Chivalric Academia by OldShrewsburyian for qqueenofhades

Summary
Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.
[Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

Summary
With a sigh, Jaime lets himself fall onto the bed, stretching himself across it in a manner oddly close to feline. “And here I thought you were just making some excuse to see me again.”
“If it will get you in a room with me—” she says carelessly, and Jaime cuts her off with a laugh.
“You would stoop so low. Is the Family rubbing off on you, Brienne Tarth? We mustn’t let that happen.”

Summary
Jaime is the only one who can see the dragon. The piece of shit dragon that swoops and glides around his life like it has nothing better to do.
That dragon.
He’s gotten good at ignoring it. Because it can’t be a dragon. Whatever it is, it can’t be a dragon.
Anyway, Jaime is the only one who can see the dragon.
Until he isn’t.

Summary
“There doesn’t need to be any—any strings. The sex is—it’s really good, isn’t it?”
She closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. “Yeah. It’s good.”
“Good.” He moves across the bed, and perches himself on the edge of it. “I want to do this again. With you.”
(Or, five times Brienne leaves, and the one time she stays. But with a twist.)

these warm summer evenings where we once and again shall meet by sdwolfpup for brynnmck
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
02 Jun 2020

Summary
This summer, the fourth since they'd parted after college, Jaime's coming for a month, and Brienne's already dreading having to say goodbye at the end of it. But there's no alternative, because they're simply baseball buddies, no matter how many nights Brienne might fall asleep talking to Jaime on the phone about work or how often he texts her random non-baseball thoughts during the day. Regardless of too-long hugs and extended vacation stays.
It's been eight years since they met. She's sure she's missed her chance to try to make it anything more, so she's going to be happy with the time she gets. Just as soon as she stops dreaming about him.

Summary
A few weeks ago, all Brienne Tarth really had to worry about was not going broke in her last year of graduate school and Professor Lannister’s inconvenient research trip to Lannisport. She didn’t anticipate having to care for the recently injured and infamous Jaime Lannister, much less being pulled into a one-hundred year old conspiracy.

Summary
She is supposed to call him Jaime, Jaime Lannister. Her name, her new name that is now also the name she was born with, is Brienne Lannister, née Tarth. Soon enough, they said, her backstory would become her memories. His children would become hers, too. And they will infiltrate enemy territory in the most daring way possible—as a perfectly ordinary family.
An AU inspired by The Americans—in which Jaime and Brienne are spies working undercover as a married couple, with two children, for as many years as their country requires.

Summary
Brienne Tarth suddenly finds herself with custody of her very young cousin, Podrick. As if things aren't overwhelming enough already, Podrick's preschool teacher, Jaime Lannister, is an excruciatingly handsome and kind man that Brienne really does not have time for. Unfortunately for her, you don't get to choose when That Someone comes into your life.
--
Pod adored Mr. Jaime. He talked about little else in the following weeks. Mr. Jaime did this, Mr. Jaime did that. Mr. Jaime was so funny. Mr. Jaime read the best stories. Brienne was a little sick of hearing about Mr. Jaime. It was bad enough that she couldn’t seem to control the flow of blood to her face (and, if she’s honest, to other parts of her body) every time she dropped off or picked up Pod. That she survived to the first parent-teacher conference without humiliating herself was a damned miracle.
Still, she was unprepared to walk into the classroom and find Jaime bent over a sheet of notes, his hair falling over his forehead, and -- gods, a pair of glasses perched on his nose. Truly, the gods were cruel masters.

Summary
Some nights they’d climb right in, exhausted by the day.
Most nights they’d sit by the fire first, drink a little.
Every night, she’d pull the furs up to her shoulders, letting the two overlap a little, falling between them, before turning away from him.
