Summary
Daeron knows of tortures. Punishments dealt to thieves and traitors, rapists of women and murderers of children. He’s learnt that cruelty is infinitely creative, and that hatred, once stirred, is bottomless to match. For the crime of high treason, men are tied to horses and torn limb from limb. Standing between his uncles, he thinks he knows how that feels.

Summary
He watched Criston tuck himself back into his breeches, resisting the urge to reach out and help as he had many times before. He hated how long he had been coming to this tent, searching for something that had clearly run its course. There was a time when these encounters were not nearly as bleak, a time when there was passion born out of the thrill of surviving for as long as they had. But somewhere along the road, survival had started to lose its luster.
//
Set sometime around 3x05.

Summary
"No one loves a dog any better if it presents itself to be kicked," Gwayne snapped. "You talk of devotion, and service, and you may think me a ponce and a preening, arrogant fool, but I too am a knight, ser, and I know what it is to serve. To be dutiful is honourable; to devote oneself to a valiant cause, that is honourable. But to prostrate yourself before an altar you yourself erected, and then to seek to die of shame upon it: that is not devotion. It is pathetic. It is self-serving.”
On campaign, Criston Cole takes up with Gwayne Hightower. It starts out as convenience. Then it becomes something else. Then something else again.

Summary
“Did you forget the little encounter we had on the road to Rosby?”
Heat and putrid meat and a screeching doom at their backs.
“I did not.”
The simplicity of his answer had Gwayne scrambling for purchase. He thought Criston had gone mad, he thought his outward hostility had turned to a death wish. “Dragonstone and their dragons are just across the bay… what? Grown tired of living, have you?”
After having almost been driven mad by him, Criston now held Gwayne in the palm of his hand, along with all the answers the man hadn’t been able to pry from him. “Are you afraid, Ser?” he asked, and could hear the weight in his own tone, the subtle invitation to escalate.
Neither man broke eye contact, and Gwayne drew ever closer to Criston’s horse. “Worse, I’m rational.” His eyes were wide and round, a stormy mix of greys and blues, begging to be let in or let go.
“We advance.”

Baelor smiles, full of teeth and delight, “Very well then. Since you are so confident of your abilities, there is no need for a head start, hm?”
“Now you are just cheating.”
“I am just giving your words back to you.”
“Give me five seconds.”
“Three.”
Maekar squints, and then shrugs, “Fine. You will lose either way.”

In This Moment by ProfessorPlum
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV)
02 Mar 2026

Summary
The little moments gathered together as if collected by delicate fingers and compiled by practiced hands. Bound in love and lust and loyalty. A vicious devotion and a blinding allegiance. Maekar saw in his brother a sovereignty, a refined dedication, a powerful shadow, and yet he could not leap the last hurdle that might cast them together. Until that moment
___________________Baelor felt as flawed as flagstone, as raw and abrasive as brick work. There were many moments he could not find pride in, ones that damned him and shamed him, but others still that welcomed him in his brother's embrace. As memories faded in favor of feelings, Baelor shed all these moments. For in him, a desperation, a truth so great it felt as terrible and brilliant as dragon fire.

Summary
His life was fucking woe.
It was a three-letter word that Maekar wore like a noose, teasing him up on toe tips and strangling his existence. It found him ill and named him fetid. He would suffer the wounded shadow of Baelor's stray light if it meant he might bask in his brother's brightness.

Summary
Baelor has been a widower for less than a year when his father says he is to wed again.
You need a comely omega with a pleasing manner, he tells his son, and Baelor nods, ever obedient even when he wishes to argue.
Your brother has come of age, the king continues, there is no one better suited for you than he.
Baelor nods once more as his father drones on, speaking of Maekar’s attributes as though he is some foreign omega, and not Baelor’s own brother.
There is no need for a delay, the king finishes. You will wed in a fortnight.
And so it is arranged.

Summary
And these moments never keep. Baelor is bound to remember himself soon, withdraw his hand and put his mouth back into some court-fit shape. Tidy himself as if he hadn’t been standing there half-undone with Aerion between his knees. Or most likely Aerion will spoil it first, greedy little beast he is– born for undoing, still takes with both hands. Lies to himself and thinks he’s in love.
A collection of ten moments in time.

Summary
Baelor swept a hand up Aerion's torso, feeling over the softness of his red gambeson before it parted for the thin, light chain beneath. Baelor frowned and scoffed, reaching down and under the gambeson to lift both it and the chainmail enough to see that the boy wore nothing between his pale skin and the mail. "Still don't know how to dress yourself? After all these years? You must be rubbed raw beneath it if you've been walking about in it all day."
"I don't mind it much, uncle… it reminds me of something," Aerion practically purred, leaning forth to reach a hand up, brushing over the coarseness of Baelor's beard; that did bring a curl of amusement to the older man's lips, though he doubted it was the entire truth of it.

Summary
Baelor's mouth opened and closed, though his hold on Aerion's hip remained firm, his other hand stretched out and sliding up the other's thigh. "Stay a moment… you have nowhere to be, I'd wager?"
Aerion frowned, lip curling like he had the taste of a nasty little retort on his tongue. "Suppose I don't. You just seem awful eager to be rid of me most other times."
He knew what Aerion looked like when he was fishing for pity, and it stung to know he wasn't doing so when he said such a thing. It was an inarguable fact, and he'd long given up testing that.

Summary
Mike turns his head to the left and sees himself in a giant mirror.
It's like looking at a stranger. The green beanie he borrowed from Lucas is askew, slipping off to the side, exposing his matted greasy curls and a long bloody bruise down the side of his face that he can no longer remember acquiring. He is not crying, but his eyes are bloodshot as though he could start at any moment.
He doesn't feel like he will, though. He thinks he will never feel anything again.

Summary
It’s too much and not enough. Whitaker nods anyway. When he nods too much he feels like a novelty bobblehead on somebody’s dashboard, which is to say, ornamental and a hazard. He tries for wry and lands on damp. “I wasn’t spying,” he says. “I was, technically, trespassing.”
“On your own hospital?”
“It doesn’t feel like mine yet.”
Robby makes a small noise behind his teeth. Then he unzips the hoodie, shrugs out of it in that absent, practised way he has with kit and moral limits, and drapes it around Whitaker’s shoulders in a single, unarguable movement. The heat of it embarrasses Whitaker – it’s the narrowness of the interval between Robby’s body and his – somewhere between intimacy and loan agreement.
