Obviously Nikolaj did not write a play solely based off of Jaime and Brienne but the similarities are too good to be true. I went in with no spoilers (except knowing they would be married) and besides how similar the leads are to Jaime and Brienne, the entire time I kept thinking his past sounds like a modern J/C spin. Then, I come online afterwards to find out other people noticed the same thing. By looking at the similarities you can’t blame people for turning it into a joke that he unintentionally wrote a Jaime x Brienne modern AU fanfic :P
So here we go:
H40+1 with Jaime and Brienne parallels
- Nik’s character was in love as a teenager (Jaime and Cersei)
- The parents of his ex (Joanna and Tywin) did not approve of their relationship and forbid them to be together
- He got his ex-lover (Cersei) pregnant (Joffrey)
- His ex-lover at one point told him to leave… so he did (AFFC).
- He eventually moved on and fell in love with Sarah (Brienne)
- Years into their marriage Sarah developed insecurities (my poor bb Brienne) and became paranoid about his relationship with his past lover (what I assume Brienne would be feeling about his past with Cersei)
- The ex did not allow Nik’s character to be a father to his son (Jaime not being allowed to father his children, the difference being Harry didn’t even know)
- The son did not know his biological father (Jaime’s children do not know he’s the father)
- Gwen’s character had a deep respect for her father and he was a big part of her life (Brienne and Selwyn’s relationship)
- Sarah (Brienne) and Harry (Jaime) bicker over every little fucking thing, Harry makes fun of Sarah, Sarah insults Harry, Harry doesn’t take things as seriously as he should, Sarah gets a little too serious, and Harry intentionally says shit to get under her skin. But then by the next second they are saying and doing things that show how much they care for one another (…………………………)
- And last but not least THE PEOPLE WHO PLAYED HARRY AND SARAH ARE THE SAME EXACT PEOPLE WHO PLAY JAIME AND BRIENNE AND NIK EVEN HAND PICKED GWEN TO PLAY THAT ROLE JFC THANK YOU NIKOLAJ AND THANK YOU FOR FILLING THE OTP BLIND PROMPT I REBLOGGED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO
oh and another: Harry’s son with his ex died as a teenager.
