Warmth
It's really cold where I am, so I am re-reading and collecting stories that make me feel warm. This is not a tangiable theme, just ~vibes, so it might not feel the same for everyone! But all of them are nice and with a happy ending!
This is Halloween by captainellie
Halloween definition: Surprisingly, how two roommates plus two kids become a family.
Marry Me, Because I Want to Date You by elizadunc (Ladybugbear2)
Jaime's been proposing to Brienne since college. Brienne has been taking it as a joke since college.
It started with a dare by WauryD
It’s easy to make someone angry. It’s harder to deal with the fallout of making them smile.
A weird dream makes Brienne question things.
The Shooting Party by sea_spirit
Scotland, 1921. When Brienne finds out her father is bringing an unwelcome guest from her past to join a shooting party at Winterfell, Sansa suggests that she ask her friend Lord Jaime Lannister for his assistance.
An Afternoon at Aerys Ancient Baths by hillaryschu
Brienne accidentally takes Jaime somewhere super sexy for his birthday and they realize it's actually what they both want. A trip to a modern bathhouse.
Found Wanting by dreadwulf
Brienne is still convinced that the entire affair is a joke on her. Surely there is a real bride somewhere in the castle, who will be brought out once the crowd has had a good laugh at the cow in a satin gown. When she said as much to her intended, he said it was surely a joke on them both. Let them laugh, he said. What’s funnier is that Queen Daenerys made the match in the first place – she must have thought them intolerable to one another. The Beauty and the Kingslayer. Surely Brienne could see the humor in it?
pillow talk by djelibeybi
There are still a lot of things Brienne is afraid to say, but she's trying to be brave.
give it a chance Serries by sameboots
In which Jaime is an important person, Brienne is his P.A., Jaime is hard to deal with, and Brienne is very patient.
--
“Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.”
“That’s not why I hate you.” Brienne turns around with the tux in hand to find Jaime looking at her like a kicked puppy. “What?”
“You hate me?”
Jaime actually sounds wounded. Brienne pinches the bridge of her nose.
Let's go our separate ways in the night (But know that you're flying home to me) by ImberReader
The first time Jaime kisses her hand she thinks it's part of his promise that they will meet again. And while she's not technically wrong, it takes two more kisses for her to realizes it's so much more than that.
Madness by RoseHeart
Brienne brings Jaime to the Quiet Isle after Pennytree and tries to save everyone, but no one expected what would happen when Jaime tries to save her.
Ring Them Bells by kirazi
His mouth is set in an unhappy line, and she knows he hears it as a sentence she’s passing on him, a just punishment for his crimes. Good, she thinks, yes. I sentence you to live. Live, and find a way to come to terms with it. Live, and never make me watch you ride to your own grave again.
(Jaime rings the bells, and from there, the future unfolds differently. A story about two tired knights on a slow boat to Tarth, working things out.)
The Alcove by RoseHeart
A one shot inspired by the lovely art by jokertookmypicture.
Jaime and Brienne have survived war and winter. But now they must try to find their new lives amidst something they have never truly experienced before: peace.
Head, Hand, Heart by ddagent
When Jaime slays King Aerys, there is no one to take his place. Ned, fearing a Lannister rise to power, suggests his father’s ward, Brienne of Tarth, take the throne. She reluctantly agrees, and finds an ally in Ser Jaime. His loyalty is given by asking just one question: why.
As the Maid of Tarth becomes Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the Kingslayer becomes Hand to the Queen. And, the longer they spend together, possibly more…
maybe, perhaps, almost by lionoflannistarth (eldritch_beau)
“You haven’t visited the Maester yet, have you?” Brienne asks.
“Oh come now,” Jaime just shrugs, looking up at her with a boyish grin, “you’ve seen me worse.”
Her blue eyes are shining, brimming with life and for a second he feels a mad abandon. She is alive. So is he.
He should just fucking kiss her.
I'm dying to be born again by angel_deux
After the wars are done, Daenerys is queen of the six kingdoms. Jon and Sansa Stark rule the north. And Jaime serves as a hostage in Kings Landing to ensure his brother's good behavior. When Tyrion schemes to see Jaime married off and removed from the city, Jaime is allowed to choose his wife.
He should be happier that the woman he loves is quick to accept his proposal. Except maybe it's too quick. And she just says, "all right". And she calls it sensible.
aka Jaime and Brienne get married to keep the friendship alive, and Jaime pines for his literal wife.
Maiden, Monster, Knight by PrioritiesSorted
The tale was told throughout the Seven Kingdoms: the tale of a mother’s mad grief, the tale of the maiden in the tower, the tale of the dragon who guarded her. A dragon who had once been a girl.
The Unicorn Incident by sdwolfpup
Catelyn needs a unicorn horn. Jaime knows where one is. Brienne is the only virgin she trusts to go with him. Time for a sexually awkward two-person road trip!
cold by djelibeybi
The world is ending soon, she thought. That’s enough to make any man act strangely.
Go On by sdwolfpup
The entirely soft tale of Brienne-with-the-fish and Jaime-with-the-bar, the cheating ex-boyfriend that inadvertently brings them together, and the supportive and exasperated support systems in their lives that help them see that even after heartbreak, life goes on.
Something Real by francoeurs
In which Jaime has a nightmare and overreacts just a bit.

