All   sentences   are   taken   from   HBO's   House   of   the   Dragon   season   two  six episode, smallfolk.   Change   names,   pronouns,   locations   as   you   see   fit.   Caution   for   foul   language, implied death  and   everything   that   is   associated   with   A   Song   of   Ice   and   Fire.

She   never   even   wanted   it.   The   crown.   She   spared   it   no   thought.

Perhaps   those   who   strive   for   it   are   the   least   suited   to   wear   it.

   Well,   that's   perhaps   why   your   brother   gave   the   crown   to   her.   

Don't   lecture   me!

Viserys   never   wanted   it   himself,   if   you   recall.   It   came   to   him,   and   he   did   his   best.   It's   not   a   prize   to   be   won,   but   a   burden   to   bear.

People   will   pity   you   either   behind   your   back...   or   in   your   presence.   And   they   will   stare   at   you,   or...   or   turn   away.   And   they   will   underestimate   you.   And   this   will   be   your   advantage.

I   am   but   a   man.   The   dragons   are   gods.   Your   Grace   honors   me   beyond   what   I   deserve.

I   do   not   compel   you   to   do   this.   It   has   never   been   attempted   before.   

To   claim   a   dragon,   you   must   also   be   prepared   to   die.

   I   swore   to   ward   my   queen   with   all   my   strength,   and   to   give   my   blood   for   hers.

Then   perhaps   the   gods   will   favor   us.

Have   the   indignities   of   your   childhood   not   yet   sufficiently   been   avenged?

You   are   not   the   player,   but   a   piece   on   the   board.

We are ready to march at your command, my lord.

I suppose you will make for Harrenhal at once.

Tell my brother we are ready to march as soon as Prince Aemond is able to join us… on Vhagar.

My men have had a long march. They are most eager to embrace the hospitality of your keep.

I am the prince regent, not a dog to be called to heel.

My prince… you cannot mean to treat with the Free Cities.

The Triarchy may play at accepting terms, but they are not to be trusted.

What has come of our letters to the Greyjoys?

The Red Kraken waits, seeking his best advantage.

An offer of marriage, perhaps, to the dowager queen?

Even if the blockade could be broken, are we to invite these alien raiders into our waters, so close to King’s Landing?

Your Grace, if Daemon prevails in the Riverlands, I no longer have the numbers to challenge him.

I will fly out to meet you when the time is ripe.

My uncle is a challenge I welcome… if he dares face me.

I caution you, Aemond, boldness is one thing, but overconfidence…

Remind me of your place on the small council.

That need is ended. You are no longer obliged.

This council has need of a tempering voice.

I’m sure you’ll be much pleased to return to more… domestic pursuits.

I need more dragonriders for Vermithor and Silverwing, and for Seasmoke, who I believe misses his bond.

She has attempted it, alas, but the dragons here would not take her as a rider.

And I had always heard, as you know, that the Darklyns and the Targaryens had some common blood.

You should’ve been at my side. But instead you chose to celebrate your own rise.

I have only ever defended you.

Or are you perhaps the culprit who has been tampering with my peace?

Perhaps… you resent my being here.

You weren’t going to bid me farewell?

The ghost of Harren the Black moaning his curses from Kingspyre Tower.

I awake and I do not know where I’ve been.

You are not the player, but a piece on the board.

You struggle to see there’s an anger that blinds you.

If you have any counsel for dealing with the Riverlords, I���d be glad of it.

Daemon Targaryen asking for help?

House Tully is not the largest house in the Riverlands, nor is it the richest, but it is the most stable.

The Tullys’ wisdom has kept the river houses in line for centuries.

I need help, Alys.

Do nothing now. In three days’ time, the winds will shift.

I was younger than you when I took my first command.

King Viserys loved his feasts and his wine, but never while our smallfolk went without.

Mm, aye. But he’s gone now… and his rightful heir denied her seat.

It is my fault, I think, that you have forgotten to fear me.

My grandsire may be overcautious, but his devotion to his family has never been in doubt.

I am happy to report that His Grace the king has regained consciousness this morning, if only for a few moments.

He is stronger than I thought.

Not all of us, I suppose, are called to great deeds.

Some of us must serve in smaller ways… even if they are not what we would choose for ourselves.

Prince Reggio has answered your letter.

There is a large dragon in the Vale.

It is large and formidable, but alas, wild.

Will you lead us to war yourself?

My ruler is my mother. And I do not wish it otherwise.

And the symbols of authority are not jewels and gowns, but the shield and the sword.

We will still never match the strength of the Green armies. We need Daemon and his dragon.

May I be free for even one hour of the constant refrain of Daemon, Daemon, Daemon…

Yes, it seems the Red Keep, for all its privileges, may, in fact, be a less than salubrious environment for the forming of young men.

