Oh festive prompt 27 puhhhhleese!!

Last one! 😊 A little post-ADWD book canon that is not exactly festive but does have snow.

(I appreciate the asks from people! The fics that I didn't post separately to AO3, I'll add to my A Job Lot of Junk collection after this.)

27. confessing a crush when it's snowing

In the end, the sun rose again. Though it had felt like it would never happen, the Long Night finally ended.

The winter hadn't, though. Jaime had hoped, when the last Other had fallen, that they would take the snow with them--but his luck had never been that good.

At least, not until Brienne of Tarth had dragged him across Westeros.

Some would say she had been the start of his bad luck, and there had been a time he would have agreed. Losing a hand would make even the most stalwart idealist falter, and he had burned away his idealism long ago.

But since she had stormed into his life with her stubborn honor and bullheaded bravery, he had never felt more grateful for being alive. He had intended to tell her so a hundred times, but there had always been distance, or something more important between them, or his own cowardice. Now that they had survived the Long Night, there were no more excuses. Plans were already being made for what came next, and he could not bear the thought of not being part of hers. He had to tell her, or risk losing her forever.

If only he could find her.

"You don't know where she is? Are you not her squire?" he demanded of the trembling stick of a boy in front of him a few days after the Long Night.

"Y-y-y-yes, s-s-s-ser."

"How do you lose a person that size, then?"

Podrick flinched, as though expecting a blow. "S-s-s-s-s-sorry, s-s-s-ser."

Jaime sighed and forced himself to calm. He had seen Brienne just last night, when he had watched her eat a meal of mostly inedible mush with Podrick and the useless Hyle Hunt. It wasn't the boy's fault she was an eternally early riser with a predilection for solitude, even after the most difficult and dangerous battle of their lives.

"Never mind," he told the boy more kindly. "I'll find her myself."

The boy was still stuttering over his thanks as Jaime walked away.

*****

"There you are!" he finally said, hours later. He'd tromped all over and through Winterfell until he'd finally decided she'd run away in the night, or been taken by grumkins. Then, on his way to the stables to procure a horse to search for her further afield to make sure she hadn't died, he'd found her exiting them. The snow had started to fall again, and Jaime felt a shiver roll through him.

"Where have you been?" he nearly shouted. "I looked everywhere for you."

Brienne came to a halt, her blue eyes going very wide and darting away, as if he'd caught her doing something she shouldn't. No one had been forbidden from leaving Winterfell, though it was foolish to go alone so soon after the Long Night.

"I... I went for a ride," she said in the soft voice he heard in his dreams.

"On your own? Without even telling your poor, worried squire?"

Her massive brow furrowed. "You spoke with Podrick?"

"I couldn't very well speak with you, could I?" he snarled.

That furrow turned into an annoyed crease.

"I am free to go where and when I please, Ser. Just as you are."

He laughed dully. "Indeed." The snow was falling harder now. "You are entirely free. Free to take rides by yourself in the countryside. Free to eat with that useless hedge knight, Hunt. You could even scamper back to Tarth tomorrow, if you wanted."

Brienne huffed, loud as a bear. "Were you only looking for for me to harangue me about my independence? If so, might we do it inside where it's warmer?"

He planted his feet and blinked away the snowflakes that were sticking to his lashes. "Here is fine. So tell me, my lady, why were you out riding with nary a word to anyone?"

There went her eyes again, escaping his gaze to stare somewhere off his left ear. "I needed the air."

Jaime gestured around them. "There is more than enough air here."

"I do not have to explain myself to you," she groused. She started to move past him and he grabbed her wrist. She spun, her other hand coming up as if to fight and he released her immediately. "What do you want?" Her voice was thin and sharp as an icicle.

"I want to know what you're hiding from me."

"Nothing." She looked almost as if she might cry, and a fissure cracked across his heart.

"Brienne," he said softly and she bit down on her thick, chapped lip. "You promised me no more lies." She flushed, her head drooping. "I want only to help you. So tell me: why did you go out on your own? Why did you tell no one?" And then, because he could not stop himself, he pleaded, "Why did you not tell me?"

Her hands wrapped around each other, her knuckles red from the cold. Snow was trapped in her thin, plaited hair and had started turning her nose an unsightly pink where it melted upon it.

He thought she might choose rather to freeze than to speak, until she said in a resigned voice, "I needed to think. And I needed to be away from you to do it."

