davos iv asos moments ranked least to most homoerotic ok let's go
"Yes. She knows that I am no friend to her red god." "But you are a friend to me. She knows that as well." He beckoned Davos closer.
this is homoerotic bc it's stavos but if it were any other two characters it would be fairly tame so it's at the bottom sorryyyyyyy
"I am content to be your knight, Your Grace. I would not know how to begin being lordly." "Good. To be lordly is to be false. I have learned that lesson hard. Now, kneel. Your king commands."
to be YOUR knight? YOUR king? also what do you think would happen if i somehow was able to give stannis a copy of das kapital do we think he'd gain class consciousness. look probably not but it's fun to imagine.
For a moment Davos was too stunned to move. I woke this morning in his dungeon. "Your Grace, you cannot . . . I am no fit man to be a King's Hand." "There is no man fitter." Stannis sheathed Lightbringer, gave Davos his hand, and pulled him to his feet.
no man FITTER?!?!?! also hands.
"...They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that." King Stannis turned from the table. "On your knees, Onion Knight." "Your Grace?" "For your onions and fish, I made you a knight once. For this, I am of a mind to raise you to lord."
blood + sex very common pairings in westeros. given the context of a scene this is also a scene of conception as davos is being made into the hand of the king and a lord. y'all see it right. like a king knighting someone is just inherently sexual and there's really nothing we can do about it. from where i cut off the quote stannis is as likely to knight davos as to fuck him and really who is to say what happens.
Davos could hear Stannis grinding his teeth. A vein bulged, blue and swollen, in the king's brow. Their eyes met.
teeth grinding + eye contact + swollen bulging veins. need i say more
"It did, Your Grace." Does he know that he had me in his dungeon? Davos went to one knee. "Rise, Ser Davos," Stannis commanded. "I have missed you, ser."
davos kneeling + i have missed you ser very cute and sweet. also stannis being so deep in his post-blackwater depression fog that he forgot he had his queerplatonic bdsm soulmate locked in the dungeon. likely thing for stannis to do.
". . . but I trust none of them as I trust you, my lord of Rainwood. You will be my Hand. It is you I want beside me for the battle."
it's stannis and davos until the end of the world :) or until stannis burns his daughter alive
His eyes were blue pits lost in deep hollows, and the shape of a skull could be seen beneath his face. Yet when he saw Davos, a faint smile brushed his lips. "So the sea has returned me my knight of the fish and onions."
#2 just because #1 is so batshit wild but this is probably my personal favorite. it's so cute that the only time stannis ever smiles is around davos. and no one else calls davos the knight of the fish and onions. HIS knight of the fish and onions even. and they say chivalry is dead. also love any time stannis looks like complete shit yaasss one true king
"You have always presumed on my forbearance," Stannis warned Davos when they were alone. "I can shorten your tongue as easy as I did your fingers, smuggler." "I am your man, Your Grace. So it is your tongue, to do with as you please." "It is," he said, calmer.
davos offering up his tongue to stannis. stannis calming himself by thinking of chopping davos into pieces. what the fuck is wrong with them (affectionate)
