Summary
This started as a reaction to the final episode (specifically Storm's End) but then it took on a life of its own. All because a certain Legolas-lookalike has me in an absolute chokehold.
There's already fics with reader being Rhaenyra's child, but here's my take on it. First couple of chapters are Aemond and reader as kiddies, but bear with me, hot Aemond makes an appearance ASAP.
***
While the Driftmark incident ruptured your friendship with Aemond, you find yourself facing him again at the petition for Luke's inheritance. And as war looms in the wake of Viserys' death, you are determined to prevent it in any way possible - possibly needing the help of a certain one-eyed prince to do so.
...IDK, summaries are not my thing.
A/N:
I altered the time jumps to age the characters up a bit because, I don’t like the idea of writing about minors doing nasty shit like war and smut. The 10-year time jump in HOTD is 13 years in this series, and the 6-year time jump is now 8 years. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.- Language:

Summary
A different take on the daughters of Daemon Targaryen:
What if Daemon had a daughter that he chose to abandon rather than love?
What would that look like?
Perhaps something like this:
After helping her foster-brother secure his inheritance as Warden of the North, Princess Visenya Targaryen, the daughter of the Rogue Prince and Lady Rhea Royce, leaves the North where she'd been cast away.
She has an inheritance of her own to claim.
And not the gods nor men were going to stop her.

the thing about dragons by KillerGirlFuria

Summary
Every morning Daelyra Targaryen wakes up and chooses violence. (Figuratively, at least.)
It might be because she’s Daemon Targaryen’s daughter. It might be because her soul is from another world. It might be because her dragon blood runs hotter than most, and that means more than she knew it could. It might be because the dragon that chose her is the most vicious of them all. It might be because she's a woman on a mission.
So many might-be’s, but one thing is certain: she wasn’t meant to exist, and the sole fact that she does was enough to knock the world off its axis.
Why not push the change further?
Or: Targaryens really aren’t human and expecting them to conform to human standards rarely ends well, and sometimes an unhinged woman with an unhinged dragon is all the world needs to prevent a disaster long in the making.
