Yandere!Aemond. Major Stalking! You’ve Been Warned!

DD:DNE

Aemond considered Y/n to be a miracle from the day he met her.

It was the first day of Pre-School and he wanted to be anywhere but there, surrounded by other students. He wanted to be at home with his mother, or even his big brother, anyone just to get away from the staring children.

Aemond had learned almost as soon as his cousin had sliced his face open that while adults would stare, they would at least be discreet about it, children were not. Aemond, while being a child, didn’t consider himself one, and it was something most adults found amusing as he would much rather spend time with his mother or the adults in his family than with his siblings or cousins. He would rather read than play with toys, rather watch movies his mother liked than ones his siblings enjoyed, it’s just the way Aemond had always been…until her.

All of the children stared at him from the moment he walked in and said “goodbye” to his mother. The staff tried to direct the children away, told them it was rude to stare, but they weren’t always paying attention and trying to get a bunch of 4 year olds attention when they’re locked onto something is…difficult at best. Around lunch time the staff had left all but one in the room to prepare food for the kids and suddenly Aemond found a boy much larger than him to be holding his eyepatch in his hand, the children around him laughing and teasing immediately. The teacher was on the other side of the room and oblivious as Aemond tried to grab his eyepatch back, the other boy shoving him to the ground before he was suddenly laying right beside Aemond holding his crotch and wailing in pain. A blonde girl that Aemond could only describe as beautiful was standing above him with an angry look on her face.

‘What did he ever do to you?! Huh?! Leave Him Alone!’ She snatched the eyepatch from the portly child’s hand and moved to hand it back to Aemond who strapped it back on immediately. ‘Are you okay?’ Aemond nodded quickly, opening his mouth to speak but finding no words that would come out. ‘I’m Y/n, you’re Aemond, right?’ He nodded again, mouth hanging open dumbly and looking like an idiot he is sure. ‘I’m sorry he did that, No one should be mean like that for something you can’t help and you don’t have to tell no one nothing…I’m sorry, you want to be alone.’ She turned to walk away when he finally got his voice box to work…sadly it had been muted so long that the sound he finally made was a bit too loud.

‘NO!’ He exclaimed and she jumped, turning back to him instantly. ‘I’m sorry…I mean, no, I don’t want to be alone…it’s nice to meet you Y/n…do you want to sit with me for lunch?’ She smiled, a red tint to her cheeks and Aemond decided he absolutely adored her pretty smile.

‘Yeah…that sounds fun.’ She grabbed ahold of his hand and pulled him over to a table, handing him a place mat and some crayons to decorate it with. Coloring was never something Aemond had really enjoyed, Art wasn’t his thing, but if Y/n enjoyed it then so did he.

Aemond and Y/n spent the rest of the day together before pick-up and as soon as he said “good-bye”, leaving with his mothers driver and climbed into the car beside his mom, he was talking about her. Alicent was thrilled that her son had made a friend his own age, while it’s entertaining to see her 4 year old boy so grown-up and mature, she didn’t want him to miss out on being a child just because he didn’t have any friends.

At the end of the week, after learning that Aemond and Y/n’s friendship wasn’t going anywhere, Alicent stood outside to pick her son up rather than wait in the car for their driver to get him. She watched her son run outside, hand in hand with a girl a bit shorter than him and they looked truly adorable. ‘Mom!’ Her son exclaimed, excited to see her waiting for him herself and deciding she should do this more often to see that smile so rare on her baby’s face.

‘Hello, my sweet Little Dragon! How was your day?’ She asked, watching the girl run to a women a few feet away and take her hand.

‘It was so good! Y/n and I made pictures of our families for the wall-wait! You need to meet her! Y/n!’ Aemond exclaimed, the girl stopping and her mother looking back as well, slightly irritated. ‘Mom, this is Y/n, she’s my best friend!’ He grinned and so did Y/n who hugged him at that deceleration.

‘Well, if she’s your best friend then you must have her over for a play date. Would that be alright?’ She asked the girls mom.

‘Oh, yes, of course. Anytime.’ She spoke, writing down her number on a piece of paper. ‘I’m Marie, it’s nice to meet you, Y/n talks about your boy all the time.’

‘Mom!’ The girl whined, the mothers sharing a side smile at their kids evident first crush on each other.

‘It’s lovely to meet you, I’m Alicent. How about tomorrow? She can come by and spend the day with us, I’ll drop her at home after dinner?’ Her mom looked surprised.

‘That’s perfect actually, I have work all day. Text me your address and what time to drop her off, she will love spending the day with Aemond rather than the neighbor. I’m sorry to say I’m in a rush to get back to work, it was nice meeting you Alicent, and you too Aemond. Come on Y/n, let go.’

‘Bye Aemond!’ Y/n waved, her mother dragging her off. She didn’t strike Alicent as rude, just in a bit of a hurry. You could clearly see the difference in their status in life, if not just from the fact that Y/n’s mother was wearing a waitress uniform and Alicent was wearing a Versace dress and Gucci shoes. She finds herself wondering how the women pays for the fancy daycare at all.

Alicent had married rich, Viserys happy to give her anything she wants as long as she doesn’t bother him at work, and he’s always at work. When he’s not however he is spending time with his daughter from his first marriage, Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra is 24 now, Viserys being significantly older than Alicent but she didn’t mind, he was a good, gentle man and that was hard to come by now a days. She had 2 sons, Jace who was 5 and Luke who was 3 (a child she detested for being the one who had sliced her baby’s face open 6 months before as he ran around the mansion with an old dagger from Viserys’ office and didn’t pay attention to her son sitting on the ground), though Rhaenyra was also pregnant with another child, none of which are her husbands clearly but that’s not her business… Alicent has 3 children of her own, Aegon who was 7, Helaena who was 5 and Aemond who had just turned 4, though she also suspected she was carrying a child that she hoped was a girl if not just to keep another boy from the chaos and bullying that goes on between the siblings and cousins.

‘Y/n is gonna spend the whole day with me?!’ Aemond suddenly exclaimed, knocking his mother from her thoughts.

‘Yes, she is. You’ll need to plan what you two want to do for the day and I’ll make sure Aegon doesn’t disturb you.’

‘Jace and Luke either?’ He asked…begged is more like.

‘Jace and Luke either, I’ll make sure they have something to do when they come tomorrow.’ The family always came to the house on the weekends as Viserys took that time for his family…part of it anyway.

‘Yay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!’ Alicent was thrilled to see her son so happy…she had no idea it would be so incredibly short lived.

Y/n had begun spending the day with Aemond every day, coming to their house in their car after school, her mother coming to get her after work to take her home looking more tired than the night before. Alicent had tried to help the poor women. It turns out her husband had cheated on her while she was pregnant and gotten another women pregnant, divorcing her for his mistress and son. He’s the one who paid for the fancy preschool while her mother worked 3 jobs to keep everything afloat in their one bedroom apartment, since he paid for such a nice school he only paid 200 in child support leaving Marie with everything else and all the debt he had left behind in her name.

Alicent was happy to watch Y/n whenever she needed, it made her son happy and that’s all she wanted in the world. She had been so scared for him before he met Y/n that he would end up going down a dark path, the bullying at home and at school having been hard for him as well as his father clearly loving the child who had butchered him more than his own son.

That all came to a grinding halt however when Y/n’s mom was evicted from her apartment leaving them homeless, forcing them to move in with Marie’s ex-mother in-law who lived in New York. Aemond had tried to promise to visit every weekend before Alicent was forced to explain just how far away New York was from California, to say the children were upset was a huge understatement. The teary good-bye nearly broke the mothers hearts as they swore to write to each other every day, and they did, they both learned to write faster than any of the kids their age just to write to each other and it lasted about a year. Y/n’s grandmother had found out she was writing to a boy in California and cut it off, threatening to take Y/n away from her mother if her mother didn’t stop the interaction. Marie wrote Alicent and explained what had happened leaving her to break her baby’s heart all over again.

Aemond became cold after that. He had no more friends, detested his cousins, tolerated his brothers and only loved Helaena though she was with friends everyday of her life. He took his schooling very seriously, taking several extra curricular’s on the side to take up his time which consisted of Jiu-Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, and oddly enough, sword fighting which Alicent didn’t support right away until he promised to start with fencing. It turned out that he was really good at it and his father hired a trainer, Criston Cole, to teach him sword fighting, paying to transform a room in the mansion into a training room.

Once Aemond got to middle school, no one was bullying him anymore after breaking 3 kids noses and 2 of their arms. When he turned 14 and moved up to high school he had finally broken down and created an Instagram account. Aemond hated social media, he found it annoying and pointless, but he quickly found a use for it once he looked up Y/n and found her account. It wasn’t private, making it easy to look through all of her pictures, finding out that she still lived in New York with just her Grandmother now as her mother had passed away in a hit and run with a drunk driver when she was 9. She had many pictures with her and another girl who seemed to be her best and only friend and nowhere could Aemond find anything about a boyfriend which gave him an instant sense of relief. He had spent the last almost 10 years obsessing over her, though he kept it to himself. He had sent her a letter a few years before, hoping that maybe now that they had grown a bit she would be able to write him back but it was returned unopened with a note that told him to never send anything again or her grandmother would file a restraining order.

For the next 2 years he was as content as he could be watching her life through social media, until their junior year that is when he decided to pay a man to hack into her computer, actually watching what he did and figuring out how to go about doing it himself. He read all of her emails from then on, finding out what colleges she was applying to and applying himself, knowing he would obviously get in with his incredible grades and extra curricular’s. Her grandmother was forcing her to go to college, wanting her to be a physical therapist despite the fact that she wanted to be an artist. Aemond had found she had a separate, secret Instagram account that her grandmother didn’t know about that held all of her paintings and sketches, and she was honestly incredible.

Aemond had decided that when she was his she would drop out of college and move in with him, she would have her own little art studio to do whatever she wanted in. He would buy her anything she wanted, give her everything in the world if she only asked for it, Y/n Y/L/n was going to be his wife…whether she knew it yet or not.

At 18, Aemond moved out to New York for the year, deciding not to go to college but convincing his father to open a branch of his publishing business out there and let him set everything up for him. It wouldn’t be hard, honestly Aemond would pay others to do everything and just oversee the company while he watched over his Princess. He had already been stalking her online for over 4 years and in her own computer for 2, this was hardly a step up.

Alicent knew of course, she knew that her son had become more than a little obsessed with his childhood friend and she knew that that’s why her boy was going to New York, she had been the one to talk her husband into letting him go. She wanted him to be happy, by any means necessary after all this time of misery and if he needed Y/n to make that happen then she was more than happy to welcome the sweet girl into the family. Even if she knew what her son was doing was wrong, she couldn’t change his mind, and she didn’t want to. Alicent loved Y/n and she knew that if there was one person in the world that her son would never hurt, it was her.

He watched from across the Quad as she arrived at the school, unpacking her things from the car and moving it all into her dorm room, a room which Aemond had made sure was a single for only her, he also made sure he had acquired a key for himself. He felt horrible that he couldn’t help her move things, especially the heavy things, but he knew there was no way she wouldn’t recognize him, and she clearly remembered him. She had several old pictures uploaded to her Instagram of the two of them together, one of them at a Carnival with their faces painted (which she had made him do, even forcing the painter to paint over the eyepatch since it would wash off), one of them carving pumpkins on Halloween, and Aemond’s personal favorite, a picture of the two of them snuggled up in his bed as she had slept over the night before, she was snuggled into his chest with his arms around her and his face in her hair which covered the scar completely. He knew she had plenty of pictures of the two of them without his eye patch on but she never put them online and he loved her for that, even if she didn’t know it yet. Next to his mother, she was the only person who really understood how sensitive he was about his scar and she never made him feel less than because of it, he knew she would never betray him, not even having shown her mother the pictures without the eyepatch.

He followed her to all of her classes, often watching them through the security cameras he had hacked into (becoming quite good at it) to see her during class, he had always loved her look of concentration as her eyes narrowed and she looked like she was scowling at you, she was adorable. He had placed several cameras in her room as well, watching her whenever he could, all she really did was school work and he realized how overwhelmed she was by college life, school was never her environment, it was too stressful for her and her free spirited mind and he knew it. He also knew that her Grandmother had threatened to kick her out onto the streets if she didn’t go to college for what she told her to, he had plans for that women, she will get what she deserves.

On several occasions he was witness to moments that he knew should be private, whether that be her stressed out crying or more…intimate moments. He couldn’t help but watch as her fingers touched her pretty little pussy, rubbing her clit and listening to the sweet sounds she made trying to be quiet, he couldn’t help but wrap his fingers around his length and edge himself right along with her, imagining those fingers in her cunt were his cock, desperate to feel her soft, warm pussy squeezing him as tight as it could as he made her cum again and again until she couldn’t take it anymore. He had fantasized about making her cum on his cock since he was 13 years old and by now he was more than desperate for her.

There were a few nights he actually snuck into the dorms and into her room, watching her sleep up close, trailing his fingers down her body, hating that he can’t just crawl into the bed beside her and hold her tight while he shoves his cock into her and makes her fall asleep with it as deep as it can get.

2 months he watched her before knowing he needed to make her his now, before it was too late. She had been asked out on a date by a Frat guy, begging to take her to a party and Aemond knew he couldn’t allow this.

The Frat boy got a visit from him later that night, waking up to Aemond sitting on the edge of his bed and realizing he had been tied down so tight that the ropes were cutting off circulation to his hands and feet. ‘Hello Chad, so sorry to wake you but this is a very important matter you see. Scream, and I will bash your brains in before anyone can even find out the door is locked, got it?’ He nodded quickly, terror in his eyes and Aemond found that he loved it, he loved scaring people that would hurt his Princess, she doesn’t deserve the kind of treatment this idiot would give her and Aemond knew that party wasn’t anything more than to make fun of his girl. The Frat assholes all getting a freshman girl to come to the ‘party’ and whichever guy could get their girl to put out first won some bullshit prize.

No. His Princess would not be humiliated like that.

‘You see Chad, you are bringing a girl back here tomorrow night, her name is Y/n, yes?’ He nodded again.

‘I didn’t know she was your girl, she didn’t say anything like that! I would never-‘

‘Yes you would, don’t lie to me Chad, boyfriend or not you would happily have brought her back here and made her a part of your little game.’ His eyes widened, unsure how Aemond could possibly know about that. ‘You’re not going to pick her up tomorrow Chad, do you understand? I will not have my Princess hurt and humiliated by an idiotic asshole who realistically couldn’t make a girl smile let alone cum. Now, this is just a warning of course, if I find out you went anywhere near her after our little conversation here, I would have to do something far worse than break into your disgusting Frat house and break your eye socket, do you get me?’

‘Yes! Yes, I-wait…break my wha-‘ quickly Aemond brought the bat he had picked up from the floor, down against the jackasses face, shoving the edge of his blanket into his mouth as he went to scream.

‘Secretly, I hope you do try something just so I get to have an excuse to come back here and break every one of your ribs before I ensure no women will ever say yes to a date with you again.’ He flicked open a blade, holding it against Chads face and hearing him whimper like a bitch. ‘It’s okay Chad, I’m not going to hurt you as long as you do what I’ve said here tonight. Are we on the same page?’ He nodded quickly and Aemond stood, walking out of the room and leaving the house, deciding on taking the bat with him, just in case.

The next night Y/n waited in the Quad at 9 o’clock, cursing out the asshole who didn’t pick her up and feeling the tears welling up in her eyes. She had been so alone here all this time, in a place she didn’t want to be at in the first place and just when she thought someone might be interested in her, even an asshole Frat jock, he stands her up. She felt like she couldn’t hold it in anymore, trying to muffle her cries with the sleeves of her hoodie before hearing someone speak to her.

‘Are you alright Princess?’ Princess? No one had called her Princess since-

Her head snapped up and she saw a very tall man standing about 5 feet away, he was lanky but still covered in muscle that you could clearly see through his tight henley shirt, he wore jeans and heavy boots with his silver hair tied in a bun at the back of his head. They black eyepatch sealed the deal for her though, if she didn’t already assume who this is, now she knows. ‘Aemond? Is that you?’

‘In the flesh…why are you crying Princess?’ He moved to sit beside her on the edge of the fountain and she just stared at him in shock.

‘I…I got stood up-what are you doing here?!’ He smiled sweetly and she couldn’t help but think how handsome her best friend had become…he’s a panty dropper!

‘I’m in New York setting up a branch here for Dad, the school however, my father has recently become a benefactor of, Daeron wants to come to school here for a year to start his doctorate in 2 years, you know dad, start bribing them as early as possible.’ He joked and she giggled, remembering exactly how Viserys used to be. She never had seen him much, which she understood was Aemond’s experience too, but he was always very sweet to her, bringing her gifts and sweets with all of his other children since she was there almost 100% of the time.

‘Did you know I was here?’ He nodded and she glared half heartedly at him. ‘Why didn’t you tell me?!’ She raged, punching him in the arm.

‘We’ll mostly because I sent a letter a few years after you left and your grandmother wrote back that I would receive a restraining order if I ever contacted you again. That’s why I never reached out online either, I didn’t want to get you in trouble if she found out.’ Her face fell as he told her that and her tears began streaming again. ‘No more tears Princess, please? Such a gorgeous girl should never feel the need to shed a tear.’ He reached up, taking her face in his hands and wiping her tears with his thumbs tenderly.

‘I’m sorry she did that to you! I wanted to talk to you so badly, everyday! She was so awful to my mom and I thought maybe I would be able to talk to you when we were older but she kept tabs on everything I ever did and now I’m being forced to go to this shitty fucking school and live on campus all alone, and suffocate under a course load that I didn’t want in the first place…I just wanted to paint…and the first time I think maybe I could actually not be completely alone here I get stood up by an asshole Frat jerk!’ Aemond had pulled her to his chest as soon as she started ranting, knowing she needs someone to be there for her and he was determined to make sure it was him. ‘And now I’m ranting to you when you clearly have places to be, I’m sorry!’ She tried to pull away but he didn’t let her, lifting her into his lap for good measure and smiling at the squeak that came from her when she was sat down on him.

‘None of that Princess, you have always been and will always be most important, and I finished my meeting. I’m all yours.’ He said it in a way that he hoped she would hear his dedication to her, and she did, she heard it and couldn’t help but hope he meant he really was all hers. ‘Do you have classes tomorrow?’ She shook her head, resting it against his chest and he felt his entire body heat up as he held her to him firmly, determined that no one would ever take her away again. ‘Okay, then here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to go back to my place, you’re going to borrow some clothes and we’re going to order dinner-‘

‘No, you have things to do, you’re working here, I can’t-‘

‘No, I can’t! I can’t leave you like this, and I won’t, I will take care of you…you’re mine Princess.’ She looked up at him shocked and he tried his best to convey how hard it’s been without seeing her for the last 14 years. ‘I let them take you from me once, I won’t do it again now that I’ve found you…don’t make me let you go back to a dorm all alone…I won’t do it Y/n.’ She nodded her head quickly, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugging him tightly.

‘I missed you so much Aemond, if you’re sure you’re not too busy-‘

‘I will never be too busy for you. My weekend is yours, come on.’ He helped her stand up but didn’t let go of her, keeping his arm around her waist as he took her bag and led her down to the parking lot where his car is waiting. Aemond opened the door and lifted her into the car, hearing her gasp as he man handled her in, not once complaining about it. The drive was quick back to his home, it was an apartment in a high rise building and he loved watching her eyes slowly widen as she watched the numbers on the elevator go up and up, all the way to the top.

‘You have a penthouse apartment?’ He nodded, smirking down at her and she shoved him playfully.

