Hey hope you're doing well<3

Could you please write Jaehaerys' funeral ( i know i'm horrible 🥲) where his body will be burned like Targaryen rituals? Everyone is waiting for Helaena to say dracarys but she stands still so Aegon steps up and says it

I first have to tell you that this is insane brain twinning because because I have written this exact scenario in a reddit comment before, I gasped when I saw your ask!! wish I had a screenshot omg. Also writing this made me super emotional - I hope this heavy dosage of angst will hit well! —

The boy is laid in an unlit pyre, pale body surrounded by blue flowers that are more alive than him.

Forget-me-nots, are what those gentle blue blossoms are called. Helaena is as pale as the corpse she has been overwatching, the crowd surrounding the area just an illusion to a soul already departed, but in her state she still managed to yell her son deserved to have his favorite flowers around him.

Aegon didn’t know those were his son’s favorite flowers. They are unremarkable in color, dainty in shape; perhaps if he had known before, he would’ve been able to appreciate them some, but seeing them now, this way, makes him want to order every single one in the Seven Kingdoms to be plucked out of the ground.

He dares not voice that order aloud. The ratcatchers dying didn’t clear out the shame, and tearing at flowers will not do so either. The weight of the boy would have been so light to carry in his arms, but now it is heavier than he could ever lift. The guilt made certain of it. And yet his own wife feels it a tenfold, he knows.

Helaena is by his side, but only Dreamfyre croaks and cries beside him; only Sunfyre answers to her. Mother is holding onto Maelor, conveniently far enough apart from them, enough so her daughter wouldn’t break into tears. Jaehaera found herself in the hands of a grandsire, face deep in his shirt, unable to look towards the pyre. He almost wishes he had any option to do the same, to try and forget — but no, there is no place for it, not anymore.

They have a septon read some blessings, before the boy is to be cremated. It’s a farce of a thing, to have anyone believe that the Seven who are One would bless his son in any way when the Crone already led his murderers to him, when the Mother did nothing when his head was sliced off. He almost wishes the septon was the one to be burned instead. But a sacrifice of a raggedy old man won’t bring a lively boy back.

When the man of the Faith finishes, Targaryen blood is due to say the final word, only they able to make the dragons lay one’s soul to rest. Helaena has switched out of that darned, bloody dress to say it; she bathed and combed her hair and wore her crown for this alone. He keeps himself quiet as he waits for her to say it. Aemond and Daeron are glaring daggers at anyone who dare show even the slightest impatience. Dreamfyre approaches, craning her neck above them. He thinks Helaena has steeled herself finally, and he sees her mouth move open, but it opens to no sound, and when it does give one, it is only a sob. Her shoulders turn as if to cave into themselves and he has to hold her arm to keep her still. She’ll drown them all with her tears before she burns the last remnant of their son.

She has been made to make that call once, already. To say what a mother should never say, and now she must say goodbye to a boy who should’ve been the one to see her off, many many years from now. She opens her mouth, but she cannot speak; Aegon doesn’t know if she’ll ever trust her own words again.

She looks to him when he touches her, the puffy bloodshot eyes being daggers of their own. Daggers, swords, scorpion bolts and all — and all they do is ask for mercy. I can’t, they say.

His eyes are pooling with tears as well, and Aegon swallows his emotions one by one. I can’t, either, he wants to say, it is my fault, his mind supplies. But then the silence around them is unbearable, and the crick in his neck reminds him of the crown they lost the boy for. Sunfyre approaches closer, without him saying a word, and he knows his choice is gone. This I must do.

His lip trembles in contempt. For who? The whole world perhaps, he thinks for a moment. This whole world that still breathes when he never had any air to begin with. May be only for myself.

Aegon looks at the boy, one last time. To remember the face that has been sown back to the body, the cheeks that he has only ever pinched for moments brief, the brows that have once rose so high when he asked his questions, the lips that made his pouts just like his, full but sullen. But he at least knew how to make them into a bright smile, too.

“Dracarys.”

The golden rays made of fire envelop the pyre whole; Helaena’s face comes to hide against his arm, but Aegon is unable to look away. The blue flowers are scorched into ash, mixing with his remains. Forget-me-nots.

He won’t forget. Aegon knows his son will haunt him until he meets him once more, and he hopes he does. He hopes he chases after him the same way he used to chase him down the halls of the Keep, unrelenting and determined to remind him what he is supposed to be.

