One day Alicent comes over, reader lets her in, and she can hear this loud like scream laughing in the other room, Amealia’s shrieks of joy and amusement and Aemond’s laughing, so loud and and so joyous and free, and reader says ‘oh sorry Aemond is playing with Amaelia in there’ like this is the most normal occurrence. And Alicent can’t believe that’s her son. That’s he being so silly and free. But this is Aemond with reader and especially Amaelia this is him everyday now
Hey there dear!! once again, thank you for your patience, when I don´t reply right away to an ask like this is because I know my silly brain will wanna write something longer, and this was the case! I ADORED THIS SO MUCH, THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS!! my heart
Tumblr media
As she steps through the threshold of her son's home, Alicent's big doe eyes widen even more, fixing her gaze on her daughter-in-law as her ears catch the shrieking noises and the boisterous sound of her granddaughter's laughter coming from another room.
The music of her Amaelia's delight is already familiar to Alicent. The little girl is a lively spirit, so different from how Alicent's own children used to be. So different from how Aemond has always been: quiet, brooding, reserved. An eternal wallflower.
This is why it's not the sound of Amaelia's laughter that freezes Alicent on the spot, but that of a man's: deep and breathy, straight from their chest, and so, so very warm.
Surely this isn't Aemond. It cannot be.
Not when it's not even noon yet, as Alicent's here to go out with Aemond's family for lunch.
She's never met anyone that's already this giddy in the early morning.
Is there another man interacting with her granddaughter!? does Alicent's daughter-in-law have another man in the house!?
This flash of judgment must have passed through Alicent's eyes without meaning to, for her daughter-in-law is quick to set her nerves at ease when she gestures to the other room, after taking Alicent's coat in hand.
"Sorry for the noise! Aemond is playing with Amaelia...it's one of those days where we struggle to get her dressed!" her daughter-in-law says with a playful chuckle as she leads Alicent towards the hall.
What greets her eyes - that had grown so tired around the corners, from having only witnessed grief and melancholy in her lifetime - is a sight that she's only ever seen in distant dreams and delusions of another life where her children didn't grow up to distance themselves from her.
Aemond doubles over the tiny frame of his daughter as he laughs, before picking her up, swinging her around up, up, up in the air before dropping her onto her bed and making her bounce, before he tackles her and tickles her until Amaelia's crying, "no more, no more!!!!"
But she exclaims with a bright, toothy grin and eyes that sparkle with happiness, as she turns to see her dad, and flings her arms so he can pick her up and do that again.
Aemond picks her in his arms and sways her before filling her with a series of loving kisses to her tummy and cheeks that just make her laugh even more.
Alicent's long practiced refined smile doesn't convey the depth of her happiness in this moment. Her heart, a wilted rose, blooms once more, and breathes with joyous life at sight. She turns around, not wanting to intrude in such a happy moment.
She manages to lightly squeeze her daughter-in-law's shoulder, before gratefully accepting a cup of coffee to wait for Aemond to get Amaelia ready.
Alicent never mentions what she sees to her son - so unused to open-hearted conversations in her old age. But it's a memory that will always be treasured in her heart from now on.
It's a memory that makes every moment of pain she's endured, worth it.

