#harwin x rhaenyra

[fanfictionroxs]

The world calls you 'breakbones', but the first word your son thinks of to describe his father, is 'gentle'.

Harwin Strong the man that you are. Best father in Westeros!

I choose harwin strong

[annes-andromeda]

Don’t mind me, just thinking about how Alicent and Rhaenyra’s best relationships were with their sworn protectors/knights in shining armor (Criston/Harwin), and their worst/most abusive relationships were with Targ*ryen men (V*serys/Da*mon)

[13keithxpidge13]

I wanna write an AU where Rhaenyra chooses Harwin to marry and their marriage is solidified in the eyes of the Realm.

Immediately, Rhaenyra becomes pregnant. The couple are overjoyed and the kingdom celebrates, excited at the prospect of introducing a brand new prince or princess to the world.

When Prince Jacaerys Targaryen is born, Harwin is absolutely /flooded/ with joy and pride. Jace is his precious boy, his /beautiful/ firstborn son. He looks so much like himself but with Rhaenyra's violet eyes and her gorgeous smile. It doesn't matter to him that his hair isn't white (he doesn't care /what/ the Queen says). Jacaerys is his perfect, special boy.

Not even two years later, Rhaenyra is announced to be pregnant with their second babe. Her stomach doesn't grow nearly as large as it did when she was in her later months carrying Jace which did worry the Maesters just a tad but, Harwin wasn't concerned at all. Rhaenyra was strong, stronger than anyone he knew, if anyone could pull through-it would be his beautiful wife.

And, he was right. Eight months into her pregnancy, albeit a little early, Rhaenyra gave birth to their second son; Lucerys Targaryen. Harwin's precious, sweet little second son. Tinier than most babes he is but as strong as can be nonetheless. He looks like the spitting image of Rhaenyra. Bright violet doe eyes, a button nose with freckles caked across his cheeks, and a sparkling happy smile. When Rhaenyra first laid eyes on him, she sobbed with joy and whispered how he looked so much like her mother; the late Queen Aemma. King Viserys agreed, holding his second grandson and weeping whilst gazing at his sweet face.

It was at this time that the rest of Viserys's children had begun to become more curious about their older sister and their nephews. Prince Aegon often dragged the young Prince Aemond down to sneak into his and Rhaenyra's chambers to get a peek at the two young boys when Luke and Jace were playing.

Harwin wouldn't say anything against the young princes when they sneak in, when they think no one could see them. If anything, it warms his heart to know that, despite Queen Alicent and her bitterness against his wife and their children, her boys nonetheless attempt to be close to their nephews even when their mother argues against it.

Harwin watches, amused as Prince Aegon rushes over to Jace and immediately plops down next to him from where Harwin's eldest boy is playing with his youngest. The two sit on the floor surrounded by tiny dragon wooden cut out toys and Jace squeals as Prince Aegon takes one of the toys and starts playing. Little Luke kicks his tiny four month old feet out and giggles loudly, clapping his hands together.

Prince Aemond takes a little more coaxing but, eventually, they all are playing together on the floor with the sound of happy laughter and childish giggles ringing throughout the room like church bells.

It isn't too long before Rhaenyra returns, entering their chambers and the group of children all whirl to meet her.

"Oh my," She gasps, but she's smiling and little Luke squeals, babbling nonsense and reaching towards his mother. "It seems I have a group of little hatchlings nesting in here. What are you doing away from your mother at this hour, brothers?"

"Playing!" Prince Aegon shouts and stands up, smiling wide as he raises his arms. "Mother forgot to put Aemond down for a nap so I brought him here!"

At that, his wife's smile falters just a tad. It was not secret that Queen Alicent often...neglected her children, leaving them to the servants and wet nurses instead of spending time with them herself.

But, that didn't seem to bother the two young princes as they would often sneak away to come find their nephews anyway.

"All by yourselves?" Rhaenyra asks, concerned and that's when Harwin speaks up from where he was situated beside one of the desks inside their bedroom, hidden from sight but able to keep an eye on the group.

"Don't worry, princess," Harwin spoke up and all heads turned to him. "I've been watching them."

Rhaenyra sighs with relief and stalks towards little Luke who was practically crawling over to her at this point, desperate to get to his mommy. He had always been more attached to her than Harwin but, Harwin supposed he didn't blame his son. He was quite attached to her too.

"Hello, little love," She whispers to her second son as she picks him up and cradles Luke against her chest. He coos and babbles, clutching onto her hair and nuzzling against her. "Yes, hello, my sweet boy. I've missed you too."