‘Surely you can’t forget how we live Y/n, you think my father would let me stay anywhere else. Even if I am the least favorite, he insists on a certain condition of living for his family…he would be appalled by your state by the way, and I’m sure once I tell him he will be fixing it-‘

‘What are you talking about? I’m already in a single dorm, I have everything I-‘

‘You shouldn’t be living in a dorm room with God knows how many other women all sharing a bathroom, you’re basically family-‘

‘But I’m not.’ She cut him off and he looked at her startled as he opened the door. ‘Look at this place Aemond! It’s an apartment and I could never afford something like this! I love that you think of me as a sister and your parents think of me like an honorary child but I’m not, I am a peasant compared to you and that will never change, we live in 2 different worlds Aemond.’ He stared at her, trying to calm himself before opening his mouth.

‘You loved being a part of our family…you never judged me for how I lived before-‘

‘I’m not judging you-‘

‘But you are! I don’t like the idea that you think we’re in 2 different worlds, because I never want to exist in a world where you are not beside me, you will never live like that again, not now that I’ve found you. And the fact that you think I ever thought of you like a sister…well it’s just disgusting.’ He explained, leaning down and brushing his lips against hers as lightly as possible before moving to the kitchen, putting her bag on the couch. ‘Now, what would you like for dinner? Are you still a pizza girl, or would you like Chinese? We can get burgers too.’ He offered, pulling out a burger place menu, knowing that’s what she would pick and she quickly did, her whole face red in a heavy blush.

They ordered dinner and Aemond had a man go and pick it up for them while they chose a scary movie to watch. Aemond had loaned her one of his Henley’s before getting her a pair of his boxers from the drawer and letting her change, throwing her clothes into the wash and not being able to stop the creepy stalker inside of him from smelling her panties before putting them in. He had to stop himself from jumping her the second he walked back into the room, seeing his Princess wearing his clothes and sitting in his bed clearly waiting for him.

He set the food down, handing her her chocolate milkshake before stripping to his boxers and climbing into the bed beside her. He saw her try to hide her reddening cheeks as she looked at him, staring at his muscular chest before tearing her eyes away. It wasn’t until he noticed her rubbing her legs together that he felt his cock begin to twitch. She was just as effected by him as he was by her and he was going to have her!

They talked through the movie while eating, getting to know each other, mostly her getting to know him but he asked questions to things he knows the answers to but shouldn’t, and he loved that no matter how personal, she never once lied to him about anything. After all this time she still felt completely comfortable with him.

‘Oh! Mother will be so excited to see you! Come here!’ He held up his phone and pulled her to him, taking a picture of them quickly with her back to his chest as his arm wrapped across her shoulder and torso, his face nuzzled against her hair. It smelled like mangos and pomegranates, everything about her was just perfect.

‘Wait! You’re shirtless! She’s gonna think-‘

‘What?’ He asked, smirking down at her, humor written all over his face as he waited for her to say it. ‘What is she going to think, Princess?’

‘Nothing, never mind.’ She rolled her eyes, leaning against him as the movie finished, Aemond now laying down on the pillows with her head on his chest as if they were children at a sleepover once again.

‘I really did miss you Y/n…there wasn’t one day that I didn’t think about you.’ He willed his cock to stop twitching as she traced her finger around his stomach.

‘I missed you too, I never forgot about you Aemond. You know, I often wondered how someone who had been in my life for such little time could be such a big part of it but you were…you are. I never stopped loving you.’ He took hold of her chin, turning her head to face him and traced her bottom lip with his thumb lightly.

‘I am never leaving you again…tell me you’re mine.’ She gasped quietly, hesitating only a moment before nodding. ‘I know you want me…tell me you’re mine Y/n…tell me.’

‘I’m yours-‘ He cut her off instantly, lips crashing to hers hard and pulling her against his chest firmly. One arm held her waist firmly while his other hand buried his fingers into her hair. He licked her bottom lip, his tongue instantly exploring her mouth as she parted them, sucking her tongue between his lips and making her giggle. Her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling the hair tie out and tugging it firmly prompting him to bite down on her lip roughly making her squeal.

‘Such fun noises you make, you’ve no idea how long I’ve wondered what you would sound like for me!’ He rolled on top of her, hauling her legs up around his waist and grinding his crotch against her.

‘Oh! Oh Fuck Aemond! Feels so good!’ She whined as he ground his hard cock down against her.

‘You have no idea Princess, I’m going to make you see stars.’ He swore, grabbing ahold of the bottom of his shirt and pulling it up and off of her. ‘So fucking perfect baby, perfect fucking tits!’ His lips wrapped around her rosy nipple, sucking hard and chuckling when her back arched up into him as he did this. He switched tits, pulling her hardened peak between his teeth teasingly before beginning to kiss and suck his way down her stomach, fingers catching on her boxers and pulling them down, throwing them off to the side of the bed. He took a pause, leaning back and looking down at her…Finally seeing his girl on his bed laid out for him…nothing could be sweeter. She closed her legs awkwardly, unsure why he stopped but he quickly caught them, yanking them apart again roughly. ‘No you don’t gorgeous! You’re mine, all mine. I’m allowed to look at what’s mine. All fucking mine.’ He growled, leaning back down and shoving his face between her legs, tasting her for the first time. Aemond lifted her legs onto his shoulders, sucking on her clit and grinning as he heard her loud, needy cries.

‘Fuck, yes! Please? Please Aemond, don’t stop?!’ Stop? Stop? What is Stop? He couldn’t define that word right now, it didn’t fucking exist to him as he flattened his tongue and traced it down to her hole, pushing into her and moaning at how tight his little cunt was for him. He peeked up at her as he began fucking into her with his tongue, his nose brushing against her clit and making her squeal. ‘Oh God!’

‘No!’ He cut her off, fingers rubbing hard at her clit as he looks up at her and she tries to pull away from the almost painful attention on her body. ‘Tonight, I am your God. Do you understand me? Tonight you pray to me while I worship this body. Yes?’

‘Yes! YES! Please God, Please?!’ She sobbed, tears falling from her eyes now as she teetered on the edge, so close and needing one last push.

‘Yes Princess.’ He moaned, pushing his long fingers into her and shoving her over that edge just as she needed, watching her face contort in ecstasy as she came, hips lifting off of the bed as she screamed.

‘Fuck Aemond!’

‘There’s my good girl! Cumming so good for me.’ He kissed his way back up her body, removing his boxers as he did and leaning against her, taking his thick cock in his hand and preparing to push himself into her. ‘How do you feel baby?’ She just moaned, nodding her head and pulling him down to kiss her and as she did he pressed his cock against her hole, driving his hips home and finding her cute little squeal completely adorable. ‘So good!’ Aemond groaned, pulling out and pushing into her again. ‘So fucking tight on me, aren’t you?’ She nodded, her mouth hanging open as if screaming but no sound was coming out. ‘Yes you are, so good to me, this little pussy loves my cock so much, feel how she’s pulsing around me? She knows my cock is the only one that can make you feel like this. The only one that ever will again.’ He had picked up his pace and was now slamming into her over and over again. ‘You’re mine now Princess, all mine! Mine to care for, mine to love, mine to fuck! Isn’t that right?’

‘Yes! Yes Aemond! All yours! Please, please never stop! Oh Fuck!’

‘No need to beg Baby.’ Tears were now leaking down her cheeks and he knew he had her just where he wanted her. He could get her to agree to anything he’d like. He felt her cunt tighten around him and watched her eyes roll up as she came around his cock, squeezing so good he could make a case for why this wasn’t Earth anymore but Heaven that they were tethered to. His thumb found her clit as he sat back, thrusting into her at a rapid pace and feeling his end approaching quickly, throwing her into another orgasm before allowing himself to finish, burying his cock inside of her as deeply as he could and filling her up. ‘That’s it. Good Girl, taking all of me so good. I’m gonna take you home, back to where you belong with our family. No more school you don’t want to be in, no more grandparents you despise, just you and me and all of the babies that I’m going to fill this body with. How does that sound?’ Y/n’s responding moan was answer enough for him, whether it was meant to be or not. ‘All mine now Princess…all mine.’

You wanted a Halloween spooky ideas for fics? Well i can't write, but I do have ideas lol.

Modern Aemond Au

Aemond is your ex (I know you've just done the ex thing, but hear me out). You broke up a few months prior, and since then, you've been the target of a stalker. It started off with little things, strange texts and calls, letters at your flat. But now, you know someone has started following you home from work. You feel eyes on you when you're commuting on the tube. You go to your ex, falling on your sword and asking him for help due to his family connections. He agrees to help you with your stalker problem. As a result you start spending time together again. Your stalker doubles down, escalating the fear.

Blah blah...turns out Aemond is the stalker and has orchestrated the whole thing because he knew that you would have to come to him for help, thus bringing you back into his life. Obsessive

Actually anon I love this???

Attention to the HOTD / EWAN MITCHELL FANDOM‼️

I am currently In the process of doing all I can to take this page down. They spread false stories and narratives about Ewan and anybody in close proximity of him. They’ve spent countless of times absolutely dragging his stylist and innocent fans and fan pages and will stop at no cost in doing so. They spread this false story of a “ fan” passing to garner sympathy but I do not believe it as I do not believe anything that come from the mouth of these people. They will take innocent posts from pages joking etc and appreciating Ewan to twist it for their own game. They are so obsessive and spiral any time he doesn’t fit into their fantasy of him. These are the people we do not need in this fandom and community. They get off on sharing false rumors about Ewan’s personal life and relationships for attention ‼️ please let’s clean our community of people like these.

Please I urge you all to not engage and to report. ‼️‼️please let’s clean up this community!! Here are some of those said disgusting things posted by them.

Fanfic Idea! (modern Lucemond, where Lucerys needed a guard to protect him from his stalker)

Lucerys was a famous model who continuously had to deal with a stalker who leaves him strange things wherever he goes. Each time he finished modeling and goes to a hotel, there would always be strange gifts, but the worst one had to be a real human tongue, who apparently belonged to one of his haters.

Try as they might, the Targaryen family couldn't find the culprit. It got so bad Lucerys started having panic attacks every time he hears a knock on his door. He had to buy an emotional support animal named Arrax, and though he eased his nerves, he still feels unsafe just leaving his apartment.

Surprisingly, it was Aemond who suggested Lucerys should have a body guard, just in case something might actually happen. And surprisingly, Aemond worked as one a few years ago, and he was free to go back anytime they might need him.

Though reluctant, Rhaenyra allowed him to work as Lucerys' bodyguard, giving him passwords and the keys to Lucerys' secret apartment.

They didn't realize they just let the stalker have full control over Lucerys.

Why do i feel like Dark!Modern!Aegon would be such a good fucking stalker, i mean that man has planned everything for months possibly years, getting his basement all pretty for you, making sure it’s the best for his sweet captive 🤭

Oh god…. The only man I’d accept this AU for… maybe even Aemond. I feel like Aeg would stalk you for a little while but his patience wears thin and he just kidnaps you (such a shit attempt but he gets very lucky). Whereas Aemond’s a little more swift and calculative. 😫🥵

A/N: ah yes, valentines special, surely the fic will be something sweet and fluffy, lol sike, it's just two mentally ill ppl getting together 😍, don't let the header fool u guys. // divider credits @cafekitsune

Perhaps it was too much.

Perhaps it wasn't.

Maybe following you home without your knowledge, leaving you presents not signed with a name, instilling secret cameras into the gifts he had given to you — which you've naively kept in your room — could be considered stalking.

But Aemond doesn't feel that way, whether he is ashamed to admit or is in pure denial is unknown to himself, he justifies all of those actions by simple reasoning, ‘to make sure you were safe.’ which is way far-fetched than it should be.

You did not know Aemond, but he knew you, a obsession developed through the course of an year when you had first defended him in something, nobody ever took his side since he was a child, so seeing you step up in his defence, when he was mocked because of his eye, really ignited something in him.

You of course had forgotten about the encounter and moved on, he didn't, he cherished that memory like it was a tiny water droplet amongst the vast desert, he didn't want it to evaporate.

At first he just appreciated you, but then he got curious, of what kind of person you were, and then he got attached and now? well now he's far too in deep to leave, he knows everything about you, the outfit you like, what you do after coming home, your favourite food, what song you blast while getting ready, every miniscule thing, and he prepares his gifts accordingly.

Aemond thought you'd throw his gifts away, but you didn't, he would drop off your favourite flowers which you'd keep in your vase, he was confused why you weren't creeped out by this type of behaviour, an unknown person leaving gifts should make you be fully alert right?

The thing is, you knew.

How can you not? He was way too fully obvious, you had only ever pretended that you did not remember him, but you recognized him, he was unique after all, you'd often catch him staring in your direction, and the gifts and letters he leaves you? How can you not recognize the handwriting when you're both in the same English class? When you've read countless handwritten essays by him?

You knew he was stalking you, you knew it was fucked up, but there was some deep subconscious part of you that liked it, to see someone be obsessed over you to the point of stalking or having their whole life revolve around you was like a stroke to your ego, maybe you're allowing it because you liked the guy? he wasn't a bad person, and neither does he behave like a total creep.

His behaviour is indeed creepy, but not completely creepy or anything — is what you justified your non-repulsiveness about him with

However you had gotten tired, tired of waiting for him to make a move, so you got ahold of his schedule to see when he's free and that's when you decided you'd strike him yourself.

You walk through the hallways in search of him, immediately smiling when you find him coming out of the class, you neutralise your expression and begin walking at full speed towards him, eventually ‘accidentally’ bumping into him, causing your belongings to fall down.

“Watch where you're—Oh are you okay?” He takes a moment to recognize you, and you nod slightly, picking up your things slowly, waiting for him to help you, which he does, but when he's about to touch something – and item that he himself had gifted – you grabbed it in a rush, hiding it from him and he raises his eyebrow at that while he picks up your other things.

He then hands over all the collected stuff, “Sorry for being, that was just an important thing someone had gifted me, I cherish it a lot.” You tell slowly, and smile up at him, you watch the way he shifts in his position, as his eyebrows relax and his mouth slightly curls up in a smile, “No problem.” He tells you and you both part your ways.

That wasn't enough however.

Because Aemond still did not strike, and it made you anxious to no end, so you began planning your guys’ accidental meetings until you eventually became friends with him, Aemond did not expect any of this but he enjoyed every moment, thinking his efforts paid off, well they technically did.

You found out about the camera in the eye of a comforting bed plushie he had gifted you accidentally, it made you shocked to know that he was keeping his eye on you like this, but you didn't care at that point because you too were so obsessed about him.

It's fucked up.

And then, an idea struck up in your head.

You invited Aemond for a coffee date, if you could call it that, and spent time together, preparing for English, he's actually very smart when his life isn't revolving around you, and you liked him even more because of his intelligence.

After a few hours together, you guys ended the date and went back home, you knew he'd be watching you through the camera so you decided to put on a show for him, you laid on the bed, breathing heavily as you imagined Aemond.

You closed your eyes, imagining that your hands were his and you began touching yourself, the way his hands would squeeze your breasts, play with your njpples, you mimicked as your imagery began to go wild.

Aemond was watching all this happen, it's not like he hadn't watched you masturbate before, or hump the plushie he had given you, but this time he for an odd reason, knew it was different.

You hand slowly pulled your panties down, pretending it was him before you slowly spread your legs apart and cupped your own cunt, before rubbing small circles onto your clit.

The pleasure and tension slowly began to rise as you picked up the pace, quickly growing desperate. You knew he was probably watching so you began to make noises hoping he'd hear you, and then an idea struck through you.

Maybe you should give a point of view if he is indeed watching.

You stared at the plush for a second before committing to that, you grabbed it and positioned it between your legs and took off your shirt, so you were completely naked now.

Aemond was unbearably hard at the sight, he massaged his balls to ease the tension before unbuckling his pants pulled his cock out and wrapped his hand around it.

You rutted against the plush, bouncing up and down to create friction inbetween your legs that provided pleasure, Aemond threw his head back, trying to match your pace with his hand, imagining that it was your cunt wrapped around him instead of his hand.

Your orgasm was drawing nearer and you desperately moved your hips back and forth, letting out gasps and whines, squeezing your breasts and pretending it was Aemond's hands.

The band that tightened in your core snapped with a warning, and you closed your eyes shut at the intensity it hit you with, you came with a loud moan of his name, “Fuck— Aemond.” you gasped.

Aemond finished right then there when he heard you say out his name, he grunted as he finished all over his hands. He breathed heavily gazing through the screen as you plopped down onto the bed tiredly, “Mhm Aemond.” You whined sleepily as your tiredness finally caught up to you, and you slowly drifted off to sleep, your breaths slowing down.

Aemond couldn't sleep that night.

——————

“Are you alright?” You teasingly ask him the next morning at class and he stares at you for a moment before nodding. He decided that since you had liked him back, there should be nothing stopping him right?

“Y/N, I have something to say.” He begins

‘Finally,’ you think.

“I'm in love with you, and I don't know if this will ruin the friendship between us but I really do.” He finally confesses and you smile.

“I know Aemond, I loved all of your gifts.” you tell him

And before he could process what you had said, the professor had come in and silenced the class, even after class he didn't get a chance to talk to you, you were always whisked away by something and he grew more frustrated.

So after the college had ended, you both walked home, and he thought it was better to discuss it in private rather than in public, to which you nodded and allowed him into your house. You dropped your bag on the couch before undoing your shoes and throwing them off, before making your way into the kitchen, fetching some water and bringing it for Aemond, while he sat on the couch.

“What do you mean by that you liked my gifts?” He questioned before gulping down some water and placed it on the table right in front of the sofa. You wasted no time and got on his lap, straddling him as you wrapped your arms around him and gazed into his eye.

“I know about everything, Aemond.” You mutter and his eye widens, “Since when?” he queried and you smirked, “Months ago, our meeting wasn't a coincidence.” You cup his cheek, caressing his scar with your thumb. “I hope you liked my show last night, I was waiting for this moment.” You whisper seductively before connecting your lips with his and he lets out a satisfied hum at how soft your lips feel against his, he immediately succumbs into your kiss, grabbing you by your waste and chasing your lips with his, the kiss becomes heated as well as passionate while you grip his head and push your tongue into his mouth.

You pull away to catch your breath and stare into his eye, you push a strand of his hair behind his ear before you lean in, “Take me to the bedroom and fuck me in the bed, Aemond.” You demand and he immediately obeys, holding you tightly against him as he carries you to your bedroom, before gently throwing you on the bed.

And you sit up on your elbows as he crawls up the bed towards you, pawing at your clothes and trying to pull them off, which you assist him with, he kisses your shoulders and your neck, all the way down towards your breasts and to your stomach before pressing a loving kiss on flesh of your cunt.

“You're so fucking wet.” He says amused, and your face heats up at that comment, “All for me, yes?” He looks at you and you nod, “All for you, Aemond.” You reaffirm and he smirks, you felt warmth creep up in your stomach at his expression, giving you butterflies.

He wets his fingers with his spit before pushing one inside humming in satisfaction as your cunt swallows his finger as though it was waiting for him, he slowly begins to thrust in and out, growing more restless and hot as he watches his finger move in and out, hoping that would be his cock soon.

He adds another finger and you whine at the delicious stretch, bucking your hips upwards to which he huts at and presses them back down, his hot breaths fan against your clitoris, causing you to twitch and look at him desperately, and he immediately knows what you want.

His lips wrap around the neglected bud before he begins to suckle on it, twirling his tongue around the pearl whilst you throw your head back at the amplified pleasure he was bestowing you with.

Your fingers tangle themselves in his hair, gently pulling against his scalp as you writhe and squirm because of him, your orgasm hits you before you could even process it, making you moan his name out loud as your vision turns white as well as make your ears ring loudly.

He pulls away with a wet pop and pulls his fingers out before cleaning them up with his mouth, he licks his fingers – that was covered in your juices – squeaky clean before and hovers above you and kisses you. You wince at the tangy taste of yourself but nonetheless still kiss him back.

You tug at his pants and shirt, “Take them off.” You command, but in a pleading voice and he gladly does as you say, you watch as he pulls off his shirt and unbuckles his pants.

The sight of his body was divine, from his chest muscles to his defined arms, you began becoming more aroused as he fully undressed, and hovered above you once again, positioning himself between your legs.

