Summary
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first child born after the death of Balerion the Black Dread, more dragon than girl in truth. Dragons, by nature, are possessive, protective creatures, and Rhaenyra knows that the Realm will not accept her simply because her father declared it to be, and she will not allow her children, even the ones not of her womb, to be harmed.
Her father delights in it. The Realm whisper about her kindness. Otto is his normal self. Gwayne's just along for the ride. Laenor is having a grand old time. Daemon, eventually, despairs because there are so many children. In the end, they'll all be grateful for it, because no brother, no son, would dare steal from the woman who raised him.

However, no one has ever been able to find out who the Realm's Delight really gave herself to that night.
----------
Years ago, fate, human guile, and mutual grievances seemed to separate Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and Ser Gwayne Hightower forever. And now circumstances have brought them back together. Will they be able to regain their lost feelings and each find their way in a time of war and strife?

Summary
Alicent and Rhaenyra had met as they had ended, because of their fathers, in a room that felt stiff and impersonal, wearing high-end dresses that somehow clawed at their skin, with revised and respectful words on their tongues—she held a polite smile while Rhaenyra held a true Targaryen scowl.
OR
This wouldn't end another way, not even in a modern world.

“The Hidden Lands — A Tale of the Seven Kingdoms.” by EXTRASUPERNOVA
Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), The Last Kingdom (TV)
23 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
In a land beyond the Seven Kingdoms—an independent realm, once called The Last Kingdom, steeped in ancient faiths and fragile politics. The echoes of war stir once more. Former comrades have gone their separate ways, each drawn by fate, duty, or secrets they cannot outrun. As crowns shift and alliances are forged in the shadows, unexpected paths cross between knights sworn to silent oaths, runaway royals, and exiled heirs.
In a world where old gods still whisper and dragons may yet rise, the price of peace is written in blood, and not all who serve, rule, or protect will survive the coming storm.
Not even when two reluctant kings, crowned against their will, are left haunted by the venom of their bloodline.

Two sisters. One crown. A realm destined to burn.
Born under the same stars but divided by fate, Rhaenyra and Rhaella Targaryen are twins bound by blood but torn apart by ambition. As whispers of betrayal and war ripple through the Seven Kingdoms, the bond between the blazing sun and the calculating moon fractures, threatening to plunge House Targaryen—and the realm—into chaos.

Summary
The fear of not being alone, of being watched, had begun as more of an instinctual thought than anything else, but for the past few months, he couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching him, not only at work but when he was on the bus, when he was walking home, even in his own house—the feeling lingering even after he shut every blind and locked every door.

Summary
Otto Hightower suggested to King Viserys I that he reconsider naming a male heir. With Aegon newly wed to Helaena, the Targaryen bloodline remained pure—stronger than ever. But the king, unconvinced, simply replied: “A tree that is born crooked never straightens its trunk.”
So Otto came up with another plan: send his grandson to spend a season in Oldtown, under the tutelage of his son, Ser Gwayne Hightower. Gwayne was doing a good job raising Daeron—disciplined, obedient, bright. Surely, he could fix Aegon too.
But Gwayne isn’t so sure. Upon reading his father’s letter, he wonders what the Seven have done to him, now forced to care for not one, but two Targaryen boys. He only hopes Daeron won’t be too excited to see his brother. If he is, Gwayne will have to endure endless chatter for a thousand moons.
Still, he believes he raised the younger prince well.
Hadn’t he?
Hadn’t he?...

Summary
"While dragon dreams affect only those with the blood of the dragon, the dreams that plague the disciples of the Church of Starry Wisdom are far more sinister, driving their dreamers almost mad in the process. Established by the Bloodstone Emperor, the first usurper and the last ruler of the mythic Great Empire of the Dawn, the church worships Nyarlathotep who is called "the Haunter of the Dark". Many scholars believed the Bloodstone Emperor to have been the first High Priest of the church, a practitioner of the dark arts, necromancy, and cannibalism. His descendants are said to be inheritors of his torment and treachery, bound to the very same deities he once enslaved himself to."
In which Naerys Targaryen, disputed bastard of King Viserys I, traitor wife to Gwayne Hightower, foresees the impending downfall of the Targaryen dynasty, and despite her desperate attempts, she finds herself powerless to prevent the destruction that looms over her family. Haunted by these inevitable visions, her plight underscores the tragic futility faced by those burdened with foreknowledge in a world where destiny cannot be altered.

Summary
At four years old, Joffrey Velaryon vanishes. His family is, of course, frantic, and returns to King's Landing as soon as possible. For six months, he is not found, and many presume him dead; all but his mother and brothers. Whilst in King's Landing, the bonds between the Greens and the Blacks both slowly repair and fracture.
At four years old, Joffrey Velaryon wakes up in a Westeros that is very different from the one he knows. A nineteen year old Queen, one who holds no Targaryen blood, sits unwillingly on the throne after fighting for her sister's right to rule - a sister who then fled to another country from her own seclusion in the Riverlands.
And in those eight months, the two bond, and now, at six years old, they're attempting to send him home. Only...they get the timing a little wrong.

Summary
After Jaehaerys Targaryen died, something in the White Worm shifted. She ran from Dragonstone with blood on her hands and fear at her heels, only to find herself caught by captors she never planned for. But what began as survival — desperate and bitter — changed somewhere between the cold stone walls and the quiet company of a Hightower knight. Mysaria never thought she'd find peace again, least of all here. And yet, in the spaces war left behind, she found something dangerously close to hope.

Summary
Born to Ser Otto Hightower and Princess Viserra Targaryen, Lyarra Hightower possessed both the cunning of Oldtown and the fire of Valyria. By fourteen, she sat in the Small Council, wielding influence beyond her years. At sixteen, she became Lady Confessor, unearthing treason and shaping law. A scholar of law, science, and medicine, she championed inheritance equality and governance reforms.
Three moons after Queen Aemma’s death, she wed King Viserys I, securing her dominance over court and kingdom. Her children, some rumored to be bastards of Arthur Dayne, Harwin Strong, or Aenar Targaryen, became central to succession strife. Her intellect and ambition eclipsed Rhaenyra Targaryen, ensuring her son Aegon’s coronation after a decisive victory in the Dance of the Dragons.
To some, she was a visionary ruler; to others, a usurper draped in silk. Yet none could deny—Lyarra Hightower reshaped Westeros with wisdom, steel, and fire.
