Summary:
“Well, what you said was – a hundred gold. To the man who sticks you best.”
That peaked Ser Lyonel’s interest at last. He had a wild look about him, gazing up at Dunk through a cascade of salt-and-pepper curls, skin blushed from drink and glistening with sweat.
“Man. Beast. God. A giant, perhaps.”
"Yes, but –" Dunk tried to swallow down the nerves in his throat, “What’d I have to do for that? To stick you best.”
Lyonel’s lips split into a grin that bared his teeth, a flash of white in the dark.
“You think you can take the likes of me, lad?”
Dunk is completely oblivious to Lyonel coming onto him, until he isn’t.
Or: many metaphors fit both fighting and fucking in somewhat equal measure.

Sex scene as character study is so good. What is your relationship to your body? What is your relationship to your partner? What lessons have you absorbed from the culture about yourself as a sexual being? How much do you have to trust someone before being comfortable with intimacy? What fears and insecurities come to the fore for you when you take your clothes off? It's so good.
How do they communicate? How do they expect others to communicate? How well do they understand their body and their own capacity for pleasure? What do they tend to do to make their partner feel comfortable? How comfortable are they showing emotion in front of others? How much insight do they have into what their own emotions mean and are connected to? What are they focused on during the encounter? How conscious are they of exchanges of power and vulnerability? very very very good

S1 / Ashford tourney fic:
Into this world we're thrown by Terrantalen (E, 8K, D/s): “Dunk. Ser Dunk. Ser Duncan. Look at me.” Dunk did as he was bid though he had already been looking at Lyonel. It was difficult not to look at someone who had his face only inches from yours and was practically sitting in your lap.
In my teeth, a storm; in the storm, a star by wilderat (E, 7K, D/s): In which Lyonel picks himself a new plaything, and Ser Duncan the Tall learns a couple new tricks.
Taking the Reins by cellular_aspiration (E, 4K, D/s): When Dunk agreed to a late-night ride, this wasn't exactly what he was expecting.
Revelry b duesternis (E, 7K): There’s something about the young stallion, entirely unbroken, that has Lyonel leaning into it, moaning around the thumb in his mouth. If he were less drunk this might be dangerous.
Horns and All by Erisavatar (E, 2K): Lyonel laughed again, the melody of his deep voice making Dunk flush anew. “Well? You came to sup, and I have seen what an appetite you possess, let me offer you something else to swallow. Be a good boy and kneel before your Lord.”
big and shiny diamond by spqr (E, 10K, humour): Dunk and Lyonel accidentally get Stormlands married.
peeling velvet from the bone by WearyBlues (E, 2K): A stag hunts an aurochs through the dark forests of Ashford.
Post-S1 / Reunion fic:
thousand natural shocks by spqr (E, 7K): Lyonel held the chunk of bread to Dunk’s lips, and waited patiently. Dunk stared at him. “I’ve two hands,” he said, incredulous. “Yes, thanks to me,” said Lyonel. “Don’t be ungracious, Ser Duncan—open up.”
I'll make you maybe next time around by saltstreets (T, 6K) He couldn’t imagine that Lyonel would take kindly to having been passed over. In favor of House Targaryen, at that. “Seems to me,” he said gloomily, “he’ll either have forgotten the whole thing and will welcome me with unseemly quantities of wine and dancing, or he’ll skewer me on first sight as repayment for his wounded pride.” “Ah.” Egg looked solemn. “Those usually are the two options with high lords.”
blow the man down by irene_addling (E, 8K, D/s, humour) The night he arrives at Storm’s End, Dunk has unfinished business on his knees.
Ransom Gold by Gloaminghagette (M, 7K): A year after the tourney at Ashford, Dunk and Lyonel meet again by chance. Lyonel has a score to settle with the hedge knight. OR: Lyonel pierces Dunk's ear. That's it. That's the fic.
all along the way by oceansoflove (E, 16K): Dunk and Egg attend the wedding tourney of Lyonel's son.
let it go it was sworn to go by Moorishflower (E, 12K, feminisation kink): Dunk never felt so young as he did around Egg. Young, and terrified, and stupid. So he had to be tall, for the both of them, even though sometimes what he wanted, more than anything else, was for someone bigger and stronger and kinder to pat him on the head and tell him it would all be fine.
we're not too proud to cling together by kitebird (E, 8K, D/s, Lyonel/Dunk/OFC): Lyonel has a cousin ready to be married and a Dunk ready for a place to call home. Why not kill two birds with one marriage?
