   Summary

   Canon mostly through S8E4. After Bronn shows up at Winterfell, Jaime knows that he must leave to kill Cersei. It's the only way to keep Brienne safe and atone for his sins. Assuming Brienne will be safest at Winterfell, Jaime sets out on his mission. Dark thoughts swirl in Sansa's mind and prove Jaime's assumption horribly wrong. Now Jaime has to find a way to bring Brienne back to life and to him.