What are modern!Aemond’s favorite things about being a parent and the things he struggles with the most?
Hello my darling!! again, so sorry for the late reply. But I kinda wanted to do something different than the usual headcanons or shorter replies I've been posting lately! I really wanted to challenge the mental block I've been feeling since last year and actually write a little something, so here ya go! hope you like this and hope this answers your question!! x
Tumblr media
Aemond hasn't slept a wink.
He's been perched on his reclining chair all night, right by Amaelia's beside. By a cruel prank whatever divine force is angry with him right now, Amaelia caught some sort of stomach bug, on the very same night that his wife had to leave for a work trip - for the first time since giving birth to Amaelia. And while this isn't, by any means, the first time his daughter has been ill, it's the first time he's had to take care of her on his own.
He's watching like a gargoyle, with his eye fixed on Amaelia's breathing, carefully monitoring her temperature every five minutes, like clockwork. He frets about waking her every time his trembling hand rests on her forehead, but, he has to make sure. And like the royal guards of the bedtime stories he reads to her, he's standing by with Tylenol and a glass of water in case her temperature flares up, and a bin in case she throws up again - ready to combat whatever might decide to hurt her next.
This, he decides, has got to be the only thing he dreads about being a parent. If this were any other problem, like bullies in school, or a scraped knee, he could take care of it. He could be storming the principal's office in no time, or scare away the bullies with one of his infamous glares; a scraped tee only takes some mending and lots of hugs afterward - maybe an indulgent treat. But these sorts of illnesses he cannot see, cannot predict how bad they'll escalate, or if they're a symptom of something worse. This is killing him. And braving it alone is killing him.
He gazes at his baby with a forlorn twinkle in his eyes, missing his wife, missing the day before this, when Amaelia was being her bubbly self, jumping up and down in bed while her mother packed for the trip.
His baby.
Amaelia is like a living poem; as Aemond observes, his heart races as his eye travels along the many paths and landmarks of her face that represent the love his wife and him share. The more she grows, the less he can tell where he ends and his wife begins, as Amaelia blooms into her own. In this very moment though, he can pinpoint certain traces and echoes of him, in the shape of her pouty lips as she sleeps; and of his wife, in the way her long eyelashes are delicately cushioned against her chubby cheeks.
This is the best part, he muses to himself. Having participated in the creation of something truly magical, and watch, as time goes by, how that magical being keeps transforming, and surprising him with things about the world that he would've deemed mundane if Amaelia hadn't brushed her strokes of magic upon them. Like when Amaelia told him that in Germany, ladybugs are referred to "Mary Beetles", which is something that his sister Helaena must have told her, but it kick-started Amaelia's fascination over them, and now, whenever she spots a ladybug in their garden, a beautiful awestruck glow paints her face. And he's absolutely certain that he sees light, actual rays of sunlight radiating from her eyes when he cradles the bug in her tiny palms.
It's magic.
And by gods, he's gonna make sure he takes care of her little bud of magic, no matter how terrifying it gets, no matter the hardships and struggles.

Modern!aemond who gets embarrassed by any public displays of affection/hugs but doesn’t care that everyone stares when Amaelia jumps into his arms when he picks her up from school. Modern!aemond who isn’t very handy but still tries to make and put together everything that he can for Amaelia. Modern!aemond who has always been an ‘eats to live’ person but does research into nutrition for children as soon as reader finds out she’s pregnant and relishes so much making Amaelia’s food for her and him and reader eating with her whenever they can and it becoming some of his favorite family time. Modern!aemond who is a calm, rational person but still sleeps next to Amaelia’s crib whenever she has the sniffles. Modern!aemond who hated his eye patch and now laughs when Amaelia plays with it. Modern!aemond who could never be described as playful is now the silliest and goofiest man when just with Amaelia and reader. Modern!aemond who hates getting involved in any politics or squabbling and is thinking of joining the PTA. Modern!aemond who loves his people very hard.
(again, sorry this took me so long AAH!!!! but I really wanted to properly sit down to reply to this on the 'puter, because this is absolutely beautiful)
I'm suddenly imagining Aemond on that night when reader told him about being pregnant. That night he stayed up late scheduling doctor's appointments, reading articles, ordering parenting books online, saving nutritious recipes, and doing everything his analytical mind found an appropriate course of action. But some time, early in the morning when sleep still couldn't find him, he just laid there in bed staring at nothing, wondering about how much his life was going to change. And I think, no matter how much he reflected, he couldn't have foreseen the extent to which his personality was going to change when Amaelia arrived, judging by what he grew up seeing in terms of the treatment of his own parents, and the rest of his family towards each other. He didn't think he would be a detached parent, he swore to himself he wouldn't, but he also didn't imagine just how much he'd changed - how involved and utterly obsessed (in the best way), he'd be with his baby.
It even brings him a little bit closer to his partner, because suddenly, this stoic, hardened, solitary by nature man, became loving (in his own way). Not that he wasn't loving towards the reader, but, he's just always been very closed off by nature.
The moment Amaelia was placed in his arms, his hugs, and the way he touched the reader too, became softer, more open, more snug, and lingering, shown in public and not just in the safety and privacy of his home. He laughed for longer periods - in a way that completely brightened his face and made his eye twinkle. He became funnier - making silly voices when he reads to Amaelia, throwing jokes here and there, tickling her daughter when she least expects it. He became even more fiercely protective than he already was with the reader, always alert when they're out in public, extra attentive when Amaelia shows even the slightest symptoms of a flu or a stomach ache, always the first to show up to PTA meetings or when he's being called to the principal's office because Amaelia was bullied.
He's still Aemond. He's still brooding and serious, and hardened around the edges. Still stubborn and quiet, and hard to crack or read sometimes. But when soft, delicate lips touch his cheek before going to sleep at night; when tiny arms wrap around him seeking comfort; when a girly, bubbly laugh rings around his home, and when the first thing that greets him in the morning is a set of big eyes and shining silver hair, a new piece of his heart softens, more and more, every day.

