“GET OFF ME!” You screamed as you were being dragged away by the Gold Cloaks of Kings Landing.

“Please Brienne! Help me! I thought we had something, I trusted you!” You screamed at Brienne as she watched you get dragged to the dungeons under the city of Kings Landing. She couldn’t bare to look at you as you fought to get out of the grip of the four men that surrounded you. She took one final look before turning around and walking in the opposite direction. Her oath was complete.

You watched as she turned around and started walking the opposite way. At that point you stopped. You stopped fighting the men and let your body go limp. They dragged you to the Dungeons before chaining you up in your new home for who knows how long. You knew Brienne was doing her job but you kind of hoped that after the month it took you to get to Kings Landing and the friendship you thought you had formed with her that she might have changed her mind.

You sat in your cold dark cell and thought back on the time you had spent with Brienne. It was the only thing keeping you happy.

- FLASHBACK -

You had been captured by the Starks after being caught with the sword you had stolen from the Lannisters. Why you stole it you don’t know. You were messing around with your friends and the idea to take the sword came into play. You didn’t think it would get this far but the day you came across Robbs army was the day that would change your life forever.

You knew word had spread that a young woman had taken the sword but you didn’t believe that anyone would question you until Robbs men recognised the sword immediately. You were taken prisoner as soon as they saw you. Thrown into a makeshift cell until they decided what to do with you.

Three days passed with barely any food and water before Catelyn Stark and a tall blonde haired woman came to your cell. The woman was gorgeous. You couldn’t even look in her general direction.

“Y/n after much consideration we have decided the best course of action to take is to have Brienne of Tarth escort you back to Kings Landing for the Lannisters to decide how they want to punish you. As for the sword that is already on its way back to Kings Landing back to its rightful owner. For your sake I hope that was worth everything because who knows what they will do to you” she said to you before opening the cell and walking away.

“Stand,” Brienne said with a stern voice. You were never one to obey orders. Never in your life had you listened to anyone but as soon as that one word left her mouth you were on your feet in seconds. You almost fell due to not having been able to stand for the last three days. With that she grabbed some rope and started wrapping it around your body. Not too tight but tight enough for you not to be able to escape leaving just enough rope behind acting as a lead for Brienne.

“Is this really necessary?” You asked as she pulled you out of the cell by the rope. “You tell me? I don’t know you. I don’t know what you planned to do with that sword. For all I know you could have been planning to harm someone. This way is safer for me and you. Plus how would I know you wouldn’t try to escape?” She asked you as we started heading for the horses that had been tied up on the outside of the camp.

Escape? Why would I even want to escape this beauty? But I knew that this was probably the best solution. You decided not to say anything. She didn’t seem like much of a people person anyway. This was just another job for her. The sooner she could get rid of me the sooner she could get back to who she is loyal to. In this case that would be Catelyn Stark.

Brienne helped you onto her horse before heading towards the Kings road to start your journey back to Kings Landing. “So how long will this journey take then Brienne?” You asked, trying to get a small conversation started with the tall beauty. “About a month” she stated clearly showing she didn’t want to take the conversation much further. This is going to be a long month if the whole journey is going to be like this.

After a few hours Brienne finally brought the horse to a halt. You looked around to see nothing but trees. You looked for the sun seeing that it was getting closer to the west sky. We must be stopping for the night. “Are we stopping for the night?” You asked Brienne as she helped you down from her horse. “Yes” she stated as she started tying you to a tree. “Seriously Brienne. What do you think I’m going to do? We are in the middle of nowhere. Where am I going to run?” You asked, getting slightly annoyed at how you were being treated.

“You are staying here and for my peace of mind while I get wood and food. I won’t be long as soon as I get back I will untie you from the tree but the rope stays around you” she said walking off into the woods. I hope she is not too long because it’s starting to get cold. After about an hour of sitting alone watching the sun get closer and closer to the horizon you hear a twig snap in the forest. You look up but don’t see anyone.

“Stay back! I’m armed!” You shouted hoping that whoever was in the forest would stay clear from you knowing there was nothing you could do to defend yourself. “I highly doubt that” you hear Brienne shout from behind a tree as you watch as she walks back to you with an armful of wood plus two rabbits she had killed. You relaxed slightly knowing that it was just her. You were so scared that it was someone that knew about your whereabouts.

