Thank you SO much! The whole Narcissus thing with Jaime/Cersei practically writes itself, doesn't it? Hee hee. I'm happy that the modern setting and the cocaine worked here ( but OMG as writers, the things we Google, right? "What is a cocaine high like?" LOL). I figured the drug is his substitute for Cersei, and is just as self-destructive. And I definitely had fun using those mirror moments over and over again.

I feel badly for Jaime majoring in communications and public relations and STILL getting all Cs and Ds. Poor guy. ;)

And yes, like definitely recognizes like in this story. I love the thought that they are both trying to fit in and chafing quite a bit, and that it's Jaime who recognizes that Brienne can be SO MUCH MORE; he's only sort of projecting his own desires here. They really could help each other blossom, couldn't they?

Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. I'm glad you liked this one, despite the fact that it's AU. As I said before, I'm usually a purist when it comes to fanfic and don't like to deviate TOO much from canon. But this one had to be written. ;)

Thanks, hon. ♥
