Human technicians start hopping ships and upkeeping the general maintenance, the stuff that most aliens put off or don't notice because they never access the crevices of their ships. As human companies become more popular and lead the tech world in everything from warp cores to game stations ("it's so compact! How are the graphics so good?" Says a 60' tall grimbleback, holding a new VR headset that has all of its components included because it's so BIG by our tech standards), soon many things have accessibility ports for humans to be able to use as well. This means that these shiprats hoping ship to ship cause such a huge improvement in everything running smoothly, and there's a huge downtick in pests on ships because those "pests" are not only big enough and aggressive enough to bite a pitbull or a person in half, they're invasive to so many planets and humans hate nothing more than dog killing planet overrunning monsters.

All the while, from the Aliens perspective, humans are an elusive race that don't fraternize much with them. You almost never see a human as most places aren't exactly safe for the little things to run around in. They do export so much stuff though, and the custodial staff at the Central Galactic Outpost insists that there's more humans around than any other race if you just know where to look.

And sure it's somewhat known that some of the little daredevils hop ships and help out in exchange for room and board, usually without permission, but that can't be that common, can it?

Maybe your ship is running better this cycle ever since you stopped at the last station, that just means that tuneup was better than you thought. And maybe for some reason that program you were working on last night is finished when you wake up, but you're so tired maybe you finished it before you passed out. Somehow that faulty light in the galley has fixed itself as well, which is odd, but maybe the Engineer finally got to it. You'd know if there was someone else on your ship.

Right?

The Targaryens are know Dragon hybrids but in recent years have lost a lot of their draconian features, of the ones with dragon features were sickly or ill formed. Until Daemon Blackfyre AND Baelor Targaryen. The Rebellion became the first war of true dragons since the Dance and fortunately Baelor came out on top.

Except, it wasn't Targaryen features that his family saw but Dornish. Scales smooth like snakes, spikes like a desert toad, colors of copper that looked dark enough to pass as black, the only true Targaryen feature being his wings, but still he looked far more draconian than Blackfyre who only had the wings.

King Daeron knew a possible war was coming so he purposely chose a wife who'd give their children back the dragon in their blood. Thus making a child that looked so Dornish, so much like a Martell snake or horned toad that it looped back around to being a dragon. A tradition that he enforced when it came to Baelor’s political marriage to Jena Dondarrion, a bat hybrid to keep the wings strong and Maekar unknowingly continued when he married his love Dyanna, who comes from a salamander hybrid family.

Baelor then furthering his father's political move by engaging his son to Kiera, a Tyroshi with Valyrian blood and comes from a family of chameleons/horned chameleon hybrids.

He cursed under his breath and took his chance, he bolted forward, toward the dragon; behind him he saw Lyonel try to snatch him back, but he missed his hand and the dragon’s tail landed in between them, making Dunk free to duck under its wing, which it was using as forelimbs to keep stabilised on the ground, and reach the other side, finally able to see its snout, and what was left of the cruel prince’s champions.

How's Daeron dealing with Dunk just straight up running away? 'Cause you mentioned him (when the kid first disappeared) assuming he went off and joined Daemon's side only to realise later on that he just fled period. Would he feel betrayed? Hurt? Could he understand Dunk and his decision to run away considering his own life hasn't been the best with his family? Is Bloodraven being ordered to search for him????

I can imagine them turning Prince Dunk (Prince Duncan?) into a kind of martyr figure. Along the lines of 'oh look at the youngest of the great bastard who went missing. Dumb evil bad Daemon who messed with his baby brother how could he. Just see how our new king is mourning his baby brother isn't he SOOOOO relatable'? Dunk in the background just scoffing, bro probably thinks that this is some kind of play they put on and not them being dead serious.

