#my next AU is having daeron seduce his cousin to acquire an additional army for his brother

[lemonhemlock]

I have seen ppl speculate (mostly as a joke about Alicent "passing the gay gene" to one of her kids) that the showwriters could make Daeron gay when he shows up in S2. Are there any hints in the books that point to this being a possibility?? I know there was a different Daeron from another generation who fans believe was gay and had a knight as a lover but I don't remember which one. Also some ppl ship him with Addam (or was it Alyn??) because of that line from the book about Tessarion and Seasmoke doing a mating dance?

Basically, what are your thoughts on this? I think it'd be interesting for his character but it could go wrong if the writers fumble the bag.

Daeron is 14-16 during the Dance, so a little young for be having torrid love affairs. He doesn't really get a romantic plotline. I don't think him and Alyn could ever meet, since Alyn doesn't have a dragon and he's mainly on Driftmark-Dragonstone. You also wouldn't want Daeron to have a relationship with this guy; he's such an unnecessary movie sequel.

Daeron has already died by the time Tessarion and Seasmoke have their "mating dance", though I believe that to be more of a metaphor than anything else. I don't see how Daeron can be shipped with Addam when they don't even get the chance to interact. Tessarion is such a fucking queen though, my girl was loyal to the greens until the very end!! Even with Daeron dead she attacked the blacks & fought for the rightful king! V woke of her. Such an ally.

I'd be down with making Daeron gay, but, for the love of all things holy, let's not pair poor Daeron with black supporters. 😅 He doesn't even like the Two Betrayers. We're all watching an incest show anyway, his (2nd) cousin Lyonel Hightower is right there and age-appropriate. Let's steal him away from Lady Sam! 💅 That way we get another Hightower army for our Aegon!

PS. The Daeron you're talking about was the son of Aegon V (The Egg), the one betrothed to Lady Olenna, Margaery's grandmother.
