Summary
Twelve years after the fall of Voldemort, Estelle Ophelia Black returns to Hogwarts. Not as a student, not as the girl who once carved runes into windowsills or stole apples from the kitchens with the Marauders—but as a professor. As a survivor.
Twin sister of Sirius Black, former Slytherin tangled in Gryffindor friendships, a girl caught between legacy and rebellion, and still haunted by the scent of firewhisky and ash.
In a castle full of ghosts, she finds herself again facing dangerous truths and the long shadows of war. Remus Lupin is still kind beneath his quiet, Severus Snape is still sharp behind his scowl, and the past—well, it never really left.
This is not just a return. It’s a reckoning.
Essence of Dittany is a slow-burn, emotionally layered canon-divergent epic that weaves through the aftermath of grief, the ache of forbidden love, and the cost of surviving. For those who loved the Marauders, who mourned what the war stole, and who always wondered what it might take to come home again.
This one’s for you.
And for her.

Summary
What if Aemond Targaryen survived God's Eye, got a chance to become an adult and learn from his past? Who would he become?
A story about redemption, coming of age, complicated love, and the price of war.
*Bit of a warning: this story was written by a psychoanalytical theory student. It treads adult themes and murky emotional waters as it progresses. It frustrates at times. It's not a SI-friendly story. You might rage. You might cry. You've been warned.

Compromise and Being Compromised by PresidentHades

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Targaryen prince in possession of a large ego must be in want of:
✔ A strong grasp of history and philosophy
✔ Mastery of the blade
✔ The largest dragon in the world
✘ Some goddamn respect from his family
✘ A Velaryon bride who happens to be the heir to Driftmark (optional, but not really).Or: Lucera is a second daughter who is never good enough, and Aemond is a second son who is never satisfied. It takes a lost eye, at least one failed marriage proposal, and years of heartache before they both finally learn to compromise.

Summary
Princess Aemma Velaryon, the only trueborn daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon, is bound by fire and sea.
As a child, she shared a quiet bond with Prince Aemond Targaryen—until the night he lost his eye at Driftmark by her brother’s hand, shattering their connection.Years later, with the realm on the brink of war, Aemma returns to court—loyal to her mother’s claim, but yearning for peace.
When fate reunites her with Aemond, now a man scarred in body and soul, buried feelings resurface: dangerous, forbidden, and unresolved.
Caught between duty and desire, Aemma walks a fragile line, knowing one wrong step could cost her everything.
Born to mend what war would break, she seeks peace—but if she must, she will choose fire… even if it burns her.Bookmarked by ShadowRose0613

Summary
He wants the Iron Throne. She wants her revenge. The Seven Kingdoms are at war, with Aemond's self-righteous half-brother, Rhaenyr, claiming that their father's last request was that he be legitimized. He and his following have claimed Dragonstone and dragons they were never meant to have. Aegon II sits the throne in King's Landing, and Aemond waits patiently to take it from him. The unexpected arrival of the Seven Kingdoms' most eccentric and dangerous noblewoman throws his plan into chaos. Lady Cassandra is everything he wishes he could be, fearless and charming without trying. She's arrived back in her favorite city for one purpose: kill the man who ordered the death of her family. When Aegon attempts to pursue her, she presents Aemond with a solution: an improvement on his reputation, to bolster his claim when he finally deals with Aegon, and a temporary reprieve from the king's attention for her, so she can get on with the business of slashing treacherous throats. Not to mention, he gets to embarrass his brother, and she gets to know all the secrets locked away in Red Keep towers. They only have to pretend to like each other for a few months, which shouldn't be a problem at all. Right?
