This blog is now on hiatus.
If you need to have a look at my past Jaime x Brienne fic recs for any reason, you can still access my Jaime x Brienne Fic Recs Master Post, which mostly covers fics written pre-Season 8 of Game of Thrones.
If you are interested in my fics, I’m languageintostillair on AO3. Here are my major Jaime x Brienne stories:
The Assignment // An AU in which Jaime and Brienne are spies working undercover as a married couple with two children. Unfolds over ten years or so; loosely based on the TV series The Americans.
After an Almost // A modern AU that takes place two years after Brienne broke off a friendship with Jaime, this story explores how a relationship can grow out of heartbreak and trauma.
I never knew home until I found your hands // An Office AU that hardly ever takes place in an office, this is a never-ending love story about all the small things. WIP, but mostly written as a series of self-contained episodes.
Full Spectrum // A dystopian AU (with a dose of arranged marriage) set in a version of Westeros where the social hierarchy is defined by the ability to see colour; loosely based on the novel Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde. Written for the Jaime x Brienne Fic Exchange 2020.
Strings // Three stories – one from Jaime’s POV, and one from Brienne’s, and then a sequel – set in a modern AU in which they begin as colleagues with benefits. Written with a twist on the 5+1 structure.
Simple // WIP, Season 8 fix-it in which Jaime doesn’t die (but I don’t explain how), and ends up Warden of the West while Brienne is Lady Paramount of the Stormlands. After two years of minimal interaction, they sleep with each other once, only for Brienne to discover a couple of months later that she’s now with child.
If, by any chance, you ended up here because of the Korean drama Stranger, here are the links you need:
“Is there a chance you won’t be okay?”: An Analysis of Hwang Si-mok and Han Yeo-jin’s Final Scene in Stranger/Secret Forest Season 2 // A detailed breakdown of Si-mok and Yeo-jin’s final scene, with comparisons to their final scene in Season 1
A Thought Experiment // A Hwanghan (Si-mok/Yeo-jin) ficlet set at some point in Season 2 Episode 13. Yeo-jin thinks about Choi Bit’s question: “Are you more invested?”
