    Summary

    Jon Snow returns to King’s Landing carrying the quiet weight of survival and the fragile hope of beginning again. Living under his father’s roof, he’s learning what it means to have a home, to let the walls inside him thaw, and to trust that warmth doesn’t always fade. But starting over isn’t as simple as he imagined—old ghosts linger in familiar halls, and comfort, when offered, can feel more frightening than loneliness.

    Jaime Lannister has spent his life being who others needed him to be; the golden son, the man shaped by everyone but himself. When the ties of family begin to loosen, he’s left to face a question he’s never dared to ask—who is Jaime, without the weight of his name? And why does one quiet boy with winter in his eyes make him feel like the answer might finally be within reach?

    Drawn together by shared silence and small kindnesses, Jon and Jaime begin to rebuild in the aftermath of everything that broke them. What starts as an unspoken understanding deepens into something neither expected—an honest, fragile kind of love that grows not in the absence of pain, but in spite of it.
