    Summary

    He's better than Ormund at many things, always has been. Dueling (not grappling, never grappling), riding (but not hunting), humility over pride.

    Over the many years, he's learned that throwing the fight has a better outcome than beating his lordly cousin in any competition.

    Ormund is the Head of Hightower House, after all. Sometimes the knee must be bent.

    ------------------------------------


    "He was awful to you, earlier." Daeron looked distinctly uncomfortable as they sat together in what now passed for Gwayne's room in Tumbleton, a chess board between them. His nephew was wringing his hands as though they were wet rags and Daeron a washerwoman. "Those things he said..."

    {The false empathic look, paired with 'I'm sure you found solace with some of your brothers in arms'}

    Gwayne stared at the floor, counting the cracks he found there. "Put it from your mind, Daeron. It was meant to humiliate me, not you. Long has he missed throwing his knives at me, in my absence. That is all that was. His idea of fun. A warm welcome home, if you will."

    Summary

    Gwayne digs his sword-blistered fingers into Ser Dunk’s shoulders. Feels the meat of the muscle he’s built there. The heft of him.

    “You are a good and comely man. It’s not unusual, in wartime, for brothers-in-arms to find solace in each other when willing women are few and far between.”

    Dunk’s breath hitches in that barrel chest. Tentatively, Dunk’s fingers tug at the bottom of Gwayne’s shirt — at the ballooning edge that’s tucked into his leathers. A small victory.

    “I know,” Dunk responds balefully. “I’ve had my cock down another man’s throat before. Just wasn’t expecting someone like you to proposition me. No offense.”

    ***

    OR: If Dunk had been borned a few generations earlier. Found himself in the Green's army. Caught the eye of a certain Hightower knight.

    Summary

    “Care to dance?” I jested feebly as he steadied me. “We already do,” he responded, almost seriously. “It certainly seems that way,” I replied, matching my tone to his and swaying in his arms.

    Or

    An alternate ending to a memorable evening.

    Summary

    "...To demand transformation. Obedience. Respect. You understand that impulse some, I think."

    I looked aside. "I don't know about that. I heard how you and Chade were bickering over me earlier. I'm a serving man to you both, a tool. What could I possibly know about commanding anyone or anything?"

    The knife stilled in the air. "Would you like to learn?" the Fool asked softly.

    "Learn what?" I returned, just as quietly. My stomach hurt. My groin did, too.

    "What it is like," the Fool whispered, setting the knife aside and staring across the table at me avidly, "To be obeyed without question. To be the master, not the man-at-arms."

    Fitz and Beloved pass a heated and tender night together on the eve of the Prince's quest. Conversation is had, secrets are shared, and even more are guarded jealously.
