Ashes Beneath the Veil ~ Valarr Targaryen
Deamyra was not raised to inherit power. She was raised to survive it. In a court where daughters are bargaining tools and affection is a liability, she understands one truth above all: safety is never given - it is secured. Valarr Targaryen is not the most charming of princes. He is not reckless. He is not easily swayed. But he is steady. In a world of unpredictable men and burning tempers, Valarr is restraint. Discipline. Protection forged in black steel. He does not promise romance - he promises order. And to Deamyra, order is worth more than poetry. She does not dream of fairy tales. She dreams of permanence. Of a place no one can remove her from. If becoming his wife means safety, she will become indispensable. If bearing his child means security, she will not hesitate. If loving him makes it easier to stay - she may allow herself that luxury. Because in the game of dragons, love is uncertain. But protection - protection can be chosen. And Deamyra has chosen.Complete

Purgatory - 𝑮𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒏𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓
If there were no Valyrian features of pale lilac eyes and silver hair. If there was no sharp scaled beast, unholy offspring of purple fire and darkness, bestowed the name of Nightfury. Princess Elaena would be the clone of Aemma, the late first wife of King Viserys-a constant reminder of his failings. A whisper by Otto Hightower was enough to convince her father to assign Ser Gwayne as her sworn protector. Nausea as the chilling tickle of the green snake circling her ankles rise to her throat. A path with the bidding choice of marriage and the horror of fate repeated as the gods have stolen her mother from her life.

Velarium (n., Latin, neuter) /veˈlaː.ri.um/ A canopy drawn against the harshness of light ; a veil held between the self and what would otherwise burn.

OURS IS THE FURY - a game of thrones fanfic
Jayme Baratheon was born for the throne- trained by King Robert himself, raised to lead, and named his heir in a will no one ever saw. But when her father dies, her crown is stolen by her younger brother Joffrey... and her life becomes the next thing on the chopping block. Betrayed by her mother and hunted by her own blood, Jayme flees King's Landing with nothing but a name and a target on her back. Desperate and alone, she seeks help from Robb Stark-the only king who hasn't lied to her. She expected protection. She didn't expect love. But war is coming, and in a world where thrones are bought in blood, even a crownless princess has a price on her head.