“I don't have a condom.” He bites his lower lip nervously, but you cup his cheek and pull the lower lip from between his teeth, before you gazed up at him, “I don't fucking care, take me raw Aemond, I just want you to fuck me right now.” You admit unashamedly to which he chuckles lightly at before pressing his lips against yours once more.

He breaks the kiss and guides his hand towards his cock, gripping it and lining it up with your entrance, Aemond suddenly sits back so he isn't hovering over you anymore and pulls your legs over his shoulders, holding them in place as he pushes his cock inside.

He begins to thrust in and out, fucking you with a slow and gentle pace to gently stretch you out so you can adjust to his cock, and soon begins to move a faster pace than before.

However that still wasn't enough, so you begged for him to go faster; “Faster Aemond! Fuck, fuck me harder—” You are cut off by your own gasp when he sets his pace even faster than before, his thighs slapping against your butt.

Lewd noises fill the room, the scent of sex permeates the room while your body jolts up and down your bed as he restlessly pounds into you, all you could hear was your own moans matching with his as he too experiences the pleasure of this act.

“I'm cumming— fuck.” He warns you and tries to pull out but you pull your legs off his shoulders and wrap them around his waist, locking him in place, “Impregnate me like you desired, Aemond.” you tell him and he gasps as he hits his high at your words, shooting his seed inside of you.

He stimulates your clit while riding off his high which causes you to peak as well, making your walls to grip his cock tightly as they spasm around it.

He immediately plops down next to you, and you pull him to your chest, caressing his hair as he nuzzles his face in between your tits.

“I found your diary, you know, this morning.” You begin to speak as he catches his breath, “And I've found all the deepest and darkest desires you've written about me.”

His heartbeat rises and he stares up at you.

“I'd love for you to do those to me, Aemond.” you tell him.

“How are you okay with all of this? A normal person would be creeped out.” He questions and you smirk.

“I'm not so normal after all.” You kiss him on the head.

𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐃 𝐁𝐎𝐘𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐀 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐓!𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐒│𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒

— pairing : aegon targaryen ii x pregnant!reader, aemond targaryen x pregnant!reader, jacaerys velaryon x pregnant!reader, lucerys velaryon x pregnant!reader.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Aegon Targaryen II :

: ̗̀➛ Aegon would just go hysterical when he finds out you got harmed while being pregnant with his child.

: ̗̀➛ You might be the first woman he ever truly loved. The one that comforted him in every occassion, that truly understands him, supports him - and now, you are with his child. It would be too much for him if anything was to ever happen to you, or your child.

: ̗̀➛ If anyone was the cause of your injuries, being a bit hysterical, he would be absolutely ruthless. Without hesitating, he would probably just smash the persons head either against a wall, or against a table, just like he did with Lucerys when he returned to King’s Landing and they all fought.

: ̗̀➛ ^^ And saying he would only get this phsyically aggresive with the person is truly an understatement. Just expect him to make the persons life a living hell, and then he would go to you like a worried little puppy.

: ̗̀➛ Aegon could have just overreacted a little bit, as you turned out to be okay, but he can’t just act careless when something happens to you. Sweet boy would just praise you a bit too much, rambling about how worried he was. Please just hold this pathetic man in your arms and tell him you are, and will always be okay.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Aemond Targaryen :

: ̗̀➛ This boy is a bit more reserved when it comes to showing his emotions. I think Aemond would just keep a straight, stern expression even if he’s panicking on the inside.

: ̗̀➛ First things first. When he meets the maester and you in your chamber because you are getting your health checked, Aemond would surely speak to the maester first and hear what he has to say about your accident.

: ̗̀➛ You did get a bit harmed, some bruises, but nothing too serious that could potentially harm you or the child. So, you could definitely notice him release a deep huff of relief, and his body would become a bit less 'stiff'.

: ̗̀➛ Afterwards, when you finally get to be alone together, Aemond would just tell you to be more careful. Not because he thinks you’re clumsy, or because he’s scolding you - but rather, because he can’t bear the thought of losing the possibility of forming a family with you, the love of his life. Aem just cares too much, and has his own ways of showing his love.

: ̗̀➛ Either way, he will just stay by your side, comforting you for the little fright you got. Tons of kisses and smooches, plus sweet whispers of how good of a mother you will be.

: ̗̀➛ However, if someone bumped, or even worse, pushed you, fear not. Vhagar will take good care of it, without you having to even find out what happened, or worrying about anything. Do expect to have him as your little private stalker, following you around or keeping an eye on you everywhere just to make sure you will always be okay, without you knowing.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Jacaerys Velaryon :

: ̗̀➛ Jace will bomb you with questions as soon as he hears you got hurt while being pregnant. Concerned questions that... Overwhelm you a bit. Unlike Aemond, none of the two Velaryon boys would bother in hiding their worry over your health.

: ̗̀➛ Questions like: are you okay? What happened? Did you fall with something? Did someone bump into you? Are you feeling dizzy? Has a maester seen you already? What did the maester say? Is the babe alright?

: ̗̀➛ He just asks too much, to the point you can barely respond to his questions properly. But, you understand. Much like Aemond, ever since he found out you were to be parents together, he became even more overprotective of you than usual.

: ̗̀➛ Jace would immediatly take hold of your hands and sit by your side while you await for the maester to arrive, and he will attentively listen to you answering his questions.

: ̗̀➛ Of course, the babe was alright and so were you. Luckily there was no harm made. Either way, if someone bumped into you instead of you falling, Jace needs to know who it was just in case that person did it on purpose.

: ̗̀➛ ^ gods, his face would literally twitch in anger at the thought of it.

: ̗̀➛ And if someone did bump into you on purpose? Jace wouldnt be reluctant in finding them, and getting physical. But of course, after spending time by your side with a relieved, content expression on his face.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Lucerys Velaryon :

: ̗̀➛ The second Luke is informed that you hurt yourself, sweet boy would immediatly drop whatever thing he is doing just to rush to stay by your side, holding your hand and filling your face with concerned kisses.

: ̗̀➛ The idea of being the father to your children is something he can’t get enough of; so knowing you either fell/bumped into someone just leaves him at the verge of a panic attack.

: ̗̀➛ Will ask you a thousand of times if you’re okay, how are you feeling, and will also make sure to bring the best maesters to check on your and the child’s wellbeing.

: ̗̀➛ Of course, nothing bad happened. It was just a clumsy little moment, and both you and the babe are doing more than excellent. Literally, it was just a little spook.

: ̗̀➛ Either way, Lucerys will insist on staying by your side and just showering you and your precious little baby with his endless love.

: ̗̀➛ Basically, you’re his top priority. No matter what the situation was, Luke will always make sure to check on both of your wellbeing first, before having a talk about being more careful around you with whomever bumped into you (if, for example, you bumped into someone).

: ̗̀➛ Little love dragon would be EXTREMELY concerned the moment he finds out you got hurt, but oh, his face will turn into a relieved and joyful one when both of his treasures are alright. Maybe will also turn a bit more overprotective than he already is. As long as you are alright, he would pay no mind to the rest of the world. Luke would just rather stay with you, and your child. 💜💙

[who-let-me-out]

Suddenly got very into House of the Dragon and now I have an idea to share.

Platonic Yandere targaryens with Aegon.

Viserys and alicent become obsessed with him when he was born. He has dozens of knights to protect him, never alone unless with his family. He’s so precious he must be protected. He can do no wrong.

Viserys wants to move him into a tower so he is safe from everyone and everything that could hurt him. Still brings it up, trying to convince Aegon that the tower would be so good and fun for him! His own space (locked away, only for his families eyes. No one else can see him, they could hurt his precious boy.) Aegon is often called to his fathers side, enjoying the loving attention and affection from his father.

Rhaenyra is very protective of her baby brother. Considers taking him to Dragonstone many times. Precious baby boy loves his big sister too. Always excited to see her. She rubs it in alicents face that Aegon gets more excited to see her then his own mother.

Uncle Daemon will commit several war crimes for this small boy. Makes sure to rest every single one of his guards to ensure he is safe. The safest boy.

Grandsire Otto will use every connection he has to keep the boy safe and secluded. No one outside the castle will see him, anyone who could be a threat is arrested and put to death for crimes against the crown.

Helaena and Aemond keep him company as they grow older. They are selfish and want to keep him to themselves, not even they’re parents can see him if they are there. Aemond trains to ensure he can protect his big brother, he’s so fragile. He and Vhagar can protect him, who would go against the largest Dragon in the world. He claimed Vhagar and lost an eye to protect him. He remembers his dear sweet brother crying for him, for his injuries. Helaena will keep watch through her dreams. Though criptic they can help her keep her brother safe with them. Only with them. No one else. They can’t touch him!

His nephews follow they’re mother. So protective. He can do no wrong. They try to convince Aegon to go with them to Dragonstone, they can protect him there. They have more dragons there, they will make sure no one can hurt him.

Baela and Rheana follow too. They were taught from a very young age to watch over they’re cousin, he is fragile and to be protected. He needs them. They will run to Daemon for the slightest thing regarding his safety. He was found in the gardens with only 12 guards? They will get Daemon to punish them for slacking off on they’re duty. One of his servants looked at him for 0.2 seconds longer then they should? Clearly they are stalkers and seek to harm the Prince! They should be punished

Even Sunfyre is obsessed with him. However unlike the humans of the family, Aegon will go willingly where every the dragon flies. Aegon can be seen sneaking away to the dragon pit to fly with his beloved dragon. They’ve lost many men because the fools tried to seperate the dragon from his rider. If he could, sunfyre would follow him around the castle.

Suprise twist is that Aegon remembers being king. He remembers the dance of the dragons. He remembers dying. He woke up in this strange world where his whole family is begging for his attention and will kill in his name. Viserys tried to name him Heir to the throne but Aegon refused, it is Rhaenyras birthright and he would not take that from her.

Aemond Masterlist

There was a phrase you heard quite a few times in your village as a little girl, ‘the night is dark and full of terrors’. Your mum would always roll her eyes and mumble something about ‘religious fanatics’. You were always inclined to agree with her, that is until this night. 

This night truly was dark and full of terrors. 

Thunder cracked loud enough that your ears rang as rain poured something awful. The harsh droplets pelted at your skin and the sky split in half as a lightning bolt landed merely a stone’s throw before you. 

Your horse neighed in panic loud enough that you could hear him over the bellowing wind as he reared back on his hind legs, causing you to slip and fall off and land directly on your backside in the mud. 

You gasped in shock and did not even have time to call out before your horse bolted away, leaving you drenched and muddy on the forest floor. 

Instead of crying you merely turned your head up towards the sky, embraced the pain of the harsh rain against your cheeks, and screamed at the heavens in frustration. 

You managed to pull yourself up before the mud sucked you in below the surface of the world, adjusted the hood of your cloak once again over your head, and trudged forward. 

Your boots sloshed through the dampened forest floor and you thought that perhaps the naysayers in your village were right. Maybe the gods were punishing you for your promiscuity. 

When you laid with the soldier passing through your village and allowed him to take your maidenhood, you were convinced there would be no consequences. 

You were no one, nothing, and not having your maidenhood intact changed nothing other than the subject the gossipers in town clucked about. 

It seemed it also changed the gods’ vengeance towards you. 

This night was dark and full of terrors, that much you could sense as fear shot down your spine. 

You increased your pace, fearing the creatures that could be lurking in the woods, desperate for some sort of shelter. The feeling of eyes watching you from time to time during your journey became steady and unceasing. You felt uneasy, the hair on the back of your neck stood straight up, and you knew it had nothing to do with the cold in the air. 

Eventually you had no other choice but to ignore the feeling, having looked behind and around you dozens of times in search of your stalker to no avail.

You trudged along for what felt like hours, not once finding anything that could serve as a temporary shelter. That was, until you somehow stumbled upon a near debilitated castle. 

As it came into view, you shuddered at the feeling the crumbling building invoked in you, but any shelter was better than none at this point. 

Stone walls with vines nearly overtaking them towered over you as you rushed forward towards the large wooden doors. You looked up and thought you saw a pair of gemstone blue eyes glowing in the dark from a window at the top of the tower, but you blinked and they were gone. 

You shook your head, sure your tired eyes were playing tricks on you, and reached for the handle of the door. 

You took a shuddering breath and pulled the heavy door open. Shock filled your very being as you were overcome with warmth and light. 

While the outside of the building was shabby, the inside was magnificent. It was well kept and well lit. A home fit for a king, with a grand staircase was directly in front of you and an elderly man in a servant’s outfit was walking down it.

“Young lady! Who are you and how dare you come into this home uninvited?” the man chided as he descended the last of the steps and stood before you. 

“I-I’m so sorry, sir. I didn’t know anyone lived here, I was merely searching for shelter from the awful storm,” you said, eyes wide- portraying how stunned you felt. 

The man’s stern facade crumbled and he smiled warmly at you, you let go of your held breath and managed a small smile back at him. 

“Ah, yes, I tend to forget the master’s illusion on the outside of the building. He does it to keep the unwanted away,” he said. 

“Illusion? Like magic?” you asked. 

“Well, yes, of course. Come in, let’s get you out of the cold. You must be miserable,” the man said as he ushered you inside and closed the door behind you. 

“Alfred,” you heard the voice of a man call out from another room. His voice caused a shiver to go down your spine. 

“Yes, sire,” Alfred, the man before you replied, and the man with the shiver-inducing voice came into view as he rounded the corner and came into the entryway where you stood. 

Your breath caught once again as you saw the most striking and beautiful man you’d ever seen in your life. 

He was tall, nearly impossibly so, with long silver hair that fell nearly to his waist. He moved with the grace and control of a lethal killer. His facial features were sharp, as if he was cut from marble. His skin of pale white only emphasized his most distinct feature, an eye of sapphire that covered part of a scar that cut across his forehead and cheek. His remaining true eye was also a distinct blue color, nearly matching the sapphire one perfectly.  

Ethereal was the word that arose in your mind as he strode towards you, amusement twinkling in his eye as he took you in. 

“And who might you be, lovely?” he asked. 

After entirely too long of a pause, in which his amusement appeared to only grow as his beautiful lips curved into a smirk, you managed to stutter out your name. 

He repeated it back to you, leaning closer towards you, and your heartbeat sped into a gallop. He titled his head, almost as if he could hear it. You dismissed the thought, deeming it absurd. 

“My name is Aemond. Welcome to my home. Tell me, how exactly did you manage to find your way here?” he asked curiously. 

You leaned in closer with him, not realizing that your face was merely inches from his at this point, utterly drawn in and intoxicated by his presence. 

You were filled with a desire to please him and as a result you began rambling. “I was attempting to move away from my village. Take off and find a new life, but then there was a series of unfortunate events including running for my life, becoming irretrievably lost, and then becoming something I’m certain looks similar to a drowned rat after my horse was startled by the storm and I stumbled around for hours attempting to find shelter.” 

“Oh you poor sweet thing. Let us take care of you,” he purred and rather than set you at ease, something in the words made you feel as if your misadventures were far from over. And yet, you were entranced by his gaze and could not so much as force yourself to look away or take a step back. 

His smile grew wider as you nodded meekly. 

Finally, Aemond released you from his gaze as he turned to Alfred and asked him to fetch the maid Portia to assist you in cleaning yourself up. 

Before you knew it, you were being ushered up the stairs and into a room you could only assume was a guest room by an elderly woman with a sweet round face. 

She helped you to remove your muddy sodden clothes and you groaned in relief as you slid into a warm bath. You smiled warmly at her as you scrubbed your body and she cleaned your hair, all the while chattering to you about her love for her husband Alfred and their happiness working for Master Aemond. 

“Can you tell me about him?” you asked curiously as she helped you to dress. 

The dress she helped you into was of crushed velvet, sapphire blue like the gemstone in Aemond’s eye that had so caught your attention. The dress had a corset and plunging neckline that emphasized your curves. 

Portia hummed as she led you to sit down and began working on your hair. 

“He is a bit odd, yes. Intimidating and perhaps even scary to some, but he has a good heart. And is loyal and protective to those he cares for. He has treated my husband and I very kindly,” she said with a caring smile. 

Her words put your heart more at ease, still slightly worried about the new surprising circumstances you had found yourself in. 

“Does he typically extend that same kindness to visitors?” you asked, nervousness coloring your tone a bit. 

“It depends on the intentions of the visitor. A sweet thing like you? You’ll be well taken care of,” she said. 

“Does he often have ill-intentioned visitors?” you asked curiously. 

“It does happen from time to time, those in the nearest village hold hate for him in their hearts. Old prejudices I suppose, but no matter!” she said, changing the subject and her tone as she turned you around to view yourself in the floor length mirror. 

“Take a look at yourself, my dear. You look stunning, see? All the horror of the day washed completely away,” she said soothingly as she ran her hands up and down your upper arms. 

Your breath caught in your throat as you saw yourself. She was right, you’d never seen yourself look so beautiful before. You actually looked fit to reside in such a lovely home, unlike before, unlike any other time in your life. You’d never worn such a beautiful and expensive dress. You ran your hands across the soft fabric, up your torso and thought that it was the perfect inviting dress for someone else to touch you in. 

Images flashed in your head of the soldier you allowed to touch you, never while you wore something so pretty, but pleasurable nonetheless. Romps in the hay, literally as the two of you would often meet in your father’s barn and he taught you the art of a pleasure you’d never known before. 

You were not disillusioned about it, you knew there was no love between the two of you. You knew he would one day have to move on without you, but when he left town just as others found out about your affair, you were frustrated at being left alone with the consequences of a choice the both of you made. 

The townspeople, the people you grew up with, turned on you and called you a whore. Even your own father fell victim to their hateful whispers about you and kicked you out of his home. Only your mother helped you, sneaking you out in the dead of night and gifting you her horse to aid you on your journey into another life. 

You shook your head slightly in an attempt to clear those thoughts, the memories of both pleasure and pain, and smiled at your reflection. 

“Thank you, Portia, your efforts are greatly appreciated,” you said as you turned and embraced her in a warm hug. 

She squeezed you before releasing you and leading you out of the guest room and back down the grand staircase. 

You followed her into an elegant dining room, a fireplace lit - the fire crackling and warming the spacious room. The table was large enough to seat ten people, but only two place settings were set next to one another, somehow creating an intimate dinner even in such a large room. 

Aemond sat at the end of the table, and stood as he saw you. 

“Good evening, you look magnificent,” he said, voice as velvety as your dress. 

You did your best to hide how his words flustered you as you smiled softly and curtseyed. 

“Thank you, sire. But, this is too much. I did not mean to interrupt your your evening so and I-I’ll never be able to repay you-” 

He reached a hand out and you placed your hand in his. At the brush of your skin against his, your words fell off. 

His hands were cold, and yet- the mere brush of his fingers against yours filled your body with heat. 

“There is no repayment necessary, the pleasure of your company will be more than enough if you would please dine with me,” he said. 

“Of course,” you breathed out as you allowed him to guide you to your seat. 

Your nose was filled with the aroma of a hearty stew in a bowl before you and your stomach growled in anticipation. 

You gave Aemond a sheepish look even as he chuckled. 

“Eat, of course. You must be near ravenous. I’m familiar with the feeling,” he said, and his voice dipped lower. His eyes appeared to flash at his words, causing your heartbeat to jump, but you were far too hungry to think about it and played it off as a trick of the light, a reflection of the fire in his gemstone eye. 

You tucked in and struggled to hold in your groan of satisfaction at the taste of the soup. 

Aemond poured you both glasses of red wine and you thanked him as he handed you yours. 

“Are you not going to eat?” you asked him, suddenly feeling self conscious that you were shoveling mouthfuls of stew and bread into your mouth while he merely sipped on his wine and watched you. 

“Oh I intend to. Just not right now, I had what you might call a late afternoon snack,” he said and something about his words had a chill run up your spine, despite the warmth of both the room and the soup in your belly. 

“You told me of your journey here, but tell me about yourself. I find myself fascinated by the entirety of you,” he practically purred, and you immediately forgot your apprehension at his previous words. 