Was it the court or was it their mother?

I shall pray to the Warrior for your safe return.

This one stopped singing. Isn’t that strange?

Sheathe your swords!

The drink takes the pain away, but it dulls your mind.

You survived dragonfire. But I’m afraid you will never be whole.

Your mind… is all that remains to you.

Your brother rules in your place now, which means that your life is in danger.

I’m sorry. You needed me. I’m here now.

Sorrowful news from Riverrun, my king.

Young Oscar Tully is now Lord Paramount of the Riverlands.

Our own healer, Alys Rivers, volunteered her renowned skills. She plied her craft, but… there was naught more to be done.

My own son questions my capabilities. He thinks I need Daemon at my side.

2x03 - “The Burning Mill”

[vertbalise]

Genetics, chico. They never lie.

[vertbalise]

"One   look   at   the   people   on   the   street   can   tell   you   no   one   was   pleasant.   More   than   the   dragon,   I   believe   it's   what   was   done   to   Rhaenys.   Many   of   those   folk   remember   her   even   before   the   Great   Council."   And   she   had   been   beloved   by   the   people.   Rhaenys   made   her   choice   to   stand   with   Rhaenyra   and   now   paid   the   price   and   yet,   instead   of   perhaps   using   this   as   an   opportunity   to   get   the   smallfolk   on   their   side,   Gwayne   can   feel   the   burn   of   the   folks   around   them.   The   city   feels   more   and   more   in   deep   unrest.  

"Should've   let   me   sit   on   that   council   perhaps.   It   was   you   who   ruled   in   all   but   name   when   Viserys   was   ill   and   frail."   And   she   had   done   a   good   job   too,   as   well   taking   care   of   a   husband   who   was   older,   weak,   frail   and   dying.   Gwayne   thinks   she   is   too   much   of   a   saint   for   doing   all   of   that   and   enduring   but   errors   were   made   moments   after   the   man   died.  

"I   trust   you   more   than   I   trust   any   of   them,   your   sons   included,   Seven   Hells,   I   trust   sweet   Heleana's   ramblings   more   than   I   do   any   man   on   that   table."   A   sip   of   his   wine   eases   the   nerves   and   memories   of   battle   as   he   looks   at   the   fire   before   chosing   to   look   elsewhere.   How   he   wishes   for   home   in   those   moments.   "I   am   no   praying   man   but   I   might   need   to   start   now,   if   only   to   make   that   a   reality,   sister."

Alicent sets her needlework to the side and climbs to her feet, pouring two glasses of wine. She sets one in front of her brother and clasps the other to her chest. "I am sure the King's Hand had good reason for dragging Meleys through the streets like common cattle." She doesn't quite believe it, and the words taste bitter on her tongue. She, at least, had some level of loyalty.

"It shows them that Gods can fall," she whispers softly, shaking her head.

She settles back into her chair and her eyes trail his to the fire crackling in her fireplace. Her eyes flutter shut and she whispers a quiet prayer to the Gods for those fallen--and one more for the Princess Rhaenys.

Gwayne's recollection of the fighting didn't surprise her--she had surmised as much when Aemond returned with Aegon's blade. She takes a long sip of her wine and clutches the pendant at her throat. Like her brother, she doesn't dare voice her thoughts--not even in the safety of her bedroom.

"Well, that makes you one of very few men who trust me. The Council elected to have Aemond rule as Prince Regent. It was all but unanimous." There's a hint of devastation in her voice, recollecting the way Criston failed to meet her gaze as her condemned her to silence. "We must pray for his guidance to be just."

𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒

All sentences on this meme have been taken from Fourth' Wing Novel by Rebecca Yarros. You can change names, locations, pronouns and anything else you see fit. Fourth Wing is a YA Fantasy novel and includes suggestive topics as well the staple of fantasy these days; dragons.

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy.  A rider without their dragon is dead.

There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, Violence.

I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I'll do it.

You gave me your heart, and I'm keeping it-

Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs—on the probabilities.

Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?

I’m going to keep you. You’re mine, Violet.

I’ve been yours for longer than you could ever imagine.

Lies are comforting. Truth is painful.

I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been. I am infinite.

Oh, Gods.

Which one are you calling out for? Because it’s just you and me in this room, Vi, and I don’t share.

There is nothing more sacred than the Archives. Even temples can be rebuilt, but books cannot be rewritten.

The right way isn’t the only way.

One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.

I will not die today.

None of this is worth it without you.

You can't make me fall for you and then die.

You’re making us look bad. Stop it.

He cares for you. That’s already hard enough for him.

He cares about keeping me alive. There’s a difference.

You never considered that it was you I couldn’t stay away from?

You’re not going to handle me?

You still love me. It's possible.

I’m just… not as strong as other riders.

