Hello dear Readers! So sorry for the delay in updates. I decided it best to take a little break from Wattpad, but I am officially back! And will hopefully make a start on writing the new chapter tonight. Thank you for your patience!

Hello dear author, as always, I hope you're doing well. I just noticed a parallel that makes me really sad. Since the beginning of Act 3, I’ve seen certain similarities between Gaella and young Rhaenyra, especially through her interactions with Helaena, which remind me of the younger Rhaenyra and Alicent duo.
At first, I thought Gaella and Helaena represented what Rhaenyra and Alicent could have become if they hadn’t turned into enemies. But now, I realize that the relationship between Gaella and Aemond more closely mirrors their current dynamic.
Among all her family members, Gaella was always the closest to Aemond, and he loved her deeply. They were always inseparable. But after he lost his eye, a sense of resentment toward Gaella grew. I also think there’s a part of him that feels envy and jealousy toward her. Even before losing his eye, Aemond always had a complex about her because Gaella represents everything he wants to be but can never become. It’s very reminiscent of Alicent’s feelings toward Rhaenyra.

I’d love to see a discussion between the two of them, similar to the one between Rhaenyra and Alicent at the end of season 2. It’s so heartbreaking to see people who were once so close tearing each other apart like this. I still have hope that, beneath all the rage Aemond carries, there’s a part of him that still holds onto those feelings for her. As for Gaella, I’m certain she does.

Oh my gosh, I got excited and wrote the first chapter of Act VI (just because) and holy wow you guys are not even ready for what is to come in the later Acts of Apricus
Parma_Violas
The next chapter has started being written, I just got myself excited and wrote a chapter for later on. The whole story has been planned, beginning until the very end and epilogue, and I just cannot wait to share it with you guys :)
CelestialBirdZ
@Parma_Violas I'm really looking forward to reading it, have you already finished writing the next chapter or are you just writing future chapters to plan the rest of this story?
Parma_Violas
Tonight everybody, Apricus returns ❤️
Parma_Violas
Apologies for the chapter delay! This next chapter has been really testing me. It’s one that I can’t quite seem to get right, and I’m not fully satisfied with something, I don’t publish it :/ Thank you all for your continued patience, it really is so reassuring ❤️

Hi author, I hope you're doing well. I really have to ask you something: Does Gaella have any descendants during the time of Game of Thrones? (If that's too much of a spoiler, no need to answer).
CelestialBirdZ
Thank you for the answer! I’m just happy to know that Daenerys is a descendant of Gaella (when you think about it, it makes sense, especially since her mother is named Rhaella and her brother Rhaegar). I’m 100% sure that if Gaella and Daenerys met, they would have been best friends. The two characters have so much in common, especially book-version Dany . (And I’m so intrigued by the relationship with the Tyrells—I hope it’s on Olenna’s side).
Parma_Violas
I can tell you her descendants without giving too much away. Those of Houses Martell, Baratheon and Targaryen within Game of Thrones are all direct descendants. She is also a loose ancestor to the houses of Arryn and Tyrell :)

So sorry for the Chapter III delay! I struggle a bit in writing combat scenes, and I’ve honestly rewritten it about five times as I want it to be just right for you guys!
Parma_Violas
Apologies if the recent chapter wasn’t up to my usual standard! Twas still written in a flu infused state!
Parma_Violas
Also, kind of tempted to, after I’ve finished writing Apricus completely, write a Merlin Fanfiction?
Parma_Violas
Hello, still recovering from the flu, so the Apricus update may take longer than expected. Thank you so much for all your patience so far :)

@worlderviolet @CelestialBirdZ @AenysTargaryen I can confirm I’m on the up! Have managed to write about 4,000 words or so of the new chapter :))