A McCrea-Illustrated Feathursday
We keep with our children’s-book theme for this #Feathersday (our last two were also from children’s books) with Ruth and James McCrea’s The Birds, originally published in New York by Atheneum in 1966. Our copy is the second printing in 1967. Both Ruth (née Pirman, 1921-2016) and James McCrea (1920-2013) were prolific artists, illustrators, designers, and picture book authors. They met as students at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida and married in 1943 (read Ruth’s obituary for her curious connection to the Ringling Brothers Circus).
The story of The Birds concerns two feathered friends, Mr. Woolsey and Mr. Tootle, who own a fine little boat with “a beautiful umbrella to shade them both from the sun.” After a stroll one day, they discover upon their return that their umbrella is gone. But later it reappears, and the next day it’s gone again. The birds set out to solve the mystery and discover that Archibald Turtle had been borrowing it each day to shield his ailing marigold plant from the sun. What to do? They compromise by bringing Archie and his plant onto the boat with them. The marigold thrives and they all become fast friends. What nice birds!
The book jacket makes special, detailed mention of the “Spartan Binding,” shown in the last image, by H. Wolff Bindery in New York:
Spartan picture book bindings feature side sewing through drill cloth reinforcement, both endpapers, and text pages. The pyroxylin impregnated cloth is washable, damp proof, and soil resistant. The binding is guaranteed to last for the lifetime of the sheets.
After nearly 60 years, the claim holds true.

Break up anon here- I'm ok :) thank you for asking.
It's hard and I miss him but I'm better off without him. It's just hard to forget the side of him that was nice to me.
I looked it up and i was talking about Great Dane 1439!!! Aaand Cat 1921,,, god i remember that little boat set now that I'm looking at it :)
Them, the heart dachshund and German shepherd 491 are all sitting on my shelf of. Treasured possessions. I have all my older LPS still ofc but. :) These ones are my favorite.
I remember when i was tiny i would do stop motion with them and the stop motion thing the 3ds camera app could do!!! I don't think i still have the little videos but i remember filming stuff in. That big house set with the rotating part 1 sec. (God that plane set kid me loved making plane crash scenarios lmfao)
"Biggest Littlest Pet Shop" gOD THAT HOUSE WAS THE SHIT IT WAS SOO COOL AS A KID. so much spacceeee. The only other houses i had were tinier (and or was the cardboard one + that one that was weird plastic that you were meant to zip up that one was disgusting idk i hated the texture and just. Vertical sjit like that sucked as houses)
Fjjjf sorry for infodumping 💖 i love this blog seeing little friends everyday makes me happy :)
it's near impossible to not miss someone who's no longer in your life, no matter how bad they may have been, i understand that very well <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i love these two ... #1439 was my first great dane lps ever actually, and i got it semi-recently in 2023 !! i love this cat mold a lot ... there's only around 7 cats that use the mold, i wish there were more ...
i love it when people ramble in my inbox tbh, it's more than welcome !!
i feel like i know exactly what house/building you're talking about that you zip up. i think i had one similar but it may have been barbie??? or maybe it was lps, but i used it mostly for my barbies because i didn't have any real barbie houses lol

September 1921, Henford-on-Bagley, England
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dearest sister,
I hate it. I bloody detest it. Thomas, the title, the fucking castle. I could go on for hours about the castle. It is beautiful, yes, and full of history, but my god, it costs 6,000 bloody pounds a month to even run it. 72,000 a year. That’s more than I would make in fifteen years in my field of work. I think once Thomas dies I am going to sell it. I don’t see the need to live in a Versailles Palace knock-off. I was told that they even hired Jules Hardouin-Mansart and his successor Robert de Cotte to design the place back in 1709. 
I spend six days a week with his grace, learning the skills and duties of a duke. He’s hired an etiquette coach to teach me how to dine properly (there is no need to be so many types of spoons and forks, why is there a fork just for eating cheese and another for snails?), a ballroom instructor to teach me to dance waltzes, and I spend hours with the estate manager, learning to the run the bloody place. Stella has escaped these tortures because her mother thought it be would smart to learn American, English, and French etiquette and dining styles. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sundays are my only free day, and I spend it with Stella. She hates it here more than I do. She tells me that she wants to go home, back to New York. I don’t blame her. The countryside has almost no society, and we avoid the neighbors—Thomas doesn’t think we are ready to be in proper society yet. It is so bluntly obvious that he does not like us I almost laugh. 
He leaves for London for parliament soon. I am tempted to sneak away on a boat back to New York. Change my name and run to California where Stella and I will run a hotel. It began as a joke at first, but I wonder if she’s starting to be semi-serious now. I think I will make a case to let us live in London, that way we will be near you and Francesca, and Stella knows people in London. She won’t stuck in a society based on racial privilege and merit. I just want to pursue my own life with my own interests. 
I will send a telegram when I am in London. Hopefully soon. 
Your darling suffering brother, Byron
East London
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Giselle set the letter down and sighed. Of course Byron was complaining about living in a castle. She understood why he was angry, but she was living in a tiny apartment in East London, barely making ends meet if she and Francesca weren’t both working. The only person she felt sorry for in the matter was Stella.
“Oh Giselle,” Francesca wailed, opening the door and slamming it behind her. She was crying.
Giselle stood up in shock. “What happened, dearest? What is the matter?”
“I’ve had a telegram from the family lawyer. Aunt Rosamond is dead.”

Described as Hemingway`s most prized and beloved possession, at least after his boat Pilar - The Farm, painted by the Spanish artist Joan Miró (1921-1922). First piece of art that Hemingway bought, for 5 000 french francs. It was a birthday present for his wife, Hadley. He wrote in 1934 in the journal Cahiers d'art, “No one could look at it and not know it had been painted by a great painter. I would not trade it for any picture in the world.” Hemingway also described it by saying, “It has in it all that you feel about Spain when you are there and all that you feel when you are away and cannot go there. No one else has been able to paint these two very opposing things.” Now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, where it was given in 1987 by Mary Hemingway.   ::: [Lina Bulgaria]  ::  [Ernest Hemingway]
* * * * *
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
― Ernest Hemingway