"Can we stay, sister? Please, please?" Prince Aegon begs, bouncing on his tip toes as he grabs at her black dress. His eldest sister chuckles and she gently runs a hand through his wavy white hair and he leans into it.

"Ah, well," She sighs in a teasing manner. "I /suppose/ you could stay for a bit while longer."

Prince Aegon and Prince Aemond cheer and Jace and Luke follow along, all of their giggles resounding and joining together.

Harwin and Rhaenyra smile at each other and he walks over to kiss his wife, his girl humming against his lips and he then plants another kiss upon her head and one on little Luke's.

It won't be for some time that they have another babe, many years but, Harwin cherishes each and every moment he has with his family. His perfect family.

I care for you still and I will forever; that was my part of the deal.

[lilacandgoooseberries]

in which rhaenyra mentions that she feels perpetually dishevelled as the mother of three and harwin assures he absolutely loves it

Fic Author Self Rec

Thank you so much @alexagirlie for the tag!!

When you get this, reply with your favourite 5 fics you've written, then pass it on to at least 5 other writers.

I'm not sure if I even have five fandom fics posted 😂 So we'll see how this goes! In no particular order..

1 All of our Book's Pages Dog Eared (Equestrian!Jace x Farrier!Cregan, House of the Dragon)

Inspired by a friend's incredible fic that got me into Jacegan as a ship, a british take on hotd horsefic. My longest multi-chapter for a fandom, I'm so proud of it. Farrier!Cregan takes a temp job at the Red Keep working for world famous dressage rider Rhaenyra Targaryen. Gets more than he bargained for in the form of her eldest son...

2 Shield that Guards the Realms of Men (Gen - for now. Harwin Lives, House of the Dragon)

This was wholly inspired by the hotd season 2 trailer seeing jace and cregan at the wall, and ended up making me expand a little personal drabble about Harwin being sent to the wall rather than dying at Harrenhal. When Jace visits the wall with Lord Cregan Stark to gain favour for his mother's war, there's a familiar face waiting for him in the Lord Commander. (Planning a Chapter 2 with some Jacegan but i've not managed to get around to it yet)

3 The Princess, The Queen and the Prince Consort (Canon Divergent!Harwin x Rhaenyra, House of the Dragon, Episode rewrite)

A rewrite of that scene in 1x06, where Harwin gets to punch Crispy. Rewritten based off of a roleplay over on @scripturient-roleplay. What if Harwin and Rhaenyra had been able to marry, and he survived into the dance?

4 To The Sea We Shall Return (Canon Divergent!Harwin x Rhaenyra, House of the Dragon, Episode rewrite)

Another episode rewrite, this time 1x07, the funeral on driftmark and Aemond losing an eye. We see things go down from Harwin's POV. I had a lot of fun with this one! Again, based off of a roleplay over on @scripturient-roleplay. Rhaewin living their best lives.

I don't have anything else published, but honourable mention to the Rhaewin F1!AU that I posted here just for fun that's since become over 100 pages of google docs rambling.

As for people to tag... Idk if I know 5 writers here 😂

@cordeliacordate @archaiccotton @heliophytes @rentekren

Apologies if I've double tagged anyone! I could only think of four but I only tagged four fics 😂 ofc participation is totally optional, and if you see this and wanna do it but I've not tagged you, go for it! Just tag me, I wanna see everyone's stuff!

[pureworlds]

currently reflecting on the missed opportunity to observe the growth of harwin's bond with his sons is especially heart-wrenching, particularly in light of lucerys' death. i cannot wait to see the emotions that rhaenyra will invoke this coming season.

[racingcore]

this for real. his devotion was so 🥺 [x]

[fanfictionroxs]

Rahewinicent poly thoughts in my head 24/7 folks with Rhaenyra and Alicent being romantic, Rahenyra and Harwin being romantic, and Alicent and Harwin bing platonic because Alicent is a lesbian while Rhaewin are bi4bi and both my precious girls deserve this Strong brother and not the rapey one. Harwin and Rahenyra have Jace, Luke and Joffrey while Rhaenyra gets Alicent pregnant with the power of lesbian dragonism or something and Harwin gets to be a dad to all 7 of their kids who follow behind him in a line like ducklings following their mama duck. Alicent does always say that Harwin is a better mom than she is and then will drag Nyra away for dates leaving him to try and control their 7 kids with 7 dragons gods help him (Harwin loves it so much, he just knows he was born to be a dad ALSO he is living his best girl-dad life through Helaena <3).

