    Summary

    The trial was a disaster beyond his darkest dreams.

    Daeron had been as sober as he’d been in years, head aching and stomach roiling as flames danced before his closed eyes. The sensation of imminent doom had threatened to drop him where he sat, to make him heave and weep in a way that only a pitcher of wine would dull down, but he’d pulled on his helm all the same, had spurred his horse into action to face down Mad Robyn Rhysling, and the nightmare had begun.

    Or: Daeron in the aftermath.

    Summary

    "I’ve written to Grandfather, about what happened," Valarr spoke up.

    Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Daeron grimace. "That can’t have been easy. But better he learns it from you than from the whispers already travelling the realm, I think."

    Valarr mourns, Daeron lends an ear.

    Summary

    The idea of Daeron, waking from his nightmares, and unsuccessfully searching for him and Maekar made him feel ill. Baelor knew that it had been unavoidable, but for a moment he thought: Fuck the rebellion. Fuck the crown. We should have stayed with our sons.

    ***

    Daeron had forseen Baelor's death for the first time as a mere babe. He never stopped.

    ***

    (A fix-it AU exploring how Maekar and Baelor dealt with Daeron’s dreams.)

    Summary

    Maekar’s world had come to a stop when the Kingsguard informed him of Baelor’s condition. Dread settled at the pit of his stomach, ice in his veins. It had been but moments since Aerion had been in his arms, barely conscious, but alive. Maekar had no time to feel any sense of relief as the panic returned in full force, and with it the thought of losing the person he loved most.

    Or: Baelor survives the blow to his head. Maekar does not forgive himself.

    Summary

    Daeron Targaryen struggles with guilt over his own lie: the accusation he has made against a hedge knight to save his own skin from his father’s wrath.

    When Egg, the only person who still sees the good in him, urges him to act to prevent the Trial of Seven, Daeron agrees. The two brothers decide to seek justice with their uncle Baelor.

    However, he does not expect that this will also lead to a confrontation with their father.

    What comes to light during the night-time conversation in the Hand of the King’s chamber shatters every carefully maintained illusion the Targaryen family has held about itself.
