The idea of a Jon & Ygritte AU set around WWI has always been very tempting. I made an edit a little while ago, which you can find here

and I read this amazing fic by ygrittebardots - which everyone should read

The video is not strictly based on either work, since there is so little footage of Kit Harington, but I think the story speaks pretty much speaks for itself. It was definitely inspired a lot by the amazing fic.

I have to apologize for the awful quality of some clips. The only footage I could use for Jon was from the 'Testament of Youth' trailer, and the quality isn't really what I wanted.
