    Summary

    Lyonel Baratheon is older than he ever thought he would be. He spends his days staring at the sea and cursing the gods who left him behind. After the tragedy at Summerhall the world no longer makes any sense to him. When a stable boy seeks him out with word that an old friend has come for supper, Lyonel learns that endings are not always what you expect, and the gods might have some kindness left in them after all.

    Summary

    The orchard unfolded around Lyonel in shafts of sunlight and rippling green, the sweetness of fruit and warm grass lingering in the air even though blossoms had yielded to hard, young apples. Somewhere nearby, bees worked with sacred diligence as he stepped over a fallen branch and into a clearing, stopping abruptly.
    Duncan stood at the heart of this clearing, bathed in golden light so vivid it seemed as if the orchard itself had conjured him. A vision haloed by gentle rays that lingered on his broad shoulders. The sunlight danced across his hair and illuminated his smile, turning the moment into a scene so tender and striking it felt like another world. Under the apple trees, surrounded by their sweet scent, Duncan appeared strong yet gentle, shining as if time had paused just to admire him.
    Lyonel hesitated, unable to reconcile the Duncan he remembered with the gentle tableau before him. Sunlight and laughter blurred the boundaries of memory, making the familiar suddenly strange. And yet, as if the world snapped back into focus, recognition returned. Sharp, restoring everything Lyonel knew, but still leaving him dazzled by the transformation.

    Summary

    A tame man whose blood had woken needed a keeper, this not only said but known. A tame man without a purpose would diminish and fade and die; like a hound or a hawk bred to hunt, he needed a stronger will than his own to dominate him and make him heel.

    Dunk did not know he had killed the prince until after the horn had blown.

    Summary

    Dunk had once gotten a fortune from a dreamspeaker in Flea Bottom: You're going to get punched in the face a lot. A more accurate warning would have been: You're going to punch and be punched in the face lots of times by the love of your life. And you'll both probably deserve it.

    Five times when Dunk and Lyonel met, fought, and kissed before Ashford + once when only one of those things happened.

    Summary

    He did not know how best to put it into words. I dreamed of you, he could say, because there had not been a night in months where he had not been hunted in his sleep by a brindled hart with wolf’s teeth. I thought you were taken mad, he could say, but Lyonel’s eyes were black and gold and the light of frenzy was in his face, and he could very well be mad. He certainly did not look like a man in his right mind, but the madness threw his features into contrast and made him more handsome somehow. It seemed unwise to let you be alone, he could say, because there was a blooming seed of fear in his gut that poor half-mad, half-beast Lyonel on his own in the rainwood would fall victim to bear or wolf or some lost hunter—

    Foolish, Dunk knew, since the hart had survived his heats near as long as Dunk had been alive. Even a direwolf might pause at the sight of Lyonel and his splendid rack of antlers, forked like lightning with tines like arrowheads. He was a creature of sleek hard strength and blooded instinct. When his gaze met Dunk’s, it was Dunk who flinched away. What fool would think of hunting him?

    Summary

    In early spring of 209 AC, on the cusp of his heat, Lyonel Baratheon takes the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall to his bed. It ought mean nothing. But when Baelor Breakspear survives the Trial of Seven, the hours Lyonel spent with the hedge knight and the babe that comes of them set in motion a cascade of changes that warp the fate of the realm.

    Plague, drought, politics -- Duncan has little opinion on any of them. He only knows that somewhere, at the point where the sky meets the sea, Lyonel is waiting for a true knight to return to him. But to become a man worthy of Lyonel Baratheon requires growth, and the Red Keep is quick to grind its heel upon the unwary.

    Summary

    It’s a small enough thing, the Baratheon stag engraved into the lid. It had perhaps been locked once, but the salty sea air of Storm’s End softens most wood after enough years, and the latch tears clean out when he gives it a good pull. Old too, then. Inside is another bundle of parchment, neatly folded and tied with fraying twine.

    More damned papers, he thinks for a disappointed moment, nearly shutting it again- what a waste this whole venture had been. But these do not look like more records. There is something personal in how they have been handled and hidden away, and Renly begins picking at the twine with curious fingers. When it falls away, he unfolds the first sheet, and finds a letter.

    Milord Lyonel, it begins.

    [Renly Baratheon, young and full of confusing feelings, discovers that he may not be as alone as he believes.]

    Summary

    Later, when the chamber had gone quiet and the household slept under the weight of the news now spreading through it like dark water, Egg had a cot dragged in by the hearth. It was not fitting for a king, but today he was not a king.

    Because once, years ago, there had been roads. Hard ground. Rain through leaves. A boy in borrowed boots and a great foolish knight beside him, always near enough that waking in the dark did not feel like waking alone.

    Tonight, if he could give Duncan back even the smallest piece of that, he would.
