Thanks to hoopznyoyo, Princess Rosalind of Underland, Nathanoy25, RhaenaTargaryen for reviews of the previous chapter! :)
Thank you to the 2 clueless guests as well for the comment boost! I never leave negative or insulting logged-in comments except on fics of users who have been rude or nasty to me first. Actually haven't even done that in months cause haven't had any issues as of late - so no clue what you're even talking about! Guessing you're a certain someone who has harassed me for the past year, if so get a life and get over the fact that I exposed your bad behavior. And also reviews, where you use the name of someone I know, will not be approved when I know it's not them.
Edit: It didn't seem to send the email notifying people about this chapter the first time, so deleting and reuploading it. Hope this works. I've noticed lately this site doesn't send emails when supposed to.
"Father?" Jaime said in shock.
Tywin Lannister was laying down in front of a large wheel. He looked filthy, his face coated with blood and feces, and pus oozed from his numerous open sores. The pants he was wearing were stained with shit and piss. His shirt was somehow soaked with sweat even though the intense heat should have dried it instantly,
Jaime stood there not knowing what to say or do. Tywin begged for his help. All of his Lannister pride seemed gone. Jaime almost felt pity. Almost.
Then he remembered all of his father's various sins. Against Cersei. Against Tyrion. Against many other innocents.
He remembered Tywin's abuse of Tyrion their whole life. He remembered Tywin's blame towards him for their mother's death. He remembered the whole Tysha incident. He remembered the trial where he had plotted to have him sent away forever.
He remembered how Tywin had coldly ordered the deaths of Rhaenys and Aegon. Two young sweet children. Jaime still had nightmares about it.
Worst of all, he remembered all the times Cersei cried because she wasn't allowed to play with swords. He remembered Cersei's forced marriage to Robert. Sure, she had wanted it at the time, but even had she not Tywin would have forced it. He remembered that even being Queen-mother hadn't been enough for Tywin. He'd wanted to force Cersei into yet another marriage to secure access to the Tyrell fortune.
Fuck Tywin Lannister. It was Tywin who got him into this mess in the first place. Jaime knew he would not have been so damn prideful if it hadn't been for Tywin's attitude and teachings. He doubted he would have ended up in one of the seven heavens but perhaps he would have ended up in the same hell as Cersei. At least then they would be together. He would rather be with her in hell than without her in heaven anyway. He would have even destroyed heaven to get back to her if they would have dared put him there. Tywin Lannister mattered not. Father or not, Cersei was his only priority. Tywin's presence would just slow him down in his journey. So he simply turned and walked away, leaving Tywin to his suffering.
Was anyone expecting it to be him?
