    Chapter 8:

    ::fans self::

    I'm just going to borrow Tormund and Clegane for a bit, if you don't mind. Well, maybe for more than a bit... That was amazingly delicious, and perfectly done. I think Brienne now has a far better idea of what she can expect, and really, I'm quite jealous!

    As scrumptious as the smut was, the morning was even better, I will admit. This bond of theirs hasn't changed who any of them are, nor has it turned them into a perfect trio. It would be jarring if it had, so waking up struck the exact right note for me. And Brienne finding it in her to tease them? Absolutely perfect, and just as right, since we've seen her wry humor peek out from time to time, long before this.

    My only regret is not having anything more to read... yet! ::hugs fiercely:: You are bloody marvelous, and one of the best storytellers I've ever known.

    Thank you so much! :D

    Yeah, I think they fulfilled their objective. She won’t be forgetting that night in a hurry. But there’s lots more for them all to do, and lots for her to learn. While all this is going on, I’ll be subtly advancing the plot. You might notice certain little bits here and there. Jon Snow might get a couple of little cameos of his own soon. Maybe even before Tyrion does. I’m afraid those bits might come off as sheer author manipulation on my part, but I’ll try my best to make them seem… plausible. But I want something in particular to happen. First, I want to really annoy Clegane, just because he’s hilarious when he’s fucked off. Then, I want to give him the best present he’s ever had in his entire life, and I don’t mean Brienne. I hope he’ll appreciate it. He’s already expressed a wish for it in canon. Well, tv canon at least.

    Brienne teasing? Well, I think I had to let her, after the way they were both going on when they woke up. She thought it was hilarious, though somehow I don’t think they’ll fall for the same trick twice, so she’ll have to get quite creative if she wants to keep that up.

    Thank you… you’ve literally made my day. I am walking on air here! :wub: 

    Next chapter: Before the fight scene, Clegane and Brienne eat breakfast to win. Seriously.

    Chapter 7:

    Massage... yum... 

    It's brilliant how Tormund knew exactly the right way to show Brienne his words were never meant to hurt. She knew it, on the surface, but he made her see it deep inside, where it matters, and I quite enjoyed how he managed to do the same for Clegane as well. And it's so in keeping with Tormund, too, so perfectly like him. He's far more astute than he ever lets on, that one.

    Brienne seemed to hint at some darker things, too, as if she had been led on, and then made to believe the ensuing rejection was her doing, her clumsiness, her fault. Well,, at least that's how I read it, and if so, I wonder if she will tell her lovers this. I'll have to read on...

    (And I will confess I'm enjoying having all these chapters to read at once. It's utterly delicious!)

    Thank you! :bounce:

    I really wanted this to work. Tormund wouldn’t let that pass – not at all. I see him as very astute as well. He sees a lot, and says very little about it. When it matters, I think he’s very capable of sorting out a great deal of trouble. And not just by ‘being good at killing people’ though he is quite good at that as well, clearly. It’s not Jon Snow who rescues the wildlings from the white walkers, really… it’s Tormund. He is the one who really convinces them. After that, convincing both Brienne and Clegane that the opinions of a bunch of dickheads are worth precisely nothing… piece of cake.

    As for Brienne, I watched and rewatched that scene where she confessed what happened at that ball to Pod, when she told him what Renly did, and she’s lived a lot of her life since then. I feel like even though she felt as though Renly saved her from it, he didn’t challenge it enough, and it would have set in her psyche. You can hear it in her when she speaks: “… and I knew then that I was...” *sighs* Poor Brienne. All this time, every snicker, every jeer. Just imagine. She’s hardened herself to it, sure. But only by believing in it and making a conscious decision not to care, if that makes sense. By breaking that belief, she’s being made vulnerable, and that’s frightening for her. It means that not only can they hurt her, but the world outside can too. I’m not sure how this will play out further down the line, if at all. Time will tell, I suppose. It depends how well they build up her confidence in those particulars. For the record, I personally think Brienne is beautiful, and I so would. Although, sadly, I suspect that like Clegane, she’d kill me soon as look at me. Oh, woe... *giggles*

    I’m really glad you’re still enjoying it, even the massive chapter dump. I’m afraid they are going to slow soon. I’m coming up to another one of those fight scenes. They’re outside right now – practising, with an astonishing relaxed, sexually satisfied Brienne.

