Ficlet: Winter's end

Post-series!ficlet. Brienne/Jaime. 800-ish words. For munditia who asked for Brienne/Jaime when I offered to write drabbles.

The concept of drabble eluded me here, I'm afraid. Brienne/Jaime is a pairing I love dearly, even if I've never written it so this is a bit scary. Also, I couldn't stop thinking about this post-series world that popped up in my ( Read more... )

I wish I could formulate a more coherent and intelligent reply, as sophisticated and polished as your writing, but I'm afraid that this is more or less me right now:

Yay, I'm so happy it made you happy. :)

I might even have the nerve to write more Jaime/Brienne now that I've taken the first, scary step.

I whole-heartedly approve!

I'll wait for more then. This one was great.

Here via munditia.

ACH, this was so great. Happy ending fics for them may be a guilty pleasure for me but there's always that nagging feeling of "this would never happen". Bittersweet ones are a little easier to hope for. Anyway, I love how you used the theme of oaths at the end, it's so central to their relationship.

Also: sometimes Brienne feels that dark twist in her chest, thinking it odd how destruction leaves freedom in its wake, thinking it even odder than she almost enjoys it; so good!

Thank you! I agree that happy endings seem to be impossible for them, but I want to hope it doesn't need to be pitch black either. :) (I blame Brienne. While I normally don't mind my favourite characters to suffer, I want her to have the best things in the world.)

How beautiful.

I suspect bittersweet like this is probably the best we can hope for them in canon.

Thank you! I'd be happy if we had anything in canon at this point, alas.

Thank you! I am so glad you thought it felt true to the characters and sadly, I agree that I don't think they'll ever have a happy ending.
