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***

His Love, His Life (Viserys I Targaryen) by angel-legend
30 parts Ongoing Mature
After the death of his son, Baelon, and his wife, Queen Aemma, Viserys I Targaryen has felt lost and alone. His daughter hated him for his decision, but she wouldn't listen to his explanations. The Maester had made it clear that Aemma was not going to survive this birth. Was he a monster for trying to at least save his son? In the end, Baelon did not make it through the night & was put to rest alongside his mother. Almost 6 months after his wife's passing, he met someone. He knew it was crazy, but it felt like love at first sight. His Hand's eldest daughter, whom he had never met, had come to Kings Landing unexpectedly. She was a woman of 19 who had made a deal with her father that she would marry whomever he wanted her to without argument if he simply allowed her to travel the world for a few years. She left her home a quiet and lonesome child of 16 and came back a beautiful, elegant, and full of fire woman of 19. Her name was Annora Hightower. When Annora had her 19th name day, she received a letter from her father, Otto Hightower, telling her that her time was up and she was to come home. However, he was in for a rude awakening. For her strings were her own now. No longer would she be his to toy with, and she refused to allow her father to corrupt and torment her little sister, Alicent, any longer. If she must, she would take Alicent's place in whatever fucked up plan that her father had come up with to achieve his power. Notes: -WARNING-> there will be smut! Chapters marked [Chapter]* contain smut -Hightower bashing! -Don't like my story? Then don't read it :)

- "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.

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." ***