    They’re lucky right now, I suppose. Just wait until they’re out there facing sexually frustrated Brienne. I don’t think they have a clue what’s going to hit them when that arrives. *gulps*

    Chapter 6:

    Ah, a little exploring, and a little friction, both good and not so good. It was to be expected, though. What they're building is delicate, and delicacy isn't something any of them excel at, is it? But I have great faith the next chapter will see them sorting it out a bit. Of course Tormund would have no way of knowing about Brienne's past...

    And off to indulge in more wonderfulness!

    Thank you, again! :hug:

    I know I’m kind of knocking these chapters out, and I’m not poring over them for days at a time, debating word choices, sorting out my sentence fragments and such. I’m a bad writer at times. But I’m happy to writing something at the moment to be honest – anything, really. One of the things I love, though, is character. Go with character, and the story will follow most of the time. I don’t just want to write porn with the names changed. I want to write Clegane, Brienne and Tormund. I want to write the silly bits that apply to them in particular. I want to write the bits that other people don’t usually write, the bits that happen to real people, that happen to rest of the human race. I want these characters to be real, at least for as long as I’m looking at the page with them on. I want them to be human. I want them to exist. And then I want them to have it off with each other while I chronicle it. I hope, however fast and obsessively I crank the chapters out, that comes across.

    Your reviews always make me feel like I’ve succeeded at that. Thank you. :wub:

    Chapter 5:

    Mm, delicious, this one. I like the bond between them, and I really like how Clegane is seeing his way through this. It's a dangerous dance, though, and I think they all know it. Whenever gods get involved, it ends badly, and the Lord of Light is worse than most.

    But the moment between Clegane and Tormund, now that was sublime!

    And then: "All at once, he admitted to himself that he loved her, and straight away, that he'd never loved her more than in that moment."

    Right. I love this story.

    Thank you! :)

    Oh, I shouldn’t worry. I’m gonna be rather cryptic here, and say that the Gods, or the Lord of Light, or whatever... really isn’t interested in whatever they do with their spare time, as it were. Which means that all the dirty shenanigans they get up to will need to be navigated almost entirely without divine guidance. If only Clegane knew, it would probably make him feel a whole lot better. Oh, well.

    It’s one of those things. I didn’t even know it was going to happen until I’d written it, and then I was like: “Ahh… ! Yes! That’s how it works!” And then I kind of laughed evilly… but, you know, away from the ordinary muses. Lest they suspect anything.

    Chapter 4:

    Oh, yes, Clegane's a mad bastard, no doubt at all. But I do think this was the only way he could resolve his feelings, and make sure Brienne wanted this. Words aren't his friends, but he understands battle, and so does Brienne, even if it's not quite the foreplay for her it is for Clegane.

    And even having seen this prior ro it being published, this chapter just works for me, so well. It fits them all, and I adore this trio.

    Thank you so much, Bronx! :)

    I’m so happy to see this, mostly because I know that it means things have calmed down for you now with Freyja, and everything is well, leaving you time to read, and to write, and all the good stuff life is made of. *hugs tightly*

    And I’m happy you liked it, and thank you so much for reading through it for me, since I was afraid I had lost my way a bit. Ah, I seem to have picked it up again since… must have got hidden in the snow for a moment *g*

    I thought, while writing this, if they could meet somewhere they understood each other, however slightly, it might be there. He thought so too. It’s not his fault he gets it all twisted like that. She’ll have to let it pass. I’m sure he’d kill me as soon as look at me for even thinking it, but I think it shows a teeny tiny bit of a romantic soul hidden away in there. I really do. ;)

    Chapter Seven

    Anyone who is reading – I hope you have fun!

