    Summary

    After the Trial of Seven at Ashford, Ser Duncan the Tall and Prince Aerion Brightflame believe they have finally rid themselves of one another after a single night of hatred, desire, and far too many deeply buried emotions.
    They are wrong.
    Aerion is exiled to Lys as punishment, unaware that he is pregnant, and that one night ends up haunting them both for years.
    Four years later, Aerion returns to Westeros with a silver-haired child whose eyes are impossible to deny. As the prince slowly learns to leave cruelty behind, Dunk discovers he never truly forgot him. Together, they end up building something far more dangerous than a secret romance: a family.
    Between children far too clever for their own good, troublesome ponies, endless journeys, wars that never arrive at a convenient time, and a deeply concerning number of babies for two fertile people with absolutely no self-control, Dunk and Aerion attempt to survive domestic life in the middle of the Targaryen dynasty.

    Or: the story of how the most troublesome prince of his generation ended up raising children, arguing about horses, and hopelessly falling in love with an enormous hedge knight.

    Summary

    After Aerion Targaryen is defeated during the Trial of the Seven, his father devises a harsher punishment than simply sending him off to Lys. He rules that his wayward son, the only omega of House Targaryen, will be given in marriage to Ser Duncan the Tall, newly enobled and enriched by the king.

    Forced into wedlock with the man who bested him, Aerion has to battle with his own guilt and rage, as well as the budding emotions building up between him and his foe.

    Summary

    "Look," he murmured to Maegor, shifting him just enough to tilt the baby's sleepy face toward Dunk. "Daddy's watching us with his big eyes again."

    Dunk huffed a quiet laugh, his grin turning helpless.

    "See that?" he whispered to Maegor. "That's the face he makes when he loves us too much."

    "Love handles" they're called. Aerion only felt estranged. This is his reflection, he knew, yet it felt... wrong. Why does it feel wrong?

    Summary

    The day before his older brother dies, Aerion arrives at breakfast to see Daeron still passed out at the table, unmoved from the night prior. He takes his abandoned, half-finished cup of wine and pours it over Daeron’s greasy head, and he sputters awake.

    Through the wine dripping from his rancid mouth, the cretin says, “The hedge knight would have loved you if you hadn’t broken that girl’s fingers,” and it takes Aerion a moment to realize who Daeron speaks of. “He always loves you. It’s really quite spectacular you’ve managed to dissuade him.”