“I feel the same way about you,” you replied breathily. 

He smiled, a full glorious smile that made you feel as if the storm had ended and the sun had come out. But there was a glint, a sharpness, and with a start you realized his canine teeth were elongated. 

He must have seen the fear in your eyes as he reached over and grasped your hand gently. You felt that on fire feeling in your skin once again, but also felt all the fear wash out of your body. 

“Tell me about you,” he requested again, voice soft and low, a tone that caused you to wonder if that was how he spoke to his lovers late at night. 

You were filled with compliance, with a desire to please him, and so you did as you were asked, and told him everything about yourself. You told him of your childhood, your parents, your likes and interests, your dreams for a better life. 

He watched you with rapt attention, murmuring questions to prompt you to further share with him about yourself. And, oh gods, when he looked at you that way, his sapphire gaze so intense, you wanted to share yourself completely. 

“What had you so desperately searching for a new life?” he finally asked. 

So you explained, shamefully, how you laid with a man and became the village whore for merely choosing your own pleasure over mediocrity for once in your life. 

You looked down at your empty bowl, toying with the spoon, while you waited for his reaction, for his disgust and dismissal of you. 

Long cold fingers gently grasped your chin and lifted your head up to meet his gaze. 

You were enraptured by his undivided attention. 

“There’s no need to listen to the opinions of small minded individuals. Pleasure is nothing to feel guilty about. Especially when there are so, so many pleasures in life to discover,” he said and the soft lilt of his voice along with the dark tone made your toes curl. 

You wanted to experience unknown pleasures, you wanted him to teach you, to explore with you. 

You bit your lip, nodding slightly in agreement, and his hand slid up from your chin to curl around your jaw. His thumb stroked the apple of your cheek and you shivered. 

He pulled your bottom lip from between your teeth and you waited, nearly shaking with anticipation, for him to press his lips against your own, to replace the pressure with some of his own, and he smirked as if he knew what you were thinking, but pulled back. 

He sat back in his chair, far enough from you that you no longer felt intoxicated by his scent and presence, and you let out a soft breath of disappointment. 

Amusement and desire both seemed to dance in his gaze. You took a sip of wine, looking away from him to clear your head, and took a breath to steady yourself. 

“Will you tell me about yourself as well, sire?” you asked. 

“Aemond,” he corrected. “Please call me Aemond, sweet one.” 

“Aemond, I’d love to hear about you,” you requested once more. 

It seemed he had the same response to hearing his name drip from your lips as you had when he said yours, for his eyelid fluttered closed and his hand clenched into a fist, but the next breath he had composed himself once more and nodded. 

“My life… it feels as if it has been an eternity. A lonely one at that,” he said and this time you reached over and took his hand, holding it in support. 

“I was treated as if I were unwanted from the moment I was born, my eye taken hatefully when I was merely a boy, and then as a man I was deemed a monster. I was driven out of my home, my family did naught to protect me, and it took me far too long to find a place to call my own. Still, others that encounter me call me a monster and I find myself alone most of the time,” he explained and your heart hurt for him. 

“Why do others call you a monster? Your gemstone eye?” you asked as you leaned closer to him once again. 

This time you leaned in and placed your hand on his face, tracing the length of his scar with your thumb as you gently held his cheek. 

“Hmmm,” he hummed in a noncommittal sort of agreement. 

“I think it’s beautiful,” you said, your voice so soft it was practically a whisper. 

It was evident he heard you as he practically nuzzled his face into your hand. He gripped your wrist and ran his nose from the palm of your hand to the inside of your wrist, breathing in deeply. 

His actions, though gentle and loving, caused an inexplicable feeling of fear to drip down your spine, particularly when his lips pressed against your skin. You’d never realized what a vulnerable place in the body the wrist was, a bundle of veins, until Aemond pressed his perfectly curved lips against it. 

But as soon as it came, the fear was gone as Aemond looked up at you and you met his gaze once more. 

You reached out and pushed his silver hair out of his face where it had fallen and tucked it behind his ear. 

His long gorgeous hair was so soft you yearned to run your fingers through it and learn of his response, learn of the noises he would make when in pleasure. 

“You are so beautiful,” he murmured, appearing as entranced by you as you were by him. 

You could do nothing to hide the way his words flustered you, as the weight of his attention had you pinned down and unable to move. 

He caught your hand and held it in place against his hair. 

As he leaned closer to you, his movements were slow and deliberate, like a predator trying not to spook his prey. 

Your heart began to sprint and you were certain you would never be able to slow it again. 

His sharp nose brushed against yours, and the anticipation was so strong you forgot how to breathe. 

Aemond hummed softly before he finally, finally pressed his lips to yours. 

As his lips moved against yours you felt inherently changed, different. It felt as if a shadowed hand with sharp talons dripping with blood had reached through your chest and gripped your heart and claimed it. 

You were his, his, and you were prepared to swear to him your utter devotion, your life. You didn’t quite understand what you were experiencing, but you didn’t care as he deepened the kiss. As he claimed your mouth you gasped, letting out a small whimper. This gave him the in he needed to slide his tongue against yours. 

You shuddered, gripping his hair tighter as he lifted you with an ease that should not be possible and sat you atop his lap. 

Your dress prevented you from straddling him like you wished, but you could not complain as he gripped your waist tightly. You ran your hands from his face and his hair to his shoulders, down to his arms, gripping him tightly and kissing him deeply, with everything you had, with utter devotion. 

You let out a small yelp of surprise as your tongue explored his mouth and brushed against something entirely too sharp. 

He tore his lips from yours and met your gaze. Your chest brushed against his as it heaved while you attempted to catch your breath. 

Fangs, you recognized. Those were fangs in his mouth, made for sinking his teeth in. 

You could not discern how you felt, what you thought, for the utter fire for him burned through you. 

He traced your jaw, then the line of your neck down to your collarbone, slowly, achingly slowly as you wanted nothing more than for him to kiss you again. Then, his lips followed the same journey his fingers had just taken. You shivered, your head falling back as your eyes fluttered shut. 

“Tell me you are mine,” Aemond ordered, and his breath against the sensitive skin of your neck made you shiver. 

“I’m yours,” you replied breathily and you could feel his smile against your throat. 

“Tell me you want me,” he ordered. 

“I want you,” you whined, and his grip on you tightened nearly to the point of pain, but you could not focus on that. No, not when you felt those fangs graze against that most sensitive spot on your neck. 

The night is dark and full of terrors, the words rang through your head once more and your breath stopped as you realized you had fallen into this beautiful monster’s trap. Fear shot down your spine and made your body tense and freeze. 

“Hmm,” he hummed in reassurance as he pressed a kiss against your vulnerability. 

Your body responded immediately, you relaxed completely, becoming nearly ragdoll like in his arms. He lifted you, holding you as he stood, and walked into the next room, a sitting room of sorts, and laid you on a chaise. 

“Aemond,” you breathed out. 

He kneeled next to where you laid. 

“I care for you,” he said as he brushed a hand across your cheek, “I don’t wish to compel you.” 

He kissed you once more. At the feeling of his lips against yours, you were reborn. You had control over your body once again and you yanked him atop of you, deepening the kiss. 

He groaned into your mouth, and pulled back slightly, causing you to whine in protest. 

“You truly want me?” he asked, his tone sounding surprised. 

Your survival instinct had long since gone quiet as a result of you continuously ignoring its protests. 

“Yes,” you said and pulled his lips to yours again. 

“Perhaps we can make a deal then,” he said, trailing his lips down once more to his favorite spot on your neck, where your veins were most vulnerable.

“If you give me what I want, I will reward you with everything you desire and more,” he said and you again felt the sharpness of those fangs. 

You let out a shuddering breath. 

“Yes,” you agreed, all logic disappearing as desire overtook your very being. 

And you knew. You knew and he knew, that his compelling magic was gone, the desire you felt for him this entire time was real and true, not due to compelling whatsoever. There was something more, something deeper at play here, and your choice was your own as you chose him, completely. 

And with that, he groaned lowly and sank his fangs into your neck.  

Sharp indescribable pain is what you expected but instead it was like a dull buzz of pain nearly overwhelmed by pleasure. 

He ran his hands down your body, ensuring he paid special attention to your breasts and you gasped his name. 

Aemond’s hand slipped up your dress, inching up your burning hot skin, and finding the wetness between your legs that awaited him. 

You whimpered softly as he brushed your panties aside and finally touched you where you wanted him the most. 

His nimble fingers spread your slick and quickly found a rhythm circling your bundle of nerves as he continued to drink your blood. 

As the heat inside you built, he pulled his teeth from your neck and slowly dragged his tongue up your neck, licking up every last drop of blood from your skin. His fingers moved in perfect time with his tongue, and with no notice your release hit you, overwhelming you completely as you moaned loud enough to echo through the room. 

“Absolutely exquisite,” he said as he pulled back from your neck and looked deep into your eyes. 

He ran his thumb over your bottom lip, and you stared at him as your chest heaved, absolutely entranced. He then replaced his thumb with his bloodsoaked lips. 

He groaned as you kissed him eagerly, your blood in his mouth not causing any hesitation whatsoever. 

“I need you,” you gasped. 

“I have needed you for an eternity,” he replied as he began untying the corset of your dress. 

You moaned as the cool air hit your skin and he slowly and gently removed the beautiful dress from your body, leaving you completely bare. You turned and looked at the pile of sapphire velvet on the floor. 

He gripped your chin, turning your head to look at him once more. You helped him to remove his shirt, and then watched eagerly as he unbuckled his belt, beginning to make himself just as bare as you. 

“I must admit something to you,” he said and your mouth ran dry as the hard length of him sprung free. 

“Yes,” you asked breathlessly as you reached and wrapped your hand around him. 

He let out a sound low in his throat, something similar to a growl, as you began to move your hand up and down his length. 

“It is not happenstance that you found yourself in my home. I must confess that I have been watching you for a while now. I needed you. I needed to taste you, to make you mine. I influenced your journey here, guided you, so I could finally show you my devotion,” he said. 

“Then make me yours, completely,” you pleaded and guided his length to line up with your wet heat. 

With a groan he nodded his head and pushed himself inside you. 

He filled you, inch by glorious inch, and you could do nothing but gasp for air as you felt fuller than you’d ever felt in your life. 

You reveled in the press of your naked chest against his, as you pulled him close enough that you couldn’t tell where your body ended and where his began.

You were one with the vampire atop you, and you’d never felt more intense pleasure in your life. 

When he was certain you were ready, he kissed you, surprisingly tenderly, before he pulled out nearly all the way, and pushed back inside you, sinking to the hilt. 

His tempo was slow and deep, as he gazed deep in your eyes and told you how beautiful he found you. 

“Perfect, so perfect,” he praised as you mewled for him when he tilted your hips up and hit a spot of pleasure inside you that had never been found before. 

Aemond continued his pace, holding you tight, as your nails dug into his back. 

“Come for me, darling, I can feel how close you are,” he purred in your ear. 

He slipped his hand between your bodies and found your bundle of nerves once more, stroking it and you nearly screamed as your release wracked through you. 

You felt you had reached heaven, somehow, in the arms of your ethereally beautiful monster lover and it took you several moments to come back down. 

So lost in your pleasure, you had not even felt a sting of pain as he sunk his teeth into your wrist. He gulped your blood, moaning in pleasure, as he continued to pump himself in and out of your tight wet heat, chasing his own release. 

You tangled your other hand in his hair, and gripped tighter around his cock, urging him on, encouraging both his release and for him to continue to drink from you. 

He groaned as his release found him, sinking deep inside you, bringing ecstasy to you both. 

You shuddered a breath as his movements slowed and stopped. He pulled his teeth from your wrist, and murmured your name, like a praise- like a prayer, with utter devotion. 

As he looked at you, you reached up and wiped your blood from where it had dripped down his chin. 

He brought your wrist to his lips once more, and before you could protest that you were beginning to feel lightheaded, he surprised you by licking the wound clean instead of sinking his teeth back in, just as he had with the wound on your neck. 

You watched in fascination, as his saliva magically closed your wound, leaving only a small scar. 

He looked up and grinned at you, your blood coating his teeth, and you whimpered and pulled him into another kiss. 

He kissed you languidly, tongue moving against yours, as if he had all of eternity with you. 

“I have never tasted anything so divine,” he purred against your lips. 

“I have never felt so wonderful in all my life,” you said back as you pulled back enough to look upon him once again. 

“I can feel it. Can you feel it? You are to be my eternity, my everlasting, my one true mate. I give you my utter devotion. You said you wanted to start a new life. Start it with me. Let me turn you and we can be together forever. Stay with me,” he pleaded. 

And so you did. 

Yes, this night was dark and full of terrors, but this terror had wrapped himself around you, sunk deep inside you, and devoted his entire being to you, offering you pleasure and love unlike any you’d ever experienced before. 

And so, later, when Aemond fed you his blood and turned you and you opened your eyes into this new life, becoming a terror yourself, you grinned and kissed your vampire mate, prepared to spend forever by his side.

Everything that occurs leading up to the Dragonstone ball - the outcome of the accident, Aemond struggling with his current state, and the reader left hoping for a love, that perhaps, never truly was.

Lucerys Velaryon has already garnered quite the reputation, at only 22 years old. 

A darling of the masses, everyone loved the young heir to Driftmark, a great company built by his grandfather, the notorious shipping tycoon, Corlys Velaryon.

But having the name Velaryon is a double-edged sword for Luke.

It only increases his privilege and prestige, already being a Targaryen on his mother’s side. Luke is set for life; he has everything he could ever need at his disposal. As a young boy, he has always enjoyed cars. Tinkering with them under the guidance of his father Laenor, as well as his uncle Daemon. Luke got himself into kart racing at the age of 9. Illegal street racing, much to his mother’s disappointment, at the age of 14. And just recently, he has been competing in Formula 2 division racing.

From the outside, he is just like any other boy. Apart from the fact that his family is literally worth billions, that is. 

But Luke has never been content. He has never been self-assured, borne out of the truth, one that everyone simply chooses not to mention, that Laenor Velaryon is not his true father. That he is a bastard, and therefore, not the rightful heir to Driftmark. He has always known this, despite his mother’s pleas otherwise. He knows this each time he hears the employees of Driftmark whisper amongst themselves after he passes by. Whenever he is invited to sit in the council meeting of the company, he feels his true status in how the shareholders disregard his opinions like he’s just some intern.

He grew up amidst the tension between himself and his brothers, and their young uncles, especially Aemond. When Aemond and Lucerys were growing up together, they simply did not learn to exist well around one another. Luke had bullied his young uncle long ago - an act of rebellion, of a boy growing up with resentment in his bones -  when Aemond had been weak and scrawny as a child. Aemond retaliated in kind; but he finally matured and found some inner calm in his mid-twenties. A year or two before you met him.

Luke's uneasiness has only worsened, now that he is nearly set to take his place on Driftmark. Since his family hails from Valyria, everyone expects them to uphold the tradition of only passing down inheritance to rightful heirs. Never bastard children or outliers.

But what the hell. Luke has never been one to follow the rules. His very existence does not abide by them, so why should he?

The night of the accident, Luke had to sit in yet another board meeting for the company. This time, Aemond was there too. Only he was treated as he should, being a Targaryen. Like someone capable, someone worthy. 

It should not have made any difference, really. Luke thought he was used to it all by now - the stares, the hushed whispers, the poorly masked scorn. They think Aegon or Aemond to be more competent. If the board had their way, it would not be Luke who would inherit Driftmark. Perhaps, his grandfather’s brother, Vaemond. Or hell, even his cousins Baela and Rhaena, though they never expressed any interest in the business.

Anyone but Luke.

-----------------------------

As a child, Aemond Targaryen saw himself as some kind of a ghost. A spectre simply moving around his family, their company, their horde of sycophants. Not the first to be considered. Not the designated heir to anything. The second son of the owner and chief executive of Dragonstone, and his much younger, barely beloved second wife.

Once upon a time, his father Viserys had been well and truly happy. 

He was married to the love of his life, Aemma, and they had a lovely daughter who was loved by all due to her charm and fiery nature. 

When Aemma passed in childbirth, Viserys had been near inconsolable. But he could not remain so for very long. Soon enough, his board of trustees, his advisors, urged him to remarry. He did not have an heir yet after all, and as per tradition, he soon needed to have a son so that he might raise him to become the next CEO and owner of their business empire.

But Viserys decided to essentially bypass such tradition, for less than a year after his wife’s passing, he had publicly announced his only daughter as his successor. It did not matter what the board of trustees or the shareholders preferred. They may have considerable sway over the affairs of the company, but in the end, the word of Viserys prevails.

And so Aemond and his three siblings have been pushed to the periphery. Not that they ever stood a chance anyway. In the end, their father will always uphold his precious Rhaenyra over them. Their mother plays the part of a mere trophy wife, though she is a noble Hightower herself, having to feign contentment in spite of all the times she and her children are slighted. 

Aemond thought himself calmer now, and matured. Painstakingly made every effort to be far from that weak boy who had no place anywhere. He is still unsure if he likes the person that he is, and perhaps he never has. But he morphed - or masked - this self-loathing into an unfailing desire to do better, to be better. He’s always wanted more. And he has learned to be strong for his mother, his sister. Himself. 

And now, you. How unpredictable you had been, bursting into his life like the Dornish comet of ‘07. He knew early on that you liked him, sort of, with how your eyes would dart back and forth to his direction whenever he’s in the room. 

It made him uneasy, at first, when his looks developed in such a way that garnered him plenty of attention. The spectre of the city turned ‘Prince of the city’, a strapping young man who can have anyone he wishes. 

But, funnily enough, all those socialites, models, glorified urban princesses with millionaire parents, Aegon’s harem of traditionally near-perfect friends from Lys that he often offers - none of them ever stood a chance to you, his sister Helaena’s earnest, gentle, and quick-witted best friend. 

Aemond would be lying if he said he fell for you immediately. It would be far from his nature to do such a thing. But he had, slowly, found himself enveloped in your light, and only feeling warm, only feeling home - only feeling like he could truly love himself - when you look at him with those soul-piercing eyes of yours. Maybe he isn’t so bad after all, if you can see him in the way you do. And he trusts your judgement; when you profess to want him in turn,  then he must be worth more than he thinks.

But the night of the accident, his forsaken shadow seemed to envelop him like an old friend. One that he can never shake. His anger, his darkness. He had long buried the Aemond Targaryen who frequently got into fistfights. The Aemond who deliberately ordered the expulsion of certain people he simply did not like from the employ of their company. The Aemond who chose to openly mock the truth of his raven-haired cousins’ parentage.

That night, that Aemond resurfaced, and with dire consequences. 

The night of the accident, four months before the Dragonstone ball

The storm had begun just before the board meeting ended. Heavy rain spattered against the Driftmark tower, with the night sky illuminated by streaks of lightning.

Aemond and Lucerys were coming to a head at the council table, and the other members were having to intervene at multiple points, just to mitigate the rising tension. The storm brewing inside the young men’s hearts could easily rival the one threatening to flood the streets.

Lucerys repeatedly interrupted Aemond’s suggestions, having grown tired of his own being cast aside by everyone else. 

“Wait for your turn to speak, my Strong nephew.” Aemond smoothly countered when he did not get to finish addressing Vaemond Velaryon.

“I didn’t think what you were saying was particularly important, uncle.” Luke retaliated in kind.

“Hmm. Some things never change, it seems. You still don’t know your place.”

“My place will soon be the highest seat of Driftmark. And you will still be grandfather’s second son, a mere placeholder at Dragonstone.”

“Please, sirs,” the meeting director complained. “We must get on with more urgent matters.”

Aemond and Luke barely contribute for the remaining minutes, opting to glare and sneer at each other from across the table.

But their council tiffs would not end up being the most unpleasant occurrence for that night. As if the storm also cast its darkness over their reasoning, they soon found themselves racing towards Gods Eye.

-----------------------------

It was meant to be a game. A show of bravado. Two young men, though in their depths still wounded boys, found themselves spewing offenses in an attempt to lower the other.

