totally don't imagine little Aegon, maybe 7 or 8, playing with his toys while Sunfyre watched on, pouncing on castles carved from stone and gnaws on little wooden soldiers.

don't imagine him play-fighting with his boy. Aegon and his training sword fighting against the merciless beast that is his little golden fledgling, gently attacking playful claws and flapping wings and nipping beak, parrying when the dragon gets too close. or Sunfyre finally tackling his boy, mocking dragonfire when he screeches in his face, before nuzzling his boys cheek.

don't imagine them curling up in the sun, out in the grass or in a windowsill. Sunfyre spreading his wings over his boy to bask in the light, burying his face in the warmth of the crook of Aegon's neck.

don't imagine the hatchling perching on his bonded's shoulder. don't imagine Aegon sneaking to see him when he was sad or angry. don't imagine Sunfyre crying out in distress, restless in his den when he could feel Aegon's distress but could not get to him

don't imagine the fledgling finding his way to Aegon's window, sneaking in and curling up next to the boy as he laid drunk and miserable, coping as he wrapped around him. don't imagine him perching on the roof of Aegon's chambers, crying to him when he got too big to enter.

don't imagine his sweet little chirps and songs. don't imagine Aegon's little giggles and chuckles. don't imagine the nuzzling of white hair or the scratching. don't imagine them being happy

#they were both children once. innocent and and sweet. not yet tainted by the world around them.#and while Sunfyre held onto the light and kindness in him. a good and loyal dragon till the end of his days #the same cannot be said of Aegon #but at one point they were just a babe and a hatchling #they played with toy soldiers and cuddled with one another #they grew beside each other #Sunfyre was the light of Aegon's life and always had been #they had been *good*#||#Aegon's innocence and infancy is an aspect of him I find so interesting and I find its best explored through is dynamic with Sunfyre #Aegon was not always a monster. he was not always a cruel man who took what didn't belong to him. he was not always a sleezy drunk #and that line between good and bad. innocent and unforgivable. boy and monster #and its best explored via Sunfyre because Sunfyre never stopped loving him. he never stopped loving Sunfyre. their bond was never tainted-#by time or age like everything else in his life #you can truly see what Aegon once was vs what he became brought into clear contrast when you look at him snd Sunfyre #its so interesting and heartbreaking and makes Aegon's character hold so much weight #it makes the weight of what he became so much more discomforting and hurtful #aegon ii #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #aegon the elder #hotd aegon #sunfyre #Sunfyre hotd #hotd
