Summary: “Why not a hook, though?” Brienne said, and Jaime followed her gaze to the golden hand covering his stump. He paused, and she added, “It’s pretty, but it’s not much use, is it?"
Recommendation: I'm almost embarrassed by how much I love the stories where Tywin approves of Brienne. He's a bastard and I don't like him but for some reason, I love it when the whole world seems to think Jaime's nuts for picking Brienne and Tywin's just "very good, best daughter-in-law ever". I also love how badass Brienne is in this one, she's badass usually but I just feel it's presented to best effect here. Oh, and sly Sansa, gotta love her too.
