LONDON -- Remember how crushingly sad you were when Ygritte died, and her and Jon Snow's all-too-brief romance was brought to a blunt, painful end?

Well, dry those eyes. Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who were photographed together earlier in the year, hit the red carpet at Sunday's Olivier Awards in London as an official couple, proving the universe isn't quite as nightmarishly tragic as George R. R. Martin would have us believe.

Since they were pictured together back in 2012 there have been rumours about Harington and Leslie's relationship -- apparently they split up in 2013, but there have been conflicting reports since of them getting back together on-and-off -- but now there's no doubt; Jon Snow and Ygritte have been re-united at last.

Looks like death doesn't have to be the end after all, right Jon?
