WIP Wishlist Mid-year 2022 Updates

WIP Wishlist

All the fic updated after the end of 2021 WIP Wishlist Update

almost a beauty, almost a knight by ifancymyselfawriter

From round four, last updated 01 May 2022

Things I love: Tommen, Tommen and Jaime, Tommen and Brienne; begrudging respect between Brienne and Cersei even among everything else between them; the intrigue of dragons fighting dragons and lions and suns and Evenstars caught between them; the Rock, which is unusual for me; twisting, manipulative, dangerous relationships of all sorts.

The Blue Knight vs. The Kingslayer by SeeThemFlying

From round eight, last updated 02 March 2022

Things I love: Brienne and Pod’s friendship and teamwork, the sheer silliness and threat of the Kingslayer, Imp, and Evil Queen, the Honor League, the sweetness and softness between Brienne and Jaime while their alteregos wage war on each other, how over-the-top and joyful and perfect this is as a comic book story.

Break the Shape We Take by ClasseySpanks

From round eight, last updated 12 April 2022

Things I love: Intriguing worldbuilding, particularly around the Evenstar prophecy, Jaime needling at Brienne because he loves to see her eyes and her blush and to argue with her, something dangerous lurking in the trees and impaling deer on branches, Brienne brave and fearless when she’s doing what she’s been born to do and awkward and withdrawn otherwise, Jaime and Brienne teaming up.

The Broken Jaw of Our Lost Kingdoms by Vera ( Vera_DragonMuse)

From round eight, now complete

Things I love: Interesting, engaging worldbuilding, how Sansa and Brienne work together, Brienne and Pod’s friendship across lines, shapeshifting, the sharp-edged history between Brienne and Jaime.

everything you see (is all for your taking) by EllisJay

From round nine, last updated 09 April 2022

Things I love: Brienne confident, experienced, and gentle with the people who need her to be gentle, Brienne’s amazing students and how she interacts with them, Oberyn’s work with Brienne and his flirtations, the double entendres, Brienne’s masturbation lesson blowing Jaime’s mind when he puts it into practice, flirtation on top of flirtation.

It’s All Coming Back to Me Now by CatelynTsukino

From round four, now complete

Things I love: Brienne and Aerys; how different it is for Jaime to interact with Ned (and others, but particularly Ned) when he’s not Kingsguard; Brienne’s friendship with women (I’d name them, but I don’t want to get too spoilery on who lives, who dies, and why they become friends); the pain Brienne and Jaime each carry; what Westeros looks like when Robert’s Rebellion is a very different thing.

it’s not much (but my money’s on you) by jellyb34n @nossbean

From round six, last updated 6 May 2022

Things I love: Behind the scenes for politics, the friendships, particularly Jaime, Elia, and Rhaenys, Brienne’s characterisation and voice, Jaime’s sharp humour and intelligence set against his soft heart (he is made for love), the incredible sexual and romantic tension between Jaime and Brienne, Lyanna Mormont in all her glory, Missandei’s intelligence and wit and competence, Pia’s role – everything, pretty much everything.

The Kingsguard by LadyRhiyana

From round nine, last updated 22 May 2022

Things I love: Modern AUs with Brienne as a princess, why Selwyn joins the rebels, Jaime the undercover Kingsguard, the way they annoy each other to no end, Brienne’s friendships, the way they protect each other, the history of Evenfall Hall, Lannister sibling dynamics, and spring break shenanigans.

No One Mourns the Wicked by boywholivednotdied

From round one, last updated 20 April 2022

Things I love: Jaime’s time in Riverrun with Brienne, Brienne’s friendship with Catelyn, the complicated political mess in King’s’ Landing, Brienne’s fierceness and loyalty and love.

An Old Lion Amongst Young Wolves by Angelic_Temptress

From round three, last updated 11 May 2022

Things I love: Arya and Sansa friendship; Sansa’s clever playing of the game; complicated, difficult incursions of the dead more than just one hard-to-see long night; dialog that is smart, and witty, and sarcastic; more practical ways to go to war.

The price of being a wolf by tall_wolf_of_tarth @tall-wolf-of-tarth

From round one, now complete

Things I love: Brienne the werewolf, Jaime’s annoyance with his community service, the pull between wolf and human, the fairy tale feel of the writing.

