Elinor Royce never asked to become a dragonrider. Raised in the Vale, she lived her life as the overlooked daughter of Daemon Targaryen, far removed from her Valyrian heritage. But when Lady Arryn decrees that she must train at Dragonstone Academy and bond with a dragon to protect her homeland, Ellie has no choice.
The academy is deadly, and only the strongest survive the training. Without any preparation or support, Ellie must compete against more experienced rivals, navigate political conspiracies, and endure the dreaded Trial by Fire, where each candidate faces a dragon to form a bond that could define - or destroy - them.
Worse yet, Aemond Targaryen - a lethal veteran and prodigy of the academy, already bonded to the fearsome Vhagar - seems determined to make her his newest adversary. As hostility between them grows, Ellie must decide whether Aemond is her greatest threat... or something far more complicated.
On the battlefield and beyond, danger lurks everywhere. And Ellie is about to discover that surviving the academy is only the beginning.
Will she rise to claim her destiny, or will the flames consume her first?

That fear was replaced with anger. Rage. He had known rage. He knew it well enough to know what was to come next. Nothing could stop Aemond Targaryen as he tore the man from Aemma. Aemond did not spare the look of surprise on the man's face a second thought. His fist collided with the man's nose first. Then his cheekbone. Then his right eye. His nose. His left eye." ~ Aemma Velaryon is the eldest daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen, the Black Queen. Aemond Targaryen is the youngest son of Alicent Hightower, the queen of the Greens. When they are arranged to be wed, a reluctant but reliant bond is forged. Can their love rise above the flames set alight by their parents? Or will the forces at work push them to opposite sides of an oncoming war? [fanfiction inspired by the House of the Dragon show]

"A Targaryen alone in the world, is a terrible thing." Valaena Targaryen was born with one purpose, to do the impossible and dispel the vile rumors that her brothers are bastards, allowing them to take the title of Heir after their mother Rhaenyra Targaryen, and father Laenor Velaryon. Only when her egg fails to hatch in the cradle, her Targaryen features aren't enough to save her from her mother's quiet disdain and the treasonous rumors circling court. So when Lucerys's actions and Aemond's betrayal lead to an unforeseen punishment demanded by Queen Alicent, Val is forced to bear the brunt of it due to their mother, Heir to the Iron Throne, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen's favoritism. Banished from Westeros, Val embarks on a decade-long journey where she has nothing but time to plot her return to the Seven Kingdoms. This will also be available on Ao3.

The Silver Dragon | Aemond Targaryen
Lady Arianwyn Targaryen, Lady of Runestone, was not born of love. Nor passion. Nor even a sense of duty. She was seeded by her father, the Rogue Prince Daemon Targaryen, in an act of unbridled hatred, and borne of her mother, the late Lady Rhea Royce, as a desperate grasp at revenge. But even a child born of such darkness can find her way to the light. With her mother dead, and father flown across the Narrow Sea with a new wife, the girl is taken in by her Aunt, the Queen Alicent Hightower, to be raised among the little family she has left. There, she finds her cousin, Prince Aemond Targaryen. As they grow, the two find themselves indelibly bonded. The two spend long nights in the palace library together, studying the histories of both Old Valyria and the First Men, seeking to understand who they are and where they fit in the world. But finding that place proves more difficult than in the fairy tales they read. The seeds of disaster were laid long before they were born, and as tensions in the family rise, it seems as though their places may begin to diverge. Will they be pulled apart when the dragons dance?Complete
