    Summary

    Jena Dondarrion had died birthing his second nephew a few months earlier, a red-headed boy that looked just as unsuitable for the realm as Valarr before him. It was neither of their faults — the realm judged the babes on appearance alone, but appearance meant a great deal in the seven kingdoms, especially when a bastard carried the Valyrian look more than Baelor ever would. He needed an alliance that would stabilize his claim. The small council debated at length on the problem.

    It appeared Maekar had very neatly solved it for them.

    Or, a royal wedding helps their political interests. It does very little for their personal ones.

    Summary

    Baelor had always been his favorite brother.

    He had a personal fondness for Rhaegel, and he liked Aerys enough, as his own blood, but he had always been the closest to his eldest brother. Rhaegel was a peculiar child, kind and gentle but trapped in the workings of his own mind, and Aerys had always liked his books better than human companionship. But Baelor - Baelor he had always looked up to, and been infuriated by.

    Baelor and Maekar's relationship throughout their lives in each other's orbits. Through childhood, grief, war and joy - and canon divergence.
