BOOK DAENERYS MOMENTS || inspired by this meta

“My brother visited Pentos, Myr, Braavos, near all the Free Cities. The magisters and archons fed him wine and promises, but his soul was starved to death. A man cannot sup from the beggar’s bowl all his life and stay a man. I had my taste in Qarth, that was enough. I will not come to Pentos bowl in hand.” “Better to come a beggar than a slaver,” Arstan said. “There speaks one who has been neither.” Dany’s nostrils flared. “Do you know what it is like to be sold, squire? I do. My brother sold me to Khal Drogo for the promise of a golden crown. Well, Drogo crowned him in gold, though not as he had wished, and I . . . my sun-and-stars made a queen of me, but if he had been a different man, it might have been much otherwise. Do you think I have forgotten how it felt to be afraid?” Whitebeard bowed his head. “Your Grace, I did not mean to give offense.” “Only lies offend me, never honest counsel.” Dany patted Arstan’s spotted hand to reassure him. “I have a dragon’s temper, that’s all. You must not let it frighten you.”

— Daenerys II, A Storm of Swords

The Black Ones

The eyes of the woman he loved

You light the skies up above me a star so bright you blind me. Don't close your eyes, don't fade away, don't fade away. All the stars are coming out tonight. They're lighting up the sky tonight for you, for you. You saved my soul, don't leave me now. Don't leave me now. You and me we can ride on a star if you stay with me we can rule the World. All the stars are coming out tonight they're lighting up the sky tonight for you. For you!

Ashara Dayne introduces Barristan Selmy: The Injustice at House Targaryen

"Knighted under Jaehaerys Targaryen. It was Duncan Targaryen who gave it the nickname as you all know it....Barristan the Bold.

Prince Duncan

The deadliest guardsmen. He's a painter a force of nature. You feel called to greatness in the presence of his inspiration. Fear him when he sees what Stags and Lions do. A painter who only uses red. He's better, stronger and more powerful under the Targaryen banner. An artist he's the pure and real inspiration. Father of our daughter Alysanne and we love him with all our hearts. No army in the World can stop him from killing Robert Baratheon. The bold Star. He has balls of valyrian steel. His anger is tremendous.

My cake carver. He was always mine and i'm his. Best friend of Elia, Lyanna, Arthur, Rhaegar, Rhaella and Gerold Hightower. Only House Targaryen gives Independence since the Iron Throne was destroyed. King's Landing belongs to us we're the strongest and best side.

Gerold and Rhaella always loved each other and from the abyss screams Daemon Targaryen haha. Elia and Lyanna Targaryen married, adopted through Rhaella, she's Queen of King's Landing right now. Rhaella the mother of Lyanna and Elia. So much better than the three hypocritical, mad sons of Rickard Stark. Rickard Stark and his three mad sons rage in Winterfell haha haha haha.

The Tully and Ryswell bitches are raging haha. Fuck Ned Stark fuck that hypocrite. Fuck Robert Baratheon fuck that rapist haha haha. Bobby B my ass. Don't get what Lord Eddard Stark ever saw in him."

Elia Martell - Game of Thrones

Princess Elia was a good woman, Your Grace. She was kind and clever, with a gentle heart and a sweet wit.

Besides, the silver had been years in the company of the queen’s dragons, and had grown accustomed to the sight and scent of them. That was not something that could be said for the horses of their foes.

King Jaehaerys once told me that madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a new Targaryen is born, he said, the gods toss the coin in the air, and the world holds its breath to see how it will land.

Sleeping Sickness

A fic for Arya fans

“My lord, my name is Justin Massey. May I present you Lady Alysane Mormont, and the Lady of Winterfell. Arya Stark.”

Lyla almost spilled the wine. She turned her head to study the group, time moving oddly slow. Justin was a large man with pale blond hair and red cheeks. Alysane was a shorter, more muscular built woman, and Arya was a pretty girl with brown eyes who wore a sombre expression. A name raced through her mind, the name of a girl Lyla didn’t know. Jeyne…

“Tell me, my lord,” Jon began as they walked the battlements of Winterfell, “you spoke earlier of the Prince Rhaegar and my lady aunt, and I must ask…”

Ser Barristan paused. “Yes, my king?”

“Do you think he was right?”

The old knight hesitated. “It is not my place to say whether he was or not. He drank from the cup of fate, to be sure, and fate replied accordingly.”

“And you?” Jon asked, leaning closer. “What would you have done? If you had to choose between someone you truly loved suffering from a fate worse than death or risking every vow you took to possibly end up dying to save them, what would you choose?”

Ser Barristan gave no answer. It brought forth the question again, the one of mud or fire, but instead of girls, it was a choice made of princes. Of kings. Jon’s piercing but sad eyes looked over the edge, to the courtyard below. Someone was down there, alone, the whirr of arrows striking a target.

“‘The things we love destroy us every time,’” Jon whispered, the words coming slow, measured. Ser Barristan rose his eyes to see Jon looking at him again, stare softer now. He turned back to the sight in the yard. “A…mentor of mine told me that, once. I hadn’t believed him until it happened, but he was right. He was always right.” He gave a nod, as leisurely as his words were. “But sometimes being destroyed is worth it. I feel more alive than I ever have.”

Barristan watched him again, and suddenly he was years back in time, seeing his dear friend again live and in the flesh. The wind cut deep, threading through the boy’s hair like little fingers, making the strands blow the way Rhaegar’s had, once.

“Pray excuse me, my lord,” his voice even sounded like Rhaegar’s, deep and crafted from iron, yet melodic. “I have been told Howland Reed is expecting my presence.”
