Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)
    
    It might be because she's Daemon Targaryen's daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.
    
    So many might-be's, but one thing is certain: she wasn't meant to exist and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world ever so slightly off its axis. Why not change it further?
    
    Or: Targaryens really aren't human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well. And sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.

    A House of the Dragon Fanfiction.
    A story about family, growing up, magic, dragons, and maybe saving the world a little.

  The chapters are typically 8-11 thousand words long so I split them for easier reading.

Jace/Female OC -NOT A SELF INSERT SMUT A bit of a Cregan Stark side story. He pleases BOTH of his dragons. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Precursory for new readers: this was written after season one of HOTD, I will not be changing anything when season 2 comes out. Also ages are not my strong suite and may be inconsistent but any smut happens when they're both of age Daemon swore a child could never grow in the venomous pit that was his bronze bitch in the Vale. It was the sense of humour of the Gods to give Rhea Royce a child the very image of her absent husband's own mother. An even further mockery of the Royce line was the carbon copy attitude Alyssa Targaryen was gifted from her father. "𝘈𝘭𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤." His little dragon, his child to a fault. And there were many. But Alyssa was ever her father's daughter. Eternally loyal to her family, breaker of law and tradition, and eager to cause as much upset in any capacity it is provided to her. She has tastes and desires that are satisfied no matter what the poor Septas have tried to tell her. Alyssa is Daemon Targaryens child. She will never turn her back on her family. She will defend Rhaenyra's honour as fiercely as if it was her own. Jacaerys Velaryon finds himself a fortunate ally to Alyssa Targaryen. His sense of duty and sacrifice do not go unnoticed by the fiery and impulsive daughter of the Rogue Prince. She has the fire to burn their enemies to the ground. He has the breeze to fan the flame brighter or the structure to keep the fire contented. *** "I fear for the men of the realm when she grows into a woman." Daemon shook his head. "I fear only for myself." ***

Daenyra wasn't like most girls because she would train in all things including weapons, hand to hand combat and war strategies.

In secret he was training Daenyra to be his Heir though he covered up his plan by having Rhaegar as his named Heir. When the Rebellion happens she is ushered to Dragonstone alongside her mother and Viserys after the raid of Kingslanding. She is there for her sisters birth and the death of he mother.

- "ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ꜱʜᴇ ɪꜱ. ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ᴏɴʟʏ ɪɴꜱɪᴅᴇ ʜᴇʀ ʜᴇᴀᴅ." -ᴊᴀɴᴇᴛ ꜰɪʟᴄʜ Aemma Velaryon, second born child of Rhaenyra 'the realms delight' Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon. Born with silver golden locks and dark brown eyes with the simplest tint of purple in it. Aemma was described to be a young girl made from scrapes of Targaryen women. From looks to personality, she never failed to be seen as someone else. That's why people around the realm called her 'The beauty of the realm' due to her valyrian looks. But her beauty was like crafted to be seen as many Targaryen women but herself. Although, with all that traits the only thing people see her as, is her own grandmother, Queen Aemma Arryn. But yet even with her beautiful looks she's always beat her brothers in sword fighting due to the lessons she gets from her sworn protector, Keegan Snow. gentle, kind, loving, sees no difference between low borns and high borns Fond of books, quiet, tends to be straightforward, and bright. Always in need of comfort from her mother, afraid of doing things due to potential doing something wrong, and timid- well most of the time. The only thing she cares about sharing with her ancestors is her curse to hear whispers from the stranger with her pet snakes. Strange... yet needed, especially when war broke out and everyone had to choose sides and die for the sake on who will rule the seven kingdoms. BENJICOT BLACKWOOD X OC! Only has little smut bcs I can't write it. ____________________________________ I haven't watched GOT nor have I read the books yet so I follow what the show is doing.

