I know it’s been ages since I’ve done this, but… Cracktastic Tales presents… your dose of entertainment! Inspired by the video of the pigeon shop owner.
Jaime finds a baby pigeon while he’s under Aerys and takes care of said pigeon and it proves to be therapeutic. Fast forward, Robert comes along and Jaime has his therapeutic pigeon (you can name the bird). Cersei hates the damn pigeon and wants to get rid of it and Jaime tells her that not, because that’s his bird and he loves it and the pigeon helped him go through some dark times.
The pigeon hates Cersei and vice versa. On the other hand, the pigeon likes Tyrion and vice versa. Jaime to spite Cersei buys a building in Kingslanding and opens up a pigeon owning business and everyone thinks he’s crazy but it turns out it’s a lucrative market especially when they realize they can be used as a messenger birds.
Long story short, Jaime gets to have something nice after Robert’s rebellion and his pigeon friend helps him get better. If other people, use pigeons later as companions that’s another story (e.g., Stannis, Davos, etc.). Additionally, if Browne makes an appearance, that’s yet another story. The End.
I'M SO SORRY I MISSED THIS ASK MONTHS AGO FFFF I APOLOGIZE I HOPE YOU'RE DOING ALL RIGHT DKLJGLJKS <33
also oh my fucking god this is GOLD I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT I WANT JAIME TO HAVE HIS THERAPY PIGEON HE ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY NAMED BAELON THE PIGEON AFTER THE OTHER YOUNGEST NAMED KNIGHT IN WESTEROS I STAND BY IT and gkljsdjkjgkjdlg oh my god jaime with the pigeon terrace is perfect I love this I'm referencing it and jaime selling stannis the pigeon so he feels less alone after he loses proudwing is killing me I'M 100% ABSOLUTELY REFERENCING THIS sorry for taking so long to reply!!! and thank you for the plot it's amazing çvvvvç

Hello dear. May I ask why you're so fond of Brienne ending up as someone's Queensguard/Kingsguard at the end of the series? What about Tarth? Isn't the point of Brienne's story for her to realize she's more than just a bodyguard? And if she's Sansa with a Sword, then why does Sansa deserve to be her own person and have a family and children and a husband but Brienne is reduced to her bodyguard? I'm asking you because I know you love Brienne.
I'm not fond of Brienne ending up as Queensguard or Kingsguard at all, I want her to end up happily in love with Jaime, as Lady of Tarth, fully in charge of her lands and her life after covering herself in eternal glory during the Long Night and the battle for the dawn

What do you think about the fact that some Braimes are nasty to other Braimes?
I block nasty Braimes the same way I block nasty twincests, I don’t discriminate baby. 
Also as someone who’s been the target of some “nasty braimes” for a few months,  they can go fuck themselves and hang out with their fave twincests for all I care. But as anyone can notice, I haven’t been very involved in fandom on tumblr so I don’t keep up with the news or the in-drama fandom here. 
Block them and ignore them, I’d say 😉

so jaime is eleanor and brienne is chidi, right? And at the end jaime has an impassioned speech about how there's only one person who's empathic and good enough to save the world. I'm dead already.
Yeah! Jaime giving a huge speech about how important Brienne is and how she is the only one smart, good and selfless enough to save the world, i

In an ideal timeline where Arthur is alive, will Jaime get the bi awakening by himself, or will he need help?
LAJDFLKAJDF
ANON PLS
I HAVE OLDER QUESTIONS TO GET TO Dx (jk keep them coming if you have more questions, btw OTHER ANONS IN MY INBOX: I PROMISE I’LL ANSWER YOU I JUST NEED TIME TO THINK BEFORE I WRITE)
Even with Arthur alive, I honestly think it would take Jaime an extremely long time to realize he’s bisexual, considering the society they live in, and Jaime’s tendency to be oblivious to his true desires if they’re foreign to him (which is why he has no idea he loves Brienne — it’s new to him and alien to what he’s known before). Arthur, being Dornish, didn’t grow up in a society that was as homophobic and toxically masculine, so it would be easier for him to suspect (or hope) that Jaime is bi. I don’t think he’d do/say something about it, because he wouldn’t want to assume and possibly cause strain on their friendship, but I think he’d consider it before Jaime does.
Sorry to keep bringing up JB, but similarly to how I think Jaime will have to be “shocked / forced” into realizing his feelings for Brienne, he would have to be “shocked / forced” into realizing his feelings for Arthur, and therefore, discover he’s bisexual. 
I also think that, for the longest time, that Jaime would be in denial about his feelings, telling himself that what he feels for Arthur is just hero worship, because he’s a Lannister, and denial is their thing lol. Once he knows he loves Arthur romantically, I think he’d rationalize his bisexuality by being like “well I’m part woman because Cersei and I share a soul, so it makes sense for me to like men in the way a woman does.” That rationalization, obviously, would stem from the toxically masculine society he grew up in, and Jaime isn’t immune to that. And when Arthur finds that out, I think he’d have to educate Jaime on how bisexuality really works. Jaime is so romantic that he’d probably think Arthur is the only man he would ever want, but even still, I think that once he understands how he feels, he’d own it. 
So basically, I think Jaime end up realizing what he feels and being confused about it, but Arthur would help him truly understand it.

