witness to the arc towards the sun by jellyb34n (M, 11k, 6/6)
That was behind them. Here, there was only Brienne at his side and the wide open night sky.
They were high enough that though the Eyrie shot up, looming behind them, still there were clouds below. They spread in rolling hills to vanish into the distant dark, moonlight highlighting mounds, casting perfect shadows, making each puff appear lush and enticing. Solid enough to carry weight; soft enough to cradle.
âHow many children try to step onto the cloud, do you think?â Jaime glanced at Brienne and had to laugh at the alarm on her face. âDonât worry. Iâm sure only a handful actually go over the edge.â
âJaime,â she groaned, aggrieved.

Writer's Month 2019 Prompt: Day Six - Kids
Let tonight pass by ChocoNut (E, 2.8k, 1/1)
âFather wants me to put a child in you,â Jaime replies. The thought of it must be painful for him. After three children with the woman he loves, this is far from the life he must have been looking forward to. âIf not tonight, tomorrow night.â
âLet tonight pass.â These are just three words. Simple. But they demand a great effort from her. They insist she suppress her feelings. They warn her that he must never know. âTomorrow is another day.â
OR: Five times Jaime and Brienne don't fuck and the one time they do.

Monsters Maidens and Creatures In Between Collection maintained by H3L (11 works).
The fairy tale is an intrinsic part of literature for as long as man kind had command of words and language. Happily, George R.R. Martin has gifted the masses with a written fairy tale full of darkness, horrors beyond count, of true love and despair and pain and death and joy, A Song of Ice and Fire. And from that sweeping, epic tale, many people have taken many different things. It has bred warriors and maidens countless, shippers and loyalists abound, starting wars and bringing people together at cons and on the vast wastes of the internet. Among these factions a community was born, one that focused on love and honor and the difficult choices that make us human. This happy corner of fandom was born around the love and affection of Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth.
In thanks to this community, a group of writers have written a set of stories, some of which were illustrated by a couple of the fandom's most talented artists, and in the spirit of Halloween we have dressed our erstwhile heroes in the garb of fairy stories. Please enjoy them.
-> this includes ASOIAF & Game of Thrones works!
ASOIAF
At the Water's Edge by winterkill (M, 43k, 18/18)
"When Brienne sleeps with the book of folktales under her pillow, she dreams of swimming in the loch. The kelpie is there--golden mane glinting in the shafts of sunlight filtering through the water. It swims towards her as though bounding across a field, ethereal and otherworldly. I should be dead, her dream-self wants to say, only of course she canât speak underwater. Itâs incorrect enough that she can breath.Â
 Galladon died, and I lived. But why?"

Half-Life by dreadwulf (M, 19k, 4/4)
The villagers were full of gossip on the subject of Casterly Manor. They said the Lannister son had gone mad, and murdered his father Tywin and his sister Cersei, and has since lived alone in the manor with a dwindling company of servants, the former glory of the Lannisters slowly decaying all around him. Brienne heard all these rumors and more. It did not prevent her from taking the job.

Lilies Grow on the Bottom of the Sea by Miss_M (T, 5.6k, 9/9)

She wanted to tell Princess Cersei that sheâd already done one impossible task â sheâd won her first melee, which included the best knights in the realm, and surely she was the first woman to win a tournament â so couldnât she just be a knight now?

There is something ancient in the mountains of Tarth. A dragon, the smallfolk whisper, Like the one Galladon himself fought. It is, and it isnât. It takes the form of a dragon, of lost loved ones, of the lingering doubts that haunt the dark recesses of the mind, calling, hungry. Always hungry.
And now it is awake.

Certain as the sun by sdwolfpup (M, 4.9k, 1/1)
When he'd been old enough, when his father had deemed him ready, Jaime had traveled to Evenfall Hall to enact his father's revenge. He'd expected to find a slavering monster, huge and horrible, with bloody fangs and surrounded by the bones of the children it had eaten. What he'd found was Brienne.
Game of Thrones
for beauty is found within by angel_deux (T, 29k, 6/6)
Tales of the Beast have existed longer than Jaime has been alive. He's a good fighter, and he longs for adventure, but he isn't the one who goes in search of it.
No, that's his twin. And when Cersei is captured, Jaime feels compelled to take her place in the creature's cell.
Beauty and the Beast AU.
beast by robotsdance (T, 23k, 1/1)
Jaime is a person.

