Summary
When her mother died, the first thing her father saw was the bottom of a bottle. When what was left of Rhaenyra's world collapsed in on itself, the first thing she saw was Daemon. It was only natural, she reasoned, that she'd turned to him, begun to orient toward this singular warmth; that petal by petal, she'd trustingly hand him over her layers as they unfurled.

Sixteen-year-old Rhaenyra turns up on the doorstep of the uncle she never knew in the midst of dual familial and global crises. In isolation, a friendship of necessity blossoms into something more intimate and complex.

Summary
When all is lost in ash and ruin, Rhaenyra looks up and finds a constant.
✦✦
Don’t miss me, Kid.
She isn't sure whether she does or doesn't. How can you miss what you can’t fully remember? But the words linger on, and so do the intermittent reminders of the void. Not an ever-present ache, but a rare pang pressed into pages of random books around the house where she'll find his neat writing in the margins. A little loss lurking where she least expects it in a box of dusty Christmas baubles, a large hand print and a tiny, chubby one set eternally in brittle salt dough.
Don’t miss me too much.

Summary
“Saera only hires perfect tens,” she said, gazing at the spa voucher with dreamy eyes. “Every single person there is like… supermodel hot.”
Rhaenyra gaped at her. “Is this a brothel?” she whispered indignantly, as if someone else was listening in her solitary home.
Throwing her hair back and laughing, curls flying, Laena cackled. “Ha! They say Saera used to be the escort of the stars, but she’s just the namesake. I’m pretty sure she’s retired with her millions anyway. They’re totally above board, they just hire super hot, super skilled masseurs. And you gotta get some of that tension out. No harm in a sexy rubdown by Magic Mike, right?”
Only to her ego.
"Just go. Trust me, it'll change your life."
Rhaenyra doubted that very much, but it didn't seem very Christmassy of her to argue the point.
***
Taking pity on her tightly-wound, touch-starved friend, Laena gifts Rhaenyra a massage at a spa and promises it'll change her life. She has no idea how right she is.

Summary
She knew her father, an unambitious man with no fire of his own to call upon, would disapprove of how hard Daemon worked her in public, and be downright sick if he knew of his brother’s more private methods and ways of motivating her. But could anyone deny that they worked?
Rhaenyra’s friends too felt sorry for her when her uncle got into one of his moods, but that didn’t make them less envious of her meteoric rise through the ranks. She and Syrax were unstoppable. And in those moments, everything Daemon put her through was well worth it. When they were flying around a cheering stadium, racing a clock counting milliseconds as rapid heartbeats and measuring life in distances between jumps, nothing else mattered.
Nothing was better, except perhaps the private praises and rewards Daemon lavished upon his little star when the stables fell quiet and they were all alone at night. Nothing at all compared to the things they did when only the distant unholy heavens, sworn to silence, stood witness.

Determined to make her a star, top equestrian Daemon pushes his niece to her limits athletically by day, and in other ways by night. It's (almost) all for her own good.

Summary
At 4:57AM on an unremarkable Wednesday in September, eighteen-year-old Rhaenyra Targaryen is crowned Queen Rhaenyra, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm.
There is no ceremony, no gown, no cheering crowd. She wears no shoes and no bra, only wrinkled purple running shorts and a threadbare ‘Disneyland 2016’ sweatshirt with mustard stains on the left sleeve.
There is no victory, no tradition, no sense of a torch being passed. There is no pride in Rhaenyra's heart.
There is only numb horror.
«« »»
When King Viserys I dies suddenly, it is not the toddler born to be his father's heir who is crowned in his stead, but his long-since replaced daughter, Rhaenyra. At eighteen, her life is upended as she is thrust into a role no one prepared her for, with a country on the brink of chaos, a pit of vipers at court, and few allies in whom she can trust. Matters are only complicated when her wayward uncle Daemon, having been exiled yet again in the final year of his brother's rule, returns.

Summary
Modern AU stuff with these two sad little birds in their sad little nest, enmeshed and obsessed, how I like them best.
There are also felonies. Like, an incredible amount of felonies now. 🤷🏼♀️ Felonies, family issues, and fucking.
Ran out of room for tags a long time ago, so now I’m just warning you about the mess at the beginning of each chapter 😅
