28, jaimebrienne. i can't decide who's the forest god but...long haired brienne?? with moss in her hair? jaime could faint i think

28. You are a supernatural being who showed up injured on my door and I have no idea what medical care for a forest god is supposed to be like but please don’t die on me AU

When Jaime hears something hitting his door rather violently, he’s this tempted to not open it.

First of all, because moving in a small cottage at the edge of the damned forest was a choice he made exactly because he wanted to send a message to most of his family that he didn’t want contact with people, least of all them - Tyrion knows where he is, no one else does, he’s fine like this.

Second of all, because there are reasons he doesn’t want contact with anyone - he had enough of it during the war and every time there’s dirt under his nails he feels like it’s blood that he hasn’t managed to wash off his left hand since the fucking Somme - the right, well. The right is the reason he was shipped home after then, and the reason why he doesn’t want to be around his goddamned family right now, not when everyone insisted that he should enlist for their good name and now can’t look at him anymore, and there’s a limit to how many times he can hear that maybe it’d have been better off if he died honorably than coming back a cripple.

So he ignores it for a grand total of five minutes as he sips his bourbon, and then there’s another, fainter knock on the door, and shit, he was assured that kids don’t come this far because everyone in the nearby village thinks the forest is haunted, so it’s probably not children wanting to fuck with him, and what if it’s really someone who needs help?

He shakes his head, takes a deep breath and goes to open the door.

“I don’t have time for jokes, just -” He starts, and then it dies in his throat because there is no kid dumped on the three steps leading up to the door.

It’s a woman, he realizes, and not one he knows or has ever met - she’s tall, and he can see that from how long her legs are since she’s not wearing anything except what looks like leaves circling her back and her chest, with broad shoulders, broader than his, long, pale blonde hair that looks like starlight with the moon shining directly over it and wait, is there moss woven into it -

Heck, there are purple flowers woven into her hair, and then she raises her eyes to his, and -

Oh.

She has a rather plain face, maybe, with a large crooked nose, full dark lips and freckles splattered all over it, but her eyes are gorgeous - a clear, glowing pure sky-blue with long, pretty lashes, and he’d just stare down at them if she wasn’t spitting blood from her mouth.

He’s about to ask her name, but then he hears a feminine voice in his head, saying help me, and he’s not even sure it was spoken in English but he understood it anyway, and -

The way her eyes are glowing, he doesn’t think she’s… a regular person.

Never mind that - she’s spitting blood on his stairs and he’s not that much of an asshole.

“All right,” he says, “all right, uh, fuck, you’re naked - fuck that.” She’s not all right, they can worry about property later.

He helps her stand, then leads her into the cottage, sitting her down on his bed, and then she coughs in between her hands and it’s more blood and she looks terrified as she sees it, and some of the flowers in her hair die at once.

What the -

“Hey,” he says, putting a hand on her arm, tentatively, “I - I don’t know what you are or your name but - I want to help you, just tell me how. If you can talk. Or do that… thing you did before?” Shit, he sounds ridiculous, what the fuck does it even mean -

I belong in the forest, he hears in his head again, and he’s sure she hasn’t spoken out loud but it’s her telling him that, I never left it. But today I drank in the river and this happened.

The river -

Oh, fuck, he realizes, the river that goes into that one forest is running next to a new war munitions factory that was opened in the nearby town maybe a week ago, which means that whatever debris comes out of it ends up in there, and if she drank from it -

More dead flowers fall on his bed as she spits more blood.

Fucking hell, he thinks he has some kind of… of forest nymph on his bed and he has no idea of what he can do to heal her, because if it’s fucking pollution doing this to her then it only makes sense but it’s not as if he knows what he can do about it now, does he -

Wait. Didn’t he hear something about whoever owned that factory having bought part of the area where her forest is because he wants to build more?

He has a feeling she’s in for a very, very rough future, if he figures out how to do anything about… this. Maybe she needs to get the toxins out. Maybe that’s because she’s spitting blood. He shakes his head, goes to grab a bucket, then goes to find some of his water, which is… well. Clean. He doesn’t take that from that river, rather a well nearby that as far as he knows isn’t polluted.

“Uhm,” he says, “just - spit the blood in there. Then try to drink this, maybe it’ll help? I’m sorry, I -”

She nods, spits more blood, then drinks the water, her eyes going a bit wider, and then she throws up even more blood, but then she looks back at him with those blowing eyes and he hears I need more and so he goes to get her more until she’s done throwing up, his bucket is stained in magical goddess blood, probably, and all of the flowers in her hair are wilting and the leaves making a poor job of covering her also wilt.

But she’s breathing and she doesn’t seem like she’ll die anymore.

“Uh,” he asks, finding a blanket to put on her shoulders - doing it one-handed is a problem, but he manages -, “did - did it work?”

Yes, he hears again as she looks at him gratefully, but I’m weak. Thank you for helping me, she says, sounding like she means it, and suddenly he feels tired as he drops sitting down next to her on the bed while she holds the blanket around her shoulders - good, because the sight of her small, naked breasts was starting to become distracting.

“You’re welcome,” he whispers, “first good thing I’ve done since the war.”

Her eyes fall to the ruined stump of his left hand, the one that still hurts regardless of how many oils and ointments he tries to put on it as balm, without much success.

Oh, she whispers, still in his damned head and without opening her mouth, could you use help with that?

