was your meme w the daemon au about the oneshot where she married him to avoid marrying viserys? because i would LOVE to know how people reacted when daemon (i assume it would be daemon) sends a message to viserys - 🩵
Hi Anon 💖, sorry for the delay in responding but I was actually writing something totally different but I saw your question and Viserys' reaction came to mind so I started writing haha
btw, I thought this would be shorter
I hope you enjoy it 🥰🥰💖💖
I recommend people read "The Decision" first to better understand this
Tumblr media
At first, when barely an hour had passed since you had disappeared on the back of your dragon, your family had not worried, thinking that perhaps you had lost track of time while flying. It wouldn't be the first time that happens. But then it got dark and you still didn't show up. The worst thing was that Viserys wanted to dine with you in his chambers. Corlys excused your absence by sending your maid to tell the King that you were feeling ill. Rhaenys was furious with her husband for not telling Viserys that you were missing, if the king asked for it then everyone would look for you but Corlys didn't seem to care about your safety, he seemed more worried that Viserys would think that you had escaped to avoid marrying him. Of course, your father couldn't hide your absence for long. Somehow Otto Hightower had found out about your disappearance and reported it to the king.
The next day the entire council was gathered and the king's fury at having been kept secret from the disappearance of his fiancée was evident. Rhaenyra listened worriedly as her father asked Lord Velaryon for explanations. She feared that you had made a drastic decision to run away, her heart ached just thinking that you had left without saying goodbye first.
Corlys didn't even have the chance to excuse himself and make up some story about actually knowing your whereabouts when a maester interrupted the room. The Grand Master was already about to scold him when the youngest reported that a letter had arrived with the seal of House Targaryen. Viserys instantly ordered the parchment to be given to him, knowing that it must be a letter from his brother.
Everyone watched in silence as the king's face became redder and redder as he read the parchment. “Daemon took her as his second wife,” he announced as he twisted the letter into a bun in annoyance.
Rhaenyra felt her heart skip a beat and had to hold onto the table to keep from losing her balance. You were supposed to run away or find a way to break off the engagement, not get married. The worst thing is that you married her uncle. It was unfair that he could have you but she couldn't. If only she had been brave enough to tell you how she felt but she was a coward and she settled for your friendship. She settled for pretending that you were hers every time the two of you walked hand in hand through the hallways or when she exchanged her rings with yours as if it were some declaration of love.
“Poor Lady Y/n, Prince Daemon surely took advantage of her,” said the king's hand with mock regret. Corlys was not blind like Viserys so he could see how Otto Hightower was forcing himself not to smile. He should be the only attempt with this situation, now with you out of the way he could push his daughter Alicent again so that she could get the king's attention and thus make her queen.
“You can annul their marriage,” said the princess, drawing everyone's attention to the obvious desperation and pain in her voice. Years later, different versions of the reason for Rhaenyra's despair circulated in history books. Some would say it was because she was in love with her uncle. Others would say that you were actually the owner of her affections.
“The king can no longer marry Lady Y/n. Not now that Prince Daemon…”Lyonel Strong trailed off, trying to think of a not-so-shocking word to finish with.
“He ruined her,” Otto continued.
“You're talking about my daughter, watch your mouth!” Corlys demanded furiously, hitting his palm against the table. Lyonel had wanted to avoid exactly this.
Rhaenyra also glared at the king's hand. She hated that he had used that word to describe you but I can't help but think that maybe it was better that the lords thought that of you because then they wouldn't want to marry you. Her father would annul your marriage, you would come home to her and she would never have to worry about someone else trying to steal you from her.
“They married under Valyrian customs. It may not be valid in the eyes of faith but in my eyes, it is” declared the king. Besides, he wasn't going to annul your marriage and then marry you. It would be humiliating. He didn't want to spend the rest of his life with a wife who didn't love him. You had made it more than clear in the letter. He couldn't be mad at you, not when you had apologized for not telling him how you really felt sooner, had told him that you appreciated him but couldn't imagine loving him the way you love his brother, and that you thought he deserved a wife who truly loved him. Still, he was furious with his brother because he had taken advantage of you, it didn't matter that in the letter you said that Daemon didn't force you into anything and that it was your decision to marry, Viserys was sure that Daemon didn't love you, that he had only taken you as a wife to annoy him, as revenge for making Rhaenyra his heir.
“I am very sorry for my daughter's actions, your Grace,” Corlys apologized almost through his teeth. He was furious with Viserys for being so weak. Another man would have instantly annulled the marriage and gone to find his bride but he was not surprised by the king's attitude considering that he had been more interested in planning the wedding than in putting an action plan for the situation that was occurring on the Stepstones
He was so furious with you too. If before Viserys was not interested in the Stepstones, now with you breaking your engagement even less so. He couldn't believe you did this to him. He thought he raised you better. You could have made the Velaryons go down in history by giving the king a son but you ruined everything.

The dragon has three heads (Viserys x Reader x Daemon)
Tumblr media
Summary: It's Viserys first day as King. You and your twin see him off.
A/N: We interrupt my scheduled hate of Viserys to bring you this. I thought it out when writing another request.
Warnings: Daemon x sister!Reader x Viserys to fulfill double penetration. So oral sex and vaginal sex plus Targcest.
Your limbs felt heavy. Your mind was sluggish and soft, still submerged in the waters of sleep. In and out you drifted, cradled gently in someone's arms. There was noise around you, movement. But your eyes remained closed because you knew you were safe.
A ticklish sensation on the sole of your feet made you pull it up, kneeing your pillow. The pillow made a hurt noise, and you scrunched up your face. You were not ready to wake up yet.
Your pillow shook. You looked up, blinking wearily. Daemon's eyes stared down at you. He was fighting laughter. The light inside your shared chambers was hitting him from behind, making his silver hair shine like a halo.
There was another tickle to your soles. You squirmed, and tried to hide under the sheets. You did not want to get up just yet.
“Come on. Up, sleepyheads.” Your brother's hand curled around your ankle, tugging. You whined more, clinging to your twin. “Won't the two of you see me off today?”
Daemon groaned. Now that Viserys was including him in his plans, he did not seem as amused by your plight. You echoed his noise. Viserys remained as cheerful as ever.
“Is that the way to address your King?” He teased, tickling the arch of your foot. You yipped and kicked the sheets away, letting you as naked as the day you were born.
“Thank the Gods that you are cute.” Viserys said, unbearably fond. Daemon stretched as well, fishing for his own compliments. He, too, was naked. “Both of you.”
You finally turned to face Viserys, finding him already dressed for the day. He even had his crown on. The reminder of your triumph made you smile. Though cousin Rhaenys had a stronger claim to the throne, Viserys was a man. A King always trumped a Queen. And you were the lucky woman who was married to him.
“Morning, brother.” You beamed at Viserys. He beamed right back.
Daemon pulled you closer, pressing his erection to your back.
“And what of your twin? Or are measly Princes no longer enough for you?” He asked, kissing your shoulder. Despite his playful words, you could feel Daemon's hesitation. It was Viserys first day as a King, and your first as his Queen. He probably wondered where he fitted in all of that.
During your whole childhood, the three of you had been together. Where Viserys went, Daemon and you followed. He had been the best older brother that anyone could ask for, always looking out for you.
It had been Viserys who had discovered Daemon and you, all those years ago. When the two of you were nothing more than a young girl and boy, fascinated by the differences in your bodies. Viserys had been the one to teach both of you the pleasures you could pull from it.
The three of you had married under the traditions of your house as soon as Daemon and you reached the majority. Three heads for the dragon, just as your banner, and just as Aegon and his two sisters wives.
It was not unheard of, for Targaryens to wed sister and brother. But what was unheard of was for a woman to marry two men. And so, Viserys and you had married under the Faith of the Seven to prevent a scandal. In the eyes of the realm, you were his, and it was only more cemented by your position as his queen.
It must have upset Daemon, but you knew it was the best course of action as to not attract unwanted attention. It had also been your grandfather's condition. The wounds from Maegor's reign were still too fresh in his memory.
To you, of course, it meant nothing. The bond you had with Daemon was even stronger. You were twins. Two halves of the same soul, separated into two bodies. You were never apart, not even when physically separated, for you were the same being.
Viserys gave you a look. You nodded, and turned to kiss Daemon. If he was in need of reassurances, you were going to give them to him.
You gave Daemon a slow, passionate kiss. You made sure to leave no corner of his mouth unexplored, no inch unkissed. Viserys quietly seated himself on the bed next to your twin, back propped against a pillow, legs stretched. When his hands reached for your back, you finally stopped making out with your twin and laid down, head between his thighs.
Daemon pouted.
“What are you doing?”
Viserys remained fully dressed, in what must have been a confusing sight to Daemon. Your twin and you enjoyed playing different games than this. When you were with Viserys, he liked to play husband and wife. Daemon and you had never fully evolved from the childhood games of slipping a finger in, taking something inside your mouth, raking nails across each other's ribs. While he had taken you as a man was meant to take his woman, it was a rare occasion.
You knew he had fucked other women, common whores and nobles alike. But he always came back to you, and never dared take you in such a way unless you begged for it. He didn't want to defile you, perhaps. Didn't want to lump you in with them. You were still his little sister, his hāedus. Precious, pure, Valyrian. Made by the gods to his image and likeness.
“Come on.” Viserys said, smoothing your hair back. “Doesn't she look good, brother?”
“She does. She always does.” Daemon spoke, as if caught in a trance.
“Will you get me ready for you?” You asked him, pouting. Daemon looked at Viserys. Whatever that he saw, it seemed to please him, for he leaned in over you. The wet, smacking sounds over you, told you that they had started to make out. You took your chance to run your hand over Daemon's stomach, gently scratching with your nails.
He shivered, just as you thought he would. With a gentle hand, you took his member and started to tease him. Daemon gasped.
Viserys’ hands started to pull at your nipples, making you arch from the bed. You felt yourself become slick with want already, arousal pooling in your belly and making you whine wantonly.
Your noises made your brothers pull apart. Viserys chuckled, his caresses turning more insistent now that Daemon wasn't distracting him with a kiss.
“Sweet little whore.” Daemon whispered, brushing your cheek with almost reverence. You pulled him on top of you, rubbing yourself against his thigh without an ounce of shame.
“I want you inside me, dārilaros.” You licked the shell of his ear, playfully. Daemon groaned.
“In your..?” He asked, softly. You never knew him to be so hesitant.
“My cunt, Daemon.” You rolled your eyes. You were his twin, after all.
“But Viserys…”
“I will have her mouth.” Viserys ordered, and finally took off his crown. He set it aside, and opened his breeches. You leaned your head on his thigh, watching him loom over you.
Viserys was the decision maker of the three of you. When faced with dilemmas, he took rash, decisive action. Daemon was mercurial, and prone to sudden mood swings, which often meant that he second guessed himself. You, like Viserys, were stubborn as they came.
A hand on your thigh startled you. It was Daemon, gently making room for himself. You let your thighs fall apart, showing him your slick cunt. He hummed appreciatively, and slowly started rutting against you, without entering. He dragged his tip against your entrance, teasing the both of you, before tapping it against your pearl and starting all over again.
You tried focusing on Viserys, taking him inside your mouth. He was as impatient as Daemon, though, so his hands found immediate purchase on your hair.
“Show me how good of a Queen you are, my love.” His thumb brushed over the slope of your nose, careful. You twisted yourself as good as you could, knowing that when Daemon entered, you would have a hard time doing more than using Viserys’ lap as a pillow.
His manhood was heavy on your tongue, the taste salty and musky. You looked up at him, mischievously. Viserys groaned, and urged you to take him deeper.
But you were a Targaryen and a Queen. You took orders from no one. Instead, you twirled your tongue around him, licking him sloppily. You knew there would be time for deep thrusts into your throat later on. Viserys’ thighs shook under you, throwing off your rhythm.
Daemon got down on his stomach, and sucked your pearl inside his mouth. There was no finesse to the way he was touching you, just pure desperation. It made you jolt and choke a moan around Viserys’ cock.
Daemon needed you wet and open, fast. His own desperation was showing in the way he gripped at you, almost cruel. He pressed a finger inside you and growled.
“You are soaked, little sister.”
You would have given him a snide reply, but you were too busy sucking Viserys' cock. Thank the gods the three of you had stayed up celebrating last night, or otherwise it would have been too much and too fast.
You thanked the gods that the three of you had stayed up last night celebrating, and not gone straight to bed. Otherwise, your body could not take it.
Noticing your distress, Viserys starts rubbing your breasts, softly kneading.
“You are doing so good, my Queen.”
“Our Queen.” Daemon pulls away from your cunt, annoyed.
“Treat her like it, then.”
Daemon grumbles a little, but complies. The desperate fingering of your poor hole slows down to a more manageable pace. Your moans around Viserys lost their pained edge, and you were able to go back to focusing on pleasing him.
Your twin gets more dedicated with his kisses. He slows down, licking your sex from top to bottom until you are squirming and unable to focus on anything else but the way he is kissing you.
You let go of Viserys cock, resting your head on his thigh. Your face scrunches up, jaw already a little sore. You moan, loud and high.
Your older brother gives you a kind look and pets your hair, pushing it back from your face. He seems as mesmerized by the sight of your twin lapping up the nectar between your thighs as you are.
“Be quiet.” He chides. “Or I will take your mouth until you are too sore to cry out.”
The thought, coupled with the way Daemon is starting to push his tongue inside you, makes you kneen. One of your hands timidly goes to his silver hair, encouraging him to go deeper. Your other hand reaches for Viserys, who gives you his outstretched hand to hold.
“Quiet, hāedus.” Viserys squeezes your hand.
Daemon stops his ministrations. He looks up at you, face wet with your slick, and chuckles.
“Give her your cock back, Viserys, if you are that bothered by the noise.”
“I am waiting for the two of you.”
“Afraid I will bite your cock once Daemon presses…” You tease, but before you can finish your sentence, Daemon gives your ankles a mighty tug and buries himself to the hilt inside you. “Ah. Brother…” And you are not even sure which one of them you are pleading to anymore. You have forgotten whatever smug comment you were going to say to Viserys, mouth falling open with surprise and pleasure.
Daemon feels right inside you. Warm, thick and reaching just the place where you need him to. Just the place that makes your smug comments and piling on Viserys fall away, mind gone blank with nothing but the need to give the two of them perfect Valyrian babes. Twins, like you and Daemon, or at least, a litter of siblings that can marry each other and keep your bloodline pure.
“Brat.” Daemon says, fondly. “Stop being mean to Viserys. You need to apologize. Relax your jaw for him.”
So you do. You open your mouth, letting it hang open, and give Viserys your best puppy eyed look. He snorts, very undignified for a King, and places the tip of his cock against your mouth. You whine.
“Spoiled little thing, isn't she?” Viserys pulls his hips away, and you do your best to give chase, whining more. Daemon tuts, and grips you firmly by the waist. Viserys look at him, and they exchange a glance, communicating without a word needing to be said. “Did that look like an apology to you, Daemon?”
“Not at all, brother.” He pulls out of you as well, making you whine more.
“That is so unfair!” You complain. “The two of you are teaming up against me.”
“Like you were trying to do before with me, huh?” Daemon asks, meanly pinching your thigh. You shriek and kick at him a little. “You were being mean to Viserys.”
“Oh, like you aren't!” You squirm away from him, turning on to your belly so he can’t pinch at you. You crawl towards Viserys, hoping he will protect you. Instead, he only tugs at your wrists, keeping them pinned down so you can't move.
You are trying so hard to get free of Viserys’ grip that you make a fatal mistake. You don't notice Daemon at your back, getting ready to strike. And strike he does. He smacks your arse, making you wince and fall forward into Viserys. Daemon smacks your arse again. And again. It's edging into picking of you, rather than just teasing. It's making you unbelievably wet.
“Viserys!” You scream. “Do something!”
“You are a little brat. But so is he. Enough.” Your older brother orders, letting go of your wrists. He gives Daemon a warning look. “Both of you.”
You give Daemon a superior sneer over your shoulder. You stick your tongue out. He snarls, and tugs at your hair.
“You are the Queen and Prince of the Seven Kingdoms. Behave as it befits your station.” Viserys says. “Daemon, inside. You, open your mouth.”
Daemon laughs. You do so as well. Viserys pouts.
“It's an order from your King.” He repeats, pompously.
“Alright, alright. If the King orders it.” You say, and open up your mouth. You make your best effort to let your jaw go loose, and welcome him inside. He is considerate enough to not start thrusting right away, but you know soon that patience will be tested. Viserys is as much of a dragon as Daemon and you are, and he is not one to deny himself of his pleasure. He can take you over and over on his good days, fuck you until you cry, and remain unbothered by your tears. In a sense, Daemon and him are the same.
You feel Daemon's hands on your back, warning you that he is soon to move. You widen your stance, knees falling even more apart. He slides inside carefully enough, but the stretch still hurts. You wince, and Viserys is quick to smooth down your frown with a thumb, very gentle.
Both of your brothers are very tuned in to your reactions. Consequence of being a twin, for Daemon. Consequence of being the eldest, for Viserys. They are cautious about your discomfort. You wonder what would they be like if you were not a Targaryen.
You have heard Daemon could be quite cruel with whores. He had a taste for Valyrian girls, of pouty mouths and tight little bodies, barely out of childhood. Viserys had wandering eyes, and mistook every kindness for flirting. He only read you right because he had known you all your life. They respected your strength and power too much to do anything else.
Daemon hands goes to your pearl, rubbing quick little circles in the hope of making you relax. You force your body to accept his intrusion, and go lax in between them, trusting them to not let you fall.
Viserys starts thrusting into your mouth, shallowly at first. He works on opening up your throat for him, and you try to focus on breathing to your nose. Gagging happens regardless. Daemon jolts you too much once he starts moving not to.
“Seven Hells. Do that again.” He mutters to Viserys, after a particularly vicious thrust on your throat. “She flutters delightfully when she chokes.”
You garble out an indignant reply at their lack of consideration, but you are quickly soothed by Daemon's fingers rubbing your pearl. He keeps his strokes long, making sure to drag against your walls in the most pleasurable way.
Viserys soon starts to praise you under his breath. He is the one who has been teased longer, so it makes sense that he would be the first of the three of you to let go.
“You are so good. Your mouth, sister…”
You grin around his member. You double your efforts, sucking at him and bobbing your head with enthusiasm. Your focus is so much on him that your peak takes you by surprise, and with one last thrust of Daemon's hips, you are screaming around Viserys. The vibrations against him prove to be too much, and he too goes over the edge with a muffled curse. He barely manages to pull out of you, painting your chest white.
Daemon is spurred on by the sounds and sights around him, and he snaps his hips once, twice, thrice, before he is screaming his release. You feel it coat your thighs, and it's only then that you allow yourself to collapse into Viserys.
“I was already dressed for the day.” He complains. “Can't walk into the council covered in my own seed.”
“Change later.” Daemon says, plopping on top of you and by extension, Viserys. Your older brother groans. “You are not going yet.”
“They will come looking for me.” Viserys tries to wiggle out of the cuddle pile, but the weight of your twin, and you combined is too much to do anything.
“Let them come.”

Could you write about Harwin strong being married to Rhaenyra's sister and they are in Drifmark and is their son who attacked Aemond to protect his little brother so when they are asking about what happens they stand up for him and at the end is the reader who stops Alicent from attacking her son?
Tumblr media
(Gif not mine but oh, be still my beating heart)
Title: Strong Bonds
Fandom: House of the Dragon
Pairing: Harwin Strong x Female!Targaryen Reader
Word Count: 7,610
Warnings: Grief, incest, blood, violence, childbirth, etc.
A/N: FINALLY A HARWIN STRONG REQUEST! For context, Y/n will be a year younger than Rhaenyra, and speaking of which, Rhaenyra will still be married to Laenor and their sons are all legitimate with mixed skin, silver hair, and purple eyes.
(I do not consent to my works being reposted/copied)
"Are you sure it's safe for you to be traveling at this extent?"
Y/n peered up from absentmindedly playing with her sleeping son's dark hair, her own silver locks falling over her eyes as she does so. The carriage rocks as it slowly made its way down a dirt road outside, swaying the Targaryen princess and her family in a calming moment of their chaotic lives. The son whose head rested in her lap, Osmund, stirred when the carriage hit a bump in the road but otherwise kept on dreaming. Y/n returned to petting his hair to keep him that way.
Her husband, Harwin Strong, closely watches her from across the carriage, their youngest son, Baelor, also slept but preferred his father's strong arms over his mother's small lap. No one could blame the five-year-old child since Princess Y/n's lap had shrunk over the months due to her ever-growing stomach, now barely giving ten-year-old Osmund room to sleep in peace.
She raises a sharp eyebrow at her husband, "Would you rather have me fly Qyraxes to Driftmark?"
