    Summary

    Dunk spun, dropping his sword entirely. Before Baelor could even register the shift in momentum, two hands the size of dinner plates clamped around Baelor’s waist. With zero apparent effort—almost entirely one-handed—Dunk hoisted the Crown Prince of Westeros off the ground as easily as one might pick up an unruly toddler.

    The world suddenly inverted. Baelor’s feet left the earth, his sword swinging wildly at empty air as he was lifted high, high up.

    Baelor looked down. Directly between his suspended boots was Duncan's face. The giant was looking up at him, a lock of sweat-dampened hair falling across his forehead, and on his face was a breathless, thoroughly mischievous smile.

    Oh, Baelor thought.

    Summary

    It had occurred to Dunk in those final moments that they would probably not recover his body, that he would be nought but ash by the time the fires were brought under control. But that thought had oddly comforted him in a way, that there would be no grand funeral for the Lord Commander who had failed.

    Failed to save more from the fire, failed to stop Aegon in the first place. Who knows, maybe his failure had even begun back in the hedges, maybe something he had done or not done had made Aegon the man who had done..this.

    He would do anything to go back and fix it, had been his last thought before the sensations shifted from heat to cold, from fire to waves, from pain to panic.

    or, dunk perishes in fire at summerhall and washes up on the sands of dragonstone. dragons still roam the skies, rhaenyra targaryen still lives and dunk quickly discovers he's not the only one lost in this time.

    Summary

    "and they were roommates" - a modern Westeros AU


    An excerpt from "Evidence of Affection" by Dr Baelor Targarran

    Finally, I owe a debt to Duncan and Baelor themselves.
    Like all historians, I have spent years in conversation with the dead. Rarely have I encountered two voices that have managed to reach across the centuries with such clarity, humour, honesty, and unwavering devotion.
    Whatever language we choose to describe the bond they shared, it is clear that it has left an indelible mark upon the history of Westeros. It has certainly left one on me, and it is my hope that it will leave one with you as well.

    Summary

    Baelor lies asleep in Ashford, unable to wake up after being injured by his brother's mace. At least, his body sleeps. His mind wanders, crossing into Dunk's dreams, where the hedge knight is determined to save him.

    Summary

    "It's not about truth now, Rhaenyra, it's about perception!"
    And that's her breaking point.
    "Perception?" She hisses. "Oh, you want to talk about perception? Fine, let's do this."

    Summary

    “What the fuck are you doing here?”

    Dunk shoots up, hitting his knees against the wooden table and the cooks going rigidly against the wall. It’s late. Incredibly so. The moon hanging high up in the air and the whole castle silent except for the owls and guards walking.

    “M'lord,” he stammers and catches himself.

    Maekar regards him with an almost acidic annoyance, but there’s tiredness too. One which Dunk has known from a full day’s ride on horseback. “I’ll ask again, why in seven hells are you here?” He looks around his sides and Dunk quickly answers.

    From time to time, Ser Duncan returns - he brings back home a son and slowly, eventually, he also is returning something else belonging to the same prince.

    Or in other words, Dunk finds a place in Summerhall and Maekar finds his heart again.

    Summary

    Baelor Targaryen was meant to die. Instead, the Gods have other plans.

    Their will sets both Baelor and Dunk upon a path neither expected. Baelor is granted a second chance and both men are burdened with a purpose that neither understand the extent of.

    Dunk discovers there may be older magic within him. And Baelor discovers that he is more than the doubts that have been placed on him. Somewhere along the way, they discover devotion to one another that even the gods could not have planned.

    Meanwhile, Maekar suffers the burden of managing his family and potentially finally getting them under control. Potentially.

    Or

    Baelor survives the Trial of Seven, Dunk discovers there’s more to him than expected, and maybe they fall in love along the way.

    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

    There is something wrong with Maekar. Baelor has known it from the moment of the first charge, when the horn sounded and Maekar… did not ride. Did not move at all. It is difficult to see what he is doing exactly, through the thick fog, but it is clear he is not moving.

    Baelor shifts targets, taking Aerion off his horse in a shower of spear shards before Aerion and Dunk can even meet. He looks once at Maekar, still on his horse, before he wheels around. He cannot focus on Maekar. This is not like Redgrass, his task now is not to reach Maekar, not to defend Maekar. Not to help. Here, they are on opposite sides, and Maekar… whatever is wrong with him, it’ll keep until Baelor has the chance to deal with it.

    Summary

    From the time of the Andals arrival in Westeros, and the beginning of knighthood in the kingdoms, it is a well-kept tradition for knights to not only swear their oath to the seven, but to preserve a record of the great feats of their own master and his predecessors by way of adding in lines. As such, the lineage of knight to squire is preserved through the memorization and passing of these vows, and while the words are kept secret from all but their own cohort, knights who share the same oathkeeping lineage...

    ... There are only a handful of famed chivalric lineages that are confirmed to still exist today, most notable amongst them is the oath taken by the Dragonknight Ser Aemon Targaryen, currently preserved by his three known squires, King Daeron Targaryen the Second, his son Prince Baelor Targaryen, and Ser Robyn Rhysling. As with most lineages, it is likely there are other knights within the cohort , but those names have since been lost to time.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra was alone. Her best friend married her father, her uncle was at the Stepstones doing what Daemon Targaryen does best, wreck havoc, and her mother was dead. She had no one but her dear friend Syrax. She was not yet Rhaenyra the Cruel, as history would remember her. She was just a scared girl, fighting for her place in the world. What if the gods took pity on her? Not the Seven who are one, nor the old gods, but the Valyrian ones. They have seen what the future holds and are most displeased with the outcome. Rhaenyra was their champion. The Queen of Dragons. Enraged, they decided to act against the other deities involved.

    Or

    After their deaths, both Baelor and Maekar are sent back in time, into an age where dragons still roamed the skies, and meet a young Rhaenyra Targaryen on the brink of collapsing. How far will they go to ensure prosperity for their house?

    Summary

    The story goes something like this… when God first created the Andals, they were monstrous beings with four legs and arms, who, although they loved each part of them fiercely, were unable to survive on their own without the help of the Gods. So they had separated them into two beings, and as they grew and thrived, they noticed that they would spend their lives searching for that other half. Sometimes they were able to find it, and their lives seemed complete and full of joy and love… most of the time they were unable to, and their lives were spent in the search for the other half of their own being.

    It was why, when the Gods arrived in Westeros with the first Andals, they gave them a gift for this new and immense space. A blessing so they could find their other half, the one being in the whole continent that could complete what was inside of them… their soulmate.

    Since God had seven faces, seven different blessings existed.

    Summary

    Faced with an impossible situation in Summerhall, Lord Commander Duncan finds his end at the hands of his friend and king, and in the flames that soon consume Summerhall. But death does not claim him as he suddenly finds himself back where it all began: the fateful trial of Seven in Ashford. But the man standing here, is not the young hedgeknight from long ago, this is the man who survived court and wars and loss. When he goes into that fight, the trial swiftly turns a different direction. And suddenly Duncan is confronted with changes, the aftereffects of the ritual, feelings he long believed dead, and the fact that he cannot meet Egg's eyes without thinking of Summerhall.
