Dunkaerion Stories

After striking a Targaryen prince twice in the puppeteer tent, Ser Dunk the Tall is taken to the Ashford dungeon. Aerion confronts him there, seeking revenge for the humiliation he suffered at the hands of the hedge knight. It ends up turning into something much more for both men. -or- "What did you say to me, oaf" Aerion asked, angrily grabbing the knight by his collar. "Twice... I struck you twice, my prince" Dunk felt intoxicated with gratification as the words left his lips. He was rewarded with a swift and hard backhand to his right cheek. The sting felt almost good as his smacked skin warmed against the cold air of the cell.

Prince Aerion Targaryen was sent into exile so the world might teach him what his father could not. For a few years, the reports were promising. Then they stopped. Now Maekar Targaryen asks only one thing of Ser Duncan the Tall: Bring my son home.

One week after the Trial of Seven, Dunk rides behind the dragon he forced to kneel. Aerion Targaryen is wounded. Dangerous. And he does not forget. Some fires do not go out easily 🔥

"Resources," Aerion whispered mockingly. "The lunk thinks I need resources." "I'm just saying-" "Do you know who sits on the board of the University Hospital?" he snapped, his voice rising, sharp as a whip crack. "My uncle Aerys. Do you know who funded the psychiatric wing? My father. Do you know who my primary care physician is? The former Surgeon General of Westeros." He unbuckled his seatbelt with a violent click, turning to face Dunk, his eyes wild. "You think I haven't tried?!" (In which Dunk meets a rich boy who is struggling with an eating disorder.)
