Oathkeeper by StrangeMirror8811

Summary
From the time of the Andals arrival in Westeros, and the beginning of knighthood in the kingdoms, it is a well-kept tradition for knights to not only swear their oath to the seven, but to preserve a record of the great feats of their own master and his predecessors by way of adding in lines. As such, the lineage of knight to squire is preserved through the memorization and passing of these vows, and while the words are kept secret from all but their own cohort, knights who share the same oathkeeping lineage...
... There are only a handful of famed chivalric lineages that are confirmed to still exist today, most notable amongst them is the oath taken by the Dragonknight Ser Aemon Targaryen, currently preserved by his three known squires, King Daeron Targaryen the Second, his son Prince Baelor Targaryen, and Ser Robyn Rhysling. As with most lineages, it is likely there are other knights within the cohort , but those names have since been lost to time.

Summary
Pulling the signet ring from his own finger and pressing it into Dunk’s slack hand, then turning to face his brother and nephews, Baelor’s voice rang a challenge across the room. “I have made my choice. Ser Duncan the Tall is my man, and we will be handfasted as soon as the gods allow. Will you withdraw your grievance, Aerion, or will you meet me in a trial by combat on the tournament field for all to watch?"
Or, to save Dunk from fighting in a Trial of Seven, and to save himself from the doom in Daeron's dream, Baelor offers to marry Dunk instead.

changeable as flame by Theonenamedafterahat

Summary
“Dragons are neither male nor female, Barth saw the truth of that, but now one and now the other, as changeable as flame.” — A Feast for Crows, Chapter 35, Samwell IV.
“Come, Ser,” Baelor cuts in, clearly amused in spite of himself. “You must have heard the stories. It is true that I was born an Alpha, but I need not remain as such.”
Of course, Dunk has heard the stories of the Targaryens. There can’t be a child in all the seven kingdoms who hasn’t been told stories about how they not only wed brother to sister, but do so in spite of how they present. For a dragon is neither one thing nor the other, as the saying goes, and neither are their masters.

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 -
