Rec: Full Fathom Five by hardlyfatal

Title: Full Fathom Five
Author: hardlyfatal
Canon: Game of Thrones | ASOIAF
Pairing: Brienne of Tarth/Jaime Lannister
Rating: Mature [R]
Word Count: 15,187
Summary: Brienne loses herself, and Jaime is forever changed. A conjecture about how Jaime might reunite with Brienne, now that he’s left Cersei and KL to go north and fight ice zombies. Humor, drama, sex– for what more can you ask?

Recommendation: This is the follow up for Season 7 that I really needed, so much. Of course I love Jaime and Brienne reconnecting, but also Jaime and Tyrion letting bygones be (while being snarky Lannisters at each other). I love Sandor being a caustic purveyor of wisdom and Jaime being able to see the sense in it. I also love Tormund being such a good guy even though he wasn’t going to get the girl. And Pod, bless him.

Addendum: My “Post Season 8” self is ready to weep over this story because of what might have been.
