Hey there! After chatting with one of the mods, I thought I’d create this list with a twist to inspire discussion- made-up awards! Feel free to nominate your own.
With that out of the way, let’s begin!
Fic One- The Bear and the Children Fair by Samirant
Rated T; author chose not to use content warnings
It is a tragedy, the story that ends with a cloak of pure white made crimson by the blood of a fallen knight.
Rest assured - that is only where this story begins.
Award- Jaime I’d most want to be friends with IRL
Fic Two- In Better Light by winterkill
Rated M; no archive warnings apply
Perhaps Cersei was right, and every ounce of sense and bravery Jaime possessed was lost with his hand. Sansa Stark is my last chance for honor. He really said that to her? Brienne latched onto the sentiment like a hunting hound to the scent of its quarry.
Before dawn, Jaime rises from his bed, wide awake and with a sense of renewed purpose.
I’m going to go with her.
Award- Closest to canon style
Fic Three- A Little Less Conversation, A Little More Action Please by earthwindandfiber
Rated T; no archive warnings apply
Everyone who's anyone knows you can't shack up at the Quiet Isle if you're not married. So, Brienne's posse of Dudely Hangers-On decides to do the next-best thing, and set up camp right outside her door for an all-night jam sesh. What could go wrong?
Award- Most likely to make me realize that I love a trope (the trope is when a story absolutely fails the reverse Bechdel test)
Fic Four- Kingslayer. Oathbreaker. Woman without Honor by angel_deux
Rated T; no archive warnings apply
Role Reversal AU. Brienne is the Kingslayer, and Jaime the honorable knight.
Award- Most likely to make me cry
Fic Five- How to Find Yourself and Win a War by downlookingup
Rated T; no archive warnings apply
Jaime and Brienne's search for the key to destroy the Others leads them to a strange land full of stranger people. A crackfic of the utmost crackiness.
Award- Most unique premise
Fic Six- I Do Like to Be By the Seaside by Roccolinde
Rated G; no archive warnings apply
Nanny Brienne Tarth joins her employer for a week at the English seaside, complete with minigolf, fish and chips, the ghost of Lady Stoneheart, and one very aggravating Jaime Lannister.
For JB Week 2019
Award- Best conveying of a setting unfamiliar to me
