    Why do I feel like this Daemon went to find Rhaenyra to get her to help him figure out how to do the job?

    'Rhaenyra, my beautiful, intelligent niece'

    'Whatever it is, no.'

     

    I love that you had Daemon actually play the game to clear himself instead of thinking himself above it. It's also nice to read a fic where they act like brothers who actually like each other even when they are frustrated with the other.

      Daemon’s behaviour in the Throne room was very frustrating, I mean, why taking the blame when you see that your brother is vulnerable at the moment and can be manipulated by those who wish ill to Daemon himself. Something like apologies and good crying on each other’s shoulder could have worked well. There was no point in striking an argument.

      And yes, Viserys and Daemon as good brothers is very liberating to read and write. Moreover, I think it comes naturally to them, because they come from a big loving family, where grandparents, parents, uncles and cousins truly loved each other, despite all the difficulties.

      Thank you for reading and commenting!
