I love dunk’s first reaction to lyonel like he saw the most beautiful angel he ever encountered it’s only lacking the romantic music
And it’s MUTUAL LOVE LIKE LOOK AT THEM AFTER ONE DANCE
How there’s no rumours about them having affair, LYONEL BARATHEON DANCING WITH RANDOM KNIGHT THEN LET HIM WEAR HIS CROWN, THEN FIGHT FOR HIM AND THAT KNIGHT CALL HIM JUST LYONEL LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING
AU where Baelor, Brynden, and Maekar return from Redgrass to find that the Red Keep had been attacked. Jena, Dyanna, Daeron II, and Myriah are alright, their guards managed to get them to the safe room and defended it until order could be restored but Valarr, Daeron, and Aerion are missing.
The boys (Valarr and Daeron are both 6, Aerion is 3) had all been sneaking outta bed exploring when the attack on the Keep happened. They went rushing into the secret passageways and eventually popped out of an old tunnel under the ruins of the Dragon Pit. They were too afraid to go back and in their little kid brains they assumed everyone was dead, not helped by seeing smoke in the sky when they looked towards the keep.
Dunk (aged 16), doesn't follow after Arlan. Instead, he goes off running in grief and pain to hide in the ruins of the dragonpit, which was his and Rafe's favoured haunt. There, he finds the boys. They're terrified, but Valarr notices that Dunk's injured and asks if he got hurt in the attack on the keep. Dunk explains that he got hurt trying to avenge his friend who was murdered. The boys are horrified, but they help Dunk to tend his leg anyway.
Dunk asks what they're doing in the pit, they tell Dunk that they need to get out of the city. That it's not safe anymore, but they can't articulate why other than 'the bad men killed everyone!'. And Dunk doesn't really want to stay in the city either, given the Gold Cloaks killed Rafe. So, he just shrugs and guides them outta the city.
Aerion's blatant purple eyes and silver hair should have probably been a hint about their identity, but dragonseeds are not rare in Flea Bottom and Dunk just assumed he was a dragonseed. Same for Valarr and his silver streak and purple eye. It doesn't help that they all give him bullshit names. Valarr is Val, Daeron is Ron, and Aerion becomes Arry.
Dunk spends the next month or so quietly freaking out like 'oh my gosh, I just became a single father of three!!' but he's leaning in to it, you know? He wanted a family, and Rafe told him to go out and find a family, and he has. He is. He will.
Dunk teaches the boys how to forage for berries and things. He and Rafe had learned as a necessity when they just could not get any coin for any food in the City. They'd learned how to trap and skin animals from an old, kind ranger who had seen no harm in teaching them, and now Dunk teaches that to the boys, too.
They travel from village to village, earning coin from odd jobs here and there. Dunk helps to build a barn for a farmer, and gets enough coin for new coats and things for the boys, because the clothes they'd been wearing when he'd found them were good quality, but not made to stand up to the harshness of the road. (just assume they weren't wearing anything with dragons on it at the time of the attack)
A baker in one town gives them food and teaches them to bake in return for Dunk helping the baker's son chop enough firewood to replenish their stocks for the approaching winter. Passing hedgeknights teach Dunk the basics of sword fighting, but they're not willing to take on a squire, especially not one with three kids trailing in his shadow. Dunk learns whatever they're willing to teach him, anyway.
Daeron starts having dreams around the age of 10, Dunk packs them all up and heads to the Isle of Faces, because he's always heard stories about the Green Men. The spend the next nine years on the Isle with the Green Men and the small group of Children of the Forest that survive hidden there. Daeron learns how to quiet his dreams enough that they don't haunt his every waking moment. Dunk, Valarr, and Aerion all learn the arts of war from the Green Men. Aerion learns how to properly process his own emotions (it is a work in progress).
Eventually, Daeron dreams of a tourney at a ford covered in ash. There are dragons there that Daeron and the others need to meet... Daeron and Valarr remember their time in the big Red Keep. They remember being carried about by the men they called father, before Dunk. They remember the women they once called mother. The know that there is a chance these dragons they're to meet at Ashford are the fathers they long thought dead.
