Comment fic meme #2
After the first round of got_exchange we had a surprisingly successful comment fic meme going for a while (here's a list of all the fics that were written last time), so I thought it might be fun to do this again. (Like last time, it's posted on the mod account journal because I don't want to enable anonymous comments on the exchange community.)

When her brother left for Crakehall, when she pulled him into the stables to bid him a proper farewell before their father came down to see him off, they’d been of a height, both with long curls and soft cheeks and bodies made up of straight lines and flat planes.
But now he stands a hand-span taller than she, all long legs and broadening shoulders and wiry muscles. After they steal away into the quiet room in the rear tower and bolt the door, he grips her tight- his hands are big, big and rough- and all but pushes her onto the bed ( ... )

This is fascinating, because it's a question of mine about who drives their youthful indiscretions. Cersei seems to control the relationship in general, but as you rightly point out, Jaime is the impulsive one, the one most likely to leap, to make terrible decisions, when he's carried away by the idea of them, while she knows exactly what is at stake. You have me convinced here that this could be just how it happened.
I like the moment when she's worried he'll have hair on his chest. Something that would make him different from her. The ultimate turn off for Cersei.
Lovely work, my dear.

When I first read the prompt, my immediate reaction was "Oh, of COURSE Cersei would have initiated this." But then I thought about it... We do learn in canon that Jaime's the dominant one in bed, even though Cersei dominates him everywhere else. And you're right- he's much more reckless and less likely to see the big picture.
So psyched to see you in this exchange- I can't wait to read some wonderful stories from you!

Can be gen or slash, I'd just really like something about Stannis seeing some of himself in Jon.

Just give me any situation (sexual or not) in which Stannis asks either Davos or Jon to call him by his name.

Ned knows how silly it is, especially when she is cradling their son against her chest, smiling and singing to Robb with a lightness which Winterfell has not known in so long. But every time he sees Catelyn, every time she turns her face up for a kiss or he reaches for her, Ned cannot help but think of his big brother, of the man whose place he was forced to take in every measure. Sometimes he even imagines he is going to wake up and find it has all been a dream, that Brandon has wed Catelyn, that Lyanna wed Robert, that Benjen is still racing through the wolfswood instead of serving on the Wall.
Ned likes Catelyn Tully - my wife, he reminds himself - but she still doesn't feel like hisHer stomach is so big, she cannot see her feet, and Ned finds himself watching her now more than ever ( ... )

I really love it, love it all. I love at the beginning how Ned is thinking that he'll wake up and everything will be the way it was meant to be (and I think it's interesting that Ned didn't have any vision of how HIS life was supposed to be, and think it's very true to his character), and how he still thinks of her as Catelyn Tully and has to remind himself that she's his wife.
I also love how pregnancy agrees with Catelyn (again seems very true to her!). but Catelyn seems to bloom with this pregnancy, with this spring child growing inside her - beautiful!
And then I love the first impulsive words of their marriage, a shift into something more natural, and I love that he's STILL thinking of Brandon but learning to push that voice away. Also I love the reference to Ned loving her hair because that always gives me all the feelings.
This is just so sweet and wonderful, I feel like I drank a cup of delicious hot chocolate. :) Wonderful job!!
