Ive seen a couple of single dad Dunk with Egg being the kid
But what if Dunk is the birthing parent & had a one night stand with Maekar but never caught the guys name
So Egg is just his.
This could be modern AU or main akotsk AU
For modern Egg is not impressed that all these frankly undeserving dudes r all over his father. Also Aerion in the moderm version would also be at least trying (wrong) to get with Dunk & this instantly becomes war with Egg. Baelor is the first one to notice cos Egg scowls at him when his hand lingers too long on Dunk's arm & he looks for all the world like Baelor's little brother. Then Daeron ends up roped into helping Dunk redye Egg's hair (in a modern AU he shaved it off when he was 7, mix of sensory issues & blonde being boring, so they compromised on hair dye) & he notices the white blonde roots & the eyes & it clicks (he faints) (tho worth it cos it's into Dunk's arms). So one by one Dunk's paramours realise while Dunk is non the wiser. Made worse if this version of Dunk got blackout drunk enough that he doesnt even remember the man's face. All of the Targaryens are freaking out & individually either trying to hide it or trying to reveal it in the smoothest way possible.
For a non modern version of this Dunk would be CONVINCED he accidentally fucked a Blackfyre & now has a particularly politically dangerous bastard² baby. So Egg is an Egg all his life, until the rare occasions Dunk gets his hands on Tyroshi dyes (Egg desperately misses the hideous shade of green he had for 2 months) (he has a blank canvas for dye!). So Ser Arlan dies, Egg is even more of a mouthy little shit to the lords than in canon. Lyonel's assumption about Egg's parentage is actually correct. Dunk actively tries to hide his baby from the Targaryens, but he cant help but mention, when it's brought up that Maekar's eldest is missing, that Dunk understands for he wouldn't be able to imagine anything happening to his own child. This piques the princes interest. So they (quite pathetically) follow Dunk around, falling for how cute he is with his son. & after a while Maekar is like waiiit i recognise that tall knight!!! OMG THAT WAS A DECADE AGO & HIS PALE HAIRED BRAT IS 10.
