   Summary

   Valarr fights for Dunk, Baelor doesn't die. Instead, he finds himself intrigued by the hedge knight. After ser Duncan leaves Ashford Meadow with Egg in tow, the prince cannot forget about the man. As years grow, he finds he misses his blunt honesty more and more. And when he learns of a Blackfyre plot brewing at Whitewalls, there is only one thing he can do...

   Basically a "Baelor Targaryen Lives AU" where he pines after Dunk without ever realizing it's pining. Also introducing extremely sassy Maekar and constantly annoyed Bloodraven.
