“blue is a good color on you, my lady,” jaime observed. “it goes well with your eyes.” she does have astonishing eyes. brienne glanced down at herself, flustered.

chemistry of a car crash by hildegardtheb

(minnie's holy grail: 5/?)

(dust jacket version w the magazine and its regular cover!)

i've been gone w exams for the past 2 weeks, and this fic was my comfort fic during my exams. this fic is one of the best fics i've ever read, and if you are scared by big word counts (195k) like i was, trust me, you will not feel the length.

this fic has everything: angst, hurt/comfort, in depth details on the au itself, people who make fun of the main rs, people who help the main rs get to where they need to go, fluff, pining HFBHBASBGS

and don't you worry, the character development is strong. it is one of the most human fics ive ever read, and you can really feel that forgiveness and growth is a constant choice that you keep making and oh, the lessons you can learn from this fic. my life has changed because of it.

anyway, read it. read it. idc if you have never watched got i dont care if you dont know anything. this fic can be read by anyone ever, its that good. better than half of booktoks most recommended romances. so please read this absolutely lovely delicious and entertaining fic!

i think this will get me tarred and feathered if i don’t word this properly but i do genuinely think that fandoms with canon relationships - gay or straight - as the most popular pairing kind of suck a little. like as a rule. not the media itself, that usually is very good. and especially in the case of actual lgbt rep i would rather that over well written fanfic every day of the week. but. man. something really is lost when you no longer have to have a downward spiral of madness with your friends for 2-4 weeks before you go ‘fuck it they’re in love i’ll do it myself’ and instead you’re all shaking hands going good game good game. a kinder world, truly. but none of you are going to write a 150k word fanfic set in an alternate apocalypse universe that showed up in a single episode out of 200 just to prove your blorbos truly Are in love.

If you’re looking for another site for posting artwork/n*sfw art I can strongly recommend Bluesky! They allow n*sfw art as long as it’s properly tagged and filtered. If you need an invite code I can happily send you my next one when I get it!

I’ve made a bluesky! I haven’t set it up yet though but I’m just holding it off for now bc I’m not sure if you can access pages publicly or you’ll need an account to see someone’s page? or if you’re able to make your page private….

despite their horrible menace swag i dont much care about the lannisters AND thats why i think i wouldnt really like succession either

[visenyaism]

wait. they can’t have a dunk and egg television adaptation that hits the same as the dunk and egg books because in the game of thrones show jaime didn’t even say I DREAMED OF YOU to brienne in the bear pit so when daeron the dreamer says it (ominous) and daemon ii says it (sexual intent) the mainstream audience will not even know that it is an extremely based jaimebrienne callback this whole time. scrap the project

[ilynpilled]

i like jaimecersei because it is psychologically complex i like jaimebrienne because it is thematically rich i like jaimecat because i love hate sex and i like jaimeilyn because i am a fujoshi. i see no difference love is love stop the war

In hindsight it’s really funny that jaimebrienne was subjected to the insane levels of condescension and #platonicwashing and morality about Women Deserve Better that’s usually reserved for people justifying homophobia or racism. And the reason that people hated it so much and said you’re crazy you’re insane they’re just friends and you’re a sick fuck who should be locked up forever if you read anything into that. Was because. She’s tall

After waking up to a reblog of my Christmas/NY greeting post from the awesome @jaimebrienne-art, I realised I very rudely neglected to wish the ever amazing Jaime and Brienne fandom compliments of the season too! 🤦

To followers of this blog and the extended fans who see the art and enjoy it, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! I'm forever grateful for your passion, enthusiasm and creativity, and these commissions wouldn't even exist were it not for the inspiration the incredible creatives in the fandom (and those who passionately promote it) have given me. I'm sure the artists appreciate the support too.

I don't tag the art I post myself as I've never wanted to be too active a participant in promoting the work too widely as this is a mainly private project of mine, but I've always loved @jaimebrienne-art and have followed the blog for years, and as I know the art will be seen by only the gooden's when reblogged on there, that route of promotion suits me just fine. ❤️ So a special shout out to this amazing blog who I would say is mainly responsible for getting these pieces seen by the JxB fandom. ✨😆

Seeing the fans I recognise and have shadow watched for years enjoy the art is so cool, too. You're all fab. 👏

Thank you all! I hope you all have a brilliant 2024.

new hozier music!!

now how do I make this about jaimebrienne

[anthonycrowley]

i think jaimebrienne breaks my brain because they’re like. okay. in hindsight they’re my queerbait ship in spirit. they’re my destiel. they’re the ship i went as it was airing come on by all rights and logic they should be endgame. i’m literally just watching the show no meta no nothing they’re literally just in repressed love for real. and then they weren’t!!!!! but it wasn’t even homophobia!!!!! she was just not conventionally attractive and he was. that was the only difference. i am throwing my hands up in the air. what do you want from me. god forbid people have media literacy i guess.

[effemar]

do you have any asoiaf or jaimebrienne fics you'd reccomend?

You're trying to make my day I see!!! You bet I do!!!

All the fics I'm recommending here are under either the 'ASOIAF' or 'ASOIAF and related fandoms' fandom tag, because I usually dodge show fic (with a few very special exceptions). I do, in fact, read a lot of jaimebrienne, but I have a few here that I really like that are focused on other things. I usually avoid modern AU, though I read it sometimes if the premise intrigues me.

