Utopia (Modern! Daemon Targaryen x female reader) (Non Canon AU) (18+)
Read chapter 8 here // Series Masterlist
Chapter 9
Summary: Daemon gives you the gift of a lifetime.
Warning: 18+ sex ,period sex (if it bothers you skip the scene) death and destruction that comes from a ship wreckage, smut, sex, menstrual sex, unprotected sex. Some inconsistency with ship sinking, i researched as much as I could
Tumblr media
You were sitting in the office of the hiring manager of Casatopia, a popular five star hotel just outside London, it was closer to your house though and that's what you liked. Emma had asked Dalton to give your name for the vacant sous chef position so you decided to give it a try.
You couldn't just stay at home and miss Daemon like crazy when he wasn't around you, being at home all day long was driving you bonkers. The topia in the name made you feel slightly uneasy but you ignored the thought and decided to focus on the interview.
“So how was it at night ..over there?” Preston, the manager, asked you so you gave him a confused look, hoping that he would be able to provide you with a bit more context.
“I apologize I don't understand” you mumbled politely so he gave you a small smile.
“On the island I meant, I hope I'm not stepping on your boundaries, I'm just absolutely fascinated by your survival story” he said to you, his tone was gentle and filled with genuine curiosity.
Of Course he was curious. As soon as people recognised you this was how it went, perhaps you should consider scraping 'Worked as a sous chef on Queen Utopia' from your resume. You couldn't help but feel that it may not be the most professional topic to discuss at a job interview.
“It was tough but atleast I wasn't alone, I had someone who kept me sane there, there are people on this earth who have survived months with no one by their side so I'm grateful to not be alone in that situation” you mumbled politely as you understood where he was coming from.
Prior to your experiences on the ship and the island, you were one of those people who would read about survival stories and be amazed at what the survivors had accomplished. You always found it impossible to imagine yourself in such a situation and couldn't comprehend how someone could have the resilience and to make it through something like that.
That was, until you found yourself in a similar situation on the island, and your survival instincts began to kick in.
“Yeah I know..Daemon Targaryen, you lot are famous” You gave him a tight lipped smile as he said that.
A news article had picked up Lily's reddit post which had then reached the mainstream media. The backlash was brutal, but you and Daemon stood firm and refused to get caught up in the drama. You both knew that your love and appreciation for each other shouldn't have needed any justification after the traumatic event you both had been through. It should have been self-explanatory,
“Alright you're hired” he said to you so you furrowed your brows as he didn't really ask anything about your work experiences.
“You don't want to know anything about my capabilities or -” he interrupted you before you could even finish your sentence.
“Dalton told me enough..i just wanted to meet you if I'm being honest”
Were you getting some sort of hero privilege because of your suffering? You weren't sure if you enjoyed being favored like this or not. The attention you received was overwhelming and at times made you feel uncomfortable, especially when it seemed like people were looking at you as some kind of hero rather than a regular human being who just happened to have survived a traumatic experience when there really wasn't any other option.
“Our live band quit on us a few days ago and we are looking for a band again, though i have connected with the manager already, i hope The Dragonriders would accept the job”
You sighed as he said that and you were going to politely decline the job offer but then he passed you the salary slip and you accepted it almost immediately, it was more than you could have ever imagined.
Later that day as you reached home after that weird interview session, there was a text from Daemon, he was supposed to meet you at your place..
Tumblr media
You grabbed a few things and called a cab to make way to his place. He had given you a key to his house for emergencies purposes and normally you'd just knock but you decided to make use of the key this time, as you knew that Daemon was in pain and likely resting in bed.
As you entered his bedroom he was laying on the bed with his head squished into the pillow so you climbed into the bed and wrapped your arm around him, as soon as he felt your touch his arm circled around your waist and he placed his head between the crook of your neck. His eyes were bloodshot red, his face was warm to the touch as well, he seemed flushed and even though he was in misery at the moment you couldn't help but notice how pretty he looked like this.
“Let me take care of you ok..did you take your pill?” You asked him softly as you scratched his scalp so he barely groaned in response.
“I'll be right back okay?” you got up from the bed, turning off all the lights in the room, as you knew how sensitive Daemon was to bright lights. You brought out the candles you had packed with you and began lighting them, casting a warm soft glow around the room. You then made your way to the kitchen to fetch a bowl of ice water and a wet cloth. Once everything was ready, you returned to Daemon's room and gently tapped his shoulder to get his attention so he scooted closer and placed his head on your lap.
Dipping the cloth in the icy cold water you placed it on his forehead and he sighed as he felt the cooling sensation, he opened his eyes to look at you for a moment, his lips curved into a faint smile before he closed his eyes again and allowed you to do your thing.
He had never had anyone caring about him like this, this was one of those things that made him feel closer to you on the island and he had come to realize how precious you actually were inside out.
And now your value in his life was something nobody else would ever be able to replicate or replace.
During his migraine attacks the most Lily ever did for him was that she'd sing at times and not that he was going to compare you two, he appreciated her efforts too but you just did it differently, you took care of him in ways he always wanted to be cared for.
He laid there quite for what felt like hours and as the burning pain gradually subsided, he took your hand and kissed it lovingly before he asked you to stop, he just wanted to hold you now and cuddle the night away.
“Emma found us a gig” he mumbled so you sighed in response. You were well aware of the gig.
“She found me a job as well at Casatopia” you said to him so nodded in acknowledgement. He already knew about that.
“Fate” he muttered softly so you pecked on his lips.
“It's giving me deja vu.. doesn't it feel weird to you that we'd be working again at the same place, in the hospitality industry no less? And there's literally topia in the name?”
He pulled away a little as you said that, he wasn't really thinking about it until you pointed it out.
“Are you worried something awful is going to happen again?” he asked you with concern evident in his voice.
“Yeah..what if the hotel burns down or explodes? Or something” you mumbled, your voice held a sense of foreboding.
“That's not going to happen sweetheart..you can't go about your life living in such fear but that is not to say that your fears are not valid, they truly are ..but no matter what happens I'll find you like you have found me..i promise okay?” he reassured you gently and you couldn't help but smile at that. The trauma was indented into you so deeply but with him by your side life was so much easier to deal with.
“Are you feeling okay now?” You asked him so he hummed in response,
“I'd feel much better if you'd ride me right about now” he gave you a mischievous smirk so you tapped on his cheek lightly.
“Dirty boy” you mumbled as you climbed on top of him and immediately unbuttoned his pants. Sometimes you both needed this quick raw fuck where no foreplay was a necessity or required, you just wanted to feel him inside you and he was more than eager to spill into you as fast as you could make him.
“Would you keep your schedule clear for the next week?” he asked you so you looked at him curiously.
“The whole week? I'm starting that job..”
“Can you talk to them and start a week later?” He mumbled as his breath hitched in his chest when you sunk down on him,
“Normally it would have seemed impossible but considering that manager is such a fan of ours I think I can manage” you chuckled softly and that made him smile too.
“Mmmm the trauma has its perks huh?”
You rode him very slowly at first as you just wanted to feel him in there, your fingers worked the buttons of his shirt and then you leaned down to suck on his neck before you lowered your mouth and pressed kisses on his bare chest.
“What are you planning?” You whispered in his ear so he gave you a smile.
“I'm taking you somewhere sweetheart”
“I can't ask where?”
He shook his head as you said that.
“It's a surprise”
“Alrighty”
Next day while Daemon was rehearsing with the band you sat down in front of the tv and received a surprising albeit not really shocking news, you had a feeling that Danny had something to do with the ship sinking incident and you were proven right.
He had come out in the open to tell that he had inadvertently left the cargo hatch open on the lower deck because he was distracted by something and someone, which allowed water to enter and resulted in the sinking, when he had realised it was too late to fix it. His video had received a million views where he was seen crying and apologizing because he couldn't bear the guilt of it anymore.
Even though Danny hadn't directly implicated Lily in his statement, you couldn't shake the feeling that her involvement was still tied to the tragedy because she had sent that voicemail that night to Daemon mentioning Danny and you had seen Danny at her house that night.
As you watched the news, you found yourself at a loss for words. How could Danny have made such a devastating mistake, especially when so much was at stake? The consequences of his actions were unfathomable, and you couldn't help but feel a mixture of anger, sadness, and frustration bubbling up inside you.
People had lost their lives, families had been torn apart, and all because of one person's negligence.
You felt enraged because he was the reason why you had to suffer for so long on that Island, all of this for what?
All you felt in that moment was resentment and anger towards Lily and Danny, that night when he looked into your eyes you didn't understand that look he gave you but now you knew it was probably guilt.
Given the severity of the situation, it was likely that he was going to get charged with manslaughter and his life was ruined, that was given.
When you saw Daemon that day he seemed lost too so you just wrapped your arms around him and hugged him tightly to comfort him.
“Did she ever tell you about this?”
You asked him as you pulled away so he shook his head lightly,
“I can't make sense of it…how could you be involved in something like that and then..she must have known that ship would sink and she didn't even try to warn us or— i -” you rubbed his shoulders with your fingers to comfort him as you heard his voice breaking, he was at loss of words as well, same as you but it was more difficult for him because Lily was involved.
“You spend years with someone and you think you know who they are but I.. didn't know her ..at all. How could I have been in love with her if I didn't know her like that?” his eyes teared up as he questioned you so you cupped his cheeks and kissed his forehead.
“It's not that easy.. love is complex..you can't put it in a box like that Daemon..you loved her but honestly she never deserved your love”
He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer as you said that, until now he had never heard you saying anything against Lily even when she gave you every reason to do so but now he understood your resentment as he felt the same way about it. He resented her now especially because ever since he had returned all she had tried to do was possess him again, she didn't care what he had gone through and she definitely didn't care that she was one of the reasons why that had happened to him.
He really thought that perhaps with time a friendship could develop between them again but this revelation had changed that for him. He didn't want her in her life anymore, he didn't want to be around her in any form.
A week later you were packing for that surprise trip and Emma offered to help you with that,
“Where is he taking you?” She asked you so you shrugged in response as you didn't know yourself where he was taking you. This was his big surprise.
“He won't say anything..I was hoping he had spilled something to Aemond or Cole-”
“Nahh Aemond would have told me”
You nodded as she said that, the next morning he picked you up in the earliest and as you reached the dock with him your blood ran cold so he took his seat belt off and grabbed your hand.
“I need you to trust me, okay? Can you?” he asked you softly so you gulped in nervousness.
“Are we.. going on a boat ride?” your voice shook as you spoke so he nodded,
“It's going to be ok..I'll take care of you I promise.. I just ..just trust me please”
You cupped his cheeks as he said that. The ocean terrified you, anything to do with ships or boats scared you but you wanted to trust him because you had a feeling this was something really important to him and you had a feeling wherever he was taking you would only bring you happiness because he was certain of it.
As you boarded the high-speed boat, the churning waters and the speed at which the vessel was traveling brought back memories so you spent most of the time being in the deck with Daemon,
Apart from you two there were two trained operators who were going to drive you both towards the destination, you noticed how the boat was equipped with everything you'd ever need in the case of an emergency. Plenty of rations, clothes and other necessities were available.
“How much did you spend on this?” You asked him softly as you both were cuddling on the bed so he gave you a smirk.
“You don't have to worry about that..I wanted to do this for both of us”
He was being so cryptic and mysterious and perhaps you'd have felt wary of a man's intentions but it was Daemon, your cavemon and if there was something you knew about that man then it was the fact that he'd never hurt you or harm you in anyways.
With Daemon by your side the time always seemed to race so approx two days later as you finally reached your destination he put a blindfold over your eyes and asked you to not try to peek until he said so.
You couldn't help but giggle, his excitement was infectious.
