Narrative:
Aircraft #1 was deviating around WX nebound. Turned northbound to get on course. Aircraft #2 was climbed by ZJX to FL400 with aircraft #1 turning into aircraft #2. I took the initiative to turn aircraft #1 30 degrees right to avoid climbing aircraft #2. Without turn; targets were likely to merge. Giant killer had released aircraft #1 for climb.
