King Viserys Targaryen and Queen Aemma Arryn are expecting another child - possibly a new heir to the Iron Throne. After all, after the birth of two princesses, it must finally be time for a prince, right? On this occasion, a tournament is organized in King's Landing, which also attracts the king's brother - Daemon Targaryen to the capital. Unfortunately, the day of the tournament will set in motion a series of events that over the years will eventually lead to Dance of Dragons and something even worse, besides splitting House of the Dragon into three camps…

2. MASTERLIST Dawn of the North || Robb Stark (fanfiction)(Robb Stark x OC)

King Robert Baratheon wanted to get rid of every Targaryen. Apart from Daenerys and Viserys, he hadn’t dealt with the two remaining hidden in the shadows of the Crown. Amalthea has been living from day to day for three years, traveling with her companion throughout the lands of Westeros. Shortly after Joffrey Baratheon takes power, war breaks out, declared because of locking Ned Stark in the dungeons of the Red Keep and accusing him of treason. Amalthea finds herself in the middle of this conflict only because her heart beat faster for a handsome young man two years ago.

3. MASTERLIST Born in Flames || Game of Thrones (fanfiction)(OC x ?😏)

The young former Princess Visenya, and now Maegelle Targaryen, after the death of King Robert I Baratheon can finally come to King's Landing without fear of death at the hands of Robert, who has vowed to kill any Targaryen he can. Exactly, "any Targaryen he can"… He hasn't been able to touch Maegelle since Tywin Lannister took her to Casterly Rock and she was under his care for the next seventeen years, raised to be against her real family.

[thelustybraavosimaid]

The dark colour of the crown prince’s armour seemed to both absorb and reflect the sunlight.

Arthur stood in silence after Rhaegar marched up the winding stairs to reunite with the Lady Lyanna. Many minutes passed, and he sat waiting outside the tower with Ser Oswell, half-listening to the prince's muffled conversation while the other knight sharpened his sword in silence with a whetstone. Lord Commander Gerold practiced his swings with deadly grace, whirling and parrying imaginary foes.

The Dornish sun was treacherous. He wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, glancing down at milkglass-bladed Dawn resting in resplendence at his hip. A part of him wanted to use it, to cut down the Usurper and defend his prince to the death if needed, but Rhaegar forbade it, assigning him here.

He must see the plan through. He must.

Arthur tapped at his armoured leg with his fingertips, awaiting news of the war. Ravens came to the tower of joy oft enough, he supposed, but information of the usurper’s rebellion was not as detailed as the Dayne would have liked. Whatever knowledge came through, though, Rhaegar made sure that Lyanna knew much and more. He always made sure to ease any worry she had.

It had been longer than Arthur expected when he finally saw the familiar black armour and ruby-crusted dragon sigil pause in front of him. He craned his head, purple staring into an even darker shade, and saw the raw determination boiling underneath Rhaegar's gaze. He must have been half-weary, yet his outward disposition was so calm and composed. How much of it was a show?

“Have you heard more, my prince?” Arthur found himself asking.

“My cousin moves on us faster than expected. The time has come for me to meet him and put an end to this nonsense.” Arthur followed him to his black destrier, as dark as his own armour. Rhaegar stared at his helm tied to his horse’s side, running long fingertips over the red-painted dragon heads at the top.

“What would you have me do, Rhaegar?”

“I still need you, Ser Oswell, and Ser Gerold here, dear friend.” Those were not the words he truly wanted to hear, but he must obey the king. “I must go alone to meet our army. I need you to continue guarding Lyanna and the babe.”

“And what did she say?”

Rhaegar smiled. “Only that if I do not return, she would ride off herself and hunt for me.”

“A hard ride with a belly as large as hers, surely.” Ser Arthur had felt the babe himself, the strong kicks shifting her stomach, hitting his palms. She seemed as strong as ever, though, and he found himself growing accustomed to the fiery young she-wolf.

“It’s Lyanna,” the prince laughed, clasping Arthur on the back. “I must listen. If I don’t, I fear she really will do it.”

Arthur gave a bow. “Of course.”