But it doesnât matter.
Because she is a beast.
Beauty and the (Sea) Beast by The_Midget (G, 12k, 1/1)
âOnly you can return yourself to your human form,â the crone said, wagging a crooked finger as if to scold him. âWhen you find someone who truly loves you for who you are.

The Lady Knight and a Curse so Lonely by asronan (M, 10k, 1/1)
âOf curse of old,
A boy will embrace the gray,
Long he will be gone
Until steel meeting scales
When the creature falls
A prince shall rise
By the bluest sea
And claim his rights.
To whom slew the creature
The curse will be destroyed
The soul would bound to the prince
And the landâs gracefulness will be restored.â
Once upon a time, a family called the Lannister was cursed. Prince Jaime was the victim of his fatherâs promise for a prosperous country. He vanished as he turned sixteen. And only a knight with a pure soul could save him.
by fang and claw by tarthiana (E, 2k, 1/1)
Brienne was a fool; she should have listened to her father, to Renly. They both warned of the vicious beast of Harrenhalâhow inhuman the creature was, how unkind and bloodthirsty. They had both faced the beast and barely made it back to the Stormlands to tell the tale. Yet, Brienne had thought to reason with the beast. She had not believed in magic or curses, thinking every description was exaggeration.
She was wrong.

After living through the Long Night and battle for the iron throne in 305ac, Bran changed events in 247ac to guide the living down a different path.

For generations the crown kept secrets to protect their own, but now those secrets must protect the realm.
Brienne, Plain and Tall by greenmtwoman (M, 69k, 13/13)

Did this Mr. Lannister want a wife or a hired hand? But in either case what did she have to lose?
A Way with Words by winterkill (M, 48k, 17/17)

Runaways by greenmtwoman (T, 42k, 12/12)
âWhere to now, my lady?â asked Jaime. âYou are a lady, are you not? By your speech?â Her jerkin was ripped at one shoulder, but he could see that it had been fine wool.
She shook her head. âIâve already said too much,â she muttered, staring determinedly at the dirty cobbles.
âWhere are you going?â
âAway from here.â
âExcellent! Away is my destination, too.â
âWhy are you following me?â
âBecause you donât want me to.â Jaime grinned. âI like a challenge.â
She's not a diamond by Musing_and_Music (T, 28k, 25/25)

Protector of the Realm by greenmtwoman (M, 22k, 4/4)
"Your brother is free to remain at Casterly Rock, and to eat his gold. We will allow him no other use for it.â
âUnless?â He regarded her with a kind of wonder. She was shrewder and more implacable than he had expected.
âUnless you and I are wed.â
He laughed, though her face was entirely serious. âWas this Tyrionâs idea or yours?â It was a preposterous idea, and it made a preposterous kind of sense.
âCall it a mutual realization of need. I need to marry for the stability of the crown. There are few candidates left. I require a consort with wealth, and Iâd prefer not to wed a fool or a weakling.â
âLucky for you that Iâm neither. Iâm merely a monster, which is much more agreeable.â

She Makes The Sound The Sea Makes To Calm Me Down by AlicienneOfTarth (E, 19k, 6/6)
"His sister used to tell him that he was born gripping her foot. That tale had never been a tender one for him, despite how many times Cersei liked to tell it.
It always left a strange taste in his mouth, made him feel helpless in his need, already longing for something he couldnât have.
When Brienne, just born, had gripped his finger though, he had felt needed for the first time in his life.
Only now, after years, he seems able to give a name to that sentiment."

