Summary
The recipe is in her purse. It’s the reason she's here after all. But he's nervous and she can see right through his flimsy excuse and she wants to tell him it’s okay. She’s here. She wants to be here. Here with him, alone on a Saturday night. She wants to tell him that he can tell her anything. Anything he might want to say to her tonight. Anything at all. Anything.

An Uncertain Future by elasticheartdowntown

Summary
The Long Night is won and Jaime is granted sanctuary in Winterfell under Brienne's protection. Their long held love for one another is solidified and now Brienne owns Jaime's heart and loyalty completely. Yet external circumstances complicate matters. Cersei is still a danger to all and Jaime's true allegiance is disputed by the key players on Brienne's side. Neither of them can ignore who they truly are and the parts they both have to play in the battle to come. They must say goodbye once more, but for what they hope is the very last time.

This is a post mid 804 fix it fic. I'm still in 1000% denial about how they ended the show. I haven't watched the final two episodes and I never will, thanks. Despite the let down, my love for these characters and their story still holds true. This fic is inspired by the leaked pic of Jaime riding away from Brienne in the Winterfell courtyard. I naively thought before watching the episode that his leaving was a mutual decision between them (oh, how wrong I was...) so this is based on that optimistic assumption.
I hope whoever reads this enjoys it. :)

Summary
Her dark blue eyes slide over and lock with his. “You saved my life last night.”
He blinks at her. “You saved mine.”
She seems somewhat frustrated by his reply, and turns to face him more directly. He gazes slightly up into her eyes. “You put yourself in danger for me.”
“You did the same.”
“I would not be standing here were it not for your sword.”
“My lady, the exact same can be said for me - “
“Ser Jaime, I am trying to say thank you, will you please stop making it more difficult?” She grits out.

Summary
Jaime follows through on a promise made. The follow-up to my fic no sweeter innocence (than our gentle sin).
--
"Do you want me?"
She looks at him, startled, her heart leaping into her throat, her pulse beating harshly in her ears.
"Yes," she says, finally, determinedly.
The grin that spreads across his face holds nothing back, he's all teeth and dimples, eyes flashing with a happiness so pure she wouldn't have thought him capable of it.

Summary
The Army of the Dead is upon them. One last night of peace at Winterfell before the entire world as they know it comes crumbling down. Jaime has some things to take care, namely, one Brienne of Tarth and what remains unspoken between them.
--
“And I had hoped,” he echoes her words, “that it might be something more than.” He looks from their hands to her face, watching her battle back the hope that threatens her. A hope she hasn’t allowed herself in years, if ever. “Tell me if I’m wrong,” he says, closing the distance between them.
“I don’t understand,” she says, haltingly.
“Yes,” he says, stepping into her body fully. “I believe you do.”

ink on a pin, underneath the skin by janie_tangerine

Summary
Brienne seems to think about it for a moment, then she gets rid of her leather jacket, again, and while this time she’s wearing a regular blue t-shirt, he can properly see how exactly her arms are covered in ink, differently from last time.
Holy shit. He can barely see skin at this point, or better, he can, but it’s not smooth or uncovered for more than a few inches.
“Let’s say,” she sighs, “that I got one every time I felt in your specific situation.”
Or: in which Jaime really needs a tattoo removed and Brienne owns a parlor.

Jaime didn’t really expect things to go well when he rode north, but after all, they hadn’t been going well otherwise, so it wasn’t that much of a change.
