my favourite heads of the dragon from dunk & egg —

baelor breakspear - honestly one of the most level-headed targs, though i suspect that’s just because he takes wholly after myriah. the moment with the war vs. tourney lances was epic for a jousting nerd like me, and his death is iconic, if disgusting and maybe not even medically possible.

prince valarr - idk, i just think he’s neat. he gets barely any page time, but what he does have is interesting, and i loved what he said to duncan after baelor’s death, because it shows how things that are good for protagonists aren’t, and shouldn’t be, always good for everyone else.

john the fiddler/daemon ii blackfyre - i have a precedent for liking dragon dreamers, so it’s unsurprising that daemon is my boy. he just wanted to be gay, fiddle (with duncan) and serve cunt, but somehow got caught up in his own rebellion. i really hope the rest of his life was spent as shiera seastar’s gay little purse-dog.

I find it kinda odd that it's taken as a given by some that Bittersteel refused to help the Second Blackfyre Rebellion (if you can even call it that) because of his blinding hatred of Daemon's sexuality. I mean it's certainly possible, but there's also the very real fact that hinging an entire rebellion on vibes you had about a dragon egg hatching in the middle of nowhere is like, an objectively terrible plan that's bound to fail.

Ser Glendon and Ser Kyle on the Identity of Dunk and Egg

Spoilers for Duncan & Egg: The Mystery Knight...

So having recently gotten done reading through Dunk & Egg (a very wonderful if sadly short spin-off to the ASOIAF Novels) I had a quick thought regarding the ending...

So.

Glendon Balls/Flowers and Kyle the Cat have got to realise there's more to Ser Duncan the Tall (and by extension, Egg) than it seems, right? Sorry if I'm getting any details mixed up, I'm kinda tired today and also only recently finished reading through it all...

So Dunk shows up during the meals and start up outs John the Fiddler as Daemon the Second, aka a Blackfyre pretender and all that, and then proceeds to defend Glendon; not only proclaiming his innocence and accusing others of preforming a frame-up, but also accuses the tourney as a whole of being rigged in Daemon's favour.

So Daemon agrees to do some trial by combat, and Glendon wins, and then Bloodraven shows up to crash the party and arrest everyone. This is probably where they should really start getting curious about Dunk's connection.

It was only a few heartbeats later, as Dunk and Ser Kyle were helping Glendon Ball off his horse, that the first trumpet blew, and the sentries on the walls raised the alarm. An army had appeared outside the castle, rising from the morning mists. “Egg wasn’t lying after all,” Dunk told Ser Kyle, astonished.

Here we see Dunk inferring to Kyle that Egg was aware of the coming army and had informed him of it as well.

It was late that afternoon before Ser Roland Crakehall of the Kingsguard found Dunk among the other prisoners. “Ser Duncan. Where in seven hells have you been hiding? Lord Rivers has been asking for you for hours. Come with me, if you please.”

As Dunk, Glendon and Kyle all await trial, suddenly a knight of the Kingsguard shows up and greets Ser Duncan by name and then proceeds to reveal Bloodraven has been looking for Duncan specifically.

“Aye, m’lord. Ser Kyle the Cat, and Maynard Plumm. And Ser Glendon Ball. It was him unhorsed the Fidd … the pretender.”

“Yes, I’ve heard that tale from half a hundred lips already. The Bastard of the Pussywillows. Born of a whore and a traitor.”

“Born of heroes,” Egg insisted. “If he’s amongst the captives, I want him found and released. And rewarded.”

And then of course we have the meeting with Dunk and Egg with Bloodraven in which Egg names Kyle and Glendon (and also Maynard Plumm, who from what I understand was likely Bloodraven himself) and specifically asks for the latter to be freed and rewarded. I'd assume Kyle also would at least get the courtesy of a shift release due to being named here by Dunk.

So from the perspective of Glendon and Kyle; Dunk knew of the Blackfyre presence, was informed a Targaryen army was coming, is acquainted with a member of the Kingsguard, and was specifically sought out by Bloodraven himself. And then presumably shortly after Dunk was taken to speak with Bloodraven, both Kyle and Glendon were presumably freed, with the latter getting rewarded for knocking the latest Blackfyre pretender in the mud.

From an outside perspective, this all has to be quite suspicious right? They'd likely be wondering if Dunk was a Bloodraven spy all along or at the very least side-eye just what kinds of connections he has (or rather, Egg has). If they manage to hear about the Ashford Tourney and Dunk's role in it, then that only would add to the confusion.

Just thought all this could be a source of conflict or at least confusion. I do think its likely they'll have questions at least.

“Some never will,” Dunk told him. “It doesn’t matter what you do. Others, though … they’re not all the same. I’ve met some good ones.” He thought a moment. “When the tourney’s done, Egg and I mean to go north. Take service at Winterfell and fight for the Starks against the ironmen. You could come with us.”

---

You have as much chance of wearing a white cloak as I do, Dunk almost said. You were born of a camp follower, and I crawled out of the gutters of Flea Bottom. Kings do not heap honor on the likes of you and me. The lad would not have taken kindly to that truth, however. Instead he said, “Strength to your arm, then.”

