Sansa x Brienne moodboard for @femmedamsel
for ASOIAF Secret Santa @asoiafrarepairs
There she was, Sansa Stark entered the cafe looking adorably prim and proper with books in one hand and a lemonade glass in the other. Brienne didn't miss how her long red curls fell around her shoulders and how those luscious locks shined and bounced as Sansa looked around for her. She's like a princess out of a fairytale, Brienne thought dreamily. All she wanted to do was kiss Sansa right then and there in front of everyone so that they knew that she was off limits. Alas! That could never be, she reminded her restless heart, Sansa was only her friend and a student at the self defense class Brienne taught. Sansa had been through a bad breakup and probably didn't want to start something new and Brienne didn't want to mess up their friendship so she sucked it up. If only she could act on her feelings, if only it was that simple. Brienne sighed and held up a hand to get her attention from across the room.
As Sansa looked around the room, she made up her mind. Today would be the day she will tell Brienne what was on her mind, and how she felt. It had been driving Sansa insane, the past few weeks of intense eyelocks, Brienne's eyes lingering on her lips and her hands on Sansa's body in their Self defense classes were making Sansa want to do unspeakable things to her self defense teacher! It was more than just sexual attraction thougth, Brienne was kind, gentle, strong and respectful just like how Sansa always imagined her partner to be. Sometimes Sansa found herself getting jealous of other members at the class if Brienne spent too much time with them. Seriously how was Brienne still single? So, she decided, she was going to ask Brienne out today no matter what! Her mind was made up and nothing was going to change it... but as her eyes found hers across the room Sansa felt her heart pounding uncontrollably in her chest and the familiar sensation of nervousness took over. If only Sansa could read Brienne's thoughts, then things would be so easy.
OR the modern au where Brienne and Sansa both are unbelievably in love with each other and literally everyone, except them, knows about it.