In one swift movement, Rhaegar was atop his horse, donning his helm. Indigo rested on Arthur again as he rose his visor.

“Arthur, my friend,” his iron-toned voice was muffled only slightly, “the babe is close. Should I fail to return before he is born, head to King’s Landing with Lya. Bring her home to me.”

You will return here. Arthur decided not to tempt fate, and bowed again. “Your wish is my will, my prince.”

The corners of Rhaegar’s eyes crinkled before he stared forward and rode off, kicking up sand and dust in his wake.

Ser Arthur Dayne

"Sword of the Morning"

[rise-my-angel]

It's funny cuz like, dumber and dumber obviously gave Sir Arthur Dayne two swords in a classic "TwO SwoRDS wilL BE totaLLY Cool yoU GUYS". But i was there the entire time wanting to drill in their heads that "DUAL WEILDING ISN'T FUCKING POSSIBLE, IT'S AN IMPRACTICAL TECHNIQUE NO WONDER THAT GUY IS DEAD". Reed backstabbing him to save Ned was pretty cool though.

Like Ser Arthur Dayne was called the Sword of the Morning because he was deemed worthy a knight to wield House Dayne's ancestral greatsword, Dawn. A sword not many have been considered worthy of yielding. Its famously a greatsword which is the heaviest kind of sword and requires TWO HANDS.

So either dick and doodlehead think wielding two Greatswords is possible, or they just didn't know what Dawn was so they went "what if Dawn was 2 swords so he could carry both and be inefficient in a fight"

Howland Reed saving Ned Starks life was considered so note worthy because he killed Arthur Dayne one of the most skilled swordsman of the Seven Kingdoms. KINDA UNDERCUTS THAT MOMENT IF YOU MAKE HIM A DUMMY WHO USED TWO SWORDS BECAUSE YOU WANTED A FLASHY WEAPON PULL.

When in reality it's so much better then that as Arthur Dayne and Ned kick the fight off with the greatest exchange instead of a weapon flash.

Ned’s wraiths moved up beside him, with shadow swords in hand. They were seven against three.

“And now it begins,” said Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning. He unsheathed Dawn and held it with both hands. The blade was pale as milkglass, alive with light.

“No,” Ned said with sadness in his voice. “Now it ends.

As they came together in a rush of steel and shadow, he could hear Lyanna screaming. "Eddard," she called.

It's not flashy and cool its supposed to be emotional and weighting because of the context of this battle. But no, just...just give him two swords because bevis and butthead don't understand the concept of what a greatsword is or what undercutting emotional weight is.

They were too busy making Ser Arthur Dayne make a season 5 reference when it makes no sense instead of establishing him as a character who sore a sad smile at the approaching battle because he was a good, chilvarious knight fighting for the wrong side doing his duty.

It's fine though. He used two swords and won that fight and totally wasn't laughably insulted like 20 years later by Jaime Lannister for it.

I truly hate it when I want to read some fics about a character but you have already read all them but actually they are just 3 and you have searched every place for fics

[nageek42]

Something that I think get looks over with GRRM’s writing that really stands out to me on this reread is how things in his stories don’t ever really end. ASOIAF is set 15 years after a “revolution” of sorts, and while any story would have things to say about the ongoing consequences of that, these books a steeped in the personal stories of the people who went through it and it’s still causing pain and trauma so many years later. Ned’s regret for killing Arthur Dayne, Oberyn still wanting revenge for his sister, Jaime’s… well everything. It’s so refreshing to read a story where things*don’t* just go back to normal, or where people don’t just get over it.

So often in fantasy, traumatic or dramatic things happen and are met with an immediate response, only for it to not be that important after a relatively short timeframe. Luke telling Leia that Darth Vader is her dad is met with her going “oh hey, whacky” and not “oh fuck the guy who murdered an entire planet of people because I loved them and tortured me for weeks was my real father and “redeemed” himself to my brother and Luke’s fine with that?”

Idk. I just think it’s neat.

ONLY the current active fighters in canon guys, Arthur Dayne ain’t here because he’s been dead offscreen the entirety of canon, don’t count him as other please
