"Harwin Strong deserved to be with his family he was so caring. He had to exist while another man claimed them and didn't care about honor when it came to them."
Tumblr media
His ass was with the heir to the iron throne.
His son would inherit the iron throne
His other son would be Lord of the tides
If he was sent away within that 5 year time span, he'd be married, and that son would inherit Harrenhall.
The king actively denied any talk of rumors and called it treason when anyone did.
He was around the family and held his newborn son with his child's mother in private.
The only thing he couldn't do was say they were his, but the mom and 'dad' knew it.
At any time, he could've been presented at the marriage tour as the heir to Harrenhall and son of the hand of the king.
Tumblr media
Let's be serious.
His ass got fomo because he had another kid that was born and was trying to be there for the other two in a way that would be the most acceptable.
He got upset because he got to do everything, but after that, he couldn’t do the one thing he wanted to do, and he still tried to do it.
Tumblr media
The entire situation is so unserious. And before you say I should consider his emotions, Ned Stark was killed for less.

reading more on the leaks for ep. 9 and 10 it is obvious aegon is not a morally grey character. he’s not even a character from what i see so far. he was a character as a teen now he’s just.... an evil dude running from any and all responsability always, always crying always whining never doing one thing right. like i don’t think they gave him one redeeming quality. 
and i know that the parenting and viserys and stuff but it feels very extra to deprive aegon, the guy who’s supposed to be rhaenyra’s rival for the thone, who’s supposed to be grey, of any and all redeeming qualities.
i think people think aegon not wanting the throne and to be king is a redeeming quality but it actually isn’t because he isn’t rejecting the throne out of honor or respect for rhaenyra or something, he just doesn’t want to deal with work and responsability. if rhaenyra died by something random suddenly, he still wouldn’t want it 
anyway i’m kinda mad because i wanted a more complex story about politics and power struggles and stuff and it’s just “woman misinterprets dying man’s wish and forces evil man to be king against his older sister who was named heir by previous king and who’s crime is passing her bastard sons as true heirs”
again. daemon doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things simply because he’s not running for the throne. is rhaenyra keeping him around fucked up? yeah. is he not the vile uncle who killed his wife to be with his groomed niece? also yes. so basically rhaenyra is partly a victim in this relationship, even if she’s older now. so daemon’s deeds are not her deeds, her crimes, her flaws. 
i am unwell

Totally agree, although I don't see Daemon as in love with Viserys or desiring him sexually. I think it's more of a complex that he has. Rhaenyra pretty overtly wishes she was born a boy, with Daemon it's more subconscious, he wishes deep down he was born a girl.
oh for sure he’s not kicking his feet thinking about sex with viserys like he does with nyra but he wants to be the consort he wants to be the attack dog he wants the place at viserys’ side and in the world of the Targaryens and incest marriages and dragons the best way for him to do that and be visenya!!! is to be a girl sister wife woman

I think HOTD does quite well in exploring generational/familial trauma, especially in the case of the Greens. Like we see Alicent's parenting style towards Aegon is relatively similar to that of Otto towards her. We see Alicent struggling to connect with Helaena, her daughter - Alicent's mother died and Alicent is somewhat estranged from other women. The kids have all somewhat internalised the apathy Viserys has towards them etc.
Two of my favourite scenes are the Driftmark "eye for an eye" scene and the family dinner in Episode 8. In Driftmark, we see the children on both sides endure a traumatic event, observing as their parents and the adults around them fight. Then in Episode 8, we see the adults sitting back and having a somewhat peaceful reunion, and then the conflict between them shifting to the children. I thought it was so interesting to see the kids internalise the fraught relationships in their family and how well the show presents the generational and familial conflicts being passed down to the children.

How do we help a Muslim headmate? We feel bad because none of us know how to help her feel like herself. We wear hoodies and hats so she can hide her hair if she fronts, but how do we make it so she can celebrate holidays?

Robert Baratheon x Reader (pt.2)
Tumblr media
Summary: in which the Queen gets her revenge on her husband
Tumblr media
The return of dragons came to a surprise for the realm. It was unexpected yet a blessing, especially for Rhaenyra. Finally, dragons returned to the world. Robert was not on board with having them in King's Landing at first but after watching Rhaenyra be happy after the loss of their child he agreed. Robert, despite marrying her without love came to enjoy her company as the two enjoyed making children.
Rhaenyra choose to let her dragons roamed free in a place where they were all away from people, to avoid harming innocent people. Prince Daemon was born in the year 283, near the end of the year. His brother Orys came days after his first name day in 284. In the year 286 came the twins, Aemon and Aemond. Just a year later in 287 she lost a child, it was then that Dragons were reborn.
By 290, Rhaenyra's dragons had grown a lot. The year prior they disappeared and when they returned they were the size of an adult dragon. So, for the first time in centuries a Targaryen finally took to the skies on dragonback. Balerion, the dragon she rode flew her to a part of the Keep that was abandoned and where he kept dragons eggs.
Rhaenyra brought Dragon Keepers to the Keep to help with the dragons and their eggs. The eggs, which were enough to give to each one of her children and brother, were kept warm and ready in the children's room. Finally, after five years of trying for a daughter, a girl finally came. Well, more like two. Rhaena and Helaena came during the summers of 290. By then, her children all had dragons eggs. Prince Daemon had claimed Caraxes, while his brother's hatched their eggs. Orys named his Eros. Aemon named his Moonfyre and Aemond named his Meraxes. Princess Rhaena and Helaena's dragon eggs hatched the same day of their birth.
King Robert threw a feast in honor of their first name day. By then, queen Rhaenyra had given him four sons and two daughters. Princess Rhaena was said to be as wild and defiant as her mother in her youth. Rhaena had the Targaryen hair and eyes, while her twin, princess Helaena had black hair and blue eyes like his father but she was as quiet and calm as her late grandmothers, queen Rhaella and Lady Cassana Baratheon. Robert was a decent king who took the input of his queen. They had a quiet a decent marriage.
Since the day they married Robert kept to his wife's and his own chambers. He slept with no other woman that was not his wife. Some had said he changed for the better and Eddard Stark could attest to that. Rhaenyra's life was good. She had no worries. Everything was just perfect.
The news reached her a few weeks later. Robert Baratheon had slept with Cersei Lannister or so she claimed. Cersei was a girl of three and twenty. She was yet to be married as her father hadn't found her a good match yet. Rhaenyra when she heard said nothing. Robert even thought she hadn't heard but she had. She knew, thanks to her little birds that Jaime was Cersei's lover. So, her plan was to take Jaime from Cersei. It was her goal to make him loyal to her.
Her plan began the very next day. She had asked Robert for a new guard. Stating that with six children it was better for them and her to have extra security. The king agreed. She smiled and acted as if nothing was happening. When Cersei was forced to move the keep by her father's order, Rhaenyra was forced to confront her husband.
Robert entered their shared chambers. "Nyra" she looked away. Rhaenyra was two and twenty. She had given her husband six children. She never complained nor did she cause him any problems. She simply did her duty, ever the dutiful her mother used to say. "I have never asked anything of you, nor have I ever caused you trouble or any problems. I have stood by you for the last seven years. I married you despite everything. I am no saint, nor have I ever been. I brought a son into a marriage that was not yours. You loved him and took care of him as if he was your own. And in return I gave your four sons with your blood and two daughters with your blood" there was a brief silence. "Where our children not enough?" she asked. "Was I not enough?" she asked.
