maekar giving baelor a gnarly facial scar at the trial that cuts into his lip & half his cheek. he's almost mad from guilt but baelor rather likes it. now his dornish features aren't the first thing referenced about his appearance& the pressure to seem perfect is lessened somehow
@and_her_ghosts It's going to be a detective au where baelor is acting all broody and repentant; meanwhile, maekar is like, "come here, let me choke the sense back into you 🤗"
Every time I think of Baelor attempting to backtrack and acting all remorseful after a decade of not-so-subconsciously grooming Maekar, I can understand how Maekar may be inclined to bash his skull in with a rock...
writing fic for yourself really is the key to happiness. bc i wrote fic last night, posted it, went to bed and woke up to reread and damn, i really know how to cater to my own needs.
