Summary
In the aftermath of Baelor's death, the Targaryen family splinters. All Maekar wants is to hold the remnants of his family close, but even he knows that Aerion cannot stay here, not with Baelor's ghost still wandering the halls.
Dunk has had enough of princes for a lifetime, but Baelor's memory will not let him turn away from the wreckage before him. When Maekar begs him to take Aegon on as his squire, he accepts, and when Maekar begs him to look after Aerion, Dunk cannot turn him away. He is determined to fulfill his duty as Baelor's man, and to do it well, Aerion be damned.
Aerion's life crumbles down around his shoulders in the span of a single afternoon. The Maesters say his leg may never fully heal, his own father cannot look him in the eye, and his family wishes he had died in his uncle's stead. When he finds himself exiled to Lys with only the brother who hates him and the knight who maimed him for company, he is certain he's being sent off to die.
Fortunately, the gods have other plans.

Summary
“If I break my oath, even for you—” Dunk's voice cracked. He thought of Ser Arlan’s face. Of Egg's trust. Of everything he'd built himself to be. “What would that make me?”
“Mine.” Aerion's fingers slid to the nape of Dunk's neck, tangling in his hair. “It would make you mine.”
There are two kinds of distance between a common hedge knight and a Targaryen prince: the height that separates them, and the morality that should.

Summary
Dunk’s just a lad from Cork who secured a full scholarship to Oxford… He feels inadequate— coming from a humble background and suddenly surrounded by hyphenated last names and signet rings. He hopes to not make a fool of himself.
Aerion’s family is facing a political embarrassment, the Targaryens may be asset “rich” and title rich, but being a Lord doesn’t pay the maintenance bills of their summer homes. And Aerion’s grandfather just lost the London Mayoral elections, so that’s even a bigger embarrassment. His family’s broke, and he’s trying to save face in Oxford.
They meet via a fresher’s party… and oh my god someone is in deep DENIAL.
TLDR: Lovable and humble Dunk meets pretty boy Aerion trying to keep afloat in a world where his family is losing its grip. Dunk becomes his anchor.

A Dragon's Delicate Touch by Sandieee

Summary
One blow was all it took to change the course of history.
When Duncan the Tall strikes Prince Aerion Targaryen to protect a helpless puppeteer, he commits an act of treason that can only be answered by blood. Now a lowly hedge knight with a borrowed shield must face the fury of the dragon in a Trial by Seven, a fight to the death where the odds are impossible and the stakes are life or exile.
But in the dark damp hours before the trial begins, the line between hunter and prey begins to blur. As the scent of dragon spice fills the air and a cruel Prince visits a commoner’s cell, Dunk discovers that the most dangerous part of the trial isn't the lances or the horses, it’s the soul shattering tension between an Alpha who wants to protect and an Omega who only knows how to burn.
