Welcome to Litsy!

Jaime meets with Ser Brynden. He deflects questions about Cat‘s girls. Jaime offers to exchange Edmure for the Westerlings, which is rejected. Things escalate, but Jaime leaves with nothing
Further plotting devolves between the Freys &former Stark allies
Jaime &Payne approach Edmure at the gallows which rousts Ser Ryman. But they only cut him down. Jaime has him clean &fed &imparts the reality of what they will do if Riverrun is not surrendered.

Ser Daven Lannister arrives. Siege continues at Riverrun. Daven has a marriage contract with a Frey, Lancel has recently broken his to take his vows
Edmure‘s wife is pregnant, once born Freys will have a Tully heir.The Blackfish still has Jeyne Westerling. They have not attacked because Lord Emmon doesn‘t want HIS castle damaged. But new ally Gawen Westerling wants his family rescued
Jaime realizes siege needs to end &will treat with the Blackfish

They reach Darry which Lancel has claimed.however they are not immediately greeted by Kevan (who left) or Lancel (who is praying). There are many Freys there &he hears of the hanging & trap set by the outlaws.
Rumors of what the Hound did at Saltpans abounds, but Jaime doesn‘t believe it
The sparrows attempt to stop him from entering the sept, but Lancel welcomes him. Having found his faith, he confesses poisoning Robert…. & laying with Cersei.

Jaime is to go to Harrenhal,Cersei dismisses his vow not to battle Starks or Tullys&his request that Loras lead the Kingsguard while he‘s gone
Tyrion‘s words ring in his head
He travels with Ilyn Payne, Addam Marbrand & a dozen others, Jaime spars with Payne -learning to fight lefthanded
Harrenhal has no leadership since the Hound killed Polliver.It‘s a horror. Ser Bonifer will restore order
Jaime gets his chance to fight when Brienne is insulted

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
