    Summary

    “Egg," Duncan asks, “what did you do?”
    “It was hardly my fault!” the boy protests. “Only-”
    “Only what?”
    “Aerion said there was a sure way for it to hatch, and that he would use it to burn me, and anyone I cared for, and - and if anyone cannot have a dragon, it is Aerion,” the boy insists. Then, very slowly, Egg turns over on his horses back and reveals the dragon egg sitting within the saddlebag.


    Wherein dragons return to Westeros, a century before they should.

    Summary

    The soul in their arms did not so much speak as it did sing. Its voice rang clearer than ever before, rising like the wind rustling through leaves of the forest, like a gentle breeze across wide fields of sweet grass. It made its wish known plainly, its innermost thoughts laid bare.

    The gods smiled. 

    ‘We are agreed.’

    The Stranger departed, its services no longer needed for the time being.

    And soon after in the arena, a quiet miracle occurred. Magic shifted and — where moments before the man had lain prone and breathless — Ser Duncan the Tall gasped awake to the sound of Prince Aegon’s desperate pleas and to the sight of a trial yet unfinished, his eyes alight with new life and glowing a color as blue and pure as the sky.  

    ***

    What if Dunk had died during his trial of Seven?

    What if he had lived?

    In which, having the gods' favor may have changed the course of history for the lands of ice and fire. But nothing in life ever comes cleanly.

    Summary

    Prince Baelor Targaryen, Hand of the King, has been trained (and trained well) in what his wife Jena calls, "The Art." Gossip is as much an art as it is a sport as it is a science, and the prosperity of the kingdom can sometimes hinge on rumor alone. When he and his retinue arrive in Ashford Meadow, Baelor overhears something rather incredible:

    Lyonel Baratheon has folk-married a hedge knight.

    Summary

    A great growl reverberates from the hollow. The men Baelor brought with him take a step back. Murmuring breaks out that he silences with a fist in the air. Something beyond pride roots him in place. The animal part of his brain understands that the thing down there is a predator larger than himself. It takes a moment to remember how the sounds are supposed to feel in his mouth, it takes a couple of tries before he dares to sound out the vowels, but the “Ser Duncan?” does in the end ring out clearly in the clearing. The rustling sound from the creature in the hollow stops. Slowly, it reveals itself.

    He should be surprised, but he’s not. This feels like it was always meant to be, and he had just unknowingly been waiting around for the time to come.

    Head low and shoulders hunched. Great wings are held tightly to its body as it slowly crawls out. It’s drenched so extensively in mud that the color of its hide is unextinguishable, but its eyes are a clear blue. A dragon is standing before him.

    AKA:
    Dunk works some blood magic by accident that saves Baelor's life, and intricately ties himself to the Targaryen family. He has turned into what he assumes the family would want the most. A dragon.

    Summary

    Aerion Targaryen - also known as Brightflame - was dead certain that he was a dragon in human form. So, the absolute logical next step in his mind was to drink wildfire. He just needed some heat to start his transformation, right?

    Nope.

    That fateful day, Aerion died screaming, burning from the inside.
    Death came as a salvation.

    He almost made peace with it. What he didn't expect was to be sent back to the past, with no piece of advice or a single word from the gods. Was this simply a test? Or another chance at life to alter his fate? Aerion had no idea. But he was absolutely sure about one thing; he would make a certain hedge knight's life a living hell - the man who ruined everything.

    (...Let's just say things aren't going in the way Aerion wants them to...)