Summerhall by greenmtwoman @greenmtwoman

From round ten

Original WIP has been orphaned

New version is complete

Things I love: Brienne stubborn and set on seeing Summerhall, the smoke lingering on this burned and broken place, the sweetness and teasing between Jaime and Brienne, the mystery.

The Tourney Knight by trulily @trulilyy

From round two, last updated 22 June 2022

Things I love: Intrigue, jousting, Dunk and Egg inspiration, Brienne being amazing and smart, Brienne and Jaime teaming up.

We Built it Slowly, Stone by Accidental Stone by Durincorporated

From round three, last updated 21 March 2022

Things I love: Sansa and Daenerys finding common ground, trust, and friendship; Arya and Daenerys doing the same; Arya and Jaime arguing their way through conversations about honour and love and survival; Sandor protecting the shit out of the Stark girls; some people being alive who weren’t otherwise alive as of the start of season 8; more practical ways to go to war.

WIP Wishlist Round Two

Oh, for the days when I didn’t read WIPs and did not know the longing, and regret, and joy of waiting for updates. As always, I am behind on commenting, but I like to mark these things publicly and if I wait to catch up, it will be years. (All my travel has to be via road trip this past year, which leaves me with time to read but not good access to comment. I’m working on catching up.)

Round One

ASOIAF/Game of Thrones

The Tourney Knight by trulily @trulilyy (14,000 words, last updated November 2020) Summary: An AU in which Brienne sets off for King's Landing to compete in King Renly Baratheon's tourney.Along the way to the capital, she discovers an ensnared Jaime Lannister. She decides to help him, and in so doing, she wins a crucial ally she did not realize she would soon so desperately need.

Intrigue! Jousting! Inspired by the adventures of Dunk & Egg! I love my girl. 

Those Who Favor Fire by LSquared80 (25,000 words, last updated August 2020) Summary: Brienne accompanies Sansa to Castle Black to reunite the girl with her brother, fearful that her own fraught history with the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch - Jaime Lannister - will not bode well for them.

I am deeply intrigued by the idea that Jaime ended up at the Night’s Watch after killing Aerys and being refused a marriage with Brienne and eager to see more of this.

Valonqar by H3L (168,000 words, last updated July 2019 WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF) Summary: The Lannister's lives are interrupted when Joanna Lannister dies in the birthing bed. Her favorite cousin, Lord Selwyn Tarth, comes to Casterly Rock not long after her death and brings with him his son, Galladon, and his daughter, Brienne. Years later Jaime, in chains, must face a very different Brienne than he remembers.

Brienne and Jaime’s friendship when they are little left me besotted, and then their dynamic when they’re adults is entertaining as hell. I love how the plot twists and turns from the source material, and there’s a Cersei reveal which did not surprise me but was an emotional punch even seeing it coming. 

The Keeper by PalyGirl (450,000 words, last updated March 2021) Summary: All Brienne ever wanted was to be a respected knight and serve a just king. The Gods, however, have a different plan for the Lady of Tarth. She must bring together their warriors, weapons and wisdom to defeat the Night King and Army of the Dead. The sworn sword will become the most powerful instrument in the Game of Thrones.

I am torn on this one. I think the plot is intriguing, and I’m invested enough I’ll keep reading (as it stands), but the longer this goes on, the more each chapter quotes previous chapters in full, which I find obnoxious and a waste of reader’s time. I’d rather they trusted the reader to either get the references to earlier parts or to be able to read on even if they miss things. This has some things I love (Brienne and dragons, women being friends and supporting each other, Young Griff is occasionally wonderful) and intriguing character dynamics, but it also leans hard into Brienne believing in the gods and clinging to being a chosen one in ways that don’t always come across as believable to me.

(Note for J/B readers, while the fic is tagged with it, the fic is also tagged “romantic relationships are mentioned by not explored” and so far it’s come across far more Brienne/Young Griff than anything else. And I’m here for that, too, I had no idea how much I’d enjoy them, but at this point, 450,000 words in, I’m also getting tired of the lack of resolution of anything.)

After having talked about it, I think I’d best hold off on reading more until it’s complete and then go through it again with a fresh eye.

Three years, no more by Zeta__Mei @zetaaa (60,000 words, last updated April 2021) Summary: "Nobody had warned Brienne that the Kingslayer was like that. God-like. Nobody had warned her that she had to wed him."

