I really like watching Commander Sinclair in action because it’s obvious how he got his position. He’s not brawny, or impossibly confident in himself like your Captain Kirks (or even Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest); he’s got brains, and he can be devious and manipulative when he wants to be. He’s like a space-age Odysseus, but it’s obvious that he’s also restless and troubled, like most overthinkers. He goes out on missions whenever he can and has a great deal of pain that he doesn’t want to show. For a white male lead of an ensemble cast, he actually manages to be pretty compelling.

Okay. So I don’t actually agree with this prompt. The whole point, her whole character is based on the fact that Brienne is not pretty. Not when she’s cleaned up, not ever. If I was going to write something to the prompt, it might as well not be Brienne. That said, I naturally thought of the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and one thing led to another… fic is below the cut. Sorry it didn’t fill the prompt, but hope you like it anyway :)
Agreed. Brienne has been “cleaned up” a lot in her life. She is a lord’s daughter and has been gussied up to be presented to suitors repeatedly (as we hear about). She is also not a character who “doesn’t want” to be seen as beautiful/courted. She has grown to accept that it is not going to happen and is wary of anyone mocking that dream, but she is a woman who wants to be loved as well as a knight. She doesn’t reject femininity, although she experiences it as rejecting her.
I would disagree that not being pretty (except for her very fine eyes) is her WHOLE character, but it is certainly a definite part of who she is. Someone might like or end up liking how she looks, but its not going to be because of some makeover magic.
Realizing you should have cross tagged all your ASOIAF fics for GoT two years ago: facepalm-ey.
Like, if a girl gets hanged for fucking Jaime Lannister, she should at least get the chance to actually fuck him.
Yes! And I bet he’s good in bed too because I bet Cersei made sure he knew how to please her ;)
As much as I agree with the general sentiment, this would probably be the most awkward first time ever: blushing virgin with body issues galore and emotionally confused guy whose sexual experience consists of fucking his sister.
Aaaaawkwaaaard.
I can’t articulate why, but I really want to read that.
I have loved a lot of Jaime/Brienne fic, but I have NEVER EVER read a sex scene between them that was as awkward as it needs to be.
And that makes me sad.
I always end up cutting out the sex scenes when I write them because I can’t bring myself to make it as awkward/uncomfortable as makes sense… so I just have thousands of words of unfinished Jaime/Brienne porn on my harddrive.

I’m not really avoiding spoilers here, since it’s a 20-year-old show, but I’d hate for anyone to be spoiled on this (from a later season), so click to continue…
