I've been working on these for months! My versions of book Brienne and Jaime. I'm still not exactly one hundred percent happy with them but I knew if I didn't stop myself, I'd never finish. Enjoy!

wait wait wait actually you know what ship is a better parallel to crowley and aziraphale than stede and blackbeard???

fucking jaime and brienne

brienne spends her whole life dedicated to kindness and goodness, to doing the right thing in all circumstances. not because any authorities above her actually compell her to do so, but because she is convinced that they do. she is convinced in the goodness of the authorities she submits herself to. she believes in the rightness of the system.

jaime belongs to a family that does harm to others as a matter of course. through his family, and through doing an ultimately good thing in his youth, jaime has been cemented in other people's eyes as evil. underneath it he's driven by love and cares deeply about the world and its people. he learned very young that the system is corrupt.

they're them

Jaime : We don’t get to choose who we love.

But he does make so many other choices.

He CHOOSES to return to Harrenhal for Brienne. He CHOOSES to give her Oathkeeper. He CHOOSES to take Riverrun without bloodshed for her. He CHOOSES to fuck loyalty and fight by her side.

It all boils down to choices in the end because he didn’t have to do any of it.

It all boils down to the fact that Jaime CHOOSES Brienne over Cersei, though he might not have chosen to fall for her.

when people say ‘I ship Brienne with Hyle!!’ I just know they are specifically averse to shipping her with Jaime bc no one outside JB fandom remembers that guy exists half the time let alone ships him with anyone. like they’ll never mention the guy even once but then any time they’re forced to consider brienne’s future w Jaime they’re suddenly a founding member of Team Bryle

Brienne of Tarth

“Brienne,” he said, granting her the courtesy of the name in the hopes that she might listen, “if Lord Bolton holds Harrenhal, both the Trident and the kingsroad are likely watched.”

He thought he saw a touch of uncertainty in her big blue eyes. “You are under my protection. They’d need to kill me.”

They lay with lions - ASOS, Jaime I

It was more a picture than a proper coat of arms, and the sight of it took her back through the long years, to the cool dark of her father’s armory. She remembered how she’d run her fingertips across the cracked and fading paint, over the green leaves of the tree, and along the path of the falling star. - AFFC Brienne II.
