Stop constantly writing post-Dracula novels about how the Harkers cheat on each other and divorce and Jack turns into Jack the Ripper and everyone but Dracula was the Real Monster Actually and start writing ones where Jonathan reunites with the crucifix lady and the coachman and they dine together with Mina and their little boy.

Dracula Daily Year 1: Aww, our good friend Jonathan is poor little meow meow.
Dracula Daily Year 2: Our good friend Jonathan is in a legit horror story, and I have literary analysis to share.
Dracula Daily Year 3: We have created a metanarrative wherein not only is our good friend Jonathan in a legit horror story, but he is also cursed to live in a horrifying time loop until we stop doing this.

Another adorable Jonmina thing I noticed (and I’m going to keep noticing them) is that Jonathan was definitely being put into some kind of trance by Count Dracula when they’re on the way to the castle. The endless stops, the circling back, the wolves, etc. I don’t know exactly how, but I think it was to lull Jonathan into a state of exhaustion or panic he couldn’t get out of so he’s more susceptible to suggestion and doesn’t notice anything off about his surroundings at all. Or he does, but he’s too scared to fight back against it, it’s unclear to me which (I’m sure y’all have a better idea!).
For the most part it works except…that’s right, folks!!! He remembers Mina again.
“Was this a customary incident in the life of a solicitor's clerk sent out to explain the purchase of a London estate to a foreigner? Solicitor's clerk! Mina would not like that. Solicitor—for just before leaving London I got word that my examination was successful; and I am now a full-blown solicitor! I began to rub my eyes and pinch myself to see if I were awake.”
Remembering Mina, while it doesn’t take away his fears entirely, does make him pinch himself to wake up and remind him why he needs to get out of there. Plus, it keeps him observant enough to notice that the Count and the driver almost seem like the same person…hmm. He might’ve noticed it regardless, but who’s to say?
Also, I find it cute that he remembers her in a sense of her hyping him up like “no Jonathan!!! You’re a solicitor now! Give yourself the right title.”
Just…THEM!!!!!

In Leonard Wolf's Essential Dracula, there's a footnote with a recipe for Paprika Hendl as it would've been served to Jonathan Harker:
I wholeheartedly recommend modifying this recipe as it's very "grandma cooking" in the sense that it automatically assumes you know how to do certain Common Kitchen Techniques For Victorian Cooks (like, you know, just make flour dumplings with zero instructions) - so here's my best take on the recipe, below the cut:
PAPRIKA HENDL À LA ESSENTIAL DRACULA (makes 6 servings)
4 lbs young chicken
2 tablespoons fat (substitute: oil)
2 large onions, chopped
2 tablespoons Hungarian Paprika (I went with Sweet)
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup sour cream
Cut chicken into serving sized portions
In a skillet, lightly brown onions in fat/oil
Blend in HALF the Hungarian Paprika into the skillet of sizzling oil & onions
To the skillet of spiced & browned onions, add the tomato juice and chicken, cover the skillet, and let simmer for ONE (1) WHOLE HOUR
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat flour into sour cream
After that 1 hour, remove chicken from skillet and set it aside on a plate, wrap in tin foil, and contain in oven/microwave to keep warm
In the still simmering sauce in the skillet, add the flour & sour cream mixture and add to the sauce with the remaining Paprika. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until well-blended
Pour half the skillet's sauce through a sieve or colander into a sauce boat - set aside sauce boat for serving later
Return chicken to skillet with still simmering sauce until fully warmed back up
Serve chicken on a warm platter, pouring the skillet's sauce over it and with the sauce boat on the side
Serve with flour dumplings
NOTES
1) Simmering 4 lbs of store-bought chicken breast in only 1/2 a cup of tomato juice for 1 WHOLE HOUR had me panicking and adding water and whatever canned tomatoes I could find just so I didn't burn the chicken (and the kitchen) as that was not nearly enough tomato juice to keep 4 lbs of chicken simmering for 60 solid minutes - so please modify at will, comparing with other recipes, etc.
2) The recipe calls for taking out the finished sauce and putting it through a "food mill" so I tried putting the sauce in a blender to try and turn the onions into sauce as well. DO NOT DO THAT. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES. It was a disastrous mess. That's why I modified the recipe above to just pour half the sauce through a colander into a sauce boat.
3) Oh, I'm just supposed to make flour dumplings from scratch?? I cobbled together a recipe off the internet in that long hour of simmering, the source of which has since strayed from thought and time (apologies) - so I would heartily recommend either buying store-bought flour dumplings or looking up a flour dumpling recipe ahead of time, as making them from scratch for the first time with a simmering skillet beside you is Quite Tricky
4) I added more Paprika than the recipe called for (gasp!) and honestly... I would recommend DOUBLING the Paprika in this recipe. My partner and I wanted more Paprika!! But we are fans of spiced meat actually tasting like spices and not a subtle "oh yeah I guess there's Paprika in there"
Even with all that improvising on an 125+ year old recipe with missing steps, it made for the most delicious comfort food. 14/10, would eat again with queer dreams

Adding another song to that list:
youtube
If you want more jonmina songs!
"Francesca" by Hozier I'll tell them put me back in it/Darling, I would do it again/If I could hold you for a minute/Darling, I'd go through it again
"Lovesong" by The Cure Whenever I’m alone with you/You make me feel like I am free again/You make me feel like I am clean again
"Heaven, Iowa" by FOB Kiss my cheek, baby, please/Would you read my eulogy?/Tell me, when the party ends/Will you still love who I am/Scar-crossed lovers forever/I'm checking myself out forever/I'm saving this all for later/Scar-crossed lovers forever/Here we are untouched forever/I closed my eyes inside of your darkness/And found your glow
"I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab For Cutie No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white;/Just our hands clasped so tight,/Waiting for the hint of a spark./If heaven and hell decide,/That they both are satisfied,/Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs:/If there's no one beside you,/When your soul embarks;/Then I'll follow you into the dark.
hello!! sorry for the wait!! have this arthur/lucy doodle that i colored while listening to the music
okay okay the songs
francesca: the first lines of the song got me man. jonathan telling mina that he won't ever give up on her. him asking her if she really thinks he would. (and like. she knows the answer. it doesn't even have to be said, i think.) "it was too soon/when that part of you was ripped away/a grip taking hold/like a cancer that grows/each piece of your body that it takes." mmmmm PERFECT i'm loving it honestly.
lovesong: mm nice vibes. v chill. all four of these r p chill honestly, i like ur taste. anyhow. i liked the "i will always love you" part of this song best, particularly with the "however far away" and "however far i stay" bits!! they r In Love.
heaven, iowa: (ah music man flashbacks. nothing halfway about the iowa way to treat you when we treat you which we may not do at all!) SCAR CROSSED LOVERS???? yes PLEASE lol. yes i love the whole song.
i will follow you into the dark: i am familiar with this from my les mis days. not much of an exr shipper but i do appreciate george blagden's dedication. anyways. "if heaven an hell decide/that they both are satisfied/illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs/if there's no one beside you when your sould embarks/i will follow you into the dark." is that not almost verbatim what jonathan told mina. is it not! i very much enjoy this song.
and some bonus songs courtesy of @everythinandanything!!!
when they call my name (black veil brides): that! first! verse! mmmm yes. and then, the chorus? i heard it as jonathan being uncertain, and mina comforting him, but gosh it could really very much go both ways......yes very good song.
follow you (bring me the horizon): i think. any song about total devotion. even to hell. is jonmina coded. like that "holiest love" thing is hard to get away from lol. anyway "cross my heart and hope to die/promise you i'll never leave your side" had me hooked.