Rhaenyra had never been insecure. How could she? She was a Targaryen, their beauty seemed to be god like and now, with her dragon being a god seemed far more possible than before. "I love you, Robert. But I will not be the person you treat like a common whore. If Cersei gives you a bastard child I will give you one too. And if she gives you another so will I" she said. Robert was too stunned to speak. She gave him on chance to speak before she left their shared chambers, Arthur and Jaime following behind.
Rhaenyra knew Cersei's greatest love was Jaime, and she rarely even allowed him to wonder far from her. Jaime didn't mind, watching over her gave him some sort of relief as he felt guilty for killing her father years back. He also wanted to keep her safe as he could not keep Elia and her children. Jaime was also avoiding his sister, as much as she would try to find him but he would walk the other way or ignore her pleas to talk. Over the months the good relationship between the queen and king perished in the blink of an eye. King Robert returned to his drunken and whoring ways.
Cersei Lannister gave birth to a son who she named Joffrey Baratheon, a boy with black hair and green eyes, he seemed to be all his father but the eyes. A year later, in the year 292, queen Rhaenyra gave birth to a son, a boy she named Rhaegar Targaryen and a daughter who she named Rhaella. The boy had blonde white hair. His eyes were the same eyes of princess Alyssa Targaryen, wife of Baelon Targaryen. One green eye and purple. Her daughter, princess Rhaella had a her grandmother's looks. Ser Jaime Lannister was the first one to hold his two children. A little princeling he used to call him and his little baby girl. Jaime and Rhaenyra were the ones who picked the names.
Robert knew but he said nothing as the guilt of returning to his old habits returned. Prince Jacaerys came four years after his sisters, then, a year after him came Lucerys. Princess Rhaenyra had always loved those names and had always wanted to name one of her sons like them. Prince Jacaerys had dark brown hair and purple eyes, his brother Lucerys was just like his brother. Queen Rhaenyra bore thirteen children at the short age of thirty. Her last two children were girls. Daughters. Visenya and Daenerys, daughters of Ser Arthur Dayne.
Eddard Stark never married, instead he served his queen Rhaenyra his entire life. And of course he took care of their two sons. Ned had became her closest companion alongside Arthur and Jaime Lannister. She had no other allies at court but them. At least, she didn't trust anyone else but them. Cersei gave Robert three more children. Tommen, Myrcella and Joanna but they were known as bastards since they were not married.
On the queen's name day, a thirtieth name day celebration was made in her honor. Every house in the realm attended, including Dorne, Driftmark and the North. By then, Prince Jaehaerys was nearly six and ten, Daemon was five and ten, Orys three and ten, Aemon and Aemond were one and ten, Helaena and Rhaena were eight, Rhaegar and Rhaella were nearly six, Jacaerys was four, prince Lucerys three and his sisters had just turned one.
Queen Rhaenyra, despite birthing thirteen children looked far better than most, she was grateful, she also took care great of her figure, she wanted to preserve herself as much as she could. Robert knew that seven of those children where not his. Jaehaerys had been claimed as a Targaryen despite Tywin's insistence to keep him as a bastard. Rhaenyra did not wish for her son to bear the name Baratheon or Stark. Brandon had written to her often wanting to know about his son but he not once had asked for the boy to visit him nor to be claimed as a Stark. She knew Catelyn did not like the idea of Brandon's bastard sons being in their home and possible taking Robb's birthright.
During the Queen's name day celebration things are said and revenge is plotted. They say when you play the game of thrones you win or you die, there is no middle ground. Queen Rhaenyra is going to win, no matter what. The question is, will she succeed or will she fail?

A Demon’s Ache — Part 20
Eyeless Jack x Reader
A Demon's Ache Masterlist
Commissioned by @cookiereblogss — thank you so so much for your whole support throughout this entire series! It genuinely wouldn’t be here without you, and I appreciate it so much 💓💗💖
Requests are closed but commissions are open!
Masterlist: x
Pain
Before he can even begin to understand where he is, all he can register is pain
His body’s numb with it
A groan escapes him
Blood pounds in his eardrums
It feels like his head’s being split open from the inside—he can’t remember the last time he had such a bad migraine
He reaches up to press his hands to his head, as if doing so could alleviate his headache, and the movement is accompanied by the sound of metal clanging against metal
He pauses, his body stiffening as he realizes there's a weight around his wrists
He’s chained down to something
With a disgruntled sound, he forces his attention to his surroundings
The first thing he notices is that he’s in some sort of basement, with dark wood-paneled walls and bare stone floors
He’s not wearing his mask, his face uncomfortably exposed for anyone to see, but that’s the least of his problems right now
He's kneeling, chained to the wall, he realizes, in front of both you and The Operator
Worry laces your features
The scent of your stress and fear permeates the otherwise stale, dead air
Panic infiltrates Jack's system as things start to click into place
What happened?
He tries to think back to the last thing he remembers; something about running through the forest, something about wanting to kill
But the more he tries to remember, the louder that dull pounding in his head grows, and he realizes he just can't concentrate properly
Not right now, anyway, not like this
He tries to shake the discomfort off, and then, feeling awkward just kneeling there in front of the both of you, he stands
Or, at least, he tries to stand, but his legs are shaky and unstable, like he recently over-exerted himself, and his muscles are too stiff to function properly, so he gives up, and simply stays on the dirty floor
“Jack…” you say his name, then hesitate, like you’re scared or uncertain about something
It breaks his heart
He wants to reach out and comfort you
Before anything else—before even figuring out what happened and why he’s here—he just wants to make sure you’re ok
Jack Nyras
He flinches at the sound of his name, his real, full name, echoed in his mind by The Operator's rumbling hiss
He can't remember the last time he heard that name—it feels like lifetimes ago
He'd almost forgotten it entirely, and, in all honesty, he would've preferred to keep it that way
You have violated the laws of the Safe House
Static fills his mind, growing in intensity with every word
What is your defense?
Defense?
He can hardly remember what happened, and now he's supposed to defend himself?
He tries to concentrate again, tries to think through the noise crowding his head
He remembers making it to a cabin—the proxies' cabin?
He remembers wood splintering and glass shattering, and then there was something about a fight, something about squeezing someone's neck between his hands, feeling pleasure as their life slowly drained away
He shivers, repressing the memory
What is your defense?
The question is repeated, louder this time, noticeably less forgiving and more commanding
"I-I don't know," Jack admits out loud, "I don't have one"
You are aware of the consequences of violating the laws of the Safe House
Even though it isn't a question, it's phrased as though The Operator expects an answer
And so, with a nod, Jack complies
"I am"
The faceless monster tilts its head to the side, the motion, of which, might’ve been unnerving if Jack hadn’t grown so used to it
Do you accept the consequences?
The hybrid furrows his brows
The biggest rule of the mansion was to never intentionally harm another resident
The punishments ranged in severity depending on circumstance, but Jack definitely had the intention to kill—and to kill one of Slender’s beloved proxies, nonetheless
Having him ask if he accepted the consequences could only mean one thing; he was about to face expulsion
How could he just accept that?
He looks up at you, at your fear, at your nervousness and confusion and uncertainty
What about her? Why did you drag her down to see this?
He doesn't say it out loud, but he directs his question to the eldritch being
Her presence is for her own benefit, seeing as her fate is tied to yours
It takes him a moment to register the low timber pervading his mind
And, at first, he almost thinks he didn't understand correctly
"What do you mean?"
