“My uncle is a challenge I welcome, if he dares face me”
I’m sorry…but doesn’t Daemon actually spend the majority of the Dance trying to find this coward?
The showrunners actually thought that they are making Aemond cool for saying this 😂 The kid doesn’t stand a chance.
Also, if memory serves me right, Daemon hardly commits any crimes during this entire war (aside from B&C), while Aemond goes batshit crazy and commits genocide in the Riverlands, murders the entire Strong family, among other things.
And despite all that, Daemon was still considered the most feared man in the Realm, not Aemond.

the black queen
Rage was all Rhaenyra felt. They had taken her daughter from her, and now they dared to send a peace envoy? No, there would be no peace or forgiveness. Only fire. Fire and blood.

here, too, I saw a nation of lost souls
When his spies in the Red Keep apprise him of Lady Alicent's late-night visits to his brother, Daemon knows conflict is on the horizon. When his niece comes flying in, the Rogue Prince believes the Flames must have blessed his holy purpose for why else would the Gods deliver him Rhaenyra on a silver platter?

amidst salt and smoke
It has been seven years since Bran the Broken was named Lord of the Six Kingdoms, and Tyrion Lannister has rebuilt the realm, bringing forth peace and change. However, tensions with the independent Kingdom of the North and the Lords Paramount endanger the prosperity created by the Lannister lord’s Handship, as does the Hand’s own instability—for he dreams of those he has lost. What is real and what is not?

i wake and feel the fell of dark, not day
Rhaenyra and Daemon’s rage would be whispered of for generations to come. As would the bloody trail of death and despair that followed in their wake.

a dragon's wroth
Much had been written about Daemon Targaryen – brother to a king, husband to a queen and father to yet another queen – and even more had been said of him, but none could deny the devotion to his blood.

up unto the overturned keel
tales of great kings and mighty warriors are whispered with revery amongst the smallfolk, but how do things change when a peaceful king makes way for a martial one?

“Daemon looked down and played with his fingers.All he wanted was to talk about swords. He had no wish for his mother to be brought up. Alas, there was scarcely a day in his life in which his father would not speak of his late mother, princess Alyssa, often comparing him to her. His grandmother would do the same almost as often as his father. It was not something he missed from her absence.
He did not like it when others spoke of her. Of Princess Alyssa.”

I finally posted the first chapter of my Tyrion-centric post-season 8 fanfic on AO3. The story is about Tyrion coming to terms with his faults and his hand in Daenerys' death. There are going to be many twists and turns along the way, and there are some surprising and not-so-surprising villains.
“It has been seven years since Bran the Broken was named Lord of the Six Kingdoms, and Tyrion Lannister has rebuilt the realm, bringing forth peace and change. However, tensions with the independent Kingdom of the North and the Lords Paramount endanger the prosperity created by the Lannister lord’s Handship, as does the Hand’s own instability—for he dreams of those he has lost. What is real and what is not?”
If you like what you read, take a detour to my Patreon, where you'll find six (!) more chapters, as well as several other stories set in the wondrous World of Westeros and A Song of Ice and Fire universes.
Take a special look if you enjoy Daemyra, are Team Black, Team Targ and Team Dany, or just really like the Mother of Dragons and the Halfman, and the Rogue Prince and the Realm's Delight.
For only $10 +VAT/month, you'll get access to everything. No tier structures, instead only one type of membership and thus one price for all (excl. minor differences in exchange rate).

Tyrion being unjustly accused of being a murderer (Joanna / Bran / Joffrey) his entire life on account of his disability, taken to trial and judged for it, and then deciding, you know what? might as well is a character arc that never fails to make me cry.