After hearing worrying rumours about his daughter, Lord Selwyn Tarth wants Brienne home and married. He does not expect her to arrive with the Kingslayer.
Her name is pronounced Victory by dwellingondreams (M, 14k, 2/2)
"The question is, are you but some opportunist, a wolf caught befriending the sheep? And I answer that I am confused and aloof, and yet arrogant for victory." - The Silent Comedy, 'Victory'.
In truth, it would be almost funny, if he were not so numb. He saves a city, kills a madman who happens to be his king, and gets caught fucking his sister, all in very short order. The noble hero is then forced to marry a cow of a girl as punishment for his crimes. Itâs the sort of humorous tale mummers might sing about, or act out in a play to the roaring approval of the audience. Jaime would laugh, were he not the center of it.
Found Wanting by dreadwulf (E, 14k, 3/3)
Brienne is still convinced that the entire affair is a joke on her. Surely there is a real bride somewhere in the castle, who will be brought out once the crowd has had a good laugh at the cow in a satin gown. When she said as much to her intended, he said it was surely a joke on them both. Let them laugh, he said. Whatâs funnier is that Queen Daenerys made the match in the first place â she must have thought them intolerable to one another. The Beauty and the Kingslayer. Surely Brienne could see the humor in it?
No one said this would ever be easy, my love by CatelynTsukino (T, 14k, 1/1)
"You think we don't know Tarth, Kinsglayer? It ain't have no sapphires."
Jaime's lie doesn't work. All that is left to do is to help Brienne overcome her trauma and the complications that arise from it.
The quiet wife by luluishere (M, 10k, 6/6)
Game of Thrones:
A Twist of Fate by ChocoNut (E, 182k, 29/29)

Married by the Seven by everydayescapeartist (E, 141k, 20/20)

From betrothal to marriage by ChocoNut (E, 32k, 9/9)
When he comes to know about Jaime and Cersei, Tywin Lannister wants to do everything he can to keep brother and sister away from each other. The best solution, of course, would be to get Jaime married and off to Casterly Rock. Meanwhile, Lord Selwyn Tarth summons his daughter from the Stormlands to give her some news. He has a proposal for her that he cannot say no to.
This Yearâs Love, It Better Last by TheAddict4Dramatics (M, 27k, 10/10)
The marriage was a punishment and not Brienneâs. She was to marry the Kingslayer as penance for his heinous crime. Nobody had said thus in so many words but it was clear to all. The betrothal had been a royal command from the King himself and one he apparently took great joy in decreeing.
Whatâs one more arranged marriage au?
I'm Betting Everything I've Got On You by ilikeblue (E, 24k, 5/5)
The silence after was thick with tension. It was Brienne who finally huffed and walked to the sideboard, filling a tumbler with ice and whiskey.
After a large sip, she sighed. âI believe we have additional matters of breeding to discuss, gentlemen. Best get on with it.â
Jaime was halfway through his own swallow; he choked until it burned.
âBrienne!â Selwyn was red-faced. âThatâs no way to startââ
âCome on, Father. Weâre all adults here.â She turned to Jaime, and for the first time he noticed her eyes. They were endless blue, the color of sunny, summer skies. He was held in their still certainty. âMr. Jaime Lannister was caught by the housekeeper in bed with his married cousin, so his reputation is in shambles.â She had the gall to follow that statement with a gentle smile. âAnd while I might be the least coveted filly in this trade, I can offer him an out.â

âJaime is bad enough when heâs well. You want me to go and take care of him when heâs sick?â Brienne questioned. Tyrion looked at Brienne imploringly.
âI would ask Cersei, but they donât get on and Jaime really doesnât need her being a poisonous bitch to him when heâs basically delirious.â Tyrion said.
âAnd what about your father?â Brienne asked, trying not to allow herself to feel any empathy.
âYou want me to ask the devil to take care of my brother?â Tyrion shot back.
Where Jaime catches Brienne's flu, and Tyrion begs Brienne to look after him, whilst he's away. Brienne just can't say no.
Secretaries don't get sick by soulofaminaanima (G, 3.5k, 1/1)
Jaime is bored out of his mind, since there is nothing to do at the office and his secretary called in sick this morning. It's the first day since his brother hired Miss Tarth that she cannot come to work, so Jaime should just let it go.
Jaime does not let it go.
He decides to pay a visit to his sick secretary, just to annoy her. His day turns out far more interesting as he meets five kids who claim to be Miss Tarth's children.
Late Night Talk by joyourjoy (chenissaura) (G, 1.4k, 1/1)
"Jaime," her voice sounded hoarse, "I think I'm sick."
Chicken Soup for The Stupid by Lady_Blade_WarAngel (T, 1.3k, 1/1)
âBut Jaime, arenât you always saying Iâd âlove to know what it feels like to be a womanâ and how youâre âstrong enoughâ to show me? Well show me then. Iâm making a genuine offer. Or are you all talk and no action Lannister?â
Where Brienne is sick, and Jaime is annoying, and Brienne just wants to shut him up. (slightly crack)
The Classic Triad by katajainen (G, 437, 1/1)
There's nothing like staying in bed with a head cold to bring out surprising skills in your partner.