I’ll listen, this time. The father you’ll meet next would be one that avenged you, Jaehaerys.

Ok another little snippet what if Aemond gets married to Floris before episode eight and she goes into labor during the dinner. It's all chaotic and everything yet Aegon takes the children down to the dragon pit as they get to choose their cousin's egg. But Dreamfyre has yet to lay a clutch although the dragon keepers say she is in the process of nesting. Yet as they're about to leave Morghul escapes the pit which prompts a chase of the little black dragon with Jaehaera and Jaehaerys ending up near Vhagar's nesting spot. Aegon holds Maelor back from rushing forward knowing the great dragon won't hurt the twins with Sunfyre and Morghul there.

"Papa, look what we found." Jaehaerys yells out as they rush towards him sharing the hold of an egg between the two of them.

Aegon and Helaena hcs that I have about them. A modern Helaegon take of the thoughts that won’t leave my head!

- They act like twins a lot the time and will even finish each others sentences some times. Aegon is known to just do what she does. Which Includes eating the food that she eats, watching what she watches, and even taking part in the same hobbies.

- Alicent always makes sure that he has things of his tho. So that he’s not so reliant on Helaena.

- Helaena loves to hold his hand. Like all the time. They could just be sitting at the table, on a walk, shopping, and she would be seen holding his hand.

- When Aegon got super into sports to help with his drinking habits, she would always come to his games and even sometimes his practices to cheer him on.

- He thinks it’s the hottest thing ever and he tells her that every day.

- He’s vocal about how he feels about her and what he wants… sometimes. Sometimes tho, he’ll pout and beg for attention because he’s not super sure on how to ask for it.

- They take care of Daeron like he’s their first baby (he is). They make sure he’s well fed, doing well in school and sports, has good friends, and all of that. Daeron literally has our parents (Alicent, Criston, Aegon, and Helaena).

- When they found out that Helaena was pregnant, they were weirdly calm about it. Alicent was freaking out and was so nervous for them, but they are just like “so yeah we’re gonna be parents”

- They always make sure that, especially when they got married and had kids, that Daeron and Aemond were very present in their lives. They always had them over at their house, always were having dinner with them, shopping, going to sporting events, etc. Helaegon love family time.

- They have a ton of animals ranging from dogs all the way to pet bugs that Helaena has found.

- They both like to stay up late, make late night snacks, and watch a really trashy show together once the kids are asleep. When Maelor was born, he was so little that he would just sit between them and sleep while they watched the show.

@vclyrias asked:

Hi Butterfly! I just wondered if you know if they changed Helaena’s character for HOTD? I haven’t read Fire and Blood but in TWOIAF she is described as a pleasant and happy girl, and in the show so far she is very serious and gloomy. Do you have any thoughts? 🦋

F&B's description of Helaena isn't that much different from TWOIAF — it only says she was plumper and not as strikingly beautiful as most Targaryens. She was pleasant and happy as a 13-year-old at her marriage (sigh grrm) to her brother Aegon, and gave birth to twins (Jaehaerys and Jaehaera) a year later, and to another boy (Maelor) 4 years after that.

However, by the time of Viserys's death she seemed somewhat displeased with Aegon to the point of sarcasm — when they came to her rooms to tell him his father died and he was king, Aegon wasn't there, and she was like, "Aegon's not in my bed, you can check under the blankets to make sure." As Aegon was actually (depending on the source) either in his mistress's bed, or in a skeevy den in Flea Bottom (featuring bloodsport of feral children) with an extremely underage prostitute, you can see why the years of marriage to him might try her patience.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot else about Helaena during the pre-war period. At the reconciliation banquet (that failed miserably), there's no mention that she minded that Jace asked her to dance, but Aegon was offended and things nearly came to blows. She was apparently close to her mother and close to her father and took her kids to visit them every day. Dreamfyre, her dragon, is described as "beloved". After the Green and Black coronations but before the war actually started, Helaena was in favor of a parley (along with her mother) instead of immediate outright war. Pretty basic until the war began, until "a son for a son", after which she became suicidally depressed. 😭

However, Helaena's daughter Jaehaera is described with terms that seem to be implying (by the author, not the in-world writer who doesn't have the knowledge or vocabulary) she was on the autism spectrum, some sort of neurodiversity — that is, lack of emotion and affect from infancy. It seems likely that HOTD is borrowing from Jaehaera for their version of Helaena, giving her some behaviors that a lot of neurodiverse fans are identifying with. Note that they've also made her a dreamer, like they also did with Viserys; there's no textual basis for either of them to be so, but the skeptic maester of record wouldn't know such details or likely believe in prophecies anyway. (Mind you there's also a popular epic fanfic where Helaena is a dreamer, but she's somewhat of a minor character and it's so au that it's almost certainly just a coincidence.)

