Melee: Brienne/Jaime

[erolyn2]

The melee was down to two, and the knight before him was last person he wanted to face. Of course.He hadn’t even bothered to enter the joust; it was hard enough to wield a sword with his left arm, much less manage a lance. The melee was his only hope for glory, and Jaime Lannister was not about to lose to a woman. Not even her

This is such a great take on the prompt! You always write action so vividly, and I loved being in Jaime's head. I could totally see something like this post-series, Jaime only reluctantly pardoned and struggling to regain some sort of honor but not really succeeding...and in the end the only thing that really matters to him is what one person thinks of him. Love it.

(Also, don't forget to do a tag post!)

Oh wow that was so good! I really loved how this exchange of swords was less about battle and more about saying all that could not be said. I loved how at the end Brienne gives him the one thing he needed most, and the one thing he expected least.

Great job too showing the dynamics of this relationship through their battle. How they know one another so well, even better than they know themselves. How its only in battle that the masks are off and the truth is revealed htrough the clash of swords.

Great job!

Great take on the prompt! I really like how the fighting is really about something else altogether and her letting him win speaks words.
