Fanfic Idea! (Lucemond, based on the kdrama "Fanletter, Please")
Lucerys was a popular figure skater, who used to compete in pair figure skating as a child, but soon entered into single figure skating, aiming to earn the golden medal for Driftmark in the Winter Olympic games. Unfortunately for him, he only got silver, and though his family reassured him that it was alright, that he did his best, that there was always next year, he still felt extremely self-conscious and all his insecurities just kept coming back.
He then received a massive amount of hate letters mixed with his fan letters, calling him a loser, saying he didn't even deserve the silver, let alone gold, that he should stop embarrassing the people of Driftmark and just leave figure skating permanently. He received so many letters calling him a nepo-baby, that he would never have been chosen to present them had he not been the grandchildren of Rhaenys and Corlys Velaryon, had he not been the son of the Realm's Delight. Every single letter fed his already growing insecurities, and reading every single one of them just stabbed him in the heart, making him sink deeper into the abyss of self-doubt and self-deprecation.
Soon, he couldn't even hold a letter, even those not addressed to him, without having a panic attack. Jace took all the letters away and made a public statement that Lucerys would be having his personal training, and asked fans to stop sending letters so he could concentrate.
Soon, Lucerys got his confidence back, though it was a slow, painful progress. He could hold letters now, but reading them would trigger his panic attacks, so much so that he continued to ignore every letter he received from fans.
Aemond, his ex partner, who, upon hearing his step-sister's worries through his mother, decided to do something about it.
When Lucerys entered his apartment, he was shocked to find the entire place filled with stuffed Arraxes, his favorite dragon character. There were different models in different sizes and poses, some larger than his torso, some with wings stretched to take flight, and some with cat-like poses, and he loved each and every one of them.
He took one of Arraxes (the one that sat like a dog) and hugged it, and was shocked to hear a very familiar voice he hadn't heard from in a long time (not since the "Driftmark Accident" where they tried a difficult stunt despite the warning from both parents, ending with Lucerys in crutches and Aemond missing an eye).
It took him a moment to realize he was reading something. A letter. A Fanletter. He paused it, fearing that a panic attack my start again, but it didn't. And he was curious. So he hugged Arrax, and the message continued.
It was from a child, seven years old, praising him for not giving up, telling him that he inspired him to learn how to figure skate. It was so childish and sweet, and it brought tears in Lucerys' eyes. How he missed that. The encouragement outside of his family, one born to support and cheer him on.
It didn't take him long to realize that all the stuffed Arrax had voice recordings. Aemond added his own spin in some of them, horrible and hilarious, as he tries to read them in different pitches and different styles. He added side comments of his own, which took Lucerys back to fonder times, where he and Aemond were up against the world.
The letters gave him the encouragement he craved and needed. He pushed himself harder, trained so much Jace had to physically pull him out of the rink.
Eventually, he decided to try and write back. His hands were shaking as he wrote, but after a few tries, he managed to have full control of his hand. He thanked them, showed his sincerity, told them he would do his best next Winter Olympics, asked them to continue to cheer him on.
Soon, he heard every single message from the stuffed Arrax, responded to every one, except for the last message. He could tell it would be different, because instead of Arrax, it was a stuffed Vhagar, Aemond's favorite dragon character.
In Vhagar was a message, but not from his fans. It was a voice letter from Aemond, telling him that he shouldn't ignore those who support him in fear of those who don't. That he should hold his head tall, that he's done what it took to get to where he was now. That he was proud of little Luke, who rose to the occasion.
When Lucerys entered the rink, it was like he was a different person. The scared, insecure little boy was gone, and there on that rink, was a young man, confident in his craft, in himself.
No one was surprised when he was given the golden medal. They were surprised when he dedicated it to his ex-figure skating pair, Aemond.
After his victory, photos surfaced of him and Aemond dancing in the rink once more.
---------
It needed to be done.
I couldn't keep it to myself. I'm weak to my own fantasies!
Thoughts? Violent reactions?

Lucerys is fifteen when he half-mutes himself and half-blinds his (then) teammate in an on-ice collision accident. he is twenty one when he makes his comeback, eager to restart his career and get that Olympic gold.
the only catch? Aemond is restarting his career in the same season with the exact same goal.
(at 19, Aemond was at the peak of his career; the one with all the spins and the quads and the musicality, the prodigal figure skater, the favorite to become the Olympics Champion. and then Lucerys collided into him at national, taking them both out of the race two competitions before the Olympics.)

Fanfic Idea!
Where young Lucerys decided to try a difficult figure skating stunt on ice, one he saw his mother do in a video of her youth where she was given the title "The Realm's Delight", and accidentally sliced Aemond's eye with his ice skate, causing irreparable damage.
His mother and his step-grandmother had a massive argument, causing the two families to split.
Years later, Lucerys is a figure skater training for the Olympics, and found out that his brother, Jace, was drafted in the same ice hockey team as Aemond, the uncle he maimed in his childhood.
So now he needs to train to get the chance at a spot for the Olympics, fight against other players accusing him for nepotism, revisit the crushing guilt of injuring his once favorite uncle, and deal with said uncle's heated gaze whenever he happens to be there watching Lucerys' training. (He knows the heat comes from hatred, but he's brother continues to insinuate that it comes from something else.)
