7 Game Of Thrones Relationships We're Still Waiting For

3. Brienne And Jaime

Sure, Brienne and Tormund are cute together, and there is a lot of potential in exploring their future relationship. But Brienne and Jaime are just on a whole different level. More than any other pairing on the show, these two really seem to get each other. Although they didn't spend a huge amount of time together, they had incredible chemistry and went through so much together that would end up defining their characters. They're the classic example of a relationship turning from hate to begrudging respect to possibly something more, and we are 100% here for it.

Brienne inspires Jaime to be a better man (something he desperately needs in his life, as his moral compass seems to reboot every time he gets within a hundred miles or so of Cersei). Yes, he's still technically with his sister (gross), but it's also equally true that he hates himself for it. Who knows if they'll ever actually see one another again (and if they do, it won't be as the heads of two opposing armies) -- the tragedy of their relationship is that we may have to be satisfied with their sad little wave goodbye back at Riverrun. Brienne and Jaime 4ever.

Chances of this happening: As much as we would love it, Jaime seems bound for a tragic ending, and it's hard to imagine them finding time to make this ship a reality before they kill him off.