“You might inherit Driftmark, but everyone knows the truth, plain as day. You will always be a bastard.”

“Sure, but I am still more than you. What have you ever truly accomplished, uncle? Poor y/n, if she’s fallen for your tricks. Does she know who you truly are? She’s too bloody good for you.”

When Luke raised the challenge of racing to the edge of the cliff of Gods Eye, Aemond grasped at the opportunity to humiliate his nephew. To prove all of his claims to be wrong.

It might have been either one of them, or both, who deigned to edge their car close to the other’s, trying to veer it off course. Just a little nudge to make it spin out of the road.

But the turbulent weather was strong, causing mud and water to pool along the gravel. When the cars collided, Aemond’s took the brunt of the hit. Before he could even register the impact, his car was already spinning right towards the treeline. 

Luke had veered off road, his car rotating upside down. His right leg suffered from multiple fractures, including a busted knee cap.

But Aemond… 

His screams resounded despite the ceaseless pattering of rain, louder than even the roaring thunder overhead. A shard of glass had been wedged deep on one side of his face, splitting the flesh open. 

So much blood had pooled into his one remaining eye, that he feared he went entirely blind. The memory of your face flashed across his mind, and he despaired at the thought of never being able to see you again.

Later in the operating room, when the full extent of his injuries was delineated to him, Aemond thought that perhaps, it is you who would never want to see him again.

Why would you, with what has now become of his appearance?

Two months before the Dragonstone ball

You’re finding it hard not to keep tabs on Aemond, still asking Helaena every now and then if he’s really alright. To which she always responds with some version of “He’s okay. He just needs some time.”

Time. That’s fine. You suppose that the accident must have shaken him up, enough to cause him to go into hiding and to avoid everyone.

Unfortunately… painfully, including you. 

You find your mind drifting back to him every day - during your lectures, at work, at home, whenever you’re spending time with Helaena and you’re trying so hard to simply not just pester her about her brother. 

You think back to those secret moments you shared in crowded rooms, up in their penthouse, whenever Aegon would throw a party. Back then, you did not know one another yet, not really. But he would sit on the couch adjacent to yours, shoot you a smile, and silently keep you company while you wait for Helaena to return. He did so because he could sense that you were anxious, and that loud gatherings aren’t really your thing, as he revealed to you when you were… dating. As short of a time as that might have been. 

Gradually, you got to know him, in all those rare moments. His knowing, mischievous smiles. The subtitles nuances in his expression. His calculated manner of speaking.

You knew him, you had him, you lost him. Well, you do still know him - he is your friend, is he not? But it just as well could have been the end, the night of the accident. He has become a kind of spectre to you, leaving you yearning for what could have been. 

Weekends offer some respite from the whole ordeal of having to miss him. Your job at the bookstore allows you to just sit in silence, entertain customers once in a while, and bury your nose in your book-of-the-week.

Once in a while, a friend even drops by. This time, Jace burst through the entryway, bell chiming in his wake, beaming with a brown takeaway bag in one hand.

“Hey, stranger,” you put down your novel, and leave your post on the counter to greet your dear friend with a tight hug. Jace takes note of the fact that your smile doesn’t reach your eyes, and his spirits sink. But he immediately gets to work on making you feel better.

“I’d say you’re going to love me for this, but you probably do already,” he says, presenting you with the paper bag.

“Don’t be so sure,” you jokingly say, narrowing your eyes at him, before peering inside, hit with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and pastries.

You shrug, starting to dig in with no hesitation. “Actually, good of you to be sure.”

He laughs as you drop the bag on the counter, and rip it open to reveal all the goods. He takes his own coffee and leans closer to have a bite of the profiterole you eagerly wave in front of his face.

“Thanks,” you manage to puff out, with a mouthful of pastry. 

“Anytime, sweet.” Jace swallows, giving you a once over. “How are you holding up?”

It’s hard to act all nonchalant when he gives me those puppy-dog eyes. Jace’s innate sincerity almost makes you want to just cave in and vent all about Aemond.  “Nice of you to be concerned, but it’s not like I was the one who got into an accident.”

“I know, sassy, but I also know that you and Aemond were… you have seen him recently, no?” he asks, sounding certain of the answer to his question, which downright confuses you.

“No,” you shake your head. “Along with the rest of the city, I haven’t seen nor heard anything from him.”

“Really?” he remarks, incredulous.

“Come on, Jace,” you take a comforting sip of coffee, still warm. “You know this. He doesn’t want to see me.”

“Huh,” his head tilts back slightly as he mulls over your response. “It’s just…”

“What?”

“I could’ve sworn that was his car parked across the street. Right outside.” he says, jutting his thumb over his shoulder. You freeze, but your eyes are drawn straight toward the shop windows.

“That’s not - ,” That’s not possible, you want to say. But your feet already drag you to the edge of the shop, with Jace in tow. “Which one is his?” you ask, knowing Aemond’s got quite a few cars, privileged boy that he is. Your voice comes out in a hushed tone, as if you don’t want Aemond himself to hear. Ridiculous, you chide yourself, it probably isn’t even him.

“That silver Jaguar idling on the curb,” Jace answers, and you see it. Slantwise on the opposite side of the road, stopped right before the bus stop across the bookshop.

“Are you sure?”What the hell could he be here for? You didn’t want to admit it, but you feel the hope right in your bones. You want him here, of course. You want him to come see you.

“Yes,” Jace easily replies. “There’s only one vehicle in the city with that personalized plate."

Before you can stop yourself, you take a tentative step outside, hand still on the shop door.. I’m sure he can see me, if he’s really there.

The windows of the Jaguar have the darkest tint, making it nearly impossible to see inside. 

“That’s him,” Jace says from behind you. “He doesn’t let anyone else drive his cars. I even thought he was already inside the shop when I arrived.”

“Well shit,” you breathe, your heart racing in your chest. “What do I do?”

“What is he doing?”

“Fuck it.” You only manage to take a step forward on the sidewalk before the car roars to life, engine purring smoothly. Aemond maneuvers the car from its spot and leaves, driving right past you, a cloud of leaves and dust billowing all around.

“What the fuck?” Jace scoffs, thoughtfully waving his arm around to keep the dust from your face. “What is he on?”

“Aemond,” his name escapes your lips in a soft whisper. A silent plea that will never reach him, but you say it all the same. That it doesn’t matter to you, whatever state he is in after the accident. That even though he chose Alys over you, you can understand, or at least try to. He is still the same boy who captured your heart not so long ago. 

But why did he just leave? What is he so scared of?

“Come on,” Jace says, holding the door open for you. “Your coffee’s getting cold.”

When you go past the entryway, you turn on your heel and hang up the ‘On a break. Come back soon’ sign on the door. Sighing heavily, you shrug at Jace, “What a day, huh. You sure know how to bring drama with you.”

Jace only smiles, well-used to your banter, “How is this my fault?”

“I dunno,” you raise your hands, and walk back to the counter. You’re not sure how you feel at the moment - anxious, worried, disappointed? It’s all up in a haze since Aemond suspiciously drove off, and so, you can’t control the flood of dry sarcasm spilling out of you. Like some kind of coping mechanism. “You must have called Aemond here, so you two can drive my poor heart into a frenzy. Like I don’t already have a lot on my plate.”

“Oh yeah, definitely.” Jace slowly nods, playing along. “Aemond hasn’t even spoken to me since everything went down. But I definitely sought him out today, and definitely forced him to watch you from out there in his car like some obsessed creep.”

“I knew it!”

-----------------------------

Fifteen minutes into your impromptu break, the tone has lightened to some degree, and you sit at a corner table with Jace, sipping the remains of your coffee.

After a lot more banter, and catching up about Luke, Joff, and the rest of his family - those who can still tolerate your presence,that is - Jace finds you staring blankly at a bookshelf. “Hey,” he says, “I don’t think my uncle is hiding in between those books.”

“Ha-ha.”

“Anyway, enough about him, eh?” Jace offers, taking your hand from across the table. “I actually wanted to ask you something.”

You squeeze his hand in return, staring back into his doe brown eyes, “Yeah?”

“Seeing as Aemond isn’t taking you to the Dragonstone ball,” he pauses, gauging your reaction. He decides that it’s all good when you remain impassive, “How would you like to come with me instead? I did mean to ask you, you know, but dear uncle beat me to it.”

“Oh.” Your hand loosens around his a bit, as you take in his words. “Well, I mean I would love to but - ”

Jace adds quickly, as if he is already reading the thoughts whirring through your mind. “No pretenses about it, I assure you. I’m not expecting anything else. Just that you honour me by being my partner to the ball.”

“Mmm,” your shoulders relax, and you find yourself smiling at Jace’s heartfelt nature. One that immediately warmed you to him when you first met. “Partners, huh?”

His tongue makes a clicking sound in confirmation. “What do you say?” 

“Jace,” you start, weighing the options in your mind. “I would go with you, of course - ”

“That settles it then.”

“- but I just… I don’t know, if… Aemond does not want to see me, maybe I shouldn’t just show up at the ball?”

Jace rolls his eyes, “He doesn’t own the bloody ball, you know. He can’t control whether you come or not.” He leans in, voice lowering like he’s sharing a devious ploy, “Besides, if he doesn’t want to see you, then why would he be loitering across the street simply to watch you through the shop windows? Let’s be real now, eh?”

Fair point. You reply, “Far be it from me to know what he’s up to.”

“So come to the ball with me and ask him yourself. I’ll even back you up. With my own pitchfork and everything.” The way his eyes blaze in excitement sparks something in you. Being around Jace is always fun, like you’re free to do anything - you could even cause any kind of trouble and he would only be cheering you on. 

If only… if only you liked him the way you do a certain someone, then you might actually have a greater sense of calm. Your self-doubt might be assuaged, your days brighter. 

But no. It is Aemond who fills your wandering thoughts. Aemond who haunts your sleepless nights. It was him who nearly made your heart stop that night on their rooftop, who laughed with you and held you close when you were a fumbling, wine-stained mess. 

Perhaps unfortunately so… it is Aemond whom you love.

That realization makes you straighten in your seat, scaring some sense back into you. Fuck, what am I even thinking? It’s Jace right in front of me. Jace who is asking me to the ball. 

“You got yourself a deal, mister,” you playfully hold your hand out for him to shake.

-----------------------------

Later that night, the Targaryen penthouse in the Crownlands Tower is relatively quiet. Most of the family is away, save for Helaena, their housekeeper Talia…

… and Aemond, who sits in front of his desk, staring at the object atop it which is aglow under lamplight. His eye drifts to the metal surface of the lampshade itself, and he sees it. A scar stretched from his forehead to his cheekbone, with its edges tinged with maroon. 

Revolting. It’ll take some time to heal, they all say. Well it’s been two long fucking months, and it doesn’t feel any better. Nothing feels right.

It isn’t fair, his mother wailed upon seeing him. None of this is. It was the rogue Lucerys’ fault, she insisted, for egging Aemond to go on a damned speed chase in the middle of fucking storm.

His father Viserys merely appraised him for a long moment, before mumbling something that sounded like, “I am sorry this happened, but you’ll be alright”. Then to his mother, “Lucerys is injured as well. This is what they’ve always done, as you know. Luke and Aemond don’t really get along but they’re grown now.”

He added with a warning gaze to Aemond, “They have to learn to be civil to one another. We are all family, after all.”

“Family,” Alicent spat the word like a curse. “Family should not be the cause of grievous harm.”

Aemond remembers the shrug that Viserys did. It is a gesture he has seen endlessly, it might even be the first thing he remembers of his father. All of his pains, and his achievements will always be met with a nonchalant gesture. Some father he is.

There’s only one thing that would make Aemond feel better in this moment, and even that, he cannot allow himself to have. He shall not present himself, this self, to you. He looks at his reflection and he hates what he sees. Perhaps he always has. But he also learned to love himself around you. How easy it can be, like second nature. 

Maybe he was drawn to the fact that you are not from his world, with all its intrigue and playacting. How you choose not to perceive status as a tool, and how you can be kind to anyone. You, the girl who always keeps a book in her bag, even at parties, even if she most likely won’t have time to read it. Just in case, you had said, you never know. You, though very well-mannered, called one of Helaena’s so-called friends a “spoiled cunt”, when you heard her making nasty jokes at Helaena’s expense behind her back.

“Sorry you had to hear that,” you had said to Aemond in a grumbling tone, still quite irate, when you found out that he was just in the library adjacent to their living room. “They were just being so… so…”

“Fucking rude?” he finished your thought, his dimples showing in amusement when your eyes widened. “Don’t worry, doll. Maybe I would have done the same. Though that Beatrice would never say shit about Helaena in front of me, seeing as she tried to claw off my jacket once. Her fake nail got caught in the leather. Her attempt at seduction, I suppose.”

Your mouth fell open, then closed once more. You were at a loss. Your blood was just boiling at having to confront Beatrice, who has thankfully left the penthouse, and now Aemond is standing in front of you. Aemond, sharing some story, in good humour. About some girl trying to get with him, and failing. Later on, you will find yourself jumping in frustration in your living room, thinking how in the hell your mind must have short-circuited because you responded with, “It’s a good thing I keep my fingernails trimmed and plain then.”

It was Aemond's turn to stand there, lips parted in surprise at your sudden show of audacity. Where has this girl been hiding all this time? Or has she always been this way? Then your face morphs into one of shock, and you remain still, waiting for some other pin to drop. Something to distract Aemond so you can mumble some excuse and run away. Aemond observes the minute changes in your expression, like you’re struggling to get your bearings, and he finds it all endearing.

Suddenly, the door you had been leaning against is pried open, making you take a step closer to Aemond. An unruly, blonde mop of hair that can only belong to Aegon pokes itself inside, “What are you nerds doing in the damn library?”, then he turns on his heel letting the door slowly close on its hinges, “Never mind, I’m gonna get a drink!”

At the exact same time, you and Aemond burst out in a fit of laughter, the pure and melodic sound of it echoing throughout the room. The very first time that Aemond witnessed you laughing freely in front of him, and his thoughts would later drift back to this moment. To the way your eyes lit up, how your teeth clamped down on your bottom lip to keep from laughing harder, and how your dainty hand clasped his forearm, holding on to him for a while.

He did not know then, not yet at least, that he had started falling for you.

When your desire had become apparent, you did not attempt to cross a line. Correctly inferring that Aemond valued his solitude, you became content with admiring him from afar, treasuring every small interaction. 

Everyone keeps remarking at how different he is around you, and maybe you do not realize the truth of their claims, because you had never seen him… like this. So broken. His mask of composure torn to shreds.

No longer the caring, attentive, and self-assured Aemond you claimed to desire. 

“Aemond?” Helaena's voice drifts from his door, which is opened narrowly. She silently lets herself inside when he does not respond.

“Care for some dinner?” she asks, her gentle voice almost breaking through Aemond’s resolve. Perhaps it might have been able to, but not anymore.

“No, I’m not hungry.” Aemond answers, barely audible.

“Right.” Helaena doesn’t press further; she knows that nothing will shake her brother while he’s in such a state, so she tries to bring up something else. Something that might get his attention. “So, I, uh… y/n just called me.”

Helaena notices Aemond slightly tense up at the mention of your name. So that’s what it takes, she thinks.

“Aemond,” she steps closer, now standing beside his chair. “Why were you outside the bookstore where she works?”

Aemond shuts his eyes. Of course you had seen him. And he saw you, clear as day. Beautiful as ever. With bloody Jace right next to you, laughing while sharing some coffee he had brought. 

“She misses you, you know,” Helaena says, and the words drive straight through Aemond’s heart. “I really think you just should speak to her.”

“Hmm.”

“What are you even afraid of?”

A long pause, as Helaena waits for a reply. Fidgeting with the edge of her sweater, she begins to say something more, when Aemond finally says, in a muffled, reluctant tone, “She deserves better.”

“Of course she does!” Helaena perches on the edge of Aemond’s desk, and his eye drifts over her for just a second, before looking down at the object again. “So call her and - ”

“Better than me.” Aemond clarifies, croaking the final word as if in pain.

“Oh, Aemond.” Helaena’s lifts an arm in an attempt to offer comfort, but Aemond instinctively flinches.

“No.” He breathes. “I can’t.”

Helaena nods in understanding, though her heart aches at the sight of her brother like this. She looks to the side, and sees the journal-seeming object sitting on his brother’s desk. The thing he seems to be staring at. 

Helaena lets her fingers run over the smooth forest green cover, and she instantly recognizes it to be Valyrian leather. A rare commodity, so this must not be just any ordinary journal.

“May I?” she whispers, to which her brother shrugs in response.

She gently pries open the leather clasp, and she sees a dedication on the first page, in a swooping scrawl that can only be Aemond’s. Some special ink was used, staining the page with a deep shade of maroon. It reads in High Valyrian, their native language - Ñuha prūmia iksis aōhon.

“I meant to give that to her… before…”

My heart is yours.

“Aemond-” Helaena mutters, her mind stuck on the words, and she knows exactly who they are meant for.

Aemond abruptly rises from his seat, and puts on his black coat, “Just put that back where you found it.” Reaching for something else on his desk, he puts it on his face to conceal his deformity.

Before her brother reaches the door, Helaena manages to voice out, “Where are you going?”

“Away.”

Two weeks before the Dragonstone ball

The accident finally seems to have departed from the mainstream, turning into fodder for small talk as all sensational news pieces do. 

Unsurprisingly, despite the tragic event, excitement abounds. The city is buzzing in anticipation. Everyone is already poring over the main list of attendees which has been made public online. You only glanced at it once to confirm that you are on the list as Jace’s partner, but something else catches your attention. You immediately close the tab in your browser after you read - Aemond Targaryen - and across from his name, as his designated partner - Alys Rivers.

“For fuck’s sake,” you sigh, biting your lip. You opt to open Youtube, but immediately your homepage reminds you of your recent activities. Not stalking, no. Just some curious research. Aemond has never been one to give interviews. That’s more in Aegon’s wheelhouse. Daeron especially, since he also works as a model, gracing the front cover of Vogue thrice already at only 22. 

When Aegon graces the headlines, it’s most likely due to some disorderly conduct at a high-class party or a local dive bar. True to his brand, there is no in-between when it comes to Aegon. It’s either go big or go home. Which usually means he ends up drunk on the sidewalk, having to call Aemond to pick him up and give him a ride without letting their parents know.

But they always find out, of course. It’s hard to be discreet when you’re one of the most recognizable faces in the country.

As for Aemond, you’ve always found it hard to find even a single crumb of him from the internet. Save for a couple of sightings, including those of him and Alys Rivers, and clippings from the few times when he would speak in press conferences on behalf of Dragonstone. But even those were kept mostly private, and not freely available on Youtube. 

As it happens, there have been some rumours of Aemond allegedly coming into blows with the Duke of Lannister and his entourage, after humiliating the man’s sister. Onlookers claimed that they saw the poor girl coming onto Aemond at some party in Pentos, flirting with him. Apparently, he was far from welcoming of her affections. There were some pictures of the fight, or at least, that’s what people say. You were not in the loop when the news spread, sitting through a lecture. Any trace of such pictures quickly vanished from the internet. The Targaryens are always on the lookout to protect their precious image, but they’ve never done anything so methodical when it comes to such occurrences, such as Aegon’s countless mishaps. 

Aemond does have an Instagram profile. You asked him about it once, ages ago, even before your brief - what would you call it… Tryst? Dating period? Well, whatever it was, it’s all done for now.

“Was it your idea to have a profile anyway?” you asked him, after he had playfully teased you about stalking him. That was the only verified account of Aemond’s that you found, complete with the blue tick. His profile was empty, and the following list was at a whopping zero. Though of course, he had about 3.7 million followers, just waiting for the moment that he would choose to do anything on the site.

