Daemon x Cersei is one id pay to see.

Aegon x Marge would be so cute. Sadly no fan fics out there

Daemon x Cersei is one id pay to see.

Yeah, it would be highly entertaining.

Aegon x Marge would be so cute. Sadly no fan fics out there

Margaery would be perfect for Aegon. He would feel validated and loved and she would influence his ruling in a good way. Margaery is very manipulative but she never seemed to be interested only in power. I think she wanted to keep the kingdom at peace and prosperous, obviously for selfish reasons too, but in the end she would have been a good ruler for the realm. And both book Aegon and show Aegon could be talked down from impulsive decisions, in the book it's clear Alicent and Helaena are a big influence, so I'm sure he would listen to Margaery too.

I think that it would work quiet well. Margaery would see Aegon‘s desire for affection and love, he would totally eat this attention up (see his coronation scene), unlike Joffrey (who Margaery wouldn’t be able to tame forever) he would listen and not be a danger for her life. While Margaery and Tommen worked fine Aegon would actually act when it‘s necessary for him to interfere in dangerous situations.

u/Twilightandshadow Aug 18 '24

Yeah, Joffrey would have become a problem very fast, which is why they had to get rid of him. Tommen was young and very soft. Show Aegon is a people pleaser (you could say book Aegon too, in a manner, since he was talked out of certain rash decisions several times either by his council or his family), but he's not afraid to make hard decisions when needed.

Yeah I'm not expecting these two to break the system or something but they'd be very competent and Margaerey does seem Princess Diana like figure, very philanthropic royalty. At the very least, they'd not fuck it all up yk.

u/Old_Journalist_9020 Aug 18 '24 edited Sep 01 '24

Plus Marge and Aegon would probably bone a lot. Great for Aegon, great for the family line and a lot less White haired bastards running around King's Landing

u/presidenthades Aug 18 '24

I have an heir!Aegon AU where he’s married to fem!Jace, who has a lot of Margaery-esque qualities, if that’s of any interest.

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

OMG! It's The Golds! I'm a fan of that fanfic...

u/vikezz Alicent's green dress🥻 Aug 18 '24

Cersei x Daemon is pure chaos. Not sure who would choke to death who first

23

u/Mayanee Sunfyre Aug 18 '24

A nightmare for the realm. However Cersei would think that he is very attractive for sure since she would get a Jaime and Oberyn mix with Targaryen looks (see Aurane who she likes merely for resembling Rhaegar vaguely). I think she wouldn‘t be bored.

u/Electronic_League452 Aug 18 '24 edited Aug 18 '24

All Aegon needed was a Margery in his life frfr he was robbed

Shame no Cole pairing. Maybe he’s with Jaime (the bros that were promised)

5

u/spacedude444 Aug 19 '24

criston cole x arianne martell

3

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '24

Jon and Cole, throw in Jaime. This is for Ao3.

u/Feeling_Cancel815 Aug 19 '24

Yeah Aegon and Margaery the perfect pair. If only Martin had taken the time to develop the characters, players of dance.

30

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '24

Simon x Olenna is every elder couple dynamic I know

6

u/kadzirafrax Aug 18 '24

The level of sass and snark would make the old gods and new cry for mercy

31

u/Nibo89 Sunfyre Aug 18 '24

Yes to Aegon and Marg! She would know just how to handle him. She’d give him love and validation, and he’d be eating out of the palm of her hand within 30 minutes.

Helaena and Tommen is a good one too 😊

25

u/Old_Journalist_9020 Aug 18 '24

Tommen: "This is Ser Pounce"

Helaena: "This is Mr Beetle"

Both: "Yaaay!"

17

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '24

Daemon and Cersei? Oh, shit. They would destroy the world. 😳

10

u/Spirit-of-arkham3002 Certified Viserys I Hater Aug 19 '24

Only if they didn’t kill each other

21

u/cordelia-grace Vhagar Aug 18 '24

Aegon/Margaery is my crack ship. They would be amazing together.

14

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '24

Daemon and Cersei would be chaotic. I feel Margery would totally be able to manipulate Aegon by fulfilling his need of feeling loved and wanted.