He wrapped his arms around your waist as he guided you off the boat and as soon as he put you down you felt the warm sand beneath your feet and let out a literal gasp.
“Daemon–” your voice came out in a whisper and as you inhaled the air, your eyes widened.
You didn't even have to guess anymore as you recognized the scent of your surroundings immediately. You had spent six months here after all.
You were back on the island, the island that had saved your life in a way and brought the love of your life closer to you.
The uninhabited island that was now owned by Daemon Targaryen and had a name now. Utopia- a place where everything was perfect.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Note: There will be an epilogue for this to sum it up. But this was all I had to tell about Mr Cavemon and his brave girl that risked everything for him. Hope my lovely few readers had enjoyed this story 🥺

Green Skin (II) -Daemon Targaryen
Tumblr media
pairing:Daemon Targaryen × Targaryen Oc
Content:Incest, Age-Gap,Angst
•••
Rhaenyra was leaving King's Landing, Alys hadn't stopped crying since she heard the news.
Rhaenyra and her children were her only company lately, Aegon was busy drinking all day, Helaena was obsessed with a new bug in her collection and didn't leave her chambers, Aemond is always studying, and Daren isn't even on landing! King !.
"Why does mother have to go? I don't want Nyra to leave.
Alicent braided her daughter's hair while he comforted her.
—rhaenyra decided, your father and I can't do anything, my love
for a moment only sobs were heard until they faded away.
Do you think I'll be a good mother?
The question took Alice by surprise.
"Why do you ask that, Alyss?"
—I don't know, I think that being a mother is something horribly beautiful, I would like to have many children, it would be nice to braid many hairs
oh poor alys, if she only knew—yeah, that would be nice.
The news of the death of laena velaryon, and the fire where harwin strong nearly died came at the same time.
alys never got the chance to meet laena, but hearing that the poor woman died because she couldn't bring her baby into her world made him want to die with her.
She couldn't stop thinking about how horrible her death was, having to ask your dragon to burn you because the son you expected so much will never come out of you.
poor vhagar, alys vowed never to do such a thing to her dragon, abraxas.
Dressed in a dress similar to her mother's, she was standing next to her father, she knew that even having her next to her he would never pay attention to her.
At the end of the ceremony, she decided to look for rhaenyra.
"Nyra! I'm sorry for your loss and that of your uncle." The sisters hugged each other.
"Thank you, sweet child." Rhaenyra eyed the dress her half-sister was wearing with disgust.
"Could you help me look for Luke? I can't find him." Alys nodded and went looking for her nephew.
It was getting dark and she still hadn't found Luke, when she got to the beach she could see a figure dressed completely in black, with short silver hair, her uncle, her daemon.
"Uncle! I should go back to the castle, it's almost night." The man turned to see her and smiled.
"Alysanne, right?" the redhead nodded.
—I'm very sorry for your loss uncle, I hope the gods take care of laena
Daemon shifted his gaze to the young woman's chest, a star necklace at her neckline.
"Do you want to walk with me, niece?"
Alysanne wanted to refuse, she had to go back to the castle but the look that her uncle gave her made her accept.
Alys didn't know when, how, or why, but she had her uncle on top of her, inside of her.
listening to how her uncle moaned her name, alys had never heard a man moan, she thought that wonderful noise was a gift from the gods.
Daemon kissed her with such passion, he caressed her hair lovingly.
"I'll take you away, I'll make you my wife and you'll have my children." Her words moved her but at the same time scared her.
What would her mother think? She has just lost her maiden to her father's brother, a man who has two daughters close to her age.
when they were getting dressed a gentleman came looking for them.
Alys ran in looking for her younger brother with daemon trailing behind her.
“Aemond!” Alys knelt down to her level, “who did this to you?
Her screams were unleashed once more, Alys felt someone grab her tightly by her wrist.
"Where were you? Your brother lost an eye and you weren't here!" Alicent's voice was heard throughout the room, causing everyone to look at the princess and then at the rogue prince.
I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk on the beach.
Apparently Rhaenyra had given the same excuse when she entered with Sir Harwin Strong.
When Alicent lunged at Rhaenyra with a dagger in her hand, Daemon saw the perfect opportunity and took Alys by the hand, they ran off.
Running away from everything, from everyone.

Hey! I read this and was wondering if you could write a drabble/imagine on that Dad! Daemon is training the boys (Rhaegon, jace, Luke and Aemond and Aegon if you want) and Mom!reader, Alyssa, Baela and Rhaena are watching and one of them makes a comment about girls not knowing how to fight properly or something (you decides) and mom!reader (who is very good with a sword, by the way) fights Daemon and wins (with the girls cheering) thus proving otherwise, please? (just a moment of fun and relaxation with the children with them)
it's been so long since i last wrote mom!reader in our dad!daemon au!! i had some fun writing this, specially because i love writing the kids <3 i wrote this drabble based on my favorite scene from the fire & blood book so, i hope you like 💓
"I like when father comes to the training yard. Ser Criston doesn't like to let me watch." Alyssa said excitedly, spinning around you.
"Oh, really?" You frowned, confused.
You knew that Alyssa herself had asked Viserys for his permission to let her watch the boys training anytime she wanted to. Alicent once had told her that little girls aren't supposed to hold swords, that is a man's job. But you knew your daughter had your husband's temper, and she wouldn't let the Queen tell her what to do. She asked her uncle to let her train with the boys, but the king refused.
But Demon had his training lessons with her and your oldest son, so it was quite obvious that your daughter had a thing for fighting. And you liked to encourage her. Since very young, you liked swords and self-defense training, so perhaps your little girl took a little taste for it after you. You had your own sword, your own shield, your own armor, and yet you wore dresses, and was only seen in ringmail for dragonriding. Nowadays, no one would take you as a shieldmaiden, but you knew that you still remained talented in your bones if you had a sword in your hands.
"I'm glad we can watch!" Baela grinned, looking up at you.
"Yeah, Baela and I don't get to see the training as much as Alyssa does. Ser Criston says it's not up for little girls to be on the training yard." Rhaena took your hand as you walked together to the camp.
You could hear the sound of steel clashing from afar. The boys were training in pairs; Rhaegon and Aemond, Luke and Maegon, but Aegon and Jacaerys were both against Daemon. You and the girls stayed close, but not too close, since there were too many people holding swords in the same space.
You watched your husband having his fun with the boys. You knew how he felt about Aemond and Aegon, but he wouldn't hurt the kids on purpose. It was fun to watch him turning them against each other.
"He's only using one hand, how can you be so slow?!" Aegon shouted, scolding Jacaerys as he tried to strike Daemon.
"You're not doing any better, Aegon." Jace huffed, trying his hardest to touch Daemon.
The Rogue Prince was quick to dodge the boys’ moves, and easily push them both to the ground. Aegon groaned loudly, tossing his sword in anger.
"Better luck next time." Daemon smirked.
The girls laughed, watching the prince having a meltdown. Aegon could be so dramatic sometimes...
"What are you laughing at? Honestly, what are you even doing here? This is a place for men only! We know you want to train, but women can't do shit with swords in their pretty little hands!" Aegon yelled.
You cocked an eyebrow. You couldn't understand since when this training yard had been a "place for men only". Your husband held the sword of the queen conqueror, Visenya Targaryen, and this didn't mean anything for them? Women had done so many things for this realm, and yet there was no place in the training yard for them? "Who decided we can't fight too?", you wondered.
You looked down to Alyssa, who stood beside you with quite a frown once she heard that she didn't belong there.
"Stay. If your father asks, say I'll be back soon." You told her, leaving a kiss on top of her head before you headed inside.
Daemon watched you leave and immediately came towards his daughter, who hugged his legs before he could even say a word.
"Where did your mother go? I thought she would watch the training with you girls." The prince asked, taking the little girl in his arms.
"She said she will be back soon." Alyssa shrugged.
No one expected you to come back with your hair braided in a crown around your head, wearing a full armor and ringmail, and with your sword in your hand. Maybe the armor was a bit too much, but it was good to wear something that once felt like a second skin to you.
The boys chatted between themselves, until one of them saw you and went silent. When everyone's sight caught you, they were too shocked to say anything. You felt powerful. You felt like showing them you belonged in that yard, and like you should show them what women could do with a sword in their pretty little hands.
"So, this place is supposed to be for men only. I'm guessing it's because 'women can't fight'?" You smirked, staring directly at Prince Aegon, "But tell me, who's too much of a man to defeat me? I mean, I'm only a woman, so I think it wouldn't be that hard, right?"
Alyssa looked at you with wide eyes. She was too marveled to express any words. She had never seen you in your armor, and you never talked about your swordswoman days. You thought your support was enough, but you left Daemon to be the only role model as a warrior in her life. Today you would be her knight in shining armor.
"I'm not fighting a woman!" Aegon said.
Daemon smirked, looking at you with a hunting gaze, that same look he used moments before taking you to bed. You stared at him, drawing your sword and pointing it out towards him.
"Perhaps my lord husband would like to give me this honor?" You bit your smirk as the children gasped at your challenge.
"Mother, you can't be serious!" Maegon frowned.
"You cannot possibly think that you can defeat father in sword combat." Rhaegon stared at you as if you had gone insane, and perhaps everyone shared the same thought. Everyone but Alyssa, and Daemon.
"It would be a pleasure to finally show my pupils some real sword fighting. It's not that bullshit that Cole tries to teach you, and unfortunately, I'll not be here everyday to show it to you. Today my lady wife will show you how it's done. Perhaps you can learn a thing or two from her, Aegon." Daemon teased, unsheathing Dark Sister and going to the center of the yard.
You passed by his side, and Daemon grabbed your arm, making you stop. You smirked and looked up to him, towering your body.
"You look really hot right now." He practically howled near your ear, letting go of your arm.
"That's how it's done." Daemon pointed out, staring at the children whose mouths fell open to the prince's bleeding face.

I got a few things to say and this might be a long rant. Spoilers below and please understand that I'm following the show's timeline not the book. There are also some book spoilers as well.
Aemond Targaryen, Daemon Targaryen, Alicent Hightower, Otto Hightower, Aegon II Targaryen you'll all pay for your crimes!
PSA for all the people that need to hear this, AEMOND TARGARYEN INTENDED TO KILL LUCERYS VELARYON. I REPEAT, AEMOND TARGARYEN INTENDED TO KILL LUCERYS VELARYON. If you think otherwise I need whatever alcohol you're having. He was directly responsible for getting Lucerys killed. He was chasing and antagonizing an inexperienced rider and dragon, on an old war dragon (who apparently likes standing on business) during a storm no less, what did he think was going to happen? “BuT VHaGar" nothing! Yeah that old ass lizard wasn't listening but Arrax in a scared attempt was trying to protect himself and Luke. He stole Vhagar when they were younger, claimed it, got jumped (which was the funniest shit though), beat up his cousins in that same fight and was about to bash in the head of the next heir in line to the throne when his feral little brother cut out his eye. Which he himself said was a fair price so there was no reason to be harbouring that animosity towards his nephew and allowing him to live rent free in his mind. He won in the end; the fight when they were children and the oldest, largest dragon. Aemond is one of the few people directly responsible for the suffering of our sweet girl Helaena and her children. You'll pay for your crimes!! I'm not going to say he kick started the dance he just fast tracked it.
Tumblr media
DAEMON TARGARYEN IS AN ABSOLUTE VILE PIECE OF SHIT! Look if you read the books and watched the show you'll know that this man isn't a ray of sunshine or a breath of fresh air, I'm sticking to the show timeline, he's an absolute ass. Good father and semi decent husband aside (the bar and standard for both those claims are in the 1000th level of purgatory btw) he's a vile piece of shit. Sure it's just Daemon doing demon Daemon things anyway but BLOOD AND CHEESE? BLOOD AND FUCKIN CHEESE?!!! And the one that has to suffer for it is Helaena and those babies? Go after Aemond and euthanize him, not after Helaena and her kids. He's trash. He knew they didn't deserve that.
