Fics like Kingmaker's Ballad

"No one loves a dog any better if it presents itself to be kicked," Gwayne snapped. "You talk of devotion, and service, and you may think me a ponce and a preening, arrogant fool, but I too am a knight, ser, and I know what it is to serve. To be dutiful is honourable; to devote oneself to a valiant cause, that is honourable. But to prostrate yourself before an altar you yourself erected, and then to seek to die of shame upon it: that is not devotion. It is pathetic. It is self-serving.” On campaign, Criston Cole takes up with Gwayne Hightower. It starts out as convenience. Then it becomes something else. Then something else again.
