A fusion of Ice and Fire with
Grimm's tale "The Twelve Huntsmen"
and
Shakespearean romantic comedy
Jaime Lannister has been squired at Evenfall Hall on Tarth, raised along with his best friend Brienne of Tarth and developing the start of something more than friendship.
All of this changes with the arrival of a raven from Casterly Rock. Lord Tywin is gravely ill, and the Lannisters' personal maester says there is no hope.
Cue Jaime on his ailing father's bedside. Racked with pain and ablaze with fever, the Lannister patriarch informs his heir of the arranged marriage and upcoming double wedding with Oberyn and Elia of Dorne, whose portraits he has received, before breathing his last. This is more than just a promise.
A raven is sent to Brienne, informing her of Jaime's wedding to a complete stranger. Resolved, she makes it to the Westerlands, where no one knows "he" is actually female. Not even the Dornish, who follow her on board from Sunspear all the way to Casterly Rock. Oberyn is bisexual, and he thinks Brienne is a very attractive young chap, becoming even more infatuated when scorned... making his paramour Ellaria fall pray to the green-eyed monster...
Misinformation ensues as the Maid becomes a captain in the Lannister guard. And Cersei is determined never to lose her brother, whether to a Dornishman (how dashing he might be) or to an upstart officer. Especially after discovering said officer's secret. She tries to convince Jaime of something he already knows, while trying to reveal to all of Casterly Rock, the newly-arrived Dornish entourage included, of Brienne's real gender by strewing dried peas on the floor, showing the Maid jewelry and weapons... attempts that disastrously fail, all of them.
When Brienne suddenly has a riding accident, truths will be unveiled, a marriage broken up and another made up, misunderstandings will be cleared...