Tumblr media
Alicent Hightower is a bitter hating ass bitch. I'm not sorry. Otto raising her aside, she needs to pay for her crimes. Alicent knew good and damn well that Viserys didn't want Aegon on the throne. So what did she do? Help her father usurp the throne. It was a fickle reason for her usurping the throne too. Realistically speaking that wasn't to protect her children. She just hated Rhaenyra and couldn't stand the fact that she was to be crowned. Not accepting the marriage proposal between Jace and Helaena because she was bitter was dumb as hell too. Putting her disappointment of a son on that throne, who is also a rapist was/is bound to end in shambles. She's also directly responsible for Helaena suffering as well. Marrying that poor girl to him even if it would've made her his queen.
Tumblr media
Otto Hightower is a bum. He's a manipulative piece of shit and he deserves the absolute worst. Why would he do that to Alicent? She got stuck with the asshole for a dad and he suffered his daughter which in turn suffered his granddaughter and her children. For all his cunning and brains he didn't have the merit to do it on his own. So he unwillingly involved his daughter to put a green on the throne and they chose the worst of the worst green too. He orchestrated their own downfall. He'll pay.
Tumblr media
I don't even want to give that bum a spare thought but AEGON II TARGARYEN IS FILTH. There isn't anymore to say. He wasn't a good husband, certainly not the father of the year, he isn't a good king and he's also a rapist. He knew he wasn't supposed to be on that throne. He said it himself. Instead of growing a backbone and standing up to his mother and her entourage, he decided to play a major role in usurping Rhaenyra's birthright. Which was reaffirmed again and again and again. He's responsible for his suffering and the suffering of Helaena and his children, the ones he claimed and all his other illegitimate ones. Rhaenys should've ended it at his false coronation. He needs to pay.
Tumblr media
All in all, Helaena doesn't deserve anything that's going to happen to her and her children. Jace, Lucerys, Rhaena, Baela, Joffrey, Aegon III and Viserys II didn't deserve to get wrapped up in it as well. They were kids. If Alicent wasn't hating so hard and had raised those boys with a shred of decency we could've seen one of the best eras to come out of a Targaryen dynasty and I'm not talking about if Jace did indeed marry Helaena (wouldn't necessarily have been possible either cause book spoiler, Jace and lucerys were already betrothed to the Targaryen twins since they were kids), I'm just talking about all the kids getting along and being friends.

"Who was really behind blood and cheese?"
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLuRCbUQ/
In this video on TikTok, the creator claims that Daemon couldn't possibly be behind blood and cheese because he's not a "schemer." 🙄
Tumblr media
"we don't know what really happened" ummmm is this person aware that this fiction? "no one was there" gurl wdym THIS IS FICTIONAL!!!
otto was literally fired because of b&c what is girlie even on about? it tore the family apart & made everyone insane. if he truly wanted to make the blacks look bad he could've just hired fake assassins & plan the whole thing with aegon. why the fuck would he kill aegon's heir ? aegon's sons are important because they secure his line. this take is so stupid i can't even take it seriously.
and then this person literally blames every single person except daemon. larys strong i can still somewhat comprehend but corlys???? corlys who accepted the council's ruling against his wife peacefully ? THAT corlys? that corlys who doesn't have a history of violence & is known to be peaceful and rational just woke up one morning and decided to order hits on innocent kids sure
the fact that this person says "rhaenyra might have done it" and thinks it's a more likely possibly then daemon really tells you everything you need to know lmao like yeah could've been the hightowers, the velaryons, the strongs, rhaenyra..... literally anyone but daemon lol
and "green propaganda?" GURL THIS IS NOT REAL!! THIS IS A BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAEMON'S NOT A REAL PERSON!!!!!!!!!!

judith, a witch(?!) in a pact with a malak named ba’ul
more info and reference sheet under the cut!
Tumblr media
here she is!! i'm happy with her look, less so with the rendered image of her, but we can't win them all.
like it says on the sheet, i was taking a lot of cues from her in game Draconic Lancer title costume. I wanted to lean into the white more than her default outfit, calling back more to the helmeted look she has before joining the party. but obviously, i didnt want to do anything that looked too much like that, or that had gold accents like her in game jacket and...skirt cape(??), because then she'd come off as kind of abbey coded. so i settled on pink accents, pulling from the colors on the Draconic Lancer look. i think it's fun. it gives her a girlish touch, which is a part of judy's character that i like! she's badass and secretive and mysterious, but she likes cute things too. well. her idea of cute, anyways...i think it suits her persona of being a "witch" in this setting. judy understands how to create an image.
speaking of that. unlike rita, who has a lot of magical knowledge, judy is basically a witch in name only. she understands how to form a pact, and not a lot past that! i think we landed on this for a few reasons:
Judy's father, Hermes, was a blastia expert, and naturally good at the magic of vesperia's universe. but judy was just the opposite, and in the novels she initially couldn't even grasp the talents natural to most krityans. being a witch who doesn't actually do much magic seems apt.
speaking of her dad, this also provides her connection to rita. they're both...witches. rita WILL NOT call judy a witch though, as you might imagine LOL (on that note, maybe hermes takes on the role of grim as the witch teacher?? again, we havent really decided on this LOL)
ba'ul obviously makes most sense as a malak, since the malaks and the entelechaia are both spirit equivalents for these tales entries. (well, entelechaia become spirits--listen, you get what i mean if you've played enough tales games) and judy MUST be with ba'ul! much like she only learns how to use her nageeg after interacting with ba'ul in the novel, i think she has just enough resonance to meet ba'ul, and their connection increases it, and she refines that ability as a "witch" enough to solidify their bond through a pact. they're family!
But yeah she uses a spear to fight. Ba'ul helps her imbue it with seraphic artes to a degree, but mostly its just the spear. I went with a design similar to the Brionac, since that's her Lore Important Weapon, but uh, i haven't designated this lance with lore importance itself. maybe we'll come up with something. looking at it right now i really think i should've colored it differently but IM NOT CHANGING IT, I ALREADY POSTED TO TWITTER!!! (it may change, hell, i decided to make it kind of glow pink in the image, im not fit for weapon designs)
Ba'ul always comes first to Judy, but neither of them is particularly biased against daemons or humans, despite knowing the truth about malevolence. she's quick to befriend yuri and loves repede (who is also a daemon, i gotta put him down on paper soon) and seems understanding of people's different circumstances. but she prioritizes her own goals first, so she'll disappear at the drop of a hat if it suits her, and yuri knows better than to count on her too much...
oh yeah. ba'ul is considered a "dragon" in vesperia, but that comes with a lot of BAGGAGE in this universe, so he's not a dragon here. he, um....he just looks like that. it's fine.

Apparently, I'm still not done.
(It's gonna be a week, y'all)
SO. The scene. You know, the one with the tension. The one that single-handedly gave me heart palpitations? That one.
When last we saw our intrepid psychos, Daemon had just run away with his tail firmly between his legs because he couldn't keep control of his niece, who he promptly abandoned in a brothel because of it. As one does.
But now, he takes her hand, he pulls her through the crowd, he circles around her, and then he...cedes all control to her.
The very first thing he says to her is: "Is this what you want?"
He points out that Laenor is not the one for her without ever daring to try to tell her who would be a better fit.
"Marriage is only a political arrangement, I hear."
"Mine was recently dissolved."
Yes, he tries to be cute in that moment because he wouldn't be Daemon if he didn't try to get some measure of control, but he doesn't push her. Everything he does in this scene is to get her to chose him, to say that he is what she wants.
He wants her to chose him because he has chosen her.
Like it or not, he had his moment in the brothel with Rhaenyra, promptly decided to ask her father for her hand, was reminded he already has a wife, fucked off the Vale, murdered Rhea, and rolled back up to the palace and placed himself directly in front of Rhaenyra.
And then she tells him yes. Yeah, she's still pissed at him, but she tells him, yes, take me as your wife.
And I absolutely believe he would have done it. He would have fought every Kingsguard, every Lord, even his own Gold Cloaks, to get her out of that castle and to Dragonstone to make her his wife because she chose him and that was all that mattered.
And then fuCKING CRISTON COLE, INSEL OF THE FUCKING YEAR, WHO COULDN'T CONCEIVE OF THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE MIGHT WANT A CROWN MORE THAN HIS DICK HAD TO GO AND FUCK IT UP FOR ALL OF US.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
Anyway. I have some feelings.

There's this weird thing going on Reddit right now where people are claiming that legally, Rhaenyra children are not bastards. And I was wondering if you agree or disagree. I think that people are just making up their own canon lore at this point.
Well. Okay I think I’m about to give an answer that is a little spicy but when I get around to my ultimate point I think everyone is going to go "yeah it makes sense that's how you feel, that tracks." Let me start with a personal story to be extra annoying-
My mom, after separating from my dad, swore of marriage. Marriage derailed her life, it had derailed my grandma's life, so she decided that even if she truly fell in love again, she would stay unmarried because clearly marriage jinxes love. She met my stepdad and as he had been divorced three times (and bitterly each time too) he agreed. He proposed to her but it was really just a commitment thing - I promise I am all in on this relationship, and by wearing this ring, you promise too. He moved in. They had one of my siblings, K, and still remained unmarried despite pushback from a few relatives and friends.
And then my stepdad needed knee surgery. And my mom couldn't put a domestic partner on her insurance. So a week before my second sibling, B, was born, after my aunt finished teaching summer school for the day, on what was a random Thursday afternoon, we all put on some nice clothes, piled into the van, and went down to city hall where they got hitched and I cried while everyone made fun of me because their toddler was literally running around the waiting room, it was not a big deal! My parents were both wearing jeans!!! We went to Baker's Square after, not even a nice restaurant! Do you know how this marriage has affected K and B? Not even a little! Do you know why?
BECAUSE NONE OF THIS MATTERS.
There is no moral or biological difference between a child born in wedlock and a child born outside of it. If you put K and B's blood under a microscope and I didn't tell you the ages would you be able to tell the difference between them? Would you be able to figure out which one of my siblings is a bastard and which one is trueborn? No, you would not because the difference doesn't exist biologically, ontologicaly, ecologically, anthropologically, whatever ology you want to bring up, and I think what this fandom finds most frustrating is that there is also no legal difference because LAWS ARE MADE UP. THEY DONT FUCKING MATTER. THEY ARE MAN MADE. I need this fandom to kill the prosecutor that lives in their head and stop arguing over whether Rhaenyra’s oldest boys are ~really~ bastards or not. The “truth” of this is just as it is for my family - it’s completely emotional, situational, and dependent on the feelings of the people involved in it!
Alicent & Otto & Criston, in both the books and the show, have an ulterior motive to insist that legally Rhaenyra’s boys are bastards. They can talk about propriety and legality all they want, but not only were those boys raised and loved by Laenor & Corlys, the concepts of marriage & wedlock & legitimacy are merely tools used to keep people in their place, something those three are very aware of because Otto manipulates the law in order to cut Daemon out of the line of succession which is exactly what kicks off this conflict in the first place! Corlys & Laenor & Rhaenyra have completely different but still existent ulterior motives to insist that legally the boys are true born. They can talk about “well technically” and cite whatever law or precedent they want but again, this same insistence on their legitimacy is a cover for the fact that if they ARE admitted to be not Laenor’s, they all lose access to power.
