      Like.... we get it, Jaime! We feel your pain! And maybe it's taken 84 years but Bang That Was Promised is surely coming.

      It’s crazy to think that the episode that included The Bang That Was Promised turned out to be the worst episode of the entire series, but here we are.

      As a good fic goes, it eventually turns into a kiss, then Jaime basically pulls Brienne through the hallways of Winterfell to her chambers. Brienne even states he has no idea where her rooms are, so then she has to lead him. All this lovely banter leads to the Bang That Was Promised and all other kinds of lovey things.
