    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

    Aerion Targaryen runs from his fate (Sent off to Lys) straight into another (getting himself into a spot of bother with some horrid sellswords). Ser Duncan the Tall ruins everything by saving him.
    Now Aerion needs protection, but he refuses to beg for it. Instead, he thinks himself clever and tries for manipulation, and offers himself up as a useful teacher for him to learn how to use a sword with skill and not just strength, if it means staying close enough to survive.
    Aerion fully intends to pretend.
    Egg keeps saying it's an act, and Dunk seems to think that if Aerion acts like a good man long enough, he might actually become one.
    Aerion hates it.
    Almost as much as he hates how perfect Duncan is and how much he wants a man from Fleabottom named Dunk.

    Summary

    Can't wait for GRRM to publish the fourth Dunk and Egg novella? Neither could I. So I wrote it.

    The She-Wolves of Winterfell. ~38,000 words.

    I went through all three novellas and The World of Ice and Fire, mapped every Stark from Cregan to little Artos, and tried to get as close to GRRM's voice as I could. Every detail is canon-sourced.

    Dunk and Egg ride north through the Neck, past the ruins of Moat Cailin, and into a land where knights are unknown and the old gods hold sway. At Winterfell, Lord Beron Stark lies dying. Five Stark women circle his empty chair, each with their own claim and their own claws. They call them the She-Wolves.

    Dunk came for the Wall. He stopped for silver. He stayed for bread and salt. Now he's tangled in a succession crisis he cannot understand, with a mule that has opinions and a squire who knows too much.

    For everyone waiting for Season 2, or for the day the real She-Wolves sees the light. This is the closest I could get.

    Updated April 2026. Thanks to Stenric (Reddit), Brinady, MythicalCusband, and Alien99 (AO3) for catching what I'd missed: canon, gruffness, the reunion, Tanselle, travel time, battle scale. All fixed.
