𓆩 The Last Song of Valyria 𓆪 "Here the dragon bound the seven crowns, the Doom devoured the sky. Yet the ashes of Old Valyria hold secrets older than the Iron Throne, and a fire that refuses to die..." Chronicles speak only of House Targaryen, naming them the sole remnants of a fallen empire. They spoke in ignorance. For deep within the calcified veins of the smoking ruin, another endured. Consigned to a deathless slumber beside her beasts of flame, a maiden of the Old Empire slept - awaiting the Prince Who Was Promised, and the hour when the Song of Ice and Fire should awaken. Now, as the Great War gathers in the frozen North, her red eyes opened. With a roar that shook the foundations of the earth, she ascended into a world four centuries beyond her own. Her kin are dust, her mother tongue is forgotten, and mortal kings play a treacherous game for a seat of rusted iron. Driven by an ancient, unbroken instinct, she cleaved the sky to face the oncoming storm. Yet the sins of old cast long shadows upon the present. And in the game of thrones, you win, or you die. • ┈─ ⚜ ── 𓆩✧𓆪── ⚜ ─┈ • Jon Snow x Female oc Game of Thrones AU Started - 15/8 - 2026 Finished - Rankings: #1 Original Character -31/8/26 #1 Robb Stark - 29/8/26 #1 Jon Snow - 8/9/26 #1 asongoficeandfire - 10/9/26 #1 asongoficeandfire - 18/9/26 #2 asongoficeandfire - 8/9/26 #3 asongoficeandfire - 30/8/26 #3 Dragons -30/8/26

"Why did you make me fall in love with you when you're about to leave for a mission you may not even come back from?" I exclaim, my throat burning as I fought the urge to cry. "Do you seriously think I wanted to fall in love right before I left? Falling in love and never seeing her again?" Bradley harshly asks, his voice raising. "You knew this entire time and you didn't think to tell me?" --- If you saw the old preview no you didn't 🧍🏼‍♀️

Maelyra Targaryen, a young princess of the House Targaryen and the younger sister of Rhaenyra, was raised beneath the weight of royal blood and the memory of her mother, Aemma Arryn. Reserved, intelligent, and curious, Maelyra possesses a more thoughtful nature than her sister, yet beneath her calm exterior lies a fierce pride and a will that is difficult to bend. A dragonider bonded to Vaeloryx, the ancient dragon with pale blue and white scales, she is a young woman who has never wished to become a pawn in the games of court. Gwayne Hightower, a young knight of the powerful House Hightower and Alicent's brother, is a charming, proud, and ambitious man, raised according to the values of his house. Skilled with the sword, confident and deeply devoted to his family's honor, Gwayne carries the proud nature of the Hightowers, but also possesses a more human and loyal side that emerges with those who manage to earn his trust. To unite two of the most powerful houses in the Seven Kingdoms, Maelyra and Gwayne are betrothed to one another. At first, their union is nothing more than a political arrangement: fire and stone, two families, two worlds, and two young people who never chose each other. But time changes people. And when the Dance of the Dragons turns Westeros into a battlefield, Maelyra will be forced to face the most painful choice of her life: to follow her duty to her family and her queen, or to protect the man who has become her husband and who, against all expectations, she has learned to love. Because during war, loving your enemy may be the greatest betrayal of all. A HOTD fanfiction female oc x Gwayne Hightower

The North is unforgiving. Its winters are merciless. Its people are forged by hardship. And its rulers are expected to carry the weight of an entire kingdom upon their shoulders. Born into the proud House Mormont, Lyanna Mormont has never sought glory. Quiet, observant, and far wiser than most realize, she has learned that the strongest people are often those who speak the least. Every lesson, every sacrifice, and every trial has prepared her for the challenges that await beyond the walls of Bear Island. But the North is changing. While the southern kingdoms edge ever closer to war, ancient loyalties begin to fracture, forcing the great houses to choose where they stand. As ravens bring news of bloodshed and betrayal from the south, the North can no longer remain untouched. Standing at the center of it all is Lord Cregan Stark-the young Wolf of Winterfell. Stern, relentless, and bound by duty above all else, he must protect his people from the growing storm while navigating alliances that could determine the fate of the realm. Together, Lyanna and Cregan must face the burdens of leadership, survive the trials of the North, and prepare for a war that threatens to consume all of Westeros. For while kingdoms fight for the Iron Throne in the south... The North remembers what truly matters.

At eighteen, Cora Shelby is the untouchable darling of the Peaky Blinders. Kept strictly in the shadows of her brothers' violent empire, she is the family's carefully guarded secret. But when the Black Hand descends on the family, the Shelbys are forced to flee their mansions and return to the mud of Small Heath to survive. Tommy's desperation brings in mercenaries: Aberama Gold and his lethal, prizefighter son, Bonnie. Savage, bruised, and devastatingly charming, Bonnie is everything Cora has been sheltered from. To Aberama, Cora is a distraction that will get his son killed. To Tommy, Bonnie is just a hired fist who has no business breathing the same air as his baby sister. But in the claustrophobic, smoke-filled rooms of a family at war, the electric pull between the gypsy fighter and the mafia princess is instantaneous. And catastrophic. Because in a vendetta where one wrong move means a bullet, falling for a Shelby might just be the prettiest poison of them all.

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. All rights belong to George RR Martin and HBO House of The Dragon, except any original characters and canon divergence on this story.

Daisy Fletcher has never had the luxury of falling apart. At twenty-three, she holds her family together with both hands - feeds them, fights for them, loves them fiercely - and every night she puts on a dress and becomes someone else entirely on the stage, because the money is good and the bills don't care about dignity. She doesn't expect Thomas Shelby to walk through the door. She doesn't expect him to come back. And she doesn't expect that the quietest, most dangerous man in Birmingham will turn out to be the only person who ever looked at her and saw both women at once. But Thomas Shelby belongs to a world that takes what it wants and leaves wreckage behind it. Her father knew that. Walter knew that. She should have listened. Birmingham, 1919. Canon-compliant. Slow burn. Eventual Tommy Shelby x OC.

Matilda Preston is the picture of 1919 high-society perfection. As the wife of Inspector Campbell's ruthlessly ambitious right-hand man, she wears expensive dresses, pours tea into porcelain cups, and hides her husband's bruises beneath high-collared lace. But Julian made one fatal mistake: he brought her back to Birmingham. Before the riches, she was Tilly Walsh-a wild, barefoot girl who ran the muddy alleyways of Watery Lane. And John Shelby has never forgotten her. Now, caught in the crossfire of a brutal war between the police and the Peaky Blinders, Tilly is playing a deadly game. By day, she is the perfect copper's wife. By night, she is risking the hangman's noose for stolen moments in the shadows with a razor-wielding gangster who is more than willing to burn the city down to set her free. Julian promised her safety. John promised her ruin. Only one of them was telling the truth.
