Summary
She hugs him, her little arms around his neck, black hair touching his jaw. It tickles a little, but he couldn't care less. She smells like sweat and baby shampoo and Neil's chest burns.
He loves her. He loves her and he asks himself how he didn't before.

Summary
Baelor and Maekar have been married for more than twenty years, and have a whole gaggle of children. They only wed out of duty, but they’ve been reasonably content together. Baelor certainly wouldn’t complain. After all, he loves Maekar. He’s not in love with Maekar, but the best interests of the realm have always trumped those kind of personal considerations. They’ve been happy enough.
But then comes Ashford Meadow, and the Trial of Seven. In the aftermath, Baelor and Maekar find themselves stewing in mutual anger and resentment. Their stable, boring marriage has firmly hit the rocks. They’re barely able to be in the same room without arguing. They’re also, for the first time in their lives, helplessly attracted to each other.

Summary
On his eighth nameday, Maekar brought his first dagger to a royal smith, who delighted in a boy’s first communion with the Warrior. Craftsman hand on princeling wrist, he guided Maekar to reverently feel the coarse grains of steel with the pad of a thumb. Preached to him that a blade was defined by its absence just as much as its substance. To only trust in an edge starved thin.
“A good sword needs discipline, my Prince.”
Growing up, Maekar learned to survive on very little. Fourth sons ought not to ask for much, if at all. Baelor disagreed.

Summary
“Ziyuan,” Jiang Fengmian asks one evening as both him and his wife are preparing for bed. “Do you notice how our youngest tends to attract…a different sort of trouble?”
Ziyuan, who’s been busy removing her pearl earrings, goes still. She looks at him through the reflection of her vanity mirror. “Trouble? Our A-Cheng?” The unspoken ‘how absurd’ tacked on to the end is as clear as day. Still, she asks, “What do you mean?”
Ah, how can he put this delicately without sounding preposterous? “By trouble I mean in the form of attention.” A pause. “Lots of attention. Possibly in the form of, uh, seasoned gentlemen.”
Yu Ziyuan turns around and gives him a long, quiet stare. “Fengmian,” she enunciates slowly, carefully, “are you telling me that our son is a magnet for perverted old men?”
