    Summary

    “In the name of the Warrior, I charge you to be brave…”

    Aerion snorted as his father reminded him. Right, that was the first of them, wasn’t it?

    “Do you remember a single one of the fucking oaths, boy?”

    “Why should I?”

    OR

    The one where Aerion is demoted and forced to squire for Ser Duncan until the hedge knight chooses to knight him again. But what happens when an unlovable man meets an unstoppable force?

    Summary

    Aerion recalls the words his uncle had spoken to him then — remembers, too, the way he had said them again years later, those knowing mismatched eyes fixed on him as Aerion donned his armour before stepping onto that field at Ashford.

    “Your fire, it is not yours alone. When you breathe, you make dragons of us all, nephew.”

    He thinks of them again now, where the frontier of mud and earth encroaches, ever threatening to drag him down and bind his body within its dark, fevered tomb. Though why the words rise from his memory in this moment, he cannot say.

    Aerion gets caught attempting to Mulan it up.

    Summary

    "What are you saying?" Maekar demanded. "You are telling me my son is already dead."

    "I am offering a choice, Prince Maekar," the maester stammered, pulling a scalpel out of his satchel.

    The blade caught the flickering candlelight, wickedly sharp. "A horrific choice. We can wait for him to wake. But, it is a fatal gamble. If the fire returns, he will die screaming."

    The maester slowly lowered it, pointing towards the lower half of Aerion's spine.

    "Or… I take my blade, and I intentionally sever the spinal cord. I cut the nerves dead."


    Aerion receives the blow of the mace, and Maekar has to choose between killing the body or killing the spirit. Whatever the outcome is, Dunk is charged to mend the broken dragon. Inspired by Me Before You.

    Summary

    In another version of this story, in some far and distant world, it is Baelor “Breakspear”, Heir to the Iron Throne, who takes his brother Maekar’s mace to the back of the head during the Trial of Seven. It is on a grimy, hay-covered stone and dirt floor that he falls into the arms of the newly named Ser Duncan the Tall and takes his last breath. In that distant world, the Targaryen family falls to ruin in the aftermath of his passing, and not even the fabled Prince that Was Promised can reclaim the might of their family name.

    But that world is not this one.

    For instead of the Prince of Dragonstone receiving a sundering blow to the helm, it is Aerion “Brightflame” who suffers the wound instead.

    Summary

    Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died.
    Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore.

    This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.
