Summary
Ser Duncan has never been good at staying out of trouble, not with Arlan, nor in what came after the man's death. His stop at Ashford was only meant to be a brief visit, to see some old faces and continue on his way.
But Ashford is rife with knights, princes, and tempers ill-suited to peace, and Dunk soon finds himself caught between them - old ties strained by grief they cannot bear to set aside, and new faces whose curiosity threatens to upset what little balance remains.Otherwise known as the Baratheon Squire! Dunk AU

Summary
The soul in their arms did not so much speak as it did sing. Its voice rang clearer than ever before, rising like the wind rustling through leaves of the forest, like a gentle breeze across wide fields of sweet grass. It made its wish known plainly, its innermost thoughts laid bare.
The gods smiled.
‘We are agreed.’
The Stranger departed, its services no longer needed for the time being.
And soon after in the arena, a quiet miracle occurred. Magic shifted and — where moments before the man had lain prone and breathless — Ser Duncan the Tall gasped awake to the sound of Prince Aegon’s desperate pleas and to the sight of a trial yet unfinished, his eyes alight with new life and glowing a color as blue and pure as the sky.
***
What if Dunk had died during his trial of Seven?
What if he had lived?
In which, having the gods' favor may have changed the course of history for the lands of ice and fire. But nothing in life ever comes cleanly.

Modern AU live-in-nanny Dunk
Face? Clear. Plants? Watered. Dilfs? Bountiful.
Also very pretty writing :)

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
Flint’s Finger had shaped itself around the Ironborn the same way Flea Bottom had shaped itself around the gold cloaks—watchful, nothing left out that could be taken, quick to scatter when it couldn’t fight.
But Flint's Finger had shaped itself around it in other ways, too. Ways Flea Bottom had not.

Bookmarker's Notes
I read this for the first time few hours ago and had to come back and reread it because the premise is so fucking good and I cannot stop thinking about it. I'm a huge fan of basically any akotsk AU but especially anything where Dunk grows up differently than canon (sorry Ser Arlan).

Summary
Fitzwilliam Darcy was four and twenty when he married Anne de Bourgh. In doing so, he fulfilled his duty to his family. Life with Anne was comfortable, if not joyous. However, a year into their marriage she died fulfilling what she saw as her duty - bearing him a child.
Fitzwilliam Darcy was eight and twenty when he accompanied his oldest friend to Hertfordshire with his sister and daughter. It was widely known that he had no intention of marrying again. His duty was, after all, already fulfilled. But that firmly held conviction will not hold long against the charms of one Elizabeth Bennet.