Amaelia refusing to let Aemond leave the room for like the week after he comes back from his trip cause what if he goes again???? Also Amaelia with her dragon suitcase being so excited and proud to check into hotels with her dad and show off her super professional suitcase
Poor baby has been scarred for life! getting her out of her papa's arms is impossible, she's like a baby koala bear clinging to him 24/7! I was gonna say, only time's she's not clinging to him is when Aemond is showering but he compensates by getting in the bathtub with Amaelia when it's time for her nightly bath.
Also, this is the dragon suitcase in question:
Tumblr media
Imagine a goth/fancy looking Aemond all in leather, hand in hand with a little girl that's pulling this lmao

amaelia thinks it’s funny that people think her dad is scary, like that guy??? Who’s the safest place in the world, cuddles with her whenever she wants, plays dragon with her and honest to god almost giggles sometimes when he’s spinning her around the room? That guy?!?!? Er nope
Specially in kingerdargen, the kids give Amaelia a lot of shit because they think her dad is scary - honest to god they think he might be an assassin or a spy or simply just straight-up mean. Because when he picks up Amaelia from school, he always pulls up clad in black leather, all black everything, slick black car, they've never ever seen him smile. And add to that, the scar that cuts his eye.
And Amaelia is always like, ????????? cause what they don't see is that when they round up the school, Aemond picks her up and blows raspberries over her tummy, and smooches her face with all the kisses because he missed her so much; lovingly tucks her all safely inside her kiddie seat and asks all about her day as they drive back home. And when at home, and stripped of his leather jacket or pants, he wears the softest, comfiest sweaters and sweatpants - her dad always feels the warmest when he cuddles her and plays dragon with her.

Amaelia goes through a phase of making up dances all the time and then ‘performing’ them to reader and aemond. Except sometimes she gets shy and self conscious and nothing makes her feel more confident and comfortable than aemond joining in which is of course only ever for Amaelia and readers eyes and only to help her confidence
Ok but, Aemond and reader then signing up Amaelia for ballet lessons because they see how much she loves dancing 🥺
And Aemond of course picks her up after the ballet classes, and Amaelia is very excited to show him all the moves she learned and how they’re named — and she teaches Aemond. She’d be like:
‘So this is the grand plie, papa — do it!’ she takes him by the hand and makes him open up his legs and stand on his tip toes to squat, and she laughs as she sees him fumbling.
And later she has the most fun because she makes him catch and spin her around in the air (while Barbie’s Nutcracker is playing in the TV lmao)
This whole scene is for reader’s eyes only, of course 😅

