Atotsk Stories

❝Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin. Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin and the world holds its breath.❞ - A Targaryen (madness) and a Stark, (greatness) a match made in anything but heaven, said by the very gods above themselves or so the people whisper. -

"My brothers dreamed of dragons too, and the dreams killed them, every one."- Aemon Targaryen This short tale came to me while watching the end of the series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026). It ventures into the past of Prince Aerion of House Targaryen. Inspired by the characters and world created by George R. R. Martin, my story explores the fragile boundary between destiny and madness, love and obsession, devotion and cruelty. It may contain spoilers for events set after the end of season 1 of AKOTSK. It is not intended to be a long work - no more than seven chapters - but rather a short, a very intense descent into the tragedy and splendour of the Targaryens. I hope you will enjoy it :)
