#better get that sucking face wound fixed up Brienne

[sapphiresandsunlight]

Jaime is Big Sad about not being married to Brienne and it hurts my heart. How many times are his fantasies obliquely mentioned?

*Unbidden, his thoughts went to Brienne of Tarth. [...] Other men might be fathers, sons, husbands, but never Jaime Lannister, whose sword was as golden as his hair. He was a warrior, and that was all he would ever be.

*That took him by surprise. Brienne had never mentioned a betrothal. "Her father made a match for her . . ." [...] For any such, the Maid of Tarth would have been a sweet plum indeed. "How is it that you did not wed?" Jaime asked him.

*“[Y]ou are a lion of the Rock, a lord. You have a wife, a castle, lands to defend, people to protect. If the gods are good, you will have sons of your blood to follow you. Why would you throw all that away for . . . for some vow?"

*"Do you have a little wife, ser?" No, I have a sister. [...]

“And what is it you like in a woman, m'lord?"

"Innocence."

Not to mention his very firm opinions on how to treat a bride on her wedding night, which of course is what would be expected given his position as... [checks notes] the official leader of a celibate order of knights.

*His cousin squirmed uncomfortably in the saddle. "I know enough to do my duty as a husband, ser."

"That's just the thing a bride wants on her wedding night," said Jaime. "A husband who knows how to do his duty."

*“If you bed her, though, be kind to her."

"Kind, my lord? How . . . how would I . . . ?"

"Sweet words. Gentle touches. You don't want to wed her, but so long as you're abed treat her as you would your bride."

This is not meant in any way to contradict the fact that Jaime is a horny monster dying for some strange, btw, just to remark upon the fact that he also has a boner in his heart.

how much does Jaime need to get laid in affc?

Sleeping with the Mother and the Maiden, when he has a warm wife just through that door? Jaime did not know whether to laugh or weep.