“Yeah, I suppose.” Aemond looked down and smiled, and you did not know it, but he found himself feeling warm due to the interest you were giving him. He’s confident about nearly everything, but when on the receiving end of attention from the woman he secretly longed for, he felt almost shy. “It was mostly due to the fact that I wanted to have one sole verified account online. I’ve heard talks of impersonators sending people messages and all that. Fucking annoying.”

“Ah, yeah.” You did not tell him, of course, but you knew of those fake accounts, having clicked on several slightly convincing ones to see if they were actually his. But none of them matched. You found yourself muttering, “He would never post that.”

“Didn’t hurt that I got to look through your pictures, too, love.” He smirked then, regaining his confidence. 

You nearly melted into a puddle on the fancy designer-carpeted floors of their apartment, right then and there.

That doesn’t matter now. You sigh, slamming your laptop shut. Instead you choose to dramatically jump onto your bed and growl your frustrations out onto a pillow. 

You roll over, amused at the whole thing. The digital alarm clock Helaena gave you reads 6:32 pm, it’s a Friday night, and you’re left with nothing to do. You’ve already finished the majority of your exams, and for the next month or two, you’re free to go on holiday and do whatever you wish.

But what? You finally decide to give Helaena a call, and reach for your phone on the nightstand. But right then, it lights up. ‘Hel’s Bells’ is calling you. An inside joke the two of you came up with about a week after you met.

“Speak of the devil,” you smile, and press accept. “Hel! I hope you’re just about as bored as I am.”

She laughs on the other end, “I don’t even have time to be bored. Mother has us doing all these preparations for the ball.”

“Do you need any help? I’m no expert at pomp and pageantry but I’ll do my best.” She had just stayed at your apartment a few nights ago for a sleepover, and you noticed that she was careful when mentioning anything about the ball. Trying not to stray into Aemond and Alys territory for your sake, you assumed.

“Sure, come over whenever you want. I don’t really have any idea what it’s all for, but hey, at least we get to put on fancy dresses and look pretty.”

“Oh, you always look pretty,” you say sincerely. 

“Thank you, doll,” she says, before sighing dramatically. “Anyway, I actually called to tell you something. You’re going to come over to our place on Sunday night. We’re throwing a little party.”

“A party, huh.” Will Aemond be there, you wanted to ask, but held back. 

You haven’t seen him for the last three months, after the fateful night of the accident. There was that incident when he parked outside the bookstore, but it was barely anything. 

Word on the street is that the ‘Prince of the city’ had gone into hiding, as comical as that sounds to you. For what exactly? There has been speculation - perhaps he was left horribly disfigured from the accident, which is also why there isn’t any trace of the alleged pictures taken of him in Pentos. But Helaena immediately dissuaded that notion. My brother is not disfigured, she insisted when you brought it up, he’s simply recovering.

If Aemond wants to keep things to himself, then he has the right to do so. He would tell you if he wanted. Call you, send you a message. Anything. 

“A party,” Helaena repeats. “It’ll be for our inner circle. Which includes you, of course. A little prequel to the ball, so everyone can catch up with each other.”

“Aegon’s idea?” you guessed with a wry smile. 

“There might be a direct correlation there, yeah,” Helaena laughs. “Anyway, come over! Since you’re coming with Jace to the ball, then we have to plan everything for you, too! What colour dress do you want to wear? Well, there is a theme but we’ll work with that. Mum assigned a stylist and hairdresser for me, which means they’re for you too and - ”

“Hel, I don’t really need - ”

Then she says something that puts a stop to your protest. “Oh, Aemond won’t know what’ll hit him.”

“Huh.” The thought of seeing Aemond again gives you a surge of excitement. And nervousness. Your yearning for him reawakens, but it never truly left.

Having made her point, Helaena knows she’s got you hook, line and sinker. “I’ll expect you in the next hour.”

-----------------------------

Sunday came rolling over soon enough, and the party at the Targaryen penthouse is well under way.

The ballroom on the 2nd floor is packed, filled with people whom you either don’t know or barely recognize. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without some snooty heirs and heiresses who would openly regard you with what could be confusion or derision. Until a Targaryen or Velaryon would approach you and eagerly whisk you away in conversation.

“Who is she?” you hear someone say when Jace takes your hand and directs you to sit on the couch with him and Daeron. “Why is Jace so close to her? And what on earth is she wearing?”

Unfazed by it all, and already used to such comments, you smile sweetly in that girl’s direction and greet her with a friendly, “Hi, how are you doing?”, without giving her a chance to respond.

Jace watches the exchange proudly. As you sit down, he says, “Aegon invited her, I think. I don’t really know, I don’t like her much.”

“How come?” you jest. “You two have so much in common. Heirs to the kingdom and all that.” Your sarcasm again comes out of you in waves, trying to temper your nerves. You look around the room, though it is not the first time you’ve scanned through everything. 

“I’d much prefer your company,” Jace easily says, then notices your divided attention. “He isn’t here.”

In a transparent attempt at surprise, you ask,“Who?”

Daeron overhears the exchange, after his friend stands up to get a drink. “Aemond’s not here, y/n. At least I haven’t seen him. Last I heard he was holed up in our holiday estate in Pentos.”

“Oh.” Your face visibly falls. You didn’t know what to expect, really. Of course Aemond would  not just show up at this party after avoiding everyone for too long.

“He will be at the Dragonstone ball though,” Daeron pats your knee in sympathy. “He might be going through some shit, but mum would lynch him if he misses that event.”

Jace and Daeron continue to look at you, seeing if they need to offer more comfort, and you can’t stand it. “Alright, you two. Thanks for… I don’t know… but this is a party! We should just go and have fun. No need to be concerned about me and…” You choke up at his name, negating your false show of indifference. 

“Okay,” Jace says, saving you from saying anything further. “How about I get you a drink, hmm?”

“Yeah,” you say, but something crosses your mind. You stand at the same time as Jace, grabbing his arm, “Actually, I’ll go get some air first.”

“Are you alright?” This time, Jace’s sincere gaze is not enough to distract you from that familiar gnawing ache.

“I am,” you smile placatingly. “I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

-----------------------------

Aemond Targaryen, contrary to what everyone in the party believes, is no longer wasting his days in Pentos. 

He had slipped back into the city earlier that night, and in the safety of their 7-floor penthouse. Right in time for the revelry. He has no intention of making an appearance, but when Helaena let it slip that you would be attending, he could not help himself.

The fact that you would be under the same roof was enough to get Aemond to scurry back home. While he might not be ready to show himself just yet, there are methods which allow him to see you. Watch you.

Helaena would probably smack him upside the head, if she found out. That not only had Aemond come back without telling her, but also that he is watching her friend through the CCTV cameras littered throughout the penthouse. 

Perhaps it is unsavoury, and you might cross your arms and huff at him if you found out. Oh, what I would give to see that in person. But he’ll take what he can get. Do what he must. To still have you, still see you. 

His left knuckle is taut, still bandaged and bruised from his recent activities. Luckily, the stitches on his face had not come loose and the medical treatment his mother is putting him through has done considerable wonders. What would you think, I wonder, if you saw me like this, my love.

His laptop is propped up on his desk, right next to the green journal he means to give you. On the screen, he watches as you trail Helaena for a while. As you sit alone, watching everything unfold. As Jace comes for you, and you sit together on a couch. Too close. Too comfortable for Aemond’s liking. Is something going on between you and my fucking Strong nephew? 

When news reached him that you would be coming to the ball with Jace, Aemond had broken something. He can barely remember what it was, just the sound of it shattering against the wall. A wine bottle? A vase? A mirror? Whatever it was sent his company fleeing from their table, and Criston had rushed forward to make sure that he wasn’t harmed.

Aemond glares at the screen you walk after Jace and whisper something close to his ear. 

Jace regards you for a long while. He better not…

But then you nod and smile, stepping away from him. Aemond finds himself breathing a sigh of relief, predictably, and he almost snorts at his own reaction. 

You walk out of the ballroom, and Aemond has to switch between cameras to follow your path. You pause down the hallway, and lean next to the wall.

What are you doing, ñuha jorrāelagon?

Seemingly decided on something, you swing the door to the staircase, forgoing the elevator. The cameras on each landing track you as you continue to climb upward, panting slightly when you finally reach the entrance to the rooftop.

You take slow, sure steps toward the golden railing. For a moment, you just stand there, seemingly watching the city below.

I have to see you. I have to try. In a split decision, Aemond slinkers out of his room, the party below still unaware of his presence. 

Then he heads up the flight of stairs as you had done, feeling more apprehensive with each step. What do I even say to you? Do you still want to see me? He finally reaches the final landing, and heart in his throat, he pries the door open as silently as possible.

You no longer stand at the railing. Instead, he spies you sitting on the plush seat the two of you shared on that one night. Facing away from the entrance, looking up at the stars. 

Aemond knows that isn’t as it was before. He cannot simply approach you and watch as your eyes immediately welcome the sight of him. It’s not the same, and it is all his fault. He wonders if your heart might still race because of him, or will it have become cold, after all this time?

He draws closer, with each footstep uncertain. But your pull is stronger, taking precedence over all of his worries. 

“I miss you,” is all he can bring himself to say, throwing caution to the wind. You freeze at the sound of his voice. 

Then a shiver runs up his spine as it dawns on him - in his haste to see you, he left his eyepatch in his room below.

-----------------------------

I must be dreaming. The hairs along your arms stand in your shock, and you keep both hands flat on the seat to keep you steady. 

Is it… You start to turn back, but cease all movement when Aemond pleads, “Don’t. Please don’t turn around.”

“Aemond?” your voice is shaky, and you feel a tear threaten to escape. “They said… we all thought…”

“They do not know that I am back yet,” he answers. “Just you.”

“Oh.” Your head is still turned to the side, and you have to fight the urge to simply rise from your seat and face him. You exhale, trying to calm down. When that doesn’t work, you lean back against the seat, and force yourself to count the windows on the building down the road. 

6… 7… 8… 

But the sudden feeling of his hands on your shoulders makes you lose all train of thought.

“Did you miss me?” Aemond asks, standing right behind your seat now, his sweater grazing the back of your head.

Your mind is flooded with thoughts of all that happened between the two of you - the beginning, the brief affair, the end. Is it the end? 

Answer him. “Did I miss you?” you bite your lip, and your brows scrunch in frustration. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Your expletive makes Aemond take a step back. “I-I’m sorry…”

“I’ve been so worried about you, Aemond!” Your hands bunch up into fists beside you. You did not realize you had all this pent up anger, with the past few months being spent pining. Longing. Yearning. Like some silly little fool. When he didn’t even make any effort to reach out to you, and the most you got from him was that episode outside the bookstore.

“Oh yeah, and what the hell were you doing outside my place of work?” you stand then, and lean against the railing in front of you, careful not to turn and catch a glimpse of him. “You wanted to speak to me? Well, why didn’t you just do that?” You can feel your erratic heartbeat pounding in your chest, and for a moment you become afraid that it might just stop altogether. 

“I did want to speak to you. To see you.” Aemond sighs heavily. “I always want to see you, my darling. You’re all I’ve ever thought about since - ”

“Yeah, right. I bet you did.” You threw the offhand accusation over your shoulder.

“I did,” Aemond swears. “I miss you every day, I -”

His voice is softer than before, and kind of nervous. Your resolve is at risk of breaking, because… Why does Aemond sound… broken?

He finishes, “I just needed some time.”

There are so many more that you want to ask him - What really happened in that accident? Where have you been all this time? What is going on with you and Alys? Where do we truly stand?

But instead you mutter the one thing you are most certain of, “I miss you too.”

Aemond breathes a sigh of relief. He moves to stand behind you, and steps closer. 

Closer. You don’t dare move a muscle, because you just might turn around and forget about his request. He moves closer, until his chest is pressed against you from behind. Closer, until his hands squeeze both of yours on the railing.

You feel Aemond rest his face on your shoulder, inhaling deeply. At this point, he is practically enveloping you. Each breath he takes warms your neck. His thumbs run over your knuckles, and he says, “Are you still angry at me?”

“Should I be?” You lean your head back to rest on his right shoulder. From the corner of your eye, he looks as he always has. Almost ethereal, with his silver-blonde Targaryen hair and sharp, defined features. 

Aemond moves his head slightly toward the left, careful not to reveal the ruined side to you, when he feels your wandering gaze. 

“Please don’t be angry with me,” he pleads. You hum in affirmation, and in a lower voice, he purrs, “Close your eyes, darling.”

You try to ask why, but then you feel his lips lightly press against the nook between your neck and your shoulders. Your eyes flutter shut on their own goddamn volition.

His mouth parts even more, before coming down once again and nipping at your skin. His arms wrap themselves around your waist, and his hold tightens until your entire body is flush against him.

Still, you haven’t seen all of him. 

Your hand reaches up to touch him, and your fingertips graze the side of his face. When your thumb runs over a bit of what must be raised flesh, like some partially healed lesion, Aemond jumps away. At once, you feel the cool evening air hit you, the warmth of his embrace having gone.

“What is - ” you start to ask.

“It’s nothing.”

“Aemond…” you hesitate. What could possibly be so terrible, he won’t even allow me to look at him? “If anything happened to the way you look… it wouldn’t matter to me. You would still be the same boy that I lo - ” The words hitch in your throat, their sentiment heavier than anything you’ve ever said. 

Everything is at a standstill. Aemond does not say a single word, but you know that he understood what you were trying to say. He must.

And how can I even gauge his reaction when I can’t even look at him?

“Aemond?” 

Much to your surprise, his voice is already farther away when he responds with a hurried, “I’ll see you at the ball.” 

You swiftly turn around in your disbelief. Did he just fucking leave? 

The door to the penthouse shuts behind him, and you are left dumbfounded at his actions. The old Aemond would have never done that to you, but what do you know?

Perhaps my Aemond is truly gone.

The ball is coming up next!!! Reader may finally learn to let go of Aemond, or at least give him what he wants - a whole lot of space and time.

Also, reminder - Aemond's injury is still pretty fresh, considering the damage. So no, he hasn't stuck a sapphire in there yet. Imagine how little Aemond looked in episode 7, with angry stitches running down his face, but a bit more healed. His eye socket is still sewn shut, and it still causes him much pain, so go easy on our boy, y'all.

warnings: long , fluff

aemond targareyen x y/n

Aemond sat in his dimly lit study, the soft glow of the lamp casting long shadows across the room. His mind was restless, consumed by thoughts of Y/n. He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling as if it might provide the answers he sought. The memory of her playing the piano, her fingers gracefully dancing over the keys, was still vivid in his mind. He could almost hear the echoes of her music, feel the subtle pull of her presence.

He sighed, running a hand through his long, silver hair. Finding her number wouldn’t be difficult. In fact, he already had it, tucked away in the depths of his phone, a result of the meticulous background checks that his family routinely conducted on their guests. But simply calling her out of the blue? That felt wrong. He didn’t want to come across as invasive or desperate, even though that’s exactly how he felt.

“What would I even say?” he muttered to himself, frustrated. “How did I get your number? I have connections in places you wouldn't expect.” He winced at the thought. That would definitely make a lousy impression. She’d probably think he was a stalker or, worse, just another overbearing Targaryen accustomed to getting his way.

No, calling her was out of the question. It had to be something more natural, more... coincidental. But how? How could he arrange to meet her again without making it obvious that he had planned everything? He tapped his fingers on the desk, deep in thought.'

If only there was a way he could just run into her, something that didn’t feel contrived or forced. Somewhere they could talk, away from the formality of parties and the scrutiny of others. Maybe at a coffee shop, or perhaps near the stables again. He could ask her about Vhagar, mention how the horse seemed to have taken a liking to her. That would be an easy, natural conversation starter.

But the chances of randomly running into her seemed slim. Y/n didn’t strike him as the type to frequent the same places as he did, and he wasn’t exactly known for his casual strolls around town. He frowned, feeling the weight of his dilemma.

Perhaps... perhaps he could create the opportunity. A reason for her to visit the Targaryen estate again, or maybe he could find out where she liked to go. It would be a delicate balance, making it seem like fate rather than a calculated move. He had to be careful, had to make sure he didn’t scare her off.

As he pondered the possibilities, a small smirk played at the corner of his lips. He wasn’t used to feeling this way—unsure, almost nervous—but he couldn’t deny the thrill that came with it. She was different, special, and he wasn’t going to let this chance slip away. One way or another, he would see her again, and this time, he would ask for her number himself.

And then, he’d make sure that no one—not even the fates—could take her away from him.Y/n stood in the serene expanse of the city stables, her heart swelling with familiarity and excitement. The scent of hay and horses filled the air, mingling with the fresh morning breeze. She loved this place; it was one of the few spots where she felt completely at ease, away from the chaos of college and the expectations that often weighed her down.

Among the many horses, her favorite stood out—a beautiful black mare named Ebony. Y/n had spent countless hours with Ebony since she was a child, forging a bond that went beyond mere companionship. The mare’s glossy coat shimmered under the sunlight, and Y/n couldn’t help but smile as she approached, reaching out to stroke Ebony’s neck.

“Ready for a ride, girl?” she asked softly, her voice filled with warmth. Ebony nickered in response, as if to say she was always ready for an adventure.

Y/n gently placed the saddle on Ebony’s back, her hands deftly securing the straps. She felt the familiar thrill of anticipation coursing through her. Horse riding had always been a passion, a freedom that allowed her to escape her worries. It was a connection to nature, to something primal and beautiful. As she mounted the horse, she felt the comforting sway of Ebony beneath her, a sensation that brought back fond memories of her childhood.

With a gentle squeeze of her legs, she urged Ebony forward, and they began to trot out of the stables. The world around her faded as she focused on the rhythm of the horse’s movements, the sound of hooves thudding against the earth, and the wind whipping through her hair. She allowed herself to get lost in the ride, the stresses of her life slipping away with every stride.

Y/n guided Ebony along the winding paths of the stable grounds, savoring the sensation of freedom. She marveled at the trees that lined the path, their leaves rustling gently in the breeze. The sun was warm on her skin, and she breathed in the fresh air, feeling invigorated and alive.

As they rode, she thought back to her recent visit to the Targaryen estate. The memory of Aemond flashed through her mind—the way he’d stood by Vhagar, the striking aura he exuded. She shook her head, trying to dispel the thoughts. No, she couldn’t think about him now. Not while she was enjoying her ride.

But a part of her couldn’t help it. She remembered how he’d seemed genuinely pleased to see her with Vhagar, the way his expression softened. It was a stark contrast to the fearsome reputation he carried.

Y/n focused on the trail ahead, letting the rhythm of Ebony’s gait soothe her thoughts. Perhaps she could come back to the Targaryen estate sometime, maybe to see Vhagar again, or even Aemond, though that thought brought a flutter of nerves to her stomach.

After riding for a while, she decided to take a break. She found a small clearing, dismounted, and tied Ebony’s reins to a low branch. As she sat on the grass, she let out a contented sigh, her heart full. Riding had always been her sanctuary, a place where she could be herself, free from the expectations of the world.

Closing her eyes, she listened to the sounds of nature around her—the gentle rustle of leaves, the distant chirping of birds, and the soft whinny of horses. It was moments like these that reminded her of the simple joys in life, a moment of peace in an otherwise chaotic world.“Hey,” Haleana said with a bright smile as she approached, her hair flowing like silk in the gentle breeze.

Y/n's heart raced slightly at the sight of another Targaryen. She wondered if they were everywhere. But Haleana seemed different—more approachable, more like her.

“Hi!” Y/n replied, forcing a smile as she brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear. “What brings you here?”

“I’m here for my etymology research,” Haleana explained, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. “I’ve been studying the names of plants and animals in this area. There’s so much history tied to them, you know?”

“That sounds fascinating! I love learning about the history behind names,” Y/n said, genuinely intrigued. “I often come here to ride my horse, Ebony. It’s one of my favorite places.”

“Ebony? What a beautiful name!” Haleana said, her voice warm. “I’d love to see her sometime. Horses are such incredible creatures.”

“She really is,” Y/n replied, pride swelling in her chest. “We’ve been together since I was a little girl. Riding is one of the few things that brings me pure joy.”

