“...I am afraid I must ask one thing more of you. You need not answer against your wishes, but if this last alternative is to be considered, I must needs have an answer.”

Oathkeeper by StrangeMirror8811
Fandoms: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms, A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin
20 Jul 2026

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
Fandoms: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms

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 -

Summary
"Baelor pondered his answer. It was a simple matter, but not simple to say; there was his duty, and there was his pleasure, and he was ill-accustomed to the two meeting in anything approaching happy matrimony."

"You fought well," Baelor says, extending his hand, and Dunk takes it gratefully. It feels like an anchor, gives him something to focus on besides all the pain brimming up in his body.

Summary
In the Seven Kingdoms, only an alpha can be sworn a knight of the realm. Somehow, Dunk's gone this long without presenting as anything. But Ser Lyonel Baratheon has a talent for getting him hot under the collar.
Should mean nothing. Let the games begin.

Summary
"You think the lords will rally to your sister?" asked Stannis, skeptical. "They were failed badly by her brother, and she has no call on their loyalty except her name."
"It's a powerful name, Your Grace. The direwolf has flown its banner over the North for centuries; the Boltons can't wipe out that memory no matter how much blood they spill. If Lyanna Mormont and all the rest of them want a King in the North whose name is Stark, well." Jon shrugged as he tucked Sansa's message into his pocket. "It seems you've found her."

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.

a terrible idea by audreyii_fic, Like_A_Dove

Summary
“Should we have told Prince Aemond that Princess Lucenya was here not a fortnight ago, asking about his betrothal?” Kermit asks.
“No, you muppet,” Ser Elmo snaps. “Targaryen, Velaryon, Strong bastard, I don’t care their names. The dragons are obsessed with each other and we will not get involved.”
Aemond Targaryen and Lucenya Velaryon will not be seeing through their engagement… so the Great Houses would like to know why they’re refusing to wed anyone else.
(or: the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts never comes to an end because no one can figure out what in the seven hells is going on.)

Rex shifts to stare at Kix, next. And then Echo, with the same wide-eyed shock of a soldier who can’t believe he’s waking up in medbay after going down on the field. It doesn’t sit right, not on their captain.
“...symptoms,” he finally mutters. “Right. Well. Either I’m experiencing the worst visual and auditory hallucination I’ve ever had, or I seem to have jumped more than twenty years back in time.”
