Summary
Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.
[Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

Summary
He was scrawny, almost emaciated, shirtless, with jeans drooping off his hipbones. Filthy too, even more than everyone else here. His head was incongruously covered with a wool ski mask, hiding his hair and face. Stringy dark blond strands straggled out at the neck. His shoulders were broad; he had the look of a man who’d been strong once but was no longer. Most terribly, his right arm ended in a scarred stump just above where his wrist would have been.
“Shhh," said Brienne. She plucked at the ski mask. “Let’s get this thing off him. He looks like an incompetent bank robber. I’m surprised he can breathe.”
When it was off, she brushed the tangled hair away from his face and froze. He was unimaginably changed, and she knew him instantly. “Jaime?” she whispered. “Jaime? My God, what… what happened to you?”
In the distance, Creedence Clearwater Revival began to play “Bad Moon Rising.”
