I would love to see a paragraph for 5 or 18! (The Wrong Year is a banger.)

I’ve had an idea for awhile for a fic where Brienne is a David Bowie-esque androgynous rockstar and Jaime is the Iman-type super model and they meet at a dinner party (as Bowie and Iman actually did; their love story is so sweet). It keeps nibbling at me to get written but I don’t know how best to approach it yet. Anyway! That’s the context for this.

5. all I wanted was a shimmer in your shine / to make me bright

He saw her in a music video, enough white makeup caked on her face she looked alien, with unnaturally bright blue eyes peering out. She sang a spaced-out, swimmy rock song and he heard the loneliness calling underneath.

He saw her at a dinner, shocked to discover she was covered in freckles. Her hair was short and spiky, her suit masculine but with a feminine cut to the hips that made her confusing on first view, made him want to look at her longer to see all of her.

He saw her on stage in a skintight bodysuit. A star shining before the grasping crowd. He saw her nervous smile when she passed him backstage after the encore. He saw her questioning glance when she exited her dressing room later and he was waiting in the hall.

He saw her. And he knew someday he would be hers.

An admittedly sad bit from Our souls lie down in the grass:

Brienne had always secretly worried that that was the fundamental truth of her life – that she was too much of all the things she shouldn't be, and never enough of the things she should. Even with Ron's taunting and her lack of friends, with her teacher Roelle who insisted it was so, she had convinced herself otherwise under the protective wing of her father, under Goodwin's patient tutelage. But one step into the outside world and it was all too obvious how many lies Brienne had been telling herself. She was who she was, and it would never be right.

Condolences. My civ students used to like claiming that Julius Caesar persecuted Christians...

How precocious of him! Really a man ahead of his times.

intellectualhedonist replied to your post: IS THERE HUDDLING FOR WARMTH IN THIS CHAPTER??

a+ lit reference, also HA this is just like the fitz/cap bennet where Things kept getting drawn out/delayed

IN MY DEFENSE I asked people if I should draw out the sharing a bed thing in A Nobler Ambition and got ten responses that very evening saying ‘YOU’D BETTER SLOW DOWN THAT BURN SO HELP ME GOD’ (I’m exaggerating a little). So I am merely catering to market demands!!! 

(also it’s what I like writing. >.>)

From Brienne-with-the-fish verse:

Brienne knew if she hadn't been in love with him already, it would have happened here.

Brienne considered shoving Jaime's head into the plate full of the food he still hadn't eaten, but Tormund might take that as her opening herself up to him, so she left Jaime and his stupidly perfect face alone.

full disclosure, the comment thanking you for the lovely pegging was like 80% a result of seeing that one wackadoodle comment on the pegging that was like "nope this was a MEASURE TOO FAR" and btw your beautifully succinct response of "k." had more BDE than I've seen in some time.

😂😂😂😂😂

The support for pegging is always welcomed. This is a pro-Jaime Lannister Getting Pegged Tumblr so best that everyone know that going in, I guess.

Also I channeled the BDE from @agirlnamedkeith, so props where they are due.
