⤷ gender neutral, Valyrian blood (dragon rider), and any size reader. Requests are open, thank you for reading!
a/n: so I realised I didn't exactly go with the 'how they show their love'. Instead, I've changed it to general headcanons w/ your bonded dragon (because I can talk about a whole lot more!)
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ
𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐅𝐘𝐑𝐄
・Also known as 'The Mother of Dragons', her pale blue scales shone with silver detailing, giving an almost shimmering appearance.
・30% Aggressive, 35% Loving, 15% Graceful, 20% Wise
・A mother hen sometimes; won't fly until you've had something to eat, you MUST have your water satchel at all times
・Her favourite food is lamb, she cannot stand pig. Even if there isn't anything else to eat, she would rather starve. You have no idea why she's like that.
・LOVES the water, absolutely adores waterfalls in particular. That's where she likes flying off to.
・It's mind-blowing to see a dragon swim, a lizard-like head bobbing up and down. Making happy noises as she floats in the crystal-like water
・She's actually one of the dragons who does like to collect things. In can range from precious jewels to gold to shells to things she's found while swimming
・You bring her things if you've been away (she doesn't like when you don't visit her at least daily)
・But she forgives you when she sees the sack full of *things*
𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐘𝐒
・Known as 'The Red Queen,' in her youth, she was the fastest dragon in all of Westeros.
・When she was younger, and being trained; she excelled. So much so, that others wondered if she could become the next Balerion.
・Because it isn't just about brute strength, but understanding commands, connecting with what needs to be done etc. Some dragons learn the art of war, and others just ... participate in wars.
・That's why your father pushed you so hard to train. It wasn't to experience difficult situations, but to understand how Meleys would react to them. And in turn, she learned how you react.
・You and Meleys became known for your victories, for if there is a battle, or even a war, you and Meleys are called in.
・Meleys does not like to be touched by anyone but you - so you're the one who bathes her, who tends to her wounds.
・Meleys is very graceful, and likes to be preened. Especially the crown of thorns that grow from her head. With each year they seem to get stronger and larger.
𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐗𝐄𝐒
・The most unique-looking dragon to ever exist in Westeros. And you love that about him.
・His elongated neck is one of your favourite features about him (he was a bit insecure about it when he was younger. His appearance freaked out not only other people, but the other dragons. Who basically shunned him
・He wasn't allowed in the Dragonpits because too many wanted to fit him.
・But Syrax, she was his only friend. Well, besides you...Well, you're his family.
・Both of you are loners, but intimidating loners. That's how you became the most formiddable pair. All that time together.
・Because then you started to move in connection with one another. Like magnets. Foreseeing each other's decisions, and being able to react; this connection makes it so easy to win battles.
・Even against other dragons and dragonriders, they just don't seem to be on your level.
・Caraxes is very warm, moreso than the other dragons as well. It may be because of his colouring, the fact that his fire is also so hot it melts men in armour where they stand. It might also be because his neck changes how his fire sits within him.
・Either way, it makes for a great help in the Winter when you're shivering, while in the clouds, flying.
𝐒𝐘𝐑𝐀𝐗
・Willful and stubborn, Syrax doesn't like flying unless the weather is nice.
・She LOVES being doted upon. Call her a good girl and she's yours.
・However, she does have a quick temper
・And doesn't like her limits pushed
・Understands when something is important, i.e., when she has to be used as a weapon (she likes using her fire - bit of a pyromaniac)
・She shows her love by flying you to the outlands of King's Landing or Dragstone. You love being near the water, with the sun beating down on you.
・Syrax is impatient though and you have to find a place where she can fall asleep underneath shade
・Snorts when she scares someone
・Syrax HATES when she gets dirty, and demands to be bathed every day
・Training her was actually a nightmare. She has the capacity to learn a lot but just doesn't have the ambition
・She had to be bribed with food, basically all the time.
𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐊𝐄
・More of an introverted personality. Doesn't care for warfare, but trains when he has to. But when it comes to you, he will fight til the very end.
・Extremely loyal, doesn't like being away from you for very long
・And is the second best looking dragon in all of Westeros
・But you always tell him that he's the prettiest boi the world has ever seen
・The difference between Sunfyre and Seasmoke is that Sunfyre knows he's a hottie and loves the attention. Seasmoke doesn't care for the cheers of the crowd
・Seasmoke is a lot less self-indulged
・He does love being near the water. Definitely has Pisces energy about him.
・The pink frills behind his neck are very ticklish and once nearly shook you off because you wouldn't stop tickling them.
・He prefers to eat fish over anything
・And you actually made him a pearl necklace from all the oysters he finds while diving into the ocean
𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐅𝐘𝐑𝐄
・The most beautiful dragon to ever grace Westeros.
・Known as 'Sunfyre the Golden.'
・Well that's what the Maesters had written in the history records
・Sunfyre is very stunning
・With gleaming gold scales that seem to create sunspots when the sun hits them
・His wings are pink entwined with gold. Pearlescent white showing here and there.
