The first thing they do after they get married is look for a house to buy.

At the moment, they both live in Cersei's small apartment in Lannisport, much too close to their taste of Casterly Rock and their father, no, not their father, Tywin Lannister is not, is no longer their father.

This is rather uncomfortable, even if they don't care, but the thing that bothers them the most is that they cannot welcome Tyrion and offer him to stay the night with them without forcing him to sleep on the floor.

No, definitely, the apartment in Lannisport is too small, unsuitable for their needs.

They have to find something else, something that both of them like, that will be theirs alone and where they can live in peace and quiet, or even propose to their brother to come and live with them.

They spend a lot of time searching for this, but they struggle to find something to satisfy their desires.

It is too small, too big, too expensive, too old, too damaged, too close, too far, too dilapidated.

But one night, while Jaime and Cersei are once again busy with their research, each in front of their laptops, Jaime finally comes across something that might suit them.

He calls out to her, with a big smile on his face, like a kid on Christmas Day.

Cersei, come and see.

She approaches, leans over her shoulder, looks at the screen in turn, and sees what her husband is talking about.

On the site of the estate agency, she sees a medium-sized house, made of whitewashed stone with a slate roof.

Jaime turns his head towards it, looks at it.

She looks at him in turn, smiles at him, they know, it's okay, they found it, it's this one, it's their house.

Tyrion accompanies them when they go to visit it.

The three of them leave by car, the trip is long, the house is on the outskirts of Port Real, the capital of Westeros, but without being in the middle of the city, but he passes by quickly, they talk, talking about everything and nothing, as he used to do all night long when they still lived in Casterly Rock.

When they arrive, the impression they had is confirmed.

The house does not look like Casterly Rock, the house of their childhood.

Here there are no oversized rooms, no long, endless corridors, no high windows, so high that you think you can see everything from the inside, no private beach where the waves come crashing against the rocks.

Here, the rooms are small but warm, the windows are just wide enough to let the light through and there is no beach, only an orchard with apple trees full of blood red fruits.

It looks nothing like Casterly Rock, but that's exactly what they want.

After visiting the interior, while Tyrion continued his little tour, Jaime led Cersei into the orchard, where they could finally be quiet and discuss what they were going to do.

He put his arm under hers, walking with her between the trees:

''So, do you like it?''

Cersei's green eyes glowed with excitement as she looked at him, a big smile on her lips:

''Yes, I love it. That's exactly what I wanted.''

Jaime smiled back.

''Good. So we're in agreement then ?''

"We're in agreement.''

Jaime stopped, and picked an apple from the nearest tree, having to jump to the lowest branch of the apple tree to catch the ripe fruit.

He handed it to Cersei, who bit once inside. Before she could do it again, Jaime took the apple out of her hand and took a bite of the fruit.

Then he drew her towards him, and kissed her, the taste of the apple still on their lips, soft, sweet, like their dreams that were coming true.