"Gods, woman, no of course not," Harwin shakes his head, but couldn't help the small grin he bore, "You act like I want to be a widower. What I meant to say was that we didn't have to leave if it would be safer for you."
"This is my cousin's funeral, my love," Y/n spoke sadly, staring out the window while thinking of Laena, "Everyone is going to be there and we, alongside the rest of my father's family, are expected to be there. Besides... I have not seen or heard from Rhaenyra since she left for Dragonstone. I need to see her again."
"Your sister could easily fly back to King's Landing to see you."
A scowl forms on the princess' beautiful face, "Not when there are leeches always lurking about in the Red Keep."
She doesn't speak plainly, but the message was clear. Y/n always prided herself in acting similar to her uncle, Daemon, over her father, Viserys. Much like Daemon, Y/n always saw Otto Hightower as a leech, sucking the blood from the King's back. His daughter is no different. Queen Alicent is a thorn in Y/n's side. Like repeating history, the two women exchange poisoned words with each other, much like how Otto and Daemon once did. It brought Y/n comfort to learn that Lord Otto was dismissed and sent back to Oldtown, with her good father, Lord Lyonel, taking his place as the new Hand of the King, but the Queen still remained. Y/n may not have been friends with Alicent like Rhaenyra once was, but their personalities clashed and therefore formed a rivalry that matched the feud between Alicent and Rhaenyra.
Alicent's most recent jab was one spoken under her breath, but for the entire Small Council to hear. She had made a comment that only true Targaryens have silver hair, and although she never spoke plainly, everyone knew she was singling out Y/n and Harwin's black-haired children. Lord Lyonel Strong looked appalled and disgusted in defense of his son, and Viserys wanted to come to his youngest daughter's defense, but Y/n had always been able to hold her own. Her sharp tongue shuts the accusation down quickly when she pointed out that Alicent's sons and daughter must not be true Targaryens then since they're half Hightower and were just lucky enough to bear silver hair.
Y/n didn't like King's Landing any more than Rhaenyra because of obvious reasons, but unlike Rhaenyra, the younger sister didn't really have a choice in leaving when both she and her husband were part of her father's court. As much as Y/n would love to raise her children alongside her sister in Dragonstone, Rhaenyra had been named the princess of said keep and therefore she had every right to live there. Y/n, being the younger daughter of Viserys and Aemma, had no such claim and unfortunately had no rights apart from those she earned when marrying her now husband.
Not to say she was complaining, however, since she loved Harwin with a burning passion and was happy to bear his sons and heirs of Harrenhal. Y/n had never been happier, and made peace with the fact that she would never have claims to anything like Rhaenyra did as long as she wasn't Viserys' heir. Y/n was content in just being a Targaryen princess, a dragon rider, a wife, and most proudly a mother. Nothing more.
Harwin relents after a fashion of heavy, grieving silence, adjusting his younger boy's head to rest more comfortably on his chest, "Did the maesters say you'll be safe to travel?"
"... No," she flashed a shy grin as if she had been caught stealing sweets, "But when has that ever stopped me?"
Harwin huffs out a small, exhausted laugh, a fond tone in his voice, "Have you noticed how much I've aged since I married the trickster that you are?"
"I've never tricked you into anything," Y/n tilts her head and smiles fondly back at him, "If anything, you're the one who's been tricking me. Only you could persuade me from causing a little chaos."
"Then I should have tried making my case back at King's Landing before we even packed for Driftmark."
"I'm pregnant, my love, not dying," Y/n decides to change the subject upon looking out the window and seeing Driftmark's rooftops in the distance, "I hope Daemon makes an appearance. He tends to act more of a stranger than usual when grieving."
~~~~~~~~~
Daemon is not there to greet his family when they arrive, but Rhaenyra is, along with her husband, Laenor, and their children, Jacaerys and Lucerys.
The royal family and their court all spill out of their line of carriages, King Viserys being the first to greet his oldest daughter with a hug and a kiss before greeting Laenor with his condolences. Alicent and her children dutifully say their grievances, but remain stiff during the whole exchange. Harwin emerges from his carriage, helping his sons out and then his heavily pregnant wife. Y/n's feet barely touched the ground before Rhaenyra embraced her.
"You look stunning," the older sister comments while holding Y/n's face in her hands, "Have the maesters determined the gender of the child?"
"They think it's a girl," Y/n beamed, glancing over at her husband, "And I think he is far more excited than I."
"Marvelous. You must tell me what names you have planned out over tea," Rhaenyra links her arm with Y/n as they began to walk.
"How is Joffrey?"
"Restless, I'm afraid. I left him at home with the wet nurse so that I may gain some sleep out of all of this. You know, if you're truly having a daughter, perhaps we might get to wed our children after all."
"Wouldn't that be lovely? We would get to spend our elder years together, watching our children and grandchildren rule all of the strong houses of the Seven Kingdoms. And let's not forget the dragons they would all ride."
The beautiful vision fades when the Lord and Lady of Driftmark finally come out to greet their guests. Rhaena and Baela are with them and are momentarily distracted from their grief in exchange for fawning over Y/n's rounded belly. Y/n gladly answered their questions if it meant they could briefly forget about their mother's passing. She also secretly enjoyed the girls' company, excited with the idea of possibly having her own girl soon. Jace and Luke trail behind them, but try to act as though they were not interested. Y/n included her nephews in the conversation, wanting them to bond with Laena's daughters. They were family after all, and family shouldn't feel like strangers to one another.
The funeral itself is brought down to the cliffsides where Laena's coffin is to be thrown into the sea. Vaemond Velaryon said a wonderful eulogy about his family's house and finally, the heavy coffin was thrown from the cliffs' edge, sinking to the very bottom of the deep. No one ever said a word until they walked back up to the keep in order to help themselves to wine and food. Plenty of people took this time to give their condolences to the family of the dead, and Corlys and Rhaenys bravely took in their guests despite mourning for the loss of their child. Laenor mysteriously vanishes, but no one says a word, not even when Corlys angrily sent Ser Qarl Correy to fetch him. Everyone was tight-lipped, the tension filling the air with the threat to break. Who were meant to be family members barely knew what to do with each other.
Speaking of, Y/n finally spotted Daemon lingering on the outskirts of the growing crowd and briefly left the children with Harwin and Rhaenyra so that she may give her condolences, "Uncle. My sincerest apologies for you and your daughters."
Daemon accepts the kiss on his cheek but keeps his hands folded in front of him, leaning against the stone balcony overlooking the sea. His eyes travel over his niece's face before traveling down to her swollen belly, smiling slightly as he spoke in Valyrian, "Not as sorry as I am for you to make such a harrowing journey in your predicament. My own wife was dying from childbirth before she took matters into her own hands. One could only wonder if the difficult labor was the consequence of our family traveling so often."
"You can't blame yourself for what's happened," Y/n rests a hand on her uncle's shoulder, reverting to her mother tongue, "Women die of childbirth every day, our mothers were no exception. Laena was strong and determined to die a dragonrider's death, which she succeeded."
Daemon briefly looks down and then looks off to the side. Y/n follows his gaze and spots her father across the yard, eyeing the two of them before turning away and speaking with Corlys Velaryon. Lyonel Strong is standing beside the King, with young Baelor weaving between his two grandfathers, unbothered. Y/n looks back at her uncle and whispers in his ear in the common tongue, "Speak with him. He misses you."
She pulls away and gives Daemon his space, carefully hobbling over to her usual social circles. Harwin has a chair waiting for her as their friends and family are gathered around it. Harwin holds Y/n's hand to steady her as she sits, gratefully taking a drink from a servant girl. Osmund approached his mother once she was settled and she immediately grabs his hand with an encouraging smile.
"Why don't you go and see to your cousins, hm?" Y/n gently squeezed her son's smaller hand, her thumb tracing shapes in his skin, "They've lost their mother. They could use a kind word."
Osmund looked as though he was ready to pout and whine until he glanced up at his father. One stern look from Harwin and the little lord sighs and nods obediently, leaning over and kissing his mother's cheek before walking away to find Rhaena and Baela.
Rhaenyra watches her nephew walk off, a cup of wine in her hands, "Is he ill-tempered?"
"Not usually. It's been a long journey to Driftmark and he was sad he couldn't fly here. It's also the first time he's ever experienced loss. I don't think he knows how to properly react yet," Y/n absently rubs her stomach, playfully smiling up at her husband, "He does get his might from his father though."
"As one could expect from the son of Ser Breakbones," Rhaenyra chimes in with amusement as she now watches her sister's movements, "So for names, have you decided on any?"
"A few," Harwin answered from his stance behind his wife's chair, "If the maesters were mistaken and it is a boy, we want to name him Viserys," Rhaenyra smiles as he continued, "If it's a girl... we're still deciding on just one."
"We've been going back and forth," Y/n sighs, exhausted by the memory alone, "Alysanne, Alyssa, Nymeria, Visenya and... and Aemma."
Rhaenyra pauses mid-sip, slowly pulling the goblet away from her lips when she found she couldn't swallow, eyes blinking rapidly as she wordlessly gripped Y/n's shoulder. Neither sister said a word, but they understood each other all the same. Rhaenyra pardons herself, deciding she needed fresh air away from the crowds. Once she caught sight of Daemon leaving the gathering, she makes up her mind and sends her sons to bed before she, too, disappeared from the public eye.
Y/n watched her sister leave with her uncle and chose to ignore it, smiling and acknowledging the King when he slowly made his way to her after bidding the Queen goodnight.
"My child," Viserys took his daughter's hand and kissed it, "I'm retiring for the night. Do try and get some rest before the return journey."
"Yes, Father. If it is my king's wish."
Viserys smiles and nods to Harwin before exiting. Eventually, Princess Rhaenys walks up to the couple after consoling her granddaughters, and Harwin offers her a seat beside Y/n. Rhaenys accepts and leans close to her distant cousin while overlooking the crowd.
"I had hoped for your baby to be born by the time this gathering happened," the elder woman admits, "I had hoped new life would've outshined the loss of an older one."
"Laena was still young," Y/n held onto Rhaenys' arm, "And strong-willed. I would rather have people remember her life today instead of celebrating the birth of my child. Laena deserves that. I'm so... I'm so sorry, Princess Rhaenys."
Rhaenys only nods, unable to allow herself tears in a public setting, keeping her eyes fixed on Y/n's hand on her arm for a focus point, "No parent should outlive their child."
"And yet, we all wish for our mothers to be with us for the rest of our lives," Y/n looks off, heart-clenching, "I wish my mother got to grow old. I wish she got to meet her grandchildren and die fat and happy... But I wouldn't wish that for myself if it meant your granddaughters got to have their mother back. I wouldn't wish for Rhaena and Baela to go through the same loss I went through when I was their age. I wouldn't wish that for my sons or my nephews."
Rhaenys stands, feeling the emotions threatening to spill from her eyes and she couldn't bear to cause a scene. She squeezes Y/n's shoulder, nodding in thanks when the words couldn't come out, and then she left. A few hours pass and then both Harwin and Y/n round up their boys and bring them to their beds. Once their children are asleep, the parents turn in for the night as well, hearts heavy and exhausted.
Harwin had been quiet during most of the interactions at the gathering, but his thoughts were loud in his actions. While helping his wife undress, he couldn't help but kiss her bare shoulder and let his hands linger around her stomach, storms brewing in his eyes, "Years ago, I couldn't understand why your father was so... broken after the loss of your mother and brother. But now... as your husband and father to our boys... I can't even fathom what I would do if that were you in your mother's place."
Y/n quietly hushes Harwin as she turned to face him, letting her fingers graze over his beard, "It happens to women all the time, my love. It cannot be helped. You can't fight your way out of that. My mother used to say that a woman's battlefield is the birthing bed, and unfortunately, it's not a battle you can fight for me."
Harwin nods despite the look of defeat in his eyes. He had always been a man of action, able to protect those he loves with his might. However, Ser Breakbones always felt helpless whenever his wife goes through pregnancy. He felt useless and the only thing he could do was continue to be a husband and father, but not a soldier. Up until now, his family didn't need him to be a soldier.
The two of them go to bed, held in each others' arms as the moon moves slowly overhead and commanding the unforgivable waves to crash against the rocky cliffs outside the keep. It was soothing to listen to as sleep overtook the tired pair, more soothing than the sounds of King's Landing at night. It was easy to drift into dreams when a beautiful place such as Driftmark was so peaceful and quiet.
That is until a frantic knock is heard pounding on their bedroom door hours later, rudely awakening Harwin and Y/n from their slumber. Harwin crawls out of bed and walks to the door, "Who is it?"
"Harrold Westerling, Ser Harwin."
Y/n sits up in bed, alarmed as both she and Harwin exchange a worried expression. Harwin helps her stand up and throw a dark red robe over her nightgown before they beckon the Commander of the Kingsguard inside. The old man throws the heavy door open, straightening his posture and bowing in Y/n's presence as she addressed him.
"Ser Harrold, what seems to be the matter?"
"Forgive me for the late hour, Princess," Harrold appeared out of breath and possibly even horrified, further worrying the Strongs, "But there has been an accident and your sons are waiting for you in the Great Hall."
Neither of them questions it, both parents racing out of the room with Ser Harrold closely following them. They weave through the hallways of the dark keep, barely seeing a soul awake until they burst into the doors leading into the Great Hall.
Most of the souls that were once sleeping under the roof of the keep were all gathered in this one room, the lights of torches and the blazing fireplaces dancing over everyone's grave faces. Y/n first spots silver hair and finds Rhaenyra and Daemon, standing together off to the side and holding onto Osmund and Baelor. Both Y/n and Harwin run to their sons and gather the boys in their arms, worry filling their voices as they question why both of them had blood on their little faces.
"Ozzy, what happened? Are you alright?"
"Are you hurt? Let me see it, son."
"Why is your nose bleeding?"
"Tell us what happened, Bae."
Poor little Baelor was crying too hard to get a word out, clinging onto his mother's skirts like a lifeline even as his father was kneeling beside him and examining the bloodied and bruised knuckles on his tiny left hand. Osmund looked angry and defiant, a cut cracked over the bridge of his nose and bleeding along with his flaring nostrils as his mother's hands trail over his injured face. Finally looking around at the rest of the crowd, Y/n noticed Viserys and Alicent on the other side of the room, the Queen kneeling beside the maester as he tended to Young Aemond, the prince sitting beside the fireplace with half of his face stitched up. Rhaena and Baela were also present and bleeding from their faces, hugging either side of their Grandmother Rhaenys' waist and Corlys stands protectively in front of them. A few faces were missing from this picture, such as Laenor and his sons, but Rhaenyra doesn't acknowledge this as she stands close to her sister and answers her questions.
"The children were fighting each other. A knife was drawn--"
"Your son took my son's eye!" Alicent proclaimed hysterically, unshed tears in her manic eyes as she stood up and stepped toward the center of the room.
Y/n's eyes widen and looked down at her oldest child, "Ozzy?"
"Aemond stole and claimed Vhagar," Osmund explained, "He said horrible things about Aunt Laena when we all confronted him."
"She attacked me!" Aemond snarled as he pointed at Baela, thus starting a chain of children arguing over each other.
"He attacked Baela!"
"You insulted our mother!"
"He broke Ozzy's nose!"
"He stole my dragon!"
"He could've killed me!"
"It should be my son telling the tale!" Alicent roared.
"He was only defending himself!"
"He could've killed Baelor!"
"I didn't do anything!"
"Silence!" Viserys demanded, slamming his cane down against the cobblestone floor, "I am your king and I will have the truth of what happened! Who drew the blade?!"
"It was mine," Osmund admits, hanging his head when all eyes turned to him, "I drew it when I thought Aemond was going to kill Bae."
"He wouldn't stop hitting me," Baelor whimpered into his mother's swollen belly, thus shattering Y/n's heart and angering Harwin's as he stood, placing himself between the royal family and his own with a stern glare.
"Let me see the knife."
Ser Harrold brought the weapon forward as evidence but wasn't stupid enough to just hand it over to Harwin. Ser Breakbones noticed the knife and nodded, looking back at Princess Y/n, "It's the one I gave him."
"But Osmund didn't cut Aemond!" Baela yelled to her cousin's defense, "It was--"
Her voice dies once she noticed something in Osmund's eyes and Rhaena elbowed her. Y/n caught this exchange and gently pinched her older boy's chin, forcing him to look up at her.
"Osmund Strong. Did you or did you not attack Prince Aemond with a knife?"
Osmund's throat bobbed nervously, eyes trying to focus on anything other than his mother's gaze. Y/n found this bizarre, considering that he had been honest with her until now. Then, realization began to dawn on the princess as she slowly looked down onto a different child, not Osmund. All eyes follow her gaze until they all land on Little Baelor. Y/n's other hand ran through her baby boy's hair.
"Bae... was it you?"
Baelor continued to sob, shaking from head to toe, "Aemond grabbed a rock! He was gonna hurt Ozzy!"
"I lost the knife," Osmund finally admitted, trying to keep everyone's attention away from his little brother, "And I got pushed to the ground, but it wasn't Baelor's fault! He took the knife to protect me!"
Alicent scowled in disgust, "And so you cut Aemond's face--"
"Your son was hitting my baby boy!" Y/n screamed back, beyond all of the Queen's slander.
"Seven Hells, Your Grace, he's only five years old!" Harwin came to his family's defense.
"And yet he's capable of spilling my son's blood!"
"Is this what you condone, my Queen?" Y/n's voice drops, a clear tone of challenge, "To have your son, a prince, attack little girls when they defend their mother's name?"
"Your sons attacked mine!"
"To defend their cousins," Y/n reminds her and the rest of those in the room, "Surely you wouldn't raise your son to believe he could do whatever he wanted just because he's royalty. Surely, the good Queen herself wouldn't teach her children to mistreat women or smash a little boy's head in with a rock."
Alicent is momentarily struck by the mockery, quickly recovering with a small scoff, her top lip twitching, "Are you questioning how I parent my children, Princess?"
"I am not questioning your parenting, Your Grace. I'm denying its existence."
Daemon grins proudly at his niece as the room is filled with gasps of dismay, clearly being the only one amused by Y/n's retort. Alicent's face crumbled as though someone had just smacked her in the face. With the tension straining, Harwin stood closer to his wife and children, his arm hovering over Y/n's back as Viserys clicked his cane upon the floor.
"Enough, Y/n. Trading insults won't change what happened. Aemond, tell me the truth, boy," the King slowly limps over to the bloodied prince, "Did you hit Lady Baela?"
Aemond looked as though he had been caught red-handed, pale, and stubborn. Slowly, he grits out his answer, "Yes. After she hit me."
"Liar!"
"Silence!" Viserys roared before glaring back down at his son, "Aemond, did you grab a rock?"
"To defend myself!"
"I was already on the ground, you idiot!" Osmund snapped, spitting out blood and saliva.
"Osmund!" Y/n reprimands her son, tightly holding his shoulder as Harwin reverts his gaze onto the boy.
"Hold your tongue, son."
"But no one was attacking him by then! We were all on the ground!"
"It's true!"
"Silence!" Viserys slammed his cane again.
"This was clearly just an act of self-defense, Your Grace," Y/n bravely continued her defense of her children, against her father's order.
"All of this... over an insult," Alicent huffs out a breath of disbelief with her eyes rimmed with tears, "My son has lost an eye."
Viserys, distressed, tired, and angry, nearly threw his arms around like a child having a tantrum, "This interminable infighting must cease! All of you! We are family! Now make your apologies and show goodwill to one another. Your father, your grandsire, your king demands it!"
The whole room froze, shocked with disbelief. Alicent appeared appalled as her husband slowly limped past her towards the door. Y/n witnessed something snap within the Hightower woman as she spoke, "That is insufficient."
Viserys slowly turns around to face her as the Queen continued, "Aemond has been damaged, permanently, my King. 'Good will' cannot make him whole."
"I know, Alicent, but I cannot restore his eye."
"No, because it's been taken."
"What would you have me do?"
"There is a debt to be paid," the sentence alone sent a chill down Y/n's back, eyes dancing between her father and stepmother. Viserys stared at his wife in disbelief as the Queen strongly proclaimed, "I shall have one of her son's eyes in return."
Murmurs and gasps of horror filled the room; Harwin and Y/n's grip on their sons tighten protectively. Viserys tried to calm Alicent, wanting to defuse the situation, "My dear wife--"
"He is your son, Viserys," Alicent cried, the tears finally spilling, "Your blood."
"Do not allow your temper to guide your judgment."
Silence fell again and Viserys thought it was over. He turns to leave just as his wife spoke again, her tear-stained face straightening up as her eyes turn to another man in the room, "If the King will not seek justice, the Queen will. Ser Criston... bring me the eye of Baelor Strong."
Criston Cole's eyes scan the room as Baelor begins to step back away from the crowd and from his parents, distraught and terrified as he spoke in his small, innocent voice, "Mother!"
