*She was born beneath a crown she would never wear-silent, second, and unseen.*
Vaerra Targaryen is the twin sister history forgot.
Overshadowed by the Realm's Delight, Princess Rhaenyra, Vaerra lives a life of quiet duty-loyal to her house, obedient to her father, and bound in a loveless marriage to Ser Harwin Strong. But when she discovers the truth-that her sister has taken not only the throne's favor, but her husband's heart-something inside her begins to crack.
What begins as heartbreak soon hardens into something colder. Sharper.
As Rhaenyra rises, Vaerra begins to drift-into the shadows of the Red Keep, into whispered conversations with the Queen, and into the eyes of those who see more use in the silent twin than the crown's heir ever did.
In a realm where dragons dance and blood burns, **Vaerra must decide what kind of sister she truly is-loyal, or forgotten. Silent, or sovereign.**
A slow-burn tale of betrayal, identity, and the quiet fury of a woman pushed too far.

Dragon Tamer |A Daemon Targaryen Fanfic|
[BOOK ONE OF THE BLOODSONG CYCLE] In the aftermath of the Doom of Valyria, House Vahrarys-one of the last surviving dragonlord families-returns to Westeros cloaked in secrets, power, and ancient flame. Lyrah Vahrarys, sharp-tongued and untamed, is bound by duty to marry Prince Daemon Targaryen, forging a political alliance meant to tether her dragonfire to the Iron Throne. But Lyrah is no obedient bride. Forced to consummate her marriage under the eyes of the court, Lyrah endures a brutal tradition meant to strip her of autonomy and crown her a spectacle.

Daemon, reckless and unrepentant, shields her in ways no one expects-becoming both weapon and refuge as the two clash, burn, and slowly begin to understand the dangerous power in choosing one another. As whispers coil through court and old blood rises from beneath the stone, Lyrah must navigate venomous politics, a tyrannical mother, and the treacherous pull of her own heart. Bound by fire, fear, and the ghosts of Valyria, she refuses to kneel-not to kings, not to tradition, not even to love. Because some dragons were never meant to be tamed.Complete
These Ashes Between Us | A. Targaryen
{More Book accurate than Show accurate Cuz Fuck Ryan Condal & Sara Hess} Born in the heart of fire and blood, Saera Velaryon, the eldest daughter and heir of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, was a child beloved beyond measure-a princess draped in adoration, raised to believe the Iron Throne was her birthright. The realm called her *Saera the Spoiled*, for she had never known a world where she was not treasured. But war does not spare even the most cherished. When the Dance of the Dragons erupts, the realm fractures between Black and Green. Prince Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed rider of Vhagar, stands at the forefront of the war, a blade in the name of his mother, Queen Alicent Hightower, and his brother, King Aegon II. A warrior forged in anger, ruthless and unyielding, but was his sword ever truly theirs to start? Aemond harbors a secret-a devotion that undermines the very cause he supposedly fights for. For all his wrath and violence, his heart has been lost to Saera since childhood, bound to her by longing, by fate, by a love neither of them dared to name. When duty and desperation forced them into an marriage before the war broke, their union was meant to be a bridge between Green and Black, a political bond to quell animosity and resentment. But beneath the weight of war and betrayal, behind closed doors and whispered confessions, *love*-unyielding, undeniable-has already taken root. Their love is a treasonous thing, a flame burning between two sides sworn to destroy each other. And in the end, when the blood of kin stains the realm and dragons fall from the sky, Aemond must make a choice-his family or his wife, his crown or his heart. For what is duty when weighed against devotion? And what is a throne when set against love? _ "And then the storm broke, and the dragons danced."
Sweet obedience
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.

When Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena Targaryen awaken in 113 AC after the fall at Rook's Rest, they realize the gods have granted them a second chance to save their house, and perhaps themselves.

As Daemon Targaryen's shadow grows ever darker, the siblings must navigate a perilous web of love, loyalty, and destiny itself to keep both the realm and their hearts from turning to ash.
The White Flame

But the flame knew. And when it stirred, it did not rise alone. With her came something older than crowns and thrones - a whisper of Old Valyria, reborn in flesh. She was never meant to rule but when her House stood on the edge of ruin, it was Visenya who burned brightest. She came to remind the realm that fire was never meant to kneel, and the blood of the dragon does not fade - It conquers. _______________________________________ ⚠️ Disclaimer Credits: This story is based on the world of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.

Beneath the Throne| Baelon & Aemma
Baelon Targaryen was the elder twin of Prince Aegon and the firstborn son of King Viserys I Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower. Yet despite Baelon's seniority, Viserys remained steadfast in his decision to name his half-sister, Princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Iron Throne. The choice ignited whispers across the realm, sharpened by the scandalous rumors that swirled around Rhaenyra's closeness with her uncle, Daemon Targaryen. By then, Baelon and Aegon were little more than infants, too young to understand the storm brewing around their family. As he grew, Baelon became all too aware of the court's ceaseless speculation-particularly concerning Rhaenyra's children. Her firstborn daughter, Princess Aemma Velaryon, was born scarcely a year after her marriage to Laenor Velaryon. Some swore Aemma was Laenor's trueblood child, while others claimed she, like her younger siblings, was fathered by Ser Harwin Strong. Though Laenor acknowledged them all as his own, doubt clung to Aemma's parentage like smoke. Despite the enmity between their mothers, Aemma and Baelon forged an unshakable bond. Both Alicent and Rhaenyra warned their children to keep apart-whether out of political caution, mistrust, or the fear of scandal-but such commands only fueled their defiance. They slipped through the cracks of Red Keep vigilance, finding each other in shadowed corridors and moonlit chambers. Together they explored the streets of King's Landing, wandering far from watchful eyes into the bustling markets and even the notorious Street of Silk. By night, they crept into each other's rooms, whispering secrets until dawn. Their meetings were reckless, dangerous, and forbidden-but never once were they discovered. Within the heart of a family divided by crowns and claims, Baelon and Aemma carved out a secret world that belonged only to them....
A Shadow of Fire
A Tale of Blood, Betrayal, and the Rise of a Forgotten Heir The whispers of the past are not so easily silenced. Daenys Pyre was born in the shadows-a Targaryen bastard, raised in the back alleys of Pentos, unaware of the blood that burned in her veins. She lived as the daughter of a courtesan, far from the power and glory of the Seven Kingdoms, until a single truth shattered her world: she is the daughter of King Rhaegar Targaryen, the lost heir to a stolen birthright. Hunted by those who would see her erased, Daenys flees across the Narrow Sea, seeking refuge in the land her father once ruled. But Westeros is not the homecoming she imagined. The Iron Throne is not hers to claim. It belongs to her half-brother, Prince Daeron II, the firstborn son, the king who should have been her greatest ally-but now stands as her greatest rival. The court of King's Landing is a nest of vipers, ruled by the cunning and ruthless Queen Mother, Alicent Hightower. And in the shadows, her enemies plot her downfall-Prince Aerion Targaryen, her uncle, a man with a hunger for power, and the lords who would see her blood spilled before she could ever rise. But Daenys is not alone. The Velaryons, the Baratheons, the Tyrells, and the forgotten loyalists of her father's reign begin to whisper her name. And as she steps onto the path of war, a secret buried in her past threatens to reshape the very fate of the realm. A dragon does not beg. A dragon does not kneel. And when fire and blood call her name, Daenys will answer.Complete
