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
„he wrote in an awkward hand that might have done credit to a six-year-old being taught his first letters by a maester” Jaime IX
Here's the letter (for those who struggle to read the handwriting)
In truth, I am a fool for writing this.
Rest assured, this parchment shall not
lay in your hand; the first and last thing it
will see is my face, bequeathed with its
solemn suffering, before burning within
I have a place no other than this for my
thoughts. They run rampant, they do; they
center you, like the blasted witch you are.
Always. Incessantly; like it were a spell,
Kingslayer. A gnarly word for a gnarly man,
and just like you are no man, the merit of
your name weighs heavier still than the
treatment it had garnered. I had thought,
in my ache, for that name to define me
whole. It is all I was; Oathbreaker,
Kingslayer - prisoner, wretch, failure. I
had thought it is all I could measure
to be, now; I did not speak it, I will never
speak it, but I had thought it. And here
you are, my kin, in that sense - one
Kingslayer to another, and yet, you are
You are good. You are good, and you do not
know it. I find myself in comparison to
you, my besodden equal, and I am rife with
anger. There is an even ground between us,
but you are there, up high.
I do not know whether I could ever reach
you. But something in me wishes to try.