Daeron genuinely loved Dunk. He saw a lot of himself in Dunk and they bonded. Daeron protected Dunk the best he could and actually raised him with help from his other kids and his wife. That is his baby boy! He even chose a castle (with help from his boys and wife) with land that was full of greenery because Dunk mentioned once that he never had air that wasn’t from King’s Landing and wanted to grow pretty flowers just because. He had also secured a title for Dunk that was slightly higher than the rest of the bastards because it would secure Dunk’s future in being safe and Daeron knew that Dunk didn’t want power, he just wanted a home.

Daeron had only thought for a second that Dunk betrayed him but then he thought that Daemon stole Daeron’s baby! In the end though, Dunk was gone. Daeron did understand more than anyone why Dunk left but it still hurt especially since he was still so young. Brynden was ordered to keep an eye out for Dunk not to capture him but locate him no matter what Brynden and the others argued. Daeron wanted Dunk to enjoy his freedom away from the Red Keep for a few months before he dragged him home to his family where he belonged since he was a baby. Dunk was hard to locate though so it took months for even a glimpse of him and it was old news at that point.

He takes Egg and Daeron to camping and finds a kitten in Egg’s bedroll in the morning and the boy is nowhere to be found and Daeron says it was probably some magic done wrong and now Maekar will kill them, and at first Dunk doesn’t buy it but after a five-hour search he’s panicking. Daeron cradles the kitten to his chest and cries. Maekar is in on the whole thing

Part 1

Baelor and Maekar have already been together for some time before they arrive at Ashford, meet Dunk and both immediately think "Oh, no- he's hot"

Part 2

Baelor and Maekar are away from court together for the first time in far too long. They're expecting a nice break and some peace together. They're not expecting anyone else to catch either of their eyes, definitely not both of them. Dunk is a very special case no matter the universe we're talking about, though.

Part 3

Baelor and Maekar and exactly what the appeal of Dunk is for both of them.

Part 4

Maekar goes out in search of his missing children, but they aren't the only things that he finds.

Additional musings

"I could take them both."

Egg absolutely will throw hands to keep Dunk.

Never felt safe enough

2. Never been healthy enough (Well fed enough)

3. Never had anyone that his omega thought was baby daddy worthy around.

Good news is nearly all of his needs met now plus bonus baby fever from egg.

Bad news, this heat ain't stopping until he's pupped.

The Blackfyre rebellion 2: here we go again, has just concluded. Everyone is exhausted, happy to be alive and Dunks inner omega is like 'wow, we could of died, A+ genetic donors could have died. guess its time to get pupped asap'

I imagine after a war even when recovering its not the best time to go into heat but Lyonel to a big hit, Daerons looking rough, Maekar broke his leg and Baelor hit his head again!

So Maester Yormwell is there having to give the news that Dunk is in a pup or die situation and unfortunately only the alphas in this room are worthy enough according to Dunks inner omega.

Very sad. Very unfortunate.

It didn’t matter that he was slowly bonding with his nephews and their children. It didn’t matter that Shiera and Brynden were talking about taking a trip after the war and asked if he wanted to come (it was a trick question because Shiera would drag him along anyway). It didn’t matter that his eldest brother, his king, said that he trusted Dunk and though he already had a title and castle set up for him he would prefer if he could live at the Red Keep with family just a little bit longer.

Dunk has tried to run before. Before Daemon was a traitor. Before Daemon told his cursed sire about Rafe. He was always dragged back and kept under a more heavy watch for a good few moons. Dunk knew that if he wanted to escape the madness he had to leave now. So he waited and took his chance after years. He knew he was getting attached so it was better this way. He will miss them though…but he is used to missing people.

That's his brother his best friend his family, if he wants to marry a man he can bloody well do so! And being petty and stubborn, Maekar would take it so far

Context For Au: {Part 1} {Part 2} {Part 3} {Part 4} {Part 5} {Part 6} {Part 7}

TLDR: Dunk won a raffle to attend Royal Charm School, a university esc school made for the various royals of the continent of Westeros and Essos to meet, connect, and get a degree if they so choose. Dunk somehow found himself gaining a harem yet is too oblivious to realize it as his family and friends help set him up for life.

Time for Lyonel's second heart event!!!!