The Dragonrider (Aegon Targaryen) by groovydaisy4526

Maela Velaryon, daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon was a very caring, compassionate, and empathetic young woman. But despite having a good heart, she was also very determined, intelligent, and stubborn. The rift between Rhaenyra and her family had grown in recent times, so Rhaenyra and her family, in an attempt to make peace, promised Maela to her uncle, Aegon Targaryen, named heir to the Iron Throne. She had zero interest in being betrothed to anyone, let alone Aegon of all people...but she knew it was her duty to secure peace and protect her family. She knew what she had to do. But what happens when she comes to his aid on their wedding night, and they both start to grow on one another? Will he be able to stay true? Will the peace they attempted to make be made permanent? Or will the House of the Dragon crumble and everything falls apart? **all rights and credit go to GRRM and the creators of GOT/HOTD. I take credit my character and her storyline.**

The Black Death by dragontheofhouse

"You look just like your mother." "I guess I do carry her tenderness well." "You both have the same eyes." "We are both exhausted." "And the hands." "We share the same wilting fingers." "But that rage... Your mother doesn't wear that anger." "You're right. This rage is the one thing I get from my father." Visenya Targaryen. The daughter of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen. Visenya come again. The Black Death. . . . SPOILERS/Writers note: I took a bit of a liberty with the timeline, so it's different than the books/tv show. In my timeline, Visenya is born after Jacearys but before Lucerys and Joff. Laena and Laenor Velaryon die a year in between each other. First Laena, then Laenor. . So Daemon and Rhaenyra don't get together two seconds after their spouses die. The time jump happens 5 years after Visenya leaves dragonstone. The starting ages of characters are Visenya - 15, Tyana - 15, Helaena - 16, Aemond - 14, Aegon and Jacearys - 16, Lucerys - 10, Joffrey - 0.

An Eye for an Eye | Aemond Targaryen² ✔ by ace_asterisk

~Judas did this for him, but his soul still howls / his mouth still aches~ Daenys Velaryon no longer knew the difference between sacrifice and self-slaughter, nor where the violence against oneself ended. A Kinslayer, a rabid dog; such creatures had no use in a world of peace. Such creatures did not deserve peace. She was a tall child with no lap to crawl into, for who would wish to hold a thing like her, shame clotting in her blood like a curdling sickness. She, with the incessant need to apologize to everyone who ever knew her, for the inconvenience she caused them by making her existence known, walking into a room and searching for an empty seat so no one had to go through the painful act of sitting with her. Velaryons were supposed to be of the sea, but she was a burning ship, a vicinity one had to always flee. If anyone deserved to extinguish themselves in a kamikaze blaze, it was her, the one who would be missed least of all, who was needed least of all when the realm finally knew peace. © ace_asterisk **Sequel to Before the Sky Falls **Book 2/2 Most impressive rankings: - #1 in houseofthedragon - #1 in aemondtargaryen - #1 in Aegon - #1 in aemondxoc

The Last Targaryens (WTS) by MadisonWest713

Let me just point out that this is MadisonWest714, I recently lost my Wattpad password and can't access my old account so I created a new one. I'm going to be transferring all my stories to this one. Those from the past watch the lives of their descendants. And how a certain Daema Targaryen changed history forever.

A WAR of FLESH and BLOOD || Rhaenyra Targaryen by xdmf3_

Elaella Velaryon, Oldest of House Velaryon. Captain of the Sea Reaper. Everything her Father wished for in an heir, except she wasn't. Growing up she was always mistaken for a bastard, hair as black as night when Velaryon seed was thought to have been dominant. Until one day changed everything for her, changing her entire course of trajectory. She knew that the Princess was close to her heart for some reason unknown, until it wasn't. So what happens when King Viserys dies, throwing the entire Kingdom into disarray as to who would claim the Iron Throne. When Rhaenyra's claim is threatened by her brothers, well there was only one reason for the Velaryon. Clear as day. She would do anything to see her Queen on the Iron Throne. And she would kill anything and anyone in her way of seeing it happen. ✧✧✧ "So then why does my heart burn for you. Ever since I have met you. You are the only one in my heart. Why am I not the only one for you?" She cried out, tears welling in her eyes as she pleaded. Her body threatening to give out underneath her, ready to beg for her affection. "Elaella.." Rhaenyra murmured, her heart aching at the sight of her love so close to crying. She despised to see her so hurt. And yet, she was the one causing her this pain. ✧✧✧ Rhaenyra Targaryen x Fem OC ✧✧✧ This will be a canon divergence FF, some aspects will remain the same, while others changed. Angsty so buckle up and enjoy the ride ✧✧✧
