Summary
There are 5 chapters, 4 are within Season 8, Episode 4, and an Epilogue. I haven't read the books, sorry, but I scoured the wiki. Details mostly from the show, some from the books.
Brienne, to me, would be all muscle and bone, like a female athlete, and Jaime would be beautiful naked, with a nice round butt. Sorry actors, my fantasy, my rules.
I wanted to call this "There, I Fixed It," but my husband is a poop. Then we argued about whether or not any of the behaviors were ACTUALLY out of character ... I thought the writing was juvenile & penile, so I'm giving it a go. I'm trying to stay with what I *think* are the needs and intentions of the show's narrative (bleech).
I added love scenes. Nothing is too precious to share in print, and admit it, most of us GOT fans are voyeurs anyway. The fact that they toned it down was perhaps good for the actor's dignities, but BOR-ING. I'm hoping I do Brienne right - a bit of agency and trust and growth! - and that damn Lannister, too. His hero's journey is among the most fascinating and tragic, perhaps only to be outdone by the Dragon Queen Herself.
As for Brienne, she's too good for all of us.
