Summary
"The poor thing", they would often say. "A fourth child and a second daughter is cursed enough as is, but with no white hair?"
"Did you hear what His Grace had said the other day? Heard it from one of the maids. He couldn't even recognize his own daughter,"
"Gods be good, well, no wonder when ya got the little lass running around with that unruly brown hair like a commoner!"
"Shh! Not so loud! What if one of the King's guards hear you?"
"What? Isn't it true? At least the third princeling has some white tufts and those purple eyes, the lassie don't even got that for her favour, just plain and common like her mother,"
"Her mother is the Queen, in case you have forgotten,"
The milkmaid laughs cruelly, glancing down at the little Princess on her lap. "What's it matter to us? She and this little babe will never be important to the realm,"

Summary
'They do not see me for who I am,' she thought. 'Not yet. Perhaps that is a great blessing. When the Seven strike them down, no one will have expected dear Meek Aelys to have been bruising her knees, begging for it at the altar.'
Aelys clasped her hands over her chest, lowered her gaze in reverent imitation of piety, and whispered her prayers. The Seven-who-are-one would judge all things. She would endure. And in time, they would learn—too late—what she was capable of.
Princess Aelys was not born with wicked intent in her heart.
She was made so carefully, lovingly, and with great devotion.

Summary
He was her bloodiest birth—three nights of labour, a wellful of tears, and enough agony to frighten the king from attempting to put another babe in her belly. At least, for another four years.
Through that pain, I gave you life.
Perhaps, in the act, she had given him too much of herself. That was why her roots inside of him had festered. She had infected him with her rot.
Alicent realises too late that she bred her second son for war.

Summary
Following Princess Rhaenyra as one of her ladies-in-waiting, Arianne Swann was woefully unprepared upon arriving at the Red Keep.
No scroll or tome could have captured the astounding amount of gossip that thrived within the Targaryen court. For a mere lady like her, it felt as though she had made a catastrophic blunder before even having the chance to place her pieces on the board.
Yet, if she allowed her heart to guide her, especially toward the man it had chosen, Arianne believed she could endure anything and emerge triumphant. Prince Jacaerys Velaryon would one day be king, and though her father often said that hope was a fool’s errand, she dared to dream she might one day be his queen.
If only his boor of an uncle would stop tormenting her.

Summary
There are times when Aemond thinks he hates her, if only for the crime of reminding him about the chains of servitude shackled to his throat. Other times, he convinces himself that he feels nothing towards her at all. She is a stranger. A no one. A face without a soul. She is but another prisoner within these walls; a spoil of war, only one he never wished for.
He cannot condemn her for existing.
(He does. He does.)
Or, in which war puts them together, bound by duty and united in wrath.

Summary
When Daemon Targaryen claims his bastard daughter, Maelyra, born from a pirate captain he took for a lover in his time as King of the Narrow Sea, it’s not to raise her in court and gown her in dresses. That’s for his trueborn daughters, Baela and Rhaena. No, Lyra, the child of a fallen Tyroshi pirate captain, possesses too many skills Daemon can use in his strategies and plots, as he senses building strife between the courts of Queen Alicent and Princess Rhaenyra. He needs a spy, an assassin, and a dragonrider no one expects, so he brings his bastard into the household of Driftmark, disguised as nothing more than a foreign serving girl.
Lyra grows up between Driftmark, the Red Keep, and Dragonstone in the events leading up to the Dance, and as tensions rise, her loyalties are tested, especially when she finds herself caring for someone who may bring doom upon those she calls kin.
(Basically all of Rhaenyra and Daemon’s kids have a secret older sister who will smother them with eldest sister energy in all events leading up and into the Dance. Also slow burn friends-to-enemies-to-secret-third-thing between female OC/Aemond.)

Summary
At the edge of a lake where silence speaks,
There you will stand, with water at your feet,
The father’s voice, a command from the shore,
The lover’s, a cry from the depths below.For in this choice, there is no right, no wrong,
Only the bitter taste of sacrifice and the sharp sting of love.
The father will never forget,
And the lover may never forgive.
And you, oh you, will be torn between them,
The child of both, yet belonging to neither.Whichever path you take,
The lake will not forget your tears.
The waters will sing your song for all eternity—
Of love, of loss, of the price of the choices made.Aemond was far from happy. His journey, with his family, across the sea to Driftmark had been somber, and not just because of the sad occasion that had brought them to the Sea Snake's island. No, his true dread lay in the thought of seeing his nephews again, after everything that had transpired between them.
Little did he know that, on the island, he would meet someone who would change his life, for better or worse... that, time alone would reveal...

Aemond had told her once that they were one flesh split in two.
We had to be ripped apart to be born, he had said bitterly, as if such a thing had been the biggest loss in his brief life, some affront from the gods that Aelora had not yet understood. So if I stay by your side, then you must stay by mine.
or:
Aemond has a twin.

Summary
Helen, Helen, come home; there was a Helen before there was a War, but who remembers her?
In 112 AC, Queen Alicent gives birth to her youngest children, Daeron and Daella.
In 126 AC, Princess Daella is married off to Cregan Stark in an effort to win the North's support in the event of a war.
In 129 AC, Prince Aemond steals Daella Stark from Winterfell.
(A Targaryen prince. A Stark bride. Stop me if you've heard this one before.)
(Or: In another world, Alicent has a second daughter, and Aemond would burn down the world for her. Sometimes it is worse to be loved, than to be hated.)
(Or: "Is it truly me that you hate, sister?" Aemond asked softly, sweeping his thumb across her lower lip, gentle as a kiss. "Or do you hate yourself, for loving me still?")

Yet, as she prepares for the inevitable conflict between King Viserys' children, she begins to learns there is more to her unknown parentage than she could have ever imagined.

Aemond and his twin are reunited after her arranged marriage fails, and Aemond realizes his feelings for her are far more than brotherly. Unfortunately for him, now that she has her freedom, she never wants to be in a relationship again. But she's very physically affectionate-platonically-and it's driving Aemond out of his mind.
Meanwhile, their mother is keeping secrets, there are rumors of unrest in the Riverlands... and seriously, why does Helaena keep mentioning butterflies?Bookmarked by Babich