The chasm of concern that had opened in his chest iced over in the bitter wind of her words. "I see."

"It is not what you think," she hurriedly said.

The snow swirled around them, but Jaime felt none of it, numb inside and out. "It seems very clear to me."

"You... confuse me," she explained haltingly, her hands throttling each other. "I cannot think clearly when you are near."

The ice ceased hardening, and he held himself very still. "I did not realize my mere presence was such a problem."

She exhaled sharply, a warm blast of air in the cold. "You are vexing," she said, as though scolding him. "And confounding. And I needed clarity."

"About what?" he asked, desperate to understand.

"About you." Brienne's hands waved wide and wild in the air, swirling snowflakes all around her. "About why you would search all of Winterfell looking for me and then act as if you don't care once you are here. About how we fought at each other's side through all the Long Night, and yet we barely even eat together now that it is done. About what you did for me with Lady Catelyn." Her voice had dropped, almost lost in the snow. "And how you have refused my every gratitude since."

Jaime sighed. "That was nothing to be grateful for."

"I am grateful."

"Because you are a naive fool."

She growled and took a threatening step nearer. He felt his blood pump to life, heating his veins and cracking the ice.

"A fool I may be, but I am not naive," she said with a force and conviction that made his spine jolt with pride--and his knees weak with something far less honorable. "Not any longer. Not after all I have been through." She pierced him with her astonishing blue eyes. "Not after all we have been through."

His usually reliable tongue failed him, and Jaime could only draw a pitiful excuse for a smirk upon his face.

Brienne frowned. "You have had my honest answer, ser, now give me yours: why were you so determined to find me? What do you want?"

The snow blew about them, white and cold and a distant reminder of the dark freeze that had so recently gripped the world. But for Jaime, it was spring in Brienne's eyes, in the familiar, frustrated concern in her face. In the way his heart was blooming in his chest, shaking off the lingering frost.

"What do I want?" he repeated, a slow, simmering smile growing on his face. Brienne only looked more wary--and he found it endearing. "I should think that was obvious. I want you, Brienne."

"For what?"

He chuckled fondly. "For whatever you wish of me. I find myself at odds and ends when you are not there to drag me about."

She glowered at him. "I do not drag you."

"Not any longer," he allowed. Then, with all the seriousness of intention he could muster, he said, "Now, I follow you willingly. I want to follow you for as many days as you will allow me, Brienne. Wherever you may go."

He knew it was not the snow that made her cheeks swirl suddenly pink. The color reminded him of the first sunrise after the Long Night--and he was as grateful for and overwhelmed by it.

"I would rather you walked beside me," she said in hushed tones, her eyes searching his own.

He hoped she could see the truth in them when he replied, "That is a place I fought demons off to be."

"Do you not see that I fought for that place by you as well?" she asked without reprimand.

He inhaled sharply, her words filling his very lungs. She had found him as often as he had her during the battles. She had found him from the beginning, the lost and lonely man that everyone else had overlooked. "Perhaps I am the fool," he said in a choked voice.

He held out his hand and she took it. He felt her trembling as they walked hand-in-hand across the courtyard. The snow slowed to a caressing drift, and the sun fought valiantly through the flat white of the sky to peek through in the distance. Perhaps later there would be warmth and the first breath of spring.

It was a marvelous day to be alive, and walking beside Brienne.

From the upcoming debut of my new story, which...still needs a title!!! Maybe something will come to me between now and Saturday, when it makes its debut. This is the Fandom Trumps Hate fic that the wonderful @winterstale24 won at auction earlier this year!! Here's a bit of what you can expect:

Jaime didn’t know which bastard opened the door to his borrowed bedroom, but he was going to kill them. As soon as his head stopped hurting. And he had the energy to get out from under the mound of blankets that he now pulled over his head to block the light. And the motivation to give a shit about anything.

The heavy duvet was yanked away along with the thick woolen blanket, leaving him with only a thin sheet for cover. Jaime cursed loudly and lashed out with his right arm, hoping to land a blow and get his blankets back, but whoever had stolen his protective armor from the world had been smart enough to step away.

“Gods,” a voice said, sounding like it was on the verge of gagging. “When’s the last time you showered?”

