Game of Thrones Imagines

Everything was prepared for the arrival of the royal family. Everyone in the castle had been working tiredlessly to meet the standarts of the royal visitors. You did your duty as a maid for the Stark daughters - Sansa and Arya - and helped their mother, Lady Catelyn, who has always been quite fond of you, to pick dresses for the occasions and care for financial matters, too. You stood in the courtyard and helped carrying baskets full of grain to the kitchens. "When will they arrive?", one of the kitchen maids asked you. "In a few hours. We don't have too much time left.", you replied breathing heavily. Not too much time until you'd see him again. You met Jaime Lannister when you still lived in Kingslanding, selling the finest dresses from Braavos, the day you were ordered to the castle to find a matching dress for Princess Myrcella for her nameday. Jaime was in the kingsguard and he was guarding the princess, watching you pick satin colours with her. Later that day he came to talk to you about who you are and where you came from. You told him the story of how you came from the riverlands to the capital to build up your own existence, your own life, far away from the place you were born and your family which was closely related to the Tully family. You did not know how to feel about him at first because you knew what people said about him - the kingslayer. The oathbreaker. The man without honor. People had told you he was an arrogant, cocky prick. But for your own surprise you got to know him as a completely different person. You secretly met him and the little staircase above the little beach near your house every night when he was not in service and you talked until the first pink stripes showed up on the horizon. To you, Jaime was a kind, caring, and compassionate man who was not proud on the reputation he had. As things go - you fell for him. Yes, you fell for him. Not only because he looked so beautiful in the pale moonlight but also because he seemed to have a heart as big as the ocean beneath your feet and because he really cared about you or else he would not have sneaked out the castle almost every night just to see you. One night you dared to ask him why he talked to you. Why he seemed to have so much interest in you. And his reply was: "Because - because you make me feel...something I have never felt before." The next moment your lips met. The following months were the happiest time in your life. Jaime and you continued to meet secretly but now at your place. You'd sleep together and you'd spend as much time together as his job would allow. Sadly, he had to sneak out of your house every morning in order not to be caught. You knew his position did not allow him to marry or to father children but that was fine with you. Everything was fine as long as he was there with you. The day came that you left for Winterfell to become a 'maid for everything' in the castle. The job was paid much better than your old one and you only got the position thanks to your relations to the Tullys although you were not a noblewoman. It broke your heart to say goodbye to Jaime but he promised he'd come back to you. He'd always come back to you. You cried. You still loved him and waited every day for a sign until you received a raven from him that he'd join the royal family on their trip to the north, to Winterfell. So now, you probably were the one person to look forward for this visit more than anybody else. You could barely hide your smile. ----------------- You all stood together in the courtyard, waiting for the arrival of your visitors. The Stark family, of course, stood in the first row but you stood right beside them as it was your task to keep the youngest children calm and silent. You held Arya's and Rickon's hand, just in case. Your heart skipped a beat the moment you saw the first horsemen and the first carriage arrive. You did your best to keep calm but all you wanted was to run towards them, fall into Jaime's arms - but of course you couldn't. As they came closer you could see them properly and you recognized him right away in his shining golden armour. They stood still before you and the king left the carriage but you had no eyes for this. You only had eyes for the golden hair that waved in the wind the second Jaime had put off his helmet. He looked through the crowd, his eyes seeking someone, and then he saw you. Ignoring the crowds around us, you smiled at each other. He was there. Right before you. Just a little closer and you could finally feel him again. ----------------- "(Y/N)!", Lady Stark whispered and pulled on your sleeve. "Uhm - yes, Mylady?", you replied quickly yet nervously. "Would you show the Queen's brothers their chambers? Could you do that?", she asked you nicely, you nodded and she seemed relieved. You walked towards Lord Tyrion and Jaime and your heart beat like crazy. He was right. He would come back to you. You didn't even dare to look at him in front of all the people so you just focussed on Tyrion, dying to look at Jaime, though. "Mylord, Ser Jaime - if you'd follow me; Lady Stark told me to show you your chambers.", you said taking a small bow. "Of course.", Tyrion said and you turned around, taking a shy look over your shoulder just to see Jaime for a second. "And you might be?", Lord Tyrion asked politely. "(Y/N) (Y/L/N).", you replied. "I'm a maid for the Starks." He made an approving sound and when you finally reached Lord Tyrion's chamber you turned around to look at them both. "So, this is yours.", you said. "If you need anything, feel free to ask for it. A servant will be around day and night." "Thank you so