Not only that, but both Rhaenyra and Alicent become insistent on these competing legalities because they are worried the other will kill their children. Alicent all but confirms that she would have killed them if Rhaenyra had accepted terms with her nasty comment about their deaths when Rhaenyra takes the capital, but Rhaenyra throws her own insistence that she won’t hurt her siblings out the window with b&c.
So yeah, people are making up their own canon lore here because both Otto and Rhaenyra are ALSO making up their own canon lore here. That’s the entire point. Both of these sides have their own agendas, their own very rational fear of the other, and instead of realizing they have to compromise just a bit to get out of the shitshow they’ve found themselves in, they escalate at every turn until they’re all dead and so are their dragons.
The point is - I think everyone is missing here that George is making fun of you nerds who spent all your time insisting they’re bastards or not and debating the legality ad nauseum. He has Stannis ranting about the sanctity of the line of succession and House Baratheon and everyone misses that Stannis is a fucking loser for this because the line started one generation ago and if he didn't want Robert overthrown by Cersei maybe he should have made sure Robert wasn't raping and beating her all the time!! It is the same exact thing here!! If they didn't want Rhaenyra to have bastards, they shouldn't have jerked her around as heir for years then trapped her in a marriage she resented to fix their stupid ass mistakes and if they didn't want the whole thing to escalate into a bloody war, they shouldn't have murdered Luke and Jaehaerys!! That simple!!!!
LEGITIMACY AND MARRIAGE ARE NOT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Lark Among the Wolves and Dragons: Chapter 5
Tumblr media
Chapter 4
-----------flashback: King's Landing, Day of the Tourney-------
It was day of the tourney. Nobles and knights had come in from all over the realm to watch or participate in the spectacle. And based on what you heard, the timing couldn't have been more perfect as Queen Aemma had just gone into labor. 
Rhaenyra had asked you to accompany her by her side when the tourney started. You had noticed the princess had been a little on edge, which made sense given the state her mother was in right now. Hopefully this day long event would distract and, gods be willing, her mother would come out of her labors with little to no complications for both her and the newborn child regardless of the sex.
Before joining the princess at her spectators' box with her father, friend, and others from the family and small council, you found yourself at Daemon's tent, hoping to get a sneak peak of the prince before he took part in today's festivities.
"Ooh, look at you," you say as you walk into Daemon's tent. The prince in question just had his armor in place, which included his dragonesque helmet
Daemon heard your voice and turned to face you; he smirked a bit, feeling confident from the look of admiration at your face, "do you like what you see?"
"Oh, I sure do," you nod, approaching him and placing a hand on his shoulder and another on his chest, "I've always had a...certain weakness for men in armor.
"Well then," Daemon leans in, deciding to flirt back, "I may not be able to request your favor during the tourney, Little Lark, but perhaps you may grace me now with a kiss as a gesture of good luck...maybe a little something more to make up for denying me last night after I was so generous with you."
You smirk back and lean in, like you were going to give him a kiss, but instead you stop and whisper, "it was your choice to use your tongue on me, Prince, I never asked you to." Daemon groaned as you pulled away, you unable to hide your smirk at the power you currently had over this man, "besides," you continue, "can't have you distracted before the start of the festivities." "I said I was sorry," Daemon pouts like a child. "You actually didn't," you say, placing a hand on his cheek, "but when you win, I'll give you all the kisses you want. ANYwhere you want. It'll be worth it."
Daemon made a small smile, a glimmer of hope in his eyes, "I shall do my best then to earn those kisses." "Good luck, Prince," you laugh a bit and exit the tent to join Rhaenyra at her box.
------present day: Kaer Morhen-----------
You walk into the dinning hall with Ciri, seeing Geralt still there at the table with Lambert, Eskel, and Coen.
To your surprise, you notice Lambert holding Aemma in his arms.
"She really grows on you, doesn't she?" Eskel says, leaning in to make faces at the baby. "Yeah, when she's not screaming for ma in the middle of the night that is," Coen mutters, taking a bite of some bread, "but she is adorable. If only we knew who the father was."
"Well, we can rule out Geralt," Lambert jokes, "given that being a witcher had made him seedless."
"Very funny," Geralt deadpans, sipping from his mug.
"Seriously though," Eskel states, looking into the baby's face, "I don't think I've ever seen anyone with this type of blonde hair, it's almost silver." "And violet eyes," Coen adds, "unusual, unless the father was part elf."
"You people are really that eager to know who the father is?" you interrupt the conversation, getting the wolves' attention.
"Oh uh, good morning, (y/n)," Lambert greets. "Don't you lot have super senses or something?" you ask, taking a seat at the table, "I thought you would've heard Ciri and I walking from across the hall."
The witchers exchanged looks. "We got distracted," Coen provides for an excuse, "you daughter was distracting us."
"Really?" you snort, "far as I can see, she's been quiet this whole time."
"Uh, Lambert, I can see you and Aemma are having a special bonding moment, but I'd like to spend some time with her now," you reach out and the witcher gives you to her, seemingly reluctantly, "Huh, I never would've expected this from you." "To be fair, none of would expected this," Eskel smirks. "Why is this so surprising?" Lambert asks in disbelief. "I may admittedly be a little rough around the edges but I'm not a fucking monster."
"Hey, watch you language," you scold, giving Aemma a kiss on the cheek.
"Why is your face flushed?" Geralt asked Ciri as she took a seat next to him. Ciri straighten up a bit thinking about an answer to give him, "I uh, I was warming up in my room before we start training." "Oh she was warming up alright," you say with a smug look. Geralt frowned at you and her, not sure what that meant.
"Uh, where's Tris?" Ciri looks around. "We were running low on herbs in the alchemy lab," Geralt tells her, "She went with Vesemir to go gather some more."
"Knowing Vesemir, that'll be an all day task," Lambert snorts, "they have to be the right height, growth, and some other shit like that." 
"Lambert," you scold in a firm tone, "Not in front of Aemma." "How is that swearing?" Lambert exasperates, "I heard you say that over and over again last night!"
"Huh?" "What was that?" you and Geralt perk up.
Eskel, Coen, and Lambert exchange looks, "these walls are kind of thin," Eskel points out.
"Gross," Ciri mutters, taking a bite of food.
You felt your face heat up realizing what that meant. "Uh, Ciri" you ask hesitantly, "did you...?" "Nope," Ciri says quickly getting up, "I thankfully don't have witcher senses." Geralt had a look of confusion on his face. You lean in to ask him, "Geralt, did she ever get some kind of talk from her grandparents before...?" "I did, I don't need to have it again!" Ciri calls out, practically running out of the hall at this point.
The other witchers couldn't help but chuckle at this awkward situation.
Thankfully Aemma started fussing to be fed again, "I better go feed Aemma now," you say, quickly getting up.
"What, you can stay and whip em out for-" Lambert calls out, only to get nudged in the ribs by Geralt and earning a stern look from the white haired witcher.
----------------flashback: Red Keep Post tourney------------
It was late in the night when you roamed the halls, intent on getting some sleep.
It had been a long day.
The tourney, the death of the Queen and her newborn son, the funeral that followed after, it was all a lot to process right now.
You weren't close with the king or queen, but Rhaenyra was clearly grieving from the loss of her mother and newborn brother. When you were called to entertain her, she had you stop in the middle of your first song, which was a mourning song in elven which seemed appropriate for the occasion. With tears in her eyes, the princess had you dismissed early. You couldn't blame her, she needed some time alone to process her grief.
You had thinking about how the queen had died, having heard what the maesters did, cutting the poor woman open in order to save the babe, all without sedatives or herbs to numb the pain. You could only imagine how horrible the procedure it must've been for the poor queen, and how painful her death must've been; if this had been in any of the courts in the Continent, at least a mage would've been there to help ease the pains of labor and have spells on hand to turn the babe or sedate the queen if it came to that.
If you ever found yourself with child, you would pray you would be on the Continent when the time came to give birth.
You also thought about the king, and how he must've felt being in this position. You knew Viserys loved his wife, and to be put in this situation to choose to save his son or risk losing both, and only for both to be lost anyway...
You looked to see the door to Daemon's chambers was slightly cracked open. You didn't know if the man was in there right now, but you had no interest in knowing, especially after what you heard what he said earlier among his men.
Right when you passed though you heard his voice, "where do you think you're going at this hour, Little Lark?"
That moment, the prince came out and approached you. 
Before this, you were having a great time watching this man compete.
Daemon may had asked for Lady Alicent's favor at the tourney earlier today, but you knew his gazed was fixed on you when you stood by Rhaenyra's side.
You were about to turn, but Daemon was quick and pulled you back, "you finished earlier then usual this evening," the prince states. "Let me go," you struggle. "Why would I do that?" Daemon asks with a smirk, "have you forgotten so quickly what you promised me?" "You didn't win," you point out, "I'm not obligated to give you anything." 
Daemon grabbed your chin so you can face him. "Why put yourself through this hell you created?" he questions, "you want me, I know this."
"Why would I want you, especially after what you just said?" you scoff, succeeding in pulling back. "What I said?" "Your sister-in-law is dead, as is your nephew," you bring up, "your brother and niece are grieving from the loss, but instead of grieving with them you run off to the Silk Street and drink and celebrate your status as Heir. From what I heard, you referred to the dead babe as 'Heir for a Day'." "He was," Daemon points out, "even less then that as he only lived for a few hours."
"You truly have no shame," you say in disgust, "all you care about is yourself. You have got to be the most selfish, arrogant, insufferable person I've ever had the misfortune to come across." "Yet, you've never stopped me or pushed me away before, Little Lark," Daemon points out. "Don't call me that!" you exclaim, "I hate it when you call me that! I'm not your pet, I'm a person. And you're not a dragon. You...you..." "I'm what?" Daemon asks, a dark look in his face.
"You're a snake," you spat out, "A spineless, limbless snake." "I'd watch your tongue," Daemon warns, "this is a battle you can't win." "Ha, don't make me laugh," you joylessly laugh, "You come at me like you did Ser Criston, I'm sure I'd be the victor. Especially if you beat your chest and shout to the crowd rather then wait for me to yield like some brainless rock troll!"
Daemon grabbed your hair and pushed you against the wall. You grab onto the hand that was holding your hair and try to yank him off, but he takes his other hand to pin your hand to the wall.
You struggled when to break free while Daemon merely stared at you darkly. You stop when you realized how close his face was to yours.
Next thing you his lips were on yours.
You feel a hand going under your skirts, but this time you slap him away.
"I mean it, Daemon!" you say with a stern tone, "I don't want anything to do with you right now. I would've made an exception after the tourney, but after that display of disregard for the life of your family, I had second thoughts."
"If I wanted lectures about my conduct, I would've gone to my brother," Daemon mutters, making you roll your eyes and turn away, "We all mourn in different ways," he continues, leaning into you, sighing a bit, "I didn't mean it. I'm sorry, (y/n)." "Don't tell me, tell your niece and brother, they're the ones who are hurting right now," you say. "I know. And they're not the only ones right now," Daemon says, voice muffled into your neck, "I kept my word not to stick my prick in other women as promised. Please allow me to keep grieving my way while also upholding my promise. I wish to hear your sweet voice again...please, (y/n)."  
You sigh and turn around, ready to scold him again. But the moment you saw Daemon's face, you could see the tired look in his eyes, like he was bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders. You've seen that look before, in the face of another man you once cared for.
The Queen was Daemon's family too, and he had suffered a loss.
You sigh, hands moving to card through his long, soft, hair as you press your lips to his.
He took you to his room and you allowed him to do what he needed, what he wanted, if only to make him forget for a while.
He was fast and rough at first, but as soon as he came inside you, his movements became slower.
When the both of you were spent, you rested your head on Daemon's chest as he pulled you in and gave you a kiss on the head.
"Sing to me, Little Lark," you hear him whisper.
