    Summary

    "Do not silence me," Maekar commands.

    But Lyonel's face opens up in a smile, an ugly little scornful grimace high on defiance, and Maekar tumbles back fifteen years when the man had no gray streaks framing his laughs and patience didn't make the cut into his resume's soft skills. It still doesn't, although Lyonel's made a point of coming off more lenient than he'd like, with Maekar at least, or else he would've vacated his life altogether. He's a sturdy man at best, unable to let a bruise go once it's punched into him.

    "I do what I please," he hisses, taking another step forward.

    or: Lyonel and Maekar cause a scene and Baelor is called to do some good old damage control. also Robyn Rhysling's there

    Summary

    It began with small, innocent touches that would paint his cheeks pink, but Baelor never noticed. How could he? The prince was generous and warm. He meant nothing by it, and it was Dunk who made it into an issue. It would have been easy to ignore, only that Duncan was also made to undress him, help him to his bath, and lift his naked boy from the copper tub, all while the tips of his ears flamed hotly and his eyes desperately looked anywhere but at the prince's bare body. He had a duty to care, to protect, and Duncan would see to it, even when Baelor's needs, brought by injuries that Duncan was to blame for, dragged him down an increasingly uncomfortable and strange path.

    Duncan is asked to fulfill his vow to Prince Baelor as his caretaker at Ashford, while the Prince is recovering from his wounds. He slowly comes to find that the honour-bound relationship with his sworn liege Lord is not what he had innocently dreamed of once.

    Summary

    "Baelor." My name sticks in his throat. "I do not want to watch it." 

    I want to take his place. I want to bear the weight of hundreds being driven into shields and spears. I want to peer into hundreds of mouths flying open to scream. I have never known how empty the throne is as I have in war. My brother has always known; his heart should not have to break over what it already knows. 

    "We will destroy them," I say. "So our sons do not have to. So our sons do not have to watch."

    -

    The night before the Battle of Redgrass Field, Baelor Targaryen wrestles with the weight of his feelings, the weight of the past, and the weight of the crown.
