when lord lyonel baratheon hosted a tourney at storms end in honor of his only daughters seventeenth nameday, the great houses of westeros assembled at the ancestral seat of house baratheon. even the house of the dragon had made the journey from the crownlands to here - gracing the tourney not only with the presence of the heir, prince baelor, but king daeron himself. an event worthy of the historybooks, just as lord baratheon intended - what had not been on his mind was the fact that his beloved daughter, the storms doe, had caught the eye of a dragon.

Saccharine, if you look closely. Not the sweetness sung in ballads. Not the kind meant for courtly display. Honey hidden in bitter tea. Warmth beneath something meant to be stern. You do not taste it at first. Aerra does. In the hush between their names. In the way his hand lingers at her waist a fraction too long before remembering itself. In the quiet looks that would ruin them if anyone else noticed. He calls it discipline. She feels the sweetness trembling underneath. And in a world built on duty and dragons, softness like that is almost a sin.

"They used to say Targaryens were closer to gods than to men, but they only said that because of our dragons. When the last dragon died, our House's glory died with it. Or so our ancestors, in their weakness, chose to believe. But the last dragon never died. It crawled inside our bloodline and slept. Now it's waking up. It's the itch beneath our skin, the voice in our skulls, our dreams at night, and the hard, scalding truth I feel when I'm inside of you. My dear sister. My mirror. My fucking altar of Fire and Blood. We shall be the rebirth of the House of the Dragon. You and I, Aerea- conflagrated into one being, meant for glory, since the moment of our birth."