He asks the question slowly, carefully, keeping his voice low as if to contain the mix of emotions threatening to surface
He doesn't look away from you as he asks, either—he can't
He wants to see your reaction, wants to know what you’re thinking, what you’re feeling
Part of him is also curious to see if you understand what they're talking about, based solely on his side of the conversation
Or maybe you’re having your own internal discussion with The Operator at the same time
But then he notices the obvious confusion and burning curiosity stirring alongside your fear, and he realizes you really don’t know
She has become inherently tied to you; she will share your decided fate, it repeats
"What? Why? That doesn't make any sense," he jerks in his chains; a futile attempt to free himself
She didn't do anything wrong
He adds in that last part in his head because he doesn’t want you to know what they're talking about
Part of him still insists on sheltering you from as much of this mess as possible
It is simply how things must come to pass
The Operator expresses it with such an air of indifference that it makes Jack's blood boil
"I refuse," Jack hisses
After everything he's done, everything he did to you—he can't be the reason you're expelled
He's caused enough disorder in your life as is
You have no choice, The Operator answers simply
"Give me the choice," Jack insists, a snarl accidentally rippling out of him as his anger bubbles out
And it isn't like him at all to succumb to his anger so easily; he usually prides himself on his ability to remain calm and collected, even in tense situations
But it’s like this whole thing is just grating on his nerves at this point
And it’s even worse since you’re involved in this, too
And that's when it suddenly clicks that this must be one of the many effects of the mark
You have no choice, The Operator repeats, and as the voice fills his head, so does an overwhelming wave of static
Jack chokes back another snarl
His muscles tense, and he grits his teeth, trying to bear the pain threatening to split his head open again
"S-stop—don't hurt him!"
Hearing you cry out for him, he looks up, right as another surge of agony knocks the breath out of him
It's dizzying
The pain pushes and presses up against his skull, like his head's suddenly way, way too crowded and it's on the verge of bursting
Once it's filled his mind, left with no other space to invade, it travels down his nervous system like a flash of electricity, burning every single nerve ending along the way
It's excruciating
The intensity drowns out everything in his surroundings
Somewhere at the back of his mind, he hears you crying out again, but he can't make out the words over the shrill ringing in his ears
He sees you trying to reach for him, sees The Operator's tendrils appear out of nowhere to wrap around you, to hold you back from helping him
Jack hisses out through gritted teeth
His chest heaves with labored breaths as he’s violated from the inside-out
Something cold licks up his thoughts, and then all at once, his memories are forced to surface
Every interaction, every intimate moment shared between the two of you is brought up and laid bare for The Operator to pick through
The steamy exchanges, the longing, the private glances, the first kiss—all of the back and forth, the tangle of emotions and miscommunications that'd been treasured in his memories is yanked from the privacy he'd previously taken for granted
No, no, no—stop—stop doing this—make it stop
Even through the burning pain, the words repeat themselves over and over in his head—as if merely thinking it could stop him
He'd rather be tortured than forced to expose everything like this
It’s beyond violating—he’s tarnishing the intimacy of the memories by being so rough and cruel with them
He doesn’t know how long it lasts—it feels like a short, endless eternity
And then, before he knows it, it’s all over
The agony subsides like it was never there to begin with, and he's left dizzy and nauseous, and torn between wanting to cry and wanting to kill the damn bastard with his bare hands
When he looks up at you, an apology hangs at the tip of his tongue, but he doesn't have time to express it as he notices the fear in your eyes, now more intense than ever, as The Operator's tentacles twist and writhe around your form
One quick snap would be all it takes to kill you
He lurches forward, about to plead, about to say anything to save you, when you open your mouth and speak
"I- I don't know," you say, and he realizes The Operator's in your mind now, having a conversation about God-knows-what
He wants to interrupt, wants to beg him not to hurt you, but at the same time, he's scared doing just that will jeopardize your safety
You chew at your lip, looking at Jack with uncertainty clear on your features
"It's-it's complicated—please, just, don't—"
You cut yourself off with a wince, and when you squirm in Slender’s hold, the tendrils tighten even further around you like he's planning on suffocating you
Jack holds his breath
He doesn't know whether or not he should say something
He's never felt so helpless
You wince again, squeezing your eyes shut
"Yes," you answer, and Jack's just about dying to know the context of the exchange
The following seconds trickling are unbearably slow and agonizing
Your eyes keep darting back and forth uncertainly, looking at him, looking at Slender, then back to him with your brows furrowed in contemplation
Just free her, he pleads internally, just let her go and I won't cause any more trouble
But almost immediately as he thinks it, your breath catches in your throat with a gasp
“N-no—don’t,” he tries to beg, knowing what’s coming, but as soon as he opens his mouth, you scream
Pain contorts your features, your body going rigid before you twist and jerk to try to free yourself
God, he can’t stand it
He can’t stand the sound of your pain, the sight of your visceral gut-wrenching agony
"Stop, stop! Make it stop—I'll do anything!"
Pleas falling on deaf ears, he snarls, jerking forward only to have the chains snap him back into place
Your screaming overrides his humanity—whatever was left of his rational mind evaporates and leaves behind his baser instincts
It turns him into a monster
He doesn’t hear himself snarling and growling over your pained cries
He doesn’t hear the chains groaning in protest, doesn’t register the feeling of them bending with strain as he pulls against them with all of his force
He just needs to make it stop
The metal creaks unpleasantly as he gains an inch, and then another one after that
The fixture restraining him to the wall goes taut, and then, all at once, it finally snaps off
The tentacles disappear as he rushes toward you
He wraps his arms around you, pressing you close to his chest, as if the less distance there is between the both of you, the better he can protect you
The last thing he thinks is that he'd die for you, and then everything goes dark
He wakes up sore and disoriented, which seems to be a recurring theme as of late
Except, this time, instead of being in some shady basement, he's... outside, in the forest
Sun peaks through the canopy of the trees, dappling the grass in bright patches of warmth
With a groan, Jack sits upright
His mask is staring up at him from a bed of wildflowers
He picks it up, fixes it over his face, and looks around
He doesn't immediately recognize this part of the forest, which would worry him—if a more intense kind of panic didn't immediately seize his chest at the realization that you're not anywhere around
He wastes no time standing up, ignoring the protest of his aching muscles, and moving in the direction of the sun
But he only makes it maybe 20 minutes or so when he feels a presence behind him
He tenses, knowing it could only be one person
And, surely enough, when he turns around, he finds Slender facing him expectantly
"Where is she?"
He wastes no time asking the question
Fuck everything else, he just needs to know you're ok
(Y/n) has made a bargain, it informs, and it sets Jack on edge even more so than he already was
She has 24 hours to decide, among other things, whether or not she is willing to become your mate
Jack's throat tightens
Failure to accept, or failure to decide, will result in both of you being expelled from the Safe House
He’s condemned you, Jack thinks, much to his horror; because of this mess he’s created, he’s inadvertently forcing you to either live a life you don’t want, or lose the one you currently cherish so deeply
It's all his fault
Nausea like bile rises in his throat
“Is there… is there any other way around this?” he insists, “Can't you just expel me, and leave her out of this? She didn’t do anything to deserve punishment—she didn't break any rules”
The Operator tilts his head to the side
The mere notion that a compromise is being permitted is an exception not permitted to most. There is no other way
“What about—“ he tries again, balling his fists at his side as he refuses to accept things, “what about if—if things don't pan out," he takes a deep breath, knowing it's a plausible reality, "and we're both kicked out—if we sort things outside of the mansion, and come to some kind of peaceful agreement or understanding together—could she still be allowed in?”
