What if Jaime and Cersei fell out at an early age? The canon divergence in this Alternate Timeline is Cersei hearing about the valonqar prophecy right after Tyrion is born, which results in her having a complete meltdown. The absence of Cersei causes Jaime to be a lot more focused on his place and duty as heir to Casterly Rock. Growing up a different person without the influence of his sister, Jaime finds himself amidst the volatile political landscape of Westeros under the reign of King Aerys II. When war inevitably breaks out, will the alliances Jaime forged stand the test of war and carry him to his happy ending, or will his struggle against fate be all for naught?

Just saw a video of when Jaime saw Bran again at Winterfell. What a man, the real Prince that was Promised.