much, (Y/N).", he said gratefully and closed the door behind him. Now you were alone with Jaime. Unsure what to do since you were still so close to his brother's door you took a few steps ahead as Jaime grabbed you by the arm and pressed you against the wall. You smiled and looked into his fascinatingly green eyes before he kissed you. "Gods, I have missed you so much.", he whispered. "I love you, (Y/N). I love you so much." You kissed him again. "I love you, too.", you sighed. "Why don't you show me my chamber?", he asked. And so you did. Jaime closed the door behind the two of you and instantly went back to kissing you like you were water and he had been thirsty for days. "I will not let you go again.", he said and pressed you on the bed. "I have been starving for you, (Y/N)." In fact, you had been starving for him, too. You admired his face in the light. His sharp jawbone, the cheekbones, the eyes. This man was so beautiful, so adorable, and here he was. Kissing you over and over again. --------------- You lay in his arms afterwards. He held you so tight that it felt like he was afraid someone might take you away from him but you loved it. He still smelled so good, so like him, even after they travelled for weeks. "It's so cold up here.", he said and covered you both in even more blankets. "I have to get used to it." "No, you don't.", you whispered. "You won't be here for long, right?" You looked up to him. "Right.", he replied. "Maybe a fortnight." "And then you're going to leave me again?", you asked and placed your head a bit higher on his chest. "No, that's too soon." "What if I take you with me?", he asked. "For me to live in the shadows as your secret mistress? Oh, I love you Jaime but what a life would that be?", you said saddened. "No. As my wife.", Jaime replied quietly and you stared at him in shock. "What?" "I don't want to leave you again, I don't want to be without you ever again. I don't want you to live in the shadows as my mistress, as my secret. I want you to live every day of your life right beside me as my wife. As the mother of my children. I asked my father if he can release me from my vows of the kingsguard if I married to become his heir and he said yes. The crown is in his debt, anyway.", he repeated himself and took your right hand in his. You were shocked. Was he serious? You couldn't! What would your parents say? His father? The King? The Queen? You were no one. He had to marry a noblewoman, a highborn Lady, not you! And children? You were too young for children you thought. Had he the future already planned? "I don't know.", you whispered in shock and left the bed. "I mean - I love you, Jaime. No doubt! But if you marry me you break another vow and you know what people will say. Especially if you marry me, a no one. You're a highborn, I am no one!" "You're not no one!", he insisted and got out of the bed, too. "Not for me. I don't want to marry anyone but you, I don't love anyone but you. I choose you! And I don't care what people say or what they'll think - I never did. I may have forsaken every vow I ever made but not this one! I love you, (Y/N) and I will do so for the rest of my days. I will be a loyal and loving husband to you and I will always, always be right by your side. Marry me...grow old with me...die with me." You had tears in your eyes. "Jaime - you...you'll give up on everything you have if you -" "I have nothing without you. My life was empty and pointless before I met you. I see I have not know what love truly means before I met you. I fell in love with you so immensely that I cannot stand the thought of us ever being seperated again." He took your hands in his. "(Y/N), marry me.", he said. "I don't want children.", you whispered. "Not yet. Maybe not...ever." "You and me we'd have the most beautiful children.", he said. "I want to start my own family with you, my own life with you." "I'm not ready for that, yet.", you said. He sighed. "Look, (Y/N), I will not pressure you into something as big and important as this. But how wonderful would it be to hold something in my arms that is half you and half me? One day." "I cannot make plans about that now.", you said. "Not because of you! If I wanted anyone to be the father of my child then it would be you - hypothetically. I'm not ready to talk about children now. How does that even come to your mind?" He smiled. "Because when I woke up next to you in the morning the only thing on my mind was how wonderful it would be to wake up to this every morning for the rest of my life and how wonderful it would be if we had our very own family. Our children impatiently wanting us to get out of bed in the morning. Our children playing in the sun at Casterly Rock - learning to ride, to fight, to read. I cannot get this image out of my head. You and me forever, watching our children grow up. Taking all the big steps. Is that such a bad thing to dream of?" You sighed. "Of course not. But I feel like this is such a huge step to take for us. I'm unsure about the future. What will happen if we marry?" "I can tell you what will happen when we marry.", he said. "We'd be the happiest people in all of Westeros. If not on earth. I will be by your side all the time. We will wake up in the morning next to each other and I will not have to run away before you wake up. I will give you everything you want, everything I have - starting with my last name." You just stared at him with tears in your eyes. For once, you listened to your heart. It was beating too fast to be wrong. "Marry me, (Y/N).", he said again and knelt before you. "Marry me." With tears streaming down your face you nodded and said yes.

