chemistry of a car crash by hildegardtheb

(minnie's holy grail: 5/?)

(dust jacket version w the magazine and its regular cover!)

i've been gone w exams for the past 2 weeks, and this fic was my comfort fic during my exams. this fic is one of the best fics i've ever read, and if you are scared by big word counts (195k) like i was, trust me, you will not feel the length.

this fic has everything: angst, hurt/comfort, in depth details on the au itself, people who make fun of the main rs, people who help the main rs get to where they need to go, fluff, pining HFBHBASBGS

and don't you worry, the character development is strong. it is one of the most human fics ive ever read, and you can really feel that forgiveness and growth is a constant choice that you keep making and oh, the lessons you can learn from this fic. my life has changed because of it.

anyway, read it. read it. idc if you have never watched got i dont care if you dont know anything. this fic can be read by anyone ever, its that good. better than half of booktoks most recommended romances. so please read this absolutely lovely delicious and entertaining fic!

This collection by astolat was very enjoyable to read. I admit that I didn’t stray far from Jamie/Brienne, so I didn’t read all of the works in this collection, but who knows, maybe you will enjoy it.

2022 brought me lots of new OTPs and Braime became one of them lol

Of this collection, I read fics 1 through 12 and then read 14. The rest were not of interest to me because of the main pairings, but like I said, maybe you will enjoy them.

Just thinking about how jb subverts the “i can fix him” girl trope, brienne is just her amazing morally strong (not perfect ofc but she’s learning too) self and jaime changes FOR HER. FUCKING-

[yaneznayunichego]

Hi! I need fics recommendation

Maybe you know stories where Cersei throws Brienne in the dungeon to Qyburn for his experiments and Jaime is rescuing her…..

Rating: Explicit

Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Category: F/M

Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms

Relationships: Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth, Jaime Lannister & Brienne of Tarth

Characters: Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Tarth, Tyrion Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Lysa Tully Arryn, Hyle Hunt

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Childhood Friends, Alternate Universe - High School, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, Mild Hurt/Comfort, Angst and Fluff and Smut, Protective Jaime Lannister

Summary: Now she runs back to the same old swing, the place that ties them together. Brienne doesn’t understand what she’s feeling, but she needs to be here–where she can remember all the versions of herself, and their history is as present as a living thing.

She rocks back and forth, clinging to where they started, because she has no clue where they’re going.

This week’s rec is from the wonderful, wild world of Game of Thrones fanfic. God, remember when that show was popular? Time keeps rolling on. But thankfully fanfiction is forever (and usually better than canon!), and so here we are.

I love a good modern AU of a fantasy story, and putting my favorite ASOIAF ship in it? Perfection. The love between Jaime and Brienne is so easily translatable to any time and setting, but something about seeing them in modern times especially warms my heart. Maybe because Brienne being tall and “ugly” (in quotes because looks are always subjective, and even if she was absolutely hideous (she’s not!) her beautiful soul makes it irrelevant) is less remarked upon than in canon? Maybe because Jaime’s genuinely good nature has more of a chance to shine through? I don’t know why, but I love it.

The relationship in this one builds naturally. Gently. We only see a few snapshots of their life together, but you never doubt their feelings or commitment. And the characterization rings true of their canon counterparts too, but with a modern flair that fits them well. Also, the role reversal in the last segment is just *chef’s kiss*. Perfectly emphasizes what birds of a feather they are, while ostensibly being opposites.

A truly lovely piece of writing!

Next Week: Time for another trip to visit our favorite autistic space man and his vulgar, dog shirt wearing sweetheart! And this one has an interesting trope as its main concept - temporary amnesia. But not even losing his memory will stop Nigel from being absolutely smitten with Adam Raki. That man is DOWN BAD.

See you next time, my lovelies!

Jaime was a good dad. Really. Sure, this year had been a little rough but he'd been doing all right. Then he found himself standing in the middle of a Walder's Mart parking lot, looking at his son from the wrong side of a locked car door.