“Fuck you, Tyrion,” Jaime snarled before he buried his head beneath the pillow. He had less than ten seconds to enjoy the oblivion of darkness and quiet before it too was ripped away with ease. “Godsdammit, leave me alone!”

“That’s the problem,” another voice said. “We’ve left you alone for far too long. You’re acting like it’s the end of the world when you’ve been through far worse. Time for you to get up, put on your big boy pants, and get back out into the world.”

“Any more cliches you want to spew there, Gal?” Tyrion asked wryly.

“I have an entire bag, and I’ll use every one of them if I have to.” Galladon Tarth raised his voice, as if his regular tones couldn’t be heard clear to the island of his birth. “You hear that, Jaime? You’ll have to endure every cliché in the Common Tongue if you don’t get out of that bed now.”

#dee writes things #jaime lannister #brienne of tarth #featuring Tyrion Lannister #and Galladon Tarth!!#right now this is known as “Grumpy Boss”#for reasons that will be made clear later #and if I can't come up with something else #that'll be the title #fanfiction #jaime x brienne

WIP Wishlist Round Eighteen

WIP Wishlists

Themed set this month: Only one chapter, still obsessed.

Of Tarth by SandwichesYumYum (8,763 words, first posted 24 Dec 2014)

Summary: Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth. A dark fic. Please read the notes and consider all trigger warnings in play. Thank you kindly.

Things I Love: The world building, Jaime leading men (of the west, of Tarth, free folk) to rescue Brienne, all the questions the first chapter raises, Pod and Brienne’s reunion, how this premise haunts me.

Or die in the attempt by Zeta_Mei @zetaaa (1,209 words, first posted 12 May 2021)

Summary: Brienne realizes that Lord Bolton is planning to betray King Robb.

Things I Love: Brienne’s intelligence and competence as she works out Bolton’s betrayal, Jaime trying to take care of her while maintaining his sharp edges, his worry over her when she disappears, the potential of this premise, Brienne possibly having the chance to rescue Lady Catelyn.

she can’t be convicted, she’s earned her degree by aeemmmoor @kishibashiing (5,165 words, first posted 20 Nov 2022)

Summary: Cersei has always been the ambitious one. She followed doggedly in their father’s footsteps where Jaime meandered, did entrepreneurship workshops while he skipped classes. So when Tywin Lannister gives Jaime a prestigious position at the family company and consigns Cersei to a small women's liberal arts college, she comes up with a plot to turn the tables. Disguised as Jaime, she will take the job, proving to their father that she can manage the business, while Jaime, disguised as Cersei, will attend the college in her stead, dodging his father’s expectations.

Nothing bad could possibly happen as a result of this.

Things I Love: Jaime and Cersei swapping places, Cersei’s ambition, Cersei’s gender issues, how intrigued Jaime is by the plan but how strange it feels too, Cersei’s height, Tyrion’s response to everything, the obsessive love that does not lead to incest.

Rewriting History by Bellatrix_Wannabe_89 @lariskapargitay (1,748 words, first posted 22 April 2021)

Summary: When they told him his name was Jaime Lannister after he woke up from the accident with no memory, that felt right. When they told him he was a knight of the Kingsguard, that also felt right. But when the green eyed queen told him he was her lover, and that the tall blonde woman in her dungeon was a danger to the realm and had tried her best to destroy the unconditional eternal love he and Cersei shared… That didn’t feel right. That didn’t feel right at all.

Things I Love: Jaime’s dream with echoes of book canon, Cersei twisting his history with Brienne, Cersei’s vicious love familiar to him if not right, his growing fear of her cunning and cold danger.

Dead Romantic by winterstale24 (2,520 words, first posted 19 July 2022)

Summary: “Keep me true, Lady” he whispered into the chill air. “Help me be worthy.”

And he would be. But it was over 700 summers until he got the chance.

Things I Love: Jaime praying to the Maiden in the stars, Brienne the archaeologist, competent and smart even as she’s shy and slow to speak, Jaime recognising Brienne and treating her as his wench to her utter confusion, Jaime’s dialogue, the humour.

