    Summary

    Dunk sat back, indignant. "I knew what I was promising when I made my oath."

    Baelor blinked at him. "You…did?"

    "Well," Dunk amended, "maybe not the details. But oaths aren't made to be litigated, or so Ser Arlan used to tell me. You make them, and you live by all they entail, good or ill. That you might live because of my oath seems only a good, Your Grace."

    Summary

    Duncan Wells is a thirty-one-year-old florist from Flea Bottom whose well-meaning friends sign him up for a dating app.
    Dr. Baelor Targaryen is a forty-seven-year-old medieval literature professor who wrote a doctoral thesis on the reciprocal bond between kings and the men sworn to their service.
    When they match, Dunk is certain he's being catfished so when Baelor cancels their first date with a vague text on a Sunday morning, Dunk knows that unfortunately he was right.
    Baelor is hiding something but it isn't that he is a catfish.

    Summary

    It did not matter what Aerys thought about the name. If it was the name of the person solely made to be Baelor's other half, then everything about them was for Baelor's sake. Not for Aerys', nor for his opinions. Dunk surely was the greatest, kindest, and most honourable person in the world.

    Names could be simple, names could be complex, names could be deceptive. The will of the Gods was not always so straightforward.

    Summary

    Duncan the Tall finds his soulmark on a dead man 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

    "Proofing, also sometimes called final fermentation, is the specific term for allowing dough to rise after it has been shaped and before it is baked."

    Less than a year has passed since the final battle, and the Ministry is already up to its old tricks. Harry would very much like them to stop ignoring due process, tossing people in Azkaban, controlling the press, and menacing the populace with dementors.

    He would also like, if at all possible, to bake a passable loaf of bread.
