    Summary

    Jaster has to admit that he has been pleasantly surprised by how the latest complicated political maneuver is turning out. He was not happy about letting one of his sons enter an arranged marriage – because they are his sons, for all that their origin is baffling and there are so, so many of them – but he made a very logical, reasonable case for it and was determined to help and. Well. Those are exactly the qualities that the next generation will need.

    Kote has been married three months now and it seems to be going well. He is managing. He doesn't even complain privately about his wife the way Jaster thought he might.

    The clones are not from this world. Jaster knows this. They know it. They don't remember anything concrete, no people, no places. They just have impressions and feelings and impulses they can't follow up on because they don't know where to start. Kote told him in that conversation that he knew he loved someone dearly in that last life but that he's already come to terms with the fact that he will most likely never find them, so he is the best choice for a political marriage where emotions are not expected to be included.

    Summary

    Daniel gives himself a moment to digest everything.

    Two extra copies of Armand. One wearing tights and screaming in Italian – or whatever dialect they spoke in sixteenth-century Venice – and one that looked like he just crawled out of a French sewer.

    “So this is what you were trying to hide from me? You, what -- accidentally Boys From Brazil’d yourself?” 

    Armand turns to look at him. He’s got that cute little frown line between his eyebrows, the one he gets when he’s so distracted trying to figure something out that he forgets to care about how his face looks.  

    “You are not taking this the way I anticipated.”

    Or: Daniel and Armand... and Arun, and Amadeo, and Armand (Gremlin).

    Summary

    Valarr has come to realize that there shall be more to his participation in Lord Ashford's tourney than he expected. Beyond the politicking and jousting, there is a secret he holds that must be kept, from his father, his cousin, and the crowds. Navigating his family and the chaos the tourney descends into might be easier said than done now, but perhaps this one secret can change the fate of his house forever.

    Summary

    "About what Lord Dondarrion said yesterday, you had told him that you would consider his words. Have you?"

    "There is no need to consider such words, father," Baelor eventually settles for. "I am a married man; there already is a consort."

    Daeron hums under his breath. "You are correct, of course, but there is merit in his words."

    "Maekar is my mate. I will not—"

    "I'm not asking you to," Daeron interjects. "But it has been ten years. Sooner or later, he will have to return to King's Landing. He cannot hide away in Summerhall for the rest of his life."

    Baelor presses his lips together tightly and frowns. "I have made repeated attempts. All of which were rejected, and forcing Maekar has never brought good results."

    "You have till this year to fix this mess, Baelor," the King says to him, voice losing the softness of a father and gaining the hardness of a ruler. "After that, I will have to ask you both how you feel about an annulment."

    or, when Baelor and Maekar's relationship is a mess, it's up to their kids to fix it.

    or, the parent trap au no one asked for.

    Summary

    Jena Dondarrion had died birthing his second nephew a few months earlier, a red-headed boy that looked just as unsuitable for the realm as Valarr before him. It was neither of their faults — the realm judged the babes on appearance alone, but appearance meant a great deal in the seven kingdoms, especially when a bastard carried the Valyrian look more than Baelor ever would. He needed an alliance that would stabilize his claim. The small council debated at length on the problem.

    It appeared Maekar had very neatly solved it for them.

    Or, a royal wedding helps their political interests. It does very little for their personal ones.

    Summary

    “The Prince needs a sworn sword?” Dunk blinked at the two brothers, certain he must have misheard.

    “A sworn shield,” Baelor corrected. The distinction seemed to matter.

    “The title will be spoken publicly as a reward. A reconciliation. The prince you fought against now honours your valour and accepts that the Gods judged you to be innocent. A tale of chivalry restored, of a dragon gracious in defeat. Songs will smooth the rest.”

    “And in truth?” Dunk asked before he could stop himself.

    Maekar did not look away. “In truth, you will ensure my son does not forget what that day has cost.”

    “You would have me... watch him.”

    “I would have you guard him,” Baelor replied at once. “My nephew needs protection; from blades, from poison—"

    “—and from himself.” Prince Maekar’s voice followed harder.

    Baelor survives his injuries at Ashford and takes charge of the fallout. Determined to cure Aerion’s deepening psychosis, he brings his nephew to King’s Landing to guide him and help him master his darker impulses. Until then, the unstable prince will need guarding, from others as well as himself. Baelor chooses an unlikely protector: The Hedge Knight.

    Summary

    Valarr gave him a grave look. “Kepa misses you.” He said plainly. “It has been three years, he was hoping—”

    “I care not a whit for his hopes,” Maekar snapped. “Have you so easily fallen under his spell and forgotten what he did?”

    Baelor lives. It does not make things easier.

    Summary

    In a world where the Great Bastards were of an age to Daeron II Targaryen, his son Maekar, at age two, was given to Daemon Blackfyre as a ward in an effort to maintain stability within the realm.

    Fifteen years later, Maekar is sent to live at Dragonstone alongside his widowed older brother, after having fought for the rebels during the Rebellion.

