Are Jaime and Brienne being set up to have a sexual relationship?

Jaime often brings up how his sister is the only girl he's ever been with. Brienne is a maid who generally seems indifferent to any sort of romantic relationship with men (Renly is the only man she ever loved or was interested in right?). She's had sexual assault and sexual advancements threatened, mocked, or teased at her her whole life.



Brienne seems to have connected with Jaime on a level no woman has ever been able to. Not even Cersei (though Cersei and Jaime of course have a unique and extremely strong relationship). Will the emotional connection they have ever produce an equivalent physical connection?



Perhaps they are strictly platonic besties. Sometimes things in the text cause me to think there is some sort of emotion inside Jaime and Brienne that wants to embrace the other but is unsure of what exactly the emotion is or what it is seeking. I could just be seeing what I want to see though

In a word: yes. If you go back and read their sword fight in ASOS, it's heavily sexualized. Lots of innuendo, IMO. Definitely a sexual element to their interactions.



They will either fully consummate their "relationship" or at least make their feelings clear to each other in word if not deed. It's not happy ending for these two, in my prediction, though, but rather Jaime dies and if they did consummate their feelings, I think Brienne will be left with a child.

Babies ever after trope? Please no...

That said I do think they are heading that way, but will never be a happy ending, one will die in the others arms...

If there is a child, Brienne will be on her won, Jaime having died in King's Landing trying to stop Cersei from setting the city on wildfire. I don't think Jaime will die in Brienne's arms, though. I think she might be far away, still trying to find one of the Stark girls.

I agree. I think the happiest ending we can have for these two is for Brienne to have Jaime's child.

I kind of see them dying together in battle. Sort of the way they fought together in Jaime's dream in ASOS that prompts him to turn back and save her

"I dreamed of you"

That would be tragic. So of course. ;)

Ok, Someone To Remember Him By trope then...

Actually I kind of see it as Brienne dying in Jamies arms, maybe afer she saved him or something.... Jamie having to live out his life with the knowledge that Brienne was his real soulmate but she's gone (I think he will survive the books and be a tragic figure)

So either "someone to remember him by" trope; "babies after trope;" or apparently "dying in his arms after saving?" trope?

Any situation that isn't a trope?

I agree that one of them will live. But--at the risk of another trope--I thing Jaime and Cersei will go out together, but the big change is that Jaime's eyes are finally 100% opened to his sister. And the extra irony, he manages to kill Cersei but can't prevent the wildfire from taking KL's (like he stopped Aerys) but dies in the attempt.

No, because they won't have the time or opportunity. It is one of those relationships that could have gone that way if given the opportunity and better circumstances and time to develop though. So there is a tragic romance there, but they won't be getting sexual.

Aren't they together at the end of Dance? And I don't think Brienne will actually hand Jaime over to LSH but will end up betraying LSH for Jaime. So as far as time or opportunity, I think GRRM can make it work at some point between WoW and ADoS.

While they are together I see them getting mixed in important political and other events and not necessarily as allies. Jaime might well become a prisoner soon. And even if Brienne betrays LS for Jaime it might happen too late and not at the best circumstances at which point she can't be with Jaime. But we shall see.

It really all depends on how things go in The Winds of Winter



it seems like Jamie is headed into a trap. If he can somehow get out of that mess, then who knows what could happen. The two clearly do seem to have feelings for each other.

I think he's headed into a trap as well, but I think Brienne will betray LSH and save Jaime.

I do not think so. That being said, Brienne certainly at least has a crush on Jaime. It's not so apparent with Jaime thought.

I do not think this is really true.

I disagree with your last statement. Jaime goes back for Brienne when he dreams of her (the fact that he's dreaming of her at all..); he gets aroused in the bathhouse and tries to excuse it away as just his bodies natural reaction; he thinks of her quite a bit in ASOS and AFFC; he goes with her at the end of AFFC, almost no questions asked. And like I said, their sword fight in ASOS is quite innuendo-y. Jaime definitelycares for Brienne.

Brienne is a foil to Cersei, IMO. And I think Jaime is starting to see that.

Cersei is beautiful/ Brienne is not described as such, apart from her eyes. And of course Cersei's are green and Brienne's are the opposite, blue.

Cersei is very sexual/ Brienne is a maid

Cersei uses her sexual nature to get what she wants/ Brienne uses a sword

Cersei breaks oaths and promises/ Brienne is literally carrying a sword called Oathkeeper.
