    Summary

    Ser Duncan the Tall has a good life. Household knight to the Targaryens, holding favor of the current King and his Hand - no matter that the white-haired alpha refused to admit it, and a generally long leash to do as he pleased, Duncan should have been happy.

    And he was! Don’t get him wrong, but sometimes a knight was an omega too, and sometimes an omega wanted a mate and a family.

    Duncan decides, in a quarter-life crisis, to get married. Going to a well-known matchmaker, he throws his metaphorical hat in the ring as a young(ish), eligible omega looking for a mate. It starts… well, something.

    Summary

    "Apologies, Lord Lannister," Ser Duncan says, his voice steady, tone stern. Aerion has to, embarrassingly enough, go on his tiptoes to catch a look at his profile, and his face seems confident, not at all intimidated by the annoyed gaze Lannister throws him. "Prince Maekar was very clear that no one was to touch Prince Aerion without his explicit consent."

    Lord Lannister makes a complicated face, as if he can't quite understand the words out of Ser Duncan's mouth. "Pardon me? No, Prince Maekar wants his son wed within the year. All of the Seven Kingdoms has heard it by now. If he expects no one to touch him, he might as well lock him in his chambers and lose the key!"

    Aerion steps forward as white-hot anger flashes in his veins; he moves, intending to beat this puny little lord's insolence to a bloody pulp, but Ser Duncan throws an arm out and forcibly shoves Aerion back behind him, a warning growl on his lips.

    Lord Lannister freezes. Aerion freezes. Ser Duncan stays relaxed.

    Summary

    "Found an alpha to lay with, then?"

    "No," Dunk demures, "not as such." He's thick, yes, but he's lived nineteen or twenty years and he's not entirely dumb. He knows what it means when an alpha lays with an omega—or any other conceivable combination, alphas, betas, omegas, men, women, and others still. Laying with someone does not always mean one is laying down. One might stand for it, too. Or, "We were sitting at the time."

    -

    Dunk is determined to enter the lists, though it's hard to focus when his worries lay elsewhere. Lucky for him he knows of three omegas that are better versed in the ways of the world and might provide him with some much needed guidance.

    Lyonel has worries of his own.

    Summary

    Dunk sighs and rubs at his face. He wants breakfast. He wants to go back to bed. He wants to ride to Storm's End and strangle Lyonel Baratheon himself.

    Summary

    Dunk never felt so young as he did around Egg. Young, and terrified, and stupid. So he had to be tall, for the both of them, even though sometimes what he wanted, more than anything else, was for someone bigger and stronger and kinder to pat him on the head and tell him it would all be fine.
