Baratheon!Aegon & Lannister!Helaena AU
According to common whispers, Helaena Lannister, the second daughter of Lord Tywin, and Aegon Baratheon, one of King Robert's younger brothers, were keeping a secret relationship before The War of the Five Kings, even if they were both already married to other people...
If aegon is the sun and helaena is the moon are jaehaerys, jaehaera and maelor their world? The moon revolves around the earth, and both the moon and the earth revolves around the sun, finding warmth. And the sun gives it to them, it gives them light, warmth and life. During the day the sun grants its light upon the earth and during the night, the moon looks over its world, glistening even in the darkest night, with the light it borrows from the sun, and the sun never asks for anything in return. They exist in the same panel yet they never meet, their world is their middle ground, the string that connects them. And if the sun and the moon ever met, we know it would be an apocalypse.
Moon is goddess, wife of sun
helaena - moon
aegon - sun
aegon & helaena - sun & moon
AEGON AND HELAENA; I‘m the sun and you‘re the moon and you can‘t touch me and I keep chasing you.

Helaena: that's your genes
Aegon: I think we both have the same genes but yeah for sure
I have nothing against young alicent I love her but older alicent being given the scene of right after jaehaerys instead of aegon will forever pain me LIKE THEY HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT AND DIDNT why I will forever wish to know, plus we would have got to see the aftermath of that scene in the next one like why they so obsessed with alicent like I get it she's like a main character for some reason but the war is between aegon and rhaenyra for the throne.
btw if there's any fanfics where it is aegon finding out right after instead of alicent tell me I'd eat that shit up so fast
I really don't understand the desire of the screenwriters to make absolutely everything in this series revolve around Alicent. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but all the events of the series REALLY don't need to be focused on her. Show me how Helaena runs to Aegon with her daughter in her arms. She finds him in the throne room and the whole company freezes, seeing her in tears, with a cut on her neck. The smile fades from Aegon's face when he realizes that something irreparable has happened. He sobers up immediately. Finish the episode on his face when Helaena says that Jaehaerys was killed and after we were watching the development of Aegon's relationship with his son, it'll hurt. Let me see the moment when he realizes that while he was getting drunk with friends on the throne, his son was being killed. Show me his eyes when he realizes that the fragile happiness he had was destroyed and he couldn't prevent it in any way. Children are the only thing these two have in common, it's their tragedy, don't take it away from them.
SO excited for this!!!

"you are the only person in the world who understands me and went through the same thing as me but we can't find it in ourselves to be there for each other"
