    Summary

    “Let me melt your wings, little dragon,” The Sea Snake’s voice whispered against his hair as his eyes slipped closed, the stars above Driftmark filling his vision behind his eyelids, “I’ll give you enough fire to light your way, to help me guide you, but this time you’ll belong to the sea.”

     

    Lucerys Velaryon dies above Storm's End, and the Dance begin and ends, setting into motion the downfall of House Targaryen. But the gods of Old Valyria have other plans for the rightful queens favored son.  

    (An astronomically slow burn Lucemond time travel fix it fic, because its almost thanksgiving and I want to indulge myself in some gratuitous Lucerys love, alright.)

    A useless plot device's guide to survive by

    Summary

    When 15-year-old avid gamer Luke Waters falls into the game realm of Zaldrīzes to prevent the Dance of Dragons from happening, his first reaction is:

    Are you shit*ing my d*ck?

    Until he realizes whose character design he's been assigned: Lucerys "Velaryon", bastard prince and the most unfortunate plot device to have ever plot device-ed, who is also the trigger point for the war and dies horribly in every ending of the game. Not just that, his overall character design, to be frank, is useless. The guy has no special talent for anything except for pissing certain people off and hiding cowardly behind his privilege.

    In fact, Luke isn't surprised that the first to get offed in the diplomatic phase of war via dragon 'chomp!' is a dude like Lucerys Velaryon.

    Summary

    Beware: Maegor with teats has begotten Aerion the Monstrous.

    Prince Aerion Targaryen once drank a cup of wildfire, convinced it would make him a dragon. It made him a corpse instead—briefly. Fate (or the gods, or some bored Valyrian demon with a taste for jokes) spits him back into the world generations earlier, reborn as the twin brother of Prince Jacerys Velaryon, son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

    He isn’t a dragon. Tragic.

    Still Aerion decides to do what he does best:

    Cause problems on purpose.

    Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.
