Ooh this was excellent! The banter was totally priceless and their first meeting including Jaime not wearing his shirt and being totally snarky with her. And oh dear the two of them bantering about how many stitches he has while he's at the hospital is just so -them-, I can't even. And Brienne's mantra in this is so very her (and I really liked how you described the academy/Renly dying - it so mirrored canon nicely). And awwww the ending was just too good.