‘Aemond picks her up and blows raspberries over her tummy’ SCREAMING this is so cute wth! He also does this when she’s on the verge of a tantrum it has a 99.9% success rate to make her giggly and happy. Reader buys Amaelia a little leather jacket as a surprise to her and Aemond and they’re both so excited and happy for her to match him she gets an extra long story and the white haired, leather jacket wearing princess and her dragons that night
Amaelia being all grumpy and Aemond just looking at her like ‘ :3 ‘ before pulling her up in his arms and attacking her tummy with kisses and blowing raspberries on it ahhh 😭
ALSO the thing about the mini leather jacket’s got me thinking about Amaelia when she’s older and she’s slowly adopting Aemond’s style as hers as well. Leather jackets start making their appearance more and more until like, 19 - 20something Amaelia who is studying old pictures of her papa to try to put together similar outfits. AND DEFINITELY DON’T THINK ABOUT Amaelia STEALING some old clothes from Aemond to wear herself.
And I love this for her because I hc that she’s very bubbly as a kid, but grows into a very shy adult, so shy Amaelia looking like she’s come out of the Blade movies? Iconic

Amaelia packs her own suitcase because she knows what she needs which turns out to just be toys, books and her dragon slippers
reader: honey what are you going to wear
amaelia: 😯
Aemond rocks up at the hotel in his leather really feeling himself and how cool he looks and Amaelia rocks up with her dragon suitcase and tie on wings knowing she looks as cool as her dad 😂
Reader: honey you have to pack clothes, you’re gonna have to leave some toys behind.
Aemond: it’s okay, I’ll pack her a second suitcase
Reader: for a 3 day trip!!?
Aemond: 👁️🔷
Reader: who’s gonna carry it around!?
Aemond: me, tf 🤨
Reader: they’ll charge you extra for the amount of luggage
Aemond: I’ll pay
Reader: 🤨
Aemond: 🤨
Amaelia: 😎
And to make matters worse, Aemond got Amaelia this for the hotel pool, which comes in a big ass box that they’ll also have to carry

Do you have any Christmas headcanon’s for the Amaelia verse
Idk why but I honestly hadn't thought about it until you asked!! I think I just don't really think about Christmas in general because I never have a good time during the holidays. So this might be super express headcanons, but:
Since Amaelia started dancing ballet, it becomes a tradition that Aemond will take her to the theater to see a production of The Nutcracker every year.
In fact, I think Amaelia prefers to listen to the music of The Nutcracker while decorating the house, rather than Christmas carols.
However, if a Christmas carol gets stuck in her head, she'll be singing it ALL DAY, 24/7 annoying EVERYONE in the vicinity. Even Aemond, who's rarely ever annoyed at anything his daughter does. It becomes even more annoying when uncle Aegon joins her singing.
On the subject of decorating, she absolutely adores that the ornaments of the trees will be somehow linked to The Nutcracker, and her favorite ornament is a pink, glass ballerina that Aemond specifically had made for her. She hangs it right at the very center of the tree. And when she's playing around the Christmas tree, she mostly imagines stories around her ballerina.
She gets a little overwhelmed if the whole family is present at Christmas dinner (counting Rhaenyra's side of the family as she isn't the fondest of them) so weirdly enough, she'll stick to Aegon the whole time. He's her favorite uncle, and his laidback attitude just amuses her and makes her feel more at ease. You'd think she'd be glued at the hip to Aemond, but, his tension in those situations easily transfers to her and it doesn't help.
Aegon will also see that as his opening to evade the rest and just play around the Christmas tree with her.
She also plays around with his cousins, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera!
Her favorite time to spend Christmas though, is with mom and dad and the dogs, all cuddled up watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate.
Her favorite movie would be Barbie's version of The Nutcracker.
And also she goes a little crazy with her list for Santa Claus and asks for way too many things, and Aemond wants to BUY THEM ALL, SPOIL HIS KID to the max.
But reader is always the voice of reason and reigns him back. They don't get everything from the Christmas list, but make it up by leaving along little notes that help keep up the magic that Santa exists.
Notes with things like, "I'm a little old and X toy you wanted was too heavy for me and the reindeer, but! one of my elves told me that you would prefer this instead!" / "I hope you enjoy your presents even if we couldn't get through the whole list, but! here's a special treat that my elves baked just for you!"
Also, Aemond and reader have never been the kind to take those fancy couple's Christmas pictures in a studio and everything, but since Amaelia was born, they started doing it to keep a lovely record of how Amaelia grows up each year! And honestly I don't think they'd even go to a studio to take them, since reader is a filmmaker in this au.
The reader would set the studio in their home to take the pictures! and I'm laughing to myself thinking that they'd get Aegon to dress up as Santa for Amaelia's picture lmao!

