"Her and I came from the same womb and we will share the grave." House of the Dragon

[AU] A misunderstood sentiment behind an "heir for a day" comment gets Daemon sent out of King's Landing. Realizing that his brother would never trust him fully or recognize him as his heir, Daemon decides to quit while he is ahead. He leaves for the Free Cities to start a new life, and as he does so, he takes his favourite golden cloak with him. Fast forward five years. A new power is rising in the Stepstones, taking control of all the trade routes across the Narrow Sea. And Daemon Targaryen comes back to court once again, now the man of his own making with a spouse and children in tow. Main ship: Daemon Targaryen/Gwayne Hightower

Sent to Oldtown as a child alongside her brother Daeron, Princess Alerya Targaryen grows up beneath the towering halls of the Hightower, raised among maesters, knights, and lords of the Reach. Reckless, headstrong, and untamed, she is a wildfire in a world of duty and restraint-especially in the eyes of her uncle, Ser Gwayne Hightower. What begins as an unspoken tension between them deepens into something far more dangerous as she comes of age, their forbidden love unfolding in the shadow of a realm on the brink of war. As the Dance of the Dragons ignites, Alerya finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and the one love she can never claim. In a world where duty is law and desire is treason, how long can they keep their secrets hidden before the flames consume them both? HOTD FANFIC! GWAYNE HIGHTOWER X FEM OC! All characters belong to GRRM, only Alerya's storyline is invented by me! Cover by @queenoffyre

As the Targaryens wage war in Westeros, whispers spread that Old Valyria still lives. At the heart of the rumors is Vaera Vaelaros, a fierce and mysterious woman from one of the only families that survived the Doom by staying behind. When Westeros learns Valyria isn't dead-but watching-Vaera is sent to deliver a warning... or a reckoning. What she brings may change the balance of the Dance of the Dragons forever.

Sent back to the years before the Dance of the Dragons, Rhaenyra carries memories of betrayal, dragonfire, and the slow extinction of her family's greatest power. She knows who will rise against her. She knows how the war ends. But fate is not so easily undone and the gods are expecting a lot. To save her claim and the last dragons of House Targaryen, Rhaenyra must decide. Will she outmanoeuvre destiny... or end up making things worse.

''A dragon is neither male nor female'' Rhaenyra Targaryen died in the jaws of a dragon, watching her legacy turn to ash while the realm she bled for crumbled. But the gods-or the fire-are not finished with her. Waking in the body of her six-year-old self, Rhaenyra is a ghost in a child's skin, possessed of a lifetime of grief and the cold wisdom of a fallen Queen. Armed with the secrets of a future that hasn't happened yet, Rhaenyra sets out to purge the vipers from her court and reclaim the throne before the first drop of blood is ever spilled.

"I shall carve a kingdom from these reefs, but I would forfeit it all for a single hour in the shadow of your wings." In the gilded cage of the Red Keep, you are the King's youngest daughter a Princess of House Targaryen, expected to be a silent jewel in your father's court. While your sister Rhaenyra is the Realm's Delight, you have always been the enigma, a girl of silver hair and quiet grace who hides a furnace of ambition behind a polite smile. But the "Quiet Princess" has a secret that would set the Seven Kingdoms ablaze. While your father, King Viserys, seeks to maintain a fragile peace, and your sister remains blind to the rising shadows in the palace, your heart has already crossed the Narrow Sea. Separated by war and the bitter schemes of the Hand, your only lifeline to the Rogue Prince is a trail of salt-stained parchment and secret ink. Through clandestine letters smuggled past Otto Hightower's spies, you and Daemon Targaryen weave a bond of fire and blood. To the world, he is the exiled prince carving a legacy out of the Stepstones. To you, he is the only soul who truly sees the dragon beneath your skin. As the Velaryon tide rises and the pressure for a new Queen mounts, the letters become more than just words they become a promise. Daemon is a man who would burn the world to watch it glow in your eyes, and you are the daughter who would betray a crown to stay by his side. The King wants peace. The Hand wants power. But the Rogue Prince only wants his anchor.

Long before Aegon's Conquest, it was said that Daenys the dreamer foresaw the doom of Valyria and said to her kin. Her dream saved the blood of Valyria which still runs in the veins of Targaryens and Velaryons. Daenys Targaryen informed of her vision to her husband Vaeryn Kaelthar, who was the first to trust the words of his beloved wife, and convinced the Kaelthars and Targaryens to move out of Valyria. What follows is the story of the Houses of Dragons. The Targaryens and Kaelthars. It is known by all that Targaryens are closer to God than Men but Kaelthars are believed to be the descendants of God with their ability to tame the wild dragons. This is the journey of two mighty Valyrian houses. The Targaryens maybe fire and blood but The Kaelthars are steel and flame. It was said that Aegon married Visenya out of Duty and Rhaenys out of love, but he did marry one more... Valyria, out of a promise... Book 1 of For The Crown Trilogy House Kaelthar and their members and few other OC Targaryens are my own the rest belongs to the respective owners.
