The War of Wings by courtofroses0326
15 parts Ongoing
Aemma Velaryon was born on a cold night in King's Landing as the daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon. Born barely a year after her brother Lucerys, she was very different than her brothers. Not only was Aemma like her mother, quick to anger and rarely forgot a sly remark, but she also appeared as Targaryen as her mother. Aemma was born with fine silver-blonde hair and dark purple eyes. Despite the attempt at discretion, Aemma heard the whispers of her being Rhaenyra's only legitimate child with Laenor Velaryon. But despite her appearance, Aemma was just as much a bastard as her brothers. Aemma never shared her secret, even with her brothers, especially as tensions in King's Landing ramped up. Despite her position and being the only daughter to the heir of the Iron Throne, Aemma was no highborn lady. Aemma was outspoken, stubborn, and determined to be a fighter and dragon rider. Aemma grew up with a close bond with her dragon. The she dragon was black as night and was named Ebrior for her coloring. But Aemma's demeanor made her a constant target for the court and her step-grandmother, Queen Alicent Hightower. But Aemma knew how to stay hidden in King's Landing. Growing up in King's landing meant that one always had to be cautious, especially with snakes in green lurking around the corner. Read A War of Wings to see what happens to Aemma and her family. (Ages have been changed to reflect closer to the televised version: Aegon was born in 105 AC, Helaena in 108 AC, Aemond in 109 AC, and Daeron in 111 AC. Jace is born in 110 AC, Luke was born in 112 AC, and Aemma, Baela and Rhaena were born in 113 AC)

Rhaella Velaryon, firstborn daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon, and the second in line to the Iron Throne. Rhaella has spent her entire life ensuring she is nothing but the image of perfection, carefully considering every step, every word, every smile: knowing that their enemies are always watching and waiting in the shadows for her mother's downfall. She studied her high Valyrian to perfection, learnt the art of Westerosi politics, and never left her chambers with a hair out of place. Most of all, she knew to stay far away from her uncles and their mother, who had all resented the day she was born with silver hair and purple eyes. But she wore her legitimacy like armour, protecting her younger brothers, each with thick, dark hair, with fire and blood. Her mother had told her family was the most important thing in this world, family and their duty to the Seven Kingdoms, and she has never once doubted her. But when Rhaella is summoned back to Kings Landing, from her home on her adored Dragonstone, she knows she is to be tested more than ever before, and little does she know that a certain one eyed Targaryen is soon to became the bane of her entire existence. Perfection is just so damn hard to keep up, and the cracks may just be starting to show. •Enemies to lovers• •Slow burn• •Aemond Targaryen• •O/C Rhaella Velaryon• Disclaimer- Rhaella has been aged up considerably from the any other of Rhaenyra's children in the show/book timeline, just to make any relationship less inappropriate than it already is. Please ignore any inconsistencies this creates, it's my own story and won't follow the show 100%