A tense second passes as The Operator considers his question
If, it clarifies, you and (y/n) come to an agreement that guarantees you will not be jeopardizing the sanctuary of the Safe House, I may consider her re-admittance based on a very strictly defined set of terms
The burden on his shoulders lightens somewhat
It isn’t much, but it’s something—something he can cling to if nothing else works
Some kind of hope
You are to remain here until the decision is taken, or the time otherwise reaches its end
And, just like that, he vanishes
For the rest of the morning—or, at least, what he assumes to be morning, based on the position of the sun—Jack wanders aimlessly through the forest
He thinks about the past few hours, how quickly everything spiraled, how it's all his fault
He doesn't know how you could ever manage to forgive him—much less accept being his mate
He runs through hundreds of scenarios in his head, trying to figure out the best course of action that would guarantee you keep your spot at the mansion
Jack's not an idiot; he's always known Slender's had an eye on him, so to speak
Maybe he could strike up his own bargain; becoming a proxy in exchange for your guaranteed residence at the mansion
He'll sell his soul to the devil for you, if he has to
Time trickles by slowly, painfully so
He doesn't know what to do with himself, so he just overthinks, and overthinks, and overthinks some more after that
The sun crests over the midway point in the sky, dips down a few inches, and still, no word from Slender
He sits, leaning his back against a tree, and tries to relax, tries to fall asleep or something to pass the time—but it, of course, is impossible to do so
He digs his fingers into the soft dirt
He feels the earth give way beneath his nails, and it reminds him of the feeling of tearing organs from a body
He pulls out a patch of grass, sprinkles it around him, repeats the motion
He’s ripped out maybe half a dozen handfuls when he feels that presence in front of him again
He looks up, and sees The Operator looking down at him
You are free to return to the mansion
It’s all he says before disappearing
The demon’s heart leaps up his throat
He stands, and starts making his way toward what he can only guess to be the mansion’s general direction
He doesn’t know why the damn bastard couldn’t have just teleported him there, or why he was forced to wait in this forest, but none of that matters right now
All that matters is he has the chance to see you again, to make sure you’re ok
It takes him longer than he would’ve liked to make it, but a few hours into his trek, he spots that familiar shape of the large building just up ahead
He picks up the pace, nearly jogging the rest of the way
He doesn’t wait a moment longer to make it to your room
As soon as he reaches it and makes it to your room, he notices that your door’s wide open, but you’re not inside
He takes in a slow, steadying breath
His room
He should check his own room; maybe you figured it’d be better to meet him there
After everything that’s been said and done, even despite Slender’s verdict, he doesn’t want to get his hopes crushed
Which is why he keeps his expectations exceptionally low as he beelines it to his room
And after everything that’s happened up until this point, it almost doesn’t even feel real when he sees you there; curled up in his bed, your eyes closed and your breathing slow and steady with his pillow hugged to your chest
He walks up to the bed, careful to not wake you
But either you weren’t sleeping, or you weren’t in a very deep sleep, because you immediately open your eyes when he gets to the edge of the bed
“…Hey,” you say, softly, your voice gentle, with a faint smile on your lips
“Hey,” he answers
You move over a few inches to make space for him, then pat the empty space next to you
He’s, admittedly, somewhat hesitant, somewhat nervous to accept the offer
But when he does, and when you cuddle up next to him, and he can hold you in his arms again so that nothing could hurt you, he finally relaxes around you
It wasn’t a secret that the hybrid had a thing for you
But now you knew; knew how badly he wanted you, knew the lengths he’d go to please you, to make you his
Maybe he’s not so hopeless after all, he thinks
Maybe, just maybe, things are going to be ok

Do you think Rhaenyra and Daemon would work together to get the Reader? I can see them forming a shaky truce and marrying after their spouses die, but still pushing for their respective sons to marry the Reader. Jace and Daemon's son constantly compete for the Reader’s love. I can also see Luke and Joff/Baela and Rhaena backing up their respective bros and adding to the chaos. Meanwhile, Aegon and Aemond are fuming at King’s Landing.
A big reason why Leanor and Rhaenyra’s marriage happened in the first place is under an agreement to share the reader, it was also a deal made between Viserys and Corlys. Daemon and Rhaenyra while marrying out of desire, also did under a similar agreement. But while they agreed to share her they are also simultaneously maneuvering behind each other’s backs on whose son she marries. 
With the marriage done so soon after their children’s death, Corlys and Rhaenys aren’t all too happy. In fact, they had hoped that they take the reader to themselves and have her reside on Driftmark.
Surprisingly, Rhaenys finds herself taking Daemon’s side, trying to persuade the reader to wed Viserion. Rhaenys even goes as far as to propose letting Jace wed Baela and Luke to Rhaena. However, even if Rhaenyra ever agrees to this proposal, she’ll continue to find ways to bring Jace and the reader close, having him accompany her whenever she goes, and even letting her ride Vermax during travels. 
Daemon, on the other hand, relies on Viserion to do it himself, he is his father’s son after all. Viserion is much more forward, participating in tournaments, and vying for the honor of crowning the reader, challenging any suitors who dare come between him and her.
The siblings also choose sides, with Luke and Joffrey supporting their brother and Baela and Rhaena doing the same to theirs. Baela and Rhaena have a better advantage as they can easily enjoy girl time with the reader, akin to sleepovers where they persuade you into giving in to their brother's advances. However, Luke and Joffrey somehow find a way of tricking you to help them with something only to find yourself conveniently alone with Jace. 
Despite, Viserion appearing to have an apparent advantage, it all changes when Viserys comes in. He of course advocates for Jace, in his eyes the reader deserves nothing more than to be a queen, and what a wonderful queen she’ll make. He’s also had his issues over the reader’s namesake, being Laenor’s daughter she had to have his Velaryon name; marrying Jace would solve all that without causing any problems with the Velaryons. Funny enough, Daemon himself finds weding Viserion to be a solution to that issue as well. 
Otto and Alicent, predictably, oppose both matches, with Alicent seeing all faults in Nyra’s sons and Otto is vehemently against the idea of a marriage between the reader and Daemon’s son. The two are doing all they can do to sabotage any potential matches, Otto is sure that all he needs is some time for when Aegon becomes king, they can just wed them.
Meanwhile, it doesn’t take one to say that the animosity between Aegon and Aemond is growing, but it intensifies with Viserion and Jace. Whenever the family visits, it usually ends with a fight breaking out. To prevent any possible accident mishaps, no more than one can participate in any tourneys.

chapter 5 | RIVER OF FIRE | blood runs thick | d.t x reader x r.t
masterlist | series masterlist | previous chapter
synopsis: the aftermath of Alicent being wed to Viserys.
Tumblr media
~ “Did you think it all true, all these things will catch up to you now.” ~
It truly wasn’t much of a bother, was it. Here you were, threading together a bouquet with gold silk threads and next to you paced Rhaenyra, cursing practically anyone that would dare interrupt her maniacal pacing. Five steps she would walk forward, mutter curses under her breath and then she would turn, walk five more. The antechamber almost grew hot, burning along with Nyra’s ire, the dragon flames within her burnt so bright, you feared for the Queen’s life.