Or Are You Just Pleased To See Me? by GilShalos1 (T, 3.6k, 1/1)

Game of Thrones
Love Never Dies by CatelynTsukino (G, 7.7k, 1/1)
Jaime survives the fall of the Red Keep, but not unscathed. Brienne helps him recover and tries to provide a better life for the man she loves, even if it's not with her.
I'm not them by ChocoNut (T, 2.4k, 1/1)
âStay with me, Brienne,â he implores, with a look that threatens to melt her down, with a softness uncharacteristic of him that leaves her in a fix.
Or: The one where Brienne takes care of a sick and delirious Jaime after his maiming and they share a moment.
burning up like a fever by ofhobbitsandwomen (litvirg) (G, 1.4k, 1/1)
âSo you are alive,â Jaime said as she pulled the door open. Brienne watched as his eyes raked up from her bare feet, to her bicycle shorts-clad legs, resting with a brief smile on his Bloody Gate band tee stretched across her shoulders. âI was beginning to doubt.â
Brienne just rolled her eyes. âSorry I havenât been around to entertain you today.â
Painful by Janocado (G, 1.2k, 1/1)
Brienne is on her period and Jaime takes care of her.
Candlelight by tarthiana (T, 1.1k, 1/1)
The holiday season at Baratheon Crafting Supplies is Brienne's retail nightmare, and on top of that she's sickâbut her roommate Jaime will make the first night of Hanukkah one to remember.
Get Well Soon by JustAGirl24 (G, 562, 1/1)
Brienne is sick. Jaime takes care of her.
-> this next one is sort of? a sick fic? as in brienne is pregnant (and giving birth and all of the complications that come with it). it's a good one so why not add it :)
what strange lullaby is this (that sings from its wound) by Roccolinde (M, 16k, 3/3)
Six moons after the North is granted its independence, its Queen marries a young man from a House of no real repute. But he is young and his family loyal, and on the night of their wedding feast he does not object to the Queenâs silent shadow cloaked in blue armour.

