    Summary

    “Braids?”

    Davos’ lip curled merrily as he hooked a tendril of Aeron’s hair from his crown. He wound it lazily around one finger, and Aeron tried to ignore how the others brushed infinitesimally quickly against his cheekbone. He was almost nose to nose with the Blackwood boy, and although the rational part of his mind was screaming that he should be putting his dagger to use, his muscles seemed to have lost their connection to his brain. Just as he was beginning to process what was happening, Davos let go (although not before giving the strand a small, but painful, tug) and patted Aeron, almost companionably, on the cheek.

     

    Slow-ish burn (I don’t know where I’m going to take this, but those three minutes of screen time are to blame)

    Summary

    Ever since they opened their doors, way back in the 40’s, the rivalry between Raventree High and Stone Hedge High had become a thing of legend. The schools both reside in Riverland county, but the proximity only fanned the flames of enmity between them. Pranks, trash talk, sabotage, fighting—nothing was off limits short of cold blooded murder. Even then, there was some speculation about an incident back in ‘89.

    Now, 80 years after their founding, no one remembers what even started all the bad blood between them. The general consensus, though, is that it had to have begun with the Blackwoods and Brackens.

    Summary

    Brackens and Blackwoods have been on hostile terms for many generations.

    Between what sparked their hatred and the present, enough blood has been shed to fill the Trident running between them, and too many wrongs have been committed to be recorded in the Maesters' books.

    Of course, each subsequent Lord of Riverrun made more or less successful attempts to unite the feuding houses. And what is the easiest and fastest path to reconciliation? Through marriage, of course.

    Summary

    '“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t end your pathetic existence.” Davos spat. Venomous, a snake ready to strike.

    Well, Aeron had his own tricks up his sleeve, and he was all too willing to take the chance.

    His tongue, pink and wet, darted out to slide salaciously, slowly across Davos’ bottom lip. The tiniest of gasps fell from his enemy, his eyes bulging, glittering with unhinged fascination as Aeron wetly swept over him a second time, tracing the inner curve of his open mouth, tasting the surprise on the tip of Davos’ tongue.

    Davos' grip tightened, a fierce mingling of their breathlessness before he was crushing his mouth to Aeron's. Their tongues twisted together, suckling and biting each other's lips with hate-fueled ferociousness. Long fingers unwound from Aeron's throat, crawling with a vehemence to the back of the neck where he white-knuckled the boy's soft hair.'

    OR

    A chance encounter outside an inn sparks a sensual turn of events.

    Summary

    There were few places in this realm that Aeron Bracken grew nervous to step foot.

    A backroom in a Riverlands brothel with Davos Blackwood was definitely one of them.
