After the clan wars, only a few clans remain: Dracas, Lycana, Nosferas, Pyras, Vyrad and Vamalia. Or so they thought.

Born in the same summer of 92 A.C, Alerya Tyrell of Highgarden and Gwayne Hightower of Oldtown were matched long before either understood the weight of duty. Their betrothal in 110 A.C was a political stitch meant to bind Tyrell neutrality to Hightower ambition, but their wedding in 112 A.C held a gentler truth: two young souls trying to carve a place for themselves in a realm already shifting beneath their feet. The court was still bright with tournaments, feasts, the illusion of peace. But Queen Aemma Arryn's death cracked that illusion, and the realm began its slow descent into faction and fire. Alicent Hightower's marriage to King Viserys brought the Greens into power; Rhaenyra's marriage to Laenor Velaryon strengthened the Blacks. Children were born on both sides, each one a new thread in the tapestry of conflict. Alerya found herself caught between loyalties. She was Gwayne's wife, yes, but she was also a Tyrell, and House Tyrell refused to choose a side. In Oldtown, neutrality was treated like treason. Ormund Hightower made no effort to hide his disdain, his cold glances reminding her daily that she was not truly one of them. Her presence was tolerated only because Gwayne loved her. Only Daeron Targaryen, her nephew by marriage, showed her warmth. He visited her chambers with books and questions, treating her as kin rather than a political inconvenience. His kindness was a small light in a household that had grown increasingly hostile. When the Dance of the Dragons erupted in 129 A.C, Gwayne rode to war beneath the green banners of his nephew, King Aegon II. Alerya watched him leave Oldtown's gates, her heart clenched tight. He kissed her once and promised he would return. She held onto that promise even as the realm burned. HOTD FANFIC! GWAYNE HIGHTOWER X FEM OC! (IM NOT TRYING TO ERASE HIS SEXUALITY!

"A dragon does not ask permission to burn." Maelle Targaryen was born with dragon blood in her veins and war written in her name. Gwayne Hightower was born to protect a house that her family once tried to destroy. They were never meant to meet. They were never meant to love. Yet even the strongest towers fall when faced with fire.

"Why did you say yes when you loathe me"? "Loathe you!? No, I yearn for you!!" Elaena Targaryen was born in 96 AC and is the youngest and only daughter of Prince Baelon Targaryen and Princess Alyssa Targaryen. She is the sister of King Viserys Targaryen and Prince Daemon Targaryen. Being the youngest and almost the same age as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, Elaena was cherished by her brother, King Viserys, who treated her like a daughter after their mother, Alyssa, died shortly after giving birth to her. Ser Gwayne Hightower, son of the King's Hand and brother of Queen Alicent Hightower, is an honourable knight. Dedicated to his responsibilities, he spent his childhood in Oldtown before moving to King's Landing when his father was appointed Hand of the King. Due to political alliances and to spread their power in Oldtown, Otto and Viserys decided to betroth Elaena and Gwayne against their will.

"In the secrecy of night politics held no sway, and gods kept no dominion. There was only the sacred, blasphemous truth of love." OR in which the Seven have always meant something greater for Alyrie Targaryen (even before she was a girl, before Gwayne was knighted and sworn to protect her) house of the dragon. gwayne hightower / targaryen original character.