It’s hard to love a second home as much as the first.

I fucking love your hair. If you ever want to bring me to my knees or win an argument, just let it down. I’ll get the point.

Dragon relationships are absolutely incomprehensible.

You should try a human one sometime. Just as vicious, but less fire.

I appreciate the elevation to deity, but my name will do.

We can live as cowards or die as riders.

Dragons always know.

I'm over here keeping my hands and memories to myself because you asked me to, and you're fucking me with your eyes. That's not playing fair.

Told you to stop staring.

If you'd just man up and admit there's something between us, I would strip down to my skin so you could see every single inch of me. 

You will not fall. I will not allow it.

When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think about me?

I thought you said kissing me was a mistake.

Have you always been this tall?

I told you that I was the one who would decide when I'm ready to risk my heart, and I'm saying it.

You want me. And no, I'm not just talking about in bed. You. Want. Me, Xaden Riorson. 

Remember that folklore is passed from one generation to the next to teach us about our past. If we lose it, we lose the links to our past.

Gods, yes. This is exactly what I need.

They’re a mated pair, Tairn and Sgaeyl. The strongest bonded pair in centuries.

Dragons value strength and cunning and... ferocity in their riders.

And this mouth. All I ever want to do is kiss you, even when you piss me off.

Aren't you a little small for a dragon rider?

If I get my hands on you, really, honestly get my hands on you, I don't know if I'll be able to stop.

They choose for reasons they don’t see fit to share with us. And not all strength is physical, Violet.

Even the most effective poisons come in pretty package.

There is no stronger bond than that between two mated dragons.

Now I take care of you.

We will feast on their bones, Silver One.

I'd have to be a masochist to sleep with you, and I can assure you, I'm not.

The scars are a reminder.

And now I’m a rider. Riders fight.

Dragons pay no heed to your puny gods.

His father was the Great Betrayer. He led the rebellion.

We both know this is a bad idea.

The pursuit of knowledge is the key to unlocking the door to wisdom.

Nature likes all things in balance.

In war, people die. It’s not glorious like the bards sing about.

Your mother has never understood that while riders may be the weapons of our kingdom, it’s the scribes who have all the real power in this world.

At some point, you and I are going to have to start trusting each other.

Do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? It would be faster.

Holy shit. I’m on the back of a dragon.

I can't think when you look at me like that.

Guess everyone wants to be a dragon rider until they’re actually twenty feet away from one.

...power can quickly turn and control you.

If you're looking for a little fun, I'm happy to oblige-

I'm not a damned liability.

When exactly did you decide not to ruin me?

You could command the sky to surrender all its power.

You're overstepping.

He is not sleeping in my room.

Fuck, I'm never going to get enough of you, am I?

Humans have no say in the laws of dragons.

His rider died in the Tyrrish rebellion.

Don't you look handsome.

I've heard healer cadets have a thing for riders.

If I get my hands on you, really, honestly get my hands on you, I don't know if I'll be able to stop.

Stop being so fucking honorable.

I'm not dignifying that with a response. This is an order.

For there, in the land beyond the shadows, were monsters that dwelled in the night and dined on the souls of children who wandered too close to the woods.

But keeping me safe is keeping me from growing, too.

Too heavy. I’m pretty quick with daggers, though.

All   sentences   are   taken   from   a goodreads search of the keyword: jealous and jealousy.   Change   names,   pronouns,   locations   as   you   see   fit.   Caution as some might contain some level of posssesiveness.

The worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for you.

Isn't it kind of silly to think that tearing someone else down builds you up?

You can only be jealous of someone who has something you think you ought to have yourself.

So when did I become so special? When they carted me off to the Capitol?

Well, I'm so sorry that I can't be the right kind of monster for you, Bella.

The only thing more frustrating than slanderers is those foolish enough to listen to them.

 I’m jealous of every minute you spend with him, of every concerned expression you send his way, of every tear shed, of every glance, every touch, and every thought. 

You can't be rude to everyone who talks to me.

And why not? Cramping your style, am I?

First of all, are we so sure he really is a prince? And second, you’re just jealous.

I’ve never been jealous before I met you, it burns, luv.

Some nights, watching you with other men on your jobs, I think it will drive me mad.

He seems like a man who knows what he wants, and the problem is he wants what I want.

I want to beat the hell out of any man who’s had you—you’d be smart to keep them the hell away from me—but nothing in your past can change how I feel about you.

Just because I can't have you right now, doesn't mean I'm okay with him having you.

There's always this one girl.

All I have to do is look at you, and I lust. 

Envy is for people who don’t have the self-esteem to be jealous.

You can't own a human being.

Who. Hit. You?

 I'm not going to harm her. You, on the other hand, I'm going to destroy.

You're Stuck with me.Not for a few decades,not for centuries. You're tied to me forever.

