    Summary

    "Why do you suppose the dragon have three heads again?"

    "It is not a dragon with three heads. Rather, it is three distinct dragons, do not be foolish now. It is the trio of dragonlords who conquered the realm: Visenya, Rhaenys, and Aegon," the princess corrected.

    "And you were saying… you would acquire your own trio of dragons?"

    "Why not? Aegon the Conqueror wed both of his sisters; why should I settle for just one?"

    Summary

    Bound by blood and forged by a malady of closeness, Daeron Targaryen and his cousin Aerren have spent their lives trying to outrun the ghosts of their House. As the years unravel through a haze of fractured prophetic dreams, fears for the future and shared memories, the line between devotion and destruction begins to blur. In the hollowed halls of the Red Keep and the beautiful gardens of Summerhall, they find that the only thing more dangerous than the madness of the dragon is someone who cannot let you face it alone.

    Summary

    Aerea Targaryen, second of her name, was not meant to love him. She and her path in life were the prickling thorn in her father’s flesh, raw and painful as it tried to balance between father’s love and duty for the royal family. As the fifth child of Prince Maekar, and so far down the succession line, the world was drawn very differently for her.

    Valarr Targaryen, second in line to the throne, was not meant to love her. He and his path in life were the pride and joy in his father’s hands, bright and honorable with steps chosen to eventually ascend the throne. As the first born son of Prince Baelor, and so close to the throne, the world had very specific and narrowed options for him.

    However, the strongest of minds result in the strongest of wills. And sometimes the unexpected warps the lives of everyone with simple actions and decisions, changing history for good.

    And sometimes what is forbidden, leads to events that bring joy of discovery, love for eternity and misery of war.

    Summary

    "Have you ever been to Dorne?"

    "Hm?" Daeron looked up, scratching his chin and reflecting. "Once, when I was a boy. You were there too, though you must have been too young to remember."

    --

    Aerion and Daeron talk about Dorne, and get the bright idea to go by themselves. Which can only end well.

    Summary

    House Yronwood, in the wake of the Blackfyre Rebellion, is barely keeping its head above water. Once a great power in Dorne, they are now forced to bend to House Targaryen, offering reluctant obedience in exchange for survival. And the Targaryens accept… but they always want more.

    The last thing left to give is Calla, eldest daughter and heir, stripped of everything she was meant to inherit.

    And the man she is given to is no prize. Daeron Targaryen is a prince with a reputation for wine, women, and wasted potential.

    Their marriage is not one of choice, and it begins as badly as it possibly can.

    But he is not what she expected. She is not what he knows how to handle. From the very first moment, nothing between them fits the way it should.

    The realm calls it duty.

    It will not stay that simple for long.

    Summary

    What if Prince Baelor had a daughter, and Prince Maekar another son? How would things change if said prince and princess made it to (and participated in) the Tourney at Ashford?

    Not a time-travel fic. An AU where Daenerys lives as Baelor's daughter & Jon as Maekar's son.

    Summary

    “I know you are strong but you will struggle. It will be hard on your body, tougher on the mind. You will suffer,” Shiera says, eyes meeting Aerion’s. “You are inexperienced. You cannot change your mind, for the ritual will fail. Do you truly wish to participate, princeling?”

    Her expression is stern. Aerion scowls at the challenge. “I said I would give my life and I mean it. Your warning changes nothing.”

    Shiera smiles, eyes dark. “Good boy.”

    Aerion gapes at her. There’s a searing heat flashing in his stomach, a mixture of anger and a sudden need to hear the words again. He stays silent, unsure whether to take offense. Something between a chuckle and a gasp leaves his throat.

    “Excuse me?”

    or

    Bloodraven and Shiera Seastar need a third participant for an important ritual. Prince Aerion is eager to step in. Whether he's actually needed, or the true purpose of the ritual — well, what Aerion doesn't know won't hurt him.

    Summary

    A modern woman fleeing war washes ashore in Westeros and is taken to Summerhall by Prince Maekar Targaryen.

    That would be dangerous enough but Helena has pale hair, no history, no house, and no place in the world she has entered. In the wrong hands, she could become a rumor. In Bloodraven’s hands, she could become a threat to be solved. In Maekar’s, she becomes something he intends to guard before he understands what guarding costs her. Because Maekar believes control is protection and Helena has already learned that control can be captivity.

    Summary

    Rubatosis - the unsettling awareness of the heartbeat was what Baelor Targaryen, the heir to the Iron Throne, the Lord Hand to the Good King, felt from the moment he laid eyes on Alarra Stark, the Princess of House Stark, the daughter of King in the North. It was the fastest, the loudest his heart thrummed, came alive from the years of pain and anguish it was buried under. Yet he had to return his heart back to its burial place; he was to be the next King and in none of the Seven hells or heavens, could he marry the daughter of the Northern Kingdom, the centuries long rival and enemy of his House.

    Summary

    Prince Maekar Targaryen never expected to wed again. He had no intention of seeking a second wife. He had done his duty—he had sons, four of them, to secure both his legacy and the future of House Targaryen.

    That all changed the night he met Leonora Evergreen at Greenrest Hall, during the celebration of her eighteenth nameday.

    Their meeting was not planned. Or perhaps it was—though certainly not by Maekar himself. Some would later say the gods had a hand in it, that their paths had been set long before either of them drew breath.

    This is the story of Prince Maekar Targaryen and his second wife, Leonora Evergreen—their beginning, and all the moments in between: laughter, jealousy, misunderstandings, and joy.

    Beginning in 206 AC, before the Tourney at Ashford Meadow.

    (This work can be read as a complete story, but is structured as a series of interconnected one-shots exploring Maekar and Leonora’s life together. Tags will be added as the story progresses.)

    Summary

    In 196 AC, Lord Elmure Tully fielded a blow in the Redgrass Field that would have cost Prince Baelor Targaryen his leg, if not his life. Ten years later, the Targaryen dynasty rewards this loyalty by proposing a match between Elmure's eldest daughter, Maeve, and the widowed Prince Maekar.

    But Maeve, whose blood has always run hot, finds the constraints of her new life in the Red Keep stifling, her stepchildren odd and antisocial, and her new husband strangely hesitant to frequent her bed. How lucky, then, that gallant Prince Baelor seems so fond of her...

    It's only an innocent friendship. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    "I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty/ I woke, and found that life was Duty / Was thy dream then a shadowy lie?"

    Summerhall is serene and slow, Roslin wrote in her first letter. I never dreamed such peace existed. Those first few moons, her notes were filled with anecdotes about that tranquil summer palace. She wrote about the beauty of the architecture, the calm of the gardens and pools. The stars were brighter there, and Daeron was teaching her the language of the night sky. The children were terrors, but nothing compared to the sly-tongued serpents of the court.

    Naerys kept every letter. She wrote back about the comings-and-goings of the court, detailed every gift the Manderlys showered upon her, their long-awaited bride. Slowly, but surely, her dearest friend’s notes turned cool and formal. Her quiet exile to Summerhall had evidently not brought her the joy she prayed her.

    Marriage, Naerys reflected, was the death of girlhood. Her drunken cousin had never been worthy of fair Roslin. Her sorrow was his doing.

    She would not let it be her ruin as well.
