OP here. Oh my god. *snugs this*

It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's absolutely what I wanted. And it had TOMMEN.

[cold_clarity]

:D :D :D :D :D

I'm so glad you liked it!

TOMMEN. I want only happiness for him.

[littlemissgriff]

I admit, I totally dream of Tommen being all sweet and Tommen with Rickon as his rabid close-enough-to-a-knight in shaggy hair and probably only partially dressed - because I have a feeling that boy will have issues with shirts, shoes, and just about anything else- protecting him from people who say mean things. Because he's Tommen and no one should be allowed to say mean things to him.

OH wow, this was fantastic. I like that it's sympathetic but pulls no punches when it comes to how bitter and how fierce Cersei can be. And OMG TOMMEN ALL GROWN UP MY HEART.

[cold_clarity]

thank you! I'm glad Cersei's temperament read through.

TOMMEN. <3333

This is perfect! Cersei's bitterness towards Jaime and how she talks about Brienne and what she thinks of their son is true to her character. And OMG Tommen is all grown up and Jaime is taking care of him. I love daddy!Jaime :)
Great Job!

[cold_clarity]

thank you! I do love how very fraught Cersei is, as a person.

aw, Tommen. I know that he probably won't survive the series, but I really couldn't bear to kill him off.

glad you enjoyed! and again, thanks for taking the time to comment. it's much appreciated. :D

Perfection!! And frankly I’m glad that that Fic is not so kinky. I seriously love it!

[cold_clarity]

thank you!

I'm actually pretty horrible at writing smut? so I'm glad that the lack of overt sex scenes didn't let people down.

Oh god. This is absolutely heart-breaking. Even though I rather ship Brienne & Jaime like burning, I ache for Cersei here. Her helplessness and her rage and her bitterness are so palpable, and it's like a punch in the gut. That was a really great fic and I hope you'll write more in this fandom!

[cold_clarity]

oh wow, thank you so so much for this review.

I HARDCORE ship Brienne and Jaime, too, but I think (for me, at least), part of shipping them means acknowledging that Jaime loves Cersei--it's like part of the package deal with him, and I don't think he'll ever really get over it, no matter how much he may come to resent her. (hi, I also ship Cersei/Jaime; could you tell?)

and I'm so pleased to hear that Cersei worked for you in this! I really wanted to stay true to her character without necessarily vilifying her--it's great to know that my efforts came across!

I do hope to write more. I admit, I'm a bit of a sporadic writer when it comes to any fandom that I'm in, but given how long I've been into ASOIAF, I'm surprised I haven't written more stuff.

thanks again for all the kind words!