Fic Exchange Roundup: Book Canon

Prisoners of fate by Vayalda for ilikeblue

After having survived the encounter with Lady Stoneheart, dire news reach Brienne and Jaime when they recover on the Quiet Isle. Aegon Targaryen has taken the Stormlands and Tarth with his Golden Company while rumors run rampant that Daenerys Targaryen readies three grown dragons and an army to attack King’s Landing. Needing to go their separate ways to do their duty, Brienne and Jaime don’t know if they’ll ever see each other again, as the wheel of fortune is always turning and no one’s fate is certain.

pillow talk by djelibeybi for yellowswift

There are still a lot of things Brienne is afraid to say, but she's trying to be brave.

Yield by Anonymous for Nenko

“Yield, or I’ll drown you."

“And break your oath,” he snarled. “Like me?”

She let him go, and he went down with a splash.

Her blood ran hot. Never. Never had she lost control like that. Never had a man made her so angry as Jaime Lannister.

Or: What would happen if the swordfight in the river was never interrupted by the Bloody Mummers.

Great Golden Fool by Aviss for Musing_and_Music

He remembered with blinding clarity, remembered following Brienne of Tarth, the honourable godsdamned liar, into a trap. He had not suspected a thing, too concerned with the sorry state of her and the guilt of being the one who sent her on that inane quest instead of returning her to her father the way he should have.

His last chance for honour, what a jest. He really was a great golden fool.

only walk beside me by paintingcranes for thebothsandneithers

“I have one request,” Jaime called.

You dare make demands of me? Lady Stoneheart growled. Have you no shame?

“Just one,” he swallowed, trying to find the humor in his own request, but only landing on regret. “I wish to die at the hands of the Maid of Tarth.”

“Send me back,” Eurydice would have called out to her husband as he walked on. “Send me back to the Stranger. You have to let me go, so you can live.”

Brienne and Jaime disagree on an old tale of love.

Don't let go of my hand by blinkbot (zoetrope731) for RaineyDay

This might have been a bad idea, thought Sansa, but I can't do anything about it now.

and then, love by jadeug for Weboury

Few children born during The Long Winter survived, but Duncan Lannister of Tarth was one of them.

I'm grateful (that you are alive) by Musing_and_Music for dreams_oath_bear

After the encounter between Jaime Lannister and Lady Stoneheart, Podrick sees the way the knight behaves with his Ser-lady, and wonders about their relationship. He makes unexpected allies on the way to bring them together.

Stolen Kisses by dreams_oath_bear for Angelic_Temptress

Brienne as a kitchen wench - enough said :)

Kink 🪢

Milking It by catherineflowers Brienne has just returned to work from maternity leave. Jaime needs to stop thinking about her inappropriately.

One and Only by winterstale24 Another time plans are thwarted by Jaime's inconvenient boner. Or is it perfectly convenient? Waving away plot and conflicts here!

Gemstones and skin by LionStar (Mel_Sanfo) Months after Jaime's car 'accident' he discovers a secret his father has been keeping from him.

A very quick list of JB Smut Swap Recs

There are literally just minutes before the author reveal for the 2022 JB Smut Swap, but I've uhhhh been very busy finishing writing my fic (which is new and different for me and doesn't happen like clockwork EVERY SINGLE EXCHANGE, ahem) but... these are a few fics that I came back to this week:

she's magnetic

@jamlanlovedyou

suction? There? That sounds… intriguing

Ooooh my gift fic!!! I am still so tickled that my lovely gift author went with this prompt and it's brilliantly done, exceedingly hot and will also make you want to go hunt down lifesize duck models so you can buy clothes for them..

Milking It

@catherineflowers29

Brienne has just returned to work from maternity leave. Jaime needs to stop thinking about her inappropriately

I think this takes the prize for most delightfully overtly kinky fic in the exchange but there's a reason it's currently got the third most kudos in the whole exchange - unexpectedly sweet and funny as well as leaning into the kink in a way that people seem to appreciate

What happens in volantis

@kiraziwrites

Jaime and Brienne decide to fulfill a long-cherished fantasy while on vacation—and Volantis has a surprise in store for them

Who doesn't love a super hot and smutty J/B threesome with Oberyn??? This is gorgeously done and exceedingly hot, absolutely love it

One and Only

winterstale24

switchy rope play

This is a lovely, soft, very quiet shibari fic, and I love the way it uses the switch element between them!

Drink Deep

@captainelliecomb

Murderer. Monster. Man without honour.

She loves him, all of him, even so.

Absolutely ADORE this vampire/hunter AU - the world building is complex, their dynamics are gorgeously complicated and it's just hot and all round wonderful stuff - definitely deserves more attention!!