    Baelor is grappling with a grief-stricken son and a realm in disarray. Maekar is traumatized from a childhood spent in a household where he was unwanted and unloved. It takes a while before it stops being a disaster.

    Summary

    Duncan the Tall finds his soulmark on a dead prince in Ashford, and that should be the end of it.

    A young Baelor Breakspear finds his soulmark on a mysterious and wounded knight during a war march.

    At a squint, Duncan considers, an ending is only another beginning. Sometimes, when the sun sets just right, the gods are kind enough to give a fool another chance to do things right.

    Summary

    Aerion finished his joust match as before: he killed the horse, injured Ser Humfrey’s leg, and got banned from the tournament. But he was too tired from his father’s lecture to visit the commoners’ markets, so the next day the tournament continued.

    He sat in the highborn seats and watched the boring joust.

    Now, it wasn’t so boring, when the wooden lance of some stupid inexperienced huge hedge knight came flying toward his father and uncle’s seats. Both were chatting with some lord and unaware until Aerion abruptly pushed them out of danger. The lance struck deep into the prince’s side. Blood was everywhere.

    And that stupid knight? He now owes him a massive debt.

    Summary

    “Perhaps the seeds of madness are sown in the womb.”

    Not for Aerion, no. Nor for Egg. But Daeron had always known. Since he was small, he saw the tapestries upon the walls burn above his cradle, and he knew. Drink or delirium, it did not matter. One way or another, his visions would be the death of him.

    He had not reckoned he would have to suffer more than one.

    The gods want something from Daeron. They must, to have devised so exceptional a hell. For why else would they have him live these days over and over?

    If they have chosen Daeron to change the future, they have chosen the wrong man. Daeron is not a hero. He never has been.

    Alicent, after dying in the solitude of her madness and returning to life, was willing to let herself be broken if that was what the Seven required to allow her to atone for her sins.

    Or, the one where Maekar doesn't understand what the fuck is wrong with that woman and why she follows him around like a fucking dog.

    Summary

    The Ashford Tourney was meant to celebrate Lady Ashford’s thirteenth nameday. Five champions rode to defend her crown as Queen of Love and Beauty, while challengers from across the realm gathered beneath torchlight to test their skill, their honor, and their fortunes. Yet long after the banners were lowered and the lists cleared, the tourney would be remembered for something else entirely: the strange and unexpected tale of a brother and sister of House Waynwood.

    Against all expectations, Ser Wallace Waynwood of Ironoaks begins to rise through the lists, unseating champions and earning a name whispered across the meadow — the Green Knight of Ashford.

    At the same time, rumors swirl through the stands. Prince Baelor Targaryen, widowed and heir to the Iron Throne, is said to be searching for a new wife. And among the noble ladies gathered at Ashford, his attention seems to fall more than once upon Joanna Waynwood.

    The realm may be writing a love story.

    Joanna Waynwood intends to have no part in it.

    Summary

    Dunk has two soul marks appear on his 18th name-day: one on his left arm and one on the back of his neck. It's known that your soul brand appears where your soulbound first touches you. But, being a commoner, Dunk was never educated on what his marks truly mean. Commoners aren't expected to meet their soulbound, so why waist time educating them on the subject.

    After the death of his ser, Dunk continues toward the tournament in hopes of finding glory as a knight. He finds a lot more than glory.

    Summary

    A dragon hatchling is found by Aerion Targaryen who is absolutely thrilled to finally have his own dragon. - or - No one knows how Duncan ended up with a dragon egg, not even the man himself. More so, the fact that he manages to successfully-more like accidentally- hatch it is even more ridiculous.

    Oh, and it’s all told from the dragon’s ever so reliable POV of course.

    “I speak truth, my Lord. I mean to enter the lists.”

    “Yes, and every urchin from Flea Bottom wanting to make a name for himself wishes to enter the lists, boy. Do you have someone who will vouch for you?”

    Seven hells, not this again.

    In which, three years after the events at Ashford Meadow, all Dunk wants is to enlist in the tournament at King's Landing. He runs into trouble entering his name in the lists. Again. Before he knows what's happening he's accused of fraud and brought before the King on the Iron Throne. Now he must plead with a king he’s never met and doesn't know.

    Or does he?

    “I did not mean to,” Dunk whispers. Gods if he could go back and change it. If he could take the blow himself.

    “No,” she says, her voice gentle, almost pitying. “But he fell all the same.”

    She leans closer, breath as cold as winter.

    “And the world will burn for it. A dragon lost too soon leaves only ashes behind.”

    **

    Dunk is given the chance to go back and save the prince.

    Summary

    Dunk knows Aerion enjoys him, physically. He also knows the prince would never see him as more than a warm body, Flea Bottom bastard that he is. He keeps it quiet.
    Aerion knows Duncan finds him pretty. He also knows the knight would always despise him, monster that he is. He doesn’t mention it.
    They’re both idiots.
