Bunny || Maekar Targaryen x Oc

Amandyne Baratheon has waited her whole life to see the world beyond the walls of Storm's End. Newly nineteen and stubbornly alive with curiosity, she forces her way into the greatest tournament the realm has seen - feasts that last for days, knights who fight for glory, songs that linger long after the fires burn low.

What she does not expect is to meet a man who carries the weight of a crown he does not yet wear.

Prince Maekar Targaryen is duty-bound, battle-worn, and quietly unraveling beneath the expectations of his name. He has sons old enough to make him feel ancient. He has a family already splintering at the seams. He has no space in his life for softness - until a Stormlands girl with bright eyes and too much heart steps into his shadow and refuses to leave.

Their worlds are not meant to touch. The Baratheons and the Targaryens keep their distance. The realm watches every misstep. Yet in the quiet spaces between banners and firelight, Amandyne becomes the one place Maekar does not have to be a prince - only a man afraid of failing his sons, his house, and his own heart.

But tournaments end. Blood is spilled. Duty calls louder than desire.

And some loves are born in moments the world does not allow to last.

<< The first time Amandyne Baratheon met him, she thought he was only a knight - quiet, broad-shouldered, standing alone beside a restless horse while the world celebrated behind them. He did not smile when she laughed. He did not look away when she caught him staring. And when she left, heart racing for reasons she did not yet understand, the man who was not supposed to want her watched the darkness swallow her whole. >>