“I get that,” Haleana nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. “I’ve always felt a deep connection to nature, too. It’s refreshing to escape the expectations of our lives, isn’t it?”

“Absolutely,” Y/n said, relieved to find common ground. “Sometimes I feel like I’m expected to fit into a mold that doesn’t quite suit me. Riding helps me feel free.”

Haleana laughed softly. “I understand completely. Sometimes I wish I could just run away with my books and spend all my time studying without the pressures of nobility.”

“Exactly! It’s like the world outside has so many limitations,” Y/n added, her heart feeling lighter. “But here, it’s just me and Ebony.”

“I’d love to join you sometime,” Haleana said, her eyes brightening. “Maybe we can go for a ride together! I’ve always wanted to learn more about horses.”

“Really? That would be amazing!” Y/n replied, excitement bubbling within her. “I’d be happy to show you the ropes.”

“Great! I’ll hold you to that,” Haleana said with a smile. “And who knows, maybe I can help you with your research, too. I could use a riding partner.”

“Deal!” Y/n laughed, feeling a warm connection with Haleana. For the first time in a while, she felt at ease in the presence of a Targaryen.

As they chatted, the worries of the world outside faded away, replaced by the simple joy of friendship and shared passions.Haleana’s mind raced with ideas as she watched Y/n’s face light up while talking about her horse. She could see the passion in her eyes, the way she lit up at the thought of riding, and it sparked a plan in her head.

She had heard the whispers about Aemond and his newfound interest in a certain musician, and it didn’t take much for Haleana to connect the dots. Y/n was the missing piece of the puzzle, the girl who had captured her brother’s attention in a way no one else had before.

“Hey, Y/n,” Haleana said casually, a playful glint in her eye. “What if we made a little outing of this? You know, a small gathering of friends for a ride and maybe a picnic afterward?”

Y/n’s eyes widened with curiosity. “That sounds like a lot of fun! But who would come?”

“Well, I could invite a few close friends. And I think it would be the perfect opportunity to invite my brother Aemond, too,” Haleana suggested, gauging Y/n’s reaction.

“Aemond? The Aemond Targaryen?” Y/n asked, her expression a mix of surprise and hesitation. “Is that a good idea? He’s—”

“—intimidating?” Haleana finished, chuckling lightly. “I get that. But trust me, he’s not as scary as people make him out to be. He just needs the right people around him. And I think you could be one of those people.”

Y/n considered this, her heart fluttering at the thought of being around Aemond again. “You really think so?”

“I do!” Haleana replied, her excitement growing. “Plus, it’ll be a small group, and it could be a great way for you two to get to know each other better. You’re both passionate about music and horses. It could be fun!”

Y/n bit her lip, torn between excitement and nervousness. “I guess it could be nice. I just don’t want to make things awkward.”

“I promise it won’t be awkward. Besides, I’ll be there to keep things light and fun,” Haleana assured her, her mind already racing with plans. “And if it goes well, maybe it’ll give Aemond the chance to realize how special you are.”

As Haleana spoke, a smile spread across Y/n’s face. The idea of a casual ride with Aemond and her new friend sounded delightful, even if it was a little nerve-wracking.

“Okay, let’s do it!” Y/n finally agreed, her enthusiasm bubbling over. “I’m in.”

“Fantastic!” Haleana exclaimed, her plan falling perfectly into place. She could already envision the two of them together, Aemond and Y/n, sharing laughter and smiles under the sun. It was time for her brother to see what she saw—a kindred spirit in Y/n, a gentle soul who could balance his fierce heart.

With a twinkle in her eye, Haleana began to formulate the details of their outing, determined to bring Aemond and Y/n closer together.Haleana entered Aemond’s room with a playful bounce in her step, a mischievous twinkle dancing in her eyes. The soft afternoon light streamed in through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the elegantly decorated space. Aemond was seated at his desk, papers strewn about as he pretended to focus on work, but his mind was elsewhere—on Y/n.

“Hey, brother,” Haleana chirped, leaning against the doorframe, her arms crossed playfully.

“How can I help you, Haleana?” Aemond replied, trying to maintain an air of seriousness, though he could feel the corners of his mouth twitching upward at her infectious energy.

“How about a horse ride tomorrow? You can take Vhagar, and I’ll ride Dreamfire over the meadow,” she suggested, her eyes shining with excitement.

Aemond sighed, shaking his head. “I’m busy tomorrow. I have work to do.” His thoughts were tangled in ways to reach Y/n, and the last thing he needed was a diversion, even if it was his sister’s spirited invitation.

“Look, you said you’d do anything to keep your secret safe, so…” Haleana pressed, arching an eyebrow at him, fully aware of how to push his buttons.

“Aemond…” he chided lightly, but a smile crept onto his face despite himself.

“Come on! Just one little ride,” Haleana insisted, stepping closer and placing her hands on her hips in a playful mock of authority. “I promise it’ll be fun. Plus, it’s a perfect way for you to unwind. You can’t be all work and no play!”

Aemond rubbed the back of his neck, feeling the tension ease at her enthusiasm. “Fine, I’ll come,” he finally relented, knowing he wouldn’t win this battle.

Haleana’s face lit up with a triumphant smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “Yes! You won’t regret it! Tomorrow will be perfect,” she declared, already envisioning how the day would unfold.

Aemond felt a mix of curiosity and apprehension about what would happen during the ride. He couldn’t shake the feeling that it would be more than just a casual outing. He would finally have the chance to tell Y/n the truth—that he was her soulmate.

As Haleana bounced out of the room, he couldn’t help but shake his head, a small smile lingering on his lips. He would have to prepare himself for whatever tomorrow would bring, especially with Y/n in mind.The sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden hue over the meadow hills. Aemond and Helaena were already saddled up on their horses, Vhagar and Dreamfire, respectively. Aemond looked every bit the part of a skilled rider, dressed in tailored riding clothes that accentuated his athletic build. Helaena, equally put together, wore a flowing riding outfit that mirrored the vibrant landscape around them.

“So what are we waiting for?” Aemond asked, his impatience barely contained as he adjusted the reins in his hands, eager to gallop into the open fields.

“Just hold on,” Helaena replied, glancing at her watch. There was a spark of excitement in her eyes as she leaned forward, scanning the horizon. “Oh, there she is…”

Aemond turned, and his heart nearly stopped. There, emerging from the path that wound through the trees, was Y/n, riding towards them on a stunning black horse. Her long black hair flowed behind her like a dark banner, and the sunlight glinted off her riding gear, making her look even more enchanting than he remembered.

A sight he never thought he’d see—or even dared to imagine—filled him with awe and disbelief. His heart raced as he took in the scene. “Helaena, what…?” He struggled to find his words, his mind a whirlpool of thoughts and emotions.

“You’re welcome…” Helaena winked at him, barely containing her amusement as Y/n drew closer, a bright smile on her face.

As Y/n approached, Aemond felt a mix of exhilaration and nervousness. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, but his eyes were glued to her, captivated by her presence.

“Hey there!” Y/n called out, her voice light and cheerful. She expertly guided her horse to a stop beside them, looking between the two siblings. “I didn’t expect to see you both here.”

Aemond finally found his voice, though it came out more breathless than he intended. “Neither did I.” His gaze locked onto hers, feeling as if the world around them had faded away.

Helaena chuckled softly, sensing the tension between the two. “I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for you both to ride together. Isn’t it beautiful out here?” She gestured to the sprawling landscape, filled with wildflowers swaying gently in the breeze.

“It’s amazing,” Y/n replied, glancing at Helaena before her eyes drifted back to Aemond. “I love riding here. It’s so peaceful.”

“Yeah, peaceful…” Aemond echoed, but his heart was racing with everything but peace. He felt an overwhelming desire to tell her everything—to share the truth that he was her soulmate. But the words stuck in his throat.

“Shall we?” Helaena prompted, urging them to move forward. “I can’t wait to see who’s faster!”

Aemond nodded, trying to shake off his nerves as he focused on Y/n. “Let’s go,” he said, his voice steadier now, a hint of challenge lacing his tone.

With that, Helaena led the way, and Aemond fell into step beside Y/n, their horses moving in sync. The ride through the meadow felt electric, each stride bringing them closer together, and he couldn’t help but feel that this was just the beginning of something extraordinary.Aemond couldn't help it; he couldn’t take his eyes off Y/n. There was something about the way she rode, a blend of grace and confidence that captivated him. The once unassailable rider, known for always leading the pack, found himself trailing behind her, watching as she chased after Helaena with an infectious joy.

Y/n laughed as she urged her horse forward, her long hair streaming behind her like a dark flag in the wind. She was utterly free in that moment, a stark contrast to the carefully crafted facade Aemond had always maintained. He felt an undeniable pull toward her, an urge to be a part of that laughter and light.

“Come on, Aemond!” Helaena called back, glancing over her shoulder with a teasing grin. “You’re supposed to be the best rider! Why are you lagging?”

Aemond smirked, shaking his head as he focused on the two women ahead of him. “I’m just letting the ladies take the lead,” he called back, though the truth was he was lost in the way Y/n's smile lit up her face, her eyes sparkling with exhilaration.

As Y/n glanced back at him, their eyes locked for a fleeting moment, and Aemond felt a rush of warmth. It was as if the world around them faded away, leaving just the two of them suspended in time. He could see the excitement in her expression, the way she fully embraced the moment. In that instant, he realized he wanted to share more moments like this with her.

“Don’t let her get too far ahead!” Helaena teased, urging Dreamfire to pick up speed.

With a determined gleam in his eye, Aemond kicked Vhagar into motion, the powerful stallion responding instantly. He surged forward, overtaking Y/n just as she turned to look at him again, the thrill of competition igniting something inside him.

“I hope you can keep up!” Aemond shouted, grinning as he picked up speed. The playful challenge hung in the air, and Y/n’s laughter rang out, a sound that fueled his desire to impress her even more.

“I’m right behind you!” she called back, and Aemond felt a surge of exhilaration as they raced across the meadow, the wind whipping past them. It felt like the start of something new, and with each stride, he found himself wanting to bridge the distance between them, not just as riders, but as something much deeper.As Helaena watched Aemond and Y/n galloping ahead, a satisfied smile spread across her face. She stopped Dreamfire and patted the mare’s neck affectionately. “Well, Dreamfire, our work here is done,” she said, her voice light with amusement. “Looks like we’ve set the stage for a little romance.”

Dreamfire whinnied softly, as if she understood, and Helaena couldn’t help but chuckle. “Let’s head back. They’ll figure things out without us hovering around.”

With a gentle squeeze of her legs, Helaena turned her horse and began the leisurely ride back toward the stables, casting one last glance over her shoulder at her brother and Y/n. They were completely absorbed in each other, and Helaena felt a rush of hope for them both. Aemond, with his guarded heart, had finally met someone who could crack his tough exterior, and Y/n, with her bright spirit, deserved someone who could cherish her fully.

“Just give it time,” she murmured to herself as she guided Dreamfire along the path, her heart swelling with optimism. “Everything will fall into place.”Aemond felt a rush of exhilaration as he raced alongside Y/n, the wind whipping through his hair and the sound of hooves pounding against the earth echoing in his ears. He glanced over at her, a radiant smile lighting up her face, and it sent a surge of warmth through him. “I hope you can keep up!” he shouted, the playful challenge escaping his lips before he surged ahead, feeling the powerful muscles of Vhagar beneath him.

With a burst of energy, he crossed the distance between them, reveling in the thrill of the moment. The world around him blurred into a kaleidoscope of greens and blues, the meadow stretching out endlessly as they galloped side by side. Every heartbeat felt in sync with the rhythm of their horses, and Aemond couldn’t help but glance back at Y/n, her laughter ringing like music in his ears.

“I’m right behind you!” she jested, determination lighting her eyes as she urged her horse forward. The sight of her, so full of life and joy, made Aemond’s heart swell. It was as if the barriers he’d built around himself began to crumble with each stride, revealing the raw, unguarded affection he felt for her.

He leaned into the ride, feeling invincible, the thrill of competition igniting a playful spirit he hadn’t embraced in years. With each gallop, he felt the intoxicating pull of their connection, an undeniable chemistry that thrummed between them like a melody only they could hear.

In this moment, nothing else mattered. The past, the burdens, the expectations—it all faded into the background as he focused solely on her, the way her hair danced in the wind and how her laughter echoed across the meadow. She was everything he never knew he wanted, and as they raced together, he felt an overwhelming surge of love welling up inside him.

“Come on, Y/n!” he encouraged, his voice full of excitement. “Let’s see what you’ve got!”

As they approached a bend in the path, he pushed Vhagar harder, relishing the thrill of the race and the joy of simply being near her. For Aemond, this was not just a ride; it was a revelation of the kind of happiness he had never thought possible. Each moment spent racing alongside Y/n was a promise of the future he dared to dream about, a future filled with laughter, adventure, and love.As they brought their horses to a gentle halt, the serene meadow enveloped them in its tranquility. Y/n glanced around, taking in the beauty of the landscape, but her brow furrowed slightly when she noticed Haleana’s absence. “Where’s Haleana?” she asked, curiosity lacing her voice.

Aemond, already aware of his sister’s clever plan, quickly fabricated an excuse. “Oh, she often doesn’t come this far. She must be waiting back there for us to come back,” he replied, his tone casual, though he could feel a hint of guilt creeping in.

“Let’s go then,” Y/n said with a determined nod, but then she paused, looking down at her legs. “I’ll just rest my legs a bit.” With that, she gracefully climbed down from Ebony, her movements fluid and natural.

Aemond followed suit, dismounting with a practiced ease. “I didn’t know you were a rider as well,” he remarked, genuinely impressed as he took a moment to admire her connection with her horse.

“This is Ebony,” she said, affection evident in her voice. “He has been with me since I was young. He was my brother’s horse.”

Curiosity piqued, Aemond asked, “Your brother doesn’t ride now?” The moment the words left his mouth, he sensed a change in her demeanor, the light in her eyes dimming as the sadness washed over her face.

Y/n hesitated for a moment before responding, “He is no more.”

The weight of her words hung in the air between them, and Aemond felt a pang of sorrow for her loss. “I’m sorry to hear that,” he said softly, sincerity coloring his tone. He wanted to reach out, to comfort her, but he didn’t want to overstep.

She offered him a faint smile, one that spoke volumes about the resilience she had cultivated in the face of her grief. “It was a long time ago,” she reassured him, though Aemond could see the bittersweet memories flickering behind her eyes.

Aemond, eager to lighten the mood, gestured toward Vhagar with a hint of pride. “I almost forgot. Y/n, this is Vhagar. You have met him, don’t you?”

The way he introduced his stallion was almost like sharing a piece of himself. Vhagar stood tall and proud, his dark coat shimmering in the sunlight. Y/n stepped closer, reaching out a hand to stroke Vhagar’s neck gently. “He’s magnificent,” she said, a genuine smile breaking through the sadness. “I can see why you like him so much.”

Aemond watched her interact with Vhagar, his heart swelling with admiration. This was a side of Y/n he cherished—a soft, warm connection that made him yearn for more moments like this, where they could share their lives with each other.“Let’s go back,” Y/n requested, glancing back toward the path. “I don’t want to keep Haleana waiting.”

“Yes, definitely,” Aemond agreed, suppressing the urge to tell her he would do whatever she asked him to. Just command me; I am your servant, he thought, his heart racing at the idea of being at her beck and call.

“Do you come here to ride often, Aemond?” she asked, turning her gaze back to him.

The way she spoke his name sent a shiver down his spine, making him want to hear it over and over again—maybe in a more intimate context, perhaps when he was pleasuring her in all sorts of ways.

“Yes, I do,” he replied, holding her gaze, unwilling to break the connection.

“It’s a beautiful place,” she remarked, her eyes sparkling with warmth. “Would you like to join me again?”

Just command me; I will be there I'll be whateeryou want me to be, I'll knell to you should you ask right now, he thought fervently, longing for more moments with her. “Definitely,” he said, a hint of eagerness slipping into his voice.

“Okay,” she said, a playful smile dancing on her lips. “Tell me when. Haleana has my number.”

For once, Aemond was impressed by his sister’s cleverness. Without Haleana’s intervention, he wouldn’t have met Y/n; he wouldn’t have gotten to know her this closely. The thought of it made him realize just how much he valued this chance encounter and how determined he was to keep her in his life.

As they began their ride back, the air between them felt charged with unspoken possibilities, and Aemond silently vowed to seize every opportunity to be with her, no matter what it took.

As they rejoined Haleana, Aemond couldn’t help but watch Y/n and his sister chat animatedly, their laughter ringing out like music against the serene backdrop of the meadow. Haleana's hair flowed freely in the wind as she rode alongside Y/n, who was effortlessly graceful on her horse. Aemond fell a little behind, his heart swelling as he admired Y/n’s animated expression and the way her eyes sparkled with joy.

“Can you believe how beautiful this place is?” Haleana exclaimed, her excitement infectious. “And riding with Aemond? It’s like living in a dream!”

Y/n laughed, her voice light and melodic. “He’s an incredible rider! I thought I would struggle to keep up, but he’s been so gracious.”

Aemond felt a rush of warmth at her words, his chest tightening with affection. Gracious? Me? he mused, surprised that he could evoke such thoughts from her. He had always thought of himself as intimidating, yet here he was, mesmerized like a lovesick puppy.

“Gracious, huh?” Haleana teased, throwing a playful glance over her shoulder. “Don’t let him fool you; he can be a bit of a rogue when he wants to be.”

“Oh, really?” Y/n replied, her brows raised playfully. “I’d love to see that side of him.”

Aemond's heart raced at the idea, and he found himself leaning forward slightly in his saddle, eager to hear what his sister would say next.

Haleana rolled her eyes. “Just wait until you see him at a party. He’s the king of avoiding everyone and sulking in a corner. But today? He’s different.”

“Different how?” Y/n asked, a teasing lilt in her voice.

“More... alive,” Haleana said with a smirk, looking back at Aemond. “Almost like he actually enjoys himself.”

Aemond couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at his lips. The attention felt odd yet thrilling, and he realized that it was all thanks to Y/n. He quickened his pace, closing the gap between them just a little. “You’re making me sound like some brooding villain, Haleana,” he interjected with a hint of mock indignation.

Haleana laughed. “Maybe just a misunderstood hero, Aemond. But Y/n seems to bring out the best in you. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes, she does,” he admitted, glancing at Y/n, who met his gaze with a soft smile. It was a moment filled with unspoken promise, and Aemond felt a flicker of hope spark within him.

As they rode back, the camaraderie between the three of them felt warm and genuine, but all Aemond could focus on was Y/n. The way she laughed, the way she spoke, and the way she made everything feel brighter—it was all he wanted to savor as they made their way home.As Aemond stepped into his room, still buzzing from the ride, Haleana followed closely behind, the door clicking shut behind her. The air was thick with a sense of camaraderie that lingered from their time together in the meadow.

“So, was it worth coming to the ride today, brother?” Haleana asked, her tone teasing yet curious. She perched herself on the edge of his bed, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

Aemond leaned against his desk, trying to appear nonchalant, but the corners of his mouth betrayed him, twitching upwards. “Absolutely,” he replied, his voice steady but tinged with a hint of warmth. “I didn’t expect to enjoy myself so much.”

Haleana raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on her lips. “Didn’t expect? Or didn’t want to?”

Aemond crossed his arms, adopting a mock defensive stance. “Both, maybe. But Y/n…” He let the sentence hang, the weight of her name filling the room with a palpable tension.

“What about her?” Haleana pressed, leaning in with intrigue. “You like her, don’t you?”

Aemond felt his cheeks warm slightly at the directness of her question. “It’s not that simple, Haleana. She’s…” He paused, searching for the right words. “She’s different. She sees me, not just the Targaryen name or the scars.”

Haleana’s smile widened, clearly delighted by her brother's admission. “That’s exactly what I was hoping for! You need someone like her in your life. Someone who can bring you back to life.”

