''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23949679/ come on now, baby girl]]'' is a ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' / ''Series/GameOfThrones'' HighSchoolAU fanfic.
Jaime Lannister and Brienne Tarth join forces as an unlikely AmateurSleuth team to investigate the brutal murder of Jaime's sister [[BrotherSisterIncest and lover]] Cersei. Gradually, it gets clear that almost everyone around them has skeletons in the closets far worse than the Lannister twins' secret affair.
!! The fanfic contains examples of:
* AttemptedRape: Hyle Hunt and his buddies drug and attempt to gang-rape Brienne. She is saved by Jaime in the nick of time.
* FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo: [[spoiler:Melara]]'s son by [[spoiler:Rhaegar]] is raised as her little brother.
* MoralityPet: Unlike all his previous conquests, [[spoiler:Lyanna]] ''is'' [[LadykillerInLove special]] to [[spoiler:Rhaegar]] and he genuinely loves her and wants to start a family with her.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:Melara]] kills [[spoiler:Lyanna]] in the delusion it will bring [[spoiler:Rhaegar]] back to her.
* OperationJealousy: [[spoiler:Melara]] unsuccessfully attempts one on [[spoiler:Rhaegar]], pretending to publicly flirt with [[spoiler:Jaime]].
* RelationshipRevolvingDoor: Ned and Cat spend the whole fic breaking up and making up. Last time we see them, [[spoiler:the tragedy of Lyanna's death brings them together after what had seemed like a final breakup]].
* SequelHook: The fic ends as Jaime and Brienne prepare to investigate the crimes of [[spoiler:Aerys Targaryen]].
* SerialRapist:
** It turns out that the AttemptedRape of Brienne was one in a series. [[spoiler:Baelish pays Hyle Hunt and his cronies to gang-rape virgin girls and film it for his porn app]].
** Slightly downplayed with [[spoiler:Rhaegar Targaryen]], whose encounters with his lovers are technically consensual. However, considering [[spoiler:he is their teacher and they are underage]], it's still [[spoiler:statutory rape]].
* WhoMurderedTheAsshole: Cersei is such a thoroughly horrible person, being a serial cheater, blackmailer, and all-around bully, that just about ''everyone'' in the vicinity has a potential motive to kill her.