Any good hurt/comfort of Jaime comforting Brienne through an illness/injury?
Jaime taking care of Brienne
(Hurt/Comfort / Sickfic / Wound Tending)
hii! what a good trope! i've got a few (& so so so sorry for the late response). this is a mix of asoiaf & got.
ASOIAF
Before Your Judgement by lionoftarth (M, 77k, 24/24)
Directly after ADWD. Mostly j/b and canon compliant. Brienne and Jaime point of view.
Try a Little Tenderness by dreadwulf (M, 17k, 4/4)
After The Kingslayer collapses in the baths at Harrenhal, Brienne has to wash and dress him for dinner with Lord Bolton. She is in no way suited to this task, but she does her best to care for him until heâs back on his feet. Perhaps one day he can return the favor.
The Things We Do For Love by BananaChef (E, 7k, 1/1)
She had not allowed herself to look at him all that much when they first reunited; she felt terrible for lying and he had looked so...happy to see her again. It would have hurt too much. But now she let herself look: she took in his well-kempt beard, streaked with silver; his golden mane of hair, which was beginning to become more silver than gold at the roots, though few reached past that; his perfect eyebrows which were so often arched in sarcasm or furrowed in anger, but were gentler before he woke; his skin, which was healthier than last she saw him, but now had new wrinkles around his eyes; and his lips, no longer starved for proper hydration, but healthy and slightly open.
This One Kindness by CatelynTsukino (T, 6.1k, 1/1)
A Braime-centric take on what happens post 'A Dance with Dragons':
Jaime and Brienne face Lady Stoneheart and deal with the aftermath, as well as their feelings for each other.
(Features background plot.)
Show Me The Places Where The Others Gave You Scars by AlicienneOfTarth (E, 5.2k, 1/1)
She calms down, one of her hands tentatively rests on his chest. They stay in silence for some seconds as he accommodates her body in his arms, treasuring the way her fingers sneak up when she doesnât pay them attention, accidentally brushing the tips of his hair.
âShow me,â he eventually whispers against her temple, as his hand slides along the middle of her back.
âShow you what?â
He chuckles, inhaling her suspicion and the sweet lemon in her hair. âShow me where youâre hurt.â
The promise of a day by sdwolfpup (T, 2.9k, 1/1)
The knock on the door is unexpected; finding Brienne on the other side, less so. But the cuts and bruises, the blood dripping from a wound he can't yet seeâthose Jaime is entirely unsurprised by.
Distraught, yes, but there's no shock that Brienne has come back to him wounded.
let me read you a story, let me read you a romance by potato_writes (G, 2.1k, 1/1)
In the midst of a kingdom torn apart by war, there is a haven.
In which Jaime watches over Brienne while she recovers on the Quiet Isle.
-> these next two don't have brienne struggling with an illness/injury per se, but still are about jaime taking care of brienne, so i thought i'd add 'em in anyway in case it suits anyone's fancy.
lavender by ssstrychnine (T, 2.5k, 1/1)
jaime helps brienne with her armour. brienne takes a bath. they share a bed.
A Song of Thunder and Comfort by Miss_M (T, 901, 1/1)
In which Jaime discovers Brienne is afraid of thunder and reacts accordingly.
Game of Thrones
not if it's you by rulebreakingmoth (M, 14k, 1/1)
âIâd like to help you pay for it.â
âThatâs what you got out of that? Jaime, Iâm not actually bereft, you know.â
âYou deserve to have a partner in this! Someone who doesnât completely ignore your calls like a coward.â She hasnât actually spoken to Hyle since that first conversation where he made it very clear that he was not interested, emotionally or financially, in whatever she chose to do about the pregnancy. She had considered it a blessing that he was leaving it up to her choice. She wonders if itâs a sign that sheâs not even really sad that Hyleâs gone, but speaking it out loud would fill Jaime with such annoying satisfaction that she bites her tongue.
âIf you so much as look at your credit card when weâre there, Iâll make sure Iâm not the only one bleeding from between my legs.â
(or, Brienne has an abortion and can't figure out why Jaime is so invested in taking care of her)
stupid wench. by SeeThemFlying (M, 1.9k, 1/1)
I thought her so true and her eyes filled with such innocence, but she lied to me to bring me to my death. There was no feeling there, nothing honest. Just lies.
Only ever lies.
Heart Sick by EryiScrye (SomberSecrets) (T, 1.4k, 1/1)
They knew each other too well. That was the only explanation for how she had managed to convince him to leave her, as broken and bandaged and ill as she looked.
The Lion and his Maiden Fair by ddagent (T, 1.2k, 1/1)
Jaime and Brienne leave Harrenhal and head south. Set directly after 3.07.
oh how he soothes by CorinaLannister (T, 876, 1/1)
Jaime takes care of Brienne when she's feeling under the weather.
Set in a modern au where they're both at University.
I commissioned @/sunstar.writing over on Instagram to write me a short letter written by Jaime for Brienne (I didn't give sunny any concrete directions so its technically a surprise letter in a way), enjoy! :3 I really enjoyed it and it's giving drunk Jaime pouring his guts out, until he realizes how "cringe" it sounds and deletes it from existence
âhe wrote in an awkward hand that might have done credit to a six-year-old being taught his first letters by a maesterâ Jaime IX
Here's the letter (for those who struggle to read the handwriting)
A tall man emerged and stretched out on the other side of her bonfire, graceful as a cat. It was dark, but sheâd recognize that profile anywhere, no matter how long it had been. Jaime Lannister.
My gift to @firesign23 in the Jaime x Brienne 2025 summer exchange. Prompts: campfires, exes, second chances, and her wonderful JB playlist.