She was just next door, being readied for her wedding by her Hightower cousins, you could hear the rambling and muffled giggling and jangles of gold bangles and necklaces. Her wedding to Viserys - by the gods - even now brought bile to the back of your mouth coating it with bitter thickness. It wasn't unheard of but perhaps when the bride bleeds from so close to home, one might truly weep for her virtue. Even if she were to be the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, a girl and a grieving King. What bore far more pain was that she hid it, for months she hid her ongoing relationship with the King, from you, from Rhaenyra. Being unable to aid Rhaenyra through her grief to which Alicent sewed parts of Rhaenyra back together with such ease. She is wise, truly wise, yet she hid this. Rhaenyra believes her a traitor now, for weeks she voiced the fear of Aemma’s memory fading if Viserys were to remarry, Alicent listened and yet said nothing.
You were pulled from your thoughts as the doors to Alicent’s bed chambers opened, ladies poured out one by one, bowing to you and Rhaenyra before heading for the Grand Sept, the bells had begun to ring, marking the King’s arrival to the Sept.
A girl of six and ten turned into a woman, Alicent stood at the door with a stunning ivory gown, her cape sleeves curving around her figure and intricate gold metal work placed on her shoulders to mimic dragon wings, her beautiful brown hair pulled up. She was radiant as always, you couldn't help but smile at her, it was her wedding day after all.
Alicent’s eyes flicker to Rhaeyra, expecting to find some warmth within the purple of her eyes, Nyra gives Alicent a once over, taking in what had seemed like a nightmare come true.
“You look lovely, your grace” the hint of sarcasm coated thick in Rhaenyra’s voice as she bowed to Alicent before taking her leave.
You pitied her, the smile you gave her after screamed so, the Queen loved by all but the one closest to her. You walked her, reaching out to fix an untucked ribbon and then handing her the bouquet.
“Is there no way that I might mend this?” she sighed, sorrowful and guilty.
“Not today.”
She looked defeated as you fussed with pinnings of her wedding dress.
“Not today, because today is about you, our petty problems will be with us tomorrow too, my lady.” you give her a once over before once more smiling at her “today you become Queen.”
This time she matches your smile, a long breath shaking away the sorrow weighing upon her shoulders. You walked behind her, lifting her long train with both arms as she proceeded to walk.
There was this joy, your friend was being wed, a momentous event but you couldn’t breathe past how terrified Alicent looked, and torn over how perturbed Nyra appeared to mask her strong need to sob. Your lover and your companion, both bleeding from the wounds of court and you could help but one, a side that you had to choose. She had ripped through two dolls, sobbing over the one gown she managed to steal from her mother’s chests. She didn’t want a stepmother but most of all she didn't want to have to lose a friend so cruelly. No matter how tightly you held Nyra through the nights and gave her comforting touches, the dark shadow of doom that seemed to follow never left her, it loved her more than you could. More than the sunshine could cast a shadow, it persisted. At supper and at tea, it pained you to watch her so.
So much so, she wrote to Daemon, begging him to return, to stop this madness, speak some sense into his brother but what was done couldn’t be undone by a banished prince, now could it?
You reached for Nyra’s hand as you stood amongst the people, watching the Targaryen cloak draped over Alicent taunt her. All would be well, all must be well, you prayed. A marriage for the stability of the Realm, even with an heir, the lords never truly seemed satiated.
As Alicent and Viserys turned with their heads held high, the crowds cheered, roared in an out pour of joy. A new Queen had blessed the Realm, soon she would bless the Realm with a son.
A son, you looked to Rhaenyra. The whites of her eyes had gone red, moist.
“She is no Queen of mine.” she angrily whispered to you.
In the vast toll of things, one thing you had expected less. Rhaenyra had charged her ladies to be so frigid to the Queen. You sat with her and her ladies, leisurely pushing your needle through the fabric and then back out, every now and then glancing at Alicent and the growing mound of her belly hidden behind the plush blanket she sat under.
A rabid dog with a mustard collar, that’s what you were to her. Shielding her from the bitch-like behaviour many of these courtly ladies had directed towards her. Loud mouthed wenches, snickering behind her back, most of them had expected to be Queen– now they lick their wounds, playing those half cooked political games to gain Alicent’s favour. Most of all, you shielded her from Rhaenyra’s wrath, raging just as hot as Syrax’s fire, burning all those who might to diminish it, though you– immune to the brunt of it all, both figuratively and literally. The Targaryen in you kept you Valyrian-clad, and Rhaenyra’s lover in you kept you protected.
You looked out the window this time, you were sure she was up there– somewhere so high where if she was to let out rageful screams, she would be the only one to hear. Well– her, Syrax and perhaps a vulture or two. You and her had talked about it at length, while Viserys saw the possibility of a spare, all Rhaenyra saw was an heir, to overshadow her, to depose her before her father sold her hand in marriage to the highest bidder. A castle? Gold? Armies or perhaps a foreign political connection, casting her away. Just as Jaehaerys’s daughters suffered, so would she.
Your mother Daenereys was probably the most fortunate of the lot, along with her sister Alyssa. Both women married the men their hearts desired, Alyssa and Baelon producing the purest of Targaryen children and your mother bringing Dorne into the fold by marrying your father Allyrion Martell. You however bleed Martell through and through, unlike your brother that possessed purple eyes, the ravenous features of a true Dornish woman embraced you as you grew, full lips, sun kissed glow, a distinct head of loose curls, leaving but a few streaks of white, just like Princess Rhaenys.
That was besides the point that even with the macabre tradition of the Dornish and the contumacy of Targaryen traditions, you couldn’t fathom admitting that you indeed wanted Alicent’s child to be a boy, for that little child to be heir so you and Rhaenyra could fly east, just like you always dreamed of, marry and live in a quaint little hold with servants purchased from sold jewellery and a farm of your own. Yet once a prey tastes blood, it can only want for more, Rhaenyra’s purpose was this, to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, she found power within the title bestowed upon her and just as demanded flaunted his oddities with immunity so would she, you could do naught but follow her, obey her commands and prepare for the day that she would sit the Iron Throne– with a husband on her back instead of you.
You couldn’t give her heirs of her blood, no blood magic nor prayer could change that you too were born a girl, and the unnatural pairing of the two of you would lead to carnage.
“Princess?” the voice of Enorah standing by the doorway tore your attention, you looked at her, momentarily stunned– returning to the world of the living “The Princess Rhaenyra has demanded your presence in the Godswood.”
Demanded
Rhaenyra knew at the cusp at which she played at, your afternoons were Alicent’s by the King’s “suit,” you turn to Alicent apologetically.
“My Queen if I may…”
“Go on, I have my other ladies to keep me company, perhaps I might return to my chambers for some respite.”
You looked around the ladies scattered across the chamber floors before neatly putting away your embroidery ring, you stood, back straight and shrouded in formality. You bowed to your friend before taking your leave.
You knew how you find Rhaenyra in the Godswood, hair mussed— stinking of dragon on the rage of the fourteen flames in her eyes.
“Why must you be with her?”
Something so sacred but irreparable, such a bind of sisterhood never found again. Squandered yet again by what you knew to be the ugly politics of lords in their ivory towers. What irked you the most was the price paid was you— your companions barely old enough to bleed let alone be pawns to whatever bargains were being struck in the Great Halls of the Red Keep.
You remembered the fight they had so vividly, almost envisioning it as you entered the Godswood.
“Rhaenyra, slow down!” You huffed, hiking your skirts to chase behind her.
