Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth: The Only Game of Thrones Ship That Truly Matters

Updated on June 15, 2016 at 1:00 AM

As another season of Game of Thrones winds down, we're turning our attention to one of the most important aspects of the show. No, we're not talking about next week's epic battle. We're not referring to the legendary Cleganebowl or Daenerys's potential prophetic role. We're talking about the undeniable sexual chemistry between Ser Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth. It's so obvious, in fact, that even Bronn was like, "They're f*cking, right?" To help add fuel to the fire, we're going back to where it all started.

Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth: The Only Game of Thrones Ship That Truly Matters

Once upon a time, there lived a fair maiden (Jaime Lannister) and a knight in shining armor (Brienne of Tarth).

At first, they were enemies. They despised each other.

They often engaged each other in fights, both with words and with swords.

Eventually, though, they overcame their feelings and got closer.

Like literally, they got very, very close.

They told each other secrets about their past grievances.

Even Jaime couldn't help but open up.

Things got steamy, and naked. But, well, not in the way we'd all hoped.

Even so, we yearned.

As time went on, the bond only grew stronger, and the love only grew more palpable.

And when Brienne found herself in truly dire straights . . .

. . . Jaime saved her life.

Ever since then, their love has been undeniable.

It's so obvious to, like, everyone. Like, look at the love in her eyes.

Even Cersei was like, "I know that look, you trifling little . . . "

Time and time again, they've been forced to bid each other farewell . . .

. . . But we know their love will carry them through, no matter what.

And it will only grow stronger!

And just like Oathkeeper, Jaime's heart only belongs to one person.

So, while they may have gone their separate ways yet again . . .

. . . It's only a matter of time before fate brings them back together.