A jealous husband is an ugly thing.

You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not: I need not ask you; because you never felt love. 

It’s not for me to like her. I’m not the one making plans for Lupercalia with her.

It's not what you think.

He always that overprotective?

If you don’t protect what belongs to you, then sooner or later, it belongs to someone else. 

Not every lover can appreciate such spices. But I think you can.

I don't take orders from brutes.

Am I to understand that you would like to dance with me?

Does it bother you, that I was kissing Daniel?

I thought we'd already covered that yesterday. I'm always jealous. And so are you.

I’m not at all sure that I’m not a little jealous of her… we women are such cats, aren’t we? 

What got under my skin is that you smiled at him.

I heard what you told him. That you thought it would be easy to fall in love with him.

You can't make games with anyone.

Envy is bad for your skin.

FREDDIE FOX as Gwayne Hightower | 2.04

[vertbalise]

the only person this man trust is his father and sister.

[vertbalise]

"It   does   not   sit   well,   sister."   Feels   like   a   bad   omen   at   best.   "Not   exactly   my   idea   but   Ser   Criston.   He   is   my   superior."   He   could   not   turn   around   and   said   no,   as   he   too   had   to   make   it   home   to   his   sister.   "Who   is   to   say   that   showing   the   smallfolk   one   can   slain   a   dragon   will   not   tell   them   they   can   storm   the   Keep   and   do   the   same   to   the   dragons   here?"  

Targaryens   were   as   close   to   Gods   as   they   could   be   with   their   dragons,   but   showing   the   smallfolk   that   dragons   can   be   slain,   then   that   only   meant   one   thing;   that   they   were   not   gods,   or   that   Gods   can   bleed.   He   sets   his   eyes   on   the   fire   that   had   been   lit   in   her   room   before   focusing   back   on   her   voice   as   it   calls   to   him.   "Fire.   People   aflames,   screaming.   Bodies   turn   to   ashes   in   just   seconds.   I   think   I   have   dirt   in   my   clothes   but   it's   another   soldiers'   ashes."  

Now   the   dragons   had   taken   the   war,   and   they   will   burn.   "From   where   we   all   stood,   Vhagar's   fire   burned   Rhaenys   dragon   but   did   so   too   with   Aegon   and   Sunfyre."   Friendly   accidental   fire   or   something   else?   He   does   not   know   or   doesn't   dare   say   out   loud.   "If   you   trust   your   son,   then   I   trust   you."

Even though she disagreed with the entire SCHEME at Rook's Rest, she still felt the need to defend both Criston and Aemond. She sits, embroidering a night shirt for her granddaughter, containing her frustration. "I am sure Ser Criston had a good reason for his decisions. And Aemond seems to have helped cinch the victory."

If they could even call it a victory.

"And I recall you all paraded Meleys' head around and proclaimed Aegon to have slain her," Alicent arched a brow and shakes her head. "I trust Ser Criston with my life, as I have for the past twenty years." She's quiet and she lifts her head up from her needlework.

"Gwayne...what did you see there?"

"a   fair   assumption.   I   believe   we   had   hardly   spoke   since   you   were   born."   he   had   remained   in   oldtown   from   most   of   it   truly,   and   he   had   left   king's   landing   after   his   sister's   anniversary   with   viserys,   when   daeron   was   send   there   back   home,   his   focus   had   been   on   him   mainly   but   now   all   the   family   is   being   reunited,   for   better   or   worse.

  he   gives   jaehaera   her   dragon   toy   back,   so   meek   compared   to   the   real   creatures   and   looks   back   at   his   niece.   "I   do   care.   I   simply   been   away   with   your   brother."   who   was   not   made   to   be   in   king's   landing   as   of   yet.   as   far   as   he   is   aware,   his   father   was   sent   back   home   the   moment   he   stepped   foot   on   the   road   to   the   capital.

"I   am   making   no   arguments   with   you   or   against   you,   sister.   Simply   stating   a   fact."   Battle   dust   still   in   his   throat,   he   is   certain   he   should   take   three   baths   a   day   in   order   for   the   smoke   and   fire   to   leave   his   body,   while   it   remains   on   his   eyes   and   memory.   "I   do   not   trust   Ser   Criston's   intentions."   And   certainly   not   after   that   battle,   how   awfully   aware   the   other   man   seemed   that   mistakes   were   make.

  Gwayne   cannot   even   feel   the   satisfaction   of   knowing   the   other   man's   ego   had   been   trumped   down   because   in   order   for   that,   his   nephew   was   taken   down,   in   risk   of   losing   dear   life   and   another   nephew   stepping   as   regent.   "Or   your   other   son,   Aegon.   He   is   as   much   a   loose   canon   as   his   dragon,   Vhagar."
