By Your Hand by girls_like_girls (24,060 words, first posted 31 July 2019, last updated 16 May 2021)

Summary: What happens if Jaime had to take Riverrun with bloodshed?

Ruin, I think, is actually finished, just not edited. It’s a Lord Commander Jaime story, just after Queen Brienne discovers she’s pregnant with Jaime’s child! 

Jaime closed the door to his chambers. She stood, looking through the window and out over Blackwater Bay. She could barely look at him. Once she told him, he’d never be able to look upon her. Brienne felt him stand behind her; his fingers brushing the jut of her hip. “You’re scaring me, Brienne. Did you seek out the Maester?”

“I did. Jaime—”

“Tell me.”

Brienne took a step forward, her arms wrapping around her waist. She had never imagined facing a future like this. Had never pictured herself Queen; had never thought she would be married let alone carry an illegitimate child. Had never imagined she would ever love someone as much as she loved Jaime. “I fear I have ruined you.”

He laughed. “Ruined me?” He laughed again, only halting when he saw she was not joining in on the joke. Jaime closed the distance between them. Seven save her, she welcomed his touch. Allowed his lips to brush against the inside of her wrist. “If anyone has ruined anyone, Sweetling, I fear it’s I who have ruined you. Lest you forget what we did on your island.” 

Ooh, thank you @aviss! This is for the Wip sampler basket thing.

So this is a fic that I’ve been sorta drafting with @tall-wolf-of-tarth that is based on the TV Show Time Team. We haven’t got anything written outside a rough sketch, but the basic plan is that Brienne is an archaeologist on the show and Jaime is a famous actor the producers bring in as the presenter because of flagging ratings. The show becomes a hit because viewers cannot get enough of the obvious sexual tension between Jaime and Brienne, even though they seem to hate each other!

I keep thinking I’m going to write this more as a horror fic and post it for Halloween but then I look at what date it is and laugh quietly to myself. So we’ll see. May get some late November unsettling fic instead. 😂

Back when I was procrastinating on writing Wine Down, I started planning a Choose Your Own Adventure Pennytree au.

Thank you for prompting!! I briefly lost lost courage for this, but then I doubled down, so here you go. Also written when I’m half sick and very tired, so quality is questionable, but!

Also I know it technically says Regency AU but I don’t know enough about Regency time period to make it so, so just have something vaguely like the second part of the prompt! IDK what AU this is, just. Something. Enjoy? Hopefully?

Regency AU - Either Person A or Person B is in danger of being ruined socially

[Send me prompt?<3]

———————

“Marry me.”

This is not how Jaime had imagined the words being spoken between the two of them. (And he had, now and then, if only to attempt picturing a softer rejection than the ones his sister had given him, because Brienne would be honest, but not cruel.)

Her gaze, that had been skidding around their campsite minutes ago, is now resolutely on him, though small part of this proposal’s cost is reflected in her reddened face. The way her throat struggles over a swallow in the stretching silence.

Jaime knows he should answer, before she takes it as a no, but he is captivated by how stalwart and vibrant she looks in this light, this moment. (When she had asked him to marry her.) Brilliant, with her blush and the shine of guiding stars born in her eyes, and all the more with her heart.

“Why?” he has to ask, because he knows she’d not ask this merely because she wants to. As much as Jaime wishes it to be the case.

“So you can claim having married me months ago, at the start of this journey or even before. Who will care at our destination for what you supposedly did or did not do with Cersei when you were teenager, when you have had a wife for a year already? At least your father should not care too much it is Brienne the Beauty. I am to be Evenstar, after all.” There’s just an echo of what he imagines ice sounds like breaking in the distance on Beauty and he swears he’ll revisit it on later time (when he can hopefully marvel at all of her and tell her just that), but first he has to clarify something.

“Are you telling me, you will cloak me and bring me under your protection from dishonor?” Him, the handless oathbreaker whose honor was washed away by the blood of his king and sister’s maidenhead? She’d put herself on line in even this way to protect him?

“Yes, Jaime. And when you meet someone who you truly wish to wed, we can annul the marriage on grounds of it never being consummated. No one will blame you for that.” Her face twists at that, possibly thinking back to her failed engagements or of the further embarrassment she’d willingly bring to herself (the speculations she threatened him into this, somehow, or whatever foul thing small minds would conjure).

His heart is so full it leaks molten gold into his limbs, part fury at all those who have hurt her so (it scorches his tongue that had been cruel to her, too, once upon a time), part awe and disbelieving gratitude. And part, the largest of all, such overwhelming love it blurs the edges of his vision with golden smoke.

“Oh, Brienne. If we are to marry, unconsummated is the last thing our marriage will be.”

Jaime hauls himself closer to her then, arm wrapping around her shoulders. In the flickering light of fire, her eyes are both darker and bluer than anything he has seen and he thinks it might be the most beautiful of their shades yet. (But he looks forward to possibilities of finding other favorites.) Brienne’s gaze wavers again, slipping from his eyes to his lips one word away from hers, and back up once more.

“If you will have me.”

She kisses him in lieu of answer.

5: What part was hardest to write?

I’m not going to say the entire thing, though that’s my initial instinct. The hardest thing was figuring out how much to write before he turns her and how much time/content needed to happen before King’s Landing. It also wasn’t easy to navigate a dynamic where sex is so prominent before time for feelings to develop. I didn’t give them the benefit of Jaime’s hand loss, because Brienne assumed that role. She lost what was, at the time, most important to her: her humanity. Basically, it’s difficult to navigate a fic that follows the canon timeline for a while and then has to shift drastically. And don’t even get me started on how many changes I made to the initial outline.

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

Oh, nevermind, I have to get started on that. So, there were several things I played with: 

1) An entire alternate universe where everyone is a different sort of mythical creature. The Starks were going to be werewolves, the Lannisters vampires, the Tyrells elves or Fae folk of some sort, etc. etc. But I realized if I went down that path...well, I didn’t want to rewrite everything because I’m a lazy writer, I guess. 

2) There was a version where Cersei and Tywin were ALSO vampires and Cersei was a lot more pissed that Jaime turned someone when their vampire incest love was extra special; 

3) There was a version where Brienne had to kill Cersei to save Sansa; 

4) There was a version where Jaime valonqared Cersei to save Brienne. 

...I think those are the main ones. Those likely would've been BETTER fics. AH WELL.
