🐉⚔️🌊 Daughter of Driftmark JV
🐉⚔️🌊 As the realm edges toward civil war, Princess Vysemera Velaryon-youngest child of Princess Rhaenyra and Ser Laenor-finds herself standing in the shadows of thrones and crowns. Overshadowed by her brother Jacaerys, the named heir of House Targaryen, Vysemera is underestimated by lords and ladies alike. Yet within the shifting tides of loyalty and betrayal, her voice becomes a weapon as sharp as any blade. From the gilded halls of King's Landing to the storm-lashed cliffs of Driftmark, Vysemera navigates a dangerous game of marriage pacts, whispered conspiracies, and dragonfire-fuelled ambition. Torn between her duty to Jacaerys and her own vision for their house's survival, she must decide whether to be a silent piece in her family's war-or the one who tips the board. "When thrones burn, even the smallest ember can ignite a war." 🐉👑🔥
Beneath the Throne| Baelon & Aemma
Baelon Targaryen was the elder twin of Prince Aegon and the firstborn son of King Viserys I Targaryen and Queen Alicent Hightower. Yet despite Baelon's seniority, Viserys remained steadfast in his decision to name his half-sister, Princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Iron Throne. The choice ignited whispers across the realm, sharpened by the scandalous rumors that swirled around Rhaenyra's closeness with her uncle, Daemon Targaryen. By then, Baelon and Aegon were little more than infants, too young to understand the storm brewing around their family. As he grew, Baelon became all too aware of the court's ceaseless speculation-particularly concerning Rhaenyra's children. Her firstborn daughter, Princess Aemma Velaryon, was born scarcely a year after her marriage to Laenor Velaryon. Some swore Aemma was Laenor's trueblood child, while others claimed she, like her younger siblings, was fathered by Ser Harwin Strong. Though Laenor acknowledged them all as his own, doubt clung to Aemma's parentage like smoke. Despite the enmity between their mothers, Aemma and Baelon forged an unshakable bond. Both Alicent and Rhaenyra warned their children to keep apart-whether out of political caution, mistrust, or the fear of scandal-but such commands only fueled their defiance. They slipped through the cracks of Red Keep vigilance, finding each other in shadowed corridors and moonlit chambers. Together they explored the streets of King's Landing, wandering far from watchful eyes into the bustling markets and even the notorious Street of Silk. By night, they crept into each other's rooms, whispering secrets until dawn. Their meetings were reckless, dangerous, and forbidden-but never once were they discovered. Within the heart of a family divided by crowns and claims, Baelon and Aemma carved out a secret world that belonged only to them....
The God of Death by Warlock7567
Balerion, the valyrian god of death, decides he will not allow the house of the dragon to end in such a distasteful manner after the death of Daenerys Stormborn and the exile of Jon Snow. He returns to where the downfall began in 105 AC, one week before Queen Aemma dies in childbirth, to change time itself. It is not a difficult task for a god. If he fails, he can just do it again. All credit goes to Warlock7567. This is their original story on AO3.

The Blue Princess ☆☽ Aemond Targaryen
"Blue flowers bloom in the garden, fragile petals in the breeze, A butterfly dances, unaware of the storm that's coming. Blood will spill in shadows, where laughter fades to cries, The butterfly's wings are clipped, as the blue flower dies."
