    Summary

    George hesitated. -And… nothing else?- He added, a little too hopeful.
    -What else?-
    -Yeah, what else?- He was waiting to hear more.
    -What do you mean, “What else”?- What did he want Lockwood to say? That he proposed to Lucy? That his plan to make her stay was a ring on her finger? What was he expecting?
    -You know what? Nevermind- This time was George’s turn to roll his eyes.
    -Whatever, mate-
    -Yeah, sure-

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

    One day Lockwood wakes up early and find a note on the Thinking Cloth from Lucy. It says that she went groceries shopping so he waits for her to come back home.

    Summary

    The Bounty was meant to be a place of hope and healing. What Prince Aegon found there was a cornered creature of similarly voracious appetites and a familiar desperation to escape. But despite the guiding touch of a new hand, the spool of thread remained the same — brilliantly green and fraying, kissed with dragonfire.

    Summary

    Aegon's faults are his greatest armor, impenetrable. From the distance he had kept, none can touch him. None will want to, either.

    But with a heavy crown on his head, the distance grows shorter and shorter, and he realizes nothing is impenetrable, as dragons can melt just about anything off.

    Alternatively, Aegon's responsibilities force him to be closer to his family, face his siblings as they are, and relearn what hurt is. Takes place between the end of 1x10 and book events.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The hour is late. It is always late, and Aegon grew up at midnight’s mercy. His sun only rose with Sunfyre lighting up the world with his scales. The hour is late, and he will wait again. Even if he won the argument, even if he was right, the rest of them will click their tongues should he dig deeper into his mother’s fears tonight
    -
    “Don’t doom us all with your hubris, my king.”

    Otto leaves the room, Aegon throws the cup in his hand against the wall, as hard as he could. He does not break it.

    I cannot break what you’ve already broken, grandfather.
    ^^^ this is so good that I don't think I have proper words for it. The inner conflicts and outer dynamics, it feels real and lived and three dimensional.
