[aletterinthenameofsanity]

let me wrap my teeth around the world (Rhaella gets a dragon)

Title is from "Eat Your Young" by Hozier. A dragon is born at Harrenhal, but it's not Rhaegar or Aerys.

Aka Rhaella Targaryen GETS A DRAGON!

---

At first, those that survive the blaze believe that the dragon hatched for the babe.

Of course, they say. Two royal lineages, began again. In fire and in blood.

Of course, Rhaella's half-mad husband says, our son is the Prince Who Was Promised. The product of our line. Our family might have perished, but he will bring us glory.

But Rhaella knows different.

The tiny creature is not born quite right. The tiny, silvered she-beast looks, for the most part, like the dragons of old. It has a mane of small spikes to its nape. It has two fully functional wings, guaranteed to grow wild and fierce. It has sharp claws and teeth and a snarl that even at its birth, no more than three feet in length, strikes fear in hearts.

But it is half-blind, one beady, black eye intelligent, one ice blue and clouded over. It is tarnished. It is defected.

It is not a mount for the prince that is promised. It is a dragon, a monster, made for a queen forced into her duty and broken by her brother husband.

And it is a gift like no other.

Nearly every member of the family has died at Summerhall, but she has secured the Targaryen family's might for generations, by birthing a babe and a beast in the same hour.

Balerion, her husband names the dragon, the Silver Dread. 

It evokes Targaryen might. It summons images of burnt fields and extinct houses and Valyrian apocalypse.

Bitterwing, Rhaella names it, something strange and ferocious rising in her chest. It is not a royal name, but she does not give a damn.

The little whelp is the first thing she can call her own, and Rhaella will cling tight to her scales.

She hands Rhaegar over to a wet nurse, but she visits Bitterwing as often as she can, whenever her husband is busy with his mistresses. He might fuck every flowered girl in King's Landing, but she doesn't care. She doesn't need his loyalty. In fact, she would love to see him never spend a night in her bed again.

Because these moments, these nights, with her dragon are hers.

Her officially sanctioned visits to the Dragonpit always include her son. She knows that Rhaegar visits the Dragonpit without her, accompanied by his monstrous father. Aerys sees the prophecies fulfilled in his son.

Bitterwing tolerates Rhaegar, because Rhaella holds some fondness for her son, but she holds none for her husband, and therefore does not constrain her dragon to politeness.

Her dragon can rage as she cannot, and it is considered natural. Dragon-like.

Dragons are monsters, she hears the servants whisper, and they're not entirely wrong.

Bitterwing is a monster, yes but she is such a beautiful one.

No matter how many times her husband summoned her to his bed, no matter how many times she emerges bruised and bloody and broken-boned, she is not bowed. She is not bent.

Because for the first time in her life, Rhaella cradles power. Not within her and her womb, but within her first friend. 

Rhaella lets out her first laugh since her wedding the first night that Bitterwing lets out a jet of flame. It stutters after seconds, and Bitterwing hiccups, and Rhaella can't help the giggle that emerges from her lips. Bitterwing's eyes glitter, something curving her snout. Rhaella reaches out and snuggles into Bitterwing's neck, Bitterwing's scales warm and smooth and comforting against her bruised cheek.

Bitterwing grows long and and sinuous, more serpentine than dragon-like, but she is graceful and loves Rhaella's hand against her snout and snaps at Aerys when he gets too close, and that is all Rhaella could wish for.

***

Years pass. Rhaella is raped into birthing her second son, and Aerys announces before the court that he will give up his mistresses for his Queen, and Rhaella cannot stand to be the only outlet of his bites and his bruises and his burns.

She is no warrior. She is no knight. Her arms are too thin and weak to wield a sword. She has been told she is too delicate to study tactics or ponder war.

But she is a survivor.

And she will be a dragonrider.

Rhaella steals down to the Dragon Pit and climbs Bitterwing's back for the first time. She is sore- she is always sore- but her legs clench around her dragon's back and the warmth soothes some of the ache away.

And Rhaella rides her best friend in this wretched world through the roof of the throne room.

Rhaella is not wearing armor, but Bitterwing dives in such a way that her armored belly takes the brunt of the damage. Rhaella ends up with some scrapes and a cut across her lower leg, but it is worth it for Bitterwing to land in front of the Iron Throne, Aerys ' head in her maw and his corpse beneath her legs.

They will call Rhaella the Kingslayer, the Kinslayer. Many will want to take her power from her. They will want to execute her for her crimes. They will want to rebel.

But everyone fears another Field of Fire, and so they will not.

She is a Targaryen. She is the only person in the world with a dragon. She will never have to lay beneath a man again if she does not want to.