ASOIAF
Merry & Bright by winterkill (T, 5k, 1/1)
Brienne wasnât present for the conversation between her father and Galladon, but sheâs pretty sure she can imagine it. Galladon probably said something like, âDonât get too excited, Dad, but Brienne mentioned bringing a friend for Sevenmas.â
Galladon has never been one for details, and her father absolutely hears whatever he likes best.
The horror of Brienneâs mistake dawns on her the moment her father greets Jaime and her at the front door. He looks so, so pleased when he says, âI got your room all ready for both of you!â
Christmas Wrapping by cardinalgirl75 (T, 13k, 5/5)
After a busy year, all Brienne wants is to spend Christmas Day by herself with her favorite cookies, hot chocolate, her favorite holiday movies...
...and her memories of the guy she's been chasing all year.
What happiness befalls me by sdwolfpup (T, 13k, 1/1)
In search of a tree three weeks before Christmas, Jaime ends up at Tarth Trees. It won't be weird if he keeps coming back to see the tall, blond, muscular woman who helps him, right?
have I been good enough to ask for your love? by theworldunseen (T, 5k, 1/1)
Brienne needs to get out of her apartment. She tries a brand new coffee shop.
Game of Thrones
Take Me Home For Christmas by sdwolfpup (T, 40k, 5/5)
Brienne Tarth is in love with her best friend and roommate, Jaime Lannister. Not that she's ever going to tell him that, because she doesn't want to ruin a good thing. But when she takes him home to Tarth with her for Christmas, her father's relentless cheer, some unexpected visitors, and a little Christmas magic might change her mind--if she doesn't mess everything up between them first.
Since We've No Place To Go by virginfiber (T, 37k, 13/13)
After Brienne Tarth drunkenly hooked up with one of her detestable coworkers, she didnât think things could get any more awkward.
That is, until they got snowed in together.
Last Christmas (i gave you my heart) by SeeThemFlying (E, 21k, 1/1)
Last Christmas, Jaime and Brienne had sex.
This Christmas, they are still working out what to do about it.
Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, and Kind by EllisJay (T, 11k, 1/1)
Jaime is in love with his best friend, Brienne, and has plans to tell herâŠ.one day. Eventually. Definitely in the next year for sure. He's nearly 100% sure of that, or maybe 80% sure. A spur-of-the-moment Christmas gift bumps up his timeline considerably.
Merry Christmas, I'm Yours by theworldunseen
Single dad Jaime Lannister loves three things the most: his daughter Myrcella, coffee, and his best friend Brienne Tarth. Also Pop Tarts. So, four things. Now that curmudgeonly diner owner Brienne is single, will he make a move this Christmas season?
A gender-flipped Gilmore Girls AU with little plot, lots of fluff, and bonus smut at the end!
Shopgirl by CaptainTarthister (E, 74k, 19/19)
Finding herself often tired and cranky from working multiple jobs to put herself through school, the last thing Brienne needs is repeated encounters with the very annoying, very entitled, and unbelievably handsome half a god, half a dick Jaime Lannister during the last two weeks of her least favorite season: Christmas.
i would be happy just to hold the hands i love on this winter night with you by theworldunseen (T, 7.8k, 1/1)
Since Jaime took over his grandfather's restaurant â and hired Brienne Tarth â things have been good. Chaotic, sure, but good. But this holiday season, everything might change.
Brienne and the Christmas Calendar by angel_deux (T, 11k, 1/1)
Brienne writes scripts for a television network that exclusively produces shitty romance movies. That's not the ONLY reason she hates the Christmas season, but it's a pretty big part of it. Her roommate and best friend Jaime, on the other hand, is filled to the brim with holiday cheer.
Or: Jaime does the whole Christmas Advent Calendar thing, and Brienne is oblivious.
A Christmas Competition by sdwolfpup (T, 10k, 1/1)
Jaime Lannister could win the decorating contest for all she cared. She was just trying to spread good cheer.
And if it made people consider her in the competition, well. There was no harm in that, was there?
With a Star in My Hand by catherineflowers (E, 5.9k, 1/1)
It's Christmas Eve in London and Jaime and Brienne have a lovely family Christmas planned with Tommen.
Pre-Christmas by WackyGoofball (T, 29k, 1/1)
Jaime is out with Bronn and Tyrion to celebrate the annual pre-Christmas, though he is anything but in a festive mood.
Ever since a certain incident at his favorite gym's Christmas party involving a poorly chosen gift, Jaime is at odds with his best friend Brienne.
Though he may have to come up with a solution fast when an angelic entourage enters the bar.
