NB: More fic by this author can be found here and is recommended in the current (i.e. 'Game of Thrones') pages. - something good and right and real, by sameboots. Rated G (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
(Author's summary) Brienne Tarth suddenly finds herself with custody of her very young cousin, Podrick. As if things aren't overwhelming enough already, Podrick's preschool teacher, Jaime Lannister, is an excruciatingly handsome and kind man that Brienne really does not have time for. Unfortunately for her, you don't get to choose when That Someone comes into your life.
Pod adored Mr. Jaime. He talked about little else in the following weeks. Mr. Jaime did this, Mr. Jaime did that. Mr. Jaime was so funny. Mr. Jaime read the best stories. Brienne was a little sick of hearing about Mr. Jaime. It was bad enough that she couldn’t seem to control the flow of blood to her face (and, if she’s honest, to other parts of her body) every time she dropped off or picked up Pod. That she survived to the first parent-teacher conference without humiliating herself was a damned miracle. Still, she was unprepared to walk into the classroom and find Jaime bent over a sheet of notes, his hair falling over his forehead, and -- gods, a pair of glasses perched on his nose. Truly, the gods were cruel masters.

NB: Please note that this fic is a modern AU. - Taffy Stuck and Tongue Tied, by angelowl. Rated NC-17 (Jaime/Brienne). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: Margaery said Jaime was a selfish prick who needed to learn to share. Sansa, ever the romantic, insisted he was secretly in love with Brienne, not his longtime girlfriend Cersei, and that it was obvious. “If that were true, he’d have made a move long before now,” Brienne countered. “Jaime’s an open book. He’d shout it from the rooftops.”
“He probably doesn’t want to risk losing your friendship.” Sansa’s eyes shone with conviction.
Brienne scoffed, but in the days that followed doubts trickled in and something even more insidious - hope.
Bea's note: Please be aware that Jaime is a piece of work in this one...

Author's summary: An AU inspired by Beauty and the Beast, where Jaime is the crippled and bitter Lord of Casterly Rock, wallowing in his own misery, until a stubborn and homely girl from Tarth shows up, demanding he release her captive father. When Brienne agrees to be a hostage of the Rock to ensure Selwyn's loyalty, she changes Jaime's life in ways he never could have imagined.

(Author's summary) A prompt fill for Writer's Month 2019, day eleven: whump.
Jaime looked down at Tyrion’s crumpled, crying figure. When they’d been little and Cersei or Father had been cruel to Tyrion, there was no pride preventing Jaime from scooping his little brother up, cradling him to his chest. A little later, Tyrion learned to hide his tears with wit, and he no longer accepted Jaime’s offers for embrace. And now, Jaime had no body with which he could hold Tyrion. In fact, that was precisely the problem here: Jaime was dead, and Tyrion was mourning his body.

NB: PLEASE NOTE also that in order to read this fic you need to register at AO3 (free!). - They Make You Swear and Swear, by angelowl. Rated NC-17 (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: It was with great sorrow Brienne accepted that she had not upheld her vows. She had done her best, but it hadn’t been enough. She had failed. Again. Just as she’d failed Jaime and Lady Catelyn and Renly before that. She heard Podrick desperately yelling for her release in her final moments and she cursed the fates for making him witness her execution.
Brienne closed her eyes and prayed one last time, not for forgiveness, but for justice. For the faintest hope that a worthier champion would come along and do what she couldn’t, set things right. The axe came down and she woke with a jolt.
Note: Contains interesting speculation for the end of the series and post-series.
NB: More fic by this author can be found here and is recommended in the current (i.e. 'Game of Thrones') pages. - This Is Why We Fight, by lashieldmaiden. Rated NC-17 (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
From author's summary: “You’re sure.” Lady Sansa’s voice was quiet, and even. Whatever her inner thoughts were, she kept them well hidden beneath her pale eyes.
“Not sure, no.” Ser Brienne of Tarth stood in front of her, ramrod straight.
The Battle for King's Landing looms before the forces of the North and of Essos. Brienne of Tarth has never been one to step back from a fight. Even if she's fighting for two.
Epilogue: Tarth.
NB: More fic by this author can be found here. - Tides (The), by slipsthrufingers. Rated R (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
(Author's summary) Jaime Lannister, recently missing a hand, a white cloak and his purpose in life, is sent to Tarth to decide whether the Lannisters will loan them the gold they so desperately need to thwart a disaster.

