Starla Younge is a young woman who is the lady-in-waiting for Queen Aemma Arryn. Starla grew up with Aemma, and the two were considered sisters. When Aemma died, Starla felt devastated. But she comforted Viserys in the time he needed it instead of Alicent, who was terrified of the woman. Rhaenyra loves her because she puts men in their places and doesn't take shit from no one. 

"Starla is one scary woman. She doesn't take shit from no one and put men in their place." Rhaenyra said. 

"We need her on our side just in case," Daemon said. 

"No, I trust my stepmother. She won't betray me." Rhaenyra told her uncle. 

"Mother, I don't want to become King. The council has been conspiring against you." Aegon told his mother. 

"What!?" Starla exclaimed, causing the ones to hear her to back away. 

Starla stormed towards the council room, and when she stormed through the halls, maids, servants, squires, and guards all stared, wondering what angered the Queen. She barges into the council room to see the council members, except her husband, who is currently bedridden. The men all looked up, and their faces turned to horror. 

"Ser Harrold!" Starla yelled, and the commander walked in. 

"Yes, My Queen?" Ser Harrold asks. 

"Get the rest of the Kingsguards and arrest each of the council members. They have been conspiring against the king. I will reveal the rest later." Starla said, and the commander nodded as the rest of the Kingsguards walked in. "I'm gonna go talk to my husband." 

"Your Grace-" Otto starts, but Starla held her hand up. 

"You should know better, Otto. This is what happens when you conspire against the King and his chosen heir." Starla said as she walked over to the Hand and took the pin off his shirt.

There were two babes in the Tower of Joy. Two babes tied so closely to their parents, Ned had to make the decision. One with hair like raven feathers, eyes as grey as steel, and a face of a true Stark. The other, with hair like moonlight, eyes like an indigo pool, and every delicate feature that the Targaryens held above all else. Aegon and Visenya. The prince(ss) that was promised. -- Rhaella made a choice that day Rhaegar's heir arrived on Dragonstone; to forever hide the parentage of Visenya Targaryen and to cut her completely from the prophecy her son was so dedicated to. Visenya Targaryen, Daughter of Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen was no more; in her place grew Rhaenar Waters, bastard daughter of The Mad King and soon to be heir apparent. -- Incest warning, major character deaths, gore, smutty scenes... typical Game of Thrones warnings Runs on a similar line to Daenerys but with changes and different pairings and decisions. I won't lie, there is a whole host of relationships and funny business going on with this book; so expect Jon, Mero, Oberyn, and Drogo at the very least. AN: I'm going to be honest with you, this is a long and wild ride that you may or may not read. It goes through each season episode by episode and takes Daenerys place with different outcomes. There are multiple endings for those who either don't mind Incest, or would prefer to completely steer clear. It's completely up to you. So if you read, thank you so much; and if you don't, I hope you find the right story for you if this isn't the one.

- "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.

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%
OF BASTARDS & DRAGONS || Aenar Targaryen [Book One] by Iamlewakulture
121 parts Complete Mature
"F-fuck." Alicent's shudders bitting her lips as his girth shifts her womb. "Argh!..." Aenar groans into her ear as he grasped her hips and thrust, hours and hours of his own pent-up desire, fuelling each lunge into her, the silky sheath of his steel member massaging the walls of her core. Had she thought his tongue provided the perfect friction? She was wrong again; it was his cock, every inch of it, stimulating the entire length of her canal, each thrust sending sparks through her. "Yes....fuck me harder!." Alicent moaned back, and bent over as far as she could, pulling his cock even deeper, so that he dragged at each ridge of her core wall with every thrust. Aenar's lips were still glistening and wet with her juices as he nibbled gently at her nipples, then raised his head and put his hands on either side of her swaying body. Each thrust of his hips was a forceful foreshock that rippled through her, sending shockwaves from her core through her whole body, finally escaping as heat through every flushed pore in her skin. OF BASTARDS & DRAGONS is an explicit tale of erotic theme, a storytelling advantage between two adults committing sin in the bowels of the Red Keep. Prince Aenar Targaryen and Lady Alicent Hightower, their relationship is far more troubling, complex, and interestingly dirty in romance and sex. In a world as ruthless as Westeros, finding solace in unexpected places is both rare and precious. Despite the controversy, it's undeniable that their bond makes sense, given their histories and emotional journeys. Aenar and King Viserys wife, Alicent have entangled themselves in a way that has often doomed other duos because personal relationships have a tendency to undermine duty and rational thinking. Every character's ideas of marital unions and love are vastly different from each other, giving rise to insightful and memorable impact, thereby causing a division of civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons between Bastards. 2024 © Lewa