I can’t stop giving myself the angst by thinking of Amaelia one day during a particularly bad nerve pain episode getting frustrated and upset that Aemond can’t play with her. And she’s a chill kid but she’s still a kid and doesn’t really know how to process and express these emotions and so ends up getting mad with Aemond and then he’s upset and she’s upset and readers upset
“everyone’s upset” oh god YES, THE ANGST, The whole family stuck in a mood!
I was thinking in what specific situation this could happen. Because for sure, reader is always there with Amaelia to ease her when Aemond is M.I.A, and I think she grasps, even at a young age, that her dad is in pain, so she could never throw a tantrum over it.
So I was thinking, what if it happens when the family is set to go on a trip that had been planned and hyped up for a long while, a trip Amaelia was really really really looking forward to. Like, I don’t know, first time going to an amusement park like Disneyland or something. Or a trip somewhere abroad, a proper adventure! She has been daydreaming about it for months, counting down the days, everything packed for weeks in advanced in her favorite dragon suitcase.
The time comes, and everyone’s packed and ready to go, Amaelia has been struggling to sleep because she was so excited. And on the night of, Aemond begins to feel it. It’s probably the pent up stress from work and having to plan a trip. He feels like he can handle it. He braves it, gets up and gets ready, grabs his suitcase — and reader can tell there’s just no way he’s gonna handle the airplane. But he shrugs it off — which annoys the reader.
Aegon’s driving them, and halfway to the airport Aemond finally knows it really isn’t happening, he underestimated his pain. He’s telling Aegon to turn back and drive them home. Reader’s like “I told you so!” And Amaelia’s not understanding what’s happening initially. She’s getting antsy when she notices uncle Aegon is driving back home. Reader is busy calming Aemond down, so Amaelia is just like ??????
They get back and Amaelia is on the living room with Aegon entretaining her while reader tends to Aemond and she’s just getting so annoyed. And Aegon explains that dad is is ill, but her mind can’t process the worry for her dad + disappointment for not going on the trip she had been looking forward to for months + annoyance over her uncle right now
It’s a bad equation. So she just gets all crabby and fussy and Aegon is trying to make her laugh but she’s so annoyed and she wants her mom and dad, but she can’t have mom and dad right now, and she wants to go on her trip, not to go get ice cream with Aegon, so she’s just crying and trying to dodge Aegon’s kisses to her cheeks and it’s just a mess.

Every night when reader and Aemond get Amaelia to bed Aemond will either read her a book or sing her a lullaby. it’s her choice but she can’t have both. Amaelia never has any trouble making the choice because she knows that every time she’ll manage to convince her dad to give her a story after her song or a song after her story. When they’re at the hotel Amaelia gets several of each!
Oh my gosh I feel like Aemond would be too embarrassed to sing a lullaby to Amaelia if the reader is nearby for some reason. He's more comfortable listening to the reader sing to Amaelia, while he handles the bedtime story.
BUT when they're all alone, Amaelia is like, !!!! EEEK !!!!!! because she knows she has her dad all wrapped up around her little finger and will give her all the songs, and all the bedtime stories. She's easily lulled by her father's arms around her as she nuzzles her face to his warm chest, and by the deep timbre, yet soft cadence of Aemond's voice when he hums and sings, and the clarity and rhythm with which he tells her all about the different adventures of a silver-haired princess and her dragons.

