Summary
Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.
[Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

Summary
Brienne of Tarth never expected her first semester teaching at King’s University to be anything more than a quiet academic transition. Then Jaime Lannister walks into her classroom—late, cocky, golden, and entirely too charming for someone on the verge of failing. He shouldn’t look at her like that. She shouldn’t look back. But some lessons are harder to unlearn. Especially the ones about desire, restraint, and all the consequences in between.

Summary
It started as a favor. A contract. A lie.
Brienne of Tarth, ex-military turned private security specialist, agrees to a fake relationship with golden boy Jaime Lannister to salvage his PR disaster. She’s used to following orders. He’s used to being adored. Neither expects to like each other — and they definitely don’t expect to fit.
But between press events, late-night banter, and guarded glances that start to linger a little too long, something real begins to unravel beneath the performance.
In a world of headlines, legacy, and carefully curated image, Brienne and Jaime must navigate the dangerous terrain of what it means to stop pretending.
Because the most honest thing they’ve ever done… might be this lie they started together.

Summary
Senator Jaime Lannister is a man with the nation’s eyes on him—charming, ambitious, and poised to claim the presidency. To the public, he’s untouchable. To those closest to him, he’s reckless, golden, and hungry for power. And to one woman, he’s everything he’s not supposed to be.
Brienne Tarth is his head of security—unyielding, discreet, and loyal to a fault. Her duty is to shield him from bullets, scandals, and whispers in dark corridors. But behind closed doors, she shields his heart, too.
What begins as stolen touches and secret glances spirals into a love affair that could destroy them both. Every rally, debate, and gala sharpens the risk: rivals circling, allies watching, and one slip of control away from ruin. As the campaign heats to its breaking point, Jaime must decide if victory is worth the price of silence—and Brienne must decide if her honor can survive loving a man the world is desperate to own.
In a race where power is everything, love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.

Summary
Jaime Lannister, sharp-tongued and perfectionist editor-in-chief at Lannister & Goldleaf, faces deportation back to Casterly Rock — and a rival eager to take his place. In a panic, he announces he’s engaged to Brienne Tarth, his overworked executive assistant, who only agrees when he promises to publish her manuscript.
To sell the lie, they travel to Brienne’s eccentric hometown on Tarth for her uncle’s 60th birthday. Old flames, family chaos, lingering insecurities, and a suspicious immigration officer threaten to unravel their charade.
By the end of the weekend, amid scandals, sharp words, and stolen glances, Jaime and Brienne must confront not only their growing feelings… but also the truths they’ve hidden from themselves.
