you are absolutely right about Daera supporting Rhaenyra’s interest in sword fighting.
I mean, who is going to tell the daughter of Alyssa Targaryen that her own daughter cannot do what her grandmother did?
If Rhaenyra wants to learn how to wield a sword, Daera will rope a King’s Guard into teaching her the basics and if her interest continues, more. Her Nyra is just similar to Alyssa in that regard (that certainly makes Vizzy come around).
And if Daera gets to ogle a handsome knight under the pretense of watching over her daughter during training, where’s the harm in it?

To add on to my constantly growing list of Rhaenicent AUs:
A Tristan and Isolde AU is absolutely thriving in my head. I’ve been trying to find a good Arthurian AU for them for weeks and I’ve finally found it. It’s all coming together. Rhaenyra and Alicent have just the right amount of absolute unhingedness to match Tristan and Isolde’s vibes.
Rhaenyra and Alicent are still childhood friends but here Alicent was sent back to Oldtown by Otto after her mother’s death. I don’t know if it’s ever made clear when her mom died so I’m gonna put it at when Alicent was around like 10 or so for this AU, so it’s been a few years. Otto still manages to convince Viserys to marry Alicent and Rhaenyra asks to be the one to escort her to King’s Landing. They reunite and fall in love on the road (because Alicent still refuses to ride a dragon for now). Cue affair and antics of trying to hide said affair.
Alicent is Isolde and Rhaenyra Tristan obviously. And Viserys is Mark. I might make Criston Palamedes. The question is who should be Dinadan. Laenor maybe? Also I’ll be giving them a much less tragic ending… probably.