“Can we keep him?”, you ask Jaime after you fell into the sheets next to him. “Yes. I’ve grown quite used to him. His cookies are great.”, Jaime jokes and you laugh. After all these years he can finally laugh about himself. “No!”, you say laughing. “You know what I mean. The dog.” “Would that be alright with you?”, he asks. You nod. “(Y/S/N) is so happy. And it’s such a lovely dog. Such a good boy.” “Oh, thank God, I wanted to keep it, too.”, Jaime says and smiles. “Did you?”, you ask. “Because it’s matching your hair? You need a haircut…” He laughs. “No, I just…I’d just like to keep him. For us. He’s going go Oberyn’s place with (Y/S/N) every weekend, though.” “I can accept that.”, you say smiling.

I ship you with Tyrion Lannister / Arianne Martell!Tyrion: You had me at “my room is practically a library [...]”, I admit that. We all know that Tyrion loves to read, too, and since you both enjoy this, you’d have much to talk about, many ideas and dreams to share. He’d give you the room and space you’d need for your creativity and he’d enjoy to see you happy.Arianne: Dorne is a great place for creativity. I’m sure she would love to learn from you - whether it be how to paint or who ruled Westeros in which year.In Dorne, you’d be a loved couple. Loved by the people, loved by your family.You’d have much fun there I think!

Thank you! :) I ship you with Robb Stark / Ellaria Sand (before she went insane)!I think that once the war is over, you and Robb could start your own family and live at Winterfell. During the years of war he’d protect you with his own life and you’d be his greatest supporter. There would be the needed harmony after the war!Ellaria reminds me a lot of you. I think that you’d get along quite well right away and that you’d also get along very well with her beautiful daughters. They’d love you!You’d be very welcome in her family!

I ship you with Oberyn Martell! Dark hair, tan skin - belongs to Dorne already! Family means everything to Oberyn, too, so you’d live a very happy life in the south! I think that when you meet him, your shyness will go away quite soon because you’d be comfortable around him. There’s no need to hide something from him, he’s very understanding. Oberyn would laugh with you, everyday. And when you go to King’s Landing - don’t let him fight against the mountain, I beg you!!! :)

Aw thank you so much! Have a nice day, too!I ship you with Oberyn Martell. Black long hair really reminded me of the dornish type (but if you’re rather pale then you could also be from the north!!). Also an open mind is required if you’re with the Prince of Dorne so it’s great you have it. Your honesty combined with a short temper fits to Oberyn like blue jeans white shirt. You’d be absolutely on one wavelength!

I ship you with Jon Snow! I think Jon would appreciate your independence because it would maybe make him feel more secure about your wellbeing. You’re both people who’ll do everything for the ones you love and it would create a strong bond between you. You’d got a lot of people to avenge, a lot of things to fix. I think you’d be the support Jon needs to be even more brave, even more of a conqueror and he’d support you, too. No matter what!

Hello my Slytherin-Sister! :)I ship you with Daario Naharis! He’d know that you’re shy but he’d let you be rude to him at first so he could tease you with it later. You come over as quite intelligent and thus he’d be attracted to you as soon as you open your mouth. I feel like Daario can read between the lines, read people, you know. Just like him, you’re hotheaded which may cause the one or the other fight but it would end in a hot night, anyway. 

I ship you with Gendry! To me you seem like someone who will not give up, no matter how tough the situation is. I think you’d be super cute with Gendry because he’s a real sunshine (if he’s not fleeing from being sacrifized or murdered ya know) but he’d have a sense for your moods. He’d know how to act towards you during the sassy mood but he would be burnt by you, too, and inside he’d be smiling at it. I think Gendry would be very proud to have someone like you, someone you can steal horses with. When he overthinks, you’ve already found the solution.

I ship you with Oberyn Martell / Margaery Tyrell!Oberyn likes women who stand up for themselves, who know they have a voice and use it. In Westeros, you would be called unconventional for your views but Oberyn as the Prince would support you and give you what you need.He is also very sensitive when it comes to family (sigh...:() and I think you’d be on one wavelength.Same goes for Margaery - you’d be totally on one wavelength. Tyrell and Highgarden in general are quite open minded so Margaery would definitely support your views. Together you’d have the power to change a whole lot about how people in Westeros are treated. Margaery would love your sensitivity, she’d be so attracted to it!

I ship you with Robb Stark! (Was it the wolf-thing? Probably...)I thought that you would be a great queen of the north next to Robb, someone fair, loving, and protective with the typical northern strength. Robb would give you as much freedom as you ask for because he’d know how to make and keep you happy and satisfied.