Aemond sighed, a mixture of frustration and affection swirling inside him. “You make it sound so easy. What if she doesn’t feel the same way?”

“Did you see the way she looked at you?” Haleana replied, her enthusiasm unyielding. “I mean, really looked at you. She’s intrigued by you, Aemond. Just give her a chance to see the real you.”

He contemplated her words, a flicker of hope igniting within him. “I just need to figure out how to approach her without scaring her off. I don’t want to come on too strong.”

“Then be yourself,” Haleana suggested. “And maybe bring her a little gift. A brooch, perhaps? Something that shows you’ve been thinking of her.”

Aemond chuckled, rolling his eyes. “You’re not letting that brooch idea go, are you?”

“Nope!” Haleana replied cheerfully. “Just consider it, brother. Besides, you owe me for keeping your secret!”

With a resigned smile, Aemond nodded. “Alright, alright. I’ll think about it.”

“Good! I want to see you happy, Aemond. And who knows? Maybe you’ll finally have a reason to smile more often,” she said, her tone turning earnest.

“Maybe,” he echoed softly, already imagining the possibilities that lay ahead with Y/n. As Haleana exited the room, he found himself lost in thought, pondering how to turn this flicker of hope into something more.Haleana’s teasing smile lingered in the air as she leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, clearly enjoying her brother's flustered reaction. “Why don’t you schedule another ride with her? You already have her number, don’t you?” she suggested, her tone playful yet encouraging.

Aemond rolled his eyes, but the hint of a smile tugged at his lips. “I suppose,” he replied, trying to sound indifferent, but the excitement bubbling beneath the surface was hard to hide.

“Then again,” Haleana added, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, “maybe it’ll turn into a different kind of ride, brother.” She wiggled her eyebrows for emphasis, clearly reveling in her own wit.

Aemond’s eyes widened, and he shot a glare in her direction, his heart racing at the implications of her words. “Haleana!” he yelled, feeling the heat rise to his cheeks.

With a laugh, she turned to leave, already halfway out the door. “Just think about it!” she called back, her laughter echoing in the hallway.

“Come back here!” Aemond protested, throwing a pillow in her direction just as she closed the door behind her, the soft thud barely reaching her ears.

He sighed, shaking his head with a mix of exasperation and amusement. “What am I going to do with her?” he murmured to himself, a smirk breaking through as he sank onto the edge of his bed.

His thoughts drifted back to Y/n, the way she laughed and rode with such joy, the light in her eyes that made everything around her seem brighter. Maybe, just maybe, Haleana was right. Maybe it was time to take a chance.As Y/n sank onto her bed, fatigue washed over her like a gentle wave, yet sleep eluded her. She felt the warmth of the afternoon sun still lingering on her skin from the ride, but it was Aemond's presence that lingered in her mind.

His confident demeanor, the way he had effortlessly guided his horse, and how he had looked at her with an intensity that made her heart race—it all played on repeat in her thoughts. She couldn’t shake the image of him galloping alongside her, the thrill of their friendly race filling her with a sense of freedom she hadn’t felt in a long time.

The more she thought about him, the more she found herself puzzling over the contradiction that he presented. Aemond Targaryen, the man rumored to be cruel and feared, had shown her a side of himself that felt warm and genuine. There was something reassuring about him, something that made her feel safe even amidst the chaos of their world.

“Why do I feel like this?” she murmured to herself, rolling onto her side to stare out the window. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, and she could still hear the echo of laughter from the meadow where they had ridden.

She pondered how Aemond had cared for his horse, Vhagar, the pride in his voice when he introduced her to him. That was not the behavior of a heartless man. He had a depth to him, a complexity that intrigued her.

As the shadows lengthened in her room, Y/n felt a strange flutter in her chest. “Maybe he isn’t as terrible as everyone says,” she whispered, a small smile creeping onto her lips. “But can I really trust him?”

Y/n closed her eyes, trying to drift off to sleep, but her mind continued to wander back to Aemond—the way he had smiled, the warmth of his gaze, and the sense of adventure they had shared. She had to admit it to herself: she wanted to see him again, to unravel the mystery of the man behind the stories.

With a sigh, she tucked her hair behind her ear and let the thoughts wash over her. “Maybe tomorrow,” she whispered, clinging to the hope of another chance to ride alongside him, to know him better, and perhaps to discover if he truly was as kind as he seemed.As Y/n sank onto her bed, fatigue washed over her like a gentle wave, yet sleep eluded her.

“However, I don’t think I can ride tomorrow. My legs hurt a little from today’s. I’m more a musician than a rider, I suppose. How about I meet you at the stables and watch you ride Vhagar instead?”

She pressed send, biting her lip as she waited for Aemond's response. The thought of watching him ride made her heart race—she could picture him effortlessly commanding the magnificent stallion, and the image sent a shiver of excitement through her.

Moments later, her phone buzzed.

“Of course! I’d love to show off my skills,” Aemond replied, his enthusiasm evident in his words. “I hope Vhagar doesn’t disappoint you.”

“I’m sure he won’t,” Y/n replied, her smile growing wider. “I’ll just have to cheer you on from the sidelines.”

“Maybe I’ll give you a little performance just for you,” he teased. “What time shall we meet?”

“Let’s say 10 AM still? That way I can make sure I’m there when you arrive,” she suggested, feeling a flutter of anticipation.

“Perfect. I’ll see you then, Y/n,” he texted back. “And don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s worth your while.”

Y/n felt a warmth spreading through her chest at his words. As she set her phone down, she couldn’t help but imagine what the day ahead would hold. Aemond was no longer just a mysterious figure in her mind; he was becoming someone she looked forward to seeing again and again. The thought brought a soft smile to her lips as she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of horses and unexpected connections.The next day, Y/n arrived at the Targaryen estate stables, her heart fluttering with excitement. The scent of fresh hay and horses surrounded her as she spotted Aemond waiting near Vhagar's stall.

“Good morning, Y/n,” he greeted, his voice smooth and inviting. He stepped forward and took her hand, placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles. The warmth of his lips sent a blush creeping up her cheeks, and she quickly looked down to hide her embarrassment.

“Good morning, Aemond,” she replied, her voice slightly breathless.

As she approached Vhagar, she pulled out a few sugar cubes from her pocket. “And hello to you too, Vhagar!” she said cheerfully, offering the treats to the stallion. Vhagar nickered in delight, eagerly taking the sugar cubes from her palm. She couldn’t help but giggle at the horse's enthusiasm, feeling a sense of joy as Vhagar nuzzled her hand.

“Looks like someone has a new favorite,” Aemond said, a playful smirk on his lips as he watched the interaction. “I might have some competition.”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Y/n teased back, glancing at him with a bright smile. “You’ll always be my favorite Targaryen.”

Aemond chuckled, his heart warming at her words. But as he moved to saddle up Vhagar, the stallion suddenly refused to cooperate, tossing his head and taking a few steps back.

“What’s wrong with you today?” Aemond murmured, furrowing his brow in confusion. “He has never done this.”

Y/n watched with concern, stepping closer to Aemond. “Maybe he’s just feeling a bit playful this morning?” she suggested, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

“He’s usually the most obedient horse,” Aemond said, trying again to approach Vhagar. The stallion whinnied softly, as if teasing him, refusing to be saddled.

Y/n laughed lightly, her heart fluttering at the sight of Aemond’s frustration. “Maybe he just knows how special today is and wants to show off a little.”

“Or he knows that I’m with you, and he’s trying to steal the show,” Aemond replied, a hint of admiration in his voice. “Vhagar, come on. I promise I’m not going to make you do anything crazy.”To Aemond's surprise, Vhagar didn’t relent. Instead, the stallion nudged Y/n gently, almost as if he were inviting her to join in. Aemond blinked in confusion.

“Maybe he wants me to ride him today,” Y/n suggested, a playful smile on her lips.

Aemond raised an eyebrow, his expression shifting from surprise to intrigue. “You want to ride Vhagar?”

“Why not? I love riding, and he seems friendly enough,” she replied, a hint of excitement in her voice. “Besides, it might help him warm up a bit.”

Aemond hesitated, looking at Vhagar, who seemed eager and ready to go. “Are you sure? He’s not exactly a beginner’s horse. He can be a handful.”

Y/n stepped closer, confidence radiating from her. “I can handle it. I promise. I’ve ridden horses before, and I’m not one to back down from a challenge.”

Aemond felt a rush of admiration for her bravery. “Alright, but if he starts acting up, I’m right here,” he said, moving to help her mount.

As Y/n climbed onto Vhagar, the stallion stood patiently, seemingly enjoying the attention. Aemond felt a swell of pride watching her settle into the saddle, her hair catching the sunlight as she grinned down at him.

“See? I told you I could handle it,” she said triumphantly.

“Just be careful,” Aemond warned, his voice softening. “He’s a big boy, but he listens well. You’ll be fine as long as you stay calm.”

“Trust me, I’ve got this,” she reassured him, her confidence shining through.

With that, she gently squeezed Vhagar’s sides, and the horse took a few steps forward. Aemond felt a mix of admiration and protectiveness as he watched her navigate the stallion, riding with ease and grace.

“Look at you,” he called out, pride swelling in his chest. “You’re a natural!”

Y/n laughed, feeling the exhilaration of riding Vhagar. “Thanks! This is amazing!”

Aemond smiled, heart racing as he watched her enjoy herself. In that moment, he realized just how much he admired her spirit and determination. With Y/n on Vhagar and a bond forming between them, Aemond felt a sense of joy he hadn’t experienced in a long time.From a distance, Aegon squinted through the binoculars, his jaw dropping in disbelief.

“Is that the musician from the other day riding Vhagar?!” he exclaimed, his voice laced with total surprise.

“Vhagar is letting another rider on it!” He couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched Y/n confidently maneuver the stallion.

Halena, sitting nearby with a smirk on her face, replied, “Why am I not surprised at this?”

“BUT THERE IS ANOTHER RIDER ON VHAGAR, who is not Aemond!!!” Aegon shouted, incredulous. “How are you not surprised?!”

Halena chuckled, clearly amused by her brother’s reaction. “Well, maybe it’s because Aemond has a type, and it seems he’s not the only one who appreciates Y/n’s talents.”

Aegon rolled his eyes, still fixated on the scene unfolding before him. “This is just ridiculous! Vhagar doesn’t let anyone ride him but Aemond! What is going on?”

Halena leaned back, enjoying the chaos. “Maybe Vhagar likes her more than he likes Aemond. It would explain a lot, don’t you think?”

Aegon huffed, trying to process the information. “First, Aemond acts like a lovesick puppy, and now Vhagar is playing favorites? What is this madness?”

Halena raised an eyebrow, a teasing grin on her lips. “It looks like love is in the air, dear brother. Maybe you should join the party instead of spying from a distance.”

“Don’t you dare say it like that,” Aegon muttered, still squinting through the binoculars, trying to catch every detail. “What if Aemond finds out? He’s going to flip!”

“Relax, it’s all in good fun,” Halena said with a laugh. “Besides, it’s nice to see him smile for once.”

“Yeah, but with her on Vhagar, who knows what could happen?” Aegon sighed, lowering the binoculars. “This could turn into a disaster.”

“Or maybe it’ll turn into something beautiful,” Halena replied thoughtfully. “Let’s just watch and see what unfolds.”

As they continued to observe the unfolding drama, Aegon couldn’t shake the feeling that something significant was happening, and it left him both anxious and curious about the outcome.As Y/n guided Vhagar across the open meadow, her laughter echoed through the air, a melodic sound that made Aemond’s heart swell with a mix of admiration and enchantment. She leaned forward in the saddle, her long black hair flowing behind her like a banner in the wind, radiating joy and confidence. Each time Vhagar surged forward, Y/n's delight was palpable; her eyes sparkled with excitement as they galloped freely, the world around them blurring into a vibrant tapestry of greens and blues.

Aemond stood at the edge of the stables, captivated by the scene before him. The sight of Y/n on his beloved dragon of a horse was mesmerizing. She seemed to effortlessly blend grace and strength, embodying the spirit of the wild in a way that took Aemond’s breath away. Vhagar, usually so formidable, appeared to relish the company of this spirited rider. The two shared a bond that Aemond had never witnessed before, an unspoken connection that felt almost magical.

With each gallop, Y/n's laughter rang out, pure and joyful, as she urged Vhagar onward. Aemond's heart raced, not just from the sight of her riding but from the realization of how deeply he felt for her. There was an innocence about her, a vibrant energy that drew him in like a moth to a flame. In that moment, as he watched her, he knew that his life had irrevocably changed. The walls he had built around his heart began to crumble, leaving him vulnerable to the emotions she stirred within him.

As Vhagar thundered across the meadow, Aemond found himself grinning, unable to contain his admiration. He admired her fearless spirit, how she navigated Vhagar’s movements with such ease, and how every laugh seemed to weave a thread between them. It was as if they existed in a world apart, untouched by the shadows of their lives. He felt a sense of pride, knowing that this magnificent beast was his and now also hers.

Finally, the exhilaration of the ride came to a close. Aemond took a deep breath and called out, “That’s enough, Vhagar! Come on back here!” His voice carried over the wind, filled with a mixture of authority and affection.

To his surprise, Vhagar obeyed, slowing his pace and gradually making his way back to the stables. Y/n sat tall in the saddle, patting Vhagar's mane gently as they approached. The horse seemed to share in her joy, nuzzling against her side as if proud to have carried her across the fields.

As they neared him, Aemond could see the flush of excitement in Y/n's cheeks, the sparkle in her eyes. She radiated happiness, and it was contagious. Aemond felt a rush of warmth as he stepped forward to greet them. The sight of her, glowing with joy and confidence atop Vhagar, solidified his resolve. This was the moment he had been waiting for—the moment he could finally take a step closer to the woman who had captured his heart.“I didn’t think I would ride today, Aemond; my legs hurt,” Y/n said, her voice playful, a bright smile illuminating her face. “And so does my face from laughing.”

As she attempted to climb down from Vhagar, her foot slipped, and she nearly lost her balance. But in an instant, Aemond was there, his strong arms catching her effortlessly. The warmth of his embrace sent a thrill through her, and for a brief moment, time seemed to stand still.

“Careful there,” Aemond said, his voice low and smooth, a hint of amusement dancing in his single eye. He held her for a moment longer than necessary, absorbing the feeling of her in his arms. She felt light, almost ethereal, and the scent of her—sweet and fresh—filled his senses.

“I’ve got you,” he added, his grip firm yet gentle, steadying her as she regained her footing. Their eyes locked, and for a heartbeat, the world around them faded away. Aemond was struck by how close they were, the rhythm of their breaths syncing in the lingering warmth of the moment.

“Thanks,” she managed to say, a soft blush creeping up her cheeks. “I guess I should have been more careful.”

Aemond chuckled lightly, his heart racing at the closeness. “Or you could just trust me to catch you,” he replied, a teasing smile playing on his lips. “I seem to have a knack for it.”

Y/n laughed, her voice like music to his ears. “Yes, well, I wouldn’t want to make a habit of it. I think I’ll stick to watching you ride from now on.”

“Don’t say that,” Aemond countered, still holding her gaze. “I want you to ride with me again. You were incredible up there.”

She smiled, a warm blush on her cheeks. “You really think so?”

“Absolutely,” he said, finally letting her go but lingering close enough that the electricity between them crackled in the air. “I’d like to see you on Vhagar more often.”

“Maybe I will,” Y/n replied, her tone playful, yet Aemond could see the sincerity in her eyes. “But next time, I might need more than a sugar cube to convince him.”

“Don’t worry,” Aemond said, his expression turning serious. “I’ll make sure he behaves.”

The moment stretched between them, filled with unspoken possibilities and a burgeoning connection that neither of them could ignore.Finally, Aemond relented to the whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. With a sudden surge of courage, he pulled Y/n closer, his hands wrapping around her waist as he leaned in. The world around them faded into a distant blur as he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with all the passion he had been holding back.

Y/n's initial surprise quickly melted away, and she found herself melting into the kiss, her hands finding their way to Aemond's hair. She reciprocated with equal fervor, the warmth of their connection igniting a fire deep within her. It was as if time itself had paused, and nothing else mattered but the two of them, lost in this moment.

Aemond's heart raced, every part of him alive with the thrill of finally expressing what he had kept hidden for so long. The taste of her lips was sweet, intoxicating, and he felt a sense of freedom in being so close to her. Y/n's laughter and joy danced in his mind, and now, in this shared kiss, he felt a deep sense of belonging.

They lingered in the embrace, the kiss deepening as they lost themselves in the connection that felt both new and familiar. Each heartbeat echoed the unspoken promise of more to come, and as they finally pulled apart, both breathless, Aemond gazed into Y/n’s eyes.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” he admitted, a hint of vulnerability lacing his voice.“We shouldn’t have done that,” Y/n said, a mix of surprise and uncertainty swirling in her gaze.

“Is it wrong to kiss one’s soulmate?” Aemond asked, his voice steady but with an underlying warmth that belied his serious demeanor.

“I am your soulmate?” Y/n questioned, her heart racing as she searched his eye for confirmation.

“Yes, you are,” Aemond replied, his expression softening as he gently brought their wrists together. He turned her hand to reveal their threads, shimmering gold in the sunlight—a vivid reminder of their connection. His thread gleamed alongside hers, a visual testament to the bond they shared.

“How long have you known?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her mind racing to catch up with the revelation.

“It certainly felt like a hundred years to me,” Aemond said, his heart pounding as he stepped closer. He couldn’t resist the pull any longer, leaning in to capture her lips once more, this time with a deeper sense of urgency and passion.

Y/n melted into the kiss, her worries momentarily forgotten as she lost herself in the warmth of his embrace. The world around them faded away, leaving just the two of them—soulmates finally discovering the depths of their feelings.“I… Aemond is kissing that musician!” Aegon yelled, his voice cracking with disbelief as he stared through his binoculars, eyes wide.

“Leave them alone, you creep,” Helaena chided him, rolling her eyes at her brother’s lack of decorum.

“But… Aemond is kissing that girl!” Aegon repeated, still unable to believe what he was seeing. He rubbed his eyes as if expecting the scene to disappear like a mirage.

Helaena sighed, more amused than anything else. “Am I high?” Aegon muttered to himself, still staring through the binoculars in shock.

“Probably,” Helaena said dryly, shaking her head as she walked away, leaving Aegon to sort out his bewilderment on his own.“Give me those!” Helaena snatched the binoculars from Aegon’s hands, leaving him squinting into the distance.

“But… he’s kissing that girl!” Aegon yelled, his voice rising in pitch as if he couldn’t comprehend what was happening.

Helaena looked through the binoculars briefly, then handed them back to Aegon with a shrug. “Why am I the only one surprised at this?” Aegon shouted again, his confusion turning into exasperation.

“Because you’re always the last to figure things out,” Helaena teased, giving him a pat on the shoulder before walking away, leaving Aegon still stunned by what he’d witnessed.“Let’s go, leave them alone,” Helaena said firmly, tugging at Aegon’s arm.

“But… but…” Aegon stammered, still in disbelief, his eyes wide as he tried to make sense of what he was seeing.

“If Aemond finds out, he’s going to crack your head open with those binoculars,” Helaena reminded him, her tone a mix of amusement and warning.

Aegon hesitated, glancing back through the binoculars one last time before reluctantly handing them over. “Fine, fine… but I still can’t believe it,” he muttered, following Helaena as they walked away.“I cannot believe Aemond has a soulmate,” Aegon muttered, still stunned.

“How, how, how?” he kept repeating, much to Helaena’s amusement.

Aegon shook his head in disbelief. “Aemond is so cruel and scary and feared… How does he even have a soulmate?”

Helaena smiled knowingly, her eyes softening as she looked at her brother. “Perhaps he’s not like that for her,” she answered, a hint of warmth in her voice.

Aegon fell silent for a moment, trying to process her words. “Maybe,” he finally conceded, though he still seemed baffled by the whole thing.