Crossroad Blues

@janiedean

“You summoned me,” he shrugs. “And you still haven’t told me why a vampire would need to make a deal.”

Another vampire AU - this time Brienne is a vamp and Jaime is a crossroads demon who wants to make a deal. Very sweet and an intriguing set-up and worldbuilding that plays out brilliantly.

the star to every wand'ring bark

@firesign23

A triptych of scenes from a marriage

Simply lovely, soft and very gentle exploration of kinks over three scenes, with absolutely gorgeous writing

Shoreline

@catherineflowers29

“I’m a Septon,” he lies. His voice raspy, his throat parched. “Seeking safety on holy ground.”

This fic never quite does what you expect - it's wonderfully done, very soft and entirely rewarding, and the smut is very much entirely a part of the characters. Really lovely stuff!

What Happens in Dorne

@wildlingoftarth

It being, of course, Jaime and Brienne's explosive sexual encounter with Addam Marbrand in college - and the possibilities when they reunite with him at Cleos' destination wedding.

I love me some JAB smut, and this is a brilliantly done take on them reuniting with Addam at a wedding, and making the most of everyone else being distracted. Super hot and lovely character stuff!

#jb smut swap 2022 #fic recs #finally remembered to go back and tag everyone a week later...!!

Fic Exchange Roundup: Historical AUs

1926 by tuliptoes for ImberReader

One year after a mysterious illness swept the world, Jaime journeys to Tarth to visit Brienne and find out her true feelings about him.

I'm Betting Everything I've Got On You by ilikeblue for KendraPendragon

The silence after was thick with tension. It was Brienne who finally huffed and walked to the sideboard, filling a tumbler with ice and whiskey. After a large sip, she sighed. “I believe we have additional matters of breeding to discuss, gentlemen. Best get on with it.” Jaime was halfway through his own swallow; he choked until it burned. “Brienne!” Selwyn was red-faced. “That’s no way to start–” “Come on, Father. We’re all adults here.” She turned to Jaime, and for the first time he noticed her eyes. They were endless blue, the color of sunny, summer skies. He was held in their still certainty. “Mr. Jaime Lannister was caught by the housekeeper in bed with his married cousin, so his reputation is in shambles.” She had the gall to follow that statement with a gentle smile. “And while I might be the least coveted filly in this trade, I can offer him an out.”

Headlong by sea_spirit for winterstale24

Miss Brienne Tarth doesn’t mind watching the social whirl of the season from the periphery. She would rather go riding or to the races than attend a ball, and she enjoys Lord Pennytree’s Sporting Weekly far more than any of Sansa Stark’s favored society papers. But when the Duke of Casterly returns to Westeros, her old friend sees what others do not—forcing Brienne to reckon with him, their past, and the secret she's been keeping from them all.

what spring does with the cherry trees. by SeeThemFlying for paintingcranes

You are here. Oh, you do not run away. You will answer me to the last cry. Cling to me as though you were frightened. Even so, at one time a strange shadow ran through your eyes. - "Every Day You Play" by Pablo Neruda.

Illicit Affairs by Ladybugbear2 for LibKat

They married in secret Not because they were ashamed He certainly wasn’t ashamed But she worried So they made a plan

you who know what love is by cardinalgirl75 for Octamercuria

In order to secure his brother's happiness, Ser Jaime agrees to remarry someone his father deems suitable for a man of his station. His neighbor's spinster daughter, Lady Brienne, is not one of his options.

Such a Fuss Over So Little by auntie_social for Aviss

You are cordially invited to a series of increasingly ridiculous masquerade balls, in which Miss Brienne Tarth and Ser Jaime Lannister meet, dance, quarrel, and are eventually maneuvered to a reconciliation not so much because of their siblings' intervention as in spite of them.

Fic Exchange Roundup: Fantasy and Sci-Fi AUs Pt. 1

The One Where... by LadyRhiyana for EmpressM

5 times Brienne solves Jaime's problems. And one time he returns the favour.

Dead Romantic by winterstale24 for greenmtwoman (WIP)

“Keep me true, Lady” he whispered into the chill air. “Help me be worthy.” And he would be. But it was over 700 summers until he got the chance.

