Comment fic meme #2

[gotexchange_mod]

After the first round of got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (here's a list of all the fics that were written last time), so I thought it might be fun to do this again. (Like last time, it's posted on the mod account journal because I don't want to enable anonymous comments on the exchange community.)

Jaime/Sansa and/or Jaime/Catelyn- red hair

[lainemontgomery]

Jaime has a secret thing for redheads.

FILL: Jaime/Sansa and Jaime/Catelyn- red hair - red, i feel my soul on fire (pt 1/2)

He keeps it locked deep, a secret he barely whispers to himself, but Jaime likes his sister best when the setting sun kisses all the colors of dusk across her in his bed, when she is bathed in purple and orange and red. Red, most of all.

He’s always had a thing, truly, for red hair.

(He can never, ever, ever tell Cersei.)

It’s less common than the other colors, after all, and if he’s learned anything from his father (a Lannister always pays his debts our name lives on hear me roar) it’s that rare things are valuable and worth owning, and worth owning more than anyone else, because it always comes in handy, in the end, to have more - just more, of everything, all the time

Catelyn Stark is less beautiful when he sees her in the dimness of his captivity, grief and war written along the curve of her cheek, but what little light filters through catches on the red in her hair, and really, he isn’t at his best either. He’s only ever, in his life, been with Cersei but he’s drunk enough and desperate enough to have her, and perhaps guilty enough, too.

Sometimes you can fuck away your pain, you know, he wants to tell her. Take it from someone who knows all too well. And her hair is still red, after all

Ohhhhh so perfect!

I absolutely love the emphasis on red hair as a rarity; of course that's how a Lannister would value things, and it grounds Jaime's little kink in something very real and powerful.

All of the Jaime/Cat memories are just flawless, from the innocence of that first encounter- he just wants to touch her hair...ahhhh all the feeeeels..- to the fact that he seriously considers seducing her while in captivity. Amazing.

And, of course, allll the love the in the world for your Jaime and Sansa moments. It's so interesting that he is constantly qualifying Catelyn's beauty- yes, she has the red hair, but she's not as beautiful as Cersei, not as beautiful when he sees her in his cell- but he acknowledges Sansa as something else, something rarer (again with that fabulous motif) and more special.

Thank you so much for filling this prompt and for filling it so beautifully!

Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I wrote it and was like "UGH WUT HOW DID I MAKE THIS ANGSTY."

I think he definitely sees Sansa as something greater - 'my last chance at honor' is a heavy burden to put upon someone! I'm so glad you enjoyed that part, I think he would definitely see them in different ways - Catelyn as more human, more flawed, but utimately sees her in a more sexual way than Sansa, who is more an adoration thing, an admiration, a replacement for his pedestal where Cersei once stood (and where Catelyn never could) - still attraction but a little bit more of a distance.

Thank you again for the lovely comments!! :D

This is so so lovely! I like this Sansa, too. How she has been reforged into something harder.

Thank you! I'm kind of a fan of the 'Sansa pwns everyone and everything' endgame theory, although I think she'd still have that sweetness that makes her SANSA, I think after everything she's been through she's forged a bit of steel to herself. I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D

I really like this fic. Jaime/Cat strike me as an interesting pairing, and I love the idea of Sansa growing into her own power. Jaime preferring red hair because it's rare is an inspired idea. I enjoyed the progression of Jaime's thoughts from meeting Cat and Lysa in Riverrun to seeing Cat and Sansa in Winterfell to propositioning widowed Cat to ultimately trying to reclaim honor through Sansa. Jaime's perception of the two women and their degrees of Tully-ness and Stark-ness was a great ongoing theme and reminded me of Petyr's observations in the books.

[juno_chan]

Thank you!! I think Jaime/Catelyn could have totally worked in an alternate universe - he likes the strong women, after all! I'm so glad you liked it! I tried to mirror Jaime's journey (arrogant youth, brother to the Queen, desperate prisoner, seeking redemption) through his thoughts on the girls. I also thought of Petyr's thoughts about them, as well, and then tried to dial the creepy down a few thousand notches. I think Jaime would have been more attracted on a man-to-woman level to Catelyn, and then kind of put Sansa on a pedestal and sees her as an almost other-worldly creature, where he can reclaim his honor.

And now I totally want to fill this prompt again with something light-hearted (light-hearted?? ME???) with flirty Jaime and Catelyn. XD MIGHT HAVE TO.

[fields195]

I like your take on the difference in how Jaime views the two women. Catelyn is a peer/real woman, and Sansa is an icon/symbol. Luckily, it's easy for Jaime to be way less creepy than Petyr--no icky father/daughter fantasies from him. Now, I really want you to write light-hearted Jaime/Cat; it'll be good for you!

I've always been so intrigued by Jaime and this was such a treat! we get to see how he's facinated by Catelyn and Sansa...but in such different ways...and as a Sansa fan, I love how strong she ends up...great stuff!

Thank you! Jaime is a great character. :) And I adore Sansa as well. I'm glad you enjoyed!

Oh god, I love this, love Jaime's distanced apprecciation of both Catelyn and Sansa.

if her mother is copper than she is porcelain <3 <3 <3

[juno_chan]

Thank you so much!! I had both Jaime/Catelyn and Jaime/Sansa feels after AFFC (though I still 'ship Jaime/Brienne as the end game!), where he thinks about visiting Riverrun (and preferring Catelyn to Lysa) and declares Sansa as his 'last chance for honor.' I'm glad you enjoyed it!! :)
