    Summary

    Rafe watched him for a long moment. She tapped a meaningless rhythm against the whetstone with her nail, then said, “You got a look to you, Dunk.”

    “That bastard look?” he said with a raised brow. Rafe and Arlan had debated Dunk’s parentage in the past, though Rafe liked to argue that Dunk was born from a giant who fucked a Mormont beyond the wall. Arlan said Dunk was probably some Umber’s bastard, though he always had a wry to look him as he said it.

    “Dragon look,” said Ser Arlan, softly. He examined a strip of bark in his hands. “Got that kingly look to you, Dunk.”

    Summary

    Daeron gets the luxory of understanding one of his visions before it comes to pass for once, and tries to change something. The change comes at a cost.

    "Daeron, Maekar remembered, had attempted to tackle Baelor to the ground in an uncharacteristic show of enthusiasm, but had done so at the most inopportune time, intercepting a blow meant for Baelor. Maekar had been sure, however, that his armour had protected him. Daeron had then proceeded to be almost trampled by a stampeding horse, distracting Maekar enough to give Baelor an opening and leave him off balance. Daeron had looked fine though, hadn’t looked hurt, though he hadn't gotten back up. In hindsight, this should have been the first sign to Maekar that something was wrong"

    Summary

    Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”

    “Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”

    Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”

    “Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.

    Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”

    “Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said

     

    OR The BAU gets a probationary profiler who is a little more than he appears at first glance. Or second. Or third. Just how many secrets can Dick Grayson be hiding from a team full of profilers?
