Meta asks 2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

Fandom-wise, the work I’m most excited to start writing is “Familiar Face”. I've shared this with just one person until now and it's feels nice to talk more about it 😁

Madeline Miller — 'It was my first lesson. Beneath the smooth, familiar face of things is another that waits to tear the world in two.'

It’s a Rhaenys lives AU in which she unlocks water magic during the Sack of King’s Landing. Later, she’s sent away to be raised outside Westeros. Jaime, Varys, Oberyn and Doran are the only ones who know that she’s alive and the later trio knows of her location.

The thing is: that island is home to followers of the Roynish Faith, Rhaenys - who doesn’t even go by that name anymore - is what they consider the key to fulfilling an ancient prophecy. However, her power never manifested again until later in life, but by doing that, a darker was also awakened and its magic took root in - literally - Rhaenys’ heart -. It’s pure death; as if to balance the water, which is associated with life in the story, magic. Also, that event causes Elia and Rhaegar to come back to life, but they’re nothing more than spirits when the story starts. One of the main hassles Rhaenys will have to deal with is: that the closer her parents get to reach a corporeal state, the weaker she grows.

Amidst trying to understanding her newfound powers and the truth surrounding her life, Rhaenys will sail to Westeros in order to - not that she likes it - forge an alliance with Robb Stark. Robert has just died and there’s a child on the throne she intends to make hers. And if I write more than that, I’ll completely spoil it haha. Thank you for sending the number ♡

It wasn’t the boys’s fault. They’d have been the last she’d have punished.

Corlys was another story.

He’d been idiotic enough to try and say she’d no place in the dragon pit. Injured or not she had a dragon to see to. Meleys was grumpy enough with the dragon keepers to set a fire. They’d barely talked the lot of them into returning after the “seeds” had showed up.

Rhaenyra was right; they needed dragon riders. The only hope they had was to overwhelm Aemond and Vaghar with numbers. Without the products of Rhaenyra's little plot the only dragons fit for a battle with riders were Caraxes and Syrax.

Meleys would take months yet to heal. . . as would she. Until her sweet girl could fly again they were both bound to the ground. . . to Corlys without an escape from his new pets. “New” the older one would have been of age with the twins, the younger one was. . . of an age with the last of his father’s voyages, and a rather lengthy stay in King’s Landing after Aemma had suffered a miscarriage.

But it seemed that couldn’t even be escaped in the dragon pit.

That boy had claimed her son’s dragon; a feat even Rhaena hadn’t managed. “Your brother didn’t try for a dragon then?” she asked dryly, side stepping Seasmoke’s tail where the creature was curled into Meleys’ side. At least some things never changed. The creature had followed Melly like a shadow since he’d been old enough to follow when she’d taken the twins on flights.

"devotion has never sat well with him" i adore rhaenys for the way she keeps kicking daemon while he's down like she truly will not let that man breathe for a second without reading him to filth and i love that for her

[goldensunflowe-r]

Rhaenyra spitting fire, angry that someone claimed Seasmoke: WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

Adam freaked out and confused: All I wanted was to go fishing.

Rip to the only reasonable Targaryen and her poor dragon

[robynnnn311]

these dragon scenes are hitting me worse than i expected them to the scene of sunfyre nuzzling aegon meleys and rhaenys hugging vhagar in the grass im so ill right now

[joycieillustrations]

Just doing a cheeky bit of investigating re. Rhaenys’ High Valyrian dialogue to Meleys because I couldn’t hear exactly what she said and:

“Vīlībāzmot arlī, riñalbus.”

‘riña’ (girl) + ‘-albar’ (augmentative, makes the noun more intense, e.g. super-, mega-, arch-) = ‘riñalbar’

Rhaenys really out here calling Meleys her big girl, her supergirl, her megagirl, her number one girly 😭

EVE BEST as  RHAENYS TARGARYEN  in 1.05 “We Light The Way”

[justanartsysideblog]

“Well met, Lord Stark,” the pitch of her voice was low and her words deliberate. “Welcome to King’s Landing.”

Am I back on my Rhaenys bullshit? Yes. Am I halfway through writing the first few chapters of A Whisper of Wolves? Also yes. Have some Rhaenys art as I chip away at writing.

[martellspear]

i don’t want any spoilers but how is Right Where You Left Me? i kinda wanna read it but that rhaegar lives tag is making me think there’s gonna be an angsty reunion between him + rhaenys and imma dread it

Rhaenys is left behind in king's landing as hostage and deals with the environment she was placed while coping with her mother's death and the fact that her family left her behind. That's the basis of the plot. I still have two chapters to go but I don't think a reunion like this is going to happen, Sunset writes Rhaenys' emotions very well and she sees Rhaegar as the man that abandoned her twice; tbh, I really love how she writes Rhaenys and I definitely recommend the fic, Rhaegar is not portrayed as a saint or anything like this

right where you left me by thesunsetstar on ao3

Used heavy ref of Nanna Blondell to doodle Laena; I havent drawn characters in days (only pudgy dragons lol) word vomit in tags

[bbygirl-aemond]

was a bit confused as to why houses bracken and blackwood got so much screen time at the beginning of this episode but the harrenhal scenes make it clear: they are being used as a stand-in for the two sides of house targaryen during the dance. they've hated each other for so long and were chomping at the bit to spill blood once more. when daemon asks why they hate each other, he gets only that "the answer to that is lost in time." as ser simon says: "sin begets sin begets sin." history does not truly remember nor care who started the feud between the two houses; just as history will not truly remember or care who started the dance of dragons. as rhaenys said, some will blame jaehaerys's death, some will blame luke's, some will blame the loss of aemond's eye, and none will care in the wake of the destruction that is wrought- not even the surviving members of house targaryen. at best, one side achieves a pyrrhic victory; at worst, the infighting never ceases.