--- Shoulder Through ---

Despite being a school for the nobility, their rugby team is an actual team that plays against other universities and quite good too. Who knew that team full of students who basically had unlimited access to the best resources and students who didn't even have to attend class and could focus on practicing would have a good team? Not Dunk when he first started training with them but he was pleasantly surprised. Valarr especially as while he isn't the best player he is a fantastic captain, sucks that Aerion is co-captain and a great solo player and incredibly despisable. Though, playing on a team with nobility does have some draw backs as many, many, other schools and players have issues with the nobility and are happy to use sports sanctioned violence to do so...... Or violence off the field.

Which is how after a game Dunk finds himself standing between three very very angry Crownlands University players and Valarr and Aerion as the man throws every variation of Targaryen slur there is. Which is apparently a lot as Dunk is also coming to learn, and while he does have his issues with the way the Kingdom is run, he isn't going to blame the grandchildren of the man in power. He is trying to get the two to the bus as Aerion keeps antagonizing them. Eventually one of the players has had enough and throws a punch, and well, Dunk is a street orphan from Flea Bottom, he knows how to brawl. As Valarr and Aerion flee to the bus, Valarr because Dunk told him to, Aerion because he is a coward, Dunk takes the three on

Lyonel rushes over after being told that three players attacked Dunk expecting the worse, only to find one of the players down for the count and another pinned to the wall by Dunk, but Lyonel is too late to stop the third man from hitting Dunk's shoulder with a pipe to get him to drop his friend, which surprisingly doesn't work. Before more violence can take place Lyonel does manage to break it up as the coach from the other team also walks over. After a massive threat of "Hey, your players attacked the crown princes of your country, if you press charges against Dunk you may as well be committing even grander treason", the coach shakingly grabs his players as Lyonel takes Dunk, who is bloody and grimacing a bit.

Halfway through walking to the bus Dunk makes them stop before sighing and a loud pop filling the parking lot as Lyonel looks at the man in horror as he realizes Dunk just popped his own shoulder into socket. Lyonel rushes towards the bus, tells the driver to take everyone back because he and Dunk are gonna head to the hospital because the lad has a disloacted shoulder and definitely a concusion a broken nose that Dunk is already trying to set himself, which makes Lyonel slap his hands away. Valarr tries to say he'll do it because it was his fault for not keeping an eye on Aerion but Lyonel is close to hitting Aerion himself so thats a no. Lyonel drags Dunk to his car (happy he drove there himself0 and head to the urgent care despite Dunk's insistence he is fine and that it's just a dislocation, break, and concussion, which Lyonel firmly states aren't "just" anything.

They get to an urgent care and Dunk gets checked out and it is fortunate he has no bone breaks, though the doctor is impressed that Dunk set his nose and shoulder correctly but informs Dunk to please see professionals. What is concerning though is the amount of trauma Dunk's body has undertook and there being several signs of childhood mistreatment and starvation which Dunk tries to shrug off as Lyonel's stare becomes well and truly murderous. Fortunately, they aren't in the hospital for long as they are dismissed with clear instructions that Dunk needs to be watched for the next 24 hours, something Dunk already knew and believed to be excessive but once again Lyonel is insistent.

Halfway through the ride Dunk realizes they aren't heading back to the school, come to find out, Lyonel is kidnapping him and taking him to his penthouse. AFter all, Dunk needs to be watched and Lyonel knows for a fact if sent back to his own dorm Dunk wouldn't tell Raymun. Dunk tries to deny and say he's fine until Lyonel gets genuinely angry and demands that Dunk let him take care of him. He heard one of his players had a history of childhood trauma and starvation, someone he cares about, so please just let him provide, and with that beg, Dunk shakingly agrees.

They arrive at the penthouse where Dunk is sat on the couch and allows Lyonel to fret over him for the next several hours. Except for when he was grabbing the pizza delivery, Lyonel basically stay glued to his body one way or another, a hand on his shoulder or thigh, arm wrapped around his waist or neck, hell as it gets later in the night Lyonel has no shame when using Dunk's thighs as his personal pillow as they watch movies together. It isn't until they are close to passing out that Lyonel gets up and tells Dunk he needs to go take a shower so they can go to bed.