On the other hand, Aerion doesn't remember anything before Dunk. In his mind, Dunk has always been his father, and Valarr and Daeron his eldest brothers, that's just the way things are and have always been and he's fine with that. Still, if Daeron and Valarr are going to Ashford, then Aerion will go with them, because they're his brothers. He won't be separated from them. Dunk's coming too, of course...
They pass by King's Landing, all of them eyeing it warily, and trying not to get to close to it. In the Kingswood, they meet the party of Lyonel Baratheon, traveling to Ashford. Lyonel has visited the Isle of Faces now and again over the last few years and he's happy to see them. They agree to travel together the rest of the way to Ashford.
In Ashford, Baelor catches a glimpse of Valarr and rushes to follow after him. Seeing Valarr is like getting punched in the gut because Valarr reminds Baelor so greatly of himself, and of the boy his eldest son could have been... Valarr knows he's being followed, but not by who and he doesn't figure that out until he pops up at the Elm looking wide eyed at Daeron and Aerion, and they all turn to find Baelor there.
Baelor looks from the boy who could have been his son, to the boys who looks so much like his lost nephews and there is... there is no way this is just a coincidence, right? It cannot be. There's just no way! There's shouting behind him and he turns to find Maekar rushing to catch up with him. They'd left the Kingsguard far behind.
They're all just staring at each other, and then Dunk comes wondering back to the Elm like 'hey, I made new friends! This Apple Boy is so ni- uhm. Boys. Have we been getting into trouble?'
Valarr, Aerion, Daeron: No, dad! Dunk: Right. Why do I not believe you? Aerion: It's not even my fault this time! It was Val! Valarr: Well, fuck me, I guess, little brother! Aerion: You're the one who led them straight here! Valarr: I wanted back up to deal with whoever was following me! Daeron: Never considered myself to be backup. I'm not sure I like it. Leave me out of it next time! Valarr: Ugh, as if I was talking about you, Ron. I meant Arry and Dad! Aerion: What do you want me to do about it?! I'm not punching some princes for you. Dunk: Princes?!?! Daeron: You didn't hear the royal party arrived? Dunk: I was too busy being plied with cider. Sorry. Daeron: Ooh, was it good? Dunk: Very good! We've been invited to- Valarr: Can we please focus? Aerion: No, but if we keep going, I think the one that looks like me might burst a blood vessel! Dunk: Arry!!! Aerion: Oh, that's mean, right? Sorry! I'm working on being a better person! Valarr: Why am I fucking related to any of you?! Why did the gods curse me like this?! Daeron: Now who's being a little drama queen? (at a sputtering Baelor and a fuming Maekar) I am so sorry about them. But hey, on the plus side, it's nice to see you both survived. We weren't sure about that for awhile, actually! Valarr: Ron! Stop talking, you're just going to make things worse! Daeron: DEFINE WORSE, VAL?!?!
Next thing you know, Dunk, Baelor, and Maekar are all having panic attacks while the boys argue over whose fault that is... Eventually, it ends up being Baelor/Dunk/Maekar... and Valarr gets his own personal set of guards to keep him from running off to go become a Green Man for real because he doesn't wanna be king ever... (they all survive the Spring Sickness)
Anyone done a time travelling Aemon yet?
Like the dude has his whole 'Egg!!!! I dreamed I was old!!' Thing and dies and he wakes up in Old town young af and able to fucking SEE and he has like 5 minutes of euphoria, thinking it was just some dumb dream... only for the rest of that week to go by in a deja vu haze... then he gets the letter from Egg whining about being made to squire for Daeron even though he knows Daeron's not gonna do anything at the tourney...
Aemon's like rushing to throw off his maesters robes because fuck this because fuck it. Fuck it. Fuck it!!! He watched his family destroy themselves at every turn for decades while he could do NOTHING and he won't fucking do it again!! Not again. Please! He can't!!!