From This Day Until the End of My Days -- JB fic of all time. Funny story: before I ever read or got into ASOIAF, I used to follow swordmaid (I think this is still their url?) here on tumblr because I liked their art, so I saw a lot of JB posting before I was even familiar with the characters. There's a specific line from this fic that they posted because it was so insanity inducing, and I was so shaken by it that I copy pasted it and kept it in my notes app to look at it when I wanted to drive myself crazy. I didn't even read the fic it was from because I knew nothing about the characters, but even then it had such an effect on me that I kept it on my phone at all times. I'm not going to tell you what the line is, because believe me, you will know it when you see it. Anyway. This should be required reading for everyone who enjoys JB even a little. "What does this fic feel like?" uhhhhh not everything feels like something else hope this helps <3

Deliverance -- Heed warnings on this. Melisandre my forever girl... I love when women are trapped in their bodies. I love when women give and give and give and it's not enough. I love when women are damned, condemned by their own minds, their own hearts. I love when women lie and kill and destroy themselves in the pursuit of something and never, ever get it. I love when women are scared. I love when women are scared and then angry and then scared again. I love when women bleed poison. I love when women no longer feel pain. I love when women kill other women. I love when women are red, and terrible, and red. I love when women are eaten alive by god. Melisandre needs to leave Stannis and get with a real man like me I'D burn as many children as she wanted...

The Rancher and the Mail Order Bride -- Modern AUs are over from now on we're putting ASOIAF characters in 1800's fantasy Australia. Jaime and Brienne should NOT have twitter accounts but you know what they should have? Cowboy hats. Jaime's here because he killed a king and then got caught fucking his sister in short order, and promptly got sent to fantasy Australia as a convict. Brienne's here because she responded to an ad seeking a wife and traveled to fantasy Australia in hopes of gaining a home and a living, but the guy didn't want to marry her and now she's stuck here. It's like Little House on the Prairie if Little House on the Prairie was about the importance of accepting help from others and becoming a participant in your own life. Also includes Classic Jaime One-Liner Moment 'didn't you commit incest with your own sister?' / 'okay well obviously it wouldn't be incest if it was someone ELSE'S sister' which I did think was funny I won't lie to you.

be yourself my ally -- I believe in the power of yuri to change the world and I think Sansa and Dany should be in love and play in the snow and hold hands and giggle together and I'm glad the person who wrote this understands my vision. They are so #feminism. I like this fic for a lot of reasons number one being that it's ASOIAF fic and not GOT fic (hard to find in the Daensa tag) and number two is that it gets the appeal of Daensa on a fundamental level... it's about the broken trust, the longing for home, the reclamation of girlhood.... it UNDERSTANDS.... Anyway. I love Sansa's characterization here and I think it's cute that her internal narration spends time lovingly describing all of Dany's outfits. There's a fun unintentional(?) Rhaenicent reference that I thought was sweet and weirdly fitting in context. It's not very clear on the actual events that transpire that make it so the setting can exist, but I like what they do clarify: Sansa killed Petyr confirmed!!!! WHOOPEE!!!!

witness to the arc towards the sun -- If I remember correctly this is technically 5+1 fic so it has separate little interactions. Some explicit some not? I think? Fav is the one where Jaime and Brienne are hanging out in the Eyrie and Jaime tells her about he and Cersei going down to see the lions under Casterly Rock. Scene for insane people. Should lions long for such things... when I tell you it lives in my head rent free... Both of the moments that affected me the most in this fic are Jaime childhood memories actually -- there's another bit later where he remembers going swimming with Cersei and Tyrion that makes me want to set myself on fire. Second fav interaction is probably the one where Brienne defends Jaime's character and he breaks out in sincerity hives. God i know that guy ugly sobs listening to ASMR affirmation videos... you tell Jaime Lannister he's a good person and he starts stress vomiting. Brienne also gets to have a matching honorable death crisis which I enjoyed. They have both a picnic and also an incident of traumatic wound care so it basically runs the full gamut 10/10 highly recommend.

Like Snufkin and Little My (we'll get around wherever) -- This one might be hit or miss -- its a bit niche but I love it so w/e it's going on here. I think part of why I like it so much is because there's a tendency to make modern AU characters have an almost crushing awareness of sociopolitical minutiae when I know in my heart that Ned Stark thinks gay people should keep it to themselves, Sansa posts awareness infographics on her instagram story without reading them, and Robb thought lesbian was a swear word until 15. This fic understands that. This fic knows that Arya deserves to be a nonbinary anarchist who sends people anon hate on tumblr, and Sansa deserves to follow influencer makeup tutorials and put "LGBTQIA+ ally :)" in her bio despite being a lesbian. And they deserve to be siblings who love each other and also kick each other in the shins. I believe this to the bottom of my soul.

And off they went, from here to there -- I don't have anything for this one I genuinely just love seeing people happy. I think Jaime and Brienne deserve to dance and be obnoxious and also not die.

Okay that's it. I have more that I like but they're embarrassing to recommend so I'll stop there. I also left off some HOTD fic I like, bc I was unsure whether you meant pure ASOIAF or if you'd allow derivatives, but know that there is a vast and beautiful wealth of Rhaenicant content in the world that you should read. Peace and love, may your ao3 scrolling be free of obscure kink fic ✌️

besides galladon/maiden and dunk/rohanne who else is part of the jbcu (jaimebrienne cinematic universe)

being a jaimebrienne enjoyer is such a green flag to me
