Summary
"You all right?" she asks, not really listening to whatever grunt he makes in acknowledgement. His stubble has got tidied up, his neck shaved so that it all looks like a halfway respectable beard. He's wearing a grey suit with a darker grey button-up she's never seen before, but it doesn't look fresh, exactly. It almost seems like—
"No," she says, suspicion growing along with her grin as she watches him blush. It's a comprehensive one: starts at his neck — more visible now — and goes clear up to his hairline. His very messy hairline, even messier than usual. "Really?"

Summary
Trent Crimm might only recently be an independent journalist, but he's had no one to rely on but himself for far, far longer. And most days, it feels like he's barely keeping it together. So it only seems fitting that the conclusion to the worst period of his life is for the whole thing to go up in literal flames.
Luckily for Trent, help comes from a (not so) unexpected source.

Summary
Miss Brienne Tarth doesn’t mind watching the social whirl of the season from the periphery. She would rather go riding or to the races than attend a ball, and she enjoys Lord Pennytree’s Sporting Weekly far more than any of Sansa Stark’s favored society papers.
But when the Duke of Casterly returns to Westeros, her old friend sees what others do not—forcing Brienne to reckon with him, their past, and the secret she's been keeping from them all.

Summary
The silence after was thick with tension. It was Brienne who finally huffed and walked to the sideboard, filling a tumbler with ice and whiskey.
After a large sip, she sighed. “I believe we have additional matters of breeding to discuss, gentlemen. Best get on with it.”
Jaime was halfway through his own swallow; he choked until it burned.
“Brienne!” Selwyn was red-faced. “That’s no way to start–”
“Come on, Father. We’re all adults here.” She turned to Jaime, and for the first time he noticed her eyes. They were endless blue, the color of sunny, summer skies. He was held in their still certainty. “Mr. Jaime Lannister was caught by the housekeeper in bed with his married cousin, so his reputation is in shambles.” She had the gall to follow that statement with a gentle smile. “And while I might be the least coveted filly in this trade, I can offer him an out.”

Summary
Jaime knows Brienne is still on Tarth where he left her. He knows because he can't not know. If something had happened to her between their last furious goodbye and the present and he hadn't known—
It doesn't bear thinking of that world.
So he makes it his business to know. He listens to rumors in King's Landing and pays a few coins to sailors and servants when he's on the road for what other news they can provide on the Evenstar. Whether she's alive, whether she's well. He never pries into her private life—who she beds these days is no business of his. And while she remains steadfastly unmarried, he doesn’t linger on why that may be. But he needs to know that she's still stomping around, doing good in the world, regardless of the danger or difficulty or the space by her side. A space that is no longer his to claim.

Chemistry of a Car Crash by HildegardtheB
Fandoms: Game of Thrones (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms

Summary
Over a decade ago, Jaime Lannister and Brienne Tarth were actors on the culturally iconic and certifiably cheesy, teen drama "Westerosi" (think of a slightly more obscenity-laced "Degrassi" ). They played Alyce “Dunc” Duncan and Roman Webber -- enemies who become begrudging friends and eventually fall in love.
Their chemistry on the show is off-the-charts, and Jaime and Brienne soon become "Westerosi’s" it-couple. However in real life, the two barely tolerate each other -- and that’s on a good day. Not surprisingly, when their term on the show is up, they part ways expecting never to speak again.
Flash forward to ten years after their final show. Jaime is involved in a horrific car crash. During a night of black despair, he calls Brienne. She is shocked. And suspicious. And doesn’t know what to say. Because they despise each other. They utterly and completely despise each other. Well … don’t they?

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.)