She steps to the throne and sits herself upon it and for the first time in her entire life, she does not fear it.

Rhaegar is her heir, but he has no dragon. Not yet. And without a dragon or her abdication or her death, he cannot hope to be King.

Queen Rhaella, First of Her Name, Kingslayer, Kinslayer, Abomination, yes- but also Queen Rhaella the Just, Queen Rhaella the Breaker, and the only Rider of a dragon in the known world takes the throne and the crown of the Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm.

She declares crafty, clever Olenna Tyrell her hand of the queen, reaffirming the Riverlands' loyalty to the crown, and attends Council meetings with Bitterwing by her side until Bitterwing grows too large to fit into the castle. Then Rhaella moves the Council out into the courtyard, erecting a series of stone seats for the Council to meet under the watchful gaze of her beloved Bitterwing, her hand on Bitterwing's scales a constant reminder to the Council of her power.

She is the only one with a dragon. Thus, she is the only one with power, and it tastes oh so sweet.

She passes laws regarding the welfare of wives and the punishments upon men that dare to lay hands on their Brides. The realm thinks her delicate, unwilling to enforce her laws, but Bitterwing snaps her teeth and the Lord's head goes flying and none dare question Rhaella's iron grip on justice. She destroys male primogeniture in favor of the eldest child inheriting, as in Dorne.

And years later, she will take a queen consort. She has an heir and a spare; she has no need to marry a man that she has no desire for. She has no need to give some man the power of Targaryen kings. She will marry a widowed Meria Martell, who came on a visit in the name of her mother's Dayne house and her husband's Martell house. She is woman with a harsh face, all long lines against dark skin, but has a sparkle in her eye, a clever wit, and a quick laugh. She shrieks with joy the first time Rhaella takes her up on Bitterwing in a saddle crafted for two souls, a wedding gift from the leather workers of the North.

(Rhaella does not give a shit what the Faith says about homosexuality. The Stranger was the only one of them to ever treat her kindly, and she has no desire to embrace any of the others. There is already one Targaryen exception; let there be another until she can persuade the Council to expand the freedom to all.)

Meria leaves her sons in Dorne—heir Doran and the vivacious Oberon- but she brings young Elia with her to court, where she becomes one of Rhaella's ladies.

But in the meantime, Rhaella raises her unruly boys not to be violent, to insist on control, to understand gentleness. To be tender with their women while being stern enough to be fair and just leaders of the Seven Kingdoms. She slaps Viserys the first time he lays a hand on a woman in a way he shouldn't. She does it right in front of the court, and raises the baseborn girl, a bastard of her husband's, to one of her ladies. Ceryse and Elia get along like a house on fire, and it is to no one's surprise that Elia and Ceryse elope. It ends up a scandal that will be remembered for decades, the two of them disappearing off to Essos without a second glance, but Rhaella and Meria receive letters at least thrice a year updating them on the adventures of their daughters-turned-explorers, and they don't mind the mark on their legacy. Neither Ceryse nor Elia will ever die on the birthing bed nor under the hand of a man, only as a consequence of their own ventures, and that is the greatest fate they can ask for.

Rhaegar doesn't turn prophecy into madness. His mother has a dragon. He has no reason to go seeking for a way to save his house and his world. Rhaegar marries Robarra Baratheon, the closest cousin he has, while Viserys crowns Lyanna Stark the Queen of Love and Beauty at his brother's engagement tourney.

Meria suggests matching Cersei Lannister with Stannis Baratheon, an entreaty to Tywin Lannister to darken the gleam in his eye when he learned his daughter would be passed over for Princess of the Realm.

Neither Rhaegar nor Viserys hatch a dragon, but when Rhaegar and Robarra place one of Bitterwing's eggs in the cradle of their eldest daughter and heir, silver-curled Argella Targaryen, who has eyes as dark as ink, it hatches, a squat dark blue she-beast with a nasty snarl, guaranteed to be a mighty war beast. Robarra chooses Elenei, the storm goddess, as the name of her daughter's dragon.

Argella grows stubborn and quick with a sword and even quicker to learn. She is no delicate flower like her Targaryen grandmother; if she falls down, she bounces right back up. If she wasn't a Princess and the heir to the throne, Rhaella suspects she would spit on the ground.

And Argella and Elenei bond like none in modern history. While Bitterwing was as melancholy as her Queen at first, Elenei is a rambunctious dragon who loves to spin in the air, seemingly taking great joy from the shrieks of laughter and urging towards speed that her Princess desires.