Dunk lets himself be dragged by Lyonel to the showers and after years of sharing showers with others in gyms, modeling for the art class, and simply being tired and worn out, Dunk has no shame in stripping as Lyonel gets the shower ready. Lyonel lets Dunk rinse in the shower as he sets up the bath before dragging the man over and putting the giant in the tub, which surprises Dunk that he can actually mostly fit. Practically a puddle of a man, Dunk lets himself be scrubbed and pampered by Lyonel to the point Lyonel literally has to hoist him out of the bath as Dunk is warmed, rested, and soothed. Like grabbing a food-coma'd cat that had been napping in the sun.

Lyonel does manage to get Dunk to put on boxers and sleep pants after drying him off and they both head to Lyonel's room where they knock out the moment they hit the pillow. Who knew trying to man-handle a giant would be so much work?

The next morning Lyonel wakes up to an empty bed and heads to the kitchen where Dunk is making them breakfast, both as a thank you and an apology for his behavior last night, which Lyonel waves off. They have a really nice breakfast before Lyonel gives Dunk some of his clothes to wear (though, they are TIGHT) and they head off to the school once more. They part with a hug and Lyonel giving Dunk permission to crash at his apartment anytime, no text required either.

When Lyonel gets home and heads to his bathroom to take his own relaxing bath he notices he just left Dunk's sports uniform on the floor. While the top is bloody the rest of it is perfectly fine... if not a lot sweaty and dirty.... jock strap included. (Dunk absolutely is the type to wear one).

------

To Note: Charm school is the first school Dunk has attended where the sport showers does have actual stalls and privacy.

Does he have the etiquette? No. Does he he charm everyone he meets accidentality? Of course.

I like to think this extends to all the magical animals which is how a baby unicorn decides it wants to live in Dunk and Raymun's dorm.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! Sweetfoot is gonna be a fully grown unicorn who keeps putting her head through Dunk and Raymuns window to get apples and head scritches. After a certain point the two will stop locking the window because she'll unicorn magic it anyway.

Context For Au: {Part 1} General TLDR: Dunk won a raffle to attend Royal Charm School, a university esc school made for the various royals of the continent of Westeros and Essos to meet, connect, and get a degree if they so choose. All ships (except Cuck Aerion) are open as this is basically a dating sim AU.

--- Horse Days!!!! ---

After Dunk's first day of getting a lay of the land he is immediately thrust into classes. Previously Dunk was an education major and taking a few animal science classes, the first because he wants to be a history teacher, the second to further help Arlan and his farm. Unfortunately, in a school full of royal people are are attending mostly to socialize, neither are the most popular degrees. In fact the head of the education degree is Headmaster Baelor himself and he is rather happy to have a student there for a teaching degree and not attending classes to try and get closer to him. While there aren't any animal science classes, Maekar basically tells him that if he wants to frolic with the horses like the farm boy he is, he's allowed. Said as a jest but Dunk takes him up on it.

Despite being one of the few places in all of The Crownlands that has both pegasi and unicorns, no one actually goes near the stables, hell, even the people meant to take care of the animals seem to only go there when absolutely needed to muck the stalls with all the waters and feeders being automatic. It honestly pisses him off and he has half the mind to talk to Maekar about it but if he did that he wouldn't be able to find his home away from home, and thus he allows himself to be selfish while taking care of his favorites Sweetfoot the Unicorn, Thunder the Pegasi, and Chestnut who... seems to be a normal horse. He is not quite convinced but the horse let's him tend to them with ease so he isn't worried too much. (Chestnuts pronouns are they/them cause Dunk doesn't know. Also there are a fuck ton of horses, Dunk plays favorites)

