    Summary

    “So, according to your account… nothing out of the ordinary happened in that cabin?” He turned his gaze back to the knight, an irritated grunt escaping his throat when the prince tried to pull the dagger back.

    “N-No…”

    The two counselors exchanged quick glances and stood, making their way out of the room. Duncan shifted slightly as they left, as if something were about to ignite right there.

    Maekar rose to his feet, the scrape of his chair ringing sharply in the knight’s ears.

    “Curious. Truly very curious, Ser Duncan,” he growled, his tone edged with aggression. “Because today, just before sunrise, Maesters came knocking at my door with news that this man—” he pointed at Aerion, who raised his thin brows, “my second son, is carrying a child at this very moment.”

    Duncan felt a sharp pain behind his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had never opened them as wide as he did when he heard it.

     

    (OR, Duncan is forced to choose between duty and desire in a world that would destroy them both)

    Summary

    “Duncan.” Aerion said firmly. His face tightened for a moment before relaxing completely, large lilac eyes looking at him pleadingly. “I am still cold. Stay with me.”

    Duncan froze, his feet seeming to have been nailed to the wooden floor. His breath faltered, his heart pounding hard. Blue eyes fixed on the pale violet ones, a silent argument passing between them, a tug-of-war to see who would give in first.

    “Come sleep.”

    Aerion said it, the invitation sounding far too dangerous, yet Duncan found himself moving toward the man. His feet moved on their own.

    “Is that an order?”

    “No…” Aerion whispered, his voice low and seductive like the song of a siren. “Just a request.”

     

    (Or, after enduring the hardships of winter, Aerion and Duncan realized that sharing each other’s warmth might be the only way to survive a cruel night.)

    Summary

    "What are you saying?" Maekar demanded. "You are telling me my son is already dead."

    "I am offering a choice, Prince Maekar," the maester stammered, pulling a Valyrian steel scalpel out of his satchel.

    The blade caught the flickering orange candlelight, wickedly sharp. "A horrific choice. We can wait for him to wake. We can pray to the Crone that the nerves have settled, though I swear to you on my chain, it is a fatal gamble. If the fire returns, he will die screaming."

    The maester slowly lowered the scalpel, pointing the blade toward the lower half of Aerion's spine.

    "Or… I take my blade. I go beneath the shattered ribs, past the lung, and I intentionally sever the spinal cord entirely. I cut the nerves dead."


    Aerion receives the blow of the mace, and Maekar has to choose between killing the body or killing the spirit. Whatever the outcome is, Dunk is charged to mend the broken dragon. Inspired by Me Before You.
