[...] One by one the other agents in the room turned to see what the distraction was, and reacted in much the same way. She made sure to look them each in the eye, and more often than not they were the ones to look away first. The game of chicken won.

Jaime was near the window, absorbed in whatever was on the computer screen in front of him as one of the junior agents, Podrick, explained the communications array they had set up throughout the complex. It was only when Pod stopped talking in the middle of his sentence that Jaime noticed just what everyone else had noticed, and turned.

Brienne kept her shoulders down, even as they wanted to creep up beside her ears, and looked him in the eye. His green eyes so familiar, and yet the expression she saw there was… What was it?

He looked her up and down, eyes trailing down to take in the length of the dress, the heels, the new haircut. Everything.

Jaime swallowed, then turned back to Podrick and the computer screen. “Nice you’ve finally joined us,” he said. “We have work to do.” --- from She’s Beauty, She’s Grace (She’ll Punch You In The Face)

From a future chapter of Baby I Will:

The bar is worry enough on its own. Ellaria hadn't been wrong: Brienne's been putting in intense hours trying to solidify the bar's foundations. With Jaime away, it's opened up plenty of time, and she's filled almost all of it working on the plan. She gives her dad discrete tasks where she can, and after Jon had asked repeatedly how he can help, she's started engaging him, too. But even with both of them, there's still almost more to do than she can handle some days.

POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective

The end of Chapter 1 of History Never Repeats, from Addam’s POV:

Neither of them notices when Addam arrives, but they immediately have Addam’s full attention. 

Jaime is not his usual cool, unruffled on-camera self. The woman’s comments are getting to him, though probably only someone who knows Jaime as well as Addam does would be able to tell quite how much. And the woman herself. Well. 

Addam hasn’t met many women who aren’t immediately taken with his cousin Jaime, but clearly this big, tall woman with the crooked nose is one of them. He’s seen so many, much prettier, women struck speechless or reduced to babbling when they’re introduced to him, but this one fairly drips disdain.

The atmosphere between them is electric. It will make brilliant television. Addam can tell that already. 

He calls “Cut!” but he doubts that will be enough to stop the match in progress.

Addam goes over to referee, already mentally mapping out his future plans for them.

I’m not sure what number you wanted me to answer, so I’ll just go with my favourite number (8).

8. The cringiest account/fan account you’ve ever made? (oh god)

Like... to be honest I think they’re all pretty cringey-- even this one, sometimes. But my first fanfiction.net account was certifiably cringey, though I genuinely can’t remember the pseudonym I used, so you can’t get your gratification that way. I think I deleted it from my memory for my sanity. 

1. Tywin never approves of Brienne, but Tywin does at least recognize that Brienne could physically remove him from any location and that’s to say nothing of her much larger father. Tywin tends to avoid Brienne for the most part. 

2. Brienne and Jaime don’t have children because it’s not what either of them wanted for their future and it doesn’t fit for them. Selwyn doesn’t put pressure on them because Selwyn knows his daughter and he’s just so goddamn happy she’s happy, the last thing he’s going to do is start guilting her about babies. 

3. Jaime’s retirement present is a puppy. 

4. It’s not that there are 0 shitty repercussions for Jaime and Brienne and the firm when word gets out about their relationship and marriage. People talk. She was his employee and there’s no getting around that. But it’s also not like she’s super well-connected or some super hot 19-year-old intern, so the talk dies down after not too long. By the time Brienne makes partner (in a normal amount of time), no one blinks an eye. 

I am so happy people like that part in I need your sway. When I posted it I was still pretty fresh to interacting with JB fandom and I had NO idea how it was going to be received. I figured being in a fic where it started J/B/C meant people still reading by that point were probably more open to it but I didn’t know how people would respond to Jaime being tied up (it’s not even that kinky as far as it goes, but you can never tell with a new fandom). I should never have doubted y’all. sniff.

I…am not sure I’ve seen that art?? I feel like I must have.

(Hit enter too soon!)

Thank you for asking, lovely!

the hierophant: do you believe in ghosts?

At the risk of exposing myself as a weirdo, I do have to say that I have seen and experienced some things, and been told far more by people I’d trust with more than my life, to not believe in some things, ghosts included. While not in Hollywood sense, for sure, but yes, I do think there are parts of people that sometimes, in some circumstances stay or pass through where people alive reside. I think it’s a deeply personal opinion and no proof in entire world would convince every single person out there and that’s fine. Most of the time, that belief/knowledge doesn’t really matter either way.
