    Summary

    In early spring of 209 AC, on the cusp of his heat, Lyonel Baratheon takes the hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall to his bed. It ought mean nothing. But when Baelor Breakspear survives the Trial of Seven, the hours Lyonel spent with the hedge knight and the babe that comes of them set in motion a cascade of changes that warp the fate of the realm.

    Plague, drought, politics -- Duncan has little opinion on any of them. He only knows that somewhere, at the point where the sky meets the sea, Lyonel is waiting for a true knight to return to him. But to become a man worthy of Lyonel Baratheon requires growth, and the Red Keep is quick to grind its heel upon the unwary.

    Summary

    Aerion screamed when Dunk took hold of his jaw, pushing his cheek into the mud, baring his throat. Father! he shouted, voice shrill with fear, eyes alight with terror, struggling beneath Dunk. In something like a frenzy, acting on a powerful wave of pure instinct, Dunk leaned down and firmly clamped his teeth onto the exposed skin of Aerion’s neck.

    -

    Dunk claims Aerion at the trial.

    Summary

    The anger came later, after they got home. It hit Jace seemingly out of nowhere, like something finally clicked. They’d been laying in bed in each other’s arms, in the quiet, and then Jace had tensed, and rolled away, and that had been that.

    The good days-- the now good days, not the before good days -- he cries or takes out fossilized hope and holds it in his hands like an old photograph, and lets Cregan hold it too.

    On the bad days… it’s this. Anger, with nowhere to go. A lonely fortress that they call The Spare Room, because nursery isn’t helpful.

    And it isn’t accurate.

     

    -

     

    There is a room upstairs in Jace and Cregan's house that sits empty. The Spare Room, they call it. But it is much more than that. It is a thousand hopes and dreams shattered. It is beige walls that should be bright. It is the place where Jace hides away on his bad days, the place where Cregan cannot follow.

    Summary

    “What then? You can’t mean to have a child out of wedlock.” Aemond waits for Luke to make some snappy retort, a denial. It doesn’t come.

    Luke looks down at his half-eaten ravioli—Aemond’s ravioli, really—and says, “If both parents legitimize, then it won’t be an issue.”

    Aemond feels a deep desire to put his head in his hands. He does—one hand, half-covering the only eye Luke left to him. With the other he pinches the bridge of his nose. “And who, pray tell, would father this child for you?”