Hi! I ship you with Viserys Targaryen. (And your English is absolutely okay, it isn’t my first language, either! :) )I think Viserys is dark and mysterious and I’m convinced that he could have been less of a...yeah...if there had been someone who believed in him.Viserys needs someone loyal and loving and I don’t want to romanticise his abusive character but I think you would have been not only a support for him but also an equal opponent. Someone who won’t take his shit.Thank you! :)

You watch your four years old daughter Joanna comb her hair in front of your mirror. She has her father’s hair - hair as golden as the sun, not brown like yours is. You named her after Jaime’s beloved mother and he keeps saying how much she looks like Lady Joanna. Jaime was forced to leave the King’s Guard seven years ago because of his father who kept asking him to do so. You always knew that he misses his old job but you see how much he had changed, what a progress he made and it makes you proud of him. “Mother - is father coming back?”, Joanna asks you. You smile at her from the other side of the room.  “Yes, he is, my sweetling.”, you answer. Yesterday evening Lord Tywin told you that the battle was over and the troops were coming back. You just can’t wait to see your husband again, to finally hear his voice again. Everytime he went to battle you went through the hardest days of your life, fearing for his life. “I missed him!”, Joanna says and comes to you. “I don’t want him to leave again. I want to go back to Casterly Rock.” It makes you smile because there is a whole lot of her father’s character in her words. She is just like he is, you think. It breaks your heart a little that you can’t tell her why you’re no longer in your safe home, Casterly Rock, but in the plotting, smelling capital. “Jo, I told you that we can’t go back home for a while. Our family needs us here.”, you say, thinking of Jaime’s sister who would pay any price to get you away from here. You never understood why she hates you so much. Finally, you hear footsteps coming to your door.  “Is that father?”, Joanna asks you, taking your hand. It must be Jaime, you think. He finally came back to you after all these days. You open the door before he knocks - but it isn’t Jaime.  “Where is my husband?”, you ask the young man who probably is in his early twenties. “Mylady - I’m sorry - “, it feels like your heart is falling out of your chest. You can’t breathe. Then you look at your daughter, looking at you with her big eyes. “Go to your room, Jo.”, you whisper. “Why? Where is father?”, she asks with all her Lannister-stubbornness. “Go, Joanna!”, you accidentally yell at her and feel sorry right away. Before you can say another word, she just walks away as loud as she can. “Is he dead?”, you ask the man quietly.  He shakes his head and your knees go weak. “Mylady, he was captured by Stark’s men during the battle. It was a surprise. He fought valiantly but was captured and brought to Stark. That is all we know.” You think you whispered something like “Thank you” and closed the door. Then you sit on the ground because your knees are to weak for you to walk any further. Thanks to Joffrey’s cruelty and Cersei’s sick games with Sansa and Arya your husband is in the hands of Robb Stark so he has something to control the King, something that might help him to get his sisters back.  He won’t kill him, you think. He is too important to be killed off for revenge. “Mother?”, you hear Joanna say. Your heart drops.

I ship you with Jon Snow and Margaery Tyrell!Jon: Jon has learned it the hard way not to trust anyone but I really think that once he trusted you, nothing could come between the two of you. You’d be his one and only, the one person he’d never doubt. Maybe you could inspire him to try new things, too, and I think your sarcasm would always make him laugh even if you’re honestly being sarcastic with him. His family means everything to Jon, too, and I think that’s why it’s so great with you together. You’d avenge his family, take back their lands and start your own family if you want to.Margaery: I think it would be a very chill and relaxed relationship. Not much jealousy simply because there’d be no need to. You’d live in Highgarden together maybe and life would be so sweet! (I always pictured Highgarden as a really cool place with the sea close and delicious food etc). You could make new plans together, whatever you two want to do. You could be powerful people who are kind to those less powerful. People would love you!

No worries you did nothing wrong, darling! :)I ship you with Arya Stark and Jon Snow.Arya: I think Arya would be great with you because she would know how to make you feel better about things. And she’d know what it takes to make you feel better. Also she wouldn’t hesitate to tell you what she thinks, she’d be very honest. Together you could really kick ass, honestly! Jon: Jon has his dark moods, too, and to be honest he always seems to be in such a dark mood. But he is a real sweetheart and he’d take great care of you and you could always talk to him about everything, be honest about everything. Jon would understand you I think and he wouldn’t push you into something you don’t want. You’d make such progress together!

I ship you with Podrick Payne! I think Pod is a little sunshine (even if he can’t show it atm). He’d be really drawn to you because you are energetic and thus magnetic to him. He’d support your interests and would probably start learning about art and psychology, too, so you could talk about that together. He’d love to see how joyful you become when talking about these things. His job is a very serious one, though, and this is why he’d appreciate it how you can calm down and collect yourself when it’s needed.