    Got to admit, this is my favourite so far, because we’re finally getting to the adult stuff. Brienne’s a tough nut to crack for a start, and kind of dangerous when you get right down to it. Capable of getting herself into all kinds of trouble, as evidenced here, and then completely overreacting to said trouble. Luckily, I think she’s going to be all right with these two. Renly’s got nothing on these guys :)

    Now all I have to do is let the sexual tension rachet up several thousand notches over the next few chapters as the characters go about doing everything except that one thing, and Brienne slowly comes to realise she doesn’t actually GAF about “saving herself” because they’re all good together, and the two of them realise that neither of them want to be the one to do the bad thing. And Brienne can get in a bad mood with them in the day as well, and kick both their arses in training for not giving her what she wants, until…

    Tyrion cameo! Yes! :bounce:

    Actually, I don’t know if anyone is actually reading this anymore, but I just don’t care. I love writing it too much to stop for one minute. I love having Sandor Clegane in my head. His sense of humour is so dry you could make wildfire with it.

    Having said that, I am going to stop for some several minutes for a nap.

    Hmm… chapter five is interesting. I wasn’t expecting it, but I like it! Also because it foreshadows a little bit of the later Tyrion cameo scene, which I’ll probably be writing from Tyrion’s pov. Probably going to be done with chapter five in a couple of hours or so.

    And the interesting thing means the weird slash has resolved itself, thank you, Gods! :bounce:

    Someone moves into a new house. While waiting for their new wifi to be set up, they can’t help noticing that alongside all of their new neighbours’ locked wifi connections, there is an open connection with an innocent title. Maybe it calls itself “Free Wifi” or something. Maybe the person ignores it at first. So it gets creative. It changes its tag.

    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? (OPEN)

    JOIN THIS NETWORK (OPEN)

    WHILE YOU’RE WAITING FOR YOUR OWN WIFI TO BE SET UP (OPEN)

    Maybe it starts calling the person by name. Until, eventually, overcome and doomed by their own curiosity, they connect.

    What do they expect? The world to fall down? Did they use that less valuable laptop? The old one? You know the one, the one that it doesn’t matter if it gets compromised somehow? The one they never use for banking? Does it matter?

    They’re online. They can do all the usual things they do while online. They can read the news, go on twitter, talk to friends. They can view pornography. They can post any old filth that they want. Perhaps it’s surprising how quickly they trust this new connection, having run a couple of virus checkers and malware programs. There’s really nothing wrong with it. Maybe there’s something wrong with them.

    Possibly, they never actually made it to their new house, and their newly freed soul got lost somewhere on the way to the next place. The choices they make and the spaces they visit would determine which place that would be; heaven or hell.

    Obviously, I’m imagining it would be a lot more fun for the MC to be damned by themselves, but you could go the other way. It’s a microcosm (in a story) of the whole ‘free will’ thing, so you could make it as philosophical as you want, as satirical as you want, and clearly there’d be lots of lovely temptation going on left, right and centre that you could play with.

    Ok… this is, without a doubt, the weirdest slash I have ever written… :blink:

    In that it appears mainly to consist of Clegane and Tormund seeing exactly how much of it they can stand before they have to kill each other. Like, violently. Which won’t happen because neither one of them wants to be the first to “break” as it were.

    Weird…

    It’s probably a good job there’ll only be tiny bits of it. I reckon the true relationship here is bromance over Brienne. That’s what I’m hoping for, at any rate. :yes:

    ETA: Having thought about it, they’re happy enough to share Brienne, but they don’t want to share themselves with each other, because they’re kind of in competition at the moment. So it’s not the slash, per se, but the weakening of their position within the threesome. Neither of them wants to give way, not one bit. Maybe it’ll be worth seeing how it all pans out later when things are a bit more relaxed and settled. :)

    Gah… I think I might have to let this next chapter settle for a day or two, then look at it again. Chances are I might end up looking for a beta on this story. (I know, they’re like rocking horse shit)

    But, thing is:

    1. I am so rubbish at fight scenes, and this is really testing my limits.
    2. Something is not quite coming together, and I’m not sure what it is.

