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****

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 1 Note from the Author: The earlier chapters may contain some misspellings as they were written over a year ago. I plan to revise and update them soon-thank you for your patience! Princess Alyssa Velaryon, the firstborn child and only daughter of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, has been promised to the King's eldest son, Prince Aegon, since she was just eleven years old. After five years of quiet life with her family on Dragonstone following the infamous incident on Driftmark, Alyssa is summoned back to King's Landing by her grandsire, King Viserys, and his wife, Queen Alicent. There, she reunites with her betrothed for the first time since they were children. But the Prince she meets is far from the boy she remembers. Even if she remembers a good childhood with him, she finds it hard to imagen a good furture in marriage with him. Aegon is no stranger to strong wine and the seedier pleasures of the city's brothels, his reputation as a debauched and reckless heir known far and wide. And yet, Alyssa is not quite familiar with them, due to her mother and stepfathers efforts to shield her from such unpleasentries. Can Alyssa, a kind-hearted young girl, find a way to tame his wild spirit? Or is their marriage destined to collapse under the weight of their differences, political scheming, and the stormy Targaryen legacy? As alliances shift and enemies plot, this couple will be forced to navigate a tangled web of power, duty, and desire-where love and loyalty often come second to ambition. Trigger Warnings: This story contains themes of violence, underage marriage, mature content, explicit language, incest (classic Targaryens), and, unfortunately, Otto Hightower. If any of these topics are distressing, you shouldn't read this story.

His Love, His Life (Viserys I Targaryen) by angel-legend

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 :)

Familiarity ||| Jacaerys Velaryon by naerysa

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." ***

Blood Upon The Snow ||| Cregan Stark by naerysa

Cregan Stark/OC - NOT self insert SMUT teehee-characters are aged up and any smut that happens is with them of age Jacaera Velaryon, twin to Jacaerys Velaryon. Second in line to the Throne, born the spitting image of her great-grandmother Alyssa. She's always by her brother's side. But one word plagues them as they grow: bastard. It is ignored. They try to ignore it. But there are uncles to remind them of the word. Uncles that they train with, that they're supposed to be close with and love. Jacaera is not so lucky. She is cursed. Because one of her uncles takes an unwelcome interest in his child niece. Terrorizes her until there is nothing but fear. It is this that prompts a move. A relocation with their newest baby brother. Peace after an eventful funeral. But then feelings resurface. Fights at dinner. And Rhaenyra is usurped by the very same uncle that terrorized Jacaera. She will do anything to garner support for the rightful Queen. Treat with any Lords she must. There is one, however, that she might take more of a special interest in. One that could win the war. One beautiful northerner. Lord Cregan Stark. She needs his support. Among other things. Jacaera will have his support. And she will win the war for her mother or die trying.

Dragon Princess || Aegon II Targaryen by luisaqsantos

To some, she was just another princess who was kind, generous and had ethereal beauty. To the smallfolk, she was a dream and too good to share blood with the fuckers who rule Westeros and disgraced their lives. To Aegon, she was the love of his life. But the truth was Rhaenys Targaryen was the embodiment of the fire of Old Valyria. Gifted by the Old Gods of Valyria, Rhaenys possessed a unique bond with dragons. In fact, by the age of three and ten, she had already bonded with two dragons, a hacthling and others to come. Some whispered that she couldn't be burned, while others believed she couldn't bear children like any other woman. Some believe she was the embodiment of dragons herself. But neither Old or New Gods could predict or protect her from becoming one of the most significant players in the Dance of Dragons, the demise of dragons.

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.

𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒 || House Of The Dragon by flwernyrvie

- "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.

God's Game | House Of The Dragon by wienersoldat

M-A-M-A. G-I-R-L. Mamas Girl. Alicent Hightower loved all her children. She did, and no one could deny that. But she has and always will love her youngest daughter Aemma Targaryen just that little bit more. Aemma didn't look or act like any of her Targaryen siblings or her father. She looked exactly like her mother. With her reddish brown hair and green eyes, the only notion of her Valyrian heritage being the specks of violet in her eyes. Along with the fact that her twin brother was Aemond Targaryen, a man who looked to have the truest of true Valyrian blood running through his veins. The only downside was that Alicent couldn't speak her name. Of course the one thing that Viserys took from Alicent was choosing HER daughters name. And of all names the one of his deceased wife Aemma Arryn. Follow the story of Aemma Targaryen as she plays God's Game.
