    Summary

    The man at the back of the auditorium begins to walk forward. He is tall, bulky, has an almost menacing gravity to him. Dunk freezes as the silver hair makes him unmistakeable. Maekar Targaryen. A concert violinist, one of the best playing right now, still top billing at any concert he deigns to perform in. Most known now for his work as part of the Dracarys Quartet with his brothers. Lyonel hisses between his teeth.

    “You've played Gyldayn's fourth quartet in G minor, as part of an end of term recital,” he says, violet eyes pinning Dunk. Dunk nods. “My brother Baelor says you were the best part of that performance two years ago. We find ourselves in need of a 'cellist for tomorrow night's concert.”

    When Duncan Pennytree, final year student at the Oldtown Conservatoire, suddenly finds himself playing the 'cello with the Dracarys Quartet, he is not just playing with a group that has influenced classical music across Westeros for decades, but with a man who, without a doubt, saved his life when he was an orphan in Fleabottom. If only he knew it.

    Summary

    “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to fucking bitch me out.”

    “Hullo, Paddy. You’re looking well.”

    Or perhaps he simply looks like the version of him Bill used to know – clean shaven and sun-blasted – and maybe, after all this time, there is a kind of comfort in that.

    --

    Or: after one of David's hiking trips ends in disaster, Paddy and Bill would be glad if they never crossed paths again, only to run into each other years later.

    Summary

    It is a business arrangement. Trade routes lined out, taxes reduced, documents signed, hands shaken. Maris Morrigen is a bargaining chip, a boon to her kin. Second wife of the Anvil, his sons having been too unsettled to marry her too. So she marries a man who has six children already, a man grown, a man made, fifteen years older than she. He tells her on their wedding night: there will be no more children, there will be no foolishness and childhood fantasy of what lies between them. It was duty that bound them.

    For it, she would have wealth, only be expected to help raise the last three of his children, and they could live their separate lives. It is a…strange existence from the life Septas tell girls they will live. But not cruel. There are worse fates to face.

    Summary

    Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.

    Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.
