    Summary

    Shield Industries wanted a mural to brighten the foyer of their building. When Steve took the job he was expecting a paycheque and some name recognition, not a crush he knew was deepening into something more.

    Bucky was a little annoyed to get stuck riding herd on the artist Shield hired. He was building security 2IC; he didn't have time to stand around and watch someone paint, but it was the CEO's pet project, so watch he would. He wasn't expecting to wind up taking a lot of cold showers. He wasn't expecting to make a friend, maybe the best friend he'd ever had.

    Neither of them expected to get attached. Neither of them expected to want the other. Problem is their wants don't align: Steve's asexual, Bucky's aromantic, and nothing's ever going to change that. But love doesn't have to mean sex, romance is only one kind of love, and if two people of good heart want it badly enough maybe they can make a life in the middle.

    Summary

    “I remember every story you ever read to me. Every sword and riding lesson. Every scraped knee you cleaned on your own.” Daeron’s voice cracked. “Every time you stood between me and Ormund when he was blinded by his rage. As long as you were near, I knew he couldn’t touch me.”

    “I was only doing what anyone would’ve–” Gwayne stopped himself, realizing.

    “No one else did. Just you.” Daeron’s smile trembled. “I want you to remember that I was never afraid when I was with you. Tomorrow will be no different.”

    //

    On the eve of battle, Daeron asks Gwayne what will become of them.

    Summary

    In the end, it is not that hard to execute the plan.

    It is easy as taking a cup of tea to his nephew. Simple as that. Daeron doesn’t even think about summoning a food taster, because why would he?

    For all that has separated them, all that Gwayne abandoned him into the hands of Ormund Hightower, Daeron trusts him. He trusts that Gwayne wouldn’t seek to harm him.

    And it is the truth, in its way. Gwayne wouldn’t seek to harm him. He would do anything to save Daeron’s life, whether he likes it or not.

    Gwayne knows, in this moment, as he sets the cup of tea down on Daeron’s small table in this small room that Ormund has set aside for him in the Footlys’ keep, that he is like as not to lose Daeron’s trust for the rest of time.

    But if the price of Daeron’s trust, his faith, is his life, then Gwayne is willing to pay it.

    So the night before the battle, as those in Tumbleton are drinking away their last nights on earth, Gwayne drops milk of the poppy into Daeron’s tea.

    (When Daeron refuses to leave Tumbleton, Gwayne makes the decision for both of them. He will not lose his nephew to their uncle's ambitions, whatever it takes.)