Oh, also, here's an illustration from F&B (by Doug Wheatley) of Helaena and the kids visiting Viserys shortly before he died:

It's interesting, while the text says the twins listened attentively to the king's fantasy adventure tale while the 2-year-old Maelor played with a ring Viserys gave him, instead Wheatley chose to draw the boys enthralled by the story while Jaehaera ignores it, instead apparently fascinated by the ring. Makes me wonder if the text was changed last minute? Or if Wheatley read Jaehaera's earlier description and thought she'd be the one more into the ring than the story, and so picked it up when the baby dropped it? (But then the twins don't really look 6 and Maelor definitely doesn't look 2, plus it looks like Viserys has all his fingers, so I shouldn't be too picky.)

Either way, you can imagine the HOTD creators seeing this image and deciding that Jaehaera is how they'd like to characterize young Helaena. (Though with bugs instead of rings. 🐛🕷) We'll just have to wait for the next episodes to see how she's characterized as a young adult...

It was kinda silly and goofy for Aegon ii to name his first born son Jaehaerys and the second son Mae(l)or

Although I h8 it, think the naming of Jaehaerys was strategic and I understand its propaganda value - the appeal to authority and legitimacy by invoking the famed peaceful ruler of Westeros. I feel it was probably Alicent's idea. An Aegon, harking back to the mythical conqueror, followed by a Jaehaerys as heir, a very popular, if not the most popular king.

Maelor is an outlier (there is also the name Maegelle used after Maegor, sharing a prefix). Most likely George wanted an unrelated name and played around with some Valyrian suffixes and prefixes.

There’s something so maternal about Helaena sewing Jaehaerys’ funeral shroud. She’s keeping her son warm and comforted in the coldness that is death.

fever dream. (952 words, helaegon, no warnings)

summary: On a sunny day, Aegon feels like recovering. (Aegon spends a day with his family, and only finds fever dreams).

Mundane, sunny days are the most pivotal of times.

Aegon sits on a stone bench in the Keep’s garden. This is not his most favorite of places, for the morning sun often shines too brightly on tired eyes, but he has woken early and couldn’t bear the feel of sweat and overheat the coverings bestowed. He feels feverish when the nights catch up to mornings, and the feel of fever starts to manifest.

In these sorts of days, there’s the urge to recover. It comes and goes, a fleeting dream, but when it arrives he knows what the sun bids.

The maids surround the garden as if they are borders; he finds it rather constraining, but Helaena says it’s due with twins like theirs.

“Just watch,” she says softly, with the calming scent of honeyed tea coming from the cup in her hands. Aegon thinks her own tranquillity lingers in the air. Tension radiates from her easily on most days, her sensitivity on her sleeve and in a manner more upsetting than one might want to admit; the days where she’s in utter peace are as odd as they are comforting.

The maids are up at arms when Jaehaerys dives headfirst into the grass. A boy of four years with a flock of mothers that rush over to him in absolute attention and fright. He looks to his unmoving wife; he wonders if she feels any envy. As uninvolved as he may be in these matters at times, he can’t say there isn’t any irk within him when Aemond or Criston have father-like moments with the children. He swallows it, but it’s an odd feeling, getting left behind for someone better.

It doesn’t seem to be the case for her. Helaena keeps herself poised at her seat, sips on her beverage and grins. When Jaehaerys lifts himself up from the dirt, face covered with some soil, he does not cry; only stands expectant, looking at his sister.

“He likes to poke reactions out of her,” Helaena provides the information abruptly. “And he likes to attempt to make her smile, as some would say it is rather difficult to get her to.”

Jaehaera is often even-faced for a child of her age. His daughter is more dignified at four than he ever was throughout his two decades. She makes for a very poised, albeit shy princess; though not a very lively child. That is what most would say of her, at least. Aegon will admit she’s restrained in her interactions, but she smiles at him rather frequently. And what child isn’t shy of strangers? The entire court can shove that talk up their arse.