Bittersweet:
The oak in summer, the birch in fall by Anonymous (E, 10K, canon AU): Lyonel's pursuit of Dunk is complicated by a number of things, not the least of which is an actual miracle.
too little and too lately known by BeautifulSoup (E, 18K): Baelor is dead, and Dunk cannot bear the whispers. Half a year on from the tourney at Ashford, winter throws he and Lyonel together.
To the Victor by inwhatfurnace (M, 4K): Dunk sighs and rubs at his face. He wants breakfast. He wants to go back to bed. He wants to ride to Storm's End and strangle Lyonel Baratheon himself.
Yours, Dunk by avi17 (T, 5K, epistolary, post-mortem): Renly Baratheon, young and full of confusing feelings, discovers that he may not be as alone as he believes.
the bloom and the rose by irene_addling (E, 18K, lavender marriage): The bards sang that the day Lord Baratheon was wed, every hedge in the kingdom bloomed. (Or, Dunk goes to a wedding.)
Series:
heated chivalry by goddcoward (E, 22K) season one of AKOTSK, now with 500% more Dunk/Lyonel situationship!
I could use men like you by butchrust (E, 53K): long-term relationship
matters of hedge and storm by Indigosquid (E, 9K, D/s): Dunk is completely oblivious to Lyonel coming on to him, until he isn’t. Or: many metaphors fit both fighting and fucking in somewhat equal measure.
WIPs:
Breath as Hard as Kerosene by Gloaminghagette (M, currently 29K, book canon AU, politics) What if The Laughing Storm showed up in The Mystery Knight, and we turned the dial on the ol' yearn-o-meter up to 11.
To Take the White by slingzarrowz (E, currently 26K): Egg is now Aegon, a man grown. Attending a hastilude at Storm's End, Dunk considers where his future lies.
The Knight of the Storm by Cats_n_Bats (E, currently 78K, slowburn): duncan the tall has never once in his life believed he deserved anything good. lyonel baratheon has never once in his life met someone he couldn't charm into comfort. and then they meet each other and it goes extremely badly for both of them. the whole thing is basically: what happens when someone sees you accurately, before you've earned it, and doesn't look away.
A Knight's Journey Ends by Shadows_Keeper (T, currently 16K, humour, post book canon): Lyonel Baratheon is older than he ever thought he would be. He spends his days staring at the sea and cursing the gods who left him behind. After the tragedy at Summerhall the world no longer makes any sense to him. When a stable boy seeks him out with word that an old friend has come for supper, Lyonel learns that endings are not always what you expect, and the gods might have some kindness left in them after all.
from the earth to the unknown shore by captainkoirk (E, currently 17K, gothic horror): Lyonel told Dunk that home was brutally dull. Dunk finds that this is not the case.
Storm's End by ministerblue (M, currently 9K, eldritch horror): Dunk goes to Storm’s End with Ser Lyonel
The moon's too bright, the chain's too tight by turntuncle (M, currently 20K): Ser Duncan wins the Trial, and dies of his wounds an hour later. He wakes up in a grave that night. Ser Lyonel, on Storm's End, mourns a man. He has never been good at being gentle nor kind. A storm is coming.
As a sign of gratitude by Slava_Sparkle (E, currently 39K, sugardaddy!Lyonel) Dunk does actually visit Storm's End a year after Ashford. Lord Lyonel immediately surrounds him with hospitality that he's utterly unprepared for.
The Salt Road by Sabhairciin (M, currently 38K, slavery!AU, but set in the ASoIaF-verse): Taken by corsairs and sold into slavery near Meereen, Lyonel Baratheon escapes with just enough strength left to kill for his freedom. Dunk, a solitary tracker in Essos, is hired to hunt down a dangerous thief. Instead he finds a wounded man who should have died three times over and still comes at him with a knife. Dunk cuts him loose instead. Lyonel is not fool enough to trust mercy, but is left with the problem of surviving the road west beside a man foolish enough to offer it. Or. Lyonel bites people. Dunk is not deterred.