    In any 3plus story, there’s a hell of a lot of manouevreing into position that needs working on, and usually I enjoy all of that, but something isn’t quite right here. It’s not the fault of the characters. They’re definitely coming through loud and clear. I think maybe my powers of description are not quite up to it right now, sadly :( I keep ending up in that position where I have lots of dialogue, and I can see everything, but the actual shading in is a bitch. *sighs*

    I’ll give it a day or two.

      Well, things have certainly taken a turn for the interesting. 

      I'll be the first to say I might not have chosen to solve things in quite the same manner as Brienne, but the more you get inside Clegane's head, the more I understand the why of it. And really, it is true, isn't it? Tormund and Clegane see different sides of Brienne, prize different facets of her. I wonder how she sees herself right now...

      Bu this line: “No one ever listens to us wildlings. Hell has always been frozen over.” Have I mentioned how much I adore you? That's sheer brilliance, that is! 

      I'll be in the corner, purring and waiting for more. :D

    Thank you, Bronx! :hug:

    Oh, Brienne… I’ve got to say, without going the whole hog and writing from her point of view (which I might do, next chapter, having read this), she hasn’t really chosen anything. That reaction to Clegane was all about not allowing him to frighten her. No matter what it entailed doing, even if it meant touching him like that. He’d kind of backed her into a corner with his confession. Her thoughts on it ran along a well travelled path, just like a flow chart.

    1. How can I anticipate danger?
    2. How can I protect myself from it?
    3. Where is the power in this situation, and how do I get it?
    4. Do not show fear under any circumstances.

    In my original draft of the chapter, he said: “Are you frightened now?” but I changed it, because I felt it was a little bit too perfect to draw Brienne out, and I didn’t want Clegane cottoning on, lol.

    Aside from that, if our two boys think she’s on the same wavelength as they are, they’re sadly mistaken. She’s never thought of them in that way, and the only thing that’s turned her head is this new experience of pleasure, which has probably come as a bit of a surprise to her. And I’m talking about the kissing as well as the rest. If not more, actually… she’s really very happy with the kissing. That’s where she is, really. If Tormund does love her, he should start doing some of it.

    But, it occurred to me that she might also be quite easily seduced, especially if she doesn’t see it coming. She’s a traditionalist at heart, and a romantic, but I think she long ago realised she’s not “waiting” for anything, because nothing is going to come her way. Now it kind of has, against all the odds. And it’s not traditional, and it’s not exactly quite what she might dream of (Clegane has her number in that respect). I’m just not sure if she sees it for the rabbithole it is. Explore too far, and she will fall. Luckily for her, something is going to stop the boys from going all the way for a while. Something they end up seeing Tyrion about, which will be terribly amusing for him. And a great excuse for me to have Tyrion wandering around in my mental room of muses… yes! :bounce:

    Sorry for the long reply, but the review deserved it. You always leave such wonderful responses. :wub:

    Now I’m back at work for a few days, so updates will slow, I’m afraid.

    Seriously, this story is like that IX one… I have to possess it, and my pre-order is in too. I thought I’d have to wait until I get paid tomorrow, but they don’t charge for pre-orders until delivery… yes!

    Also, for UK peeps, the amazon uk link is here: Amazon UK

    So excited to read it again! In fact, I might have to find out all the the old beta docs, lol… I adored being your first test subject for this – it was so awesome! Mostly because I got to read every chapter before anyone else… :hug:

    For me it’s one of those stories. I’ll never forget it for as long as I live.

    Lol… I think she did that to deflect any piss-taking that she though Tormund might be engaging in. She really doesn’t believe it’s possible for anyone to want her that way. She’s got a shock coming. I’m hoping she’ll be curious enough, and forget herself for just long enough, to realise she needs something else in her life besides oaths and violence. Because I think Clegane could do with that, too.. *g*

    Here’s a question. Does Brienne masturbate? Or is she the kind of person who would consider that… a distraction? Really going to make all the difference, I think.

    Hmm.. I think I’m going to go with not. Because I can’t really see her taking time off from being Brienne of Tarth to do that and think about all the things she believe she can’t have. Like love. Or even sex (if she even could think in those terms). She just wouldn’t.
