172 years before daenerys targaryen, the lannister's were just as you knew them. each of them through the generations, as cunning as they were gorgeous, as rich as they were power hungry. and she was no exception, merilla lannister was perfect.
raised to be the perfect wife, the doting mother, the polite lady. in public, she never made a mistake, sat up straight, spoke smartly, and most importantly, she knew her place. if you looked closely you'd notice that familiar lannister attitude, you'd see a snuck up, naive, teenager who'd never been told no. despite that, merilla had never once slipped from her perfect image, until him.
the moment they lay eyes on eachother, her heart beat for rhaegar velaryon. they were two bound souls, existing for only one another. rhaegar and merilla were beautiful, not perfect, just gorgeous and even more prohibited.
merilla lannister, the perfect lady, betrothed to aemond targaryen since childhood, was in love with rhaegar velaryon, the perfect heir to the iron throne. there was no escaping their love affair, they would run away as fast as they could but would always find themselves together as one. the lannister and velaryon were perfect foils of one another, kindred spirits with a deep desire that nothing, including her marriage, could shatter.
