Rhaenyra has been very loving and supportive with Daemon and chose to marry him no matter what Viserys thinks about it. This is a huge deal that she did this.
I think you may just need to read Daemon and Egg's upcoming talk, their reunion with Rhaenyra. 🔥🖤🔥 Egg needs some major love and TLC.
We also need to remember that most of this is coming from Egg's dark and suicidal thoughts and Aly's skewed perception, and Daemon's own feelings of failure/guilt.
Egg is still thinking like a little boy, who lost too many family members, who's dad promised to come home and then he hears that he chose to die.
Alys, despite her age, powers, and connection with Aemond still does not know everything. She is blaming Daemon back then without even knowing him. And now she thinks he should go all berserk and slaughter the Greens. She also thinks that he hasn't done enough because he hasn't done things fast enough to suit her in this new timeline.
Daemon knows the suicidal feeling already from the Stepstones and he had lost a bunch of family and Viserys' love/acceptance. He can't fathom failing Rhaenyra, his family and their legacy, and not having Rhaenyra's love and trust to come home to. He understands even without living that life, how lost he would be without her. That would be totally new for him because he had always had her welcome him back. He is experiencing survivor's guilt in that other life as well as being devastated about losing Rhaenyra's trust.
Rhaenyra has not been blaming Daemon at all. She has been very supportive and working with Daemon to turn this very difficult political tide. 🖤💓🖤
Egg has only blamed him in brief moments because he is overwhelmed with the idea that his larger than life hero daddy can do anything, he thinks, and if he had been there he would have been able to save Rhaenyra when Egg was not able to, or so he believes.
Suicidal thoughts is a tag on this fic and the thoughts and feelings dealing with suicide are messy and complicated. People who have lost loved ones to suicide sometimes feel anger at the one who "chose" to die because they love and miss them so much and this makes them feel like they were "not enough" for the person to choose to live for.
We shall have to see how the rest of the story plays out and the resolution to Egg's pain.
I have faith in our dear author in spinning this beautiful web.
