Summary
It is disagreed upon how the deity who resides below the Earth, who watches over all souls after they die, whose name like the dripping of water far underground might sound to human ears like Edwin, came to know of Charles’ plight.
[...]
Where the stories agree, however, is that once Charles’ plight was revealed to him, he could not bring himself to allow such suffering to continue any longer. And so, from his shadowed palace unfathomably deep beneath the ground, he stepped through his glittering marble floor to the mirrored surface of the lake far above.-
The meeting of two deities one fateful summer's day.

Summary
Daeron Targaryen was cut off from the royal family two years ago. There was to be no contact, no money, no mention in the holiday broadcast.
His family didn't seem to read the same legal notice he'd been forced to sign.
Aerion keeps wiring money that freezes his bank account. Aegon tracked him down to the coffee shop he works at now. And his married cousin, Valarr, keeps showing up after dark at his Flea Bottom apartment.
Daeron would like everyone to stop. He would especially like to mean it.
His coworker, Dunk, who is usually incredibly patient about everything, is tired of cleaning up the chaos they leave in Daeron's life. He's going to do something about it, and no, that's not because he's in love with Daeron or anything like that.Bookmarked by dumpsterlife

Summary
"The crown suits you, you know," said Ser Duncan over the cacophony, and brought Baelor back to himself. "Makes you look... you know. Kingly. Which I suppose makes sense, given that 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.