"Alicent..." Viserys warned.
"He can choose which eye to keep. A privilege he did not grant my son!" Alicent snapped back while glaring down at the offending family.
"You will do no such thing." Y/n sternly stated, willing her voice not to shake in fear, but to be as powerful as the Queen's own demand.
"Stay your hand!" Viserys snaps to Ser Criston, to which Alicent pushes back.
"No, you are sworn to me!"
Ser Criston feels the eyes of Ser Harrold on him and finds his words, avoiding Alicent's gaze, "As your protector, my Queen."
Alicent reared back in betrayal, barely flinching as Viserys stepped up to her in challenge, "Alicent. This matter... is finished. Do you understand?"
She scans his face, unable to form a reply as he spins around and tries to meet the gaze of everyone else in the room, "And let it be known! No more fighting shall be done within the blood of my own family."
Y/n relaxed, her voice dropping its firm hold as she gently addressed the King, "Thank you, Father."
Both she and Harwin turn back to their sons, the father beckoning the boys to follow him as he tried leading his family away. The boys go to follow Harwin, still shaking in fear, while Y/n takes her time to follow, her hand gingerly caressing her stomach.
Viserys takes one more look at Alicent before turning back towards the door. He doesn't feel alarmed at the sound of her feet quickly following him, but it's not until he felt the empty space of his Valyrian dagger at his belt did his heart suddenly sink to his stomach.
Ser Harrold is the first to react, stepping towards the King, "Your Grace-!"
"Alicent!" Viserys spins back around, watching his wife's auburn hair disappear into the crowd with his dagger in hand.
Harrold sprints forward, shouting commands to his guards without turning back, "Stay with the King!"
"Hold your approach!" Criston Cole demands against his commander's wishes.
Others began to scream and shout a warning to others, pulling away and giving Alicent a wide berth with her newly acquired weapon. Y/n felt the hairs on the back of her neck before she heard the shouts of the Kingsguard along with her father's voice shouting Alicent's name. Spinning around, Y/n is met with a vengeful queen, Alicent screaming as she brought the raised dagger down on the princess.
Harwin spun around as the chaos began to rise, eyes widening as he immediately takes a large step forward, "Y/n, LOOK OUT!"
Y/n's arm rises and she's able to catch the arm Alicent held the blade in, trying to push the other woman away but they had both taken hold of each other's arms, pushing and pulling against each other, grunting under the weight of the force.
Harwin jolts forward in order to interfere, heart racing in fear and rage. Lord Lyonel steps in front of his son, however, forcing Harwin back just as the blade came down and Y/n had caught it, "No, son! Do not incriminate yourself!"
"Y/n!" Harwin yelled, struggling against his father. He was definitely strong enough to push Lyonel away, easily, hadn't two Kingsguard stepped forward and held onto Ser Breakbones.
It was pure chaos. Kingsguard held swords out to those who dared try to come to Y/n's aid, conflicted with their duties but wanting to protect their Queen if it meant letting her pursue the princess. Ser Harrold was easily just as conflicted, not knowing who he should order his men to protect as he tried pushing through the crowd. He makes it to the two women, but with his mind not yet made up, he instead circles them and pushes lords, ladies, and other soldiers back if they tried to step forward.
Harrold sees someone rushing forward and holds his arm out to them, "Do not, Ser Criston!"
"Alicent!" Viserys roared, but couldn't move much as he stumbled with his cane.
Baelor screams in terror as everyone who formed a circle around his mother and Alicent pushed him back as they grant the women space. Harrold tried yelling over the chaos as others also screamed in fear and protest, all trying to outscream the other.
"Do not, Ser Criston!"
Criston Cole, fierce and determined, tries getting into the circle, perhaps wanting to perform his duty and protect his queen. He pushes people away to get to Alicent and Y/n, but Daemon suddenly steps forward and is able to stop the knight in his tracks, keeping him in place as the two men glared at one another until two other Kingsguard took Criston by the arms.
"Alicent!"
"No!" Harwin shouts, desperately struggling against his bonds and giving the Kingsguard a workout in restraining him.
Rhaenys keeps her granddaughters behind her while she made a grab for Osmund and Baelor, pulling the boys to her body while Corlys shields them all behind him. Rhaenyra is left open and tries to make it to her sister, but Ser Harrold grabs her gently and keeps her back while simultaneously trying to get a hold of his men, "Stay your hand, Cole!"
Rhaenyra struggles against Ser Harrold's hold on her, shouting over at the Queen, "You've gone too far, Alicent!"
"I?" Alicent questions in distress, still fighting for control against Y/n while speaking between the two sisters, distraught and unhinged, "What have I done but what was expected of me? Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law! While you and your sister flout all to do as you please!"
"Alicent, let her go!" Viserys demanded from outside the circle.
"Where is duty? Where is sacrifice?" Alicent's tears continued to fall down her face as her eyes search Y/n's while she screamed, "It's trampled under your pretty foot again!"
"Release the blade, Alicent," Rhaenyra demanded.
Alicent desperately tried to breathe, panting under Y/n's strength and her own despair, "And now you take my son's eye, and to even that, you feel entitled."
"Exhausting, wasn't it?" Y/n grunts, a jolt of pain running through her as she desperately tried to keep the point of the blade from her own eye, the flames of the fireplace dancing over the steel and her eyes, "Hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness."
Her voice lowers, glare dead set on Alicent's face, "But now they see you as you are."
Alicent pushes all her body weight and any strength she had left into pulling her arm out of Y/n's hold, grunting in rage as she freed the blade and made a swipe at the princess. Shock settles the room, Alicent stepping away to observe her handiwork, only for her eyes to immediately widen once she finally settled on what she had done.
Y/n had taken several steps away, the pain not entirely making itself aware until she heard gasps from all around. Corlys had caught her by the shoulders to steady the princess, noticing the way she was unconsciously clutching her arm. Both of them look down at the offending arm, noticing the blood soaking through Y/n's dress sleeve and spilling through her fingers. The blood droplets splatter onto the floor as Viserys stands beside Alicent, watching in horror as his little girl bleeds because of a wound his own wife inflicted. In her shock, Alicent's grip on the dagger loosens and the blade clatters to the floor, paying no mind to it as all she could do was stare at the cut in Y/n's arm.
Harwin had paused in terror before finally realizing that Y/n was still standing and breathing, the blade now out of danger. Shock draining from him, he pushes the Kingsguard off of him, the two soldiers too stunned to react and let go of him. Harwin pushes past his father and rushes to his wife, gathering her up in his arms and holding onto her wrist so that Corlys could properly inspect the wound from the other side of her. Y/n doesn't speak or react to her husband's hold on her, too stunned to do anything but stand and stare, leaning into Harwin for support. Both Osmund and Baelor break away from Rhaenys and run to their parents, holding onto their mother for dear life. With Criston Cole backing off, Daemon slowly walks forward until he is at Harwin's side, his hand on one of Osmund's shoulders. Rhaenyra pushes Ser Harrold away from her and also joins the Strong family along with Daemon and Corlys, the princess stepping in front of her sister and inspecting Y/n's face and then her wound. Watching as the blood continued to flow, Rhaenyra's posture slowly straightened, the rage of a dragon and a protective older sister taking hold. Unable to calm her anger, Rhaenyra breathes harshly through her nose and spun back around, glaring daggers at Alicent.
"You dare attack my sister!"
The room felt cold, despite the fire blazing hot beside the opposing families. Alicent couldn't bear to look Rhaenyra in the eye, so the princess moves her gaze onto her father, "Your Grace, I beg of you to open your eyes. Your wife just attacked one of your daughters born of our mother and of true Valyrian blood. She meant to bring harm to the princess and her unborn child."
Viserys eyes move to watch Y/n and her family tend to her, sadness and longing evident on his face as Rhaenyra bravely continued, "I am your heir, Your Grace," Viserys looks back to his eldest child, "But should anything happen to me, Y/n would take my place. Therefore, this attack on my sister is a treasonous act against the crown and your bloodline! If you are the honorable king that holds those who commit treason accountable... then no exception can be made for anyone of any station if you value your family and inspiring your loyal subjects."
Y/n slowly begins to come back to her senses, feeling the warm blood run down her arm and another warm liquid run down her legs. She pales as she tried focusing on the sound of Viserys' voice, trying not to panic, "It was a foolish action, Rhaenyra. But even you, as a mother, understand what it's like to protect your children. Alicent was only trying to avenge hers."
"By what? Killing my sister?" Rhaenyra's voice broke, eyes slowly starting to mist, "Carving out the child she carries?" Viserys flinched at that, "What happened to Prince Aemond's eye was a tragic accident. But this... this was intentional. Queen Alicent intended on spilling blood."
Rhaenyra hears a small cry of a kitten behind her, but upon spinning back around, she only saw Y/n clutching her stomach and slowly bending over, soft cries escaping her lips, and the men surrounding her bent down to the princess in confusion. Rhaenyra's eyes widen when she noticed a clear puddle beneath Y/n's skirts slowly pooling against the cobblestone to mix with the blood. Rhaenyra rushes towards her sister, forgetting Viserys and Alicent.
"Y/n?" Harwin's stomach dropped as the wheels began to turn in his head, eyes widening in realization.
"Mother? What's wrong?" Osmund asked innocently, holding onto his little brother.
"She's started her labors," Rhaenyra explains while letting her sister grip her arms tightly, "I wouldn't be surprised if the harrowing events of tonight spurred this on."
Daemon stood back from the group aiding Y/n, keeping a hand on his sword and an eye on anyone who may take this opportunity to pursue his family in a time of vulnerability. He stands guard while Rhaenyra and Harwin frantically help Y/n stand straight again, holding onto both of her arms. They wordlessly follow Corlys as he leads them out of the room and down the hall, back to Y/n and Harwin's chambers. Rhaenys thought it best to take Rhaena and Baela to Jacaerys and Lucerys' quarters where they were no doubt still sleeping through all of this. The older princess beckons the Strong boys to follow so that she might keep an eye on all of the children, unconsciously -or perhaps not- leaving the royal children out. When neither of Y/n and Harwin's sons moves, Daemon takes them both by the shoulder and directs them to follow Rhaenys, the Rogue Prince becoming a protective shadow for the children as Rhaenys whisks them away.
Corlys opens the doors to Harwin and Y/n's chamber and the Targaryen princess is brought inside, the Sea Snake calling for the maester along with the midwives who had traveled with the royal company. Rhaenyra and Harwin help Y/n get comfortable as another wave of pain takes over, the hair near her face beginning to stick to her skin as she tried taking deep breaths, exhaling shakily.
"I will stay with her, Ser Harwin," Rhaenyra vowed while dabbing a cool cloth over her sister's forehead, "You may go."
"I'm staying here," Harwin states confidently.
Y/n quickly grabs his hand through a contraction, squeezing hard as she pushes out words, "No no no, you need to go stay with the boys. We can't trust anyone with our sons for as long as we stay here."
"Y/n--"
"Alicent just threatened to pluck out Baelor's eye and attacked me," Harwin tried not to look, but clearly there was still blood seeping out of the cut on Y/n's arm. Y/n appeared to ignore this, trying to catch her breath, "I don't want my sons left alone for even a second until we leave. Harwin, please, go protect the boys. There's nothing you can do for me now."
Dutifully, he nods, standing over his wife and lingering a kiss on the top of her head before slowly backing away and leaving the room, practically forcing himself not to turn back as he goes hunting down his children.
A maester arrives and first looks into fixing the cut on Y/n's arm while the midwives attend to prepping for the baby, hurrying around the room in search of fresh clean towels and Milk of the Poppy. As promised, Rhaenyra stayed by her sister's side during the whole process, letting Y/n squeeze her hand as hard as she liked, whispering soft words of encouragement, and dabbing her face with a cool cloth.
For obvious reasons, Y/n didn't get any sleep that night, but neither could anyone else in the keep. Everyone was restless, even those unaware of Y/n's labors. After the events of the night, everyone was high-strung and uneasy, and some were downright afraid. Alicent returned to her chambers, never wanting to see a soul until morning. Viserys went to bed, but lay awake at night, guilt and remorse running through his veins. The royal children retired to their respective rooms, but they all stayed awake and Aemond even sat at the window, watching Vhagar in the distance with a smirk.
Daemon, Harwin, and Rhaenys continued to stay and entertain the children, tending to their bleeding faces and trying to make them forget their worries. Jace and Luke, none the wiser for what had happened, gladly entertained the idea of everyone staying up and having fun in their rooms, putting a smile on everyone's faces as they ran around and played. Daemon even found himself teaching all the children small bits of High Valyrian, boys and girls alike sitting down all around him with Baelor and a book in his lap. Baela sat next to her father, her head on his shoulder, trying to rest her eyes after everything that had happened to her today, the only one too exhausted to repeat her father's Valyrian phrases unlike the rest of the children.
Rhaenys sat and quietly listened to these lessons with a cup of wine in hand, while Harwin stood at the door, sometimes pacing, sometimes entertaining the children with stories. But not once, the entire night, did he leave his post at the door, his hand always on his hilt.
The moon had not yet disappeared but the sky was starting to brighten into beautiful colors over the ocean when the door opens and Harwin held onto his sword a little tighter. Everyone looks up with bated breath as Rhaenyra walks in, standing tall and regal as if she had not been awake all night.
"Mother!" Luke gasped excitedly while standing up and running to the princess.
She practically beams as he tightly hugged her waist, her eyes darting up to Harwin with delight, "Y/n's delivered a girl, and they're both going to be fine."
The whole room relaxes with relief, the last of the tension finally leaving the air and leaving them all understandably exhausted. Harwin's whole stiff posture relaxes as one of his hands rises to rub his face. Rhaenyra silently laughs, joy still evident on her expression, "The maester asks for only you to go and see her. Your sons can visit their mother once she's rested."
Harwin nods and swiftly leaves the room, while Rhaenyra turns to the rest of the family, "The royal family leaves Driftmark today, but with your permission, Princess Rhaenys, I think it would be wise if the rest of us stayed a little longer for Y/n and everyone else to get some much-needed rest."
Rhaenys agrees just as Laenor pops into the room, disheveled and groggy. He looks at everyone's expression with a puzzled look, finally turning to Rhaenyra, "What have I missed?"
Harwin makes it back to his chambers in record speed, trying not to appear hasty but also anxious to see his wife and their new daughter. Entering the room, a few of the midwives were cleaning up and leaving, the maester long since gone. Y/n was asleep in their bed, flushed with her silver-blonde hair curling around her head due to sweat, but a small bundle was nestled beside her, and it was squirming. Harwin stepped closer to the bed, making note of Y/n's arm now wrapped in bandages before inspecting the bundle of blankets, his smile softening by what he found.
The infant was small, her little cleaned face the only thing peeking out of the blankets aside from her tiny fingers slowly curling around the fabric as she slept. Like her brothers, she sported small fuzzy tufts of dark hair and even darker eyelashes. The baby girl's lips were slightly open, letting out soft hums as she dreamed. Harwin's heart had never fallen in love faster than it did at this very moment, his finger lightly caressing her cheek and amazed by the softness of her skin.
"My love."
Harwin's eyes drift over to his once slumbering wife, noticing her eyes have opened and she was tiredly smiling up at him. Overcome by relief and happiness, Harwin laughs under his breath before leaning over and kissing Y/n on the lips, taking her breath away. Eventually, he pulled away, his thumb running over her cheekbone.
"Amazing as always, my dear," he whispers, unable to resist kissing her forehead, "How are you?"
Y/n slowly blinks, humming, "Exhausted."
"You can rest. I say you've more than earned it."
Her eyes peek open again, "The boys?"
"Safe and sound. They are in good hands. Rhaenyra will bring them to you once you've healed," his hand grazes over her bandaged arm, "What did the maester say about this?"
"It was Valyrian steel. So the cut was clean. A scar will remain, I'm afraid."
"I will take a new scar over your death any day," Harwin kissed his wife's forehead again before carefully lifting the small bundle into his arms, attempting not to wake the baby. His smile widens once he's positioned her properly and naturally begins to rock, "Well, she's finally here. Have you thought about the names we picked?"
"I did... but none of them seem right now that I've met her."
"Well, do you have another one in mind?"
Y/n thought long and hard, fingers drumming against the feather pillow. She thought about tonight's events, how it had all started with Vhagar being stolen and Laena's memory insulted. To have those two things happen along with the attack in the Great Hall, it felt as though people had tainted the memory of a young and fierce woman who was taken from this world too soon.
"Laena," Y/n strongly announced, "I like to believe she was here with us this past night. I like to believe she protected us and she deserves to be honored now that I've delivered my daughter in her family's home."
Harwin stared down at their daughter, playing with the name on his lips as he watched her sleep, "Laena Strong. I like it."
~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Osmund was named after King Aegon I Targaryen’s Hand, Osmund Strong, who was assigned the Hand of the King after Orys Baratheon’s death. Baelor was named to reference Baelor the Blessed/Beloved, but it’s obviously not him since the original Baelor won’t be born until after the Dance of Dragons. Laena is obviously named after Vhagar’s true rider, aside from Visenya. I would have named Y/n’s daughter after Visenya, but spoiler alert, Daemon and Rhaenyra eventually have a daughter already named that. She’s probably the baby in Rhaenyra’s belly in Episode 8.

HOTD men with a big chested s/o
Tumblr media
- He would honestly try not to stare at your chest when you wear a dress that shows even the tiniest amount of cleavege.
- Aemond would try beeing respectful while you're in public,but gods, he goes FERAL when you're in your dress that has almost half your tits out for display. The prince would be staring,he would try to pay attention as you speak,he really would. It's just the sight in front of him is way to much for his prying eyes.
- Now of course, people would talk about you, about how you can be so 'indecent', he saw how you didn't care, but that didn't stop him from glaring at the said people,sending shivers down their spine. No one cares speaking I'll of you while your husband is around,unless they have a death wish.
- while you're in your private chambers, Aemond loves nothing more than laying his head on your chest, hearing your heart beat is so soothing for the white haired men, sometimes he amuses you. He loves how you run your hand trough his straight hair looks, massaging that right spot that gets him sleepy.
Now for the nsfw part 😊
- How he loves ,when you're on top, seeing your boobs move with your body as you ride him, he thinks it gets him even harder.
- He'd grope and fiddle with your nipples,pulling some sweet sounds out of your mouth.
- Occasionally, he'd take one in his mouth,while carefully paying attention to the other with his long slender fingers, twisting at your nipple while his mouth sucks ,and bites at the soft flesh. Your hands gripping at his hair as you move up and down his cock,soft moans leaving your lips.
- He just loves it when your all bare for him to see,to touch, to please.
Tumblr media
- This man has no shame in whatsoever. When he sees you ,even before beeing weeded,in that dress, to tight for your chest,boobs almost spilling out...well he's a dead man. You can have the most serious conversation with him,but his eyes would not look away from your chest. He doesn't even try to.
- You're lucky if he's in a good mood,cause lord, he sometimes can't resist the urges,and grabs your titty,in public. You can just hope no one saw this happen, cause your face is already red. And that shit eating grin that adorns his face once he did it,you just can't wait to scold him once you're all alone. Little do you know,it turns him on to see you scolding him,that serious expression on your face,tho of course he doesn't look at your face ,no ,his eyes are on your chest ,that happens to be right in front of him.
- He'd hear some men talk,when they believe he's not around. They would say inappropriate things about you, slut shame you,and oh boy. If you didn't know Daemon you'd think he was exaggerating,but the damage those men endured,well they sure will know to keep their tongue the next time(if they get to keep one).
- The prince could care less if someone else than him was staring,cause at the end of the day,he's the one who gets to fuck you,and noone else.
*NSFW
- Now when we're getting to the good part? Oh boy. He loves fucking you from behind ,one hand on your waist keeping you tightly as he pushes in and out of you, making you a moaning mess all for him. The other hand playing with your nipple, rubbing it and pinching it, drawing little squeals from you. The bastard smirks, satisfied with the way he makes you moan out his name in pleasure.
- Oh how he loves making you feel good, the way your nipples perk up in his touch,it's just makes him push harder and faster into you,hitting all the right places.
Tumblr media
- Now this man? He's OBSESSED with your chest.
- The moment you enter the ballroom,not even wearing a dress with that much cleavage,and he's feral for you. Just the shape and the way the dress clings tightly into your body drives him mad.
- He's the type of guy who would grope your chest in public,he'd even smirk after it. You'd slap his head anoyed,but stil,a blushing mess.
- Aegon would thirst over you so bad,he wouldn't even be able to take his eyes of you if you wore a dress that revealed even the tiniest amount of cleavege. And his mommy issues? They're on a diff level when your boobs are in game. Most of the time when the two of you are also,you wouldn't be able to get up, because our dear Aegon would hug your waist tightly,and lay his head on your chest. His sleeping form would sooth you, knowing he's so comfortable around you to be vulnerable. Your hands would pet his head gently, twirling at some little curls of his,while smiling.
