Welcome to Litsy!

Jaime feels the guilt of his fathers death. He hasn‘t seen Varys since helping Tyrion escape. When he went to question the undergaolers they were all killed by the Kingsguard at Cersei‘s behest.
Cersei comes to see him in The Great Sept & She pleads with him to be Hand & they can rule like King &Queen. He declines.
Still upset with her, but he gives Cersei advice on handling Mace Tyrell, but it means rushing Margaery &Tommens wedding

Jaime watches Tommen sign royal papers- decree of legitimacy for Roose Bolton‘s bastard & Jeyne‘s royal pardon included- but is preoccupied by thoughts of training with his left hand
Then meets “Arya”,off to marry Ramsay Bolton
The Mountain is suffering from the poison on Oberyn‘s spear
Cersei tries to manipulate him
He goes to Brienne with a gift &for his last chance at honor, sends her to find Sansa
He writes his story, the ending up to him

Jaime questions the Kingsguard on if they think Tyrion committed the murder. Loras names Sansa instead, saying she would have reason to kill Margaery as well. Jaime tells Boros to be Tommen‘s food taster which doesn‘t sit well with him. He puts Meryl in his place for beating Sansa as well. Jaime confronts Loras about Renly‘s ghost, it was his brother Garlan, plot devised by Littlefinger. Then he dissuades Loras against his revenge on Brienne

Jaime is told the recent events &thinks again of how his life could be without the lies.They‘ve reached KingsLanding but Brienne has no way to fulfill her vow
At the castle Ser Loras confronts Brienne about Renly‘s death. Jaime stops him but she is arrested
He goes to see Cersei &he brings up making their relationship known, she doesn‘t want to
He meets Tywin who has plans, Jaime to go to Casterly Rock w/Tommen &be wed to Margaery. Jaime says no

Jaime leaves with his escorts for KingsLanding. Vargo still wants his sapphires for Brienne‘s ransom. Jaime tells himself he doesn‘t care. then wonders how much Tywin will pay for him- a knight with no hand
He dreams of his family leaving him in a dark cavern with Brienne, confronted by his past
He insists he left something at Harrenhal, they go back, but Brienne is already in the bear pit. He jumps in, defending her &archers take out the bear

With Brienne in the bathhouse.He tells how he came to be Kingslayer;Tywin had come for war, Aerys was to burn the city &the people to leave nothing for him &orders Jaime to bring him Tywin‘s head
Caught up in the tale, he bangs his stump &passes out Brienne catches him, she‘s strong but gentler than Cersei
Then they appear before Roose Bolton&discuss Jaime‘s fate. Bolton will send him home ..for his own reasons. But Vargo will still want sapphires

Jaime‘s hand is cut off &on a cord around his neck. Jaime makes an effort to steal a sword, brandishing it with his left hand, hoping the captors killed him. Brienne talks him through his misery, he decides he‘s more than a sword hand. Brienne isn‘t raped bc Jaime has convinced Vargo Hoat she‘s worth a bag of sapphires. Brienne pleads at Harrenhal, but she‘s missed a lot while they were in the woods. But they are released & injuries seen to

Jaime pesters Brienne as they ride. He thinks of marrying Cersei, &sending Sansa home. They are attacked by bowman, Brienne is injured, Cleos killed. Jaime takes Cleos sword &attacks Brienne. She pulls her punches but he realizes her strength as he is knocked in the river. The Bloody Mummers find them. They are both beaten &Jaime anticipates worse for Brienne. Lord Vargo wants to send the Lannisters a message, Jaime doesn‘t see the arakh coming

At an inn they are confronted by a boy with a crossbow who asks “Lion, fish or wolf?” Brienne has silver &they are offered hospitality. Brienne trades 3 gold coins &the skiff for horses, Jaime is agreeable to her plan if only to get out of chains. That night, she asks him why he took the oath only to turn on Aerys. He was to be paired off with Lysa &did it to stay near Cersei. He dreams of how he killed Aerys, who had ordered him to kill Tywin.