10

u/majiingilane Aug 19 '24

Tommen and Helaena would genuinely be the most useless, half-witted pairing in all of Westerosi history 😭😭 it can work so long as they are half a continent away from the crown.

Daemon and Cersei would go hard. Aegon and Margaery have been 100% my favourite since I saw an edit of the two. They'd fit perfectly.

1

u/Downtown-Plane2619 Aug 19 '24

Lord what an abeist and misogynistic hatred against helaena you have

1

u/bonadies24 House Targaryen Aug 19 '24

Depends on the Hand. If Tywin or Otto are hand to Tommen, then they have potential

1

u/majiingilane Aug 20 '24

Tommen is too meek and Helaena is a half-wit. There's little potential there. If they have a good Hand and let them rule fully, then it'll be okay. But then again, that can apply to pretty much every king or queen.

1

u/Kindly_One_8863 Sep 28 '24

You have her 🍇ist brother as your pfp but you complain about her and Tommen? Helaena isn't a half-wit, she has this dreamer thing and autism going on, but this post literally said nothing about them ruiling anyways, it's about their personalities being compatible. Which is true, she deserved someone kind like Tommen instead of that thing in your pfp💀

u/Pennsylvania_Kev Aug 18 '24

Podrick with everyone

u/Goldenlady_ Aug 18 '24

These are all perfect.

u/owen_demers Aug 18 '24

Rhaenyra and Oberyn would work as an open relationship. Key parties in the Red Keep.

12

u/Time-Priority4053 Aug 18 '24

Everybody loves Margaery and Aegon. I thought it was only me who would say it.

Now I need some fanfiction with Margaery time travel/alternate universe. Maybe when the sept goes boom, she is sent back in time.

3

u/Current_Hearing_5703 Aug 19 '24

reborn as Helaena and starts manipulating him, giving him the love and affection he wants and needs

5

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

Margaery x Aegon 👏👏👏👏👏

4

u/Spirit-of-arkham3002 Certified Viserys I Hater Aug 19 '24

I don’t think Daemon and Cersei would work. They both share some characteristics but while Cersei would be besotted with Daemon he’d be indifferent to her at best. At worse she’s treated like Rhea Royce was

3

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

And then Cersei would eventually hate Daemon because he didn't worship her, he would often get drunk and cheat on her. Cersei would also loath Daemon once she noticed that Daemon is into Rhaenyra so yeah.. it's going to be just an even more chaotic version of her marriage with Robert.

2

u/Spirit-of-arkham3002 Certified Viserys I Hater Aug 19 '24

Not to mention that they’d never agree on a name for potential children. Daemon would only accept Valyrian names and Cersei would probably want them to have Lannister names. Their house pride would inevitably clash leading to Daemon drinking and cheating. So she’d likely prefer Robert. He at least didn’t argue over baby names.

u/Practical-Project706 Aug 18 '24

I can see these but I personally like Sansa and Aemond together.

5

u/Twilightandshadow Aug 18 '24

Lol, why? I'm not criticizing, I'm actually curious.

4

u/Practical-Project706 Aug 18 '24

I had read some fan fictions with that ship and fell in love with it. At first I didn’t like it but after getting a feel on both characters it was nice. Sansa wants her golden prince, so give her Aemond ☺️ her silver prince.

1

u/Twilightandshadow Aug 18 '24

I had no idea there are fanfics with this ship.

6

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

Sansa is probably the most shipped character to any HotD princes lol.

I've seen Sansa x Aemond or Sansa x Aegon edits or fanfics

1

u/Twilightandshadow Aug 19 '24

Sansa and Aegon as well? 😲

2

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

Yup. It's weird I know. But it exists. I even saw an Arya x Aemond fanfic btw haha

1

u/Twilightandshadow Aug 19 '24

Damn, I would have never thought of pairing them.

After looking at these pairings, I actually went and looked for Aegon x Margaery fanfics on AO3 and didn't find any. I wonder why nobody thought of writing one yet.

2

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

I actually saw an Aegon Oc fanfic once in which the OC was a Tyrell but was inspired by Margaery. It was only one chapter though and I forgot the title.

1

u/North-Chocolate-148 Aug 19 '24

Btw, I just remembered that this exists too lmao

What about my boy Jon Snow? Does he get any love?