Soon enough, Raymun, Rowan, Beony, and Daisy join in after Sweetfoot escapes the stables and opens the window to his dorm to steal Raymuns apple. Dunk has to confess where he spends his free time and while the four don't necessarily care for horses the way Dunk does, a place where the majority of the royals (or higher up royals are as Raymun is a Lord's son, everyone else is common) appeals to all of them. The girls even manage to convince Dunk into letting them take videos and make posts of him for their account. The girls have an account that is just making commentary of being commoners at a royal school, the various out of touch things they say, and Beony&Daisy do skits involving wigs and bad contact filters. While Dunk doesn't join in the mockery as he is a Crownlands citizen (Rowan - Stormlands, Daisy - Reach, Beony - Dorne), he does the occasional complaint or rant about the general out of touchness while he grooms the horses(?).

Rowan initiates "Dunk ASMR" which is just everyone relaxing while studying (the girls are actually there for degrees) as Dunk grooms and sweet-talks the horses with lofi beats playing in the background. All livestreamed, recorded, and posted. There's some chatter between them, shared questions, or one of them joining in brushing or talking to a horse. None of them care much for the mess as each of them commandeered some of Dunk's farmboy clothes for their own and theres a shower in the stables. It proves to be nice for the first few weeks until one night Daeron Targaryen stumbles in drunk, looking for a calm place to hide from his family only to see a study group dressed in large flannels and stolen overalls. (Rowan is absolutely wearing hemmed overalls and a sports bra! Second study day was everyone modifying Dunk's clothes, with help from Dunk.)

Not willing to ruin the vibes, Rowan sets him down on a beanbag Raymun dragged in, gave him a bag of chips and a water bottle, a pat on the head, and went back to studying. In fact, everyone kind of ignores him except Raymun who says "If you throw up, do it outside.", they don't even stop the live-stream, which normally they would as the royals here have NDA's stronger than reinforced steel... but it's Daeron who is on the news at least once a month for drunken shennanigans, they don't feel a need and Daeron is rather confused and docile. He looks like a street cat being pet for the first time and not understanding if he likes it or not, but he eats the bag of chips and drinks the water, just confused. Eventually he even curls up on the bean bag and passes out. The live stream ends with Dunk and Raymun agreeing that Daeron should probably rest in their room that night, and the last shot is Dunk easily picking up Daeron in a princess carry.

The next morning Baelor and Maekar stress when they hear that Daeron is in the media again but are pleasantly surprised to see its not for disorderly conduct, illicit substances, or having a general mental break caused by stress, sex, drugs, alcohol, or some combination of all four. Just Daeron looking like a confused cat on the studying live stream Brynden told them that some of the raffle students do. Over coffee they watch the video of Daeron and Baelor lets out a genuine sigh of relief as Daeron does nothing incriminating and Maekar is surprised to see his son actually drink water, in fact neither are surprised at the fact "chronic insomniac Daeron" managed to pass out because Maekar was halfway there from the soft sounds of Dunk talking to Thunder as he preens the beasts wings. Though neither brother will admit any form of reaction to Dunk murmuring "Gods you're a big man, arentcha?" as he finishes up cleaning the pegasus.

Dunk and Raymun have rugby practice but when they open the door to leave Valarr is there, accompanied by his girlfriend Kiera who walk into their room to find Daeron comfortably passed out in Dunk's bed as well evidence that Dunk slept on the floor. (Raymun and Dunk tried sharing but beds too small and Raymun wouldn't let Daeron sleep on his bed cause he just washed his sheets). Valarr just sighs at his cousin while Kiera remembers manners and etiquette exist and thanks the two profusely, commenting how hard it must of been for Dunk to sleep on the floor, which Dunk unfortunately supplies that it's no big deal, he's slept on worse floors in worse places. Sometimes he just sleeps on the floor because the mattress feels too nice for him at times. Kiera the psychology major desperately wants to unpack that but Daeron wakes up before she can, mumbling about them being too loud.