*NSFW
- Just like his brother,he loves having you ride him,but the only difference is how his moans would spill from his mouth,that suck at your nipples greedily. Aegon would squeeze your ass,while the other would just grip your waist as you ride him, chasing your release.
- He'd leave hickeys on your tits ,then smile at his work. He would sometimes even bite them.
- Even so,he'd never degrade you,he knows you'd scold him and won't allow him to cum if he won't behave nicely.
- Even so, you're the best he'd ever have.
Tumblr media
- This dude would try to act like your whole body belongs to him(it Lowkey does).
- He'd make you wear as less clothing around your chest area as possible. After all Viserys gets off on your embarrassed expression.
- He loves making you feel as exposed and vulnerable.
- It's Canon that he has a superiority complex,so he would always make you do things that would result in you bending down for him, ordering you to clean his body,to get in the tub with him,just to see your exposed body.Just to feel in charge of you.
- The man would never admit he likes you for more than your body. To proud of himself to actually show emotions. So he just gifts you things, without any explanation you just wake up the next day with some jewelry on your bad.
- But when you would forcefully put his head on your chest, ordering him to relax for once...he just can't say no. The prince would just pout and remain the way you forced(he loves it) to stay.
*NSFW
- Sometimes Viserys would fuck you doggy style,just so he could squeeze your boobs while plunging into you. Your body will take each thrust, yearning for more,eyes squeezing so tight,face digging into the pillow, just heaven.
- He'd have you on missionary, watching your expression but also the way your boobs would move in rhythm with his thrust. The sounds escaping your mouth would be like honey for his ears. He'd grab your tits and squeeze them, something even fantasizing about fucking them.
.
.
.
Sooo, by the ending had a few drinks,I wrote the last parts drunk .
Aniways hope u enjoy,and yes I did sneak in Viserys. He's just to fine😭

Thank you for the request,hope you like it and let me know what you think!💕💕
•••••••••••••••••••
The earth awakes slowly,everything around is quiet,the melodious chirping of the birds out of the window glass and the sweet crashing of the waves on the shore were the most beautiful lullaby.
The sun was rising above the horizon,shining with his golden rays all over Dragon Stone who was still enjoying its peaceful slumber.It would be a beautiful day,no clouds in sight,sky bluer as ever and a comforting warmth touching every living creature on the small island.
A beautiful start for an awaited long summer,the one Y/n wished for.After several months of winter it was time for the cold and dark weather to retire and giving its place to the season of eternal sunshine and development.
Delicate golden light glowed on her skin,immaculate and soft,where he was tracing lines with his fingers,almost to pure to be corrupted.Y/n was still asleep,her cheek pressed on the white pillow and a peaceful expression on her beautiful face.
Her husband laid besides her like every morning,the gods have mercy on whoever will try to have his place and stealing away from the thing he begged on his knees for.Daemon remembered the day,when he and Y/n came back together,hand in hand,after winning the war in the Stepstones,and how after,the same night,he went to his brother chambers.
«You said i could have anything i wanted when i gave you my crown.»he told to the King«I want Y/n,wed her to me.»then his knees touched the cold stone floor,a pure gaze of love and devotion in his eyes was powerful enough to have his wish come true.
Purple orbs scrutinized her angelic face,memorizing and mapping every inch of her skin just like they always did.From the way her soft rosy lips were slightly parted,her silky silver hair,strands of moonlight spread on her pillow,and her closed eyelids the closed the world outside.
Such a beautiful and mesmerizing sight should be forbidden for a man like him,but here she was,laying on her side trying to gather some energy back.She need that,more than anyone at the moment.Daemon hands traveled down her arm,savoring the soft texture of her skin,and landing on the growing belly hidden under her nightgown.
Fortunately this pregnancy had been much easier than the last one,the one that gave them two beautiful daughters,twins, Aemma,named after Y/n mother,and Alyssa,named after Daemon’s one.This time Y/n had enough strength to still be able to ride her dragon and to not spend all of her time laying in bed.
Softly Daemon face disappeared in his wife warm neck,lips ghostly kissing the tender skin in attempt to wake her up.A quiet whine,similar to a light breath,left the back of her throat,a little smile was now present on her face as she titled her head to give him more access to continue.
«Good morning,my little storm.»he greeted her,lips still hovering the sensitive flesh on her neck,his arms wrapped around her waist bringing her closer to him as his hands made their way to her stomach again.
«Morning my love.»Y/n voice was still sleepy,her eyes were adjusting to the light in the room,trying to take in as much as she could of her husband handsome features.
Daemon pale blonde hair tickled her cheek and his warm breath on her skin gave her goosebumps all over.The nickname, “Little storm”,the way he used to call when she was little due to her impetuous behavior,made her giggle while she started to play with his hair.
When Daemon palm met the swollen belly a smile stretched on his lips«How did you two slept?»he asked,callous finger brushing and caressing where his child was growing.
«He didn’t move at all,he must have been very tired.»she informed him,humming sweetly and placing a hand over his.
Daemon chest warmed at her words«He’s already listening to his father.»he chuckled a bit.
Both of them wished and hoped for a boy,it was no secret for anyone at this point.Y/n wanted nothing more than a little boy,a little version of his father with beautiful lavander eyes,to love and protect for the rest of her life.
A few seconds later,just like a magical effect,a little kick was felt against Daemon palm melting his heart«That’s my boy.»he whispered with a stupid grin on his face.
Carefully Y/n brought herself closer to her husband,nuzzling the tip of her nose in his hair,airways filled in his sweet scents«I want our son to be born at the Red Keep.»she stated.
Daemon hand faltered,tiling his head up,concerning eyes meeting his wife hopefully ones«You are to give birth at any moment,it would be too dangerous.»he explained to her.
Y/n smiled a little,a sad and distressing expression as she almost choked on her next words«And my father would most likely to be dead by the time i will be able to travel again.»
A sour taste on her tongue and tears forming in the corner of her eyes,the ache in her heart beating furiously in her chest heavy like a stone as she thought of it.Her father had always been nothing but doting and sweet to her,as his second daughter of his beloved first wife,he didn’t care about anything else but to make sure that she was happy and well satisfied with her life.
With the hours spent working on their little Valyria model together,laughing while he narrated to her the tales of their ancestors.All the times she stood right next to him in the small council or in the throne room,because one day she would have been the hand of the Queen and needed to learn about political issues and how to help her sister ruling the realm.
Daemon closed his eyes for a moment,just yesterday he received a crow from the Queen who informed him about his brother worrying declining health.He understood her,Y/n wanted nothing more for her father to witness the birth of his grandson,and how desperately she wished for her child to be a boy to see the gleaming smile that her father had when he met Rhaenyra children.
She wanted to make him proud,his sweet little daughter,one last time with the desire that her father wished to make come true with her mother.
«To King’s Landing then.»they stood there,fingers intertwined over her belly,enjoying each other presence silently celebrating the future birth of they third child.Their first boy.
The travel to King’s Landing happened the next day,Y/n stood on the boat,her eyes up in the clear warm sky as she watched her two daughters flying above her head on their dragons,a hand caressing her big stomach as her husband brushed the hair off her face.
Daemon insisted to be on her side,with Caraxes and Blackfyre,Y/n dragon,flying along side Aemma and Alyssa.From the horizon,the immense sight of the Red Keep started to make its view as the Targaryen boat plowed the calm sea.
Her father was in his chambers,laying in his bed,as Y/n made her way to visit him as soon as she entered the castle.The room was silent,warm and the smell of milk of the poppy lingered all over the place.
She stepped quietly,her long maroon dress brushing against the cold floor,her hands trembling as she pulled away the white tent of her father bed.The king was there,a pale and ill face,a bald head with just some tufts of hair falling on his shoulders,black teeth and ad a white cloth covering the right side of his old and deterioreted face.
«Aemma?»her father voice came out with a choked breath as he opened his eye and looked at blurred figure.
Y/n heart ached in her chest,the memory of her late mother,the whole she had left behind,was still present after all this years«Father»she addressed him with a sweet voice«It’s me,Y/n.»her warm and young hands took his cold and shivering ones,caressing the skin with her thumbs.
«Oh,my Y/n.»her father eyes watered just like hers,his voice broken with emotions«My beautiful daughter.»he called her close to place a wet kiss on her forehead.
«Where are your girls?»he asked then trying to look around the room in search for his granddaughters.
Y/n wiped the tears in her eyes,smiling«They are with me and they will come to visit you soon with someone new.»she told him.
With her father confused expression,of someone who forgot,Y/n brought his hands to her stomach«Your grandson.»
«A boy?»her father cried out.
She nodded«It will be this time,i promise you.»
Her father let go of her hand,shaking his head with a painful whine coming from his lips«Do not make my same mistakes.All of my life i chased a foul dream when everything that i needed was right there before my eyes.»he told her.
Y/n never realized how persistent had become her wish for a son,her wish to give his father what he didn’t have for years,a boy he would have cared about and loved just like he was his.It felt like she owned him a son,being born with a dead twin brother,Y/n,a daughter,came to the world instead of the heir her father longed for.And right now it felt like it was her duty to give tho world a beautiful Targaryen boy for the one that she stole.
«This boy will not be a mistake,father.He will be our blessing.»
The water in the bathtub was warm,almost boiling,but that was the temperature that a dragon needed.
Y/n was sitting there,her back pressed against her husband naked chest,while his hands were caressing her belly with a wet cloth.Hours after she had visited her father,Daemon ha spoke to the Grand Maester asking him of a way to ease Y/n before her time came.A warm bath seemed like the best option,so the rough prince didn’t waste anytime to prepare one.
She hummed quietly,closing her eyes and tasting the relived sensation«Thank you for letting me having time alone with him.»she whispered.
Daemon kissed the back of her head,where her hair were tied up,the smell of roses and cinnamon and the little babbles tickled his skin«How was he?»he asked with a calm voice.
Different,she wanted to answer him.An empty shell of a man was what there was left behind of her father and it pained her.
«He was happy to see me.»she said,the lump in her throat felt thick as she nuzzled her head in her husband neck to seek comfort.
Daemon forced a smile on his lips,planting them on Y/n warms one«He will be happy to meet his grandson too.»he murmured against them.
Y/n didn’t said anything,at this point she didn’t knew anymore.From the moment she was pregnant again in her bones and in her heart she was sure it was gonna to be a boy,but right now,maybe,it was just her blind desire to speak to her just like it did to her father.
«Viserys.»she has said then all of the sudden,in her mind the vivid imagine of her father.
She felt Daemon confused expression behind her as he was holding her close to him«I want our son to be named Viserys.»
It happened during the first light in the morning,the sun was rising behind the hills of King’s Landing when the Red Keep was awakened by the cries of a new life coming to this earth.
The first day of summer,when the air smelled like sea salt,the weather was warm and the city started to live again,little prince Viserys Targaryen was placed in his mother loving embrace.
Daemon was sitting behind Y/n,holding her back up during the entire labor and caressing her sweaty skin whispering in her ears comforting words«It’s him,it’s our Viserys.»he said,his eyes were sparkling with hot tears.
Y/n heart was hammering into her chest,her vision blurred with tears as she looked down at the small bud in her arms.He was absolutely perfect,from his little nose,white tufts of hair on his head and innocent lilac eyes,her son was everything she dreamed for.But then,just like a horrible memory,she remembered the only time she had the chance to hold her younger brother,Baelon,before his soul would have left this life the next day.
«Is he healthy?»Y/n asked holding her son closer to her.
The midwife nodded«The healthiest boy i’ve ever seen,princess.»she reassured her.
«I’m so proud of you.»her husband whispered to her,kissing the side of her face.
She smiled,handing her son to the midwife that confused took him in her arms.The baby started to cry again,pitching screams filled the room,missing his mother soft touch.
«What are you doing?»Daemon asked,concerns all over his face.
«Help me to get up.»Y/n urged him searching hurriedly for his hands.
Her legs felt like they were about to melt under her,the pain between her legs and her desire to just close her eyes and sleep for the entire day to gain back some strength disappeared completely.Tossed side to her aim,letting her father meet his grandson.
Daemon was on his feet immediately,helping Y/n on hers,holding her tired and trembling form to prevent her to hurt herself«You need to rest.»he told her.
«I have all my life for that.»she said with a strained and hoarse voice«My father doesn’t and i promised him that he would had met his grandson.»two servants girl were called in,one of them drying Y/n sweaty face and the other helping her to dress.
Her husband sighed with sad eyes as he walked slowly besides her,step by step till the King room.
«Y/n?»Alicent surprised voice was the first thing they heard once they entered the room«What are you doing here?You should be resting.»she sounded worried as he hurried in her way,holding her other arm for support.
«That’s what i told her.»Daemon muttered under his breath.
The princess shook her head,holding her son up to her chest as her step mother and husband accompanied her to where her father was.
The King was still laying in his bed,his eyes half closed«Y/n?»he asked confused when he saw his daughter coming closer.
She hissed in pain«Father»she called him«There is someone we wish to introduce to you.»her sweet voice sounded full of happiness.
Her father eyes darted to his daughter husband for a second,relived to see him for the last time«Daemon.»he greeted him.
He did the same,hiding his pained expression to see his brother in that state«Brother,this is your grandson,Viserys.»he announced.
And for him there was nothing more beautiful that the result of an undying love,nothing more perfect that his grandson little face as he looked up at him,nothing warmed his heart more than being able to witness what his daughter promised to him.
«Viserys»he tasted the name on his tongue«a name fit for a king.»

“To the Lands of Old Valyria” | Daemon Targaryen
Pairing: Daemon Targaryen x Reader
Warnings: Angsty, but not really triggery 
A/N: This was written in a few hours on a Sunday night, so it isn’t proofread, but I decided to post it anyway. Enjoy some angsty bitchy attention whore boy. 
Tumblr media
“It is good you consider this funny.” Daemon Targaryen spits the words out through gritted teeth as he turns his burning violet eyes to the woman next to him. His reaction seems to amuse her, which in his turn angers him some more. “I certainly do not.”
She makes an obvious effort to erase the grin from her features, pursing her soft lips together, but still fails miserably. We must all grieve our own way. “I would never jest about anything as serious, my prince.” Her eyes turn to the wall and she breaks, her lips stretching to a toothy grin. “But you have to admit this is hilarious.”
Daemon has enough of it already. He pushes himself from the chair, so hard he makes the silverware on the table rattle, and makes his way to the window. It was suffocating him, the room, the castle, the whole gods forsaken city. He could saddle Caraxes and…
“It is even so practical, you see, instead of two separate weddings,” his thoughts are interrupted and he turns around to look at her, her eyes focused on the ceiling, as if she is deep in thought, “we could simply have one. Good old Otto should be made Master of Coin, don’t you think?”
Otto Hightower. He was going to kill him. One day, sooner than later, he would drag him down the corridors of the Dragon Pit, beaten and bloodied, and feed him to the beasts.
“Do you think my new Lord Husband would wonder if I am a maiden, or he won’t be that stupid?” Her last words make him physically sick. The thought of some other man’s hands on her is one thought too many and the look he gives her is enough to finally, oh gods finally, silence her. The moment she shuts her mouth, her face changes and he finally sees it. The fear, the desperation, like an animal cornered. The realisation that this is really happening. 
“They are really making us go through with this, aren’t they?” She asks, her voice is throaty, like she is choking back the tears. She is going to marry some lord far in the North and he would get to spend the rest of his days in Runestone, in the bloody Vale. If he isn’t so angry, he thinks, he might even feel sorry for himself. 
One look at his lady’s teary eyes makes that thought leave his head immediately. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Viserys nod fervently to the plan his Hand had presented, the fine and rich match Lady Rhea Royce was for the younger brother of the king. What about me? Can’t you once listen to what I have to say? I am your brother, for fuck’s sake! And marrying off his paramour right away, taking her to the other end of the Continent, what a sick, cruel joke that was, nothing to do with politics, but only for the sake of wounding him. Can’t you see how she makes me feel? Otto already took his place by his brother’s side away from him, he would now take his lover away as well. Gods, he really hated him.
His eyes dart down, his thoughts interrupted when he feels her arms wrap around him, her face burying in his chest as her body shakes in silent sobs. He places a kiss on the top of her head, pulling her even closer to him, as if he let go, she would disappear. Which, when he thinks about it, isn’t really far from the truth. 
“I am not going to let it happen,” he declares, raising his hands to caress her hair. “I’ll let them all know I took your maidenhood and no one would want to take you anymore. ”
The words earn him a muffled laughter, and when she looks up at him, her chin resting on his chest, her eyes are wet and puffy. “How noble of you indeed.”
“I will, then I will take you and Caraxes and get far away from here, somewhere East, to the lands of old Valyria and then… ” Then what? They both knew those were empty words, empty promises of a desperate man. 
“Please, let us talk no more of this.” She begs, resting her cheek against his chest again, letting a deep sigh. “Let us stay like that… just for a while.” And he doesn’t speak a word more, letting her presence soothe the pain that the future was bringing, silently swearing in the Old Gods and the New that he would not let anyone take her away from him. And make that sorry bastard Hightower wish he was never even born.

Chapter 27 Million years
Tumblr media
Chapter 27 of Moonlight
A/N- Are they finally gonna get together?
Warning- Swearing, angst, talks of death, fluff!! and SPOILERS for future events of HOTD!!!!
Pairing- Cregan Stark x Velaryon!fem-reader, Aemond Targaryen x Velaryon!fem-reader
Episode- After 1x09, events based off of Fire and Blood
(If you want to be tagged let me know)
————
*A FEW WEEKS LATER*
“The scouts have not sent any new reports on Alys, but they’ve heard rumors spreading about a babe with scales and a tale being born to a witch.”
You hum in comprehension and look out the balcony to think about what was just said to you.
They probably won’t find her, she’s smart, and she’s lived for a long time for that reason. Is it worth it to keep looking for someone who can see visions? There’s so much on your plate already too; annoying Lords, being Queen, the wedding, the rest of the Martell family, and Dorne’s most respected lords coming for the wedding. And it’s not like you can undo what she did, you should have known better than to trust her. Plus you’re beginning to lack enough anger to try and chase after her around the Riverlands.
She may rot—
Suddenly you lose all train of thought as you catch Cregan down below walking, talking, and smiling with the black-haired beauty that is Lady Alysanne Blackwood. She’s so close to him, basically rubbing arms, she’s batting her eyelashes at him, and he’s flashing his charming rare smiles. He’s—
You had to let him go, it was better to let him go, but you still can’t help but feel…jealous. You feel it deep in your stomach. You feel slight anger growing within you at the sight of the pair, at the thought that they make a good couple. They make a more plausible couple too.
But you still want that to be you at his side, you still want to see him smile and look at you with a soft and loving look, and you want to laugh with him without having to hide. You still want to be at his side, you want to be her…
But you can’t. You can’t be together and you have to accept that—you accept it, besides you’re getting married soon and so far Prince Namor isn’t terrible…
Life was so much easier when you were with Aemond. Your only desire then was to see your mother and brothers again, you didn’t have any significant concerns. It was easy with Aemond and you only realize that now.
“Your Grace?”
“Hm?” You hum and pull your eyes away from Cregan to look at one of your new ladies-in-waiting helping you with the wedding.
“Which design for the wedding dress’s cape do you prefer?” She asks.
You spare one last glance at Cregan and Lady Alyssane, and frown with displeasure before you look at the designs the designer has drawn up. They’re all beautiful, one is red adorned with gold, and the other one is long and shaped like dragon wings. You’ll probably go with the latter.
“Have this one brought,” you point to the dragon wing cape and slowly look out the balcony again and still see Cregan and Alyssane.
It’s like he’s torturing you. You hate it, you hate seeing him with her. But you have to—
“Ser Crane,” you cut off your lady-in-waiting to address the Lord Commander of your Queensguard, a tall muscular man, with a stern face, a shaved head, a dark goatee, and a kind heart. “I request the presence of Lord Stark right away.”
The man bows his head and quickly heads on out, letting you focus back on your lady-in-waiting. “The dragon wing one is fine, have the second dress brought, I really don’t mind, it’s my third wedding I just want to get it over with.”
The lady looks at you a bit puzzled at your lack of excitement, but does as you ask, letting you wait for Cregan in the parlor room.
Considering he wants to stay here until the kingdom is somewhat stable you see a lot of him. A lot. He’s at every council meeting, he’s at every hearing, if you’re out in the city he is too, he’s like your Hand or a Queensguard. Without actually having the titles.
You like that he is but you also don’t like it because he’s a temptation. Plus Prince Namor and him don’t get along so well.
And well, you understand why Cregan wouldn’t like him, but you don’t understand why Prince Namor doesn’t like Cregan, it’s not like you talk to Cregan a lot in public. In private? Yes, he likes to come visit Daenerys, and he can’t exactly spend time with her alone because people would talk, so you’re always there acting like you need his help. But other than that you don’t know why Prince Namor is so hostile—does he see something?
