them both unsettled. Rivalry has never felt quite so electric.
