Hello! Do you write for Rhaegar Targaryen as well? If you do please 💖 and 💎. If not fell free to ignore it. Sorry if it's troublesome😅 Your blog is amazing and I absolutely love everything you write! Thank you for staying with us! Have a nice day!

wow, I wasn’t expecting Rhaegar! I’ll give him a try for these lil headcanons ahaha. Thank you for the kind words!! 💞

💎Marriage HC

In a world where Rhaegar was allowed to choose his own bride, he would be nothing short of devoted. He’s a hopeless romantic at heart, so the courtship was full of poems, songs and secret meetings - and none of that stopped once you married.

He’s always preferred sentimental gifts to material ones - he’ll give you a crown of your favorite flower one day, or think up a new song and sing it to you from outside your window. Some might consider his obvious love foolish, but your dragon prince has never cared what others thought.

There are times when his daydreaming and idealism gets the best of him, and you have to remind him of his duties to the realm. Often members of the small council have quietly asked you to talk sense into Rhaegar, or approached you about a problem directly, especially once you’ve proven yourself as capable.

He’s beloved by the smallfolk, and that love will extend to you, as you both make a handsome pair. If you do similar things to help them, like handing out food and talking with them, your reputation will only grow. Many times the Kingsguard has scolded you and Rhaegar for running off to the steps of the Great Sept to speak with the people.

He understands when his duties take him away from you, but he wishes they wouldn’t. He prefers you two to appear as a pair, given how powerful and popular your union is. Also, he’s a bit needy.

He’s prone to bouts of distraction and melancholy. Sometimes he’ll focus singularly on a subject or cause, and other times he falls into a gloomy mood and isn’t interested in politics. You can’t always pull him out of these moods and have to leave him to his own devices, but eventually he comes back.

There’s a specific  part of you that he’s charmed by - your laugh, or the unusual color of your eyes, or several birthmarks, or a scar. You aren’t sure why he’s fascinated by this thing, but he never fails to mention it in the little private poems and songs he writes for you.

💖 Pregnancy HC

Oh jeez, if you thought the poems and songs were a bit much before…

He’s happy, of course, and not just because this is expected from the both of you. Rhaegar isn’t the sort to be overly protective, even when you’re showing, unless it’s a hard pregnancy and you need the extra support. He doesn’t want to hover and make you feel helpless.

Still, you are carrying the heir to the throne, so he’ll suggest you take it easy and rest as opposed to ordering. To keep you from being bored, especially in the later months, he’ll sit by you and read, play a song, play a game - whatever keeps you amused. He’ll never turn down time with you, after all (and it beats the boring council meetings).

There’s essentially a list of expected Targaryen names, but Rhaegar would understand if you wanted something different. He’d absolutely be the type to go against tradition and go with whatever you wanted, especially if it had a special meaning to you.

He’d be happy with a boy or girl, regardless if the realm wants a son. He just wants you and the child to be healthy.

If you were having a hard pregnancy, Rhaegar would send for different teas and foods from Essos. Maybe something there would help you better than the maester’s medicine, not that he doesn’t believe in their skill, he just wants to try something new to see if it works. He really can’t stand sitting by while you’re suffering.

At the end of the day, what do you want? A specific drink, a specific food? Cuddles, time alone, something new to read, a play to watch or a bard to listen to? You’re getting it. Even if you weren’t the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, if you both were just common folk, Rhaegar would do whatever he could to comfort you.