Nevertheless, a knock raps on the door, and when you welcome the visitor you see exactly who you need, Cregan.
“Your Grace,” he greets and bows.
You cross your leg over the other and offer him a faint smile. “Lord Stark,” you greet formally as your Queensguard walks out. “Sorry, my request is so sudden. I hope you weren’t busy.” You offer him a wider smile and watch him come sit down across from you.
“Well,” he says. “Whenever you call, I come. So no, I was not busy.”
The room's doors close and Cregan looks around. “Where’s Daenerys?” He asks.
You grab your goblet of wine and shake your head. “Not here. This is about another matter.” You take a sip and meet his grey eyes as he looks at you with curiosity. “This is actually about the Night's Watch.”
Cregan leans in and props on hand on his leg to probe. “What about it?”
You made a promise, so you will see through to that promise, or at least prepare the next ruler if it doesn’t come true in your lifetime.
“How many people are posted in the Night’s watch, at all castles? Just a rough estimate,” you continue to ask without actually being clear about anything.
Cregan sits back and shrugs. “Not much, perhaps just under one thousand men, or even less…why the sudden interest?” He presses. “Royalty doesn’t really bother to care for the Night’s watch.”
You swallow thickly and avert your gaze.
You know you can trust him, you know that the smart thing would be telling a Stark as well, after all the threat comes from the distant North, they deserve to know. But it’s difficult speaking about something told to you by your mother.
“Do you remember the stories you’d tell me?” You begin slowly. “About what may live beyond the wall?”
Cregan nods. “Yes, just children's stories.”
You exhale deeply and meet his gaze. “What if they aren’t just stories? What if…something like the Long Night happens again?”
Cregan blinks repeatedly in disbelief and his lips twitch to a teasing smile. “It won’t, it can’t be possible. The first member of the Night's watch drove them away. But again, it’s just a story.”
You put the goblet down and lean forward so he can see you’re being serious. “Cregan, listen to me. I'm being serious. And you can’t tell anyone, I wasn’t allowed to tell you, it’s a secret passed from Targaryen ruler to heir, so please guard this secret with your life.”
Said man narrows his eyes and his teasing smile falls. He doesn’t hesitate to assure you, mostly because he thinks you’re somehow joking. “I swear.”
You exhale deeply. “Long ago,” you begin. “My ancestor, King Aegon, had a dream. A prophecy of the end of the world of men that begins with a terrible winter gusting out of the distant North.”
Cregan swallows back nervously and you see his shoulders tense.
“Aegon saw darkness riding on those winds,” you continue. “And whatever hides within will destroy the land of the living. And when this Great Winter comes, all of Westeros must stand against it. And if the world of men is to survive it a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. Someone strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the darkness. So that's why I ask, the Night's Watch is our first line of defense, it may not happen in my lifetime, or in any of my children’s lifetimes, but I still made a promise. I can’t fail her, nor can I fail them.”
Cregan drops his head and brushes his fingers through his hair.
“I know,” you add softly. “It’s hard to believe. But you have to believe me. I wouldn’t toy with this.”
Cregan stays quiet for a moment before he snaps his head up and meets your gaze with a narrowed look. “You believe the prophecy?” He asks. “With your heart?”
You don’t hesitate, you nod. “I do.”
Cregan raises his chin and nods. “Then I believe you too.”
You smile and sigh with relief. “Thank you.” You whisper.
“What do you want me to do then?” He asks.
You sigh. “We can’t force people to man the castles, one it might not happen anytime soon, two, people don’t volunteer like before. But I will try from my end to send prisoners to the Night's watch. What I need from you are reports from every exploration the men have. As boring as they may be, I can’t risk missing something.”
Cregan nods in comprehension. “I will do it. But you must visit them too, you know? Just as Queen Alysanne did.”
You grin softly. “I will. I mean I do have a dragon to travel far so I will,” you assure him. “We often tend to forget the Night’s watch. I will try not to.”
“And…” Cregan adds with a growing smile. “You stop by and visit me too. Winterfell will always be your home. It can be.”
“Cregan,” you warn him.
“You’re still not married, why can’t—”
“I just said one reason,” you cut him off. “Besides even if there wasn’t a reason, would you have left your home behind, your land, and people to become King?” You ask seriously.
Cregan’s smile falls and his face grows hard and serious. “No,” he answers bluntly.
You scoff softly and nod slowly. “Exactly. So please just don’t bring it up again. I still want to be your friend.”
Cregan holds your gaze for a moment before he scoffs and looks away and shakes his head. You’re about to question him, but a knock raps on your door so you’re left in tension.
“Come in,” you address the visitor.
The door opens and you look over and see…Rhaena.
The annoyance and tension you just felt falls completely and your eyes fill with happy tears.
You haven’t seen her since the war started. You’ve heard of her from letters or other people’s mouths, but it’s been so long. You thought you would never see her again, you feared something would happen to her even if she was in a safe place.
“Rhaena,” you muse and jump off your seat to run over to her. She matches your pace and meets you halfway with an embrace.
“Y/N,” she whispers.
She’s one of the few family members you have left. One of the two people you grew up with. Your home was when you were with your mother, with your brothers too, so you’ll never feel at home anymore, but with Baela and Rhaena still alive there’s a sense of safety you do feel.
“Why…” you trail off and pull back to face her. “Why wasn’t I told you were here already?” You ask.
Rhaena smiles. “We wanted it to be a surprise. Baela says you’d appreciate it.”
You flash her a grin and nod. “I do—and your hatchling. You have a dragon now!”
Rhaena nods and pulls away to glance back at the crate that’s brought in by a servant. You were so distracted with her that you failed to notice her servants.
“Wait,” you cut her off and glance back at Cregan standing by the table you were just at. “I should introduce you to someone first.” You wave Cregan over, and he quickly makes his way to your side.
“Rhaena this is Cregan Stark,” you introduce him. “An old friend and Lord of Winterfell, of course. Cregan, this is my cousin, Lady Rhaena Targaryen.”
Cregan bows his head out of respect and Rhaena smiles at him.
“It’s nice to finally meet you, Lady Rhaena,” he says. “The Queen here would speak fondly of you when she lived in Winterfell.”
You grin wider, and Rhaena looks between Cregan and you before she focuses on Cregan. “It’s nice to meet you too, Lord Stark.”
“I hope to make your acquaintance whilst my stay here,” Cregan adds. “Your sister is quite the spitfire, I’m interested in getting to know you too.”
Rhaena laughs softly. “Likewise.”
Cregan sighs and faces you. “I’ll see you later, My Queen.” He bows and then bows his head at Rhaena before he leaves. Once he’s out the door you follow Rhaena to the table and watch her open the crate to then pull out a small pink and black hatchling.
“Oh gods,” you muse excitedly. “Look at it!”
“Her name is Morning,” she reveals and turns to show her off to you.
You reach over and caress her scaled head and beam at her. “You may be our savior,” you tell the little dragon. “I’m happy for you Rhaena,” you direct at your cousin. “I know how much you’ve dreamed of having one, I’m glad you finally bonded with one. It’s a great pleasure.”
“Thank you. And I’m happy too, I can’t wait to ride her,” she muses.
You hum and step back. “It’s really the best thing in the world. How is she? Does she eat? Sleep well?” You ask since there are so few dragons left now. Greyghost flew away after Ser Jason’s death, and Silverwing and Astraea are the only ones that are left in King’s Landing. Two out of so many that were alive.
“Yes, she’s doing well, she’s healthy,” Rhaena assures you as you walk over to sit on the couch to take advantage of the fact that you’re not being swamped. “Is Astraea doing well?”
You nod. “Very. She’s healed well.”
“And Lord Stark?” She asks and catches you off guard. “First name bases?”
You avert your gaze and shrug. “Yes, we lived together for five years. Of course, we go by each other's first names.”
Rhaena walks over with a smile and her dragon draped on her shoulder. “Hm…okay, your eyes and smiles say otherwise.”
You glare at her. “You’ve been here for just a few minutes what—Baela.”
Rhaena smirks. “You burned half the city this is just some free punishment.” She rebuttals.
You scoff and go serious. “What do you think about that? Baela is upset, she’s calmed down a bit since then, but she’s still upset. What are your thoughts?” You ask on the matter.
Rhaena draws out a deep breath and frowns with sadness. “I think you could’ve done things differently. But I also know that sometimes the most ugly things have to be done. I know…my father would’ve approved.”
You scoff with amusement.
“I know that Rhaenyra could’ve used more fire…perhaps then she would still be alive,” she mumbles with a hint of sadness in her tone. “So I think you did what you had to do. Besides you did it already we can’t take it back, we have to move on. Right?” She asks and meets your gaze.
You hold her gaze for a moment before you nod softly and feel your breath tremble as you breathe out. “About that…I was waiting for you to come…” you trail off and feel your eyes water, your throat begin to burn, and you feel your chest get heavy. “…so we could hold a funeral for my mother. I know you were close to her, so I thought you’d want to be there. Prince Namor said it’d be healthy, so I want to have one.”
A short silence follows before Rhaena interjects quietly. “That would be nice…I would be honored to be there. Thank you for waiting for me.”
You keep your head down to avoid seeing the nightmare flashes and memories that threaten to show. “No problem…it’ll be before the wedding,” you mention shakily.
“Y/N—”
“It’ll be okay,” you cut her off to avoid falling into that hole. “I’m okay.”
——
*LATER*
“Your Grace, The Lannisters are approaching and should arrive by nightfall. And the Baratheons will be here this evening.”
You look at Ser Crane through the long mirror and nod in comprehension. “Thank you, Ser, and if I’m not here by the time the Baratheons have my grandfather set up their welcome according to their status.”
The Lord Commander nods and turns stiffly to walk out. And while he was walking out one of your ladies in waiting walks in with a bouquet of Blue Winter Roses.
“My Queen,” she says with excitement in her voice as she approaches you. “These are for you from an old friend they said.”
You turn away from the mirror and take the bouquet from her hands. You read the notecard and even if it doesn't say a name you know it can only be from one person. One person knows that out of every flower in the world, these are your favorite, Cregan. Only he knows that these flowers are a symbol of your love.
So what do the flowers mean this time? He gave you some for your wedding tournament to show his love, to show you aren't forgotten. And this time what else can they be but another symbol?
It’s a symbol of hope now too. They’re a temptation you finally start to give into as your grief is crashing into you a lot stronger than before as you dress in all black to say one last goodbye to the woman you loved. They serve only to bring out this deep desire of wanting him to shield you from that pain, of wanting him to hold you until you feel an ounce of comfort back in your limp heart.
You want to be with him, and these winter roses are like a sign to give in and sacrifice everything just to be in his arms and go back to a place where you had felt happy once before. They’re a declaration of love and an offer.
And you’re in so much agony, you feel it now eating away at you as each second brings you closer to lighting her pyre. You just want some relief…
So you look up from the flowers in your hand and break into a stride to go to him. You feel eager and selfish. Like a fragment of who you used to be could return at the sight of him in this very moment.
However, the door opens for a third time and Prince Namor walks in, so you stop in your tracks and drop your smile.
“Those are beautiful.”
You made her a promise. You remember now at the sight of your betrothed.
“Who are they from?” He asks.
You blink and offer him a faint smile. “An old friend,” you mutter and turn to put the winter roses down on the table.
“Oh, well, they’re beautiful,” he says as he follows you back to the mirror. “Anyway, your cousins are ready. Are you?”
You pick up your mother's valyrian steel necklace from the cushion and sigh deeply as you remember her wearing it.
“Yeah,” you agree softly. “I am ready.”
——
*25 YEARS LATER. 156 AC*
What good is peace if all you wear is mourning attire?
“Today with these ashes we spread, may he return to the sand, may he return to the earth…”
Ashes fall from the septon's hands and trinkle onto the sand below. You follow the particles of what had remained of your husband until it mixes with the grains of sand.
“…may he give life to what sprouts so that his legacy lives on forever in the hearts and minds of the four children he leaves behind, Prince Maekor, Princess Valaena, Prince Laenor, and Prince Rhaegar. And so his wife, her grace, Y/N Targaryen carries him on forever in her heart.”
You sigh and keep your eyes on the ashes that mix with the sand below, and then feel a hand carefully wrap around yours. When you glance over you meet the dark eyes of your youngest son with Prince Namor, Rhaegar. The boy named after your mother, you offer him a faint smile and give him a reassuring squeeze.
“May he meet his ancestors and continue to watch over his kin. May Prince Namor of House Martell find peace!” The septon shouts. You look up at him and then hear snickering, so your attention drifts to your right side and you see your second youngest son, Prince Laenor, snickering at his brother since he sees him holding your hand. You think nothing wrong with it though, Namor was their father, he was a good one at that, and Rhaegar is like Lucerys, sensible and more open to showing and receiving affection.
Thus you shoot Laenor a glare and he quickly drops his smirk and goes quiet, and once he does you point to his older sister, Princess Valaena as she stood crying for the father she lost. Laenor understands what you want and even if he sighs he steps forward to wrap his arm around his sister, making her husband Lord Ellis Blackwood pull his arm off her shoulder to hold her hand instead.
You smile at the interaction of your daughter and her husband. They’ve been married for three years now, but seeing how kind and smitten he is with her still surprises you and brings you joy as if it were the first time seeing it. And you know you react like that because of your fear of marrying your children outside of Targaryen, and or Velaryon families. You only accepted this match because Lord Ellis is the eldest son of Bloody Ben, the man-boy you fought alongside at Tumbleton, the man-boy who had retrieved Addam’s body.
Other than that, all your other kid marriages are kept between the Targaryen’s and Velaryon’s, you don’t want to make the same mistake your grandfather Viserys made when he married Alicent.
It’s why your Hand was Baela for a few years until none other than your little brother, Viserys returned a few years back. With a wife, you wouldn't approve of, but she’s gone now and her family was basically his captor when he came back, without her they wouldn’t let him stay. It was smart but regardless, he’s your Hand now. He’s smart, tactical, and kind.
His kids though…more specifically his eldest, is something else, but that’s besides the fact.
What matters now is that you are a widow for a third time. It’s unfortunate that you had to be Aegon's widow, but at least now that title is gone and you’re Namor’s widow now. It’s bad to point out, but this new loss has your mind raveled. Not like when your mother or the rest of your family died, but after you spend 25 years with someone it has to affect you in some way. Especially when you had 4 more children with him.
But it’s those 4 children, plus the other three, that don’t make you fall into that pit you were stuck in before. They keep you upright now, and they’re all the ones that make you feel your heart again. Instead, you are there for them as they grieve their father. You comfort them as best as you can as you get taken back to the Red Keep.
Once you’re inside and attending the banquet in Namor’s name you approach Valaena.
“Forgive me, mother,” she interjects in a shaky voice.
You furrow your eyebrows and cup her cheek to dry away her tears. “Whatever for?” You query.
“Crying, for not being strong, especially in front of everyone,” she reveals, making you scoff softly.
“Oh my sweet girl, it’s okay to cry, he was your father,” you assure her. “You can cry as much as you want to.”
“But you’re strong,” she says and holds your other hand.
You smile and shake your head. “When I lost my own father I was inconsolable, I wanted to jump off the ship that was taking me to Winterfell to see your grandfather's resting place. I was anything but strong. So it’s okay.”
Valaena lets out a shaky sigh and offers you a soft smile.
“Now,” you add and slide your hands down to grab her hands. “How are my grandchildren?” You ask and look at her swollen belly. “Five more months to go.”
Valaena grins. “They’re great, moving, and with strong heartbeats. The both of them.”
“Great, I’m glad.”
“Prince Aerion of House Velaryon! Lord of Driftmark and Lord of the Tides!” The guard announces.
You and your daughter share a short glance before you turn and watch your only son with Aemond and the proof of your love comes waltzing in late.
Your guests greet him as they make a path towards you and your family, and he redirects that greeting with a formal smile. But when his blue eyes land on you and the rest of his siblings his grin widens, and one person quickly pushes himself out of his seat and runs around the table to greet him.
“Aerion!” Your eldest son with Namor, Maekor, shouts excitedly.
Said man chuckles and changes his pace to a jog as Maekor runs down the steps and runs to his brother. When they meet halfway, Maekor jumps on his brother, and Aerion doesn’t hesitate to squeeze him back.
“Maekor! Brother!” Aerion greets and lets his brother go.
Ever since your first child with Namor was born you made it your job that they got along, that they all got along and didn’t treat each other like Aemond and Aegon treated your mother. Your kids fought, of course they did, but they never hated themselves like your mother and her siblings.
“Aerion!” Laenor shouts and runs over followed by Rhaegar, while Valaena and Daenerys stay with you to wait for Aerion to finish greeting his brothers
“He’s late,” Daenerys mutters. “And where’s Daenys?”
“Probably getting here even more late,” Valaena counters.
You hum in agreement and watch as the three boys huddle around their older brother
“Which reminds me,” Valaena interjects. “The Stark’s didn’t come.”
You glance at your daughter at the mention of that infamous name and then look down to think about Cregan.
It’s been so long since you’ve seen him, ten years perhaps? Maybe even more? You really wanted to see him, he’s a widow too, longer than you have been.
“Mother!”
You snap your eyes up and see Aerion approaching with his arms open, but you place a hand on your hip and shoot him a pointed look.
“You’re late,” you point out as he wraps his arm around you. “Three days late.”
Aerion presses kisses on the side of your head to try and make you forget, and it works because you hug him back and when you pull away you grab his jaw. “I missed you,” you tell him, making him grin. “Where’s Daenys?”
Aerion sighs and pulls away, his smile falls and he looks at his sisters. “Well,” he adds. “Uh, Daenys stayed in Driftmark because she gave birth.”
You gasp and grab his arm. “Birth? It’s a month too soon,” you stammer out.
“Is she okay?” Daenerys asks right away.
Aerion nods. “Yes, she’s just recovering. She’s okay. Both her and our son.”
You sigh with relief but you still pinch him. “Why didn’t you say anything? You should’ve sent a Raven.”
Valaena steps forward to smack his arm. “Why didn’t you start off by saying she’s okay? Jerk.”
Aerion chuckles. “Well, it wouldn't have mattered, you all still would’ve worried. Anyway, she’ll come in a week or two. I came early to be with you,” he directs at his sister's, mainly at Valaena. “I don’t remember my father, but I do know longing. And it does get better, Valaena.”
Valaena offers him a gentle smile and they hug before he hugs Daenerys. She’s actually about to say something, but then Aerion gently pushes her away as he spots Ser Crane.
“Old man,” he greets. “You get older every time I see you.”
Ser Crane huffs. “Yet it’s possible I might outlive you, my Prince.”
Aerion grins and pats his shoulder when he sees him and then moves past him when he spots Valaena’s husband.
“Ellis!” He shouts before he runs over to embrace him and pats his back.
“Aerion, buddy, we've been waiting for you!”
You watch your other sons huddle around the pair and turn to walk to Lord Cane.
“He says Daenys gave birth,” you mention and watch your nieces approach their respected partner. “That’s why he’s late.”
“The boat has been here since this morning,” he rats Aerion out without hesitation. “He was probably sleeping or joined in some tournament.”
You scoff. “I don’t know where he gets these tendencies from, his father was never like this.”
“His uncle was—”
“I’ll burn you,” you cut him off before he could say Aegon’s name, making him chuckle.
“I’ll talk to him,” Lord Crane assures you and passes you your goblet of wine.
You shake your head. “Don’t waste your breath, he’s almost 30, he won’t learn anymore. He’s got a thick head.”
Lord Crane chuckles.
You smile and take a drink of your wine before you change the subject. “I’m going to make rounds.” You turn, and he mirrors your actions to follow you to the first Lord and Lady you see, but then the guard at the entrance interrupts you.
“Lord Cregan of House Stark, Lord of the Winterfell, and Warden of the North.”
You gasp softly and snap your eyes to the door, catching him, Cregan, your old friend, and love your life, walking down the steps with his men and a young lady you assume is one of his daughters Lord Alyssane gave him during their marriage.
Everyone watches the mighty Lord with his fur cloak over his broad shoulders and body that's grown more toned over the years. But through the sea of people, he finds you.
Cregan’s grey eyes find you as he makes his way to you first. And when he reaches you, your heart skips a beat as if it were the first time you’ve seen him. He proceeds to bow and the young lady beside him does too.
“My Queen,” he greets.
You hand the goblet of wine back to your Lord Commander and when Cregan straightens out, you offer him a kind smile. “Lord Stark,” you greet sweetly.
“My condolences on the loss of your husband,” he says first. “I knew the prince consort briefly, but all I heard were great things.”
You sigh. “Thank you, Lord Stark. I’m glad we could see you. Even if it is at the banquet,” you say bluntly.
