In the silent depths of Volterra, where stone remembers every scream, Elira, a half-immortal oracle with clouded eyes lives under lock and ritual. Her visions are cryptic, cursed, and often too true. The Volturi call her The Black Bride, a creature to be feared and used. To bind her powers to the throne, a marriage is arranged: Caius, cold and calculating, ancient as war, is chosen to wed the girl he calls a liability. But when her visions begin to whisper secrets only he remembers of death, betrayal, and a future soaked in ash, Caius finds himself haunted by a bride he never wanted and cannot let go of. She sees his ruin. He swears to rewrite fate. Bound by crown and curse, they become prophecy's undoing, or its final victims. He was promised a queen, he got a vision in human skin.

"At the end of the day, there is nothing so wonderful as to love and be loved. But not all can accept that love has a price." JACAERYS VELARYON X OC

Lady Johanna Lannister was born to Lord Tywin Lannister and Princess Daella Targaryen his first wife. Lady Johanna held no Lannister looks thus, Aerys II the Mad King demanded she marry his second born son the Prince Daemon Targaryen. 10 moons after her marriage she birthed twins, Aegon and Rhaenyra and 15 moons after that she birthed her second son Maegor. Four moons later the realm was torn apart by Robert Baratheon who went to war against the Targaryen family after Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna Stark. When Rhaegar fell, Daemon raced back to Kingslanding where he took his pregnant mother and younger brother to Dragonstone. He had begged Johanna to come with him but she refused saying she would not "Cower in fear" which are the words she became known for. So now she is alone with her three Targaryen children with a stag on the throne. Will they survive?

Twin brothers. Once inseparable, now bitter enemies. How will the Dance of Dragons play out with the Sons of Viserys Targaryen and Aemma Arryn.

Dragon saddle is one things, but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the Realm. Everyone says Targaryens are closer to Gods than to men. But, they say that because of our dragons. Without them, we are just like everyone else.

it never crossed my mind, that I had only ever known the Fisher boys during the winter. all huddled together after spending the day playing in the snow. what they did at cousins beach during those two summers months had never crossed my mind and I never realized how different things could be until I was there too.

Daenora, though a Velaryon in name, was born from seeds so tainted that even the blood of the dragon could not fully cleanse them. Used as a tool to mend together the divided House of the Dragon, Daenora finds herself torn between loyalties, waging a war of fire and blood, while the pile of lies that is her life begins to collapse.

Aemond Targaryen spent most of his life alone, being picked on by his own brothers and nephews constantly for being considered a "twat" or "freak", but not by his niece, Alyssa Arryn. Alyssa was his niece through his younger half sister, Princess Viserra Targaryen, and her husband, Lord Hubert Arryn. They were raised in two different parts of the world, never truly getting close, but she remained in his thoughts. She remained in his heart. One night he gets the courage to claim the almighty Vhagar for himself, but then horrors fill the caves of Driftmark...as well as the walls of the Eyrie. Horrors that would weaken House Targaryen for many, many years. Will the house of the dragon recover after such tragedies hit? Will Aemond be forever forced to only know Alyssa in his thoughts? Will Alyssa be strong enough to endure what the gods intend for her? ****A lot of OC's in this, and as usual High Valyrian dialogue is italicized**** ***This is my darkest story. I understand it might get a little too dark at times, but I will do my best to guide those that wanna skip those parts with my TW's so just remember. You were warned*** ***bring tissues. Y'all know I'm gonna make you cry***

"Can I tell you something?" Conrad asked. I only nodded. "You're the strongest person I know." To this day, I still think he lied to me. I should be the least strongest person he knows. How did he consider me strong when I could list dozens of people who were stronger? "That night, you told me I was the strongest person you knew. Why did you lie to me?" He stopped doing whatever it was that he was doing, but he didn't look at me. He simply sat there, looking at the corn like it was the most interesting thing in the world. "I wasn't lying." He finally said. "Everyone else might not see it, but I do. I see the pain in the way you smile. Smiling takes every thing out of you because your smile doesn't look genuine anymore. Your pain begins to make cracks in the walls you took years to build and it starts to escape." He gave me a sincere look and continued. "Sonny, no one I have every met has ever been strong enough to do that. I could never do that. The sad thing is, you don't fake it because it's easier for you, but it's easier for the people around you. For your dad especially." conrad fisher x fem!oc part one; started: june 17th, 2022 finished: february 3rd, 2024 part two; started: june 11th, 2024 finished:
