    I don’t want to die, Dunk thinks, dying.

    The gods don’t favor a fraud.

    Summary

    It’s a small enough thing, the Baratheon stag engraved into the lid. It had perhaps been locked once, but the salty sea air of Storm’s End softens most wood after enough years, and the latch tears clean out when he gives it a good pull. Old too, then. Inside is another bundle of parchment, neatly folded and tied with fraying twine.

    More damned papers, he thinks for a disappointed moment, nearly shutting it again- what a waste this whole venture had been. But these do not look like more records. There is something personal in how they have been handled and hidden away, and Renly begins picking at the twine with curious fingers. When it falls away, he unfolds the first sheet, and finds a letter.

    Milord Lyonel, it begins.

    [Renly Baratheon, young and full of confusing feelings, discovers that he may not be as alone as he believes.]

    Summary

    —With any other man, Lyonel would have fought to the death —Egg continued after a brief pause, as though he were still trying to explain something to the Grand Maester or perhaps to himself—. He would have turned this into a long and bloody war before agreeing to retreat, but he never would have killed Duncan… With Duncan there existed a chance to stop it before it went too far.

    Duncan felt the cold spreading slowly through his chest while he remained motionless before the door, listening to Egg speak of the duel exactly as he would have spoken of moving troops or closing trade routes before winter.

     

    Or: They say hell is paved with good intentions, but what happens to those who suffer the consequences of those "good intentions"?

    Summary

    There was only one Silver Skalitz in Bohemia, and it had already burned to the ground.

    It stood to reason that there was only one Henry of Skalitz in the world, too.

    No more painful feeling exists than realizing you're in love with a dead man. (Even if you still don't know this particular agony is called love.)

    Or: while Hans Capon languishes at Maleshov Fortress, he denies the truth--that Henry was captured, tortured, and killed by Istvan Toth--to himself for as long as he can, until it becomes inescapable.

    Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Taking French Leave quest.

    Summary

    When Henry swings off of Pebbles in the courtyard of Pirkstein, dusty with travel and tired from the road, it is not his lord, or even his lady, who greets him first.

    “Hal!” Heinrich, his little child-voice high and excitable, outruns his nurse as he dashes to Henry. “Hal, Hal, Hal!”

    -

    Alternate title: A Day In The Life of Uncle Hal

    A little snapshot into how Henry navigates his life, Hans’s marriage, and most of all, Hans’s little boy.