[kythwena]

Ever since, he’d started having a new nightmare, one where it had worked, and he was staring down at Robb lying in a pool of spreading blood, his eyes closing, and Jaime ended up grabbing him in both arms howling no, no, don’t. After waking from it in a shaking cold sweat, Jaime became terrifyingly certain that he’d lost his mind, but he had no idea how to find it again.

does anyone have braime fic recs? preferably book!braime bit ill take anything really

[ilynpilled]

i was just reading a v popular, v long tv-book-blending braime fic that'll remain nameless since i'm about to criticize it. it was fun but super flawed, in large part because it went a step too far in emphasizing jaime's inherent goodness, traumatic past, and lack of agency, esp wrt cersei (who's cast as the totally heartless/coercive abuser who ruined his life). and i say that as someone who was specifically seeking out jaime h/c fic.

anyway, idk if you even read much asoiaf fic but if you have recs i'd love to hear him.

i wish i could help you but i do not read fics really and if i do it is usually just fun au shit. however im sure i have followers that may have some good recs so i encourage them to send you some, even on anon. sorry that i cant help :(( i get the struggle lol

Hello I hope you’re still checking this inbox. I’m scouring your braime rec list and driving myself nuts.I’m looking for a fic I read ages ago. It has braime, I think an evil Daenerys, Cersei’s daughter, post S8 named Rohanne, with a birthmark on her cheek, and Jaime pining for Brienne. At one point, bec she doubts him, he has tyrion make a documented formal proposal to her with his dowry attached. Oh, Jon also features and he rides one of the dragons now renamed Robb, please help?

Jesus I am so sorry I haven’t checked my inbox in months and you’ve probably found this by now but anyway this is 100% You Can’t Save Her by SigilBroken

same anon w the braime fic - IM SO GLAD i also did the classic tv show > ao3 > actual asoiaf source text order of consumption lol i wasn’t sure if you were abstaining from fic till u read the books or smth idk but anyway. if u did a fic rec i would totally eat that up

braime dynamic is so far up my street u are so right about horny subtext + slow reveal emotional vulnerability, plus a side of enemies to lovers or like. prisoner/captor to reluctant allies to lovers. man i haven’t thought about them in so long… are there any other pairings in the show/books that u enjoy?

naaaah fuck that noise, no offense but i needed to be in the right mindset to read multiple thousand plus page books and i like fanfic. sorry. i guess. i’m here now. anyway.

i could talk about them but. god. clenches fist. i’ll go insane. and people will stop listening to my commentary. i think you got it except metatextually they are destiel. like what happened to destiel happened to them. two nickels. absolutely bonkers.

aaaaaand as far as other pairings. hm. i think largely i tend to gravitate towards character’s plotlines rather than ships - i find arya fascinating but not don’t really care all that much about gendarya, although i don’t mind it. - braime being the exception. or if i do find pairings interesting they’re usually more because of platonic reasons more than romantic. if i had to pick. hm. and before i say these we are going to remember this is the problematic ship book and i am not necessarily saying they are morally good just very fun to explore. jokes aside stavos has some hilson energy going on. what do you want from me. i think samgilly is cute (this is helped because sam is one of my faves). is it weird if i say robbjeyne is cute. jaimecersei i actually do enjoy in a these two are toxically codependent in a fun way and i wish people could explore it in a way that’s not incredibly black and white because there’s A Lot there. sansatyrion but i think that one might get me shot (and once she’s older preferably). robbtheon i get the appeal of and makes me insane to think about but i don’t like read fic for them. sansamargaery because sansa deserves nice things and i think they’d be good for each other. my hottest take i think is that jon and sam should explore each other’s bodies and i do feel this wholeheartedly and unironically. that’s all i can think of off the top of my head there’s so many fucking characters in this book. why are most of my ships straight. feels wrong. or maybe that’s just what happens when the female characters are good. idk.

[crowcoven]

Anyone have good book braime/Jaime centric fic recs? I’m starving out here