Robarra births a son next, but he is not an heir; Argella will be the Iron Queen after Rhaegar. Rather, dark-haired and blue-eyed Jaehaerys is betrothed to Margaery Tyrell. He hatches no dragon, but does make a name for himself in tourneys. Some day, he will be the Prince of Dragonstone and sire heirs for House Tyrell; for now, he squires for his father, as his sister did before him.

Robarra's third child, golden-haired and sallow-faced Steffon, inherits his father's love for books, and becomes a maester. He is curious but lacks all Targaryen or Baratheon temper, and will do well integrating Rhaella's new laws into the beliefs of Oldtown.

A year after Jaehaerys's birth, Viserys and Lyanna's raven-haired, long-faced babe Lyarra hatches her own crimson-scaled beast. Night Breaker, they decide to name him.

Lyarra does not have her cousin's temper. But she does have a mind for tactics, for history, for politics and diplomacy that Argella's storm blood sometimes lacks. She and Steffon get along well, debating war tactics and history and politics in the solar. Someday, she will be her cousin's Hand. For now, she gets the best training in the world and embraces Night Breaker as her trusted mount for traveling the Realm, learning everything she can about the people.

Rhaella presides over all of her grandchildren, satisfaction burning in her chest at the knowledge that none of their mothers were pressed into the marriage bed unwillingly. She checks in with Robarra and Lyanna regularly, treats them as Princesses and ladies in her family. Family banquets are joyous affairs, full of boisterous laughter and japes and healthy debates and good-natured needling. Fear does not make itself any of her family’s bedfellow.

Meria holds Rhaella’s hand and kisses her cheek in front of the children and grandchildren and Rhaegar teases them for being too scandalously affectionate. Viserys rolls his eyes at his brother and japes that nothing a Targaryen does can be scandalous- they are the exception, not the rule. Viserys’ she-wolf wife flicks him on the upper arm, and Viserys offers her a chagrined smile.

And above it all, Rhaella smiles, unburdened by abuse and fear.

Rhaella is not Visenya or Aegon or Maegor. She does not know how to wield a sword, how to command an army. She is no warrior. She never becomes one. She never wanted power for its own sake; she wanted it to guarantee safety and happiness for herself and those she loves.

But she commands a dragon, and her family, and that will win her the Realm.

***

When the Others begin to rise in the north, the women of House Targaryen will be ready. Lyarra, Argella, and Rhaella will soar through the sky, the three violet-eyed heads of the dragon. Baratheon and Stark and Targaryen, Elenei and Night Breaker and Bitterwing. One silver, one blue, one red.

They will write songs about this battle. About the swinging of uncovered Valyrian steel, about the roar of dragonfire, about the Storm Queen, the Princess of Ice, and the Queen of Fire and Blood.

A song of ice and fire indeed.

The Rebellion is lost but not without heavy casualties on the Targaryen side. King Aerys II has been slain by Jaime Lannister. Prince Rhaegar has fallen at the Trident in combat against Robert Baratheon. The mountain also slew the prince’s firstborn son before being felled by Dornish soldiers coming to the aid of the new Queen Elia Targaryen nee Martell first of her name, Queen Regent of the seven Kingdoms. Lady Lyanna Targaryen nee Stark dies in childbirth in the broken tower with her brother Ned and the KIngsguards serving her by her side. She gives birth to Rhaegar’s son who is sent away to be fostered North with the starks.

The realm lives in relative peace with Queen Rhaella as Regent to Viserys III Targaryen until his untimely death a year before his coronation. Throwing the realm into a succession crisis.

BLATANTLY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU RIGHT NOW. ALL OF THESE ASOIAF GO.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA you are the worst. I love you though. I did NOT drink enough for this but here we go

Blorbo: tyrion obviously. Is he a murderer? Yes. Is he deeply problematic? Also yes. Would I die and kill for him? Without a second thought . Just cannot explain to you how much this fictional man MOVES MY INSIDES I actually cry for him. It's pathetic

Scrunkly: THE ONE AND ONLY SANSA STARK. the book version of Sansa. I WILL REGRE5 THIS IN THE MORNIGBA BECAHSE I'm drunk but I'm going to say this. I think Tumblr has ruined the experience of being a true Sansa Stan because of the show and because there's a lot of rhetoric around Sansa that feels like white feminism at its best and TERF philosophy at its worst. That being said: the thing I love about Sansa the most is how NORMAL she is. She is a little spoiled but kind, she can be cruel and clever, she has self steem issues, she trusts the wrong older men, she grew up being fed Disney romantic shit, she just wants to go home again. She's very relatable to me in the sense she is NOT a BAMF, might be one of the only POV women who are not an actual BAMF. And that is my favorite version of her. Just a girl going through massive trauma and trying to remain kind. Like same

Scrimblo bimblo: meera reed and elia Martell. will never shut up about meera reed and elia being the most important women in Westeros

Glup shitto (where did you get these nomenclature??? I love it): penny. But she's not obscure. In fact penny is a beam of light in my darkest nighr (am I doing this right?? J don't think i am.)

