YOU WROTE JAIME/BRIENNE!!!

Oh, I loved this. So much of the problem I have with this pairing is it's hard to find fic which believably captures their relationship, and you did it perfectly. So happy to see fic from you :)

aww thank you bb!! :D

haha I was actually more than a little apprehensive about posting this because I was afraid I didn't get the spirit of these two down right, your comment definitely cheered me up <3333

YAY for the end of writer's block!!!! I did a little happy squee when I saw a new story from you on my f-list; It's great to see you writing again!!

You did a great job with the characterization- I really loved the first section when they're sparring. Brienne's insecurities ring very true, and of COURSE Jaime would have no idea what's going on.

Hope to see more writing from your beautiful brain sooon!

haha YES I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET THIS FIC OUT :D

ty bb, I'm so glad it worked for you (especially given how apprehensive I was of posting it in the first place lol)--you're far too kind <3333

oh this is just gorgeous, I love your exploration of brienne here. I've never thought about her reacting angrily to her mistreatment, let alone taking it out on jaime, but it works so well. lovely work!

aww thank you, I'm so glad it worked for you!! :D<333

the prompt is definitely what got the wheels turning for "angry/bitter Brienne"--I don't think we get much of that on her end on the show/in the books so it was both super scary and interesting to explore :p

JAIME/BRIENNE!! My very first ASoIaF OTP!! I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!

And this is seriously just PERFECT. You nailed their characterizations so, so well, and this feels very much like how it would actually go with them. Also, it was hot, and I appreciate that. ;)

WELL DONE, BB!! And I'm so happy the writer's block seems to be passing!!

aww omgosh thank you, YOU ARE FAR TOO KIND <333

your thinking that I got her characterization down means the world to me because I actually debated not posting this for fear of not having done her and their dynamic justice hehe :$

ALSO, I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE YOUR FIRST ASOIAF OTP!! haha, what are some of your others, since apparently I am severely lacking in my knowledge?? :p

UM, THIS IS WITHOUT FLAW? You nailed both Brienne and Jaime individually as well as their dynamic. This might be the most believable Brienne/Jaime fic I've read, tbh. Also, hot.

*squeals in delight* THANK YOU BB!! <33

you've paid me the best of compliments given the fact that I pretty seriously debated not posting this for fear of not having captured the essence of the characters and their rather unorthodox relationship lol :$

BASICALLY, YOU ARE THE ACTUAL BEST <333
