    Summary

    It might one day be funny to Lyonel, that he left Duncan to wait for him far longer than he himself had waited in Ashford for the hedge knight, but for now the thought was an open wound.

    Summary

    The stairwell is chilly and quiet. Neither speaks and Dunk’s heart pounds in his ears. He wonders if Lyonel can hear it, echoing off the cold, dark stone. Up and up they go, higher into the tower. and Dunk wonders if they’re going to the roof so Lyonel can throw him off into the sea. He wonders if it would hurt to hit the waves, or if he would die on impact. Were I a bird or a fish, this would not be a problem, as I would just fly or swim away. Were Egg a dragon, he would catch me.

    Summary

    duncan the tall has never once in his life believed he deserved anything good. lyonel baratheon has never once in his life met someone he couldn't charm into comfort. and then they meet each other and it goes extremely badly for both of them.

    lyonel sees duncan immediately. like, embarrassingly immediately, and spends the entire story quietly making room for a man who has no idea how to take up space that's been offered freely. duncan spends the entire story watching for the catch that isn't coming and slowly, painfully, running out of reasons to keep watching.

    it's a slow burn. there's a tourney, there's a war, trial by combat, separation and there's twenty years of aftermath. there are two men who are completely different in every way that matters to the world and completely necessary to each other in every way that doesn't. there's a lot of not saying things. there's a lot of saying things with your hands or your silence or by staying in the room slightly longer than you needed to.

    the whole thing is basically: what happens when someone sees you accurately, before you've earned it, and doesn't look away.

    (it wrecked me to write it so hopefully it wrecks you to read it)