The Ghosts of Christmas Eve by WackyGoofball (T, 59k, 7/7)
Tyrion Lannister wants nothing more but his older brother back. Inviting him over for Christmas dinner is his one hope to help his brother break out of his shell into which he withdrew after the horrible accident at Jaime's factory some years ago.
Brienne of Tarth wants to come to terms with the aftermath of the accident, while also trying to mend the damage between her and her employer Jaime. She is driven by her wish to get to the bottom of the accident that cost them both so much.
Jaime Lannister is trying to keep himself together, but thereby just keeps pushing those away who care about him most. Driven by guilt, regret, and an ongoing anger over how his life always seems to take a turn for bad, Jaime has long since given up on the happiness others associate with Christmas season, wanting to be by himself, if only to keep his loved one's out of harm's, or rather his, way.
Alone at home, Jaime is visited by ghosts from past, present, and future, teaching him some many lessons, some of which prove to be rather painful, but Jaime has to realize rather sooner or later that much more is at stake than Christmas itself.
In fact, he may, yet again, come just too late...
Where sunrise finds us by sdwolfpup (T, 8.8k, 1/1)
Jaime is trying to make it to Casterly Rock for Sevenmas when a storm shuts down every flight out. He's got one night to drive there, and there's only one car left in the rental lot - which a grad student from years past, Brienne Tarth, has already reserved. Eighteen hours together in a car with their history and his feelings, it's sure to be a chill and uneventful trip.
While Renly was sleeping by mawryth (M, 47k, 13/13)
It's Christmas in London and Brienne is facing another festive season alone. However, things take a turn to the unexpected when Brienne saves her dream man's life when he gets pushed onto the tube tracks. The man survives, but he's fallen into a coma, and there's another problem - his family think she's his fiancee...
How will Brienne get out of this mess, and what will she do when Renly's brother-in-law Jaime starts to ask some awkward questions?
This is a fanfic based heavily on the film 'While you were sleeping' starring Sandra Bullock. I started writing this at Christmas (obvs), but life and work became frantic so it has taken me all this while to put it together. I've written the whole thing and I'm halfway through editing it, so expect regular updates. I hope you enjoy my second foray into fanfic writing - it's been a lot of fun!
As always, I own none of the characters or material within this story and will not profit in any way.
I Light A Candle To Our Love by theworldunseen (M, 7.4k, 1/1)
Jaime is in love with his best friend Brienne, and he thinks she might feel the same way, but something is holding her back.
That something? Her dad is Santa Claus.
Blurred by AlicienneOfTarth (E, 12k, 1/1)
She turned toward him and he felt the force of her eyes on him, compelling him to look up. He did, no real choice there, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to tell her. Fuck those eyes, he had been obsessed with them the moment she had entered in his classroom, wearing one of her stupid Polka dot sweater, standing like a proud warrior and blushing ridiculously at the same time, an incoherent, lethal mix that he couldnât even explain. Every time he closed his eyes, lately, all he could see was that blue and he fell asleep trying to find the right nuance in the colour spectrum.
He cleared his throat. âYou forgot your assignment.â
Tell Her (you've got nothing to lose) by akindofmerrywar (T, 9.6k, 1/1)
âNo, itâs not that, IâŠâ he looked up at her broad smile - too sincere to be a faked customer service simper. And then it all spilled out in a rush. âI bought the last ticket on this flight to go and tell my friend Iâm in love with her. On Christmas Eve.â
Jaime's in love with Brienne. And at Christmas, you're supposed to tell people you love them - right? Even if it means abandoning your terrible family on Christmas Eve, booking the last seat on a flight to Tarth and spending several hours driving around the city looking for them. He can only hope that Brienne loves him back.
A Lousy Christmas and a Crappy New Year by HildegardtheB (M, 27k, 5/5)
For Jaime Lannister, Christmas is the worst -- the absolute worst. Until one truly terrible Christmas Eve when it isnât anymore.
you'd better not pout by slipsthrufingers (T, 8k, 1/1)
Office Christmas means one thing and one thing only: Secret Santa. Five times Brienne Tarth was disappointed by the office Secret Santa and one time she wasn't.
here is a collection by sdwolfpup of all of their holiday stories! (some listed here, some not.)

