    Summary

    "Ser Duncan," Baelor says kindly. Softly. His voice is as gentle as Duncan remembers it to be. It's a warm timbre that melts like honey and Duncan is sure he can taste it. He can taste the Prince in all the ways he knows he should not. "I've missed the chance to properly greet you, though, I do recall you move quick."

    Duncan knows it is a jest. He’d taken off from Ashford the moment Baelor had risen from his deathbed. He knows it is a jest because it has taken an entire spring for their paths to cross again.

    But Baelor doesn't sound upset. He sounds as if he is smiling and Duncan wishes nothing more than to see, but he refuses. His gaze digs into the sweet cakes, never up at the Prince.

    "Tart cakes," Baelor says, misunderstanding his staring. "You've chosen to wear the eyepatch I’ve given you?"

    *

    In which Baelor survives the Trial, and Duncan is sure putting distance between them will keep the Prince out of harms way.

    Summary

    His gauntlet comes to Dunk's face, brushes clumsily over him. "My man," he breathes, barely a whisper, and there's blood on the metal, and it smears over his lips as he weeps, "Your man."

    Something sparks in his - his head, his guts - wrenching -

    (It's divine intervention.)

    Summary

    After winning the Trial of Seven, Baelor Breakspear dying, and losing faith in the gods and himself, Dunk lies down underneath his tree, closes his eyes, and wishes he were dead. And when he opens them, none of it has happened.

    Or: Dunk seems to be the only person who has the power to change fate. But why would anyone choose him?

    Summary

    Valarr fights for Dunk, Baelor doesn't die. Instead, he finds himself intrigued by the hedge knight. After ser Duncan leaves Ashford Meadow with Egg in tow, the prince cannot forget about the man. As years grow, he finds he misses his blunt honesty more and more. And when he learns of a Blackfyre plot brewing at Whitewalls, there is only one thing he can do...

    Basically a "Baelor Targaryen Lives AU" where he pines after Dunk without ever realizing it's pining. Also introducing extremely sassy Maekar and constantly annoyed Bloodraven.

    Summary

    "The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, bringing Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, seeing as how you're the king now." A look of anguish crossed his face. "Oh, hells, I shouldn't be calling you 'you,' should I? It's 'Your Grace.' Please don't take—"

    Baelor resisted the urge to rest his hand against the lad's back, as one might soothe a skittish horse. "No offense was taken, ser."

    "Thank you," Ser Duncan said, then immediately amended, "thank Your Grace...ness. Seven fucks, I'm getting another drink." And he whirled away into the throng before Baelor could say a word.
