Summary
Three hundred years ago, the Great Houses built spaceships, abandoning everyone else to the world's decades-long seasons, never expecting the remaining humans to survive. Those left behind – the earthers, as they came to be called – raced to the edge of extinction and then pulled themselves back, working together with the earth until the seasons settled into the manageable, months-long cycles they should have been all along.
Now, generations out from the ships' departures, the Lost Ones have come back, looking for safe haven. In order to stay, they must first spend a year with an earther family on the planet, before deciding whether to remain or leave again, this time forever. Brienne Tarth and her father are one of many to take in a family of Lost Ones to live with them for the year.
Their assigned family? The Lannisters.

Summary
Jaime Lannister has always believed that soulmarks are open and shut cases.
Ever since his appeared at nine years old, he's let horrors befall it, for a myriad of reasons.But now he's trying to erase the scars (both mental and literal) that his twin sister and lover of 18 years left on him; and to do that he needs to visit Dr Catelyn Stark who can fix the damages caused to his soulmark.
While there, he meets Brienne Tarth; an assistant who's convinced soulmarks are more magic than science; who has stories proving all soulmark cases differ slightly, and shows Jaime that there's a whole world he knows nothing about. But he wants to learn; and really who better to teach him?
Over the course of his treatment, Jaime will find himself dealing with shocks, surprises and feelings for a woman who can't possibly be his soulmate; but he's starting to wonder just how much that really matters.
Warning; this fic does contain several references to self-harm / cutting inflicted by another party.

Summary
Brienne isn't interested in dating anyone. Jaime--a frequent customer turned semi-friend at the gaming shop where Brienne works--isn't interested in dating anyone either. So when Brienne wants to get her matchmaking father off her back for just one year so she can focus on helping run the Tarth Sevenmas Festival, Jaime is, of course, the perfect, perfectly safe choice for her to bring home.
Curious about the title of this fic? I’m joining an effort to call on AO3 to fulfill commitments they have already made to address harassment and racist abuse on the archive. Read more, boost, and get involved here!
