    Summary

    In the year 87 AC, Princess Viserra Targaryen, daughter of King Jaehaerys I, snuck out of the Red Keep for one last night of laughter before her wedding only for the night to end with her tragic and untimely death. Now, over a century later, in the year 209 AC, you follow in your namesake's footsteps.

    After your father, Prince Baelor, betroths you to your cousin, Aerion, you sneak off to the tourney at Ashford Meadow for one last night of freedom before you are forced into a marriage you did not want. However, a night of passion in Ser Lyonel Baratheon's tent quickly threatens to unravel your carefully planned engagement, and you are forced to choose between duty or love, or risk losing it all.

    Or...

    A Different Take on the Princess and Knight Trope.

    Summary

    Dunk had once gotten a fortune from a dreamspeaker in Flea Bottom: You're going to get punched in the face a lot. A more accurate warning would have been: You're going to punch and be punched in the face lots of times by the love of your life. And you'll both probably deserve it.

    Five times when Dunk and Lyonel met, fought, and kissed before Ashford + once when only one of those things happened.

    Summary

    He did not know how best to put it into words. I dreamed of you, he could say, because there had not been a night in months where he had not been hunted in his sleep by a brindled hart with wolf’s teeth. I thought you were taken mad, he could say, but Lyonel’s eyes were black and gold and the light of frenzy was in his face, and he could very well be mad. He certainly did not look like a man in his right mind, but the madness threw his features into contrast and made him more handsome somehow. It seemed unwise to let you be alone, he could say, because there was a blooming seed of fear in his gut that poor half-mad, half-beast Lyonel on his own in the rainwood would fall victim to bear or wolf or some lost hunter—

    Foolish, Dunk knew, since the hart had survived his heats near as long as Dunk had been alive. Even a direwolf might pause at the sight of Lyonel and his splendid rack of antlers, forked like lightning with tines like arrowheads. He was a creature of sleek hard strength and blooded instinct. When his gaze met Dunk’s, it was Dunk who flinched away. What fool would think of hunting him?

    Summary

    They should never have understood each other.
    Even less should they have sought one another.
    And yet...

    Aera Targaryen was born in the shadow of a throne and beneath the weight of a name that burns the tongues that speak it as much as it inspires fear. Invisible in the eyes of the realm, yet keenly aware of its cruelties, she learns early that greatness must be carried upright, even when the world despises you.

    Lyonel Baratheon, on the other hand, lives for noise, wine, and freedom. He laughs too loudly, speaks too quickly, and refuses to bend the knee any lower than necessary. He does not like dragons, least of all those who believe themselves above men.

    In the tents of tournaments, between murmured provocations and defiant glances, their paths cross, clash... and then linger.

    But between the pride of the storm stags and the fire of dragons, there is never neutral ground.
    Only sparks.

    And some fires are born only to consume...
    or to illuminate what one dared not see.

    Summary

    For Berenece Hightower, dressing as a boy is easy. Fleeing a hated marriage in the guise of a squire is doable. But not meeting the one man at the tournament who sees right through her? Impossible.

    Lyonel Baratheon does not trust in coincidences. And this squire shoots too well and lies too poorly.

    Something about him stirs at his memory. Like an old splinter. Like a promise made long ago.

    He does not yet know that the gods hear promises. And now they mean to collect.
