Summary
"I yield," says Blaidd. His voice is low. He makes no move to free himself, and neither does she.
"Why were you howling," she asks, "in the forest, when we first met?"
At this angle he is gazing up at her for the very first time. His eyes are the pale gray of dawning, rising to chase off the night.
A reimagining of Blaidd's story.

Summary
"If I cannot see your face, may I gather a picture of it some other way?" You raise both hands, palms turning upward like flowers seeking the sun.
"Of course." You hear a step, feel it in the narrowness of the space you sense between your bodies. The scent of him is stronger now, richer, unmistakably masculine. You take short, sipping breaths so it does not overpower your senses and drown you deep. "Here."
His hand finds yours, and guides it to his cheek.
A stranger seeks company at a King’s Landing pleasure house, requesting discretion and naming you as his partner for the evening. You find yourself feeling a rare sensation beneath the blindfold: curiosity.

Summary
“You are young, my lady. Much younger than I.” Baelor’s mouth twists. Deep lines carve down the sides of his face at the motion. “There are some who say you would have been better kept for Valarr.”
Valarr is youthful, and handsome. Perhaps he is right. But in every room that you enter it is not Valarr that you seek, not Valarr’s steady gaze and silvered beard that you follow with your eyes. Not Valarr who you orbit like the moon courting like sun.
As a daughter of Highgarden you were raised to be wed, but a rose among dragons may still fear the flames.
On the night of your wedding, however, your new husband puts your mind at ease.

Summary
Alistair steels his resolve, and meets her gaze.
“Could you teach me how to last longer?”
Siobhan blinks, her eyebrows dropping a fraction as she puzzles this over. “Anything at all, and that’s what you want?”
“Yes,” he says. He clears his throat. “... Please?”

Summary
“Yes, Manfred,” says Emmrich. “I think Rook is quite nice.”
He thinks she is young, and that she looks at him like he could save her.
That she is beautiful the way the ocean is beautiful, when viewed from the edge of a sheer, high cliff.

Summary
“Penumbra (n.) — a part of a shadow where the light is not wholly gone, used especially of the half-shadow cast during an eclipse.”
Evil does not reproduce; it perfects itself. And the Lord does not halt wheels that men themselves insist on turning.
Some would argue whether Henry pushed or István leapt. But they should note, perhaps, that God kept His silence as ever.
࿇
This work is a large-scale István Tóth bildungsroman covering 1372–1403 and is intended as a hypothetical prequel to his main KCD narrative.
