    Summary

    “The Prince needs a sworn sword?” Dunk blinked at the two brothers, certain he must have misheard.

    “A sworn shield,” Baelor corrected. The distinction seemed to matter.

    “The title will be spoken publicly as a reward. A reconciliation. The prince you fought against now honours your valour and accepts that the Gods judged you to be innocent. A tale of chivalry restored, of a dragon gracious in defeat. Songs will smooth the rest.”

    “And in truth?” Dunk asked before he could stop himself.

    Maekar did not look away. “In truth, you will ensure my son does not forget what that day has cost.”

    “You would have me... watch him.”

    “I would have you guard him,” Baelor replied at once. “My nephew needs protection; from blades, from poison—"

    “—and from himself.” Prince Maekar’s voice followed harder.

    Baelor survives his injuries at Ashford and takes charge of the fallout. Determined to cure Aerion’s deepening psychosis, he brings his nephew to King’s Landing to guide him and help him master his darker impulses. Until then, the unstable prince will need guarding, from others as well as himself. Baelor chooses an unlikely protector: The Hedge Knight.

    Summary

    Baelor knew it from the very first moment he saw Maekar: he was his.

    But Baelor was the perfect heir, the son his father expected him to be. Duty always came before everything else… even before the dangerous devotion that had been quietly growing in his chest.

    Until one mistake of his led Maekar to make painful decisions.

    And the brother Baelor loved more than anything in the world left.

    Baelor was certain that his beloved omega was trying to take revenge on him somehow… and he was succeeding.

    But Baelor would not make the same mistake twice.

    No matter the cost, he would have him back.

    Summary

    "No, my prince. You are fussing over me," His Valarr goes beautifully red in the face, "Like a father."

    The words make him feel heady and he wonders if the pretty Omega boy knew just who he was talking to—Baelor Targaryen belonged to the House of the Dragon, blood married blood and such unions brought forth relations that made the rest of the realm sour. Something in him purrs in delight at making the usually stone-faced Omega flush and he whispers lowly, "If you were my son, I would not let you take a single step out of the Red Keep without my sigil collar on your neck."

    Valarr Targaryen dies and then wakes up years in the past where the stirrings of the first Blackfyre rebellion have begun.

    [With Fanart inside!]

    But dragons have secrets of their own. And some secrets, once uncovered, change everything.

    Summary

    At age seven Baelor watched helplessly as his oldest brother was stolen from him.
    At age seventeen Baelor won a crown for his father with Maekar at his side.
    At age thirty two Baelor is a king in need of a consort.

    Or: Daeron II's children are born in the opposite order. Aegon IV lives an extra ten years and made that Maekar's problem, specifically, by mating his teenaged grandson against his will. After the Great Spring Sickness Baelor must remarry and father more children. His brother is the only person he can imagine doing that with.