You did as he request, singing the same elven song you sang to the princess earlier today.

PUMPKINPIE (Gaming Phone)😁 6:47AM Woke up and you weren't there ☹️🥺
Queen of Hearts 💚 6:47AM hmmmmm ... i remember telling you that i was leaving 😆
PUMPKINPIE (Gaming Phone)😁 6:47AM I miss you. 💚
Queen of Hearts 💚 6:47AM miss you too
The sides of your eyes couldn't help but lighten at the sweet message your boyfriend left. Aemond was unorthodox, everyone who crossed his path had a horror story about him — but when he was with you, he was kind and wonderful. He made you feel like a rebel, a girl who had a choice about her body.
You lean on the sides of Daemon's car, waiting patiently for him to get his things. A part of your heart ached to be perfect. You needed a man who could treat you like a woman.
That same scent of orchids enters your nostril, Daemon was standing beside you — watching as you placed your phone inside of your purse. "Did I keep you waiting?" he asked, you shake your head, eyes trailing back down to the hems of his shirt. He was adorable.
"Why is shirt always untucked?" you chuckle while securing the purse in your left-shoulder. You were quick to leap in his direction, adjusting his shirt until they were carefully tucked inside of his pants. "I was rushing." he scratches his nape before holding the briefcase in his right hand, with your coffee in his left.
His bag was heavy, but still he was able to ask: "Do you need help with your purse?" he offers in a true gentleman fashion, but you swiftly declined his offer. "I'm alright, thank you." you smile, reaching for the door-handle — but he interrupts you, opening it first.
You were able to take a quick view of his covered hands. His suit was made of cashmere, which left you in awe of his neatness. He was cool — so fucking cool that you wanted to be like him when you grow up. "Thank you," you mumble again while slithering through the thin glass doors. "Always welcome," he replies in that velvety voice that left your body trembling for more.
He stares at his watch again, and you notice that it was one of his little quirks. "It's a little early for class, do you want to go to the office? I could give you the year calendar." he offered and you decided to agree to him. There wasn't anything to lose — and you were quite curious as to what his office looked like. If his outside looks reflected his inner personality, then his office would be clean and it would smell like coffee.
"Yeah sure," you smile while he begins to walk in the East Wing. You follow shortly after, acting like his little shadow. Your eyes browse the interior of the East Wing — you've never been here before, the building was dedicated to the kindergarteners and elementary students. You were shocked to see his office at this far corner of the building. There were flower murals everywhere, smiley faces and drawings of little kids plastered outside of their classrooms.
"Apologies for all the drawings on of my door." he chuckles while opening the hard-wooden door. You were right — his room did smell like coffee, black coffee to be exact. He was holding the drink that you made him in his left hand, taking occasional proud sips. "No, they're kinda cute." you mused as he closed the door from behind you. It was a picture of a dragon, and the stains at its sides told you that the picture was old.
"That was actually done by one of Rhaenyra's boys." he pointed at. the dragon, and you couldn't help but feel a memory coming up. "You love them very much, don't you?" you ask, eyes lingering a little longer on the painting. He didn't tell you what the dragon's name was, but you knew that it was Caraxes. "Of course, but don't tell them that." he laughs while opening his drawer, searching through thick files hidden out of sight.
You take a small breath, maybe it was the time to talk about the dreams. "The dragons, are they important?" you managed to question and he hums softly. "To us?" he asks rhetorically. "Well, they are — our family used to be dragon-riders, we came from Old Valyria. We knew each other very well, but you were different from us — more powerful, I think." he mumbles as he continued browsing through the rows of papers on his desk.
Your eyes didn't take a second off the painting. His voice echoed through your mind 'our family'. What did he mean by that?
"What do you mean by that?" you inquire while turning in his direction. He was fair in the face, cheeks filled with youth but his eyes were another story — they had thousands of years behind them. "You should find it out yourself." he replies bluntly, not knowing if he could spend another moment around you without flinging himself around your arms. You nod your head, realizing that it could've been a harsh topic for him.
"What was I like?" you ask while welcoming yourself to one of his leather sofas. A faint smile ghosts his face. "You were like water, happiness was brimming — overfilling you." he explains, eyes twinkling at the thought of you.
You weren't an expert in non-verbal communication, but you knew that it was love in his eyes. He was in love — and your heart wanted you to feel the same, but it was wrong. "And what were you like?" you question with a raised eyebrow, almost waiting for his subtle reaction. "A boat." he replied with a small chuckle.
Fuck. Your mind couldn't help but flash back to that kiss on top of the boat. He was real smug for bringing that up. "I was always floating over your happiness. Whatever you felt, I felt it. I flowed with your waves, like a real friend." he ponders, taking out a colored piece of paper. "A real friend," you repeated, and he handed you the small piece of paper.
"Here's the calendar. If you ever want to add an event, just tell me." he pauses briefly and that same smile returns to his face.
"I'll always be here for you."
———
Time was nothing compared to what you were feeling today. A sick feeling was creeping up your stomach, it was akin to butterflies but you knew that feeling this way about your boyfriend's uncle wasn't right. It was wrong. Very wrong. It was lunchtime, and you were eating your food inside of the classroom.
It was something that Aemond packed for you the night before. Three pieces of large onigiris, and some random vegetables. The brothers Aegon and Viserys were classmates despite their age-gap being a 2-years and a half. Much to your dismay, they were both arguing and making a lot of noise.
"Don't worry about duties, Eggy — you're not going to be student body president this year." Viserys retorted smugly while taking a bite out of his sandwich. It didn't take a stranger to realize that they were both siblings, they had the same icy-blonde hair and purple eyes, there was also an aura of cockiness that you believed they learned from their older uncle.
"You say this every year, but you always lose." he teases while taking a bite of his own sandwich. Their lunches were identical. Everything about them was identical, even their ambition to become student leaders. "It's different this year, because we're in the same grade now." Viserys retorted and they continued bickering in front of you.
You sigh, browsing through the text book and continuing to eat your lunch. It was nothing but sibling rivalry, and it was break-time which meant that they had enough time to tease each other. "We're in the same grade because you cheated on your test." Aegon accused earning an eye-roll from his younger brother.
"At least I passed the fucking test." the boy chomped down on his sandwich, Aegon's eyes were quick to pulse in your direction — asking you if you heard his brother curse. "Miss, did you hear that?" he stood up, walking to your desk. You stare at them.
Yes, you heard it.
"Viserys, language." you scold, and Aegon returns to his seat with a smug grin. Aegon II and Aegon III had a lot of similarities, one of it being their ability to get on their siblings nerves without effort. Your heart pumped furiously, an empty hole was residing inside of it — you knew deep inside that there was something missing from you. A sibling? A lover? Who knows?

Tumblr media
You couldn't make sense of it, you didn't understand why he was smiling like that. The pictures appeared to have been taken in the morning, so why hadn't he called you and told you about Samantha? After thinking about it for a few minutes, you decided to talk to him and see if he'd tell you about what had happened.
When you called Daemon, he picked up right away, sounding exhausted but well "Hey babe"
You composed yourself as you heard his voice. He didn't sound stressed or terrified, normally he seemed a bit vulnerable whenever he'd come across her.
"Hi…what are you doing I just got back from work" you rubbed your forehead with your fingers, you didn't want to accuse him of anything, pictures can be deceiving you understood that well but why wasn't he telling you about her? Why was he hiding this?
"I was out with Viserys for an event darling, I'm back at the hotel now, going out for dinner with the team" he said
"Ohhh okay ummm..how was your day?" he chuckled as you asked him a generic question.
"Alright love, how was yours?" He raised his brows as he asked,
"Goodd..well.. actually ..ummm when were you going to tell me about Samantha? That you bumped into her this morning?" You finally asked him, unable to hold your anxiety for any longer and there was a complete silence on his side for a moment before he finally spoke, you could tell just by the tone of his voice that he was upset.
"How..how do you know that?" He asked, you could also picture the typical scowl on his face.
"Why does it matter?" Shouldn't have said that.
"It matters to me..are you spying on me or something?" Your mouth opened in shock as he said that.
"Daemon –"
"Don't try and patronize me now.. I do not appreciate you keeping an eye on my every move.. I have had enough of that alright?"
Your eyes welled up as his pitch got higher.
"I am not keeping an eye on you ..I just asked you a question..I'm not lying am i?" you tried to defend yourself but you could sense he was already deep in his head now to reason with you. A conversation like this wasn't meant for a phone call, especially not with him.
"A question regarding something you shouldn't have known unless you were spying on me like that bitch used to..who told you huh? Did you talk to my brother?" He said all that in one breath, making you scoff in response.
"Daemon you're being unreasonable" he snickered at your response. This was going as bad as you had assumed but it was about to get worse.
"Yeah I'm being unreasonable..it's always me isn't it?"
The tears started to stream down your face as you hung up the phone once he had raised his voice. You knew that even if you called him back and tried to talk, the conversation would devolve into another argument, one of you needed to stay calm for this but you didn't have the energy for that right now. Instead, you turned off your phone, hoping to give yourself some time to process what had happened and to calm down before reaching out again.
As your phone turned off, Daemon threw his own in anger, shattering it against the wall. He cursed under his breath, feeling a storm of emotions coursing through him. Why did he have such a short temper? Why did he immediately jump to conclusions like that? You didn't deserve to be treated like that, especially not by him but then you jumped to conclusions as well.
As he joined Viserys and the rest of his team, he glared at him as well, his anger spilling over. His frustration was palpable,
"I need a new phone" he said to his older brother and received an exasperated sigh in response. Viserys called Daemon's assistant and asked him to buy a new phone for him asap.
"Why did you tell y/n that I met Samantha this morning?" Daemon crossed his arms as if he was stating a fact instead of an accusation.
"What are you talking about? The last time I saw her and had a conversation was when she was with you"
Daemon gulped at the response, if Viserys didn't tell you about the incident then who did?
"Besides you should have told her yourself" Viserys said to him, making Daemon realise that he had fucked up again, as soon as he got back to his room late at night, he took out the sim card from his broken phone and inserted it in the new one.
His legs were shaking constantly so he took out a cigarette and lit it up as he waited for you to pick up the call, he didn't want you to miss the flight two days later just because you were upset with him. He really wanted to see you and have you by his side.
"Heyy" you mumbled as you picked up the call and his words died in his throat, for a moment he didn't know what to say or how to fix this.
"Ummm how did you know darling? I just want to know..I'm sorry i snapped at you..you didn't deserve that but I just…I don't want to be trailed" his fingers brushed through his hair in frustration.
"You really think I'd do that to you? Do you really think so low of me Daemon?" He was speechless for a moment, he had allowed his past to ruin it again and he had hurt you with his words. All over again.
"No you won't, I'm sorry I made that assumption" you breathed in heavily as he said that.
"So are you going to tell me what happened this morning because I'm making a few assumptions myself, I don't want to think of you like that" you asked him in a straightforward manner and then he was silent again. His anger turned on and off like a switch.
"What do you mean?"
You put the phone down as he said that, clicked the pictures of the pictures you had received and sent it to him and you only sent the ones where he was smiling at her, another mistake, because it clearly came across as accusatory.
"I received them in the mail this evening..that's how I knew..maybe she sent them to me..infact I'm sure she did it..I'm not the one trailing you here daemon " his eyes teared up as you said that, he should have told you especially when he knew what Samantha was capable of doing, of course it was a trap, she never did anything that wasn't meant for hurting him. He should have known better, he was going to apologize but then you said something that made him snap again.
"Do you still have feelings for her Daemon..maybe there's a part of you that-" he cut you before you could finish your sentence. Both of you were just not in sync in this situation.
