Summary
When he was a boy, he at least had the admiration of his littlest brother and nephews, mere pups then. Jacaerys, Lucerys, and Daeron would follow him around like his little shadows. Jace had always been his favorite, at least until Aemond lost his eye. When he was a boy of four to a boy of ten, he had wished to be born a girl so that Jace would be given to him. Then there would be no reason to hate him. He would be no threat to Rhaenyra’s rule, and he would get to be a part of the Targaryen branch that actually wanted their children.

Summary
Aegon allows himself to drink his wine in bed and daydream about flying to Essos on Sunfyre. Vermax only a heartbeat behind him. He imagines a life on sandy beaches and green mountains. A life of movement. Without rules or walls to cage them. And if he is honest with himself, he imagines Jace’s laughter filling these spaces.

Summary
He can feel Sunfyre’s plan. Can understand his dragon as deeply as himself. The golden dragon is looking for land, somewhere to stop and fight, so Aegon can run. Sunfyre does not need to survive the fray for Aegon to get away. All he has to do is stay alive long enough to disable Caraxes or to get to Daemon.

Despite the affection Jacaerys is displaying, Daemon knows it is not real. Not real love or devotion. A trick.

Summary
“Jace?”
“It’s me, hey, Eggy it’s me.” Aegon can feel his gentle hands sliding over his cheeks. Like he is important, like he matters.
Aegon claws his way into Jacaerys’ lap. Crying into his shoulder. He breathes in large gasps trying to surround himself with the other’s scent. It calms him, but he can still smell Daemon close by. Surely their uncle is not foolish enough to attack him in front of Rhaenyra’s son. He wants Jace to leave with him.