It suddenly occurred to me that last night I dreamed Jaime and Brienne were just so caught up in the post-battle adrenaline rush that they ended up doing the deed against a wall with the other survivors in Winterfell just a few steps away. Please send help

you don't have to, but could you expand on what you mean about D&D not being comfortable writing braime?
i mean stop me if you’ve heard it all before (you most certainly have) but
Discussing Jaime and Brienne (on the rare occasions they could bring themselves to do so), D&D tiptoe right around their relationship and the romantic/sexual nature of it. They shrug, wonder vaguely how one might describe Jaime and Brienne, then promptly move onto discussing Cersei again
This is what happens in the text of the show as well. They are fine to play around with Jaime and Brienne and the subtext so long as they could still have a case for calling it platonic, but the moment it tips into romance, they’re tossing it around like a hot potato. Don’t wanna play with that. Let’s just say they were drunk and she was a virgin and the adrenaline after a battle is just so much, isn’t it, and whoops, they fucked, but don’t worry, we are never, ever discussing that again
Okay, I guess we’ll have to reference it at least, so let’s have Jaime and… Tyrion discuss the relationship, as Tyrion mocks Brienne’s physique and Jaime gets uncomfortable and tries to change the subject
What about Brienne? Nah, Brienne doesn’t need dialogue. Why would anyone be interested in Brienne’s thoughts on her first romantic relationship, on falling in love with a man she thought her enemy, on their future, on anything?
What does intimacy between Jaime and Brienne look like? I do not know. D&D, despite writing god knows how many additional scenes of J & C getting all sweet and tender with each other (hey! Just like they never do in the books!), could not stand to touch J & B intimacy with a barge pole. They aren’t even touching after their first time. They do not touch again until Jaime’s pushing Brienne’s hands away as he breaks up with her. Actually, they don’t even say anything to each other in between getting together and breaking up. It’s wild writing. It’s fucking wild
Now, I can’t help but notice that no other significant romance on GOT was treated this way. No other except for… oh, the other one with a gender-nonconforming woman in it, the Gendry and Arya romance. Now, here’s another thing those romances have in common: when I discussed GOT with men, these were the romances they said made them uncomfortable. They just don’t see Brienne and Arya that way. They don’t need a man, they’re fighters. Their stories are about knighthood, or combat, or adventure, not love. Those love scenes were really shoehorned in, right? I mean, who wanted to see that?
Idk. It’s, uh… interesting

when Bronn, Jaime, and Tyrion are talking after Bronn arrives in WF (and doesn’t break Tyrion’s nose), he literally tells them: “I’ve seen the Dragon Queen’s army and her dragons and she’s gonna kick the KL force’s cute lil ass.”
Jaime knows Bronn. Jaime trusts Bronn. Bronn has been serving in the army as long as Jaime has, and he’s done it by Jaime’s side. Jaime knows and trusts that Bronn knows his battle shit. but does he ride off to protect Cers*i when he hears Bronn say she’s in real danger of being defeated? NOPE, he sure doesn’t.
but then the minute... the minute... he hears that one of the dragons has been killed and Euron managed to make a significant dent in Dany’s army, and that Cers*i actually has a shot in hell at winning, he is hauling ass to KL. 

Jaime didn’t leave WF and Brienne to protect Cers*i from Dany’s forces. he left to protect the rest of the world from Cers*i.
but Brienne, doesn’t know any of this. we do, but she does not. if she did, being a knight and skilled military strategist herself, Brienne would understand exactly what he was doing and exactly why he left. in fact, she would probably insist (with Sansa’s leave obvs) on going with him. and that is precisely why Jaime didn’t tell her... Brienne is the physical manifestation and human representation of what Jaime is protecting. he wants to save the rest of the world because Brienne is living in it, and because she showed him a world worth saving.

