Before the Rebellion, before the fall of kings, before the dragons' fire consumed the realm...
In the waning years of King Aerys II's reign, as shadows lengthen over Westeros, a new figure rises in the courts of power. Rhaenor Martell-noble scion of Dorne, loyal advisor, and skilled swordsman-is no mere observer to the storm gathering on the horizon. Bound by blood and honor to House Targaryen through the marriage of Prince Rhaegar to his cousin Elia, Rhaenor navigates a perilous web of court intrigue, ancient grudges, and whispered betrayals.
As alliances shift and loyalties are tested, Rhaenor's deft hand and keen mind may prove the key to survival-or the spark that ignites a kingdom's destruction. In a world where every smile hides a dagger, and every oath can be broken, the thorn must decide: protect the dragons or prick them with the sting of Dornish steel.
In the game of thrones, even the smallest player can change the fate of a kingdom.

Willa
In the golden years of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen's reign, the realm is at peace - dragons rule the skies, and prosperity blooms in every field of Westeros. From the Reach comes Lady Willa Tyrell, daughter of Florence and Martyn Tyrell, newly brought to court as her family ascends in power. Raised among roses and reason, Willa soon finds herself entangled with those born of fire: the royal children she grows beside - Aemon, noble and measured; Baelon, fierce and restless; and Alyssa, bright as sunlight on steel. What begins as innocent friendship deepens into rivalries and forbidden affections that threaten to shatter the fragile peace of the Red Keep. As whispers spread through the court and brothers draw blades in the yard, Willa learns that even flowers can burn - and that love, in the shadow of dragons, is both a gift and a curse. A tale of love and loss, mothers and sons, and the quiet power of women in a world that forgets their worth - this is the story of the girl who captured a dragon's heart and paid the price for it.

The Stag's Heir of Fire (GOT x Male OC Story)
He was born in fire and hunger, during the long siege of Storm's End, and hardship has been his shadow ever since. Now sixteen, he is the only son of Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Dragonstone and claimant to the Iron Throne. From the moment of his birth, he has carried the burden of duty, raised beneath his father's stern gaze and within the shadow of Robert's reckless legacy. To the lords of Westeros, he is not merely a boy, but the embodiment of House Baratheon's future-a living heir forged in fire, discipline, and the unyielding justice Stannis demands. Yet within the cold stone halls of Dragonstone, doubt gnaws at him. The weight of expectation presses heavily, leaving him to wonder whether he is destined to become his father's steel or his uncle's storm. He has never known Robert's laughter nor Renly's charm, only the austere lessons of a man who gives little and demands much. As war consumes the realm and kings rise only to fall, his path remains unwritten. Loyalty, power, and fire will shape his fate-and in the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, even the son of Stannis Baratheon may decide the course of a realm.
