    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."

    Summary

    "Alpha, please. I swear I remain untouched."

    Ormund offered a gentle, odd smile. "Undress for me, sweetling."

    Gwayne comes to Tumbletown smelling like alpha and gains a tummy ache and a pounding about it.

    Summary

    Inspired by “trust my recipe” by anon cause I love the idea and wanted to make it Stormhedge

    Dunk has been Lord Lyonel’s sworn man for years despite being an omega, training his squire in Storm’s End when they aren’t off wandering the countryside. With Egg nearing adulthood and Dunk himself nearing his mid thirties, lonesomeness has made him worrisome.

    Fearing a life with no family of his own he seeks out a matchmaker, hopeful someone would be willing to mate such an odd omega.

    Lyonel Baratheon is not pleased when he learns the omega knight he’s been pining after for years is seeking the hand of a lesser man.

    *Baelor didn’t die in the trial and all is sorta well with the Targaryens. Egg is mostly allowed to stay with Dunk.*

    Summary

    The most obvious route was a brutally honest dating app profile. He'd put something like: often busy, occasionally horny, bisexual, barely recovered insomniac. Down for most things except an actual relationship. Must love NDAs.

    He could already hear his publicist screaming at him.

    Or, this can't possibly be how normal people watch porn.
