[ fic ] my fingers laced to crown ; cersei/jaime, game of thrones

Dec 04, 2011 00:51

Written for the prompt "the history books forgot about us..." by midnightblack07, happy holidays!

my fingers laced to crown » game of thrones. cersei/jaime. pg-13. 822 words.
One day, they will be remembered for the things that mattered least. warnings: incest. I own nothing of the show/books/characters/etc.

( He wonders, there in Casterly Rock, at the age of ten, if the reason that Cersei cares so much more about knowing the names of all these people of old is because she wants people to one day remember her name. )

GAAH THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTY!! *___*

I LOVE the way you interpreted this prompt--particualrly with regards to Jaime because we can already see that people's memories seem to momentarily ~forget all the Mad King's misgivings so that they could condemn Jaime.

He will be remembering for slaying kings, not fathering them -

And never for loving a queen.

THIS IS PERFECTION <3__<3

ljlajdsdjs THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY COMMENT ♥

Heh, yeah, it did become rather super Jaime-centric - the white book and the last scene was actually the first part I thought of when I read the prompt - but I'm so so happy you liked and worked for you, there really is SO MUCH that is interesting in all that stuff.

ALL MY JAIME/CERSEI CREYS. Seriously, I've seen this line used as a prompt for a few pairings but they are quite possibly my FAVOURITE to apply it to, for all the sad ways, so yeah, I love you for prompting it :)

and he smiles at her, cups her face in his hands and kisses her mouth, if only for something to do with his own besides waiting for the wrong words to come.

This is a gorgeous, gorgeous line.

Just keep writing twincest forever, 'kay?

I just watched all of GoT this weekend and this is the FIRST fic I'm reading for it - and my goodness, so beautiful! I have not read the books but the fierceness of Jaime and Cersei's love comes through on the show so clearly. You've captured the bitterness that sits beside their devotion; the intensity of their connection which amounts to nothing outside of their tiny universe. WELL DONE.

First off, YAY for getting int GoT, that is always cause for celebration, and then also gosh, I am so flattered, and happy you liked! Thank you! These two really do have such a fascinating relationship, all the ~intensity, exactly. I'm so glad you liked this portrayal of them! Thank you again! :D

You captured Jaime so perfectly. His sorrows, his love, his dreams. <3