We are SO CLOSE to the ending on this one, 12 chapters posted out of 15, and it has only been a WIP since January 2021, but every time I think about it, I feel like I’m dying for the next chapter. ZM’s writing has this feel to it that I’ve tried and failed to describe before, but I always find it compelling, and their plots are full of interesting twists and turns. (Not-so-secret Targaryens of my favourite sort and the world’s prettiest dragon egg included.)

Taking the Silver by nurdles @nurdles (160,000 words, last updated June 2016 REALLY, I KNOW, I’M PUNISHING MYSELF AT THIS POINT, WHAT THE HELL, ELLIE) Summary: Jamie is sentenced by Queen Daenerys to "Take the Silver" for killing the mad king. Taking the Silver means fighting the Others in the North with Dany's army, something he and Brienne were already doing before he was arrested. But now that he and Brienne are stuck in KIng's Landing for a while, maybe the time has come to let her know how he feels. Between Cersei also being readied to go North and fight, Tyrion with his inappropriate humor and Queen Daenerys' demands and truly terrible decorating choices, will things ever go smoothly for them? Humor, romance, adventure and danger ensue. Plus, everything is better with dragons!

That summary’s not wrong about the humour! I finished this over the weekend while on a long road trip and I laughed out loud often enough I had to explain a whole bunch of things to the driver. It is very irreverent and wonderful to read. I would hate myself for reading something that hasn’t been updated in so long, but I had way too much fun reading it to regret it.

Beauty and the Viper by Rav3nB1ack @drrav3nb (674 words, first chapter posted March 2021) Summary: “Cersei told me that she was keeping a beast down here,” Oberyn said. Brienne hung her head. Beast. She thought she’d hardened herself against the word but hearing it again brought back memories she’d rather forget.  “The way she was bragging, I thought she had captured a wight, a giant or better yet a huge dragon!” he continued. Oberyn regarded her once more. “But you’re no beast.”

I saw the gifset before I saw the fic, I was already interested in Oberyn/Brienne after the gifs from that one interview about who on the show would try to beat her in a fight in order to marry her, and now I am excited to see where this version of that goes.

Constant as the Northern Star by PrettyThief @pretty--thief (60,000 words, last updated April 2021)  Summary: Brienne Tarth does not feel ready to command an entire space station. To make matters worse, the Alliance has assigned to her the most infuriating defense officer she could have (but definitely did not) asked for. The pair of them and the rest of their misfit crew swiftly find themselves mixed up in the reigniting embers of rebellion on the planet Winterfell below. Suddenly the fate of an entire planet, if not the entire galaxy, is up to Brienne and Jaime.

I am a sucker for AUs set in space and though I’m holding off on starting this until it reaches closer to the end (15 posted out of 25 so far) (I’m tempted to start reading right now, so we’ll see how long I last without doing so), but I trust PT as an author, and I know this will be great.

None but the Lonely Heart by OccasionalAvenger was going to go here, BUT IT HAS BEEN COMPLETED! (It appears I am not getting my AO3 notifications, great news.)

Knives Out

Straddle the Line, In Discord and Rhyme by mardia (31,000 words, last updated January 2021) Summary: It’s not until Marta picks up the medical bag that she notices that something is wrong. She can hear Harlan still singing upstairs in the attic, just like she can hear everyone downstairs getting ready for bed, just like she can smell Walt’s cigarettes, the incense Joni is burning in her room, a thousand different things her senses are picking up that Marta has learned to ignore, learned to put to one side. But this--this Marta can’t ignore. Because it’s Ransom’s scent lingering in the room, Ransom’s Tom Ford cologne lingering in a room he has no reason to be in, and as Marta lifts the bag to her nose and takes a careful sniff of the handles--it’s Ransom’s scent, human sweat and pheromones and man-made perfume lingering on a medical bag he has no reason to be touching in the first place. 

Marta is one of my favourite characters ever, and she’s great in this, smart and strong, funny and dry, and the werewolf worldbuilding is perfection.

Masarap lang sa Paningin....

Masarap lang sa Paningin….

Ang 1st century Roman gourmand na si Apicius ang nag-coined ng phrase na “we eat first with our eyes”. And trulili naman talaga, di ba kapag nakakita tayo nang food tapos ang sarap ng itsura (ganda ng food presentation, oozing with sauce, looking so crispy, etcetera) we can’t help but feel excited kasi dahil sa nakita natin nagkaroon na tayo nang expectation na masarap ang food. Pero minsan…
