Summary
A great growl reverberates from the hollow. The men Baelor brought with him take a step back. Murmuring breaks out that he silences with a fist in the air. Something beyond pride roots him in place. The animal part of his brain understands that the thing down there is a predator larger than himself. It takes a moment to remember how the sounds are supposed to feel in his mouth, it takes a couple of tries before he dares to sound out the vowels, but the “Ser Duncan?” does in the end ring out clearly in the clearing. The rustling sound from the creature in the hollow stops. Slowly, it reveals itself.
He should be surprised, but he’s not. This feels like it was always meant to be, and he had just unknowingly been waiting around for the time to come.
Head low and shoulders hunched. Great wings are held tightly to its body as it slowly crawls out. It’s drenched so extensively in mud that the color of its hide is unextinguishable, but its eyes are a clear blue. A dragon is standing before him.AKA:
Dunk works some blood magic by accident that saves Bealor's life, and intricately ties himself to the Targaryen family. He’s turning into what he assumes the family would want the most. A dragon.Bookmarked by Busckers

Summary
Cursed in childhood by a blood witch to live as a dragon and granted human form only once each month, Duncan has long hidden in the deepest shadows of the Unnamed Island. For years, the wilderness kept his secret… until a royal hunting competition drives riders and hounds into his territory.
There, he is discovered by Prince Aerion. And Aerion, who has always hungered for legends thought lost to time, decides he cannot—will not—let the last dragon slip through his grasp.

Summary
“Has Aerion repeated his… advances?” Baelor asks carefully.
“Well, he—The prince is…”
“Like a whore desperate for some coin.”
“Stubborn.” Ser Duncan finishes, wide-eyed.
“That too, I suppose,” Baelor says wryly. “I don’t need to tell you to pay him no mind, do I?”
“No,” The knight denies vehemently. “I won’t disappoint you like that, Your Grace.”
A pause, after which Baelor hears himself ask as though he’s outside of his body, listening in. He regrets the words as soon as they come out of his mouth. “And if you hadn’t pledged yourself to me?”
Ser Duncan looks caught, his blush darkening high up in his cheeks. “I have no business doing that with a prince.”
“And if he wasn’t one?” He presses.
“I don’t know. Aerion is hateful, but—pretty.”
“Yes, I suppose so.” Baelor sighs. Aerion is pretty. It’s everything he hides behind that which makes him ugly.
“You are very handsome as well, Your Grace.” Ser Duncan is quick to reassure him, nodding seriously.
Inevitably charmed, Bealor has to hide his smile behind his hand.
Or, Dunk gets two Targaryen squires and finds himself in the middle of a bizarre love triangle.

Summary
Aerion decides that having a new, very big, very strong personal guard suits him better than going through the ordeal of a trial. Baelor and Maekar decide that having someone to control Aerion isn't such a bad idea. And Dunk, stuck in the middle, learns that there is more to guarding a temperamental prince than just following him around.

Summary
“I see you there, you know,” the alpha calls out to Aerion. “Are you the stable boy?”
Aerion’s eye twitches at the mere thought of him being a stable boy. This man, honestly, what a brute to assume such a thing.
He wants nothing more than to bite the alpha’s head off, but instead, he just settles for biting his lip to keep his anger at bay. He cannot draw attention to himself.
“No,” Aerion snaps at the brute, readjusting the hood of his cloak to make sure it stays on and conceals his hair. “Leave.”
He cannot let anyone see it, lest he wants to be returned to his father.
“Nothing to be ashamed of if you are,” the alpha tries to placate him. “It’s a decent job to have.”
Then, to Aerion’s horror and annoyance, the alpha tosses him a coin, one that proceeds to land by Aerion’s feet.
aerion runs away to escape an arranged marriage and ends up meeting a brute of an alpha at a stable, out of all places.

Summary
"Apologies, Lord Lannister," Ser Duncan says, his voice steady, tone stern. Aerion has to, embarrassingly enough, go on his tiptoes to catch a look at his profile, and his face seems confident, not at all intimidated by the annoyed gaze Lannister throws him. "Prince Maekar was very clear that no one was to touch Prince Aerion without his explicit consent."
Lord Lannister makes a complicated face, as if he can't quite understand the words out of Ser Duncan's mouth. "Pardon me? No, Prince Maekar wants his son wed within the year. All of the Seven Kingdoms has heard it by now. If he expects no one to touch him, he might as well lock him in his chambers and lose the key!"
Aerion steps forward as white-hot anger flashes in his veins; he moves, intending to beat this puny little lord's insolence to a bloody pulp, but Ser Duncan throws an arm out and forcibly shoves Aerion back behind him, a warning growl on his lips.
Lord Lannister freezes. Aerion freezes. Ser Duncan stays relaxed.

Summary
She saw the dance of the dragons in her dreams, fourteen fires reflected upon the violet eyes of The Dreamer as a caveat, the death of all she loved in the name of a throne that would never cut quite as deep as betrayal did - and she was set aflame until her eyes boiled and the salt water was nothing but the steam that trailed above her mouth on a winter's morning.
Never had she dreamt the future with such vast detail, never had she seen the annihilation of her kin so vividly. She could still feel her head and chest separated by the dragon’s jaw. For the first time in her life, Rhaenyra knew that she would have to act upon it or watch as everything she knew was burnt into ash.
Her line would not end by the will of a dagger staining a destroyed throne room, the rumbles of winged grief and the desolate wail of the last of the true Targaryen.
She would not stand idly and let the house of the dragon fall.
They would not die twice.
_
Or, Rhaenyra is cursed with prophetic dreams where she sees the Dance of the Dragons and sets the path of her life to its prevention.

Summary
“The king must put the realm first,” Jaehaerys told Viserys shortly before his death. “The realm must always come before our own desires and dreams.”
It wasn’t until he saw the bleak future in his dream and faced the impossible choice that Viserys truly understood the old king’s words. With a heavy heart, he chose the stability of the realm over his beloved daughter.
And so, Aegon becomes the heir, while Rhaenyra is pushed down the line of succession and sent away to the grim fortress of their ancestors. The king promises her gold and freedom to live her life however she wants, but Rhaenyra knows those are only pretty words to soften the blow of her father’s rejection.
Until Daemon comes to Dragonstone…