Valarr already exhausted of his cousin pulls him out of bed causing his 26 year old cousin to let out a genuine whine as he shivers at the loss of warmth. Dunk is kind enough to give Daeron one of his hoodies and Valarr drags his cousin out while informing the two that players that morning practice was cancelled as Valarr has to deal with Daeron and Lyonel is temporarily back home to deal with Stormland politics. Kiera gives them both her number, telling them she likes watching the live streams and that Beony's Aerion impression is amazing, and to text her if they have the need.

30 minutes later Rowan send the group chat a screenshot of an email she received from Brynden Rivers

"The school has been made aware of your stable studying live-streams. You are free to continue doing them and using the space for that purpose and should any member of a royal family enter the space you are allowed to continue recording unless requested to stop and given good reason. We will be watching :). Kind regards - Bloodraven."

The group is taking that as a win.

------------------

Dunk with a warhammer.

We start in Flea Bottom: Dunk or Rafe for him picks up a hammer (I imagine they're more common than actual blades) and since he's starting to grow big he's also getting stronger, now, he isn't fighting people's in armour, but other orphans or the occasional adult trying to rob them or something, he can actually hurt them enough to be left alone with his hammer.

Then the whole Rafe situation happens, and Dunk starts following ser Arlan and brings his hammer with him. After Arlan decides to make him his squire he starts teaching him how to use a sword but like, the boy is already tall enough to look like an adult at 13 and is *really* good with that hammer, which is getting a bit small for him (think Aerion's mace for dimension, not exactly disproportionate, but pretty small) so he gets the idea to get him a proper warhammer.

So they spend a bit and manage to get him a good and big as fuck hammer, at first Dunk is a bit skeptical, like, he's never dealt with something so big, "it's not the same ser!"

But overtime he gets used to it, ser Arlan trains him the best he can both with the sword and with the hammer, but he doesn't know the actual techniques for the latter so they're figuring things out as they go.

And then ser Arlan dies, and Dunk is like show level good with the sword, but with the hammer? That's an extension of him, he always has it with him; and he's kept the smaller one because 1 it reminds him of Rafe, 2 he needs something for closer combat for when the warhammer gets a bit in the way in close range.

For Ashford I see 2 options:

1 he fights in the trial with the hammer;

2 he fights with the sword.

For the first everything goes as usual until the Trial where this big ass man on his big ass war horse has a big ass warhammer as a weapon and Aerion feels himself starting to sweat.

Trial goes a bit different as Aerion is mainly dodging Dunk's swings, that he can't predict 'cause Dunk wasn't formally trained.

So the trial end with no casualties 'cause Dunk manages to get Aerion and then it's only a matter of scruffing the lizard.

Meanwhile Lyonel is *this* close to snatching the hedge knight to Storm's End because what do you mean the pretty, big, and honourable knight uses a war hammer, a Baratheon typical weapon. Like that man is vibrating in his boots.

Meanwhile Baelor is actually quite impressed and would really like for the hedge Knight to be his sworn sword so he can come back to King's landing with him, and if the prince accidentally catches sight of the knight shirtless while he trains well...he was just admiring the dedication one must have to develope those muscles.

Maekar is on one hand really pissed off that this hedge knight created all these problems (he knows he's in denial) on the other like, he can see that man is capable enough to protect his son, but he still would like for him to come to Summerhall to train before taking egg to the hedges. (No brother he must come to Summerhall, King's Landing is clearly not the right place for him, don't look at me like that, I at least haven't been making heart eyes at him)

On the second version the hammer gets I don't know, dented or something before ser Arlan dies and then Dunk those not have the time nor money to get it adjusted, so he fight with the word. The Trial still goes well, and nobody dies (I say as I beat down the angst with a broom).

Dunk follows the royal retinue to King's Landing to train before taking egg, and he's like can I have a favour? Can you pretty please fix my hammer.

And at this point the royal and the kingsguard have a really cool realisation of: the guy wasn't fighting with his preferred weapon and said weapon is a fucking warhammer.

Cue realisation of how funked they'd have been if the thing hadn't been broken (they see him training with it, some breeches got tight).

Just really fucking big.

