    Summary

    Seasons 7/8 canonverse AU, with the backstory drawing heavily on the books.
     

    After bringing the Gift to House Frey, Arya rides south to kill the queen. On the road she meets the Kingslayer riding north in stolen black armor and with one fewer hands than he’d had when last she’d seen him four years previously. She tells him that she’s off to kill the Queen; he tells her he rides north to fight an army of the dead alongside her brother Jon.

    They agree to ride north together, and what happens next is a story of two broken people finding themselves and each other. Prophecies are fulfilled, treaties are brokered, and sex is had.

     
    Excerpt:

     
    “How did you recognize me?” she demanded. “And why are you out here alone?”

    “I could ask you the same things,” said Jaime, rummaging in his saddlebag. He came up with a few strips of dried meat, and he tossed one to Arya.

    Arya shrugged. “That’s easy: you still look like a Lannister, even if you aren’t dressed like one. I’m out here alone because that’s how I’ve survived, and besides: who would help me kill the queen?”

    “Me, on the right day,” said Jaime in an offhand way.

    Summary

    A brand new Arya/Jaime story, separate from 'Be the Lightning in Me,' and an apology to readers offended/pissed off by the ending of 'Field of Fire.' Jaime, still in possession of both his hands, escapes the Starks and rejoins Lord Tywin, who has been amusing himself at Harrenhal for the past four years. There, he meets Father's cupbearer, a girl who would like nothing better than to stick a knife in his back.
