HBOThe tension between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen is the the biggest will-they-won’t-they to hit TV since Ross and Rachel in Friends, and the internet is going off with photos of the pair embraced in a kiss on set.
Winter has come to Westeros as Game of Thrones reaches its season 7 finale, but as things hot up, photos from a 2012 Rolling Stone photo shoot have set the internet ablaze.
Apparently nobody minds the TV-based incest or the context. Oh, Internet, what have you become?

Jon (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), on-screen nephew and aunt, were shot getting up close and personal for the magazine, and with their relationship getting steamier with every scene fans are riding the edge of their seats.

The photos of potentially the cutest, incestuous couple in Westeros definitely have a bit of a buzz about them.
Photographer Peggy Sitora said as much in her caption:
It was a small crew on that day, just a few of us out in the field. The chemistry between these four was huge, as you can see… I asked them to kiss, I suppose love was in the air, & I was just lucky enough to be there.
It’s not even the on-screen incest chemistry that’s stomach churning, these two are just too lovey for the Seven Kingdoms.