I know it's been a long time, but do you plan on writing Sandor's pov of the Heart Thing series? I'm poor, so I won't commission the fic, but I wanted to at least know how you think he'd deal with it (ex, would he hide and try to ignore it, would he try to be a better person, whisper almost-kind words to it when Sansa is sad?)
hey anon, first of all thank you so much for the kind words and please no need to commission anything like I'm just glad people still remember it T_T
that said with answers for both your questions:
yes I do plan on writing that but when it happens is... up in the air because meh like I'm trying to not sound whiny about it but if it wasn't clear from my less than stellar production lately my mental health has been completely down the drain lately and as it is rn I'm finding it extremely hard to put words together unless I have an extremely hard deadline and as it is I'm trying to finish a bunch of comms that I started but I'm like really struggling with liking anything that I write so tldr: yes but it could be three months from now and it could be next year, sure af I hope it's sooner rather than later because I really don't relish any of this but eh T_T
how he'd deal with having it: first time it happens (which would be after they get together which like.. he can't actually deny it's A Thing yknow she got his so) he thinks he someone went on a bender and forgot even if he tried to cut down on the drinking and then he's like oh god nope it's really here what the fuck and immediately gives it back to her like IM NOT WORTHY HERE, she's like yeah okay sure but I don't think it's gonna end here (she's fine with it), the second time he gets it is when she's sad for some reason and she's not nearby so he has to take care of it and actually worry about it and he's like god what do I do and just keeps it close and tries to not make anyone notice, then it happens again when something bad happens to her and she's not immediately nearby and as you said he tries to tell it something nice which for his standards would be weird but it actually works because she actually feels better and then she's all smug when she tells him and he's like wait what are you fucking kidding me
and she's like sure I'm not :DDDDDDDD
so pattern he always gets it when she's sad or down or has dealt with crappy people and so on and at some point he just embraces it like yknow what I denied it for ages but it makes no sense that I should now oKAY FINE I'M NOT UNWORTHY OF THAT
sansa is just :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD for the entire next month and robb's like did you just propose her or what NOT THAT I'D SAY NO AND NOT LIKE SHE DOESN'T WANT IT sandor is like maaaybe that's uh for another time MAYBE
he probably springs the maaaybe weee should make it official thing not long later tho
robb is just extremely happy of how he matchmade half of this union XD
ngl there were things I wanted to do in that verse including the throbb fic and sansa meeting brienne like you were my role model too but eh as stated at this point I'll be just glad if I manage to finish my commission backlog and/or literally anything that won't feel like crap after five lines so i can't guarantee it's happening at any point soon, sorry anon T_T

As a Jonsa and Braime shipper, how do you feel about certain Jonsas claiming that Jonsa is the BatB story that GRRM is writing (and so is Jaime/Cersei/) while Jaime/Brienne is the platonic beauty and the beast where Jaime (Beauty) will eventually leave Brienne (beast) for the beautiful beast (Cersei)?
I feel exhausted at the thought of the mental gymnastics I'd have to do to unironically characterize Jonsa as a batb story. Not that I'd ever want to do that (in an au setting, sure? but canon is another thing.) Not every dynamic where you have 2 characters who initially despise each other / don't have the highest opinion of each other and then gradually change their mind and even fall in love is necessarily a beauty & the beast dynamic (or an enemies to lovers dynamic, for that matter, because of course you'll have THAT argument, too, coming from people who will call actual EtL abusive, to which I say: LMAO)
BatB is a very specific story where the Beast is actually some kind of monster either literally or figuratively (or both) and that monstrosity is legitimately repulsive by society's standards and even to the Beauty initially, but they (the Beauty character is usually a she, but not necessarily) learn to look past the Beast's appearance (again either literally or figuratively: look past their monstrous demeanor, the monstrosity of their apparent crimes, etc) and see the softness inside & the nobility of their soul.
And Jon is no monster either literally or figuratively - he's an outcast by society's standards, and not anywhere near the ideal prince in AGOT Sansa's eyes, sure, but also not anywhere near a monster or repulsive either. (neither is Sansa in Jon's eyes.) If you're looking for a repulsive factor in this dynamic (by which I mean: a reason why the characters might want to resist their attraction towards each other, or feel guilty about it), look no further than at the family ties between them, and the fact that they grew up as brother and sister, and that starting to see each other in a romantic light would INEVITABLY come as a shocking and uncomfortable surprise to both for that reason. There's no need to bring up batb to create tension; tension is already there in another archetypal form. It's already an incredibly loaded dynamic; adding a batb layer to it is simply unnecessary and would fit the characters super awkwardly.
There could be faint echoes of batb in J/S in the books (not so much in the show), and it shouldn't be surprising since GRRM loves the archetype so much and if you squint you can see batb in almost every asoiaf dynamic (and you know why? because you can see the Beast in almost every main character. and GRRM loves the tension between purity/jadedness, innocence/guilt, etc), but that doesn't mean it's THE pattern GRRM is shaping their relationship on, much less that Jon/Sansa is THE poster pairing for a BATB adaptation or the "winning" batb story whereas all the other batb-like couples are red herrings and will fail.
re: Jaime/Brienne being "a" batb dynamic, GRRM couldn't have been more obvious about it, as with Sansan. And no, it's not platonic, and it's never been or meant to be interpreted that way (regardless if they actually have sex eventually or not; platonic doesn't mean sexless, and sexless doesn't mean platonic)
as for Jaime eventually going back to sexy beast Cersei in the books and dooming himself to her fate, I'm afraid I can't rule it out - I've discussed it plenty. But just because the actual batb stories have tragic aspects plausibly suggesting a tragic ending, it doesn't mean that a surprise!batb will sneak up on us and emerge victorious with a happy ending, much less that that surprise batb is gonna be jonsa.
imo.