PS Alicent and Harwin bonding over being terrified of dragons and puking all over the floors after flights while Rhaenyra holds their curly hair up and wonders how the fuck her dragon ass managed to fall for, not ONE, but TWO people who hate flying.

HARWIN & RHAENYRA ▸ House of the Dragon, 1.6

[my--strange--world--sg]

I don't even ship Alicent with Rhaenyra, I'm more of a Laenyra fan and I hate that they won't remove the polyamorous relationship of Rhaenyra, Daemon and Laena (And maybe Harwin, hehe), that is to say, Laena deserves my love more than the green stepmother, but the moment I saw the trailer I even screamed when Aemond said that; maybe I got used to it; I just pray that if they gave Rhaicent, also give us Jacegan, I think this is much more canon than them.

S.G.

[dragon-queensguard]

The fact that criston’s sense of honor and preservation thereof hinges on rhaenyra making sacrifices for him and Harwin’s is about him making sacrifices for rhaenyra and their kids

[13keithxpidge13]

Back to my AU where Rhaenyra marries Harwin and he watches over his babies whenever Rhaenyra has to go off for her Queenly duties.

Lucerys Targaryen is only a few months old, can't be left alone for long so Harwin tends to him when Rhaenyra is not around. But, lately, Prince Aemond has been sneaking into the newborns chambers and Harwin will watch as he stands on his tippy toes to stare at his newborn son as he sleeps the afternoon away while the rest of the world is awake and abuzz with life outside those double doors.

Prince Aemond, only a year and a few moons old, likes to babble in his own baby language to little Luke who can't understand a word he's saying but flails his tiny arms and kicks his legs around as though he does.

Jacaerys will whine and kick when he catches his uncle inside Luke's room. Harwin scolds him one day and asks him why he doesn't want his uncle Aemond to visit his younger brother and Jacaerys replies with a loud; "'Cause he wan' to steal him!"

Harwin thinks he's overreacting like an elder brother would until he finds Prince Aemond barely holding Luke up in his arms as he walks down the hall while little Luke is wrapped in a blue blanket, his tiny legs wobbling with every step as Harwin almost falls over with how hard he's roaring with his laughter.

"My prince," Harwin chuckles as he picks the two up and Prince Aemond screeches like a little angry dragon when Harwin's son is taken from his arms. "Luke needs to stay in his crib, yes? You wouldn't want your nephew to get hurt, now would you?"

It takes some coercing but Prince Aemond finally permits Harwin to return Luke to his tiny crib and he settles his teeny son back onto his bed as he holds onto his sky blue blankie.

Harwin smiles as he looks down and catches Prince Aemond still staring at little Luke and his son smiles as he catches his uncle's gaze.

"Do you love Luke, Prince Aemond?" Harwin asks.

"Yes!" Prince Aemond immediately gasps out, not even turning away to look at him as he answers, his gaze solely focused on Luke. "I wuv Luke." Harwin chuckles and pats his head.

"I'm glad, Luke loves you too, Prince Aemond," Harwin tells him and Prince Aemond glows so brightly one might think he was trying to imitate the sun. "You know, I think you are Luke's /favorite/ uncle."

Prince Aemond gasps so loudly and slaps his hands over his mouth dramatically before he falls on his butt in complete shock. Then, he slowly turns up to look at Harwin with wide eyes. "...favorite?"

"Yes!" Harwin laughs. "You are Luke's favorite, Prince Aemond."

"Favorite," Prince Aemond repeats and slowly looks over back at Luke and grins. "Favorite. Yes, I'm Luke's favorite! Like you are big sister's favorite!"

Harwin nods, thinking nothing of it. "Exactly, Princess Rhaenyra is my favorite as well."

Prince Aemond claps his hands and laughs like he just discovered something incredible. "Favorite! If I'm Luke's favorite, that means that we are gon' get mawwied!"

Harwin nods again. "Yes! That's exactly-"

And then he stops.

"Wait," He blinks. "Married?"

"Yes! Yes!" Prince Aemond shoots up and grips the bars to Luke's crib before bouncing on his feet. "Mawwied! Luke and I shall be mawwied when we older!"

Harwin is too stunned to stop Prince Aemond from rushing out of the room to inform a Septa of him and his son's future marriage, already planning out where they'll be wed (on Dragonstone, he finds out later) and what Luke will wear (a pretty green emerald dress like the Queen dresses in) and what will be served during the celebratory dinner (lemon cakes, as is little Luke's favorite dessert).
