Fics like Beneath the Gold, the Bitter Steel. Beneath the Bitter Steel, the Good Heart

One thing that always bugged me about Game of Thrones was that Jon felt like his only option was to join the Night's Watch at fifteen. Like I know Ned, had his reasons for not fostering or legitimizing him, but its kind of sad Jon felt like his only option was to join a glorified Penal Colony and sign his life away. So what if Jon decided he was not going to swear to be the Shield that guards the Realms of men, but swear beneath the Skull of Bittersteel to help sit Daemon Blackfyre's great granddaughter, on the Iron Throne? This decision works surprisingly well, not just for him, but for all of Westeros. Afterall, why forsake sex, lands and titles, when you can marry a She-Bear, live on an island and become Captain-General of the most famous and honorable sellsword company in the world?