Dunk does offer to Glendon to come with him and Egg to the North, and given how disillusioned he became with the Blackfyres as a result of the events of the Tourney, as well as gratitude to Dunk for saving him from torture, he may be more inclined to join them. Plus there's also foreshadowing of Glendon one day joining the Kingsguard of Aegon V, so him joining Dunk and Egg on their travels at least for a bit more would make sense in increasing the bond.

“I know that feeling well.” Ser Kyle sighed. “Lord Caswell did not know me. When I told him how I carved his first sword, he stared at me as if I’d lost my wits. He said there was no place at Bitterbridge for knights as feeble as I had shown myself to be.” The Cat gave a bitter laugh. “He took my arms and armor, though. My mount as well. What will I do?”

Kyle was also in a rather bad situation due to the tourney, and so might also be inclined to join the group heading North in hopes of finding more long-term service with the Starks.

So if both Glendon and Kyle are going to be travelling with Dunk and Egg, then that increases the liklihood of them noticing the pair (mostly Egg really but still) are more than they seem, and more time for them to ask questions the two will need to find someway to answer.

what classic romances do you think measure up to harriet and peter in gaudy night? i’m really craving more satisfying classic romance

Well, kind inquirer, I have a confession. I had read the Wimsey novels multiple times by the age of 16. Over the past 2+ decades, Peter and Harriet have taught me a lot of things, even if I have learned them more slowly and painfully than I would like (Lord, teach us to take our hearts and look them in the face...); even if I feel as though I have not salvaged as much as I could from life's various shipwrecks. The point is: no one measures up, not for me. My dear, if you have let me come as far as your work and your life... That said, I can offer some suggestions, presuming that you mean by "classic romance" romance that happens outside the genre parameters of romance novels. I'll start with the most classic and work my way forwards. [Under the cut for length!]

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë (for obvious reasons, I imagine. Perhaps the thing I love most in romance is two intense weirdos deciding to love each other intensely and weirdly.)

Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare (I know I said I'd work my way forward, but then I said 'intense weirdos' and remembered my beloved Benedick and Beatrice. Beatrice, an unmarried woman in her uncle's household, interrupts men's political conversation to demand to know whether he's alive because she can't stand not knowing for a minute longer... and that's her opening line! and then they roast each other for 2 hours! I love them so much!)

Persuasion, Jane Austen (Anne is, I would argue, quietly intense, while Frederick is obviously so; he's also weird enough for both of them (affectionate.) I adore them, I support them, I wish them many decades of shocking society with how they look at each other across rooms. And dinner tables. And pianos. And dancing squares.)

Artists in Crime/Death in a White Tie, Ngaio Marsh (this is the Alleyn/Troy duology the way that Strong Poison/Have His Carcase/Gaudy Night is the Peter/Harriet trilogy. I adore Troy, an anxious and compassionate artist with gnc tendencies, and Alleyn fascinates me. Intense weirdos again. Alleyn successfully pretends to be normal most of the time, with everyone except about 3 people. Occasionally he decides to stop, or just does because he's very tired and fed up, and then everyone in the room gets very freaked out very quickly. I love him.)

The Case of William Smith, Patricia Wentworth (bonus detective round! Wentworth is not in the Sayers-Marsh class, and this novel has some tropes I don't like, but I love the gentleness of the central romance so much that I still reread it.)

Possession, A.S. Byatt (Victorian poets, the scholars who study them, the life of the mind and the life of the heart. This is absolutely a novel with Gaudy Night in its lineage.)

The French Lieutenant's Woman, John Fowles (I hesitated before adding this to the list, but it's a novel of ideas that is also about love and sex and identity and Englishness with a very vivid setting, so it might fit the bill?)

The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje ('I believe this. When we meet those we fall in love with, there is an aspect of our spirit that is historian, a bit of a pedant, who imagines or remembers a meeting when the other had passed by innocently...')

Charlotte Gray, Sebastian Faulks (Birdsong is the greater novel, but this one might be the one I prefer. I love Charlotte and her quest to find herself that is also a journey toward love! and vocation! and the images for the lovers in this book are indelible)

Bonus round of books I looked at on my shelf and decided were about so many things that the romance might not be central enough: The Children's Book, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Remains of the Day, The Portrait of a Lady, War and Peace, Brideshead Revisited.

Bonus bonus round, not a book: Random Harvest. Yes it is a book, but in the novel, the romance which truly is emotionally anchoring (I would argue) is much more peripheral than it is in the film, which was, like the Wimsey novels, formative for me. Also, look at them:

I have not been normal about the way he looks at her for *checks notes* 25 years. And I hope you find some things to enjoy here!

My name is Jay Garrick, and it's sometimes funny for me to realize that I'm one of the most famous men on Earth, yet only a handful of people know me by that name. It's one of the odd things about playing this superhero game, being famous and anonymous at the same time.

Speed Force (1997) #1

(John Byrne)
