After the death of her mother, Alysanne's world is forever changed. Grief follows her like a shadow, and the future she once imagined seems farther away than ever. The last thing she expects is to find comfort in a stranger.
Gwayne enters her life at a time when neither of them is looking for love. What begins as an unlikely friendship slowly blossoms into something deeper, something neither of them can deny. Amid courtly expectations, family loyalties, and the growing tensions that divide the realm, they find solace in one another.
But the gods have never been known for their mercy.
As old rivalries turn into open conflict and fate tightens its grip around them, Alysanne and Gwayne are forced to face a cruel truth: love alone may not be enough to overcome the darkness gathering on the horizon.
Caught between duty and desire, between black and green, they must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for each other before the realm tears them apart.

Before the Bells [Gwayne Hightower]
Before the war, before Aegon took the throne, before her bestfriend married her father, Rhealla Targaryen was simply girl in love with her bestfriends older brother. They were each other's first love-until war, pride, and family tore them apart. Fifteen years later, Gwayne Hightower returns to King's Landing to find the Targaryen princess he left behind, living as a glorified prisoner of the Greens. Forced together while the realm burns, they discover that hatred is far easier than forgiving the one person they never truly stopped loving.
'𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆' | 𝘴𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭
Princess Elaena Targaryen has always been too gentle for court - too kind, too soft, too willing to love even those beneath her station. When her brother's cruelty pushes her and young Aegon to flee, she trades silk for dust and crowns for anonymity, calling herself Ella among the smallfolk. On the road, she meets a hedge knight with a gentle heart and towering height, and for the first time, Elaena learns what it means to be seen not as a princess - but as a girl. But secrets are fragile things, and dragons are not meant to remain hidden forever.
The green angel /Gwayne Hightower

𝖎'𝖒 𝖔𝖓 𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖊 ➵ DAERON TARGARYEN
Naeressa Targaryen was born of dragon's blood. Pale hair. Soft violet eyes. A child who listens more than she speaks. The world around her shifts like embers in a dying hearth: kings, cousins, promises, and grief. All things burn in time. Yet Naeressa hears what others do not. The whisper of harp strings. The hush before a storm. The soft language of flame. Sometimes she looks into the fire. Sometimes the fire looks back. DAERON TARGARYEN X FEMALE!TARGARYEN!OC #16 in targaryen 4/19/26
THE SUN PRINCESS | Maekar Targaryen x OC
Deria Martell, Maekar and Baelor's cousin, was a striking figure of her age. Her beauty drew many admirers, and more than one noble lord sought the hand of King Daeron's II niece. Yet he loved his foster daughter dearly and never sought to impose his will upon her. The girl's heart, as was oft whispered at court, belonged to but one of the four brothers-the coldest, harshest, and most withdrawn among them. The story of her relationship with Prince Maekar was a tangled and thorny one, and in time gave rise to countless tales, half-truths, and legends.
Amor Fati | Maekar Targaryen
None who witnessed the match between Prince Maekar Targaryen and Princess Lihua of Leng could call it a happy one, but few royal marriages were fashioned for happiness. There had scarcely been time enough to comprehend Dyanna's loss before the king began speaking of remarriage, insisting that Summerhall required stability, that Maekar's household had fallen into disorder without a lady to govern it, and that six motherless children could not be left to nurse their sorrow alone. But all Maekar could think, each time the subject arose, was that Summerhall already belonged to Dyanna. To bring another woman into her keep was sacrilege, and thus, their marriage became known as a union of absence, between them stretching a gulf neither seemed willing to cross. Maekar Targaryen x OC
The Dreams of a Dragon
Daeron Targaryen was used to night horrors, not dreams about a pretty girl in a lilac dressed holding him in her arms. And yet the same woman had been visiting him for days now. Aelora Targaryen was six-and-ten now, the usual age for a marriage, one that she wasn't ready for. But it was her only chance to get the silver brooch on Baelor's chest and become his Lady Hand someday. A dreamer and a princess meet again in the capital. Will they be able to save their house from ruin?
'𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆' | 𝘔𝘢𝘦𝘬𝘢𝘳 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯
They call Lady Mirella cold. She does not smile for court, does not flatter, does not pretend. In a world that rewards softness, she chooses restraint. She loves fiercely, disciplines sharply, and refuses to perform for men who mistake silence for weakness. But as her children grow into legends - and something darker - Mirella learns that control is an illusion, and fire does not care how steady your hands are. Power has never been controlled.
Love and Obsession || Baelor Targaryen, Lyonel Baratheon, and Maekar Targaryen
Alternate Universe! At Stanford, ambition is practically a prerequisite. Everyone is building something: careers, reputations, futures that stretch far beyond the sandstone arches of campus. Ophelia spends most of her time staring at MRI scans of the human brain, chasing patterns that might explain how people think, decide, and sometimes obsess. As a 5th year graduate student hoping to break into consulting, she's learned to balance research, networking, and the strange collection of classes that might make her just useful enough to the right people. Around her, other brilliant minds are doing the same. At her side, a relentless MD-PhD scientist determined to build a lab of his own. Somewhere across campus, a newly hired law professor whose work in biotech patents has earned him a reputation well beyond the law school. At the business school, a consulting club president who treats career preparation like a competitive sport. All of them are chasing something just out of reach. Together, they're about to discover that brilliance has its own kind of gravity, one that pulls people toward obsession, rivalry, and something dangerously close to love.
