    Summary

    In the aftermath of Ashford, everyone lives, with varying degree of injury. In the year since, Maekar has not spoken to Baelor, has not forgiven him for choosing a stranger over blood. He has emptied Summerhall of everyone he loves and called it penance. When the king forces a marriage to seal the crack, Maekar brings nothing with him but his silence. Baelor tries anyway.

    Summary

    He's never been much of a knight, much of anything at all other than a drunk embarrassment to the Targaryen name, but still he reaches for his own sword, pulling it from it's sheath.

    Daenys the Dreamer had a father who believed in her. Maybe here, maybe now in Ashford's muddy tournament grounds, surrounded by blood and fog, Daeron could guide his father into finally believing him.

    Held tightly in his clammy, trembling palms, only inches away from his father, Daeron lifts his sword.

     

    or; Daeron is granted the mercy of a clearer dream. It doesn't make things easier at Ashford, nor what comes after.

    Summary

    First he allows another man to guide his son.
    Later he gives him the honor.

    Aegon would always do as he pleased.

    A prince, a hedge knight, and the man they raised in between.

    The first time he willingly steps aside.
    The last time he proudly does so.

    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.
