![]() ![]() It was the first year she was on his rec soccer team. She and Robb barely knew each other when she got it. Everyone she has mentioned it to since then has been less kind. He never made her feel like she didn’t deserve a soulmark, though she still remembers his surprise when she told him that she had one. He will probably one day tell her that every woman is awkward at thirty. He said that every girl is awkward and ungainly at eight, and ten, and thirteen. He told her that she would grow into her looks. ![]() Her father had been kind when she was younger. Most people probably don’t even remember she has one. Brienne’s has been around since she was eight. His best friend Sam Tarly yelped aloud in chemistry three weeks ago when a symbol appeared on the inside of his wrist. ![]() Her closest friends, Robb and Sansa, both got theirs in their respective first years of high school. She got hers earlier than most of her peers. īy the time she’s a junior in high school, the soul mark is old news. She stands in her bathroom mirror and holds the handheld one up, angling it just right so she can see the sword. There’s a red gem in the center of the hilt. It almost looks like firelight being cast over it. It’s almost gold, and it sparkles in the light from her bathroom. She has to do some creative yoga with a handheld mirror to see it, and she does it often, just wanting to be reminded. Can you tell what kind of love it will be by the placement of the mark? If you get the mark early, does that mean you’ll meet your soulmate soon? If it’s black and white, does that mean your soulmate will die? There’s evidence supporting every argument, and there are exceptions to every assertion, and the whole thing is such a mess that most people don’t even care about soulmarks anymore – there’s also a whole industry devoted to removing them.īrienne doesn’t go looking for guidance she doesn’t want to know. It’s on her left shoulderblade, just out of reach.Įveryone’s soulmarks are different, though there’s a whole industry devoted to “experts” arguing back and forth about what it all means. One of her soccer teammates spots it when she’s wearing a tank top at practice. Jon Snow somehow exists, but Aerys Targaryen was a senior when Jaime was a freshman?). Also, I've done some odd things with generations (i.e. Arya and Bran are at some vague middle school age, and let's stick Rickon in elementary school. It should be stated that most of the characters are juniors (Brienne, Robb, Jon, Theon, the Lannisters, etc) except for Sansa, Margaery, and Tyrion, who are all sophomores. Their high school structure is all based on America, too, because I barely remember enough about my own high school experience to write an accurate fic, so I'm certainly not going to tackle a school system I'm even less familiar with. Do the soulmarks even matter beyond giving Cersei a reason to hate Brienne? Not really! Is Cersei a horrible person in this even though she's my favorite female GOT character? You bet! I never manage to edit down, so it'll probably end up being 30k instead. I had a thought of making a soulmark high school AU one-shot, and my rough draft is currently 25k.
