A song of ice and fire crossover fanfiction jaime lannister
George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' gives us an array of complex characters that we love, hate, and everything in between. One such character is Ser Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. This fan fiction aims to portray an alternate universe where Jaime's journey takes a noticeably different route.
Jaime’s Redemption Arc
In this fanfiction version, Jaime's redemption arc remains but it begins earlier than in the original storyline. Jaime Lannister is disillusioned after killing the Mad King and his reputation has suffered. He's perceived as a dishonorable knight who violated his oath. To reclaim his honor, Jaime decides to leave King's Landing for a while and join the Night’s Watch.
The call of duty and the prospect of a clean slate gives Jaime the opportunity to find redemption. This early departure from the capital starts to detach him from his toxic relationship with his sister, Cersei, and allows him to grow independently.
Training with the Night’s Watch
At the Wall, Jaime’s combat skills and knowledge of politicking become useful. He trains recruits rigorously, hardening them for the impending winter. On the other hand, his interactions with Jon Snow and Sam Tarly begin to humble him and teach him the true value of honor.
Being at the Wall, Jamie also gets entwined with the overarching plot against the White Walkers much earlier. He becomes one of the vital characters in enforcing and strengthening the Night’s Watch defenses.
Befriending the Starks
In this alternate universe, Jaime has an ally in the Starks, primarily Bran. In a twist of fate, he never pushes Bran off the tower, and this absence of guilt alters his character development. Moreover, an alliance with the Starks can offer a stark (pun intended) contrast of morality against his loyalty to his own family who are the Starks�sworn enemies.
The complex dynamic of such a friendship, especially with Bran's mystical abilities coming into play, adds another layer to Jaime's character and presents numerous possibilities for interesting plotlines.
A Love Confession Gone Wrong
In one notable scene, Jaime confesses his forbidden love for Cersei to Brienne of Tarth, not because of a romantic angle, but due to his need for honest confession. This vulnerable moment presents a broken and conflicted Jaime to us. The confession, however, instantly drives a wedge between him and Brienne, straining their newly formed trust.
The scene gets further complicated when Jaime realizes that he’s slowly starting to harbor feelings for Brienne. This love triangle between Jaime, Cersei, and Brienne pushes our knight into deeper internal conflicts.
Conclusion
In this fanfiction alternate universe, Jaime Lannister goes through a different journey than the one we’re familiar with in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. He faces numerous challenges, meets unlikely allies, and continues his path to redemption, providing us with a glimpse of an honorable and broken Kingslayer.