・Crowds flock to see Sunfyre
・And both you and Sunfyre love flying above those crowds, hearing the cheers as you swoop low and show off
・However, even though he loves being complimented, he mostly just wants to be loved. Adored. He hates being on his own, and absolutely loves when you sleep beside him.
・He will tug on your clothes when he's bored; but one time he accidentally bit you and you were so grumpy with him.
・To make up for it, he had brought back a dead sheep (in dragon language that means " I'm sorry " )
𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍
・One of the younger dragons, she is known as 'The Blue Queen.' Her name is after a Valyrian goddess. One of power and glory.
・But you just know her as Tess, and she nudges you whenever you do so
・She's your best friend, and you're hers.
・For a dragon, she's very reliable and down to earth (major metaphorical sense for the latter)
・Her appearance is nearly completely blue, with touches of pearlescent white on her horns. Her eyes are a glowing blue as is her flame.
・Very good around children, and has actually allowed one to touch her snout.
・Has a thirst for adventure and you show your love by allowing her her freedom
・Never chaining her in the dragonpit, your only command is not to go too far when she might be needed.
・She actually loves flying at night, and keeps herself steady so you can watch the stars

"Everyone says Targaryens are closer to Gods than to men." Daenerys Targaryen × the Egyptian Pantheon.
1) The Mother of Monsters
👉 Daenerys, like everyone, has a dark side, maybe literally embodied by her "winged shadow", Drogon (who is savage and disobedient, as well as hungry for children, sometimes) - a dragon she named after her fearsome and brutal husband, a man she loves but who hurt her. To play the game is to play an ugly game - a game of war, of blood, of casualties, of confusions. After Drogo dies, Daenerys becomes a Conqueror Queen and takes Daario Naharis as her lover - and he is a gallant but dangerous man, who asks Daenerys to indulge in her darkest self and her most violent options. Daenerys' birth and rebirth both come through violence and sacrifice : her mother's death and the great storm on Dragonstone, her husband's death and his funeral pyre in the desert. Death and sex (meaning death and love, death and life) are a part of Daenerys' journey, for the better and the worse.
Gods : Seth, desert and storm god / Hathor, goddess of love and childbirth / Sekhmet, powerful warrior goddess and alter-ego of Hathor. Red & black & turquoise as code colors.
Attributes : Sun disk inside of cow's horns (Hathor), knife (Sekhmet), was-sceptre handle (Seth).
☝️figures : possibly actually Isis on the left but she has attributes very much borrowed from Hathor (the cow horns, sun disk, menat) ; on the right, Sekhmet the bloodythirsty lioness.
2) The Silver Queen
👉 Daenerys and Viserion, her pale sweet child, named after her brother Viserys, IIIrd of his name. A picture of royal power : Daenerys is a Queen, who tries to rule nobly and gently over her subjects. Viserion represents a promise to be everything her brother could not be, to never be seen as weak and pathetic as him, to always be royal in appearance and in character and justly proud, as well as to be a discerning and wise monarch. Daenerys thus wears her three headed-crown in all official circumstances, and exerts herself to be a strong leader, and listens to the wise advice of those around her, and to bring peace instead of war. She intends to restaure a natural cycle of growth and prosperity in Meereen by planting olive trees, a notorious symbol of peace.
Gods : Isis (queen goddess of magic and fertility) / Horus (son of Isis and symbol of kingship ; god of the Sky) / Orisis (undead god of the afterlife, of eternal life and of natural green cycles).
Attributes : the Ankh, the Sun and the moon (Horus' eyes), mixed Heka sceptre/Nekhakha scourge (Pharaoh), Udjat eye (Horus), composite ostrich feather crown (Isis & Osiris).
☝️figure on the left is actually Queen Nefertari, but the great royal wife/queen of the pharaoh is often considered to be the incarnation of Isis on earth (used this one here to contrast with the previous look) and shared attributes with her ; on the right, the god-king Osiris.
3) The Slayer of Lies
👉 At her core, Daenerys is a kind empathetic young woman with the drive to do good. She's here with Rhaegal, the dragon named after the brother who died before she was born and to whom she's often compared. Rhaegar represents a model as a prince and as a king who never was - Daenerys often sees gim in her visions, and models some of her actions after her image of him ("it's time to cross the Trident"). Daenerys is an idealist who wants to fight to leave the world a better place than she found it. Daenerys has endured being sold, and slavery, and is at her core, beyond her dragon children and her crown, she is a young girl who has faced hardship and wishes that others would not go through the same things, or to be able to rescue others from them. As such, she is also the Breaker of Chains.
God : Maât (goddess of Justice, Harmony, Peace, Cosmic Order and Balance) + a dash of Osiris (natural cycles - plants)
Attributes : the Feather of Maât (symbol of purity and tester of goodness).
☝️ a representation of Maât.