And this one time he told his baby brother to kill the boy and let the man be born but Aemon never did it!!! He never, ever, ever did it, because he swore his vows when he was a boy and he kept to them and they never meant anything. They never saved anyone!! No one that mattered! And if the Long Night really is coming then a stable realm is better than one on the brink of absolute destruction.
So.
Fuck.
It!
Aemon runs away from the Citadel, boards the first ship sailing for Storm's End.
As they're getting ready to fuck off from Summerhall for Ashford Maekar gets a letter that Aemon has disappeared from the Citadel! He's a fucking mess about it... and the he gets to Ashford and fucking Egg and Daeron are missing now too?!?!?! What's happening?!?!
Baelor is a lot more concerned about this than in canon, because now it doesn't just look like his nephews got waylaid, it looks like they got targeted. He has people out searchinf everywhere.
Meanwhile, Lyonel's party rocked up to Ashford with this new kid. Very quiet, very kind, but gods there is a fire in that boys purple eyes! Lyonel finds out about the missing princes and keeps sending Aemon looks like 🤔🤔🤔 then he meets Dunk and his small, purple eyed, wild child and is doubly 🤔🤔🤔🧐🧐🧐 especilaly when Egg and Aemon are there yelling 'EGG!!!' "EMO!!!' at each other which are suspiciously close to Aegon and Aemon...
He says nothing.
The thing with Tanselle goes down and while Egg goes running off for Dunk, Aemon goes running off for Baelor, bursting into his comandeered study like 'Uncle, if gou ever loved me come with me right now!!!!!' And Baelor has so many fucking questions!!!! But he goes, anyway cos it seems important... but by the time they arrive Aemon finds Egg was faster and Dunk has already punched and kicked Aerion. Aemon is like 😓
Things go a little better, in that Daeron accuses Dunk of kidnapping Egg and Aemon demands to know what they're going to do about Lord Lyonel, then, because if it is a crime to take in a boy pretending at being an orphan than Lord Baratheon is guilty, too!!! Lyonel is summoned, gets told what's happening and immediately demands a trial by combat with his accuser... Daeron goes all wide eyed, looking at Lyonel and Dunk and withdraws his accusation that Dunk kidnapped Egg, thus the implied accusation against Lyonel is withdrawn... Aerion still gets his trial of the Seven though. Aemon is furious. Yells that his father is a coward who never could do what was right for all of them rather than just right for Aerion and that if anyone in their family deserved to be exiled for good it was Aerion!!!
Then he runs off... to Steeley Pate to have a new armour made for Baelor... Egg's busy gathering the gang... Maekar and Baelor are so fucking confused!
Early the next morning, Aemon goes rushing into Baelor's room with a bag of armour and interupts Baelor trying to squeeze himself into Valarr's armour (visioning it like where you're trying to squeeze into last year's jeans) and Baelor is like 'ah... I can explain' and Aemon's like 'no time. Don't care. Put this shit on! Don't die! Love you, uncle, bye!!' Baelor is just ???? But happily puts on the bigger set of armour...
And survives the Trial. Dunk swears to him. There's a big fight over Aerion's exhile to Lys. Aemon writes out the Night's Watch vows, then he shoves the parchment into Baelor's chest then goes to go chill with Egg and Dunk (and Lyonel) at the Elm...
Aerion goes to the Wall and Aemon has to figure out how to get his whole family to spontaneously decide they need to visit Dorne for a year or two to avoid a plague they don't know is coming...
Time travel Valarr au. He dies of the Sickness in the Red Keep and opens his eyes unbelievably back in Ashford, watching Egg go rushing past him with Ser Duncan. He realises, somehow, that this is the night of the Puppet show, where everything went wrong and goes rushing after his cousin and his father's sworn man. He's hoping to get there in time to be the one to hit Aerion, but he's too late. He needs a way to save his father salvage this and so he acts like he commanded Ser Duncan to stop Aerion, and he prays that Ser Duncan goes along with the ruse.