“Why would you do that to me! You scared the life out of me Brienne!” You basically screamed at her. “I’m sorry y/n that wasn’t my intention” she stated throwing the wood onto the floor and coming over to you to untie you from the tree. She let the remainder of the rope hit the floor as she grabbed the rabbits from the floor and started to skin them. “You know how to start a fire y/n?” She asked. “Of course I do. First thing I learnt when I was out on my own.” Brienne chucked the flint and steel at you indicating that she wanted you to start the fire.

You picked up the flint and steel and headed over to the collection of wood and organised it into a small little pile so you were able to start the fire. After a few attempts you were finally able to get the fire going, adding a few pieces of wood every so often to keep the fire roaring. By the time the fire was strong enough Brienne had skinned the rabbits and placed them above the fire to start cooking them.

You sat back against the tree as you waited for the rabbits to cook. Once they were done Brienne passed you one of the rabbits. You allowed it to cool slightly before tucking in. It was delicious and probably the best meal you had in months. Unfortunately the one thing you suck at was cooking so nine times out of ten your meals were either uncooked or just burnt. After eating Brienne grabbed the rope and started tying it around her wrist.

“Really Brienne! I'm not going to try and escape” you complained as she settled down for the night. “Im sorry y/n but we are not at that level of trust. Maybe as time goes by I might but I highly doubt that will happen. If the day ever comes then I may untie you but right now the rope stays on.” With that she laid down and settled in for the night. Knowing that it wasn’t worth fighting over you laid down yourself and let the sleep overcome you.

You awoke to Brienne picking you up and placing you on her horse. “Seriously Brienne you couldn’t have woke me?” You asked half asleep trying to get comfortable. “Sorry y/n I just want to keep moving however that may be.”

The next week was the same. You would travel all day then Brienne would pick a somewhat safe place to stay for the night. She would tie you to a tree while she goes to get wood and food. She would skin the food while you started the fire. You eat before going to sleep. However one night she finally trusted you to allow you to sleep without the constriction of the rope. You were quite surprised but didn’t question her as you didn’t want her to change her mind and as annoying as you may be both you and Brienne are starting to make an unlikely friendship.

As the weeks continued you were slowly getting to know your companion more and more each day. Brienne had finally decided to get rid of the rope completely. She realised that if you were going to escape you would have tried something by now. She was a bit wary but you proved that you could be left alone untied without running away. It also made the evenings a little bit easier. While Brienne hunted you went off to find wood. By the time the beauty returned you always had a roaring fire going.

This night was a lot colder than most nights. You could tell winter was coming. As you and Brienne huddled around the fire eating your food you decided to spark up a conversation. “So how long is left until our journey is over?” You asked as you finished your last bite of food. “About a week. I will be honest I wouldn’t think I would be dreading the journey coming to an end but here we are. I’ve quite enjoyed your company and the somewhat weird friendship we have formed.”

You sighed looking down at your feet “I agree with you there Brienne. I’ve enjoyed your company from the minute this journey started. I wouldn’t be lying if I said I had a little crush on you but I understand this has to stay…” you were interrupted by her hand on your face and her soft lips meeting yours. Was this happening? Was this really happening? You froze and just as you were about to kiss back she pulled away. “I’m sorry y/n I don’t know what I was thinking” and with that she pulled herself away from you and went to lay down.

Idiot. You idiot, why didn’t you kiss her back? You wanted this from day one and now she thinks you don’t want her. You decided it was best to leave her and it was better to discuss this further in the morning. You laid down, letting sleep once again overtake your body. You awoke to darkness. The sun had not risen and the fire was out. Who knows what the time was but all you could think about was how cold you were. As your eyes adjusted to the darkness you looked towards where you believed Brienne was laying. She was shivering too.

“Brienne?” You whispered hoping she would be awake. No response. “Brienne?” You whispered again just a little bit louder. She started to stir before jolting up and looking around in panic. “What’s wrong! Y/n are you ok? Where is the danger?” She asked searching for you in the dark. “Brienne calm down, I'm fine but I’m cold. Can you please come lay down next to me and keep me warm?” You asked sheepishly. Brienne rolled her eyes before getting up and coming closer to you wrapping her long arms around your body keeping you close to her chest. Knowing she was right there you were able to fall back to sleep a lot quicker than you thought. As for Brienne, she couldn’t sleep. She was too overwhelmed by you and by the fact that you were now asleep in her arms.

