Summary
It doesn’t feel strange to be on the other side of the glass. It feels like sliding into a well-tailored suit, the shoulders resting like a loving pair of hands, fixing the buttons without complaint, nary a wrinkle. It feels like everything is as it should be, she thinks, surveying the main floor through the one-way mirror, smoothing her hand down the front of her vest, tracing one of the golden spirals.
On one of the monitors, the small red-light blinks at her, letting her know the motion sensors were set off, but she didn’t notice soon enough. The monitor screens show her an empty loading dock, but then there is a shift of shadows near the left corner of the one-way mirror. Samantha raises her serving tray above her head, twirling out of the way. If it were anyone else, Sam would make them move, and then Rhaenyra knows. In each flash of the ever-changing neon lights, Rhaenyra sees him, would know him by his height, his unhurried stride, Arryk trailing behind him.
Everything is as it should be. The door knob twists, and Rhaenyra takes a deep breath.
Almost, she adds as Arryk opens the office door and Otto Hightower enters.

What Else Is There? by Simirulz204

Summary
Beauty and Desire, two things that Daemon Targaryen has always placed highest amongst the qualities he deems necessary for his wife.
So when his father betroths him to his niece, who is anything but beautiful at the tender age of two and ten - he vehemently rejects the notion of her as his wife.
Until the day comes where she is now six and ten - and he finds she is everything he has always wanted except she no longer wants him.
Loosely, and I mean loosely based off of The Swan Princess movie. A childhood favourite of mine.

Summary
“There’s another token I require, Prince Daemon. Proof of where your loyalties lie. Until you have delivered it, I have nothing to say to you.”
There’s a fire in her eyes, one that threatens to burn him alive.
“Speak plainly, wife.”
He knows what she’s talking about. He would be a fool if he didn’t. Still, Daemon needs her to put to words precisely what she means—that she leaped to believing the worst of him without even a single conversation between them. He needs her to tell him that she has chosen to trust others over her own husband.
“A sapphire eye means little when I asked for a head.”
Daemon survives the battle above the Gods Eye, only to be faced with a far more daunting task: finding a way to salvage his marriage. Despite his victory, he has lost his wife’s trust. In turn, he finds himself full of resentment at her continued insistence that he has betrayed her. Yet, he can’t live without her, which means he has little choice but to continue fighting for his queen, for his family, and for their legacy.

Summary
It was never more peaceful, with no one else around, when they were alone.
He could barely hear her humming over the buzzing cicadas, but he could feel it inside his head cradled in her lap. She smelled like lavender, the soap he brought her from Sardinia, and geraniums, the perfume he gave her last Christmas. Her fingers were in his hair, nails drawing sparks across his scalp, and she was humming an old Valyrian lullaby.

Summary
the birth of rhaenyra targaryen was a tragedy, the realm claimed. they had hardly finished mourning her father, when the birthing bed took lady jocelyn as well. what room was there left in the world for the sister of a queen who would never be? a dragon alone in the world is a dangerous thing, after all.
fortunately enough, the king has always had a certain fondness for danger.

Summary
"Halbrand and I are just sleeping together. Plenty of people do that with their exes."
Elrond looks as though he is staving off a migraine. "Yes, I agree, loads of people have bad ideas. Is there some sort of competition you're seeking to win? A medal for 'most likely to detonate a ticking time bomb', perhaps?"
She scoffs. "You're missing the point; it doesn't mean anything. I hardly even see him any more than I used to since we started splitting custody of Celebrian—don’t give me that look, it makes me feel like you don't believe me—"
"Well, for one, you are FaceTiming me from his bed."
Or: Modern AU. Galadriel is having no-strings-attached sex with her ex-husband, Halbrand. Strings so unattached you wouldn't believe. (Seriously.)

Summary
daemon targaryen is five and twenty when his brother replaces him as his heir, naming his infant daughter the princess of dragonstone in daemon's stead. the lords of westeros mistake daemon's fury as a volatile, uncontrollable thing, fire that burns hot and fast. they underestimate just how controlled daemon can be in the name of his ambition. they claim fatherhood, the loss of a wife has tempered the rogue prince at long last. they look upon the displaced prince and see only a doting uncle, the man who stepped into the role of father and mother their wild princess so desperately needs.
they forget that even the future queen shall need her king.

“—I think he’s kind of hot,” Nori said from behind the counter.
Halbrand sat at a table outside, rolling a cigarette, an untouched latte before him.
Galadriel grimaced. “He’s a self-obsessed douchebag who looks like he’d give you HPV.”
“But it would almost be worth it, you know? Besides, practically everybody has—”

or: Galadriel is having an affair with her married professor and fake dating his awful teaching assistant so the wife doesn’t find out.
Inspired by an anonymous prompt: "Serious college student Galadriel and flirty TA Sauron who finds out about the affair between teacher Gil-galad and Galadriel. That is all."

Summary
the tattoo of him is left upon rhaenyra, ghostly blood pouring from wounds that linger beneath the surface of her skin. it is a brand of torture she has devised for herself, a penance as she haunts the shadowy aisles of bookcases he once pressed her against, valyrian words tumbling from his mouth in heady moans.
perhaps she should have written her dissertation on the cruelty of the gods, rhaenyra muses bitterly as she fights the mounting panic rising like the doom of valyria. only they might make her ex-lover her newest advisor.

Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen, with the pale unblemished skin of their palms, are oddities in a world of magic and fated love. It is indeed well-known that those who do not have a mark, do not have a soulmate. Yet, something seems to tie the two markless dragons together, bringing them together in a blaze of fire.

Summary
daemon paid little attention to the teachings of the seven, but he knows this. there is a garden. there is a fruit. there is a woman and a man, and from them springs forth all life. from their lips springs forth all sin. strange, he muses, lips fastened around his niece's, how the faith condemns the very making of the world.
after eight years, daemon has returned to the red keep to claim the inheritance he is owed, yet he finds that rhaenyra has already shrouded herself with the pieces of his legacy.

Summary
Daemon is heavier than he looks, heavier even than the dragon egg. But he relaxes into the cradle of Rhaenyra’s arms. With a last delighted gurgle—so it seems to Rhaenyra—the babe closes his eyes and falls back asleep. “Hello, nephew,” she says softly. “Hello, Daemon.”
In which Daemon is Viserys's son and heir, and his aunt Rhaenyra is the only woman he wants.

Rhaenyra dyes her hair. She changes her name. She speaks to no one of her past, of who she once was, of who she truly is. Because if there is one thing her mother taught her before she died, it’s that the most dangerous thing to be in this city is a Targaryen.