Maybe I cried a little listening to Come To Me by The Goo Goo Dolls and thinking of Jaime and Brienne.
Come to me my sweetest friend
Can you feel my heart again
I'll take you back where you belong
And this will be our favorite song
Come to me with secrets bare
I'll love you more so don't be scared
And when we're old and near the end
We'll go home and start again

@oadara submitted:
Big fan of yours. 
Thanks!
I’m writing a general breakdown of Dany’s fevered dream in AGOT and I wanted to get your thoughts on certain scene, here it is:
Ghosts lined the hallway, dressed in the faded raiment of kings. In their hands were swords of pale fire. They had hair of silver and hair of gold and hair of platinum white, and their eyes were opal and amethyst, tourmaline and jade. “Faster,” they cried, “faster, faster.” She raced, her feet melting the stone wherever they touched. “Faster!” the ghosts cried as one, and she screamed and threw herself forward. A great knife of pain ripped down her back, and she felt her skin tear open and smelled the stench of burning blood and saw the shadow of wings. And Daenerys Targaryen flew.
[…] The door loomed before her, the red door, so close, so close, the hall was a blur around her, the cold receding behind.
Twice in the series we see mentioned swords with pale fire. First in the Prologue of AGOT:
The Other slid forward on silent feet. In its hand was a longsword like none that Will had ever seen. No human metal had gone into the forging of that blade. It was alive with moonlight, translucent, a shard of crystal so thin that it seemed almost to vanish when seen edge-on. There was a faint blue shimmer to the thing, a ghost-light that played around its edges, and somehow Will knew it was sharper than any razor.
Finally, we read about it again in Jaime VI in ASOS:
It was at his feet. Jaime groped under the water until his hand closed upon the hilt. Nothing can hurt me so long as I have a sword. As he raised the sword a finger of pale flame flickered at the point and crept up along the edge, stopping a hand’s breath from the hilt. The fire took on the color of the steel itself so it burned with a silvery-blue light, and the gloom pulled back. Crouching, listening, Jaime moved in a circle, ready for anything that might come out of the darkness. The water flowed into his boots, ankle deep and bitterly cold. Beware the water, he told himself. There may be creatures living in it, hidden deeps…
[...] The steel links parted like silk. “A sword,” Brienne begged, and there it was, scabbard, belt, and all. She buckled it around her thick waist. The light was so dim that Jaime could scarcely see her, though they stood a scant few feet apart. In this light she could almost be a beauty, he thought. In this light she could almost be a knight. Brienne’s sword took flame as well, burning silvery blue. The darkness retreated a little more.
“The flames will burn so long as you live,” he heard Cersei call. “When they die, so must you.”
I was wondering what you would make of this, especially in the case of Jaime and Brienne. We know the ghosts in Dany’s dream are dead and the Other is undead but Jaime and Brienne are very much alive and what I find really curious is that the flames will go out if they die. I get the fire and life connection but it’s the particular nature of this fire that I find interesting. 
Thanks for any help/guidance you can give. 
~~~
“We know the ghosts in Dany’s dream are dead and the Other is undead but Jaime and Brienne are very much alive” 
I think you’ve hit on the reason why I think these are three distinct, unrelated passages. One is a real, if magical, sword, while the others are dream swords. Of the dream swords, some are held by the dead, while others are held by the living. 
The AGOT prologue is the easiest to analyze imo, with the “ghost-light” suggesting something other-worldly (heh. i didn’t intend that), something belong to the mystical realm, the realm of faerie. In the early Middle Ages in the real world, blue “was associated with darkness, evil.” Blue holds connotations of death in ASOIAF (“as blue as the eyes of death” (GOT tried to capture this with the blue eye rocks at funerals) and Lyanna’s blue rose petals in her hands as she lay dying and the blue eyes of the Others) so it’s no surprise to me that GRRM describes the Other’s sword as having a “faint blue shimmer”. 