"Shut up y/n..how dare you say that to me now after everything i have told you about her?"
"I'm just confused and you are not helping "
"You know what I don't want to talk about this right now" he stood up, the urge to throw this phone was strong but he controlled himself.
"You don't want to talk about this?"
"I don't..I'm not going to justify anything, if you believe that I'm still obsessed with the woman that destroyed me than be it"
"Daemon.."
"Noo y/n ..just no..I shouldn't have called" he hung up after that. Didn't even listen to you, maybe you should have allowed him to speak before telling him that you thought he was still obsessed with his ex.
"Gods"
After minutes passed, you felt a heavy weight settle in your chest. You realized just how much your words must have hurt him. You had asked him if he was still besotted with his abuser, a question that must have felt like a slap in the face. But you had been so wrapped up in your own feelings that you hadn't stopped to consider his.
You suddenly felt terrible for asking him such a thing. Daemon had bared his soul to you countless times, and you had always been there to support him. He had trusted you with the most vulnerable parts of himself, and you had thrown it back in his face now. You couldn't help but think that you had betrayed the sanctity of that trust. You were supposed to be his angel.
You waited for his call but he didn't call again, you waited a whole day before you decided to call him yourself, you hated how anxious you felt about this, you didn't want a stupid misunderstanding to ruin your relationship with him but you had no idea what you were supposed to do if he wasn't even going to talk to you .
He did pick up your call but he was very standoffish, he told you that he was out and very busy, he asked you if you were okay and safe before he finally hung up.
For the next two days you both just texted ..you had to take the flight he had booked for the next day but you weren't even sure if he still wanted you there or not so the night before you called him again,
"Heyyy" you mumbled softly as he didn't say anything once he had picked up.
"Did you pack?" He asked you and your eyes teared up,
"Do you still want me to come?"
"Ofcourse I do, do you not to come?" His heartbeat sped as you questioned him.
"I do…I just.." your voice choked on your tears, you couldn't get the words out because you felt overwhelmed.
"Just come tomorrow, we will talk okay?" he said in a soft calm voice so you hummed in response.
He didn't say much after that and you spent the night twisting and turning on your bed only to take an early flight to Vegas.
What if he takes a step back again? What if he doesn't want to be with you anymore?
With all the troubling thoughts you reached his hotel and made your way to his room. As you knocked, he opened the door and stepped aside for you, wearing nothing but a robe. You were just looking around and didn't even have time to react before he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug. You felt yourself being pulled closer as he began to lay soft kisses on the side of your neck. You hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to react. You wanted to reciprocate the gesture, but you were still reeling from your earlier exchange.
He finally put his head up to look at you, your eyes were moist and so were his so he cupped your cheeks and rubbed his thumb over your skin in a gentle manner.
"I was on my run when I met her, I wanted to turn around and leave but I felt as if I wasn't able to move at all. You were right, she does affect me still..but not in the ways you fear–" Daemon spoke slowly, as if trying to pick his words carefully. You could sense the conflict within him, the struggle to tell you what happened without causing you further pain.
"I didn't mean that Dae ..I'm -"
"Shhhh let me speak" he pressed his thumb on your lips before you could apologize.
"Everytime I see her I see everything she has done to me. She then walked closer to me and embraced me tightly. I didn't stop her either and then she cried, she cried so much, she wailed as she told me that she missed me..that her life felt pointless without me. As she said that, I thought of my time with her, and I remembered that I used to feel the same way when I was with her, my life felt meaningless with her. When she pulled away I looked at her, finally i really looked at her and for once I felt above her. I saw how shallow and vacuous she was, without any depth or soul of her own and then i remembered how happy I was in that moment because I thought of you, us, our life together.. and that thought made me smile..that's all it was darling, you were the reason why I smiled. You made me smile even when you were not there with me"
As he finished speaking you couldn't hold back your emotions any longer. Tears dripped down your cheeks but his thumbs wiped them away, he leaned down to kiss you lovingly before he pulled away.
"You have been ignoring me for two days" The words were small and weak, barely above a whisper. Your voice cracked as you spoke to him.
"I have been trying to avoid the confrontation, to protect you from my anger, i didn't want to talk to you about all of this on the phone" he said to you but he knew his actions or lack of emotions had once again hurt you deeply.
"That hurt me..that feeling that you won't talk to me when you're upset.. that hurt me alot dae.. I have.. i have insecurities too..I get hurt too"
Tears rolled down his cheeks and he immediately got down on his knees to wrap his arms around your waist.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry.. I don't deserve you darling..I never did but please forgive me..one more time please?"
This is exactly how he used to beg her for forgiveness, the difference was that he pleaded with her so she wouldn't cause him any further pain. With you however, he was pleading not because he wanted to avoid punishment but because he didn't want to hurt you more.
You got down to his level and your arms wrapped around his neck as you hugged him tightly, you were still upset with him but you really needed to hold him, not just to comfort him but to be comforted by him as well.
"Don't ever do this to me again..if you're upset then fight with me ..but you can't ignore me like that ..you just can't," broken whispers filled his ear so he pulled away and placed his forehead down on yours.
"I don't enjoy raising my voice at you or saying words that prick at the edges of your heart"
"I know you don't..I don't either..but i have realized that I'd rather fight with you and make up then have you pretend as if I don't mean anything to you and that you can go for days without hearing my voice" you cried again and he couldn't stop his tears either.
"I can't ..I can't go days without hearing from you..i was only trying to protect you but I see now how foolish that was" he said softly as he kissed your forehead.
"I'm not a little girl Daemon, I can take your anger but I can't take your silence"
"Okay okay I'm sorry I will never do that again i promise..i promise" he whispered in your ear as he immediately picked you up and laid you down on the bed, his mouth latched to yours in utmost desperation..he wasn't perfect and he didn't think he'd ever be perfect enough for you but he has been trying and knowing that you were willing to stay by his side even after he had fucked up plenty of times was enough to make him want to change for better.
You deserved the man he used to be before she destroyed him, you didn't deserve the broken shell she had left behind.
"I don't see you as a little girl in dire need of my protection but I'm going to protect you anyway love..I'd never do anything to betray you" he said as he placed soft kisses all over your face.
"I didn't mean to accuse you of anything baby"
"I know…shhh I know it's okay..pretty angel it's okay" he cooed in your ears "Missed you love, I don't want you to leave" you tilted your head as you caressed his scalp with your fingers.
"I have to though..I'm sorry..i have missed you too baby"
"Mmmm Nooo stay..after the fight tomorrow..don't leave, stay with me..we will leave together after the finals"
"Daemon–"
"I'll find a job for you..If you want to work at the diner then I'll convince your boss ..heck I'll buy that fucking diner for you..I'll do whatever it takes..just stay with me please" he whispered between the small kisses so you cupped his cheeks and kissed him as lovingly as you could. His words brought a smile to your face.
"Okay..you don't have to buy the diner.. I'll stay" the smile on his face widened as you said that. There's nothing more he wanted in that moment than to have you stay with him.
"Besides i have to make it up to you"
"You do..I told you I'd make you grovel" you said sheepishly.
"Mmm make me grovel sweet girl I deserve that"
You smiled as he said that and cupped his cheeks to kiss him. You finally felt at peace, your heart no longer pounding in anxiousness and worry of the future of your relationship with him.
He had to attend a meet and greet event for the UFC so he left you by yourself in the hotel. You were in the balcony just enjoying the view when you noticed a woman down there near the pool who seemed oddly familiar to you.
You huffed and immediately went downstairs to confront her, she had sent that envelope to cause problems between you and Daemon and well you hated to admit it to yourself that it had worked in a way.
"You know i have never seen someone so shameless as you, it's like you have no integrity" you crossed your arms as you faced her, she had a binocular in her hands and you really wanted to grab it and bash her head with it.
"Did you get the pictures sweetie?" She asked you, a nasty smile curved her lips..
"Yeah and whatever you were trying to achieve didn't work ..you know he has moved on right? After what you had done to him you should have been rotting in a jail or worse be dead" the smile on her face faded as you said that. You despised her and you weren't afraid to tell her that.
"I had him first and he will always belong to me, I'd never leave him and if he can't be mine then I promise you ..I'll ruin him forever" she smiled again once she finished his words before she walked past you to leave, Daemon was right, it was as if she had no soul. Her empty threats didn't bother you though.
You just had to find a way to get rid of her once and for all.
As you made your way back to the room he was already there,
"Where were you sweetheart?" He asked as he approached you, you looked around the room and it was filled with several bouquets consisting of your favorite flowers.
"A stroll, you left me alone here" you didn't want to talk about Samantha especially after that emotionally heavy conversation you both had today because of her.
"That's rude of me to leave such a pretty lady all alone and cold in the bed isn't it??" He picked you up and you squealed as he threw you down on the bed.
"You can't… fight tomorrow " you reminded him so he groaned and squeezed his eyes.
"Is this how you're going to make me grovel?"
"Maybeee"
"Evil"
He kissed you sweetly before he laid next to you,
"Thanks for the flowers, I love them" he smiled as you said that.
"I have something else too"
"Let me guess..Another piece of jewelry?" He frowned in a playful manner at the comment.
"Am I so predictable in my gestures?"
"Yeah but I like that"
"Well I might just surprise you then…close your eyes"
"Fineee" you chuckled as you closed your eyes, he grabbed your arm and made you sit up, you heard his footsteps reaching for the closet and then he was back,
"Okay..open" you opened your eyes as he placed a sizable box on your lap. Looking at him sheepishly you unwrapped the gift. You gasped as you saw that it was a set of chef knives but they weren't some run of the mill knives you used in your kitchen, the handles were made from Ziricote woods and they were very expensive, again something you never would have bought for yourself.
"Daemon…" you smiled as you pulled one of them out and admired the handiwork and finishing.
"You like it?"
"It's beautiful" you felt awestruck in a way, you loved your job and to know that he wanted to give you something you'd use and cherish had warmed his heart. It was one of the most thoughtful presents you could have ever received.
"She is," he mumbled, his eyes never leaving your features as he adored how happy you looked by a set of knives. He wanted to spoil you with diamonds but they never brought such a smile on your face.
"Thank you really" you kissed him as tenderly as could. You knew he didn't like knives, you had noticed his discomfort whenever he was in the kitchen with you, they reminded him of times when she used to harm him with it all night long so him gifting this to you because you loved a good sharp knife was a big deal for you.
And Maybe you could use the knife to stab Samantha as well, win for all.
At night he took you out for dinner and you met Viserys, when Daemon was distracted he told you that there was something he wanted to discuss with you but you weren't supposed to involve Daemon in the matter, you had no idea how to feel about that, you didn't want to keep secrets from him but you had a feeling that whatever Viserys wanted to tell you was important and had to do something with Daemon. And Viserys would never say or do anything that would hurt his little brother.
Daemon was loved by one man the most and that was his older brother, Viserys had practically raised him like a father because their father had passed away when he was just seven.
"I know I'm not supposed to fuck you..but can you tease me a little? Get me all riled up?" He mumbled between the heated kisses so you sat him down on the couch.
"Mmmhm you know i enjoy teasing you baby..why do you want it though?" you asked as you unbuttoned his shirt and rolled it down his shoulders, fingers caressed the raised scars on his skin gently.
"Just so I'm burning for you all night and when I finally take you tomorrow after the fight ..the release would feel sublime"
Your hand trailed down from his chest to his abs and you finally cupped his bulge before you caressed him slowly over the fabric.
"Like that?"
"Mmmmm.. Yeahhh..torture me babe i deserve that" he mumbled softly, his voice was meak and low, you kept your eyes on his features as you didn't want to trigger him with a bad memory
"I don't want to torture you baby..you're my baby" you whispered before you kissed the soft supple bottom of his earlobe and a smile graced his lips.