Viserys had just announced his proclaimation, you stood there. Among the choices he had, along with Laena. Alicent too was— oddly among the lot. It wasn’t a surety until he said her name.
You were sure Rhaenyra felt it harder than you did, right in your gut. A dagger wound, you should have seen this coming. She looked torn, regrettably so, but why? She would be Queen.
Thus you chased out Rhaenyra, down the stairs and to the Godswood where she wiped at her angry tears.
Dear gods
When the realization set it, your closest friend had lied to you, through her teeth. Under the disguise of consolement and wise words of religion and perhaps comfort. She hid her “affairs” with Viserys.
For her sake you wished that she would steer clear of Rhaenyra but such fate was beyond her for she too followed.
“You!” She whipped her head furiously towards Alicent.
“Why? I wept to you, afraid for my mother’s memory and you betrayed me!”
“Rhaenyra truly—“
“You do not speak! You do not breathe near me.”
“Ever again…”

Imagine jace and his young wife, both already married to each other for a while now and they've only just come of age. Then the young wife starts to show weird food cravings, finding the smell of certain foods repulsive, falling asleep at random hours of the day, etc. Rhaenyra immediately makes the connection that she's pregnant, immediately looks at Jacaerys Velaryon, flicks his ear and says 'Didnt i tell you that its too soon your pullout game is sh!t"😁😁😁 but shes actually happy for both and is only worried that theyre too young but knows theyre going to be great parents 💞
Tumblr media
ABSOLUTELY. weak ass pullout game frfr
From the second you got betrothed and then officially wedded Jacaerys Velaryon, you both became extremely close to one another, and of course, you immediatly fell in love for each other. And as expected, after your wedding ceremony, you began sharing quarters together. Where, you know... Things most happen there, now that you have private time for yourselves, alone. *coughcoughCOUGHCOUGH👀👀*
Not too long after finally sharing chambers together, you suddenly began having strange reactions, needs, and attitudes. Some foods that you didn't mind eating or smelling previously — or you greatly liked them —, you suddenly found a huge distaste to them and felt disgusted to an extreme, continous vomiting, having abrupt mood swings, cravings for certain things you earlier in your life barely considered, being too sleepy and falling asleep anywhere, no matter the hour.
Rhaenyra, being a lovely mother of 5 beautiful boys, immediatly realised what your problem was one time after you made another mention of how you could barely tolerate the taste/smell of X food while being at dinner.
While you were distracted talking to someone else after said mention, Nyra was sitting by Jace's side, and of course, she turned to look at him, playfully took his ear as if she were 'sweetly caressing it' — actually was pinching and pulling it— and then leaned closer as to whisper to him.
“Jacaerys Velaryon. I thought we had talked about this. Isn't it too soon to father a child?” she whispered, clenching her teeth briefly at the end of her statement.
Poor Jace, he'll be nervously gulping and trying to act normal. But yeah, he kinda uhm, missed the part where he actually had to pull out. Got too carried away with the fervid moment of carnal love.
Anyways, you called a maester to check up on you; and indeed, you were with child.
Even if Rhaenyra is merely concerned because you are still young people that recently came to age, and she just wants you to have all the best safety in the world when it comes to pregnancies, our lovely girl Nyra is tremendously joyful to hear you are having a child together, and will soon be a grandma. She has zero doubts at all that you will be the best, and most caring parents ever.
Expect her to be by your side always. She will always recommend Jace how to treat you, how to show you love and support throughout your pregnancy, things to keep in mind, and of course, parenting tips. This not only goes for Jace, but for you as well. And she will be particularly attentive to you, taking the best of care for you, and helping you out with whatever you need: food cravings, warm baths to help you calm you down, names for the baby, preparations, etc.
And she is also the type of sweet mother-in-law to stick by your side before, during, and after the birth of your child BECAUSE THAT'S HOW PRECIOUSLY LOVING SHE ISSS 🥰🥰😭
And Jace? The best father ever. He will take his mother's wise advice about children very seriously, and will obviously use them on you. Taking care of you, giving you massages, tons of cuddlings and kisses, treating you even more softly, and offering you his hand and wholehearted support during the hard labour of the child.
Rhaenyra knows you'll be the best parents ever, and she's tremendously joyful to see you together so happy with your babe. Of course, she'll always be there to provide proper support and care <3

yandere daemyra with innocent rebel reader would be so cute😞😞 reader trying to fight with daemon and rhaenyra dyning their love but she feel so protected around them
reader is the type "I'm not an object!" but in the end is sleepy on rhaenyra's arms 💗💗
This works so well when you think about how motherly Rhaenyra is, too.
It's instinctual for her to dote on cute little things that need to be protected, and her darling is just one of those things to her. She's dealt with the tantrums of children and adults alike, so her darling fighting against her love is no real problem for Rhaenyra. It hurts her, of course, when (Name) won't let her or Daemon close, but that can all be fixed with enough time.
Obviously, then we have Daemon. He's more on the impatient side, and I can definitely see their darling being more scared of him than Rhaenyra. He's rough and aggressive in all things, so it's easy for their delicate little baby to get startled by him.
This works in Rhaenyra's favor, actually. When Daemon gets too aggressive with (Name), it's not too uncommon for them to run to Rhaenyra with tears in their eyes. Nyra takes full advantage of this and cuddles their fears away while making sure that they're warm and taken care of (it can get quite chilly at Dragonstone). She knows how intimidating Daemon can be, so she's good at sympathizing.
I feel like there would be forced cuddle sessions after one of their darlings tantrums. They fight against Rhaenyra and Daemon as he holds them in place, and Rhaenyra just coos sweet nothings into their ears as they're forced to fall asleep between the two.
Daemon and Rhaenyra both baby (Name), but they do this in different ways.
Rhaenyra is more soft and sweet. She's gotten more mellow in recent years. After having five boys, she knows that gentleness is a huge thing. That's exactly what she is, too. .Gentle. Rhaenyra knows that the world can be cruel and punishing, and she understands (Name)'s tantrums to a certain extent. Of course, she doesn't see (Name) as a child, rather a lover. She's still very motherly and takes them into her arms instinctively whenever she sees them upset.
Daemon, on the other hand, doesn't believe that (Name) can do anything without him and Rhaenyra. Their innocent mind contributes to this state of mind that Daemon has, and unlike Rhaenyra, he does sometimes see them as something rather than someone.
He's controlling, to an extreme degree, and if it were up to Daemon, (Name) would be locked up in their chambers all day and night.
However, as we all know, Daemon is not in control. Rhaenyra has tbe control within their relationship, and she would never stand for him to isolate their darling.
"It would be detrimental to their health, Daemon"
He quite likes their rebellious side, though, and often teases them just to see them fight back against his affections.
He's insane <3
Tumblr media
this kind of has a m/ddlg vibe to it, I apologize 😭
but... mommy rhae <3

Long Post Incoming
——————
I don’t know who needs to hear this (*cough* TB stans *cough*) but Aegon has always had a stronger claim that Rha*nyra.
According to Andal law, a son comes before a daughter, and a niece comes before an uncle. The only time Rha*nyra had a strong claim was when she was Vis*rys’s only living child. No one wanted Da*mon on the IT because they knew that he would essentially be a second Maegor (or worse). Not only was Rha*nyra more well liked at the time, but in accordance to the law, she had a stronger claim that Da*mon.
