    Summary

    There might come a day when Lyonel did not feel so covetous over Ser Duncan the Tall, but it was not that day. Not when seeing the sunrise paint itself across Dunk’s skin still felt like a blessing from the gods. Not when he knew miles of bare pale, freckled skin waited for him in his quarters.

    Lyonel's patience pays off when Ser Duncan the Tall makes a surprise visit to Storm's End without his squire present.

    Summary

    "Ser Duncan," Baelor says kindly. Softly. His voice is as gentle as Duncan remembers it to be. It's a warm timbre that melts like honey and Duncan is sure he can taste it. He can taste the Prince in all the ways he knows he should not. "I've missed the chance to properly greet you, though, I do recall you move quick."

    Duncan knows it is a jest. He’d taken off from Ashford the moment Baelor had risen from his deathbed. He knows it is a jest because it has taken an entire spring for their paths to cross again.

    But Baelor doesn't sound upset. He sounds as if he is smiling and Duncan wishes nothing more than to see, but he refuses. His gaze digs into the sweet cakes, never up at the Prince.

    "Tart cakes," Baelor says, misunderstanding his staring. "You've chosen to wear the eyepatch I’ve given you?"

    *

    In which Baelor survives the Trial, and Duncan is sure putting distance between them will keep the Prince out of harms way.

    Summary

    When he brought his palm to Dunk’s cheek, the warmth rose to meet him.

    Lyonel smiled.

    “I think I should like to have you, hedge knight.”

    -------

    Or, how Dunk's first night in the Baratheon pavilion should have ended.

    Summary

    Lyonel Baratheon has been called to Summerhall to meet with the royal family over matters of the land. Ser Duncan, personal knight and guard of Prince Baelor following his survival at the trial, wants nothing more than to set things right with the tempestuous man after their departure from each other at Ashford. Furthermore, Dunk would like to share both bed and life with the Stormlander as he once had, but must make clear that he must be willing to get along with the prince. The Targaryen asks his knight to trust in him as he smoothes things over with Ser Lyonel.