Post Lady Stoneheart / Lady Stoneheart Confrontation
there are so many out there that there will probably be multiple parts to this one as well lol. here's most of them, though! this list includes fics that deal with the stoneheart confrontation & ones that occur shortly after.
enjoy! as always send love to the authors of these fics!
a kiss to seal our fate tonight by janie_tangerine (E, 6.4k, 1/1)
He has no idea why everyone in the Brotherhood thinks that Brienne is his whore out of everything, but itâs not what is making him feel dizzy. Itâs what he said after.
He knows that people think heâs some kind of heartless monster; they donât call him Kingslayer for nothing. The only part of himself he could see in Brienne, maybe, itâs something of his fifteen-year old self, but thatâs the entirety of it. What if she looked like Cersei? he thinks, and he feels sick when he realizes that maybe his sweet sister isnât the only person who might be his mirror, after all.
The Kiss of Life by igotanobsession (M, 19k, 5/5)
Post-ADwD. Brienne is determined to save Podrick Payne and Hyle Hunt from Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood without Banners, without fulfilling her 'promise' to bring Jaime back to kill him in exchange. Without allies, Jaime's sword hand, or even a plan, this proves to be a difficult task. Smut-fluff, particularly near the end. Watch out.
only walk beside me by painting cranes (T, 6.4k, 1/1)
âI have one request,â Jaime called.
You dare make demands of me? Lady Stoneheart growled. Have you no shame?
âJust one,â he swallowed, trying to find the humor in his own request, but only landing on regret. âI wish to die at the hands of the Maid of Tarth.â
âSend me back,â Eurydice would have called out to her husband as he walked on. âSend me back to the Stranger. You have to let me go, so you can live.â
Brienne and Jaime disagree on an old tale of love.
What Might Have Been by sophie_of_tarth (E, 34k, 11/11)
When Brienne of Tarth sought out Jaime Lannister on Lady Stoneheartâs behalf, had she really thought about how both of them might have changed during their time apart?
A Change of Heart by LadyofTarth (E, 64k, 56/56)
Jaime finally comprehending the source of the rope burn on Brienne's neck asked, âWhat have you done?â âJaime, Iâm sorry....â she said her voice mournful and blue eyes watering. A woman so slight in figure it could not be believed emerged from the thicket of brush, along with several men, all armed. The woman was hooded, but Jaime recognized her.
Hesitate by pearly_rose (M, 24k, 12/12)
He had never known her to be an adept liar. Too righteous, tooâŠgood. Right now, she wears her guilt like a shroud. Itâs written all over her, in how stiffly she holds her shoulders, in the way she wonât quite look him in the eye. Still he follows her into the Riverlands without question, with the same swirling intensity in his stomach as when he galloped back to Harrenhal to save her from the bear pit. or Jaime and Brienne face Lady Stoneheart and must figure out how to live with the consequences.
The Lion Maid by LeoSapphirus (E, 25k, 8/8)
"âŠbut you will need to come alone. Elsewise, the Hound will kill her." She had said. And so he had followed. Because sheâd needed him to. Theyâd both made an oath.
Truth Like Ice, Like Fire by orphan_account (T, 5.6k, 1/1)
Going to kneel before Podrick, she felt his forehead with her palm. The whole of her hand fit over the boyâs brow with room still for her fingers to follow around the curve of his head. So small, she thought. Pain lanced through her as real as any sword. If his fever did not break soon, she knew her squire would not live to the end of the week.
She looked up into the canopy of trees. Beyond them, the sky was darkening. A weak trail of smoke drifted up from their fire and disappeared beyond the silvery boughs.
Once, she had thought honor a simple thing, as simple as truth. But those were just words. Real living was choosing, was harder. Ser Jaime had tried to tell her that, perhaps.
Honor Thy Regard (series) by SigilBroken (T - E, 48k, 8/8)
Canon continuation. Complete.
Souls to Hear by Albatros_assoiffe (M, 40k, Ch. 24/24)
âBrienne, you are a bad liar. Tell me the truth.â The truth. That she failed him. Failed Lady Catelyn. Failed Renly. That her honor was slipping out of her, like the blood Stoneheart thirsted for, pooling out of Jaimeâs severed neck. Like the tears she could no longer contain. Brienne turned away from Jaime and wiped them away, embarrassed, but they did not stop. âBrienne, what happened? Tell me.â
Picks up Jaime and Brienne's story immediately after Jaime's chapter in ADWD.
So Many Vows by greenmtwoman (T, 80k, 22/22)
It begins with a dying maid, and a marriage, but it doesn't stop there.
let me crawl inside your veins by makinggold (E, 6.9k, 1/1)
âI donâtâI havenâtâŠâ
âDo youâŠwant to?â
She thought about every time her eyes had lingered just a little too long, every time she dreamt of his bare body, every time she imagined something exactly like this happening while chastising her traitorous mind.
Somehow, this infuriatingly stubborn Lannister had gotten under her skin and against all odds, she loved him.
âYes, Jaime.â
