    Summary

    Aegon had loved the idea of having a soulmate, until reality came crashing down on his head. His sister wouldn't wait for her ascension to the throne to kill him, not once she knew, and Aegon wasn't so sure he wouldn't welcome the execution rather than deal with his own mother.

    Jacaerys. Of course it was Jacaerys. The gods must truly want him to suffer.

    Tags updated as I go, per usual. Pause Points now labeled in the end notes for those binge reading. :)

    Summary

    All Aegon has ever known is his mother's fear and rage, his father's cold indifference, and his grandfather's blind ambition. Unable to handle eternally falling short of their exceptions, or to face the threat of war on the horizon, he buries himself in his vices in order to cope, and waits for the world to be set aflame by the King's passing.

    Until Helaena gives him some advice that changes the course of his life, and the future: try and revive his old bond with his nephew, Jacaerys. If Aegon can convince him that he is no threat, then maybe Rhaenyra and the rest of the realm will believe it too.

    And if that means sneaking out to Dragonstone on Sunfyre? Learning more of his eldest sister and her family then he has ever before known? Realizing how kind and brave, smart and maybe even beautiful Jace is? And if those things together, shift the course of the Dance of Dragons, and House Targaryen forever?

    Well, who could have foreseen that?

    Or:

    Aegon accidentally joins the Blacks, falls in love, and fights a war, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    The deep places of the earth. Vaulted cathedrals filled with Mahal's voice. And the perfect cradle from which to reform two souls; forged anew in synchronous heat and passion...

    Only, things aren't going exactly how Thorin Oakenshield, Reformed King Under The Mountain, dreamed. Bilbo is confoundingly...confused. The bond that is tearing apart his very being is in danger of being snuffed out before it's even had much of a chance to begin, and there is far too much political chicanery than is good for his fraying nerves and temper.

    And orcs. Definitely too many orcs.

    If he is very lucky, he may just manage to woo Bilbo, and possibly save his sanity in the process...

     

    A prompt fill for a Dwarven Courtship story; with lots of feels, a touch of fluff and a mine-cart full of Dwarven culture thrown in for good measure.

    And Nori. Because he'd find a way to steal centre stage, regardless.
