    Summary

    "No one loves a dog any better if it presents itself to be kicked," Gwayne snapped. "You talk of devotion, and service, and you may think me a ponce and a preening, arrogant fool, but I too am a knight, ser, and I know what it is to serve. To be dutiful is honourable; to devote oneself to a valiant cause, that is honourable. But to prostrate yourself before an altar you yourself erected, and then to seek to die of shame upon it: that is not devotion. It is pathetic. It is self-serving.”

    On campaign, Criston Cole takes up with Gwayne Hightower. It starts out as convenience. Then it becomes something else. Then something else again.

    Summary

    Baelor smiles, full of teeth and delight, “Very well then. Since you are so confident of your abilities, there is no need for a head start, hm?”

    “Now you are just cheating.”

    “I am just giving your words back to you.”

    “Give me five seconds.”

    “Three.”

    Maekar squints, and then shrugs, “Fine. You will lose either way.”

    or: baelor finds maekar in the kingswood.

    Summary

    The little moments gathered together as if collected by delicate fingers and compiled by practiced hands. Bound in love and lust and loyalty. A vicious devotion and a blinding allegiance. Maekar saw in his brother a sovereignty, a refined dedication, a powerful shadow, and yet he could not leap the last hurdle that might cast them together. Until that moment
    ___________________

    Baelor felt as flawed as flagstone, as raw and abrasive as brick work. There were many moments he could not find pride in, ones that damned him and shamed him, but others still that welcomed him in his brother's embrace. As memories faded in favor of feelings, Baelor shed all these moments. For in him, a desperation, a truth so great it felt as terrible and brilliant as dragon fire.

    Summary

    His life was fucking woe.

    It was a three-letter word that Maekar wore like a noose, teasing him up on toe tips and strangling his existence. It found him ill and named him fetid. He would suffer the wounded shadow of Baelor's stray light if it meant he might bask in his brother's brightness.