"I know..It's okay..i desire it..you don't hurt me, you could never" his arms wrapped around your waist and breathing got heavier, placing his head down on the couch he took broken breaths in as your hand continued to stroke him slowly, the pleasure beginning to build in his core.
"That's good? You okay sweetheart?" You asked him softly and he moaned, his tongue slipped out to lick his own lips that were beginning to dry because he couldn't keep his mouth closed, your free arm wrapped around his neck and you pulled him closer to kiss him, lips to lips and then tongue to tongue.
"You are loved and cherished, you know that right?" You murmured against his mouth and he groaned before he placed his head down on your chest ..
"I'm cherished..by you?" He asked as if he couldn't even comprehend how adored he was.
"By me, by your brother, your mum and dad, all of those people who turn up for your fights and those who waited for you to return, everyone is so proud of you, so in love with you and most of all..mee..I love you"
"Mmmm darling " he spoke between his bated breaths, your fingers caressing through his neck heightened the sensation for him "Stopp please ..I will cum" you immediately stopped as soon as he said those words, you cupped his cheeks and caressed his face. Once he had calmed a little he pulled away to look at you. His eyes were teary,
"Promise me you won't give up on us, I know I'm not the guy you deserve–" you cut him off as he said that.
"Stop saying that please "
"It's the truth, you deserve to be loved better than this my love and I want to be better"
"Okay shhhh now..you are enough just the way you are, i have never been loved this way Dae"
It was hard to sleep that night for both of you, but especially him. He resisted the urge to hump against you like a horndog, you resisted the urge to ride him into oblivion.
The sexual frustration was evident the next day as he stepped inside the octagon, he took that frustration out on his opponent and bested him mercilessly.
After the fight while he was getting medical help Viserys approached you and then he told you something about Samantha that even Daemon didn't know, he had no knowledge of that night, he wasn't in his senses when it happened and now she was using it to blackmail Viserys.
Samantha wanted Daemon back in her clutches and she'd do anything to bring him back in her life, she was willing to ruin his career all over again. Turns out her threats weren't empty but you knew to protect Daemon and his dreams you'd have to step up instead of cowering down and giving her what she wanted. You'd never allow the love of your life to fall into her trap again, you couldn't imagine him being hurt again, especially now when he was learning to move on and heal from her abuse.
You were going to protect him and for that you were willing to do whatever it takes.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

"SAY IT." - ... Daemon Targaryen
Tumblr media
I mean, Vaemond had it coming. There has never been a greater fool born than the one who'd scream at DAEMON TARGARYEN's wife, call her children bastards and call her a whore in front of the whole court with DAEMON standing right there!!!
^ not sure what Vaemond was thinking, i mean, did he really think he was getting out of that hall alive after that? ...duuuude...
So here's where it all started getting heated, Daemon's watching the scene, Rhaenyra's turning her head slightly towards Daemon subconsciously, without really looking at him, just him being there is reassuring for her:
Tumblr media
And just as Vaemond starts with his BS for real, we see Daemon giving Rhaenyra this knowing look >>>
Tumblr media
^ to me it looks like Daemon being partly amused that the fool would dare, and also reassuring Rhaenyra with this look like 'i've got this babe, don't you worry'
And right after, Daemon redirects his attention to Vaemond in an ominous way, 'EVIL' written all over his face :D i'd shit my pants, Vaemond, how did you not get it?!
Tumblr media
And that's when Daemon graciously gives Vaemond ONE.LAST.CHANCE.
- "SAY IT"- Daemon says, basically hissing...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
for a moment it looks like Vaemond indeed is shitting his pants, his lip trembling (out of anger?) .... but then he ultimately signs his death warrant, oh the fool... does he think Daemon is kiddin' ??? he knew Daemon had murdered in cold blood without blinking an eye FOR MUCH LESS, not to mention, getting rid of his 1st wife to be able to marry the Rhaenyra this fool is just offending, i mean, what the hell, Vaemond ???
Suicidal Vaemond then turns to Daemon fully and SHOUTS at pregnant Rhaenyra's husband that "her children are baaaastaaaards"
Tumblr media
i can't help but laugh at Otto's reaction the moment Vaemond stops just seconds before (probably) attempting to call Rhaenyra a whore for the first time but hesitating for a second,
This is Otto's face when he sees Vaemond's attempt and Daemon's face :D :D :D
Tumblr media
there's horror and alert written all over Otto's face :D he knows that you do not mess with HUSBAND and DADDY DAEMON, calling his wife names, Otto's face is literally like "oh no oh no oh no Vaemond don't you dare, i still have use of you you old fool, stop it , stop right there, you don't wanna piss Daemon off, you don't wanna mess with his wife"
Tumblr media
also, i loved the shot of protective Jace here :") my sweet,
Tumblr media
and then it's as if Vaemond started believing in himself a little too much, cuz obviously he did not get Daemon's subtle message, and decided to go like "and SHE IS A WHOOORE" in front of pregnant Rhaenyra's husband and right to her father king's face, wtf Vaemond, you really are dumb >>>
Tumblr media
^^ and long story short, THOSE were the last words this foolish man had ever spoken :D head(s) started rolling... (one. for now.)
Tumblr media
I would also love to highlight Otto's reaction JUST BEFORE this moment and just AFTER Vaemond called Rhaenyra a whore :D :D OTTO totally KNEW that was IT. The way he took a deep breath and turned around and away from Vaemond like, oh why oh why, Vaemond.... oh yeah, this alliance was good while it lasted...
Tumblr media
also, the next pic Otto already low-key mourning Vaemond :D he knew that was IT for Vaemond :D
Tumblr media
And so when the head rolled, we got a really interesting pic of the Greens' reactions :D you gotta love their reactions, it speaks volumes about their characters
Tumblr media
Alicent worrying about her children,
Otto grumpy about the turn of events, couldn't hate Daemon more, but not surprised at all, kinda pissed at Vaemond too, for his stupidity, salty about having to scheme more, and harder...
Helaena poor bb shocked to death,
Aegon just disgusted and like 'yeah well...another day.'
and Aemond standing there in true awe, as if in that moment he decided to become Daemon when he grew up (just joking but anyway, i do think Aemond admired Daemon, and had things turned out differently between these two branches of families, i think Aemond and Daemon could have become good buddies and have a nice teacher-apprentice, uncle-nephew relationship, fly dragons to wars together, have each other's backs... Oh well... forever wishing we got a big strong united Targ family :"( ...)
Anyway... Daemon totally not sorry, staring down at dead Vaemond with contempt, casually leaning on his Dark sister like nothing's happened
Tumblr media
and he's proud of himself, too ...for the justice. "He can keep his tongue" Daemon's sass at its finest. Murdering for his family is the best kind of murdering. The satisfaction. No one's gonna call his wife a whore in his presence without losing a head
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Otto was kinda horrified after that, (fearing more heads were gonna roll while Daemon's at it?? Otto knew Daemon hated him with passion, and he knew Daemon knew how much of a scheming manipulative Rhaenyra and Viserys hating ass Otto was - perhaps he thought Daemon was gonna deal with all their haters at that point? so he just needed Daemon disarmed ASAP:
Tumblr media
Daemon couldn't've been calmer at that point :D calmly saying "no need" as he wiped the blood off his sword, using his own garments for that, wild
Tumblr media
BUT the look Daemon gave Otto after that!!! he knew Otto was shitting his pants. And Daemon was low-key making a point, JUST YOU DARE SAY A WORD AGAINST MY WIFE OR KIDS, heads gonna roll, Otto . For real.
Tumblr media
And... I'm just gonna say it was about time idiots started answering for treason, for constantly speaking against and disrespecting the future Queen and her children. Now Daemon was there, the defender of the Realm, his Queen and wife's protector, their children's daddy, and from now on NO ONE was gonna say shit about his wife without getting his head chopped off anymore. Daemon looked like he hoped he made himself clear and was pretty happy with himself.
Calm, sassy and contented Daemon. In his element. And with his loving family, NOW more powerful than EVER before.
This man just needed his Rhaenyra by his side and to create a happy family nest together with her :D make house Targaryen great again :")

Bastardphobia in GRRM's world.
As you pointed out we see several examples of highborn bastards being treated well and portrayed favourably but it came to my attention that the citation for bastards who are usurpers, is the Blackfyre rebellions that have happened in Westeros.
Before I go into this I'll get the obvious out of the way :
The Dance of the Dragons was inevitable, whether or not Rhaenyra had bastards, Viserys fucked things up for everyone.
Now, the Blackfyre rebellions happened because Aegon the Unworthy legitimized Daemon Blackfyre, who was seen as more Targaryen than Daeron The Good. I won't pretend to be super well-versed about this but Daemon also had all the symbols of legitimacy, which begged the question of who had a right to the throne. This also sparked the Ninepenny Kings rebellion.
This ultimately happened because someone messed around with laws and gave zero fucks about the consequences (this looks familiar)
If these rebellions hadn't happened, this might just be a thing at the very back of people's minds.
Now while there was an anti bastard, this was about people being worried about inherentance,as you stated but as you've pointed out we see bastards who are just minding their own business and doing well for themselves in a world that's generally fucked up.
There's also a class element to this cause where do they fit in, they're outliers.
Let's discuss everyone's favourite bastards Jon Snow. Catelyn who knows her history and has given birth to sons that favour her looks wise, fears what may happen should Jon wants more and the Northern Lords want someone who looks like a Stark.
All in all Fuck the Targeryns.
chaoticcoffeequeen asked: **this is because of the myth that Targaryen's are better than everyone else, they have the doctrine of exceptionalism that allows their inbreeding, this has given them a superiority complex and the idea that rules don't apply to them. (I know why the inbreeding took place but it doesn't change the effects this would have on them) PS: this is why Nettles is so cool cause shes this seemgly non-Valyrian girl who was somehow able to tame a dragon. (Valyrians used blood magic but how did she do it)
Hello & welcome back, coffee queen. Hope you reveled greatly these fine winter holidays. ✨🥂💘
Yeah, I basically think GRRM is using the usurper bastard trope as a means to introduce the premise for dramatic civil wars, but royal bastards are also more high-stakes than the bastards of some random small-time lord. In any case, as long as (like you said), no one messes around with the established laws, the line of succession doesn't get as muddy and the causes for violent conflict remain few. There were bastards on Dragonstone for generations (where the dragonseeds came from) and nothing happened until Viserys I decided to cover his eyes and ears and live in delulu land.
Unfortunately, we're going to have to disagree about Nettles. Obviously I have no way of reading GRRM's mind about this, but I do think it makes more sense thematically for Nettles to have some dragon blood in her from her ancestors. I don't think regular people should be able to ride dragons, as cool as it would be, because it seems to me that within this universe, that kind of ability is only accessible to someone if they've made some sort of pact with the devil. Regular people couldn't have transgressive powers that go against nature because they haven't (yet) transgressed (later part of this post).

I like Aemond but damn he was so inept like it's soo funny . He ends smooshing his brother with his Godzilla dragon, maiming his King and one of their few dragons. If he had killed Aegon or sunfyre , he would had cost the Greens the war.
Manages to LOSE THE FUCKING CAPITAL and if not for Larys smuggling out Aegon would had cost the Greens the war again.
Decides to genocide a entire noble House which was TEAM GREEN because they were related to the Velaryon boys, possibly getting Aegon poisoned down the line(Larys wanting revenge for the doom of his House is what makes sense about him killing Aegon)
Spending his time committing war crimes that will come back to bite his brother and his mother´s asses after Rhaenyra´s death.