At the end of the day, Rha*nyra being named heir had nothing to do with Rha*nyra. In the book, she was named heir so that Da*mon wouldn’t become king, and in the show, she was named heir because of Vis*rys’s guilt for killing Aemma. It was never about her. But, once Rha*nyra heard her daddy name her his successor, she rolled with it and refused to give up her claim. Which again, at the time, was at its strongest.
That is, until Vis*rys married Alicent and had Aegon.
Otto states that the succession changed the second Aegon was born, and although Otto isn’t the easiest man to like, he wasn’t wrong. As soon as Vis*rys fathered a living son, Rha*nyra was brought down from being first in line, to being second in line, with Da*mon now being third in line.
Now GRRM harkened back to Henry VIII and the succession crisis regarding his three living children (Mary, Elizabeth, and Edward), and states that Edward was third in line but was to become king first.
There’s just one problem. There was no succession crisis.
Edward, despite his age, was ALWAYS first in line for the throne. Everyone and their mother knew the second he was born, he would be Henry’s heir. Henry removed Mary and Elizabeth from the succession and denounced them as illegitimate because he annulled his marriages to his first and second wives, Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn.
Mary and Elizabeth were only returned to the succession through the Third Succession Act of 1543 because Henry did not father anymore sons, and he needed spares should anything happen to Edward. But Edward remained first in line nonetheless, whereas Mary and Elizabeth followed right after despite both of them being older.
Because of Aegon’s birth, Rha*nyra’s claim has weakened substantially, and while it’s still stronger than Da*mon’s, people will naturally gravitate towards Aegon due to the majority of Westeros, save for Dorne, following male primogeniture.
If Vis*ys really wanted to strengthen his daughters claim and instill her as heir, then he would’ve never remarried and had sons. He would’ve helped Rha*nyra gain allies, and teach her how to rule. But he didn’t. He just named her heir and that’s it.
Which is why Vis*rys still wanting Rha*nyra to be his successor despite having Aegon is stupid, because the law dictates that Aegon is first in line. And Vis*rys never changed the laws of succession, he only wanted his daughter to be the exception.
Now if this were Dorne, where absolute primogeniture is practiced, then Rha*nyra would most certainly be the uncontested heir. But since she’s not Dornish, Rha*nyra’s claim to the IT is weaker than Aegon’s. And it only gets weaker once Vis*rys sires two more sons following Aegon.
With the births of Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron, Rha*nyra is pushed even further down the line of succession. And when Aegon has two legitimate sons of his own (Jaehaerys and Maelor), she’s pushed even further down the line.
It’s why Da*mon groomed and married her: so he would get closer to the throne. But even with their claims combined, and despite the fact that they have Aegon III and Viserys II, Aegon’s claim is still strong.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is what the succession should look like:
Aegon II—>Jaehaerys—>Maelor—>Aemond—>Daeron—>Rha*nyra—>Aegon III—>Viserys II—>Helaena—>Jaehaera—>Da*mon
Fans can scream about how Rha*nyra and the Blacks had more houses supporting them during the Dance (which realistically doesn’t make a lick of sense), but it doesn’t change the fact that Aegon has always had the stronger claim.
You can say that she was usurped all you want, but it doesn’t mean that Aegon didn’t have a claim to the throne. If anything, he had the strongest claim of them all.
And not only that, but Aegon had legitimate sons as his heirs, unlike Rha*nyra, who was trying to pass off her illegitimate bastard sons as her heirs, despite it being very illegal.
People say that Jace, Luke, and Joff were fighting for their claims when… they literally had no claims to begin with. They’re illegitimate bastards who shouldn’t be anywhere near the line of succession. Just because they have the last name Velaryon and Laenor “accepted” them, doesn’t suddenly make them legitimate.
That’s like that saying that because Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen had the last name Baratheon, it suddenly means they were Robert’s trueborn children, when we know they weren’t.
All in all, Vis*rys was the real reason for the Dance happening, all because he couldn’t make up his mind about the succession and was politically inept. And no, him marrying Laena wouldn’t have stopped the Dance from happening because there still would’ve been a chance that Laena birthed a son (or sons).

rhaenys really didn't give a shit that three boys will be in danger as long as driftmark would go to her / then baela didn't she? at least until viserys showed up so she changed her mind because;
1. she thought viserys gonna support rhaenyra anyway even if she'd say that corlys wanted driftmark to go to baela
2. if it was otto's decision she would be AGAIN dismissed bc she's a woman and driftmark would go to vaemond and then his sons instead of baela and with rhaenyra's offer at least rhaena would be lady of driftmark and then her line would rule for next years
3. even if she would won there's still would be daemyra against her and later rhaenyra on the throne, so people would still spread the rumours but ignore it officially so velaryon boys would still matter in the line of succesion, daemon and nyra would marry baela to luke so the driftmark would go with velaryon name thanks to luke anyway (in the matter of marriage it was daemyra's decision after all and twins were targaryen by name)
4. corlys would be pissed for ignoring his choice and also for endangering jace, luke and joffrey and there was still chance for him to come back
I'd give her points for announcing officially that jace and luke are betrohed to dragon twins so rhaenyra wouldn't back off but otherwise rhaenys was bitch right there. she does not have a prove that nyra killed laenor, the truth is it could all just daemon who after losing laena could see this as opportunity to be with rhaenyra
as far as rhaenys knows nyra was keeping laenor's secret and gave him sons he took as his own. if that was such big of a problem and rhaenyra was really so ruthless she'd killed him long time ago, before jace and then marry harwin (which now viserys would more likely agree to it, especially that harwin's status was better since his father was officially the hand and also nyra kept her part of a deal with marrying laenor and before that viserys let her choose her spouse). all rhaenys knows that laenor loved those three boys, corlys loves them and so the twins and she has a problem bc they're not directly laenor's blood. bitch. what those three boys did to you exactly to throw them under the bus dragon
rhaenys in books is so much better character, i don't like how creators made her inconsistent in the show (and looking at trailer, they keep going with that), how she switches and changes her mind to please anyone, mostly her husband, her killing people for badass moment but stopping at killing greens... if it was for kinslaying, she would take that to assure safety of baela and rhaena at very least, but it just wasn't her war to start and now we have consequences, while it was her in books who said to use dragons against greens. GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK RHAENYS

Could I request Rhaenyra x Velaryon!reader in a kinda soulmate au where their dragons become a mated pair, which is a sign from the (Valyrian) gods that their riders are meant to be together, and Nyra and reader’s bonds with their dragons end up transferring to include each other, so they can feel each other’s emotions and pain, just like with their dragons, and it draws them together? Maybe some smut?
Hand in hand, wing by wing
Heyy sorry this is late lol. I’ve had no motivation. Anyway you didnt specify gender so i did it as GN as i could but reader wears a dress one time. Hope you like it!
masterlist
Word of your dragons’ mating was brought to you no longer than a day ago. Some guards spotted Aegarax - your grown dragon soaring the skies alongside Syrax. 
Your family has recently journeyed to King’s Landing. Your mother - the king’s cousin has offered your hand to the king and you had been proposed the match by the king himself in the royal gardens. You were not delighted with this revelation yet still performed as a flawless heir to Driftmark should. 
Now it was days later and the proposal seemed to have been forgotten. Thankfully. These days you spent most of your time with the crown princess Rhaenyra. You had always been suitable for each other. Since you were just babes you played and shared toys. Sometimes even beds after playdates.
