Summary
Light Spoilers for AKOTSK concerning Maekar’s future.
One moment Maekar is being crushed by a boulder at Starpike, and the next he wakes under a Weirwood tree next to Brynden “Bloodraven” Rivers. Back to a childhood where Baelor is alive and well, Daemon Waters lives under the same roof, and war is brewing in gossip.
What will this second life hold for a man so accursed as a Kinslayer?
Maekar doesn’t know what this world is, if it is an afterlife or a second life or eternity in the seven hells. But he finds it scarcely matters. This life Baelor Targaryen will live long, happy, and healthy. And Maekar will do anything to make it so.

Summary
Baelor’s lip twitches in amusement, “What a little prince you are. You’re ready for the honor, my prince. But first, before I can bring you to Father and sing your praises, we need to get that armor off of you.”
Maekar turns red from shame, but takes the helmet off, crushed petals cascading down his face. His braids are sweaty and stained a light red, streaked with armoring oil. But he still has his flower crown, perched right above his head. Aegor laughs, Daemon’s eyes light up with amusement. But neither of them are there. Maekar looks around the field and sees only Daenerys and Rhaegal peering through the roses. A kingsguard a stones throw away. The song of birds.
“Those are just petals, thank the gods.”
“What?”
Baelor kneels down in front of him, and Maekar can’t manage his usual protests about stained clothes, distracted by how his face burns, his eyes water, and he feels a burning rush of embarrassment that he can barely understand. Strong hands wipe the tears away.
“When I saw the red I was so scared,” Baelor whispers, “That you had been bleeding under your helmet. But they are just flowers, thank the gods.”

Summary
“Dyanna-”
She interrupts him, “And when I saw you, all I could think was why were all of the maidens fighting over Prince Baelor,” her hand dusts over Maekar's burning cheeks, to land in his hair, “And none over you.”
“Dyanna-”
Again, she interrupts him, “I am glad though, I would despise any who would take you from me,” she smiles softly, “Maekar-”
“You are pretty” He interjects, “Your hair,” she glances at his lips, and he at hers, “Lips as red as roses.”
This fic covers the moments which defined the rest of their lives, the moments where they fell in love, the moments where they decided who they would be. This is the love story which caused the Maekarlings.
