    Summary

    When rich, arrogant Jaime Lannister swans into Brienne's dad's diner and spends the whole time making out with his rude stepsister, Brienne couldn't be more relieved that she'll probably never have to see either one of them again. The only problem is, over the next 15 years, Jaime keeps coming back.

    Or: five letters that Brienne burned, and one she didn't.

    Summary

    She’s heard that right before you die, your life will flash before your eyes. That’s not quite what happens. Instead, everything around her seems to sharpen. The too-close pounding that could be hoofbeats or could be her own heart, she’s not sure. The dust clinging to the back of her throat. The jagged edge of the canyon beneath her blunted fingertips as she scrabbles for purchase that she isn’t finding. The clatter of the broken pieces of the bridge smacking against the rocks. The sight of the brown rushing river below. The sensation of her stomach flipping as she begins her descent down toward certain death.

    The solid grasp of someone’s hand around her wrist.

    Summary

    Jaime knows Brienne is still on Tarth where he left her. He knows because he can't not know. If something had happened to her between their last furious goodbye and the present and he hadn't known—

    It doesn't bear thinking of that world.

    So he makes it his business to know. He listens to rumors in King's Landing and pays a few coins to sailors and servants when he's on the road for what other news they can provide on the Evenstar. Whether she's alive, whether she's well. He never pries into her private life—who she beds these days is no business of his. And while she remains steadfastly unmarried, he doesn’t linger on why that may be. But he needs to know that she's still stomping around, doing good in the world, regardless of the danger or difficulty or the space by her side. A space that is no longer his to claim.

    Summary

    "I didn't know this was allowed to be more than just sex until I'd laughed at him for offering," Brienne told Sansa, self-consciousness slipping into defensiveness in spite of herself. "But I mean—what else was I supposed to think, after that whole 'love is for abject fools' line?"

    Sansa let out a breath, eyebrows raised. "Do you think maybe you guys are doing this whole thing wrong?"

    "Yeah," Brienne sighed. "It's definitely occurred to me."

    (or, the one where brienne and jaime were friends with benefits and she might have become more invested, had he ever given her the chance)

    Summary

    “It’s really just opportunistic sex," Jaime said, waving a hand. "Sometimes we’ll text and one of us comes over then we leave and we go about our day. That’s all.”

    Tyrion snorted. “Wow, you’re just like a knight from the old stories with that one. 'Fair maid, wouldst thou like to be railed any time after 10pm? I’d do earlier, but I have appearances to keep.’”

    Jaime shut the door on cackles of “But, ser, that’s my emotional support booty call!”

    (or, the one where brienne and jaime are friends with benefits and there is no way he gets way too invested)