His daughter looks at her brother with the most refraining expression, lips pressed together with her cheeks pronounced. Not shy to try harder at reaching his goal, Jaehaerys fills his cheeks with air and smooshes them down, as if all the air erupted out. Didn’t I do that once? Regardless, the boy succeeds, and a grin makes an appearance on his sister.

The two children go on to play tag, their nervous maids tailing them to keep them in sight. Jaehaera is as good at disappearing as Aegon, it seems, and Jaehaerys uses every power granted to him to give a good chase for the adults around him. Sometimes they feel like him in a manner that hurts.

Helaena comes up from her seat beside him to look at them as they stray. Calm in her steps, she knows they’ll return. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and even as it falls, it will always roll back around the soil of the tree’s roots. Aegon comes up after her, standing beside her in the shade of the pavilion’s roof.

She turns to him then, when they end up only having greenery to look at, their children out of sight. There is a feeling of vague emptiness now that the area is clear of the twins, but laughter from afar is what he’s rather used to hearing.

“Aegon,” Helaena makes him look down at her. There’s an odd pause, as there is before any of her provocations, as uncommon as they can be. Her mop of silver locks falls to her back as the tip-toes to kiss him. Her lips press against his softly, and her hand comes to squeeze on his arm.

Her lips taste like sweet chamomile and tranquillity unknown, and he presses back into her kiss, as the sun threatens to uncover them from their shade. For moments few, he drinks in the heal of hope instead of the numbing of liquor, and grows unafraid to bask in the rays of this sunny day.

When Helaena breaks off the kiss, their noses brushing before finding their distance, she only says one more thing, with one hand touching his face. “Don’t look so sullen.”

It invokes a dry laugh, the upturn of his lips won over. How many times has he been called sullen? Plenty, likely. Well, the court can shove that wherever they’ve left to shove it. The voices of his children become louder as they return, and he keeps his grin on.

“Papa, Rys fell again!” Jaehaera announces as she returns, and her twin comes behind her, proud in his scratches and ominous small blot of dry blood by his nose.

“I won!” he counters his sister, unperturbed.

“Your two left feet serve you well, don’t they?” He says coming forward. Without a beat, Jaehaerys replies.

“Yes!”

Helaena chuckles, and Jaehaera prevents her brother from slamming purposefully into the steps of the pavilion, dragging him up to them by the hand instead. It feels like he’s recovering; but it also feels a fever dream.

As the night approaches the twins are running around the nursery creating havoc for their nursemaid which causes Maelor unable to fall asleep joining in their chaos. Tomorrow is their name day and they don't want to sleep as they are too excited.

Their nursemaid looks away for a minute to help Maelor get to the lavatory, with her back turned they escape the confines running about the holdfast. Looking for any hidden presents their parents/grandmother/uncles have hidden. They end up in their grandmother's chambers and are met with Ser Criston and Alicent in the midst of a conversation.

Alicent seeing her eldest grandchildren takes them into her arms and guides them to her table asking "why are the two of you not asleep, the name day fairy will not bless you if you are not asleep." She tells them with Ser Criston winking at her in remembrance of her doing this with her own children when they were younger.

"What's the name day fairy grandmother?" Jaehaerys asks as Alicent leads the two with Ser Criston following back to the nursery.

"The name day fairy is who makes sure that all little children get the gifts they really want." Alicent smiled down at him.

"How does the fairy know what we want nanna?" Jaehaera questions.

"The fairy has special little friends who tell them how children are behaving and what they want." Alicent answers her as Ser Criston opens the door to the nursery for the three of them.

"The fairy only comes to deliver the gifts to children when you're asleep my prince and princess." Ser Criston adds before he stands outside the door with the two guards at the nursery.

"Is that true grandmother?" Jaehaerys asks as Alicent tucks them both into their beds.

"It is unfortunately my little one but I know the name day fairy is on their way to see you yet only when you are both asleep." She smiles as she brushes the hair from Jaehaera's face before kissing her forehead. As she gets up from the floor between their beds seeing them both yawn. "Goodnight my little ones." She smiles at them.

"Goodnight nanna." They smile up at her before they lose themselves to their dreams. Alicent watches over them for a while before going to kiss Maelor's forehead then leaving the nursery.

Little bit of a long thought

"Lucerys Velaryon died with his dragon. This is undoubtedly correct. The prince was thirteen years of age. His body was never found. And with his death, the war of ravens and envoys and marriage pacts came to an end, and the war of fire and blood began in earnest."