“Ehm ehm.” Your thoughts were interrupted by none other. 
“Princess Rhaenyra.” You bowed your head in mock respect. 
In turn she rolled her eyes and linked her arm around your elbow.
“Did you hear it?” She inquired cheerfully. “Our dragons are rumored to be mated.” She raised her eyebrows with mischief evident on her face.
“Really? I had no idea.” You pretended to not know. Playing with her emotions was far too much fun. The princess could never hide her true feelings. She frowned and then lit up.
“No matter, now you know.” You continued walking the halls of the red keep. Initially you were headed for the kitchens in hopes of stealing a lemon cake or two. But the princess was headed elsewhere, which meant you would follow her.
“Let us go for a ride no?” She smiled and quickened her pace. Once outside calling for a carriage. 
You both stared out of the windows of the carriage looking at the common folk and whispering gossip about the royal court men and women. You never laughed with anyone as much as you did with the princess. 
The carriage stopped as you arrived at the Dragonpit. You took the princess’s hand as you climbed out of the carriage and headed for your dragons. They were readied for flight in no time.
Your dragon was much bigger than Rhaenyra’s easily being able to carry up to three riders. But you had to admit that Syrax carried a queenly attitude. The two dragons snuggled their noses and sniffed around each other. Rhaenyra laughed at them and then directed her gaze to you. You smirked at the heart shaped piece of armor on Syrax’s chest and took to flight. 
The weight of the wings cut through the stuffy air and soon you were above the city soaring torwards the clouds. Your white hair whipped in the currents of air. Soon Rhaenyra emerged beside you.
“Isn’t this far better?” She yelled so you could hear her.
“Undeniably princess!” You loved being free like this. Unchained, soaring far away from the problems of the little men beneath you. 
Suddenly Rhaenyra led Syrax closer to you and bumped her wing across Aegarax’s. 
“Hey!” You startled. “What was that for?”
“Because you didn’t tell me my father proposed a wedlock between you two!”
You sighed as you stared across her face, studying her expression. Was she angry? Or maybe she was hurt you didn’t tell her?
“I didn’t want to burden you with something that might not even happen! He hasn’t spoken to me since.”
“You still could’ve told me. Anyway I do not think this marriage agreeable. You two are not fit for each other! I would be a much better match don’t you think? “Her grin was now as wide as her face and you could not help laughing.
She watched as your laughter died out. Then she asked again. “Don’t you think so?” 
You stared at her in confusion. Then you thought about it. It was true that an heir to Driftmark and the crown Princess of the realm would make a strong political match. But somehow you didn’t think this was entirely out of political reasons. 
You’ve avoided your own feelings for the princess for too long to know what they were. Always blaming it on being young. But what were your feelings on this matter?
“I believe we would make a strong match Rhae!” You grinned at her. She looked regal and beautiful yet disheveled with her blonde hair pulled into a loose braid.
And you could never forget how she smiled that day.
Weeks later the king announced that he sould wed Alicent the hand’s daughter. And a rock fell from your chest. 
Rhaenyra took this news dreadfully. She avoided Alicent and her father. Now you were her only ally in the world. 
You became more intrigued by your Aegarax’s relationship with Syrax. He circled around her at most times and they were reported to rarely be seen apart. When attempted to separate the two would turn agressive and protective. 
You yourself have started experiencing certain sudden changes in mood. These changes felt hazy like a dream. Like they were not your own.
You shook these thought off and focused.
You were adorned by a blue gown. Today was the official dinner to celebrate the proposal of the king. Your parents were a bit offended and kept muttering about their child being far more beautiful and wiser than Alicent. You just threw them sharp looks.
As you were headed to the royal hall for the banquet you noticed Rhaenyra standing in the shadows of the hall. 
“What are you doing?” She just looked at you, grabbed your hand and started leading you the other way far from the royal hall.
“Come with me. I don’t want to spend tonight with those hypocrites.”
“Alright fine, you could’ve just asked me no need to sweep me away.”
She shot you a look and continued leading you to her chambers. Once inside she finally relaxed and locked the door. 
She walked towards the balcony. And stood silently watching the city candle lights being lit one by one as the sun set over the horizon.
“Rhae?” You whispered.
“How could he do this?” She sniffled. “And then expect me to celebrate him?”
You walked closer and put your hands on her shoulders, placing your head upon one. 
“People are strange. Your father needs a supportive wife. Or he will fail. Maybe he sees that in Alicent. I’m sorry either way but this doesn’t have to mean an end of your friendship.”
You spun her around to face you. 
Her eyes glimmered with tears daring not to spill over. Then she spoke.
“You know what the people whisper?”
“I don’t concern myself with the opinions of sheep.” You smiled. “Neither should you.”
“In old Valyria it was believed that when two dragons mate, their riders are destined to each other. Syrax has laid eggs.” She stared into your eyes unwavering.
Your breath was stuck in your throat. Did she mean you and her were…?
Your faces closed in closer and closer. You could feel her breath on you lips as your eyes closed slowly. First she kissed the corner of your mouth. Then your left cheek.
Your hands snaked around her waist hugging her tightly. Her kisses trailed all over your face and neck. You could bear it no more. You grabbed her face and kissed her lips. Stumbling you pushed her onto the stone wall on the balcony.
A light breeze flowed through your clothes. She had worn a simple light dress and her body was now shivering with lust. 
You took her with you onto the ground and kissed every inch of her. She flipped both of you and started running her hands around your body. Caressing the curves and sharp edges.
Her hands worked on your clothes. Until your top half was bare to her. And the you unclothed her. Both of you couldn’t speak. You were too lost in this little world of yours’. Harsh breaths echoed from the walls.
She pinched your nipples between your teeth and you gasped in fresh air. Your throat was dry and you loved her so much. 
You loved her.
Like the wind. Like the sea. You loved her like a huriccane and you would not let her go.
So you told her. “I love you my princess.” 
She sighed contently as your fingers reached her opening. All those years of longing and silent loving gushed out.
“I love you too.” She smiled feverishly. Her face was red and contrasted again her pale hair. 
She took your hands and joined them with hers. 
“The Gods have blessed us. Let us not waste time.” Then she leaned down and caught your lips once more.

out of all of viserys’ kids (daeron/nyra included) on a night out, who’s unconscious on the bar, who’s dancing on the tables, who’s gone to hook up with the bartender, who’s singing bad karaoke and who’s the designated driver?
(and why is the last one aemond?)
helaena is dancing on the tables like the free queen she is. she's either dead sober or on lsd but either way she's thriving.
aegon swore up and down he could out-drink a random stranger and folded after like two drinks. he's passed out on the table. the stranger was cregan stark. northmen are made of stronger stuff.
rhaenyra is in the back room hooking up with the bartender. the bartender is harwin and her opening move was to call him a whore (he was very much into it).
daeron is singing karaoke very badly. despite this there is a throng of admirers around him who genuinely believe he's the next beyoncé.
aemond didn't even want to come. his bedtime was three hours ago and he made it everyone's problem on the way there.
but here he is, trying to get helaena off the tables before she falls and breaks her leg. waking aegon up and getting him a trash bin before he vomits on the floor and gets them kicked out. texting rhaenyra a reminder to use protection. videotaping daeron for future blackmail purposes.
aemond later somehow ends up behind the bar covering for harwin the bartender. aegon resurrects from the dead for just long enough to take a video of him yelling at a drunk middle-aged lady.
the video goes viral on twitter.