He shrugs, figuring that it’s obvious. “Well, yeah,” he says, “but - you don’t look too well. Focus on yourself first. Really. It’s been a year, I can cope. Uh, and how do I call you?”

He supposes he’ll need a name if she’s going to stay a while… which seems likely, at this point.

It’s… I need to think about it for a moment. About how it could sound in your tongue, she says, and he nods. What’s yours?

“Jaime,” he says, his voice dropping. “My - my name is Jaime. I can wait for yours.”

Jaime, she whispers, gently, as if she’s trying to say it, and even if she’s not speaking he likes how she says it, and then she stands and goes to get some more water. He doesn’t stop her. She drinks a glass, then another, then another, and then she’s drank his entire reserve, but it’s fine, the well is nearby. The more she does, the more those violet flowers blossom in her hair, and fuck he can’t take his eyes off that, and then she stands back up and when she looks at him again her skin is almost glowing as much as her eyes and there’s almost a crown of flowers on the back of her head, and fuck but she’s magnificent, not just in the pale moonlight crawling from the window.

She doesn’t drop the blanket when she moves back to the bed, but rather than sitting next to him she takes his right wrist in her hands - shit, no one else that wasn’t his latest doctor has touched it in months and usually he flinches at the idea, but her hands are warm and light even if she has long, slightly rough fingers, and he doesn’t mind it.

She glances down at the reddened skin - it healed badly, he knows it did, but wearing that fake golden prosthesis his father forced on him back home didn’t help - and then she wraps his wrist into both her palms and he feels warm, so very warm, but not in an uncomfortable way, and then it’s gone as soon as it arrived and she’s moving her hands away -

And not only he realizes that it doesn’t hurt anymore, but when he looks down at it, his skin has… scarred properly. It’s not red anymore, rather white or pale pink, and it feels like it happened twenty years ago, not one.

“Oh,” he says, turning his wrist over, realizing it really doesn’t hurt anymore, “thank you.” He knows it’s barely audible, but then her hand touches his face and he’s looking into her glowing blue eyes again.

It was only fair, she says.

And then -

My name is Brienne, she says. Or it is… for you, I suppose.

Brienne.

It’s a nice name, he thinks.

He likes it.

“You know,” he says, his voice maybe a bit shaky, “that river - the waters will keep on hurting you. And - they want to tear down part of the forest. Not on this side, though. If you want to drink from the well… you’re welcome to.”

She considers it, then nods once, slowly, and looks out of the window.

“Do you have to go?” He asks, haring how pathetic it sounded, because now that she’s here he wishes she’d stay -

For now, she says, I - I need to warn the others so they won’t do the same. But I think I will accept your offer, she says, and then a large hand is on his face and her lips have pressed against his, softly but surely, and he shudders when he parts his own and realizes that she doesn’t - she doesn’t tastes like anything he knows, but when she moves back he feels like he has just breathed the purest, cleanest air of his life.

Then she reaches up, tugs a few purple blooms from her hair and presses them into his left hand.

I will be back, she says, and then she’s standing and she’s out of his door and disappeared into the forest.

If it wasn’t for the flowers in his hand, he’d think he made her up.

But -

They’re there, in full bloom, and he can feel his lips turning upwards as he thinks, I hope she comes back soon.

“And how are you feeling right now?”

“… Not disappointed, I guess,” she says. “What the hell did I expect. I’m disappointed in myself because I actually went. And — no, I just — I feel like shit because I hate that I don’t dress like I want or do what I want because of people like them, I hate that I can’t look at myself without hating what I see when I never cared until other people pointed it out, I hate that my father has to look at me and be sad when he has just me and I never want to give him reasons to be sad because of me, I hate that I know there are a few things I’m good at and I have to hear people laughing at me for wanting to pursue them even if I’ll do that anyway and — I feel like throwing up.”

“Do you have to?”

“No, I think,” she says, helping herself to some more water, and she’s horrified to realize that she actually started crying, and she nods thankfully when Stannis hands her a packet of paper tissues.

She blows her nose, shaking her head. “There’s nothing healthy about that, is it.”

Or: in which Brienne's looks-related issues don't pay her any favors and she does something about it.

Love your answer for the Jaime and Brienne book ending ask. You mentioned Nik asking D&D to do Jaime's book story line. Do you by any chance have a link to an interview or whatever your source is for that. I would love to read it. I hope you have a great day :)

I mean, I don’t know that Nikolaj has ever verbatim said he wanted D&D to “do Jaime’s book story,” but I do know we’ve had several interviews where he has talked about clashing with the writers over Jaime’s arc since at least Season 4. He always backs off and acts like he thinks they were right, and says they’re geniuses, but it’s obvious he wouldn’t bring it up if he didn’t want us all to know he disagreed. Kind of like how he brings up Cogman draining the sexual attraction element from the bath scene in the commentary–he’s been calling the writers out on changes from the books since whenever.

Anyway, Nik has said that he’s advocated for Jaime to stand up to, and/or leave, Cersei–which is Jaime’s book story. And we know he’s flat out said he wanted Jaime with Brienne, which is also book story, since they’re together right now in the books.

Here’s a clip from an interview someone tweeted yesterday. Several others them have been floating around fandom the past couple weeks as well, if you look around. Or you could ask on r/jaimebrienne, someone might have links handy.

“Do you have to?”

She blows her nose, shaking her head. “There’s nothing healthy about that, is it.”

Or: in which Brienne's looks-related issues don't pay her any favors and she does something about it.