Cregan’s serious expression breaks as he smiles. “Yes well, there was a storm that damaged our ship, and when we changed to a carriage our carriage broke a wheel. It’s been quite a hectic ride.”
You blink and look at him with worry. “Oh! Is everyone fine?” You ask and step forward.
Cregan nods. “Yes, yes, we’re all fine. Thank the gods.”
You hum and glance at the lady with dark brown hair. Cregan follows your line of gaze and grabs her arm. “This is my youngest daughter Mariah Stark.”
The girl curtsy and when she stands up you offer her a sweet smile. “Ah, you have your father's grey eyes. Very beautiful.”
“Thank you, your Grace,” she mumbles.
You nod and meet Cregan’s gaze again. “It’s nice to see you, old friend. It’s been…years.”
Cregan nods and his eyes soften, catching those around you off guard that this cold and serious man was looking so gentle. “Ten,” he clarifies. “Ten years. But I’m here now and I hope we get to reacquaint ourselves during my stay.”
You grin and nod eagerly. “Yes, that would be great. Now,” you trail off and grin wider. “Meet my children!” You walk over to the group of kids watching from a distance. “I’ll start with who I see first, there’s a lot.” You laugh.
And of course, Laenor pushes himself to the front, so you start with him. “Cregan, this is Laenor,”
Said man feigns a cough so you correct yourself. “Sorry, Ser Laenor. He’s a knight.”
Laenor flashes Cregan a grin and then glances at his daughter to offer her a flirty smile. And right away you notice that the girl blushes at the charming tactics of your son. But she’s not the only one, since he’s the only prince who’s a bachelor, many young ladies have been swooning over him and giving him their sympathies in hope he’d return their affections. But they’ll find that their brothers or their household guards will gain his affection a lot quicker than them. He just likes to tease women.
“…and this,” you move on to point to the man next to Laenor. “This is Rhaegar, my youngest.” You grab his shoulder and give it a tight squeeze.
Rhaegar glances at you and then offers Cregan a more nervous smile, letting you move on to the next person and feeling him feel grateful for it with the way his shoulders untense.
“Next to him is my niece and his betrothed, Lady Valeria Hightower, daughter of my cousin, the Lady Rhaena.”
Cregan bows his head and then glances back at one of his men. When they approach you see him holding a bouquet of blue winter roses.
“Thank the gods these survived our trip,” he says and plucks one from the bouquet to hand it to Valeria.
“Oh! This is beautiful,” Valeria gushes. “Thank you, my Lord.” She curtsies and then turns to Rhaegar to show him the pretty rose.
“This is Lady Laena Velaryon, daughter of my cousin Lady Baela, wife of my Maekor, and future Queen.” You grin.
Cregan bows his head and once again he plucks a rose from the bouquet. She’s more timid than Valeria though, so her response is softer. “Thank you, Lord Stark.”
“It's an honor to make your acquaintance, my Lady,” he interjects. “And future Queen.”
Laena smiles and gently bows her head. “It’s an honor to meet you, the Queen speaks fondly of you.” She reveals.
Oh.
Cregan smirks. “Does she now? I should hope so.”
You avert your gaze and move on to the next person so he won't get any more smug. “And you know my Maekor, my heir.”
Cregan once again bows. “My Prince.” Cregan greets.
Maekor offers him a small bow and a gentle smile. “Lord Stark. It’s a pleasure seeing you again, the last time I saw you—”
“You were a little lad,” Cregan cuts him off. “With your front teeth missing.” He chuckles. “You’ve grown, my Prince. And I hear you have sons of your own too.”
You beam proudly, and Maekor nods.
“Yes, I do, Jacaerys and Jaehaerys,” your son reveals.
“It’s quite a change,” Cregan says. “You make me feel old.”
“That’s because you are,” you quip
“Likewise.” He counters, making you feign a laugh before you move and point to the tall skinny man next to Maekor. “You probably know him. Lord Ellis Blackwood, son of Lord Benjicot Blackwood.”
Cregan nods. “Yes, we’ve met. I hear a congratulations are in order, my lord, I hear you're expecting your first child.”
Ellis grins brightly and nods before glancing at Valaena. “Yes, twins the maester says.”
Cregan glances at your daughter and offers her a smile. “Congratulations Princess, I’m sure the gods will grant you healthy babes.” He then turns and plucks three roses from the bouquet. “For you and your children.”
Valaena gently takes the roses and brings them up to her nose to smell them, causing a sweet smile to grow on her lips. “Thank you, my Lord, you are very kind.”
Cregan bows his head and now you move on to your last two. “Now, you know…” you trail off as Aerion is gone from the line. “Oh, well here’s Daenerys.”
Cregan stops in front of Daenerys and his smile softens. “Princess,” he greets softly and studies her face.
Daenerys doesn’t know the man before her is her actual father, you couldn’t risk it, so it will always be a secret between Cregan and you.
“Lord Stark,” she greets without as much emotion.
Cregan lingers there before he grabs one winter rose and hands it to her. “It goes with your hair well,” he says, making her giggle.
“It does, thank you.” She then looks at you and smiles.
“Father,” Cregan’s daughter cuts in. “Look they have my favorite, come with me.”
Cregan blinks and then glances at you. “And the rest are for you,” he says and grabs the rest of the winter roses to give you the bouquet. “I’m sorry for your loss, again. We’ll talk later. Yes?”
You smile softly and nod. “Yes. And Lord Stark.” You proceed to approach him and talk quieter. “Join us tomorrow for breakfast. The whole of my family will be there, and I want you to be there as well.”
Cregan holds your gaze with a smile and doesn’t hesitate to answer. “I’ll be there.”
You grin wider and nod in comprehension. “Good,” you whisper and feel your heart skip a beat once again.

Viserys and daemon caught their little sister touching herself and moaning their names
AN: Hi, I hope you like it x
NSFW
“God, that cunt bothers me.” Daemon grumbled to his brother; both of their arms around each other to steady themselves. “Daemon..” Viserys whispered as he chuckled. The drinks had the two of them holding onto each other. The rogue Prince only rolled his eyes as the brothers made their way to the King’s chambers.
“Vis….” Moans of pleasure came across their ears as the two brothers moved through the secret passageways. “When did she come to your room?” Daemon whispered into the King’s ear. Viserys only hummed; full of pride as a smirk began to move across his face. “Pft.” Daemon only huffed in annoyance. 
Their eyes caught sight of you from the viewing platform; the wood had cut out of circles for them to see through. Your beautiful, bare body was on full display as the candles flickered around you. Two of your delicate fingers were stuffed inside your weeping pussy; the sound of your wetness echoing around reaching their ears.
Your soft, ample breasts bounced as you arched from the silk sheets. Your fingers are only quickening in speed as their names fall from your lips. “Fuck..is she always like this?” Daemon hummed. The two brothers could only stare for a moment; those bright eyes of theirs dark in desire.
“Yes..she wakes me up riding my cock sometimes.” Viserys purred; a smirk coming over his face once more as he noted the near pout on Daemon’s face. “I am sure we can share.” He whispered tauntingly before slowly moving into the room. Their movements are becoming steady now.
You were lost in your own world of pleasure as fantasies raced through your mind. Sweet, soft whines of pleasure echoed around the room. You whined as your hand began to ache from your movements. “Hmm, surely my sister could not be here?” Daemon’s deep, familiar voice came over you.
A soft gasp escaped you when your eyes flashed open. “Dae….Vis…” You whimpered out; your fingers never slowing. A blush moved over your sweet body completely as the two pairs of hungry eyes watched you. Your legs shook as Viserys slowly moved in between your legs whilst Daemon watched. 
“VIs..please…” You whimpered out; chewing on your bottom lip as he slowly took your fingers out. Viserys hotly captured those soaked fingers with his own moans whilst you looked up to Daemon. Your rogue brother leaned in and passionately captured your soft lips. His dark chuckle echoed around the room.
Viserys watched the display before leaning in; his hot, greedy mouth engulfing your soaked pussy. You moaned against Daemon’s lips before your head fell back onto the pillow. Your body is arching. “Good girl..” Daemon whispered sweet nothings as he watched you begin to fall apart in front of him.
The King harshly began to suck on your clit now; his tongue slowly moving through your soaked folds to tease you. Your stomach was tightening from playing with yourself only moments ago. It took his tongue to swipe over your clit again and again before your orgasm ripped through you; squirting onto his face.

The only Daughter: Prolog
Tumblr media
Note: It is my first story and i hope you like the Prolog….. ik it is very short!
English is not my native language!
Pairing: ? x Fem! Targaryen reader
Please like, comment and share 🫶
******************
You're the first born child of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon
You are the only child of Rhaenyra who has Valyrian silver hair and purple eyes or better said, you have a purple eye and a green eye like Alyssa Targaryen, the mother of your grandfather Viserys and his brother Daemon the rogue prince.
Your eyes were also the reason why your grandfather cried when he held you in his arms for the first time, because after all those years he saw his mother in your beautiful eyes again.
You were the only grandchild of Viserys where he wanted to choose the name too.
Rhaenyra and Viserys thought about to name you after the late Queen Aemma or after Viserys mother Alyssa. But your father Laenor wanted a name for you which no Targaryen or Velaryon had yet.
Rhaenyra and Viserys agreed that you need an exceptional name, one that nobody will ever forget. And so they decided to name you
y/n Velaryon.
A few weeks after your birth, there were many rumors about you and your mother. Many believed you were the true-born daughter to Prince Daemon Targaryen with Princess Rhaenyra. Viserys didn’t want to hear any of these rumours, for him you were his true-born granddaughter.
After you were born in King’s Landing, your parents made a big feast in celebration. Many lords and ladies from everywhere of the realm have arrived to see you and to be able to be there at your feast.
Your mother and father received many congratulations for your birth and many gifts were brought for you. You also received a gift from your aunt Lady Laena. After she heard about your birth, she went to the nest of her she-dragon Vhagar and chosed a black egg with red stripes for you.
That evening you were also named as the heiress of the iron throne. Both your mother and grandfather adhered to the tradition that the first-born child, whether boy or girl should inherit the throne.
But for many Lords of the realm and most of all for the Hightowers, it was bad enough that your mother Princess Rhaenyra was named as heiress of the iron throne.
But when you another princess were named as the next heiress, the protests among the lords became more, for them neither you or your mother were the rightful heirs but Aegon Targaryen your uncle and the firstborn son of the King.

When Fire Meets Fate
Tumblr media
Part 9
Request: Yes or No
~~~
(Y/N) ran his finger along the rim of his cup, listening to the waves crash against the rocks. The wind gently blew in his face, bringing him the smell of salt. Dragonstone, while isolated and home to untamed dragons, had proven to be the safe haven the family desperately needed. There were no rumors or whispers. No accusing stares when one walked down the hall. Only loyal servants and guards. And of course, Prince Daemon. The infamous prince had settled down with them quite comfortably, claiming he'd rather starve than live in the Red Keep under Alicent and Otto's rule.
Over the years, King Viserys' health had been on a steady decline, leaving the once full-of-life king confined to his bedchambers. His deteriorated state had left nobody surprised. They'd all been witnesses to his loss of energy and the way he appeared far older than his actual age. Rhaenyra had been left increasingly worried about her father, for the last time she'd seen him he'd been limping and coughing quite harshly. To hear he could no longer leave his bed without help meant it'd only be a matter of time before he joined her mother and left her with the Iron Throne. A realization that loomed over the pregnant princess and her husband, and no doubt loomed over Alicent Hightower as she ruled in his place.
Pulling his gaze away from the blue horizon, he turned his head to gaze down the hall as Daemon strolled over to him. "Prince Daemon." (Y/N) greeted him, pausing his movements and frowning upon seeing the look on his face. (Y/N) had come to learn that over the few years they spent together on Dragonstone that Daemon Targaryen was a simple yet complicated man. Many claimed the silver-haired prince was cold, ruthless, and driven by pure rage like his ancestor; King Maegor the Cruel. And he often was just that; ruthless and driven by an unquenchable thirst for power. But (Y/N) had seen the way he gazed at the children, especially his daughters, with a look of pure love and admiration. He saw the way Daemon delicately touch them, almost as if afraid they'd break under his fingertips because a man like Daemon Targaryen enjoyed destruction and something so innocent would surely shatter if touched. (Y/N) had witnessed his tears and bowed head when his daughter had departed for Driftmark to be alongside her grandmother. He'd witnessed his features hardened and eyes narrow upon hearing his brother had become bedridden and vulnerable to the Hightowers. He'd heard him laugh and yell and whisper. He'd seen enough of Daemon to consider him a close friend. 
So when he noticed Daemon's clenched jaw and calculating eyes, he knew something had occurred. Stepping away from the window, he tilted his head. "What troubles you?"
"Vaemond Velaryon," Daemon answered icily, lightly shaking his head. "I received word from Driftmark. The Sea Snake was injured in battle and his condition only seems to worsen. Even Princess Rhaenys has begun to doubt if he'll recover." 
"If Lord Corlys passes, it means Driftmark will be in need of a new lord... and I assume Vaemond intends to be that lord." (Y/N) sighed deeply, bringing a hand to his head and rubbing his forehead. The years had passed swiftly and the only challenges he'd faced in those years since marrying Rhaenyra had been dealing with two fussy toddlers. In some twisted irony, his youngest sons had inherited the trait they had so desperately needed for Jace and Luke; bright silver hair. "How likely is it we'll have to return to King's Landing?"
"Highly likely," Daemon responded, a smirk tugging at his lips as he cocked his head, his previous irritated demeanor evaporating within seconds. "Does our precious future king not like King's Landing? It'll be your kingdom someday, you know." He cooed teasingly, chuckling lightly when (Y/N) dropped his hand and rolled his eyes at him.
"We should inform Nyra. She'll be far from pleased." (Y/N) muttered, turning around and making his way down the hall with Daemon following. Entering the main hall, Rhaenyra turned to them with a wide smile though it fell upon taking in their faces. Swallowing, she placed a hand over her bump and turned toward Jace, softly ordering everyone to leave. Jace nodded to them, retrieving Joffery from the floor and exiting the room with the servants present.
"What's wrong?" Rhaenyra asked, walking around the table to approach them, eyes flickering between her uncle and her husband. Daemon retrieved the thin strip of paper from his pocket and handed it to her, watching her pull it open and read its contents. Her brows raised slightly, lips parting. "He means to call into question Luke's legitimacy. And by extension Jace, and by extension my own claim to the throne."
"Vaemond cares only about Driftmark and the Velaryon line." Daemon objected gently as Rhaenyra continued to read, her concern only growing with each word.
"Rhaenys has flown to court. Surely, she cannot be planning to back him." Rhaenyra lifted her head with furrowed brows and slightly widened, panicked eyes. (Y/N) and Daemon exchanged doubtful glances at the information.
(Y/N) shook his head. "Despite her grievances with us, I do not believe she'd back Vaemond. She and her lord-husband accepted Luke as heir."
"Grievances? She believes we killed her son so we could marry, (Y/N). She has no love for us." Rhaenyra grunted softly, dropping her arms to her sides and shaking her head, crinkling the paper in her hand. Daemon smirked, intertwining his fingers and tilting his head as he studied his niece.
"Have the vipers' venom spread so far?" He asked lightly, earning a look from the distressed woman. 
"Those vipers rule in my father's name." She reminded him. "And my father..." Rhaenyra trailed off, eyes growing distant and lips pulling into a sad frown at the thought of her sickly father. Shaking her head, she sighed softly. "What choice do I have?"
"Do not freight, Nyra." (Y/N) murmured softly and stepped forward, pressing his lips to her forehead and placing a hand over her belly. His wife couldn't help but smile, resting her hand over his and stroking the back of his hand with her thumb. Tilting her head up to look at him, she gazed at him sweetly. (Y/N) raised his other hand to cup her cheek, placing his forehead against hers. "We'll go to King's Landing and claim what is rightfully ours, my beloved."
"What a sickly sweet sight," Daemon muttered, drawing exasperated looks from the couple. "If you have another son, I do hope you'll name him after me."
"Absolutely not." (Y/N) dismissed, turning back to his wife when she released a chuckle. With a fleeting genuine smile, Daemon turned his back to them and left the room to begin preparing for the journey back to King's Landing. Rhaenyra inhaled deeply, eyes fluttering closed as her husband ran his fingers through her silky hair, a content sigh escaping her lips.
"Luke will not take the news well. He'll put a brave face on but he'll be crushed. He already has doubts about his parentage. What if-"
"Rhaenyra, you mustn't allow this to cause panic. Vaemond is simply seeking power and he'll be denied it. Rhaenys loves her grandchildren and allowing Vaemond to become lord affects the girls. Besides, everyone has seen Corly's love for Luke. She cannot deny her husband has grown a soft spot for him. Everything will be fine. I promise."
                    ✶        ✶       ✶       ✶       ✶       ✶
King's Landing felt vastly different since the last time they'd seen it. The once rather lively kingdom had fallen more silent, more solemn. Fog enveloped the land in a damp hug, and the chilly air nipped at their skin. Gray clouds covered the sky above them, a stark comparison to Dragonstone where the sky had been last seen a bright blue. Many structures had changed, shifting away from what it once was and appearing more to cater toward the Faith of the Seven. (Y/N) couldn't bring himself to be surprised. Anything the Hightowers touched could only darken over time. 
"All hail Rhaenyra of House Targaryen, Princess of Dragonstone and heir to the throne, and her royal consort Lord (Y/N) Hightower!" A knight called out as the carriage slowed to a stop. Pushing the door open, Rhaenyra carefully climbed down the steps, staring up at the gloomy castle she once called home. (Y/N) followed, feeling a gust of wind brush by him as the other carriages entered and their family joined them. (Y/N) walked toward Rhaenyra, placing a comforting hand on her back and noting the lack of a warm welcome. One of the doors creaked open and Lord Caswell stepped out, quickly walking toward them with an apologetic look.
Bowing his head before reaching out to grab Rhaenyra's hands, the man almost seemed relieved to see them. "Welcome back, Princess."
"Lord Caswell." Rhaenyra greeted him with furrowed brows, glancing at her husband before they followed him inside. Allowing the boys to leave and explore their former home, (Y/N) and Rhaenyra strolled through the halls, noticing the vast differences within the castle walls. Many paintings and statues had been removed and replaced with things that resembled the faith the Hightowers clung to fiercely. The more (Y/N) looked around, the more he felt as if he were back in Oldtown. A suffocating feeling slithered around his chest. 
"I wish to see my brother, Lord Caswell." Daemon called, looking rather vexed at all the 'improvements' to the castle. The lord winced but nodded, stepping back and bowing his head as the three ascended the stairs and down the hall to King Viserys' bedchambers. The guards stationed outside bowed their heads and Rhaenyra opened the door, gaze falling on the replica of Old Valyira her father had been working on for many years. Rhaenyra grimaced and looked away from the abandoned project, walking forward and gently brushing aside the curtains draped before King Viserys bed. (Y/N) ran his gaze over the replica, only having heard stories about it from Alicent and Rhaenyra. Tearing his eyes away from it, he walked forward and reached out to tug the curtains aside.
"Father?" She called out, only hearing soft wheezing in response. While Rhaenyra took the initiative and stepped in further, rounding her father's bed to see him up close, Daemon lingered behind, head turned away from the bed in almost fear of what he'd see if he looked in. (Y/N) pressed a comforting hand to Daemon's back and watched his wife.
When Rhaenyra neared his bed, King Viserys reacted. "Who goes there?"
"Father. It's me, My King. Rhaenyra." Rhaenyra answered and (Y/N) approached her, breath catching in his throat as he took in the King. He looked frail, so frail his cheekbones protruded through his almost gray skin. His left eye had been covered by bandages and his head lacked the striking Targaryen locks save for a few thin strands. He'd grown skinny, bones practically showing through his skin and his nails had turned black in color. His remaining eye squinted at them, unable to open it fully for long.
Leaning forward, Rhaenyra gazed down at her father sadly. "I'm here with (Y/N) and Daemon." She told him softly.
"(Y/N)..." King Viserys repeated softly. "Daemon? Daemon?" At the sound of his brother weakly repeating his name, only then did Daemon step forward and walk toward the bed, wincing at the state his brother was in. His eyes shined with the beginning of tears and he quickly looked down. "Help me up." The King grunted and groaned, breathing labored as his daughter propped the pillows up for him. He leaned back into them and took her hands into his, looking up at them. "It has been so long."
"The Sea Snake has taken a grave wound in battle in the Stepstones," Daemon spoke up, ignoring the glance Rhaenyra sent him.
"When?" King Viserys asked, wheezing softly. "We won that war years ago."
"No. The Triacrhy is resurgent. The fighting is anew. And there is a p- There is a petition to decide upon the succession of Driftmark and the heir to the Driftwood Throne." Daemon explained, stammering when he looked upon his brother for too long. 
