Perhaps Cersei was right, and every ounce of sense and bravery Jaime possessed was lost with his hand. Sansa Stark is my last chance for honor. He really said that to her? Brienne latched onto the sentiment like a hunting hound to the scent of its quarry.
Before dawn, Jaime rises from his bed, wide awake and with a sense of renewed purpose.
I’m going to go with her.

Brandon was held prisoner throughout Robert’s Rebellion and became Lord of Winterfell after the war. At Robert's urging, Ned stayed in King's Landing and joined the Kingsguard. But he hadn't imagined Robert would be such a poor king, nor had he predicted how badly his oaths would chafe.
Certainly, he never expected he'd begin to sympathize with the Kingslayer. Ned/Jaime

"Father, Uncle Ned says that the King will be here soon." Jon Snow stood in the doorway, already washed and dressed for the royal arrival. Even the pup's fur was fluffed. The white fur showed dirt more than his siblings, so the Lady of Winterfell had reminded them to make sure it was clean. As a sigil of their house, the direwolf pups couldn't run around covered in mud like common dogs.
Jon Snow stood there, nearly identical to Benjen and a man grown, 17 on his next name day. The expression on his face was that of the disapproving parent rather than the son. It was like this more and more as Jon grew up, convinced of his own wisdom, and of his father's enduring foolishness.
"I'm getting up," he said, blowing out an irritated breath as he threw the furs off, gently shoving Ghost off of his pillows.
Benjen/Jaime, AU where Benjen claims Jon as his bastard son rather than taking the black. I really, really liked the Catelyn-Benjen relationship in this.

If the gods were going to take him away from Cersei and everything he’d known, bind him to a boy half his age, Jaime almost would have preferred it if Robb Stark had been a fool, had been as dull and self-righteous as his father. Seven hells, he could at least have been ugly. Jaime/Robb, soulmate AU

Robb leaves marks. No matter what they do, how they do it, Robb always leaves a mark - bruises usually, from the harsh grip of his sword-practiced hands, or the nibbling and sucking of his soft, maidenly lips, or the graze of his growing stubble. He rarely breaks the skin. Theon stares in the mirror, examining the messy purple splotches contaminating his jawline, his throat, his collarbone, nothing like the firm straight line Robb's lord father would leave. Robb/Theon

When Jaime Lannister captures Robb Stark and drags him back to King's Landing, he expects praise. His father, seeing an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, has other ideas. Jaime/Robb canon divergence + forced marriage
