    Summary

    The noose draws tight around Storm's End, and Stannis Baratheon. But a young man not Stannis wakes in his place, and must navigate the deathly serious realities of war and politics in a land unfamiliar to him, while keeping tight hold of both castle and Stannis' people. No one ever said life was easy, and if they did, they were lying.

    Summary

    “Ask your question, Daenerys,” Stannis said.

    Daenerys took a breath, and asked the question that had plagued her ever since leaving King’s Landing. “Your brother, the king, only lost his betrothed, and he hates me. Eddard Stark lost over half his family because of mine, and yet he will welcome me as his kin?” Her voice rose at the last, as she was no longer able to hide her disbelief, her fear.

    “Ned Stark is a man of honor,” Stannis said. “He has no interest in avenging his family by tormenting you.” Unlike the king, neither of them said aloud.

    (In a world where Viserys Targaryen escaped Westeros without his mother or sister, Daenerys Targaryen grows up as the ward of Stannis Baratheon, living at the mercy of the Great Houses that brought about the downfall of her family.)

    Summary

    'At least Stannis won't laugh at Renly if the boy tries to follow him around when he's a bit older and takes a tumble on the flagstones. It's not much, not much at all, but perhaps it's enough to be going on with.'

    Robert never loved his brothers, but this is not a story about Robert. This is about Stannis, and Renly, and glimpses of how they might have been different, had they let themselves love each other as brothers usually do.

    (Title from Adele's 'Skyfall', mostly because I was tickled pink by the stags at Skyfall Manor in the newest Bond film.)