Exhaling softly, King Viserys shakily lifted a hand to his head and winced. "Alicent and Otto... They see to all that business now."
"No, Brother, listen to me." Pushing forward past the couple, Daemon leaned down so his brother could hear him clearly. "You are to affirm your position for Lucerys to be Corlys Velaryon's successor," Daemon instructed, glancing back at (Y/N) when he placed a hand on his shoulder and lightly shook his head. The doors to the bedchamber opened and (Y/N) felt himself smiling upon hearing soft babbling. Rhaenyra leaned forward, gently grasping her father's arms.
"Father... There's someone we wish to introduce you to." Rhaenyra told him before she moved away from the bed, approaching the two maids and gently taking one of the boys into her arms. (Y/N) hummed softly, taking Aegon from the other maid and gently bouncing him as he neared the bed, seeing King Viserys gaze up at his grandsons in surprise and longing. "This is Aegon," Rhaenyra nodded to the baby in her husband's arms. "And this is Viserys."
"Viserys.." He repeated, smiling and reaching out toward his grandson. "Now that is a name... fit for a king." He and Rhaenyra shared a chuckle, smiling together until King Viserys groaned softly and leaned back, cringing and apologizing repeatedly when the baby began to cry, in turn making his brother burst into tears. Shushing his son softly, (Y/N) bounced little Aegon in his arms, cooing until his cries ceased and the boy nuzzled into his neck, tiny fingers grasping his father's collar. "My tea... My tea..." King Viserys wheezed.
"What tea? This?" Daemon took Rhaenyra's spot beside his brother, handing him the tea and watching him drink. (Y/N) sweetly kissed Aegon's temple and stepped toward the maid, handing him to her and nodding for her to leave. Rhaenyra did the same with little Viserys, a heavy sigh leaving her. (Y/N) wrapped his arm around her shoulders, rubbing her arm and watching Viserys be lulled to sleep by his drink. Daemon frowned, looking back at the two and lifting the cup to his nose. 
"Milk of the poppy, I assume." He muttered, setting the cup down and shaking his head. Stepping away from the bed, the three allowed the sick man to sleep and slipped past the curtains. Daemon settled down on a chair by the fireplace, stroking his clenched jaw. Coaxing his wife to sit, (Y/N) gently took her hand and sighed softly.
"He looks like a different person... I believe we should also consult Maester Gerardys." As Rhaenyra finished her thought, the doors opened and the three turned their heads to look. Alicent Hightower entered the room in a long green dress littered with golden accessories. (Y/N)'s eyes were immediately drawn to the seven-pointed star hanging from her neck; a symbol of the Faith of the Seven. She swept her gaze over each of them, lingering on her brother. Alicent appeared different. While her youthful face and slim figure remained, she almost appeared older.
"Princess Rhaenyra, Prince Daemon, Brother..." Alicent offered a polite yet tired smile, fingers wrapping around each other and eyes falling to Rhaenyra's exposed scar, the very one she'd given her years prior. "It's been so long since we've been granted the joy of your presence."
"Indeed, Your Grace." Rhaenyra agreed with a nod as she lifted her scarred arm and placed her hand upon her belly to hide it from view, forcing Alicent to look away from it.
"Though not long enough to merit a greeting upon our arrival," Daemon muttered bitterly, crossing one leg over the other and studying the queen with a far-from-impressed look.
"I'm sure the Queen had pressing business, Uncle," Rhaenyra offered, lifting her brows at Daemon like she would when scolding the boys before looking back at Alicent and smiling. "What can either of us know of ruling a kingdom?"
"I do not rule, as you well know." Alicent corrected, glancing toward her resting husband. "My father and I are mere stewards of the King's will and wisdom."
"And how exactly is that wisdom expressed, hm? In blinks and wheezes? I'd be surprised if he could remember his own name, or if you could." Daemon grumbled, fingers drumming on the armrests of his chair. (Y/N) inhaled and pressed his lips together as the tension in the room thickened considerably. 
Swallowing, Alicent tilted her chin up slightly at him. "King Visery's condition has worsened since you saw him last." She paused when Daemon laughed, the prince taking a moment to study his nails. "It subjects him to considerable pain. On the advice of the maesters-"
"Ah, the maesters..." Rhaenyra breathed, using her husband's offered arm to rise from her seated position. Stepping toward her former friend, she glanced in the direction of her father and scoffed softly. "It is they who keep him addled on milk of the poppy while the Hightowers warm his throne."
"Rhaenyra, if you would see him without it-"
"Oh, Alicent, I have no doubt it was an act of the purest mercy but tell me, for the King's suffering, did the maesters also prescribe the removal of Targaryen heraldry and the installation in its steads of various statues and stars?" Daemon rose up from his seat and walked forward to stand beside Rhaenyra. Alicent pursed her lips at his words, averting her gaze.
"I believe the matter at hand is more important than statues, which we can touch upon at a later time if you so wish, Daemon." (Y/N) spoke up, pushing himself away from the chair and clasping his hands behind his back as he stood beside his wife. "On the morrow, who will be the one casting judgment of Lucerys claim on his own inheritance?"
"That would be me. And the Hand." Alicent answered softly, gaze flickering to Daemon when he chuckled. Turning toward Rhaenyra, she cleared her throat. "But be assured, the Father is just and commands me to forget the accusations you hurled in this room today." She added passively, looking down at Rhaenyra's bump and straightening her posture. "I offer my congratulations, Princess. I hope I'll be able to meet my nephews before you return to Dragonstone. I'd like to be given the chance of being an aunt to them as I've always hoped for (Y/N) to have children of his own one day." 
"Let me know whenever you are free and I could introduce them to you." (Y/N) offered, drawing a surprised but nevertheless pleased look from Alicent. His sister smiled softly and nodded, looking back at the two Targaryens before taking her leave.
"I do not want her near our sons, (Y/N)," Rhaenyra muttered, rolling her ring between her fingers and gazing at her husband with a frown.
"She views Aegon and Viserys as her actual nephews, Nyra. She will not hurt them." (Y/N) assured her, lifting his hand to touch her cheek and pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I'll go see what the boys are up to." He told them, nodding to Daemon and turning around. He left the room and roamed down the hall, heading down the steps as a wave of nostalgia hit him. Daemon had been right in his hostility. The Red Keep felt like a different castle altogether. The Faith of the Seven had always been a prominent religion in King's Landing but the Hightowers had forced it further onto the kingdom. Paintings and statues in honor of the gods filled walls and rooms to the point everywhere he looked there was something related to the religion.
Shaking his head and sighing to himself, (Y/N) focused on finding his eldest sons and he followed his gut feeling into the training yard where they often spent the most time back in Dragonstone. They'd certainly inherited the Targaryen's need to be strong warriors. When he stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the courtyard, a chuckle escaped him. The two were easy to spot despite their brown hair blending in with the others. Deceansdeding down the stairs, he felt stares bore into him and it reminded him why his family had left in the first place. Ladies and lords with nothing better to do other than gossip and watch.
"Uncle!" Despite not recognizing the voice, something about it held familiarly and pulled (Y/N)'s attention away from his sons and onto a silver-haired man. The tall man strode toward him with a wide smile, a single eye watching him. "I was hoping to see you before the petition."
"Aemond..." (Y/N) breathed, eyes unable to stop themselves from looking at his black eyepatch where the beginning and end of a scar peeked out from underneath. His nephew had certainly grown, almost towering over him with his long legs and hair that cascaded down his back. His voice had gotten deeper yet remained soft in tone. He looked more like a man than a boy despite only being a little older than Jace.
"I heard you bore two true-born sons," Aemond said, lips pressing into a thin line for a second as his eyes darkened briefly. A pleased smile appeared on his face afterward though it appeared somewhat forced. "Congratulations. I'm sure you'll be blessed with another."
A certain uneasiness swelled in (Y/N)'s stomach. Aemond gazed at him in an almost predatory way, like a cat observing a bird and waiting for the right moment to pounce. While the prince didn't appear to have any ill intent toward him, he couldn't shake the feeling away. "You're man-grown now. I'm sure in due time, you'll have a lady-wife and brood of your own." 
"I'm sure," Aemond muttered disinterestedly and looked toward his own nephews as they walked over. The two boys looked back at their uncle, slowing down and keeping some distance from him. Aemond smirked at their hesitance to be near him and turned back to his uncle rather proudly.
"Boys," Swallowing, (Y/N) looked at his sons and nodded toward the stairs, easily spotting their discomfort. "Why don't you go check on your grandfather?" 
"Is he well?" Luke asked softly, frowning when (Y/N) grimaced. The brothers glanced at their uncle as they shuffled by him, quickly going up the stairs as Aemond chuckled softly, his eye watching them like a hawk until they disappeared from view. 
"I'm glad to see you're doing well, Aemond. I thought about you often." (Y/N) spoke warmly and Aemond bowed his head bashfully, a stark contrast to the way he acted around his nephews. The fact it reminded (Y/N) of how ladies acted around flirtatious lord made him uncomfortably shift weight between his feet, motioning toward the stairs with his hand. "I should check on my wife now, Aemond. I'll see you around." 
"Of course." Aemond nodded, gaze burning a hole into (Y/N)'s back as he made his way up the stairs. Targaryens were known for their... odd customs and traditions. Haeleana and Aegon had gotten married and had three children despite being brother and sister. The possibility of Aemond harboring certain feelings toward him made the older man wish he'd remained on Dragonstone and far from his complicated family.
                    ✶        ✶       ✶       ✶       ✶       ✶
Standing in the throne room, (Y/N) stared forward at his father with narrowed eyes, hand gently taking Rhaenyra into his. Otto stood in front of the Iron Throne amidst the scattered swords, looking over those present. Rhaenyra stood alongside her sons, husband, and uncle as she looked toward Otto. The Hightowers held her son's future in their hands and their actions could greatly affect her own future by undermining her as heir to the throne. (Y/N) gave her hand a soft reassuring squeeze and she glanced at him, shakily inhaling and giving him a small nod.
"Though it is the great hope of this court that Lord Corlys Velaryon survive his wounds, we gather here with the grim task of dealing with the succession of Driftmark. As Hand, I speak with the King's voice and all other matters." Otto began, causing the soft clamoring to cease for the moment. Gently tugging on his cloak, he sat back on the throne. "The crown will now hear the petitions. Ser Vaemond Velaryon..."
Vaemond walked forward, leaving Princess Rhaenys side and glancing at Rhaenyra as he stood near them. Looking at Alicent, he greeted, "My Queen. My Lord Hand." He cleared his throat and began. "The history of our noble houses extends beyond the Seven Kingdoms and to the days of Old Valyria. For as long as House Targaryen has ruled the skies, House Velaryon has ruled the seas. When the Doom fell on Valyria, our houses became the last of their kind. Our forebearers came to this new land, knowing that were they to fail, it would mean the end to their bloodlines and their name." 
(Y/N) listened as Vaemond spoke the histories of the houses, seeing Rhaenyra stare forward instead of at him like the others. She pursed her lips, hand squeezing (Y/N)'s tight as she inhaled again and lightly shook her head at his words. (Y/N) turned his head slightly toward Daemon, making eye contact with the bemused prince and quirking a brow at him. Daemon smirked at him and subtly nodded, gaze shifting back to Vaemond as a hand lifted to rest on the hilt of his beloved sword, Dark Sister. 
"I have spent my entire life on Driftmark defending my brother's seat. I am Lord Coryl's closest kin, his own blood. The true, unimpeachable blood of House Velaryon runs through my veins-"
"As it does in my sons, the offspring of Laenor Velaryon." Rhaenyra interrupted coldly, maintaining her gaze forward. "If you cared so much about your house's blood, Ser Vaemond, you would not be so bold as to supplant its rightful heir. No, you only speak for yourself and for your own ambition."
"You will have a chance to make your own petition, Princess Rhaenyra. Do Ser Vaemond the courtesy of allowing his to be heard." Alicent cut in strictly, turning her attention briefly onto the princess and her brother with a small frown. With the support of Alicent, Vaemond turned toward Rhaenyra with a smirk and she looked away from him with a clenched jaw.
"What do you know of Velaryon blood, Princess? I could cut my veins and show it to you and you still wouldn't recognize it. This is about the future and survival of my house, not yours." Vaemond asserted softly and almost smugly, eyes briefly flickering to Luke before he turned to look at Alicent and Otto. "My Queen, my Lord Hand. This is a matter of blood, not ambition. I place the continuation of the survival of my house and line above all. I humbly put myself before you as my brother's successor... The Lord of Driftmark and Lord of the Tides."
"Thank you, Ser Vaemond," Otto spoke, nodding to him and waiting for him to step back beside Princess Rhaenys and Baela. Glancing at his daughter, he motioned for Rhaenyra to make her petition. "Princess Rhaenyra, you may now speak for your son, Lucerys Velaryon."
Giving her husband's hand one last squeeze, she inhaled deeply and stepped forward, addressing Alicent and Otto. "If I am to grace this farce with some answer, I will start by reminding this court that nearly twenty years ago, in this very-" Cutting herself off, Rhaenyra turned to look back at the doors as they were pulled open, her eyes widening and breath hitching as the sound of a cane echoed through the room.
"King Viserys of House Targaryen, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm." One of the guards accompanying the King announced. Those present fell silent, staring in shock as King Viserys staggered forward, cane slapping against the ground with each shakey step he took. He wore his royal clothes and a mask over half of his face to shield the missing eye from view. Otto slowly rose from the throne, making eye contact with a surprised Vaemond. King Viserys paused briefly when he stepped by his daughter, watching her with a tender gaze before setting his sights on his throne. He struggled up the first step, hunched over form breathing heavily.
"I'll be fine." He breathed, dismissing a guard who stepped toward him to help. (Y/N) turned to look at Daemon, reaching out to touch his arm, nodding when the prince looked at him. Daemon inhaled deeply, closing his eyes for a moment before walking forward and toward his brother. King Viserys crown clattered to the ground and he panted heavily, resting his head against his hand. Daemon retrieved the golden crown from the ground and placed his hand on his brother's back, guiding him up the steps until they reached the throne. King Viserys sat down, chest heaving and gaze lifted up toward his little brother. Daemon delicately placed the crown on King Viserys head, looking over his brother before returning to his place. 
"I must... admit... my confusion." King Viserys spoke breathily. "I do not understand... why petitions are being heard over a settled succession. The only one present... who might offer keener insight into Lord Corlys's wishes is the Princess Rhaenys." Heads turned in the direction of the older princess and she exhaled softly before tilting up her chin.
"Indeed, Your Grace." Making brief eye contact with Vaemond, Princess Rhaenys stepped forward, hands cupped before her. "It was ever my husband's will that Driftmark pass through Ser Laenor to his true-born son... Lucerys Velaryon. His mind never changed. Nor did my support of him. As a matter of fact, the Princess Rhaenyra has just informed me of her desire to marry her sons Jace and Luke to Lord Coryls's granddaughters, Baela and Rhaena. A proposal to which I heartily agree." 
(Y/N) hummed quietly, the proposal being news to him. Rhaenyra pressed her lips together, shoulders lowering in relief but she looked toward her husband guilty. Rubbing her belly with one hand, she took (Y/N)'s with the other and lifted her brows slightly, silently telling him she'd explain everything later. (Y/N) sighed softly, hand taking a gentle hold of hers in acceptance of her silent apology. Looking forward, he made eye contact with his sister, her dark eyes watching them closely and lowering to their hands. 
"Well... the matter is settled. Again. I hereby reaffirm Prince Lucerys of House Velaryon as heir to Driftmark, the Driftwood Throne, and the next Lord of the Tides." King Viserys announced, wheezing softly. Rhaenyra looked back at her son and smiled warmly, relief etched all over her face. Vaemond stared at them in discontent, brows furrowed and head shaking lightly. Turning his head to glare at the king, he scoffed and stepped forward. 
"You break law... and centuries of tradition to install your daughter as heir. Yet you dare tell me who deserves to inherit the name Velaryon. No. I will not allow it." He sneered, staring at his king with pure hatred. (Y/N) looked at Daemon over his shoulder, gaze flickering down to Dark Sister. The silver-haired prince smirked and bowed his head, fingers wrapping around the handle of his sword. 
"'Allow it'? Do not forget yourself, Vaemond." King Viserys muttered, glaring down at the man.
Vaemond stared back at him, jaw clenching and fists clenching. Whirling around, he shoved his finger in Luke's direction. "That is no true Velaryon, and certainly no nephew of mine!" Vaemond spat furiously, looking back at the king. Luke blinked, his watery eyes turning toward his mother. 
"Lucerys is my true-born grandson. And you... are no more than the second son of Driftmark." King Viserys reminded him with a sneer.
"You may run your house as you see fit, but you will not decide the future of mine. My house survived the Doom and a thousand tribulations besides." Vaemond roared, turning to look back at the frightened and confused Lucerys. "And gods be damned... I will not see it ended on the account of this-" The silver-haired man cut himself off, glaring at the boy.
"Speak clearly, Ser Vaemond." (Y/N) challenged and the Velaryon turned his glare onto him, a soft scoff escaping him. Vaemond pressed his lips together, staring at the Hightower and inhaling deeply.
"Her children... are bastards!" He bellowed, voice echoing through the hall. (Y/N) felt Daemon slip past him, the prince's hand grazing his lower back. Lucerys glossy eyes widened, panicked breaths beginning to escape him as he looked between his parents and Vaemond. Jace sneered, head shaking and body nearly trembling with rage. The smug Velaryon turned back toward the King, speaking softly yet clearly enough for the room to hear. "And she is... a whore."
King Viserys rose from the throne as gasps erupted from the ladies and lords present. Breathing heavily, he grasped the handle of his dagger and pulled it out. "I... will have your tongue for that." But before anyone could react, Daemon slipped out behind Vaemond, bringing his sword down in one clean slice that cut Vaemond Velaryons head in half, thus ending his life and ceaseless babbling.
"As you wished, M'Lord." Daemon grinned at (Y/N), forcing the attention to shift away from the prince and onto the royal consort. (Y/N) couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, hand squeezing his wife's. Rhaenyra stared at him with parted lips and widened eyes, surprised her husband would order such a thing. Alicent and Otto exchanged disturbed looks but the attention promptly turned away from Vaemond's death and onto King Viserys when the man collapsed back into his throne in a fit of groans and wheezes. Rhaenyra tore herself away from her husband's side and rushed forward as Alicent reached King Viserys and checked on him. 
"Boys," (Y/N) breathed turned around to face his sons, bracing himself for fearful looks. His eldest son grimaced when he glanced at the body but when his gaze settled on his father, he nodded, a grin tugging at the edge of his lips. However, Luke stared at the body, tears threatening to slip from his eyes. Gently reaching out, he took Luke's arms and forced the boy to look at him. "Go to your chambers." He ordered them softly. 
"Yes, (Y/N)." Jace nodded, glancing toward his mother and placing a hand on Luke's back. The trembling boy pursed his lips, gaze flickering toward the body before he made eye contact with his father and inhaled deeply.
"Thank you."

Author's Note- Well, just because I love Matt Smith and Daemon Targaryen though I have not watched House of the Dragons.
Thank you and Enjoy your reading!
Realm's Desire
Daemon Targaryen x Sister!Reader
Part 1 ☆ Part 2 ☆ Part 3
Warnings- I think it gets angst-y towards the last. Daemon is himself a warning and jealous Daemon is certainly a warning. Mentions of arranged marriage, typical Westros stuff I guess.
GIF credits to @torahana
Tumblr media
Summary- (Y/N) Targaryen was the youngest daughter of Baelon and Alyssa Targaryen, two years junior to Daemon. If Rhaenyra was the Realm's Delight, then (Y/N) was Realm's Desire.
Daemon had never thought in his life that he did have to watch (Y/N), from a distance, dancing and laughing with Jason Lannister. As a princess, (Y/N) had to fulfill her duties and somehow, being able not to deny a lord with a dance was one of them.
Daemon never ever felt this jealous about anyone. He was aware that everyone in the realm found his sister attractive- she was undeniably gorgeous after all- but never had he thought that his sister found anyone good enough to pay her attention to except himself.
They had been close since childhood. Best friends attached to each others hip, sharing stories and secrets. That companionship soon changed into something more. Their innocent laughter and conversations of night changed into soft whispers and promises of forever.
(Y/N) could feel a heated gaze of someone on her backs. From the corner of her eyes, she spotted Daemon glaring at Jason. A small smirk plastered on her face. Maybe dancing with Lannister is not that bad, she thought to herself.
"... and once I killed a huge boar on my own, my princess," Jason Lannister finished one of his many boring stories of his "greatness". (Y/N) smiled in a flirty way, stepping a bit closer to him. "Oh really, my lord? I am sure, it would have been delicious," she whispered, looking at him through her lashes.
