the greens au –

daenerys targaryen was the eldest daughter of aegon and helaena targaryen. she was given a red & black dragon egg that did not hatch on her birth, and after years, it was believed not to be viable. on her brothers' and uncles' deaths, daenerys was left as the only remaining heir to aegon targaryen's throne; knowing this, her father quickly arranged for daenerys to seek asylum in essos in effort to protect her if rhaenyra took the city. his plans, however, did not unfold fast enough, with the black queen and her dragons at the city's walls.

four knights were assigned to help the princess escape. they thought her mad when she insisted to visit the dragon pits before fleeing. fire burned all throughout the pits, but daenerys would not leave her egg for the blacks to find. two of her knights followed her into the dark – two waited for her return at the mouth, their loyalty faltering – and all the while they begged of her to turn back. one refused to follow her any deeper, the fires and heavy smoke making it difficult traverse the pits. three stones were all she could carry in her arms from the embers where they rested: one black, one green, one gold. the knight at her side reached for an egg to help with the burden, but quickly pulled back in agony. his palms were red, already sweltering in places with the shape of the egg's scales burned into his flesh. dany was unharmed, though. she clung to the eggs, veins of orange glowing through them, allowing her guard to lead her from the darkness to where the ship waited for her in the harbor.

it was there she realized, watching the red keep grow smaller and smaller, that her escape would not be the temporary measure her father so wanted, but an exile if the dance ended in favor of the blacks.

in exile, this verse mirrors daenerys' canon in game of thrones. she escapes to pentos, where she finds refuge in illyrio mopatis' home as the last of aegon targaryen's bloodline. open to plotting how daenerys rises to power. i can see illyrio deciding to sell her to drogo / someone else after realizing that having her in his home is too big of a threat to his safety due to king aegon iii's hired assassins, or perhaps with having more autonomy, daenerys consents to her own marriage arrangement to secure an army. really, anything goes! daenerys, much like viserys iii in game of thrones canon, feels like the throne was taken from her. she's angry for being forced to hide in essos. she wants revenge for the tragedies the befell her family at the hands of the blacks.

daenerys naming her dragon drogon is so funny to me but it's even funnier that I'm renaming him to draegon in my hotd greens au

HER POSITION AT CASTERLY ROCK was quite comfortable, but the dragon grew restless, as did her children. Never before had Daenerys been so close to taking back her father's stolen kingdom; she oft had dreamed of the keep's red doors as a girl, while narrowly escaping the usurper's hired knives. It was her home – it would be her salvation. The people of King's Landing will cheer when their rightful queen takes back her throne . . .

Lilac eyes narrowed on the lord of Lannister's approach, innocence in green eyes worn like a veil while sinister words slipped from his tongue like a well-practiced song. "If I were to burn King's Landing, naming even the common folk traitors, I might as well burn the whole of the Seven Kingdoms. Do they not too serve the fake king Aegon?" Daenerys hissed, eyes flickering to the golden star hung plainly against Loreon's chest. The same gods he worshipped had killed her father, her mother – taken her throne and forced her to run. 

The gods had no mercy, so she must.

"Had you not pledged yourself and your lands to him?" She asked, brows raising, allowing a beat of silence to hang heavily in the air. "It is repentance that pleases me, Lord Lannister. It will be their choice to live or to burn." @nothonors | continued.

also! as a quick addition to the vibes TM of this verse, when daenerys hatches her three dragons in essos, the rest of house targaryen's dragons are actively dying under aegon the dragonbane's reign. so daenerys' dragons are still ~the last dragons~ and are seen in a light of rebirth / revitalization of magic
