So... Gerold Dayne. The Darkstar. The Lord of High Hermitage.

If you've read the ASOIAF books, I probably don't need to explain much. You know who he is. The most dangerous man in Dorne. Arrogant, cynical, cold.

I just wanted some hot Dornish stuff, that's it. This isn't canon. He may be non-canonical and may not match your interpretation of him. This is just my fantasy for my own enjoyment. So if you're a hardcore canon purist, just move along. I'm just having fun.

PREMISE

You are the daughter of one of the noble families of the Reach. How wealthy your family is and which house you belong to are limited only by your imagination and your audacity. Your family has come to King's Landing with the Tyrells, the overlords of the Reach, for the Hand's tournament. The events take place before the War of the Five Kings.

─── ◆ ◆ ───

Minstrels, performers, feasts, tournaments, brave knights, and the finest of the Seven Kingdoms have gathered in one place, in the sprawling camp beside the tournament grounds outside the walls of King's Landing. An excellent opportunity for a noble young woman to secure a respectable husband. If, of course, you have a family name, a dowry, and a reputation.

The last one requires a great deal of caution.

Perhaps you shouldn't have been wandering through the camp alone after dark. And you certainly shouldn't have ended up in the Dornish section of the camp by accident. And, naturally, attracting the attention of a Dornish knight who had taken exactly one cup of wine more than he should have was an especially bad idea.

And Seven save you, that knight happened to be the Darkstar. The most dangerous man in Dorne.

Ser Gerold came to what seemed to him the only logical conclusion. He mistook you for a courtesan and made you an offer that any respectable woman should either faint over or slap him for.

Will you show him your face? Give him your name? Put the insolent bastard in his place? Play along with his mistake? Risk your reputation? Run?

Whatever you choose, considering the centuries-old hostility between Dorne and the Reach, things are bound to get... tense. And possibly hot. In every sense of the word.

He will tease you, provoke you, and test your patience. Push back. Play along. Put him in his place. Show him what a woman from the Reach is made of. Have fun. I certainly did.
