    Summary

    “He didn’t mean it!” Aegon gestured at Daeron, who had yet to move or make a sound aside from the occasional drunken gurgle. “He’s just out of it is all. I promise, Ser.”

    “He thanked me for standing there to catch it, boy. He meant it.” The giant looked up from his washing to Aegon, and his eyes widened dramatically at Maekar. Aegon turned to follow his gaze, and his big eyes became even wider than the giant’s.

    “Aegon,” said Maekar, voice deathly quiet. “Where is your hair?”

    Summary

    "Baelor pondered his answer. It was a simple matter, but not simple to say; there was his duty, and there was his pleasure, and he was ill-accustomed to the two meeting in anything approaching happy matrimony."

    Summary

    "I didn't hate it, Maekar."

    Maekar blinked, confusion knitting his brow. "What?"

    Baelor let out a shaky breath, his pupils blowing wide. "The sheer power of it. The pain. Knowing it was you who possessed the strength to break me."

    He leaned in further, his voice a ghost against the heavy wool of Maekar’s tunic. "I liked it. I liked the pain of it. It felt… right. To be at your mercy."

    Maekar stood frozen, the bandage dangling from his hand, his mind struggling to process the words.

    "What?" Maekar asked, his voice flat with disbelief.

    (In which Baelor survives and discovers he’s a masochist.)

    Summary

    “Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame.” — A Feast for Crows, Chapter 35, Samwell IV.

    “Come, Ser,” Baelor cuts in, clearly amused in spite of himself. “You must have heard the stories. It is true that I was born an Alpha, but I need not remain as such.”

    Of course, Dunk has heard the stories of the Targaryens. There can’t be a child in all the seven kingdoms who hasn’t been told stories about how they not only wed brother to sister, but do so in spite of how they present. For a dragon is neither one thing nor the other, as the saying goes, and neither are their masters.

    Summary

    The pains came upon him in the early hours of the morning, while mist still blanketed the ground and the birds stayed quiet in their nests. A twinge in the gut, as if his bowels were twisting as they were wont to do before tourneys and talking with nobility. It was easy to ignore at first – Dunk was used to hurts. Smacks to the back of the head, hits to the jaw, aches and pains of training and cuts and broken bones. Pain was familiar, comforting even, in its frequency.