Let Daeron and Criston die because.......reasons? Yeah but don't forget he study the blade and the philosophy lmaaooo he is so unserious
Nonnie, I honestly never thought of this way...Aemond messes up so badly during the war. But it's more the character or the contrived plot since GRRM wanted Daemon to die in the battle of gods eye? But you're right, he messed up way too much, can't take him seriously.
aemonds whitewashing makes me want to rip my hair out cause of them planning to erase daeron and probably give his arc to aemond and the absolute destruction of argon’s character… don’t get me started
Oh trust me, I've ranted about this way too much as well.
i hope aegon doesnt build aemond thst statue after how he treated him when he wanted to run away lmao
me seeing that happening because Ryan loves Aemond for some reason:
Tumblr media
Of course they had to make Aemond involved somehow 🙄 as if these are not Aegon's children that Aegon will torture Blood and then get revenge for them later. At this point Aemond is Ryan's self-insert it's so ridiculous how he needs to involved him in every plot.
Ryan is literally self-inserting himself into Aemond so don't be surprised if he made the entire story about him
It makes A LOT of sense if that's what he's doing and explains so much of the writing choices. 💀
Don't be surprised if Ryan made b&c about Aemond (there is a reason why he made Aemond's intentional kill an accident) he will made rock's rest about Aemond as well, not mention that Aemond will become prince regent and Ryan will force Aemond in every scene even when there is no need to that, I like Aemond but let's be real other characters deserves to shine not just Aemond
Nonnie, you're making me a doomer ngl:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Greenis who think that Aemond of all people would be a good ruler are delusional. Only Jace and Daeron are capable of becoming good rulers
I mean, can we blame them? They believed what Ryan made Aemond say in ep. 9...the fucking CRINGE
I love how lazy Ryan and co were to the point they couldn't write anything for Aegon ii so they decided to copy the personality of Aegon iv (one of the most boring targaryen ever) and start pretending that they have created a complex and grey character who rapes maiden in the morning and watch wwe kids in the night, extremely unserious. If they wanted to copy the personality of a bad/tyrannical targ at least they should have picked someone interesting like Maegor or Visenya
WWE KIDS PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Tumblr media
But you're so right, Aegon IV is just so boring and copying his personality is so dumb...if the Blackfyre Rebellions ever get adapted how are they're gonna make Aegon IV?! A guy good who's misunderstood? So unserious.
Aemond's line was probably a lazy set up for the plot of Aemond becoming prince regent
We shouldn't be surprised, the writers have the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.
I love Aemond but there is no denying that he is extremely dark and he will get darker in future seasons, why can't his hardcore stans accept that and stop assaulting anyone who dislikes him or admits that he is a dark character? Like where is the fun liking wholesome uwu characters all the time? Aemond is interesting in this way and there is no fun in pretending that he something he is not (that he's some uwu kindhearted soul)
I think it comes from the fact that people don't want to like a dark character, they might think that somehow it reflects badly on them.
It doesn't btw!!!!!
should’ve had the baratheon girl tell aemond that luke cut his balls off instead of his eye which she humbled his ass ngl but that would make aemond seem like a crybaby for a statement like that and we can’t have mr. i should be king doing dumb shit like that
I'd love to see Maris (I think that it was her) being bitchy, I love bitchy characters!!!!!!
I honestly think it would make him look the impulsive character that he is.
aemond is a massive dick in the books idk why they portrayed him in such a positive light if anything that’s daeron and lord knows were never getting him at this point and aegon is an ass but nevertheless a smart one and a strong one with a decent relationship but no anyways i’ll shout it from the rooftops #justiceforphiaandtom
Same, Nonnie. I kinda liked him before the war, he was just the kind of friend that all of us have, and need sometimes, that says what everyone is thinking.
I NEED MY BABY DAERON. 🥲
Sorry to Ryan but Aemond talks,walks, and looks as an anime villain so it's really hard for me to take him seriously especially after his oopsie daisy in ep10 after he chased luke while laughing maniacally
I think it's something like: It doesn't matter if it was an accident it's done kind of thing BUT having him lose control of Vhagar made him look very goofy.
But yeah, he didn't need to laugh like an anime villain.
You are so right, Helaena is barely a character and if the rumors are true she will only be there to be a catalyst for Aemond arc.
Hopefully is not true, but I'm not hopeful at all, Nonnie.
Idc how unpopular this opinion is, but Helaena deserves much more than to be a mere plot device to give some development to Aemond, i don't want her to die early on and for her death to be the beginning of Aemond's man pain arc, it's the fault of the showrunners who whitewashed him too much and tried to merge Daeron's personality with him, if they want him to catch up with his book counterpart there are plenty of ways to do that WITHOUT sacrificing a female character for him. If they did that they have no right to claim they're progressive and feminists
I'll riot if they make Helaena's character about Aemond, THIS ISN'T ABOUT AEMOND!!!!!!!
But Nonnie, they're not feminists nor progressives...we need to realise that, they only say that to avoid criticism and it works.
I love how the mass genocider Aemond who enslaved a woman and most likely raped her is a feminist Marxist and his mommy's little criminal while Rhaenyra and Daenerys are mad queens who deserve to die horribly. We love when misogyny prevail <3
I mean, making excuses for disgusting men and hating teenage girls for being kids is VERY on brand for the ASOIAF fandom.
I love how in the book Aemond was the worst of all of his siblings, now the show is pretending that he is Jaeherys reborn again after they cut Daeron, made Aegon a mustache-twirling villain and never give Helaena any personality whatsoever
Every time I think about the butchering of helaegon and my baby Daeron:
Tumblr media
the merging of characters was the dumbest thing ever like daeron and aemond? who was gonna burn bitterbridge ? aemond?? while he’s making stupid decisions in the riverlands ?? god where is daeron they refuse to announce his casting
WHERE THE FUCK IS DAERON, HBO?! WHERE?!
Tumblr media
Imagine the incompetent showrunners Thinking that the lunatic mass murder who killed small children just because they have strong blood in them and enslaved a woman and possibly raped her as he has taken her as his *war prize* and who is a disgusting misogynistic as well would be a better grey&complex character than Aegon who took the crown only to protect his family and Daeron who was the most popular kindest son of Alicent lmao sheer stupidity
Nonnie, the Daeron is erasure was PERSONAL!!!!! I hate it here and HotD was a mistake.
It's so hilarious that every male character needs to be either get assassinated or get cut (applied to both teams) just to make Aemond shine.... (even Daemon get the worse interpretation of his character lmao) I wonder what this says about the quality of Aemond's character and the Showrunners's confidence in making him a "relatable" character. It's a curios decision especially when you consider what Aemond will do in the future
Makes you wonder how they'll handle his arc moving forward...maybe change it completely, he won't commit any war crimes 💀
The most unserious scene will be that Battle above God’s Eye scene and the leading up to it and knowing the two fan favorites go out at the same time and I know they are waiting until the damn series finale for that and are going to rush Rhaenyra’s death cause they hate Aegon or have Alicent poison Aegon cause she loves Rhaenyra so much or even sacrifice herself for Rhaenyra. They’ll probably have Aemond’s head be cut of cause it’s Daemon like where’s my stupid Aemond who literally was the second worst decision maker in the dance behind daemyra who deserve to be together at the number one spot.
The erasure of Aegon as a character is my villain origin story!!! Can't wait for the most unserious scene in TV history.
Fun fact: the majority (especially non book readers) hate Aemond, so obviously they're not shipping him with anyone and the majority of who want Helaemond to become canon are wanting that out of hatred for Alicent since Helaena's children being bastards will make Alicent super hypocrite. So they don't care about Helaena's "happiness" (yeah she will be happy with the brother who caused the death of her children and her ultimate suffering and death lmao) they only care about Rhaenyra being on the absolute right and Alicent being nothing but a raging misogynistic and a hypocrite so they don't care about any nuance
The amount of Tik Tok comments and creators wanting the kids to be Aemond's just make Alicent look dumb is huge, and as a helaegon is sad to see.
So according to GRRM logic aemond is bastardphobic but takes a bastard to bed and gets her pregnant? Not ONE person says this could be because of magic but out of true love like y’all saw Melisandre in season 2 with how strange she was at Harrenhal? I’d assume she would be more like her because Ryan needs the constant comparisons 💁‍♀️
Since Ryan is trying to be GoT 2.0, it wouldn't surprise me if we get Melisandre 2.0 in HotD.
Cant wait for the battle above Gods Eye to be so unserious while pregnant alys is right there 😭
It's going to be so fucking unserious, I laughed the first time I read a 50 year old man jumping from his dragon and killing his 20 year old nephew. 💀
Never forget Aemond is bastardphobic but sleeps with a bastard GRRM is so unserious 😭
Especially a bastard from the SAME FAMILY of the bastards he hates!!!!!
Of course only Aemond is going to get his Daenerys Targaryen moment in the Riverlands and not Daeron and what happened at Bitterbridge because the writers hate Daeron and instead gave every character trait to Aemond probably making him regret what happened in the Riverlands after he burns it instead of giving that humanizing moment to Aemond. The worst part is he probably would’ve been a fan favorite had the included him in the first season. This is all coming from an show!aemond girlie
It was probably the dumbest thing HotD has ever made, ngl.
Team black here, and I got to say I've seen your and your anons criticism about Ryan's favoritism and to be honest I agree but it's not just about how Aegon is written compared to how Aemond is written, it's also about how all the young characters are written compares to Aemond Jace,luke,baela and rhaena all have been vilified by Ryan for the sake of giving a poor me sob story for Aemond. Rhaena and Baela weren't in the fight in the book, and Jace and luke have been turned into bullies and not only that, Jace canonical talents and skills with the sword, being studious and worthy of being the next ruler (after rhaenyra) the maesters said something similar to Jace proved himself to be worthy of being the prince of the iron throne all of it have been taken away and given to Aemond in show. Jace and luke could care less about Aemond's stupid toast in the book and the fight was between Aegon and Jace because of Helaena. Ryan made them instead get angry because of Aemond's speech not to mention he made Jace who has been described as tall and strong just like Harwin to gets pushed down into the ground by Aemond whose greatest achievement as a fighter is killing some random 80yr man. Luke whose mother is a valeryian supremacist can't even speak valeryian properly while Aemond can lmaoo. Not to mention that Laena used to have a scene while she claims Vhaegar as a brave 12yr girl but Ryan cut that out because he wants Aemond's scene to be more impressive? Rhaena who grown up dragonless doesn't has any backstory and the show doesn't even focus on her pain while Aemond had given a fully made up bullying story? There is no mention of the impressive fact that helaena as 11/12 was able to claim one of the largest/oldest dragons of that time? There is nothing wrong for a writer to like a certain character but not to the point of literally stealing and destroying other characters just to make their fave the only likable character. And I wonder what trying to woobify a mass murder and a rapist whose greatest achievement is about killing innocents and children while destroying and subjecting female characters truly says about Ryan?
I've seen team black talking about the same thing before, making the son of Breakbones this weak and pathetic boy was certainly a choice.
I agree with you, we should've seen Laena and Helaena claiming their HUGE dragons at such a young age. I honestly think that it wouldn't make Aemond's scene less impactful, we would get way more attached to Vhagar and see that Laena was her own woman and worthy of the biggest dragon in the known world.
As I said before, the feminist angle is just to stop criticism of bad writing.
Something all Helaegon and Daemyra stans can agree on is Aemond fans are bloody wild! I post about shipping both them couples and somehow my inbox is filled with hate from Aemond supporters🤣 like bru, nobody is mentioning him
LMAO, Nonnie...I'll get so much hate asks after this...but you're so right lol.
what are the aemond stan’s crying about? he’s fictional ya’ll but seriously what do they complain about
Mainly about how Aemond isn't my favourite, because god forbid Aemond isn't my fave.