He uses the back to pierce through steel armour.

He can and will tell Maekar that he understands if he’s jealous that Baelor got to that absolute warhorse of a man first, but that’s no reason to lie, especially when his head still hurts.

Maekar is going to kill someone or something. Probably Aerion.

Dunk is awkwardly going along with it bashfully eating grapes as Baelor presses them to his lips. His big husband needs to eat and keep up his strength so he can throw him around when he’s all better :^)

This scratched something in my brain so good. Sorry for the late reply but honestly this has got me writing in my notebook about more to come!

The way that this knight, this true honorable knight, looks at him with such familiarity must mean something. The gaze is always soft and so devoted. Full of kindness and respect. It always has a sad look after Baelor speaks to this knight though, like he is missing something or said the wrong thing but never once had it looked upset at him. The maester had said that the blow from Maekar would heal and any damage done would be fine over time. He will admit that his memories from the past week are a bit hazy and sometimes they will be on the tip of his tongue before they disappear like they never existed in the first place. It was driving him crazy because there was only one constant in all of them and it was the beautiful knight that always looked devoted to him.

He truly was beautiful even with all the wounds and thin scraps of clothing that covered his body from Baelor’s gaze. He was tall and broad and so young. He had reddish gold hair that looked like it belonged to the rays of the sun and blue eyes that were as deep as Tarth’s oceans. A strong nose and jaw with faint stubble completed the portrait of the knight. He looked like a gift waiting to be opened by someone worthy of him. After the shy gaze that turned away from him for infinite time, Baelor decided enough was enough. He knew himself to be a patient man but also someone who didn’t leave potential sitting in the dirt. He knows that his man must be his betrothed who is worried he forgot about him. Nonsense, he must show that he remembers him and doesn’t plan to let go of such a treasure.

Because what Dunk says when he swears himself to Baelor is Extremely Similar to an Oath of Devotion, which is a magically binding but very simple ancient Marriage ceremony .

Any turns out that Dunk and Baelor accidentally get sort of married in a technically not married but also not not married kind of way that means their souls are permanently tied together in a very Grey area undefined relationship that they are also Very possessive about. Like, that is Baelor's hedge knight. His. The rest of his family can Fuck Off. (He is willing to share with Egg, because Dunk with small children gives Baelor a lot of Emotions.) And that is also Dunk's Prince and he will Absolutely fistfight the kingsguard about it if he needs too.

Everyone else in the training yard: Your fucking *WHAT*

Dunk, who felt Baelor by injured via their weird magical soul binding and promptly bolted for the training yard: Oh I can't EVEN- it will be fine, you said. Nothing will happen, you said!

Everyone:

Dunk, at some fancy ball/court dinner thing as a part of the royal party because he and Baelor refuse to go places separately if they don't absolutely have too, being cornered by some minor Lord: Beggin' your pardon m'lord, but my Lord husband doesn't much like for me to be alone with someone else.

( side note to this, DUNK also doesn't care to be alone with other lords. They all keep trying to convince him to join them and leave Baelor and Dunk will Not be doing that thank you kindly, he is Baelor's man)

Said minor Lord, now Very Confused: I'm sorry, your what now?

Brayden Rivers, or whatever Bloodraven's name is, barging into Baelor's office at half-passed way too late to still be working because he craves drama and also because it's highly sensitive information and he had to wait until there is no risk of anyone being about: Nephew, I have news about-

Rivers:

Baelor, theoretical working on something at his desk but mostly playing with Dunk's hair as the Hedge knight is sat on the ground with his head on Baelor's thigh napping: News about what Uncle?

Rivers, who triple checks that there was no one else in the room with magic and hadn't sensed Dunk At All(because on a magical level Dunk and Baelor are indistinguishable due to the soul bounding shenanigans): . . . .

Rivers, softlybut with feeling: what the Fuck?????

Baelor, confused: What?

Rivers: How long has the Hedge knight been in here?

Dunk: *wakes up just enough to flip Rivers off and then immediately goes back to sleep*
