She hates him and blames him for her brother's death. Princess Mealyra Velaryon, firstborn daughter of Queen Rhaenyra and Ser Leanor, swears revenge on Aemond Targaryen. He mirrors this hatred, only differently, because he sees her brother in her every time he looks at her.

He is fire; she fears the flames. Naerys Velaryon, firstborn of Rhaenyra Targaryen, bears the blood of the dragon yet carries a curse that sets her apart: a terror of fire. When her mother's claim hung by a thread, she was bound in childhood to her uncle, Aemond Targaryen-a union forged not out of love, but as the price exacted for the loss of his eye. Ten years later, Naerys returns to King's Landing to fulfill her duty. But her betrothed is no longer the boy she once knew. Aemond is vengeance made flesh, as sharp and unforgiving as the blades he wields. In a court ruled by treachery, where oaths shatter as swiftly as they are sworn, they must set aside their grievances... if only to seize what they both covet. The Iron Throne. And in the game they are forced to play, hatred may prove the only thing more perilous than desire.

Riri was sent to therapy to fix the problem everyone whispers about - her obsession with sex, danger, and losing control. She's already counting the ways she'll ruin her new therapist. Dr. Mary Davis is too young to be this good at saying no. Too pretty to ignore. Too close to breaking. Some addictions aren't about pleasure. They're about power. And Riri's about to take hers.

Murder, secrets, obsession, love, fear and hatred

After wanting a better education, your mother ships you off to a boarding school known as St. Dominics Prep. On arrival you made a name for yourself but you quickly fell under the Student Council's influence, falling into their trap and going into debt. Lucky for you, your debt was erased. Of course, this is St. Dominic's Prep we're talking about, so odd things are bound to happen. (The story starts towards the end of the school year, and you were transferred at the beginning of it so you've been at St. Dominic's Prep for quite some time just for clarification)

They said the game was over. But what if the real game is the one that doesn't come with rules? No cards. No bluffs. Just looks that linger too long, silences that cut too deep, and a tension no one dares to name. Will Riri risk to play the most dangerous game? Will Mary dare to fall into an abyss of secrets? A slowburn you won't be able to look away from. This fanfic is inspired by the characters from the Netflix series "Bet".

Mary is curious - a bit too curious for her own liking. She wants to know why the vice president chose her, why she suddenly gained interest after Mary won the House War. But most importantly - Mary wants to know what's under her mask. Here's a little reimagining of the Bet series focused on Meari because I am obsessed with them. (Crossposted from AO3 uwu)

She throws a party every year. Same city, different mask. No names, no rules-just a pulse-pounding hunt for a lover long gone. Riri Timurov is a vampire, ruthless CEO by day, immortal romantic by night. For centuries, she's been chasing a ghost: the soul of the woman she lost in flames. And this year, she finds her. Her name is Mary. She doesn't remember the past. But she can't stop dreaming of it. Of Riri. Of blood. Of a love that always ends in fire.