"It really was delicious, my beautiful princess," Jason said with a victorious smile. (Y/N) could see Daemon move from his place on the table, moving towards them with murderous gaze directed to the Lion of the Rocks.
Jason had started another pathetic story about some hunt when Daemon interrupted them. "Sister, wouldn't you spare your lovely brother a dance?" It was not a question but a straight and direct order for his sister to comply with.
"It seems we have to cut our dance short, my lord," (Y/N) curtsied and placed her hand in Daemon's extended one, leaving a dumbfounded Jason behind.
Daemon possessive hand on (Y/N)'s waist, stepping close to her such that their chest were almost touching. His breath danced over her face, making her gasp a bit. Their bodies moved in a sync, something that always have happened. Smooth steps, gliding between hundreds; they were in their own world.
"Ao vestragon naejot raqagon aōha jēda lēda bona nādrēsy," (You seem to enjoy your time with that bastard) Daemon's deep voice whispered close near (Y/N)'s ear, an involuntary gasp leaving her throat. "Gaomas ziry jenigon ao, lēkia?" (Does it bother you, brother?) Their mother tongue danced over their lips, so effortlessly and melodic.
Daemon's grip on her waist tightened, drawing her closer. "Kostilus, dōna hāedar." (Perhaps, sweet sister) The smirk on (Y/N)'s face was smug, her mission accomplished. "Sir, ao gīmigon skoros jān rȳ tolvie rēbagon tubis," (Now, you know what I go through every passing day) she gritted through her teeth, glaring at the Rogue Prince.
"I fail to understand you, my little sister," Daemon said amusingly, glancing back to where their brother sat. Viserys had never been a fan of Daemon staying near (Y/N). He had always though Daemon would taint their sweet, little sister's innocence though, Daemon won't blame Viserys for thinking such things. After all, he had a certain reputation in the court.
"You are completely aware of what I mean. Watching you wed that woman from Vale," (Y/N) said, jealousy dancing in her voilet eyes. Daemon let out a chuckle. "And who says she is an issue?" Daemon asked, an amusing smile on his face.
(Y/N) snorted loudly, finding his amusement, annoying. "If you aren't aware, brother," she hissed, glaring at the representative of Vale in the court. "You can't marry me until she is gone or your marriage is annulled."
Daemon always knew it but why couldn't he wed her in the traditions of their house? Aegon the Conqueror had two wives, both of them his sisters. Then what was the problem, if Daemon wanted to have two wives, one of whom doesn't even care about his existence.
"You are aware that I have tried talking to Viserys about it, my dear," Daemon said, the amusing smile slowly vanishing as the conversation turned serious. "Viserys had called me last evening to talk about my betrothal. He wishes to marry me off to Stark," (Y/N) said, her (E/C) eyes casted downwards.
"Stark? Is he mad?" Daemon sneered. They had stopped dancing ages ago, now, standing between the laughing and dancing couples. "Dragons don't live in cold, (Y/N). We deserve to be here," he continued, gripping her waist tightly.
"Is everything alright here?" A voice made (Y/N) pull away, turning to find their niece, Rhaenyra, standing there with a coy smile. "Yes, Nyra," (Y/N) replied with a stiff smile.
"Father wished to introduce you to your betrothed," Rhaenyra informed the pair, glancing cautiously towards Daemon. (Y/N) nodded with a fake smile plastered on her face. "Thank you for sharing this with me, Nyra. I will be gone then," she said, turning to face Daemon whose eyes were now hard and cold like the North itself. "Thank you for the dance, brother."
With those words, Daemon watched as she slipped through the crowd, making her way to their brother and the Wolf of the North. "You messed up, uncle," Rhaenyra whispered gently, leaving Daemon behind to join her aunt.
"(Y/N), sister, meet Cregan Stark, Lord of Winterfell and your betrothed," Viserys introduced with a warm smile. (Y/N) dipped down in a curtsey, smiling at the older man. "It is a pleasure to meet you, my lord." The customary sentence was said and met by just a stern nod.
Cregan Stark was just how (Y/N) had imagined him to be. Stern and cold just us the books define the Starks to be. She had always heard that Starks were honorable people. She hoped it was true.
"Your engagement will be announced tomorrow in the court, dear. And perhaps, in a moon's time, you will be wed; if Lord Stark allows," Viserys said, glancing at Cregan for confirmation. Cregan nodded stiffly. "I would be fine with anything you wish, your grace," he replied.
"Then it is sealed," Viserys cheerful voice seemed too distant as (Y/N) glanced at Daemon. Duty was the death of love, and it seemed (Y/N) has to do her duty to the crown and forget her love in the process.
Her fate was sealed and this time, unlike other times, she didn't fight it anymore.
Author's Note- Let me know what you think and if you want a Part 2 of this.

Thank u love your stories!
heya bby, thank you for sending in this request!!! you know I'm a sucker for angst lol! I appreciate you, hope you enjoy this as much as I did writing it xx apologies for the long wait!!!
Approval & Acceptance.
PAIRING: Modern!Aegon ii Targaryen x fem!Reader
WORDS: 2,018.
WARNINGS: swearing, angst, mentions of slut-shaming, soft!Aegon.
Tumblr media
A solid year had passed by since you'd plucked the courage to accept Aegon into your life, beyond the title of a mere friendly acquaintance. A wonderful, solid year it has been, now approaching the eve of your 1 year anniversary. Even prior to committing to Aegon as his one and only partner, you'd knew very little about him, although the extent of what you knew was not as pleasing as you’d liked…
A traditional part of living out a college life, many students often found themselves entangled in some sort of fraternity, which just happened to be the case for Aegon. He was quite the social butterfly, the centre of attention, although in a notorious way. The partying hardly ceased, only encouraging his previous habit of excessively drinking till he was passed out in some remote location of the campus. And the ladies… He relished in their undivided, carnally driven attention too, opting to satisfy his lust through sexual means, Aegon was a wild boy.
On the other hand, you had a rather mellow tune about yourself. More reserved and diligent with studies, although you did not mind the occasional outing, perhaps even a cocktail to go with it. You much rather preferred intimate, soulful gatherings than the chaotic mess of parties. Nonetheless, Aegon and yourself had mutually met one another and clicked instantaneously. The dynamic between you two was perfectly balanced, and gradually, romantic feelings had developed mutually.
The more of his time and thoughts you had naturally preoccupied, the more committed Aegon became, eager to devote his energy towards you. He began to disassociate himself from the all the unnecessary proclivities he'd previously pre-occupied himself with. Strenuously investing his efforts into making you as happy as can be.
The dates were splendid and fruitful, Aegon was infatuated with spoiling you with grand gestures and intimate, passionate love-making.
"I cannot get enough of you, sweetling, what have you done to me?"
Aegon would often mutter such pleasantries into your nearby ear, as he firmly held you close against his larger, warm body, enraptured in his arms, nothing but bare skin to skin contact.
It was undeniable, however...
The affection you naturally showered Aegon, was something that he'd been craving yet denied so vicariously throughout majority of his life. Upon mingling with you, it was all he could crave for, so desperately. Seeking for your approval and acceptance at all times. Your sweet, delicate scent had even become some sort of an addiction for him, that made him feral. Girls had come and gone in his life as means to satisfy his 'manly' needs, although none had remained, nor impressed him enough to have such a profound effect on him. With each lovingly, passing day, Aegon became more serious with you, serious enough that he had been intending to introduce you to his kin, as his girlfriend.
****
You'd been feverishly hesitant for tonight, as the hours tolled throughout the day, you could've sworn you were falling ill from the anticipation.
"Wh-What if they don't like me, Aeg? If they don't approve of me, what then? Do we stop seeing each other?"
"Oh, Y/N-C'mon, now. Be serious...Perhaps, they might not warm up to you but rest assured, they could never say no to some cake-" Aegon chuckled, as he fleetingly eyed the baked good resting on your lap, that you'd meticulously prepared hours ago, before resuming his attention back on the road ahead.
"Aegon, stop! You are absolutely no help right now! You know how these things stress me out," You defeatedly sulk, as you continue to dreadfully stare out across the vicinity beyond the car window. You could suspect Aegon's side glances towards your stoic direction, as he sensed the tension oozing from your stiff body.
"Y/N, baby, you know I'm only fucking with you, right?" Another glance exchanged between the road and you, you'd silently shrugged to Aegon's words.
"Y/N-"
A large hand gripped your chin firmly, pulling your face towards his direction.
"I mean it. I'm certain they are going to love you, baby, how could they not?"
His sweets words, earned a half-hearted smile from you, as you further leaned into his touch. His grip releasing from your chin, now reached over to your closest hand, as he pulled it over for a quick peck. Giving you a reassuring squeeze, before resuming the wheel, you felt a calm wash over, easing your worries for now...
****
"Aegon, that was fucking terrible. That went to shit pretty quick!" You vexed, as you aggressively smacked your clutch down on the dining table, Aegon silently following you behind as you entered your shared apartment. The car ride home felt long and painful, you both remained quiet, no words exchanged as you pondered over your vivid thoughts, emotions tense. You felt sick to your stomach, for the family dinner did not go accordingly, nor as Aegon had desperately hoped. The words he'd shared with you just moments before arriving to his family's place, now meant nothing, fuelled with delusions.
"Y/N, I-I'm sorry-" Aegon softly uttered, followed by a sigh, as he undid the tight buttons of his shirt, plopping himself defeatedly on the couch, as you removed the fine earrings you'd donned.
"It's not your fault, Aeg... They ripped into you just as much as much as they did me."
It was unfortunately the truth...
The moment you'd even entered the grand home, gifting the backed good to Alicent, who carefully eyed it, you'd already managed to trigger some spiteful side glances from his mother. As she closely eyed your figure up and down, beside her eldest son's side, her lips pursed in an almost disappointed look.
Aegon's father unwell, his health declining, as Aegon had pre-warned you, only managed to stay for a quick greeting, before resuming to the comfort of the bed. He seemed rather pleasant towards you, and rather wished for him to have stayed in place of Alicent, however, he too had a pre-dispositioned distaste for his eldest son, from again, what Aegon had disclosed to you.
"Forgive us, Aegon often rushes the girls out of the house, not bringing them in to be introduced, so this could be the first of many," Alicent spat, exchanging a smirk that you felt was fuelled with spite. Almost as though it was her jab at reducing you to the same type of 'company' Aegon would previously seek out.
"I should've known they would have acted this way, baby. A-As if they're trying to test me," Aegon exhaustedly stuttered, rubbing the furrow of his brows as he rested his head forward over his hands.
"And I just had to drag you into their fucking shit."
"Mother- You said you'd play nice... Now, this- This, is my darling, Y/N, Y/N this is everyone-," Aegon teased and hastily proceeded, a poor attempt of trying to alleviate his mother's harshness, as he gently pushed you forward.
"Helena, Aemond and Daeron-" Aegon continued as he gestured toward each sibling, you shaking each of their hands cordially. Respectively, Helaena too, seemed pleasant enough, although withdrawn and uninterested in the evening. Upon, close examination of her interactions with her own mother, it seemed the poor girl remained closed off towards her too, probably as means to not mingle with such bitterness. Daeron, Aegon's youngest brother, immediately succumbed to the distraction of his phone, silencing the conversation at hand with his costly looking headphones.
Aemond, on the other hand, showed no interest nor the slightest inch of a smile, as he stood self-assuringly by his mother's side, exchanging a private word with her as they guided you into the dining room, where the meals had been set and prepped already.
Questions had been asked about your studies, job and general background, although you felt they were said more out of obligation than the actual itch of wanting to know.
Aegon gradually grew rigid as the minutes went by, his mother and brothers, exchanging quick jabs at the eldest for his indecency, lack of dignity in his ventures and poor choices. You felt for Aegon deeply, wounded mutually by their brutal words, for it seemed as though they were reluctant to get to know the reinvented version of himself. Stubborn in their perceptions of him, deeming him "incapable of change" as Aemond insisted, in the confinement of the kitchen as he aided his mother in the dishes... You had overheard their private conversation, although refused to mention such things to Aegon, for it would upset him even more.
For a while, Aegon continued to divert the conversation onto you, wanting his family to optimise the opportunity to know you, although it seemed his efforts were pinned against him.
After revealing that Aegon and yourself had met mutually at a party, you'd witnessed a sly, haste exchange between Aemond and his mother, before Alicent coughed up the audacity to say:
"So I see you are not so different from where my son finds his usual tastes."
"Aegon, you didn't know-" Slowly walking over towards his dejected side on the couch, tenderly rubbing small circles on his back.
"If anything, they were quite volatile to you too, baby."
"Yes, but Y/N this is nothing new for me...If I'm being honest with myself, I gave them all the reasons in the fucking world, to hate me, but you?-" His attention panned towards you, as his hands cupped your tearful face in his instinctively, a saddened look struck upon him as he noticed your hurt one.
"How could they say such awful things about you, my sweet, sweet angel-" Aegon leaning in closer, closed the short distance between you both, as he planted a passionate kiss against your soft, lipstick stained lips.
"I truly am sorry about their behaviour, baby- I'm going to have a real, hard chat with them tomorrow, trust. Let's just get ready for bed." As you nodded your head in agreement, you both stood up, Aegon following you closely behind, holding one hand, whilst the other cheekily spanked your ass, as you gracefully walked. Turning swiftly to face him, now a sly look strewed across your face, you knew that Aegon deserved some sort of reward for putting up with tonight.
****
Nonetheless, you fucked him real good, it seemed it greatly helped to relieve the tension built up from the night prior, for the both of you. Having been drained mentally from the dinner, and physically exhausted from the long, sensual rounds of sex, you awoke the next morning to Aegon's missing figure from his usual side of the bed. Your arm reaching out only to be met with cold, empty sheets, instead you reached over for your phone. The unlocked screen had already displayed an unread message from "Aegon."
"Gone to speak to my family, angel. Don't wait to have breakfast, I'll be back for some more fucking as my reward. I love you."
You couldn't help but smile, for despite how belittled Aegon was, he was considerably resilient. He never hesitated to defend those that he cared for, those that he sincerely loved, and you were nothing less.
He had retuned an hour later, and disclosed the exact discussion that had taken place. From what you'd heard, it seemed Aegon had plentiful to say this time, whereas his mother and Aemond, remained to be the ones biting their venomous tongues. Giving them the ultimatum to apologise, or he'd refused to see them once more, Alicent immediately insisted he bring you over for another attempt of a family dinner.
Aegon and yourself agreed, however on your terms. You'd be the ones to arrange the date and time that best catered for yourselves.
And just as he'd mentioned and liked to remind you, you had rewarded Aegon with a generous amount more of fucking, before lounging around in each other's pleasant company. Warmly embraced in Aegon's arms on the couch, as you nestled in, to watch a cringe rom-com, the night before slowly became a blur.
It was the small, precious moments that mattered most...

Tumblr media
Pairing: Daemon Targaryen x Reader
TW: blood and violence (like, a lot of it... they are no good people here)
Summary: The final duel of the tourney is about more than glory. 
The loud voice of the announcer rose over the excited buzz of the crowd as everyone’s attention turned to the grounds. Whether everybody already knows that this fight is not merely for glory, for winning a battle and be rewarded with the cheers of the masses, you are not sure. Whether everybody knows that this battle will not end until one of the men lies dead in the dust. 
The black mare was huffing as impatiently as his rider, proud Sir Dondarrion of Blackhaven, the man to be your husband in a fortnight, was baring his teeth at his rival. That was his most distinguished feature, you thought, his pride. Sir Dondarrion has been well-mannered and always kind towards you, but you remember the evening when swords were drawn at the feast in the Great Hall. Will you fight me at the Red Keep, sir, the Lord Lannister had called, Arbor wine letting the word fall freely from his mouth, behind the same walls the Rogue Prince has fucked the future Lady Dondarrion against. You have no doubts that Daemon Targaryen would have killed him if he were there that day. Always the one to protect his Lady’s honour, you thought, even though this honour was lost years ago in his very own bed.
The ruby eyes of the dragon on the prince’s helmet are piercing directly at his opponent. He had told you once, over quiet talks and limbs tangled in his sheets, that it was intentionally so, that the last things his enemies were to see is the red eyes of the monster and the final blow of Dark Sister. Daemon doesn’t look at you, and he doesn’t look at the crowd as well, pays the cheers from the people no mind for what is probably the first time in his life. His pale eyes are fixed at the knight in front of him, for both of them the battle has already started. 
The announcer shouts something that you don’t really want to hear, because it makes all of this real, presents the Lord of Blackhaven and the Prince of the City and the squire boys move out of the field as the two opponents take their final places before the tourney begins. 
You try to remember how it got to this, how you had begged Daemon to stay out of the lists just this time, as if it were possible. As if he would have listened to you. You pleaded in fury, in tears, but your dragon prince had stood stubborn and unwavering, and you hated him for it. You wondered if it was not planned so from the start, if Sir Dondarrion was not a dead man walking from the very day he had asked for your hand. If the Lannisters had not called on his pride and bride and make him challenge Daemon, would have the prince done it himself?
You remember the tears his calloused hand had to wipe from your cheek, how sweet his kiss had been and his quiet reasoning of I will not let another have you, and you knew there was no way of changing his mind. You had spent the most of the night in his arms anyways, he would not let desperation lurk into your heart. His lips on yours were soft and gentle for the first time in ages and every time you suggested he should get some sleep before the dawn, he would wordlessly spread your legs again and silence you with his body, his fingers or his mouth. 
The whispers in the crowd are intensifying, bringing you back to reality, and at last the announcer makes his way out of the field. Your breath hitches in your throat and you can barely register that the two riders are charging at each other until you hear the sound of their clashing and the roar of the crowd. They turn around at the end of the way and you see the young squires hurry to give them both another lance. The force of the clash made them both turn to shreds. 
The two riders storm at each other again, but the faint smell of copper coming from the grounds makes you glance down before you see them crash. There is no time to clean the blood of the fallen from the battlefield, you think as you watch the dark red stains drying in the dust. The need to turn your head around and vomit the contents of your stomach grows and you have to take a deep breath through your nose. 
You hear the heavy sound of a body hitting the ground and your eyes shoot up to the battle again. Before you can realise what is happening, a hand reaches out from somewhere and grabs yours. Princess Rhaenys does not look at you, her eyes are glued to the tourney, but her fingers are wrapped around your palm and she gives you a firm squeeze. Courage, as if she’s trying to say, you will not face this fear alone. Your stomach turns up. 
Daemon is lying on the ground, unhorsed, and the crowd is cheering. Seven Hells, you know this fight is not going to end now. And indeed, the Rogue Prince stands up, the squire runs with Dark Sister in his hands and hands it to Daemon. Dondarrion is on his feet as well, greatsword in hand and the battle starts again, more vicious than before. You allow yourself a quick glance up, to the Royal Lodge. King Viserys’ eyes are fixed on the fight, and he does not seem particularly worried, even though you can see his silver-haired Queen whisper in his ear, worry evident on her ethereally beautiful Valyrian face. Whether the King puts enough faith in his brother, or he does not truly understand the reasoning behind this fight, you will never know. 
You are not sure how long the battle lasts, for you it feels like forever. The only thing ringing in your ears is the sound of metal meeting metal and the occasional heavy grunts coming from the knights. You let out a quiet, throaty sound when Dondarrion charges, sword landing on the Prince’s shield, the blow strong enough to make him lose balance and allow himself to be pushed in the dust. Dondarrion lifts his sword, gripping it with both of his hands, to aim for the fallen Prince’s head. “He’s going to kill him,” someone whispers worriedly, maybe Alicent Hightower, but you do not turn to confirm your suspicions. You grip Rhaenys’ hand tighter instead and fight the urge to scream. 
Dondarrion hacks down with all of his strength, but Daemon manages to roll to the side and the blow lands a hand away from his head. The Lord’s blade is stabbed into the ground and with his hands clutching the handle, he realises his mistake too late. You don’t even see where the dagger comes from, just the glint of light that reflects from it as Daemon stabs it into his opponents knee. With a cry of pain and surprise, Lord Dondarrion slumps to his knees, hand instinctively reaching for the wound. Daemon does not allow it and his kick lands exactly there, pushing his mutilated opponent to the ground. The audience cheers as the Prince stands up to kick the greatsword away, rising over Dondarrion like a dragon over a sheep, his own weapon in hand. 
The knight doesn’t even have a chance to yield before Dark Sister is plunged straight into his throat and a spray of blood covers the black steel of Daemon’s helmet. The cheers from the crowd quiet down, a desperate mother’s wail comes from somewhere in the lines. But it matters not, it matters not anymore because it’s over now and you can finally breathe with no heaviness on your chest. You are still gripping Rhaenys’ hand, even when Daemon is claimed winner and walks away from the dead body lying in the dust. 
The rose garland is covered in blood when he lays it in your lap and his voice is softer than summer rain. “For you, Milady,” he says, “Queen of Love and Beauty.”