*~*~*
However, in the late Middle Ages, blue “was associated with light.” (And it seems very like GRRM to simultaneously adopt contradictory color symbolism in his Ice & Fire story.) Blue became the color of the mantle of the Virgin Mary and therefore the color of chastity, loyalty, hope, faith, truth, and strength in heraldry, which I think are all very important for a character named Brienne the Blue, a color befitting a true knight. 
In the dream from ASOS, Jaime and Brienne both hold swords burning with blue light, which I think is supposed to symbolize true knighthood and together they make an island of light, driving back the darkness together, which is a motif I’ve talked about before. But then Jaime is confronted by the shades of his former mentors, who remind him that he has been less than a true knight, and the fire of Jaime’s sword gutters out, and he wakes screaming. 
I think this relates to Jaime’s ultimate choice of identity: “The question is, who are you?” Torn between Kingsguard white and Lannister crimson, between Brienne and Cersei, between true knighthood and false, eventually Jaime must choose. “We all must choose.”
As long as Jaime lives, that choice to be the burning blue flame pushing back the darkness at Brienne’s side is still open to him. But Cersei reminds him, “When they die, so must you.” I don’t think it’s coincidental that it is Cersei who says this. 
I don’t think that strangling your sister to death as her valonqar is an act of true knighthood. As I’ve said often (I’m not linking it, I’m too tired, they’re in my jaime tag), in becoming the valonqar, I think Jaime will become Tywin’s true heir. When Jaime makes this final choice, he extinguishes his last hope to become a true knight, and he dies with Cersei. 
so anyways, yeah, jaime’s blue dream sword = his choices to become a true knight (or not become one, as the sword winks out), and you can only make choices while alive. 
*~*~*
The Dany passage strongly reminds me of imagery GRRM used in Tuf Voyaging to urge someone forward, with the lights going off behind them and everything behind them turning cold and dark as bright colored lights ran off forward. The colored lights eventually led to the spaceship’s bridge / control room, and ... well, all sorts of things happened from there. 
Of course this passage in AGOT is a prophetic dream of Dany becoming a dragon, a “True Targaryen,” like the dreams of a dragon hatching at Whitewalls in The Mystery Knight to symbolize Egg’s destiny. The dream suggests Dany’s transformation into a true Queen will be fraught with pain and hardship, which by book 5 we’ve witnessed firsthand. 
The swords of pale fire here seem like they’re part of these shades of Dany’s dead ancestors, faded as their clothes are faded. (GRRM uses pale / faded imagery to symbolize death, metaphorical or otherwise; consider Tywin’s pale green eyes and their symbolic meaning.) 
I think the pale swords here relate to the idea that “a king protects his people or he is no king at all.” As I’m sure you know, this is a major theme in Dany’s arc, and I think it connects to Dany as the savior of the world. The part with the red door reminds me of GRRM’s “The Stone City” with the protagonist who tries to save his crew members but gets lost in this proto-House of the Undying type place. 
I don’t know how GRRM will pull all this imagery together in the War for the Dawn, but I’m sure it’s relevant. 
And you cut before the best part:
the hall was a blur around her, the cold receding behind. And now the stone was gone and she flew across the Dothraki sea, high and higher, the green rippling beneath, and all that lived and breathed fled in terror from the shadow of her wings. She could smell home, she could see it, there, just beyond that door, green fields and great stone houses and arms to keep her warm, there.
We’ve already had Dany flying across the Dothraki sea in ADWD, and the smell of home is Westeros with its green fields and great holdfasts. “Arms to keep her warm”? Jon/Dany #confirmed in twow?
