king aegon ii targaryen and queen consort helaena targaryen

My commission of modern Helaena and Aegon by the lovely @raitnam 💗

[tomphias]

how do you envision modern helaegon?💖

oh man! there's so many answers to this. they could be anything. you could go with the sophisticated version.. that being that they are still rich and are born into money. which i do like ofc! but i prefer my modern day helaegon a bit grimey if im being honest. like, trailer trash, their mama was a junkie type beat. i threw together some quick mood boards for you anon.

i imagine aegon is a major loose canon, he's a small time drug dealer and has a bad coke habit. he's definitely been arrested more than once and has seen his fair share of bar fights. the only soft spot he has is for his family, especially his little sister.

helaena on the other hand, is a quiet girl ofc. she draws and reads a lot. prefers to spend her time out in the creek behind their trailer, finding cute little creatures. when aegon joins her occasionally, he sits there in silence while she explains to him all about her new friends lol.

he comes home drunk, a lot, and ends up in her bed. whether he's fucking her brains out or just cuddling her, mumbling nonsense. she's just happy when he makes it home. 🖤

Queen Helaena demanded to see her husband, and no one dared to stop her. Her face immediately contorted into terror as she saw him, hands instinctively moving to her stomach in a protective gesture.

"Will he live?"

Maester Orwyle could not meet her eyes when he had to speak a lie.

"He has a strong will, my queen, we should pray for him."

Helaena was left alone with her husband, and her eyes filled with tears. Despite being too early for the babe to kick, she felt something in her stomach, a sense of movement that wasn't truly there.

She stepped closer, hearing Aegon's heavy breathing, it didn't sound normal. Her hands were shaking as she carefully touched his unburned hand. Even with the burn ointment covering his body and the effects of milk of the poppy, the pain was evident in his expression.

Deep down, she knew it was going to happen and there was nothing she could do to stop it. The thought only made her feel worse.

"I'm pregnant, Aegon," she whispered, placing his limp hand on her stomach. "You can't leave us."

Maybe he heard her, because despite the pitiful looks she received every day, her husband refused to let go.

And she refused to let go of him, visiting him for hours: simply sitting by his bedside, listening to his labored breathing.

She knew that Aegon would live, but her heart was heavy with the knowledge that it would not be for long, before Helaena would never see him again, nor would he see their son.

A queen's burden was to know everything. Even her own downfall.

AU: Aegon Hightower is princess Helaena's cousin. They grew up together, only being apart for a couple of years when Aegon had to leave to the Oldtown. When he returns, Aegon suddenly realizes that he has already been in love with Helaena and his feelings have only grown stronger with each passing day.

The princess notices changes in him: he became a man, how gentle and kind he's to her, his longing gazes, his touch — all of it stirring something inside of her. Something an unmarried, already promised woman, should not feel for anyone.

No matter how much she cries when her marriage is announced and how much she pleads with her mother not to go through with it, it cannot be stopped – the king has made up his mind.

But it's too late – strong feelings have already taken root in their hearts. So they find little moments: stolen glances, hands touching as they pass by each another, hidden smiles, sneaking into chambers in the dead of night, heavy breathing and stolen kisses. All of these moments make them feel alive.

Years went by, and Aegon never left her side, now serving as her guard.

"Wait, don't go."

She freezes, as warm hands hold her in place. Helaena presses her daughter closer, watching Aegon study Jaehaera's little face.

"She does look like her father, doesn't she?"

His voice falters, and Helaena feels her stomach tighten as she looks back at him, studying his features.

A little hand reaches out to wrap around his big finger, the girl gazes up at him with the same eyes, smiling innocently.

"Yes, she does."