NB: Bea's only quibble with this one was that the ending felt (IMO) a tiny bit abrupt. - Time of my life (The), by djelibeybi. Rated R (Jaime/Brienne). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: When Brienne arrives in King's Landing for the first time, she expects two tedious months of uncomfortable gowns, embroidering with the queen, and her father's failed attempts at matchmaking. She does not expect the Kingslayer secretly teaching her to joust, under cover of darkness, so that she can compete as him in the king's nameday tourney. And she definitely does not expect to fall in love with him.
NB: More fic by this author can be found here. - Tissue Paper Wings, by angelowl. PG/PG-13 (Jaime/Brienne). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: Olenna had called her last night and told her the big news. They were casting for the pilot of a police procedural drama series, Keeper. She'd given Brienne a brief overview of the part and sent her a sample of the script.
Helen Oath was a cop with a heart of gold. Naïve yet hardworking, she'd been top of her class at the academy and one of the youngest women to ever make homicide detective. She was eager to learn from her new, more experienced partner, Sergeant Arthur Keeper. Unfortunately, she'd die at the end of the first episode to reawaken the jaded cop's zest for justice and remind him of his duty to serve his city and defend the innocent.

NB: PLEASE NOTE also that in order to read this fic you need to register at AO3 (free!). - To be in your arms again, by sdwolfpup. Rated R (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
(Edited author's summary) Jaime Lannister is rescued from the rubble, but whether Brienne will ever forgive him is another question.
For days, Jaime remembered only pain and Brienne. When he woke he would cry out and they fed him broth and medicine, and then he would sleep and he would dream of Brienne. Of fighting on the bridge, of walking through green fields, of blades wielded for each other. He hated to wake, not just because waking meant agony, but because it meant he wasn't with her.
NB: More fic by this author can be found here and is recommended in the current (i.e. 'Game of Thrones') pages. - Traveling Far, by astolat. Rated NC-17 (Jaime Lannister/Brienne of Tarth). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”

NB: After reading this series, Bea highly recommends reading the related fic/sequel written by Samirant, 'dance with me and shake your bones' (NC-17). - Two Swords, by aelangreenleaf. PG/PG-13 (Jaime/Brienne). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: She’s always known that her mother has two swords. She asks the castellan one afternoon why knights have more than one sword. He tells her that not all knights carry two swords - he says it’s personal choice, one to be weighed between the advantages of having a second sword as backup should the first be taken from you, and the risk that someone might steal the second sword and use it against you. “Why do you ask, my lady?” he asks, raising an eyebrow. “Mother has two swords, Ser,” she says softly, “the one she wears on her hip, and the one she keeps in her room.” His face clouds then, but he quickly recovers. “Ah, my lady, that is something different."
NB: More fic by this author can be found here and is recommended in our 'Game of Thrones' pages. - Undone and the Divine (The), by mardia. NC-17 (Jaime Lannister/Robb Stark m/m slash). Recommended by Bea.
Author's summary: If the gods were going to take him away from Cersei and everything he’d known, bind him to a boy half his age, Jaime almost would have preferred it if Robb Stark had been a fool, had been as dull and self-righteous as his father. Seven hells, he could at least have been ugly.

There, she meets Jaime, a maimed former Major League pitcher who’s been talked into managing one of his father’s teams. She can't stand her arrogant coach, and he is definitely not interested in his annoyingly principled star player. They don't like each other at all, really...until they do. Loosely inspired by "A League of Their Own," with slightly less baseball and lots more love story.

- Gargoyle saga , by Christi Smith Hayden. G to NC-17. (Lots of couples and original characters.) Recommended by Angela.
Gargoyles was a cartoon that aired, jeez, a good 10+ years ago. Even if you've never seen the show you'll love this. Basically, a super rich guy named Xanatos bought a Scottish castle and moved it block by block to New York and reassembled it atop his high rise office building. This included gargoyle statues that were under a curse for a thousand years. They are now awake and dealing with the 20th century. This series starts with Daddy's Girl and ends with Home for the Holidays (story 19). I love this series -there's romance, heartache and Texan cuisine :) You'll be hooked before the end of the first story.
- for the ones left behind, by all apologies. Rated G. Recommended by Bea.