Poor little meow meow: OK, so. I think the most accurate answer to that would be tyrion again. But also, in a way, littlefinger? Because he [redacted] is simply and utterly pathetic and pitiful, and every time he appears I'm like "you poor, poor thing. Your end will be so gruesome." I find him fascinating!!! As a character!! Still want him to die though

Horse plinko: ..... Jon Snow. No I won't elaborate (but i hope it's obvious)

Eeby deeby: randyll tarly. He's a fascist like tywin, but dumb. Literally no narrative redemption for this man

Ok NOW YOU

My Top 5 Elia Martell Fancasts

1. Golshifteh Farahani (Iranian actress)

This is the fancast I default to in all of my stories with Elia as a character. Golshifteh’s dark hooded eyes, olive skin, and regal bearing is how I imagine Elia to look like, especially in an AU where she survives after 283 AC and is either queen or queen mother. The movie Finding Altamaria has her dressed in historical clothing that make for perfect gifs and images for Elia fancasts!

This is the fancast I’m using for Elia in both Queen of the May and The Girl with Blood Moon Eyes

2. Rania Benchegra (Moroccan model)

I feel this is a great fancast to use for Elia in an AU where she never marries Rhaegar. I believe that marrying Rhaegar directly led to her decline in health and eventual death (especially since the Targaryens at the time were either abusers or being abused), and if she were to marry someone else like Jaime Lannister or Baelor Hightower or the Sealord of Braavos or etc, perhaps she would’ve maintained a healthier vitality and energy.

This is the fancast I’m using for Elia in Worth Their Weight in Gold

3. Medalion Rahimi (Russian-Iranian actress)

Usually people use this fancast for Elia’s daughter Rhaenys, and I don’t disagree that she’s a good fit for Rhaenys as well. But I feel that Medalion is perfect for a younger Elia in Sunspear and the Water Gardens, and during her pre-Harrenhal marriage to Rhaegar. Her role as Princess Isabella in Still Star-Crossed is a great source of gifs and images for court wear!

4. Sofia Boutella (Algerian-French actress)

This is a great fancast for a BAMF!Elia fighting for her rights in an AU where either she’s been (unlawfully!) set aside by Rhaegar or been exiled after the Rebellion. I think sometimes we all forget that Elia was just 25-26 during the Rebellion and is far from being a solely mother-type figure. And as the sister to the Red Viper of Dorne and daughter of a Ruling Princess, I doubt she would go quietly into the good night with whatever fate foolish men would intend for her!

5. Azita Ghanizada (Afghani-American actress)

I believe this is a great fancast for an Elia in a modern!AU who has divorced Rhaegar, took the kids and the house, and is now living her best life. This also works in general for an older Elia who has survived everything thrown at her and now she and her children and family are thriving. Azita came to the US as a political refugee, and her strength as a survivor and as an actress in Hollywood where MENA actors are rarely hired outside of “foreigner” roles shows in her smile and bearing; I feel this is the strength that Elia would have.

+1: Aishwarya Rai (Indian actress)

I’ve seen quite a few fancasts of Aishwarya as Elia (and as Rhaenys), but I generally don’t use this fancast because she has lighter eyes and skin than I write Elia as having, and I generally like to use MENA and Latina fancasts whenever possible. However, Aishwarya is effortlessly graceful and is one of the most beautiful women in the world—and that is exactly the vibe for Elia that I love to see. So if you want an Elia that is adored and respected throughout Westeros, this could be the fancast you need.

Myrcella was born to this world with no hope of surviving unscathed. Sister to Joffrey Baratheon lannister waters, she never even had a chance to try. But the wolves, they're pounding on the door, howling to be let in, and war is at the gates, the lion's den is crumbling around her, and Myrcella realizes that no one will protect girls like her.

Sansa is alone and no one will be there to protect her in time.

Myrcella finally becomes the lioness she always was meant to be, she pulls on her golden pelt and raises her sword, and gods be damned, her brother's reign of terror will end. Even if she must be the one to end it herself.

Also: In which Myrcella Baratheon is a girl hardened by the cruelty of men and the world, and finally decides that if no one will be her sheild then she'll arm herself and slit the throats of the little boys who try to lay their hands on her. A world where the Starks lose only their father instead of a war, the Frey's were taken care of before they became a problem, and Myrcella wasn't shipped off to Dorne and instead spent her time in King's Landing protecting Sansa Stark by all means necessary from the cruelty of her brother.