In the keep, he refuses to be separated from Egg or Ser Duncan, because that's how things start to spread beyond what he can control. So, instead, his father and uncle are brought to the hall, where Aerion immediately launches in to telling them about how he was attacked. Valarr asks Aerion to explain why he was attacked and Aerion dismissively says he was disciplining a puppeteer who thought to mock their house. Valarr asks how a story about a dragon killed thousands upon thousands of years before the Valyrian empire rose could be an insult to their house? Aerion says that's not the point, the point is that he was attacked!! Valarr declares that Ser Duncan attacked Aerion on his orders and so if any punishment for the attack on Aerion should fall upon anyone, then it should be him, for giving the command.
Baelor interrupts to ask Valarr why he would ever give that command. Valarr answers like "I swore oaths, father, to protect all women, to defend the innocent. Ser Duncan swore these oaths. You have sworn these oaths. Seven Hells, father, Aerion has sworn these oaths. He may choose to so proudly forswear himself, but not I!"
Baelor asks why Valarr did not stop Aerion himself. Valarr answers that Ser Duncan was simply faster than he, and Valarr knew he would get there sooner. Baelor can smell something rotten, but he's willing to follow his son's play in this, so when Maekar starts demanding punishment for Dunk, Baelor just sighs.
"This is an internal matter for House Targaryen. Ser Duncan acted under the command of Prince Valarr to stop Prince Aerion's senseless assault of an innocent woman. I see no reason this should devolve further," he says.
"Baelor, my son-"
"Has admitted to forswearing himself. As Hand of the King, I strip from him the title of Knight and all the rights and accolades that go with such title. He shall not be knighted again except by my will or that of the King," Baelor says, turning to give Aerion a dark look. "Ser Wylde, I command you to see to the degradation." Aerion sputters, demanding to know why, even as Ser Wylde steps forward to hack the spurs from his heels, take his sword, and shield, and his coat of arms.
Baelor just dismisses everyone, except Valarr who he commands to follow him to the study. The moment the door is shut he demands to know why Valarr has lied on Dunk's behalf.
"I've never been a dreamer, father, but I understand my cousin's oddities a lot more now than I ever have before. If I did not intercede, by noon tomorrow, you would be dead by Uncle Maekar's hand."
"Valarr-"
"I know it sounds like madness, father. But it is the truth. You caution Ser Duncan to ask for Trial by Combat, but Aerion is a coward and he demands a Trial of Seven. You borrow my armour and ride on one side, uncle, Aerion, Daeron, and the Kingsguard ride on the other. And when all is said and done... I watch you burn on a pyre, the back of your skull smashed out by uncle's mace. If I must lie to save you, then I will do it, father. I never swore any oaths to be honest, just brave and just, and there is nothing just about how this would have been handled."
"Valarr-"
"And Ser Duncan never kidnapped Egg, either. Daeron was too drunk to notice when Egg pretend to be an orphan and snuck away to squire for the first knight he could find. We're lucky he found Ser Duncan and not a knight just like Aerion or I have to think uncle would been returning even now with his body. I don't know what's wrong with Uncle Maekar's children, father, and-" Valarr's really struggling to just... fucking stop talking. Baelor pulls him into a hug and Valarr just breaks... clutching at his clothes and sobbing 'you were gone. You were gone. You were fine and then you were gone!'
first time staying the night
dunk's flat
The way he throws his cloak sends me.....those kids have my man stressed the fuck OUT
Gif not mine**
do you blame yourself?
Wildling Dunk being captured by Lyonel (he was on a world tour and ended up fighting alongside some northerners against Dunk's clan) he bought Dunk to heel and said as payment he would take the big man as his, he didn't just want Dunk to be payment he wanted Dunk to become his companion and most trusted person to his heart. It was love at first fight. Dunk had struck him so hard across the face he could swear he saw the Warrior himself. It was as if Lyonel was guided by the Seven themselves to meet this wildling man. He would swear up and down there was a connection between the two, visible only in their eyes. Dunk would disagree and try to snap Lyonel's neck multiple times. Lyonel would become even more smitten by the sheer strength of this one man alone, big and strong to take on ten men by himself and only bought down by Lyonel's own might and power. He can already hear wedding bells ring for their unity.
