WIP Wishlist End of Year 2022 Updates

WIP Wishlist

I love doing the WIP Wishlists. Cheers for the first full year! Your comments and tags are brilliant and make me happy every time.

WIPs that have been updated since I did the mid-year update in July.

The Blue Knight vs. The Kingslayer by SeeThemFlying @seethemflying From round eight, last updated 20 Sep 2022

Things I love: Brienne and Pod’s friendship and teamwork, the sheer silliness and threat of the Kingslayer, Imp, and Evil Queen, the Honor League, the sweetness and softness between Brienne and Jaime while their alteregos wage war on each other, how over-the-top and joyful and perfect this is as a comic book story.

Break the Shape We Take by ClasseySpanks From round eight, last updated 19 Oct 2022

Things I love: Intriguing worldbuilding, particularly around the Evenstar prophecy, Jaime needling at Brienne because he loves to see her eyes and her blush and to argue with her, something dangerous lurking in the trees and impaling deer on branches, Brienne brave and fearless when she’s doing what she’s been born to do and awkward and withdrawn otherwise, Jaime and Brienne teaming up.

The Crossover by LadyRhiyana From round sixteen, last updated 29 Sep 2022

Things I Love: The humour, the comic book characters and their stories, Jaime and Brienne clashing and brilliant together, Tyrion and his Halfman Comics team, the descriptions of the creative process, everyone’s characterisations.

Golden Lion by chrkrose Mentioned in round fourteen, last updated 28 July 2022

Things I Love: The entire premise, the failed conquest of the seven separate kingdoms of Westeros, Queen Joanna fiercely leading her family, the dragons of Tarth, a woman as Evenstar, sweet, honourable young Brienne, Queen Joanna and the Evenstar helping each other.

The Keeper by PalyGirl From round two, last updated, 14 Aug 2022

Things I love: Intriguing plot and world building, Brienne with friends and dragons, Young Griff is sometimes fantastic, friendships.

The Kingsguard by LadyRhiyana From round nine, now complete

Things I love: Modern AUs with Brienne as a princess, why Selwyn joins the rebels, Jaime the undercover Kingsguard, the way they annoy each other to no end, Brienne’s friendships, the way they protect each other, the history of Evenfall Hall, Lannister sibling dynamics, and spring break shenanigans.

Oh Lazarus, Were You So Afraid? by enemiesloversparadise From round fifteen, last updated 3 Dec 2022

Things I Love: Jaime actually dealing with the sept explosion, Tommen, queer Westeros, how Brienne and Pod relate to each other, Jon Snow and his politics, Sansa and Brienne’s friendship, the secondary pairings, the adventure of the story so far and potential to come.

An Old Lion Amongst Young Wolves by Angelic_Temptress From round three, last updated 02 Nov 2022

Things I love: Arya and Sansa friendship; Sansa’s clever playing of the game; complicated, difficult incursions of the dead more than just one hard-to-see long night; dialogue that is smart, and witty, and sarcastic; more practical ways to go to war.

Play On by motorbike_on_the_avenue From round fifteen, last updated 16 Nov 2022

Things I Love: The humour, Jaime and Brienne’s bickering, Brienne’s friendship with Margaery, the slow reveal of Brienne’s history, Brienne’s relationship with Cersei, the job choices for secondary characters, and the sheer entertainment of the setup.

she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree by aeemmmoor @kishibashiinghiing From round eighteen, last updated 26 Nov 2022

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.

Silk and Steel by LadyRhiyana From round ten, now complete

Things I Love: Brienne the Targaryen with a dragon and an army of Stark, Baratheon, and Arryn fighters, Brienne’s advisors warning her away from her beautiful, golden spoils of war, Brienne growing up beloved and respected as a strong, fierce, determined alpha who rose against her mad uncle Aerys.

the top of my to-do list by Valmalpal From round seventeen, now complete

Things I Love: Jaime’s obsession with Brienne, how hot they are together slowly moving closer to sex, Brienne’s mix of stubborn and shy, how they care for each other, the way the tension builds.

unfiltered. by SeeThemFlying @seethemflying From round fifteen, last updated 23 Nov 2022

Things I Love: Brienne’s characterisation, Olenna Tyrell in all her glorious sharpness, Jaime’s inexplicable – to him – reactions to Brienne and to other people appreciating her, the punch of sexual tension, Jaime’s emotional softness set against his sharp words when he feels attacked, and the pining, conscious and unconscious.

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.
