    Summary

    “The Prince needs a sworn sword?” Dunk blinked at the two brothers, certain he must have misheard.

    “A sworn shield,” Baelor corrected. The distinction seemed to matter.

    “The title will be spoken publicly as a reward. A reconciliation. The prince you fought against now honours your valour and accepts that the Gods judged you to be innocent. A tale of chivalry restored, of a dragon gracious in defeat. Songs will smooth the rest.”

    “And in truth?” Dunk asked before he could stop himself.

    Maekar did not look away. “In truth, you will ensure my son does not forget what that day has cost.”

    “You would have me... watch him.”

    “I would have you guard him,” Baelor replied at once. “My nephew needs protection; from blades, from poison—"

    “—and from himself.” Prince Maekar’s voice followed harder.

    Baelor survives his injuries at Ashford and takes charge of the fallout. Determined to cure Aerion’s deepening psychosis, he brings his nephew to King’s Landing to guide him and help him master his darker impulses. Until then, the unstable prince will need guarding, from others as well as himself. Baelor chooses an unlikely protector: The Hedge Knight.

    Summary

    After Princes Daeron and Aegon go missing, no one expects for the same fate to happen to Aerion Targaryen.

    Dunk, while walking through the alleys of Flea Bottom, stumbles upon something he cannot unsee: a cloaked man, barely conscious, being dragged into a brothel.

    Aerion, stripped of his name, his face, and everything that marks him as Targaryen, is reduced to something unrecognizable. He clings to pride and anger as long as he can, until even that is taken from him, and he finally breaks.

    But despite what Aerion becomes, Dunk doesn’t give up. He doesn’t hurt him, force him, or look at him with anything other than patience and gentleness. Aerion waits for him to snap, but he never does.

    Slowly, Aerion stops fighting. He lets Dunk help. Lets him stay. Lets him touch him. And in that surrender, he begins to feel things that he’s never felt before.

    Or: After a single mistake, Aerion falls into the hands of those who force him into a life he’d rather die than endure. When he is finally reunited with his family, he is no longer the man he was, yet the one thing he clings to is a stubborn hedge knight who refused to leave him.

    Summary

    Aerion “Brightflame” Targaryen is a man sure of himself. He is never unmoored, never questioning.

    Unfortunately, the hedge knight who bested him being thrust into his daily life threatens these certainties.

    He hates it, he hates him, but he’s learning quickly that he holds far less control than he once believed.

     

    After an attack leaves Aerion indefinitely unable to speak, it seems the only one capable of understanding him is the very person he wishes to be known by the least.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the trial of seven, Baelor Targaryen yet lives, and the realm lingers in uneasy silence as the days pass without sign of the prince stirring. Ashford Castle has become little more than an open grave, vultures circling in the form of whispering lords while grief clings to its halls.

    In the shadow of those days, Dunk finds no rest. His body remains battered and bloodied, his thoughts circling endlessly around guilt and a rage that has settled on one man alone.

    Peace will not come to him, least of all when Aerion Targaryen steps into his chamber one night, bruised and furious, a knife in his hand and very much alive.

    Carrying with him something the trial had only awakened.
