Game of Thrones Imagines

The ties that bind - Part 1 - Jaime x Reader

So, if any of you read my imagine 'Love again' I gave you a glimpse of what could happen when Jaime left the woman he married and never returned; but I have decided to look from the other aspect, and show what could happen if he did. This is a lot more angst than I normally write, but I hope you enjoy 🦁✋

Jaime sat in Jon's rooms, Jon still unable to believe that his sister's husband was alive, never mind in his rooms at Castle Black. When he had left (Y/n) to return to be by Cersei's side, neither Jon nor (Y/n) thought that they would ever see him again; and when they had heard that the twins were dead, the possibility of (Y/n) ever seeing the man she once thought loved her, was lost completely.

Jon had expected his sister to weep when she had heard Jaime had died, but (Y/n) had already done her grieving long before his death, and made it more than abundantly clear to her brother that she no longer cared whether Jaime Lannister was alive or dead.

Normally Jon would have been shocked by his sisters coldness, a coldness that was in complete contrast to her usual warm and loving nature; but he had seen the after effects of Jaime's abandonment, seen what (Y/n) had gone through, and he couldn't say that he blamed her.

The only thing that had (Y/n) had left to prove that she had ever even known the Kingsguard, was a beautiful blonde haired boy with deep green eyes that she had named Jayrion for his father and uncle, a boy that she would do anything for.

"Do you think that she will see me?" Jaime asked nervously, as he got to his feet and began to pace the floor.

"I'm not even sure that I want to see you, never mind let you see (Y/n). Do you have any idea what you did to her, any idea what she went through when you left? I am surprised I didn't lose her when she had .........." Jon began angrily, only stopping when he realised that he might have already let (Y/n)'s secret slip.

Jaime had left (Y/n) before she had chance to tell her husband that she was with child. Her pregnancy had been long and hard, she had been sick for most of it, and Jon could swear that she was going to die; but just like him she was tougher than she looked, and with his help, and the help of Tyrion, she had pulled through.

"I don't know what to say. I..........I want nothing more than to make up for what I've done. I just hope.............." Jaime began to explain, only stopping as a small boy rushed into the room, squealing happily as he was chased by an older boy.

"Uncle Jon." The boy exclaimed with a giggle, as he hid under Jon's cloak, the older boy prowling around the pair as both Jon and Jaime looked at the two boys in confusion.

"Gunik says that he's a Walker, and that he is going to get me. But I said that you would save me." The little blonde boy said, laughing as he looked out at Gunik from between Jon's legs.

"Of course, I will protect you Jayrion." Jon declared with a chuckle, reaching for a stick that he kept by his chair, pretending to stab the older boy with it. The Lord Commander forgetting all about Jaime who continued to watch on, his eyes focused on the little boy that now sat triumphantly on the "dead" Gunik's stomach.

"See. I told you Uncle Jon could defeat any Walker." Jayrion announced, as Jon helped both boys to their feet.

"Jayrion. Where is your mother?" Jon asked, suddenly remembering that Jaime was there. The shocked look on the lion's face not going unnoticed by Jon as he continued to stare at Jayrion.

"Mother is with Uncle Tyrion." Jayrion explained, looking between his uncle and the other older man in the room.

"Uncle Jon. Who's that?" Jayrion whispered. The little boy hiding behind Jon's chair as Jaime moved forward.