Aemond and reader being adamant that Amaelia can wear what she wants to school, if she wants to wear a tutu and dragon wings she can and if the school wants to call them about it god help them (sorry for all the Aemond hc’s)
(Don’t apologize AT ALL, I LIVE FOR THESE!! Sorry sometimes it takes me a hot sec to reply but please please please don’t worry!)
Ok with this one I feel like Aemond would send Amaelia to private school where it’s most likely she’d have to wear uniform (idk if this is a thing in the U.S where uniform is mandatory, here where I live everyone wore it regardless of it being private or public school). And if she indeed has to wear a uniform then he’d be the type to make sure her uniform is pristine and that it sticks to the rules.
However, on days where the kids are allowed to wear their regular clothes (like on holidays or school parties and such I’m guessing — i’m going by personal experience here lol) then absolutely he lets Amaelia go bonkers. And he’s standing there where the parents are chaperoning and if he sees a kid making fun of Amaelia for it, you bet Aemond is ready to go beserk, but thankfully reader is there to smack some sense into him and reel him back 🤣

What is it like when, rare as it is, Aemond gets mad at Amaelia? Because I can imagine they both absolutely hate when he’s mad at her and find it really upsetting
Hey dear!! sorry for being late to reply, I've been overwhelmed by life because work AND studies started again so my brain is all over the place, plus, I was rotating my reply in my brain like a rotisserie chicken to imagine an Angry Aemond.
When Aemond gets mad it's the only time when Amaelia sees him as scary. He doesn't yell or scold her, but rather gives her "the look". He goes deadly silent and just stares at her with the most icy glare. And that's just with one eye. Imagine the damage he'd do with both of his eyes intact.
When Amaelia is scribbling all over the walls with her crayons, making a mess of her room, or playing with the food, he glares at her with an icy glare. He goes deathly silent - you could swear he takes the oxygen out of the room with that glare - and she immediately knows she's in trouble.
If the glare, doesn't work, he raises his voice slightly. We know Aemond (because of Ewan) actually speaks with a very soft, breathy voice. So when he raises it - it's not like he yells - but rather, it resounds, comes straight from his chest, and gets deeper.
On the first strike, he uses the glare.
Second strike, it's an "AMAELIA TARGARYEN" intoned with that deathly tone of voice.
And that's pretty much all it takes for Amaelia to behave. She never wants to push her luck to see what would happen on a third strike, cause the two are scary enough.

Reader takes that video when they all go to the store one night for a couple things. It’s winter so it’s dark and not even past Amaelia’s bedtime but she feels like a grown up on an adventure going out in the dark and is so excited. They wrap her up warm and set off, she’s smiling the whole time and on the way home she’s happily walking next to Aemond while reader sneaks a video. Both reader and Aemond can’t help but think that she’s the coolest person they’ve ever known
This is TOO ADORABLE!
She thinks she's going on like, a quest to the Artic because it's snowing and it's dark, even if it's only 5 pm and this was only supposed to be a quick trip to the corner store because the family ran out of sugar or butter or what have you, to make cookies and get cozied up! Which is all the more reason she thinks it's a quest! a mission!
Before going out, Aemond does like a checklist of her mission equipment to go out, kneeling down and going:
Wool socks?
And Amaelia replies, check!
thermal pants?
check!
scarf? check!
boots? check! mittens? check!
And she's walking back home all happy and giddy after a successful mission, probably even singing to herself some made-up song, and the reader can't help but record it.
She IS the coolest person in the entire world