By the time the sun started to arise you awoke with your face buried in the crook of the tall woman’s neck. You pulled away slightly to see if she was awake but to your surprise she was still very much fast asleep. Normally she is the one who is up first out of the two of you. You decided to be brave and started leaving small little kisses up the side of her neck. Making your way closer and closer to her lips. As you did so Brienne started to stir looking you dead in the eyes as you hovered over her lips. You look down to her lips then back into her gaze before slowly leaning down and kissing her soft lips. She responded immediately. The kiss is soft yet so passionate. You pulled away needing some air. “I’m sorry Brienne. I wanted to kiss you back last night but I froze. I feel the exact same way” Brienne smiled before pulling you back down, capturing your lips once again.

After your little make out session you decided it was best to get back to the road. The final week was filled with laughter, kisses and sleeping in each other's arms but nothing went much further than that. You were disappointed but you knew this wouldn’t be forever. There was no point starting something that you potentially couldn’t finish. This way you both were unlikely to get hurt. How wrong you both were.

As you two got closer and closer to Kings Landing it was harder to find places to sleep where you wouldn’t be in danger of being attacked in your sleep. Therefore it was Brienne’s idea to get a room in one of the local inns. This way you could have a decent meal and good nights sleep without the worry that one of you would get hurt during the night. Brienne knew this would be your final night together but you were still clueless about how much further until you would reach Kings Landing. If you left early enough tomorrow morning you would reach Kings Landing by the afternoon.

After you had both finished your pies and ale you headed up to your room that had been assigned to you both by the innkeeper. You were shocked however to only see the one bed. “Looks like we are sharing the bed. At least I will get to sleep with you in your arms like we do every night” you smiled while watching Brienne lock the door and walk over to you.

“I don’t want to sleep tonight y/n” she said as her eyes gazed upon your body. You knew immediately what she was thinking. Never in your life did you think this would happen but here you are. Brienne guided you back onto the bed before gazing deep into your eyes. “Tell me you don’t want this to happen and I will stop. Maybe I was just reading this all wro..” you interrupted her by kissing her deeply. “I want this Brienne. I want you. You can do whatever you want I just want to be with you” with that she captured your lips once again in a deep kiss allowing her long slim fingers to graze over your body sending shivers up your spine.

Travelling down to the hem of your shirt she pulls away and starts to lift the fabric up and off your body revealing your chest to her. “You’re absolutely beautiful y/n” she said as she cupped one of your breasts in one hand and leaned down to the other to leave soft kisses on your skin before biting down gently on your hardened bud before starting to suck gently, swirling her tongue over the hard bud. Never in your life had you been turned on so much by anyone doing this to your breasts but here you were a moaning mess under Brienne’s touch.

She started to make her way down south leaving kisses along your belly down to where you could feel a throbbing ache in your core. “Brienne wait” you said between breaths. “What’s the matter y/n? Have I done something wrong?” She asked pulling away from your body worried she had done something she was not supposed to have done. “Nothing, Brienne. You have done nothing wrong. I want this I do but I want to worship you first. You deserve to be worshipped like the goddess you are!” You said as you sat up and flipped her onto her back so you could start to strip her of her clothes. Thankfully she had removed her armour when you had arrived at the inn. You don’t think you would have had the patients to deal with taking that off.

You repeated the process that Brienne started on you. Removing her top half of her clothes and leaving sweet kisses down from her neck, around her breasts playing extra close attention before slowly making your way down to her core. You removed her pants, hurling them onto the floor. She was completely naked and she was stunning. “You’re beautiful Brienne. Absolutely beautiful.” You saw something in her that others didn’t. Brienne had told you the story from the ball where she was referred to as ‘Brienne the beauty’ in your opinion she was the most beautiful woman alive. She may not believe you due to the hurt that has come from that name but it was true to you.

You slowly position yourself between the woman’s legs, spreading her legs apart to reveal her throbbing wet core for you. “All this just for me Brienne? I must really do something to you!” You didn’t even let her respond between leaving a soft kiss just above her clit. You were so close but not close enough to where she wanted it most. You were such a tease. “Please y/n don’t tease. Fuck me already! I need to feel you, " she moaned. You didn’t even have to ask her to beg and yet here you were teasing the woman in front of you begging for you to fuck her between breathy moans.

