Daenerys Targaryen/Jorah Mormont, also known as Jornaerys or Jorleesi, is the het pairing of Daenerys Targaryen and Jorah Mormont in the A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones fandoms.

Nobody in Westeros and Essos combined loves the mother of Dragons with the same intensity Ser Jorah does.

Canon

Daenerys and Jorah first meet at her wedding to Khal Drogo, Jorah is an exiled westerosi knight living in Essos and Daenerys an exiled princess. Jorah travels with the Dothraki to spy on Daenerys and her brother Viserys. Over time Jorah comes to love her. After the death of her brother, husband and unborn child Jorah remains with her as she conquers Slaver's Bay. In Season 4 it is revealed that he had betrayed her in the past, and she banishes him. He returns with Tyrion Lannister, again he is turned away, but is ultimately forgiven when he helps save her life during the rebellion in the fighting pits. Jorah contracts greyscale, a disease he believes to be a death sentence, but Daenerys commands him to find a cure. Jorah seeks treatment at the Citadel, and is cured by Samwell Tarly, before returning to Daenerys' side.
