    Summary

    They are alone now, the King and him, and it has not been the plan but yet here he is. Here is the King, sitting on his chair like it's a throne, arrogant self-assurance, and here is Henry, kneeling at his feet, helpless weakness. This has not been the plan.

    Summary

    While Lyonel Baratheon enjoys his candidly ill-advised affair with his student, Duncan Pennytree, what he enjoys less is knowing that there is another person that steals Dunk's attention away from him. Asking for forgiveness instead of permission from Lyonel about it though, goes horribly, horribly right for the both of them.

    Summary

    Pulling the signet ring from his own finger and pressing it into Dunk’s slack hand, then turning to face his brother and nephews, Baelor’s voice rang a challenge across the room. “I have made my choice. Ser Duncan the Tall is my man, and we will be handfasted as soon as the gods allow. Will you withdraw your grievance, Aerion, or will you meet me in a trial by combat on the tournament field for all to watch?"

    Or, to save Dunk from fighting in a Trial of Seven, and to save himself from the doom in Daeron's dream, Baelor offers to marry Dunk instead.

    Summary

    It did not matter what Aerys thought about the name. If it was the name of the person solely made to be Baelor's other half, then everything about them was for Baelor's sake. Not for Aerys', nor for his opinions. Dunk surely was the greatest, kindest, and most honourable person in the world.

    Names could be simple, names could be complex, names could be deceptive. The will of the Gods was not always so straightforward.

    Summary

    The pains came upon him in the early hours of the morning, while mist still blanketed the ground and the birds stayed quiet in their nests. A twinge in the gut, as if his bowels were twisting as they were wont to do before tourneys and talking with nobility. It was easy to ignore at first – Dunk was used to hurts. Smacks to the back of the head, hits to the jaw, aches and pains of training and cuts and broken bones. Pain was familiar, comforting even, in its frequency.

    Summary

    Dunk has two soul marks appear on his 18th name-day: one on his left arm and one on the back of his neck. It's known that your soul brand appears where your soulbound first touches you. But, being a commoner, Dunk was never educated on what his marks truly mean. Commoners aren't expected to meet their soulbound, so why waist time educating them on the subject.

    After the death of his ser, Dunk continues toward the tournament in hopes of finding glory as a knight. He finds a lot more than glory.

    Summary

    Dunk meant for Summerhall to be a brief stop; a quick return of a runaway prince before he took his sword to Storm's End.
    But he did not count on the walls of Summerhall starting to feel so much like home, or the way Prince Maekar’s gaze softens whenever Dunk enters the room, igniting a fire that no knight’s vow can easily douse.

    Summary

    Daeron dreams of a man. That, in of itself, is not a particularly unusual thing. He dreams of many a man - dead, dying, or burning.

    This dream is different. It doesn't smell like ash, but of freshly turned dirt, of tree sap - of things being grown and thriving again. So when he sees the very same man - an omega - stepping into the inn he's sequestered himself in, he's a little ashamed to admit that he forgot himself - just a little.

    “Is he rut-mad?” He heard the omega demand the barmaid, as if she’d know. “Gods, man, stop trying to-“

    Daeron realized with a start that he was squirming, attempting to scent the omega close, to mark him as his own. He couldn’t help it, the urge to possess, to take, to own awakening deep in his blood.

    Summary

    Once a year, was what Dunk promised Prince Maekar, or Lord Hand Maekar, as he was known now. Dunk was to bring Egg back to his father once a year, where he would remain for a month. Time enough to remind the boy he wasn’t actually a lowborn peasant, that he was still a Targaryen prince. Blood of the dragon.

    Summary

    "Maekar kept his eyes firmly on the training dummy as he spoke. Dunk got the sense that Maekar could not quite make himself stop speaking. That he had lost all his confidents and was making do with Dunk because he was the only one who shared even a little of his grief and guilt."

    Dunk goes to Summerhall. Prince Maekar seems drawn to him.

    Summary

    “Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame.” — A Feast for Crows, Chapter 35, Samwell IV.

    “Come, Ser,” Baelor cuts in, clearly amused in spite of himself. “You must have heard the stories. It is true that I was born an Alpha, but I need not remain as such.”

    Of course, Dunk has heard the stories of the Targaryens. There can’t be a child in all the seven kingdoms who hasn’t been told stories about how they not only wed brother to sister, but do so in spite of how they present. For a dragon is neither one thing nor the other, as the saying goes, and neither are their masters.

    Summary

    Dunk was sure he had a bit of bastard blood in him. There was no other way to explain the scales that creeped up his skin when he wasn’t careful, the way his back itched as though something was waiting to burst out. It would have been easier, perhaps, if those strange gifts had been a stag’s horns. A fish’s gills. The points of pin feathers.

    Everyone knows what happens to Targaryen bastards, Rafe told him as the form took over him once - and only once, shivering in that tiny hole they had carved out for themselves. Look at Redgrass.

    He tried not to think of Redgrass.

    Meanwhile, Aerion Targaryen could care less about Dunk’s supposed bastardy. He’s much more interested in getting Dunk in his nest with a clutch of eggs - immediately.

    Summary

    Prince Daemon scanned the group. “Ah, there! That girl next to Lord Amos will do well enough.”

    Aeron realized in the awkward silence that Prince Daemon was looking directly at him. “Your … your grace?” he asked, utterly bewildered.

    “You look sturdy enough to endure your family’s enemy abed, at least for a while.” Prince Daemon waved a hand. “See it done."

    It was a joke, it had to be. A foul, crude joke, made by a Prince who had no one to tell him to hold his tongue.

    And yet no one was laughing.

    Summary

    — Эймонд, — вздохнул Люк устало, — мы связаны врачебной тайной — это раз. Два: это даже не что-то из ряда вон выходящее при данной процедуре. Три: кому и главное зачем мне об этом рассказывать. Для наших пациентов это смущающий опыт, особенно в первый раз, но для любого уролога в клинике это обычный вторник, включая меня. Я бы удивился, если бы обнаружил там рекламу страховой компании, но пока что не случилось ничего, что перевернуло бы мой мир достаточно, чтобы я не забыл об этом приёме, как только выйду за дверь кабинета.

    Да в мире алкоголя не хватит, чтобы Люк забыл об этом приёме.

    Summary