With that you let your tongue slide all the way from her entrance to her clit focusing purely on the bundle of nerves when you reached it. Brienne moaned, feeling your hot tongue swirl over her sensitive bundle of nerves. You started to switch between sucking and swirling your tongue over the bundle of nerves as Brienne moaned under your touch. You placed one of your free hands on her hip holding her in place and you took your other hand and started sliding one of your fingers inside of her. She gasped as the sudden digit that was filling her up. “More” she moaned, her head thrown back. With that you added another finger before slowly starting to pump the digits inside her.

You could feel her getting closer and closer to her orgasm as you felt her walls start to contact around your fingers. “Cum for me Brienne '' you moaned between breaths and with that one command she was coming undone around your fingers. You continued your pace as she rode out her orgasm. A moaning mess beneath you before slowing down and removing yourself from her. She whimpered at the loss of contact but then smirked to herself before flipping you back onto your back so she could repeat the process to you.

Brienne wasted no time with you. Removing your pants she could see how wet you were just from getting off from pleasuring her. She moaned when she saw the sight between your legs starting to suck on your clit. “Brienne!” You moaned at the sudden contact on your clit. You bucked your hips into her mouth as she then placed her hands on you to keep you steady. There was no teasing with this woman. She just wanted you to come over and over again. You could feel yourself getting closer and closer before finally releasing the ache inside as you came. She didn’t stop though. The sucking of your clit was replaced by two fingers being shoved deep inside you. She pumped hard and fast, keeping eye contact with you as you felt yourself getting closer to another orgasm. “Brienne I can’t!” You moaned feeling very overstimulated! “You can and you will y/n” she moaned, placing her tongue back on your clit. Brienne felt your walls contact around her fingers. “Cum for me y/n” and with that you were coming undone once again.

You threw your head back still moaning between breaths trying to get your breathing under control. Brienne made her way back up to your face kissing you deeply tasting yourself on her lips. You moaned slightly at the contact before cuddling up to her. “Thank you Brienne! I loved every minute of this. Maybe we could do this some more until we get to Kings Landing” Brienne smiled but deep down she was hiding her pain “Yh we definitely can” she said knowing that this would be the last time. With that you both cuddled up into each other before letting the sleep overcome you.

You woke up the next morning to an empty bed. You sat up to see Brienne sat across the room dressed and ready to get going. “Come on y/n. Get ready, we still have a way to go!” You smiled at the memory of last night. You get up walking over to Brienne sitting on her lap. You kiss her gently before pulling back and standing back up to full height. “Of course Brienne” you smirked before getting yourself dressed so your journey could continue. You couldn’t wait for tonight so you could repeat your actions from the night before.

You and Brienne mounted her horse and continued on your journey. At some point you fell asleep, arms wrapped around the tall beauty to keep you from falling off her horse. When you awoke your heart sank. You had arrived in Kings Landing and to make things worse you were already surrounded by the King's guards! Brienne helped you down from the horse before the men walked over to you grabbing your arms and starting to pull you away from Brienne and to the dungeons.

“GET OFF ME!” You screamed fighting against them.

END FLASHBACK -

You couldn’t bare to think much further. You were hurt. You felt betrayed by her. You would have thought that after everything that she may have changed her mind. That you could have run away together. I guess the feeling was one sided this whole time. You felt used and all alone. By the time you had thought back on your time together the sun had set and you were surrounded by darkness. You were cold and hungry and the only thing you wanted was to be in Brienne’s arms even after everything that happened. You sobbed to yourself as you tried to let sleep overcome you.

When you finally did fall asleep you were awoken by a sudden commotion outside of your cell. You sat immediately. You heard fighting and then silence. The door to your cell swung open to reveal Brienne covered in blood and panting heavily. “Brienne, are you ok? Are you hurt?” You asked her, panicking.

“I'm fine” she said as she ran over to you trying to unchain you from your cell. “I’m sorry y/n! I shouldn’t have given you over. I love you!” She said gazing deep into your eyes. You let a loan sob leave your mouth. “I love you too Brienne” you said, kissing her deeply. “Come on. We need to go. It won’t be long before word has spread that you have escaped and I have helped” she said, grabbing your hand and running out of your cell and to her horse.

“Where will we go?” You asked as you mounted her horse, Brienne jumping on after you instructing her horse to run in the direction of the gates. “To castle black. We need to keep moving though. It won’t take long for them to catch us. We need to avoid the kings roads so it will take us a couple of months at least before we reach castle black.” You wrapped your arms around her breathing in her scent. “We are in this together Brienne. No matter what happens as long as I’m with you we will be ok.”

The journey would be long and tough but with Brienne by your side you knew that all would be ok.
