Broken Bonds | Maelor x f!highborn!reader x Aemond x Aegon

Moodboard for upcoming One-Shot (dropping this weekend!)

Summary: Betrothed to Prince Aemond before the war and having fallen in love with the one-eyed prince, the young lady Celtigar’s heart would shatter into pieces as she learns of his betrayal in taking a mistress and siring a bastard with her while away at war.

Unable to cope with being forced to marry him anyway, she chooses to run away, using the chaos of war to disappear forever, or so she thought.

When fate sends her into the town of Bitterbridge one day, she finds herself caught up in the chaos of a giant riot, sheer terror overwhelming her when she spots a familiar toddler screaming amongst the greedy crowd.

Barely escaping the scuffle alive, she takes the boy in as hers, living as mother and son ever since.

The duo grows inseparable until a decade later, when an unfortunate coincidence would result in the two torn apart forever.

alicent & motherhood

thinking abt that tiktok someone made about why we never see alicent giving birth, but we see aemma, laena and rhaenyra TWICE and how it's a way to disconnect alicent from motherhood, but also a way to keep the audience from perhaps empathising with her.

THIS alicent...

... is the alicent that gave birth to all her children. alicent was like 15/16 giving birth to aegon, and 18/19 giving birth to daeron. ik the hotd timeline/character ages are kinda cooked but like she was a mother of four before turning 20.

when alicent was pregnant with her fourth child, rhaenyra was pregnant with her first. not to mention that rhaenyra chose the father of her children, and while of course there was pressure on her to get pregnant, alicent had absolutely no choice in it. not when, or with who. would it have continued? would she have had more children if viserys didn't get so sick?

anyway. i just think it's weird that people have literally NO empathy for her, especially when it comes to her and her children.

“Daemon died fighting for his Queen!”

Did he though?

To me, he did exactly the opposite of fighting for her at the end.

Here is what Daemon knew:

He could stand a chance to fight Aemond and survive if he did it with Nettles, leaving him the chance (at the very least) to then fight the rest of the greens.

Rhaenyra then sent for Nettles head, and he would not stand for that so he let her escape. That’s when he decided to fight Aemond, though he stood no chance to survive (let’s not kid ourselves by saying that Daemon was just that powerful. He only killed Aemond by killing himself).

At this point the news of Ulf and Hugh being turncloaks have reached him, and for all he knew Silverwing and Vermithor were approaching Kings Landing, with Tessarion. Making a much larger threat than Vhagar, a threat that would be responded with Seasmoke, Syrax and Tyraxes at most, and he would not think Tyraxes would join and maybe even doubt Syrax.

Dreamfyre also resided in the pit at that point, and while Helaena was no fighter, and for all purposes mad at this point, that made the greens dragon advantage enermous.

TB:

Tyraxes (small)

Seasmoke

Syrax (unlikely to fight)

Caraxes (if Daemon were to join)

TG:

Vermithor

Silverwing

Dreamfyre

Tessarion

———————

We obviously know that Hugh and Ulf would turn again, and then + Addam and Daeron would die with Silverwing being the only survivor.

But he didn’t. He only knew that they had turned and were fighting with the greens, and he still decided to send Nettles away knowing he stood no chance of living.

To me, he did not die for Rhaenyra. He died because he gave Nettles the chance to flee. While knowing that Rhaenyra was pretty much mad, and was going to lose.

All in all, their decision to remove Nettles is entirely idiotic in my opinion.

You deserved so much better than that.

Aemond baby, get behind me.

jaehaera important, maelor important, jaehaerys important, helaena beloved by the smallfolk, aegon the father, all confirmed by the writer himself on aegon’s birthday

I find it fascinating how the general audience seems to view Viserys as this wise and peaceful ruler, girldad and loving husband who did nothing wrong his entire life.

Yet even according to show!canon he continually impregnated Aemma in hopes for a male heir, despite her having MULTIPLE life threatening pregnancies. We have a scene of him raping underage Alicent. He ignores all his sons and daughter resulting from said rapes. But he's such a cool dad because he lies to the entire realm on behalf of his firstborn daughter's bastards! He's a dragon dreamer and he believes the big Ice and Fire prophecy, yet he has no interest in his second daughter who clearly has visions of sorts. Certified girldad. He never ensures the safety of Alicent's children after his death because he didn't even protect them when he was alive. He does nothing when his son gets maimed, in fact, he protects his grandson who did it. He has a family dinner on the brink of death and we're supposed to feel bad for him because the kids are making a scene. Up to this point he simply ignores hostilities and never tries to make peace between the two sides.

But apparently he's smart and kind and progressive for naming a woman heir (out of fear of his brother getting to sit on the iron throne).