Calling the blame, let me own it by LadyRhiyana for Entireoranges

Do you truly regret none of it? A voice asked. If you had the chance, if you could choose one moment to go back to – would you do anything differently? I don’t regret anything, he told the voice defiantly. But if I must choose, well, why not choose an opportunity for foolish chivalry? It will hurt, the voice warned him. All knights must bleed, he said. ** Or; Jaime is given a second chance at a redemption arc.

Mend by languageintostillair for auntie_social

Tarth Repairs, declares the unassuming hand-painted sign across her shopfront, and a smaller neon sign that lights up at night. Its flickering glow, so different from the other ageing holographic displays on the outer edges of Cobbler’s Square, illuminates the tagline: “We can fix anything”.

Mirror Mirror by EmpressM for Renee561

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom, and in that kingdom, there was a palace. In that palace, there was a great hall with a gilded mirror next to the royal throne. The throne would glow in radiant light for the rightful ruler of the land, but that light had not been seen in some time. A humble footman hurried past that throne in the night, carrying no candle or lantern, pausing to listen for voices. There were none nearby, but there was someone else listening and watching. Or: Brienne searches an enchanted castle for Lady Sansa.

In the Quiet at the End of the World by gypsyscarfwoman for elizadunc (Ladybugbear2)

When the world as they know it suddenly changes, Brienne and Jaime set off on a journey through Westeros that involves far more teenagers and other unexpected twists in the road than they signed up for…

like a river flows (surely to the sea) by fckloyalty for Mel_Sanfo

Brienne is an ordinary teenager. Well, not really. Because Brienne is also... a mermaid. When the merman bachelor, THE heir to the throne is throwing his 18th birthday party Brienne couldn’t care less. Until he, Jaime Lannister, suddenly starts getting closer to her and she’s not so sure anymore if she’s immune to his charm.

Modern AU 📱

Seismic - winterstale24 Something had shifted in him, shifted the ground underneath him. Brienne was the one true thing, the one and only constant in his life. The day of the ball approached. And his thoughts had turned to something not-at-all friendly.

Good Long Line of Praises - aliveanddrunkonsunlight Jaime liked to talk during sex.

This was hardly surprising to Brienne, who has listened to him go on at length about why he prefers coffee over tea, which championship season of the King’s Landing Knights was the best and why, and the benefits of his favorite t-shirt. (It was a good t-shirt. She often stole it when she was at his place.)

left your fingerprints all over me - cardinalgirl75 Jaime didn’t know why it took so long for him and Brienne to become what was known, in the common vernacular, as “friends with benefits.” It was a term they both hated though neither could quite say why, but they hated “fuck buddies” even more and neither wanted to think about the implication behind the word “lovers.”

Popcorn - cytara Brienne and Jaime, bickering co-workers at a dine-in cinema, struggle to overcome the demands of their work and their feelings.

If you see something you like, the fic you received, or the fic you wrote, please feel free to reblog! If you see a fic you missed, click away! Share the love!

Historical/Genre AU

Catch me if you can, Lannister! by Ro_Nordmann for a_wide_and_roiling_sea

(Oneshot | 1,267 words | Alternate Universe - Bounty Hunters)

It wasn’t much of a shock that once I woke up, her scent was everywhere, embedded inside my nostrils, covering my skin and inside my wretched-fucking soul. I tried to move but my limbs felt numb from being locked into the same position for hours, bound in cuffs, and sharing the same space with Babydoll.

It was inconceivable that her legs were so long and must be asleep as mine, as they held me down, covered in tight black jeans that outlined her fit physique. I wanted to peel them off and kiss every scar on her skin, a vivid testament to her tenacity and skill.

Lay Your Heartbreak by sdwolfpup for Cerulean_Phoenix7

(6/6 Chapters | 28,665 words | Alternate Universe - Bodyguard, Near Future)

Everyone but Addam has been fired or scared away by the raging lion, and she's the only fresh meat left.

But Brienne agrees to take this job specifically to help him, because he's helped her since she first joined the protection force. She will not let Jaime Lannister scare her away, too.

In some sense, she's the perfect choice: Jaime's ability requires touch to work, and no one touches Brienne.

Brienne Payne might be a glorified, flannel-wearing barmaid, but she lusted for Valyrian steel as much as Jaime did. Hells, he knew the answer two swords ago, the first time he’d crossed the threshold of The Evenstar and asked her to take him out on the Tarth fells for a look around.
