    Summary

    "So it is true, then. Not some private fever of his own imagining. Not a weakness confined to his own body. King Daeron’s fourth son is an Omega, and the first person to come to his aid is the hand of the king. His brother."

    Maekar Targaryen discovers the dangerous stirrings of a new life within him, an awakening that marks him as an Omega in a world that measures worth in alliances and power. Before the court, before anyone can see him fully, one presence consumes him, his elder brother Baelor.

    Summary

    Baelor Breakspear loves his brother. Maekar is his to hold, his to keep, his to protect from the whole of the realm and from himself, and Baelor has never once doubted the gods placed him in his hands for exactly that purpose.

    What lies between them is theirs alone, kept behind closed doors and unspoken even to their own children. But his children, and Maekar's, each catch a glimpse of it. The way the fiercest man in the realm goes quiet for one person alone.

    None of them see the whole.

    Summary

    Maekar Targaryen died old, died in battle, died as a King, and he for sure died full of regrets. Who must have lived a life with more regrets than him? He didn't know, he just knew that of all things he would forever regret the death of his beloved brother Baelor, more than 20 years past that Tourney in Ashford and he still hadn't forgot the sight of Baelor's lifeless body, if only things had been diferent, if only he could have lived in a world were he never swung that mace... Maekar should have been more careful of what he asked the Gods.

    Bloodraven used to say that the Gods don't give anything for free, a life for a life, there was always an exchange. He dind't expect, however, that the Gods would send him back in time, to his childhood, but in a world were he indeed would never swung a mace, a world were Maekar Targaryen was born as Princess Maelle instead.

    Summary

    Baelor has met a great many unpleasant things unflinchingly and yet this is one he had hoped he would not have to face until its reveal was unavoidable, and Maekar’s feelings of betrayal and anger could be solely focused on him in a way that would aid both their cause. And spare him this.

    Maekar confronts Baelor before the trial. Baelor has his reasons.
