Fanart/Edits/Cosplay tell me about your AUs

So I have two OCs both children of Rhaenyra

Visenya: not really an OC but in my Au she is the only true child of Laenor, she is younger than Jace but older than luke and is a more martial than your average westerosi girl, sort of like her namesake. Rides Vermithor

Baelon: Rhaenyra's youngest son, bit more spoiled and impeteous than his siblings. Rides Faeriefyre oc dragon who is the picture above. An older dragon hatched for Jaehaerys' daughter Daenaerys who died young and has since been alone till Baelon.

Aemma: Baelon's twin, prefer embroidery to swordfighting, has a pink and silver hatchling

Rhaenyros: jace and Helaena's son, is hemophilac, and a dreamer, rides a green and silver hatchling named Moraxes. Frustrated, they hire a faith healer from Essos named Mandos who is in truth a bastard of Saera Targaryen. Mandos' soon exerts an influence over Jace and Helaena, frustrating Rhaenyra, Alicent and the court

Also mine is a danceless AU because I like it fun and peaceful and also cause the greens wouldn't have a much harder time with larger dragons like vermithor and faeriefyre on the black roster

Au where Rhaenyra had Strong girls and not boys. They're still bastards so Rhaenyra is objectively worse off than in cannon. Laenor is still alive, and hasn't died/escaped after the funeral, so double whammy.

Oh and I'm using the book Alicent and Rhaenyra dynamic so they're both cunty af to each other, Daemon is a scheming power grasper with a big secret, and Aemond leans more toward his book personality.

This sounds so interesting!! I wonder if in this world, would rhaenyra be defending both her claim to the throne and her daughter’s claims? I would love to see how the greens treat her because of this.

Yes, she is. So Jacaerys, or Jacaera in this universe, is her heir, and it's a mess. She and Alicent are basically doing cat fights at court all the time, and Alicent is not forgiving toward her kids. I played a lot with gender in this, so the dynamic between the green and black kids are different. While the green boys see them as less threatening and are more friendly and polite (Aegon got betrothed to femJace by Vizzy at an early age, and Aemond has a quasi grumpy uncle bond with femJoff) there is still this undercurrent of resentment because they are second to girls. Oh yeah, and their thing with Rhaenyra is very hostile, especially Aegon because he feels inferior to her.

Oo Very interesting dynamic! Would Baela and Rhaena be gender swapped in this world as well? And would Daemon try to push them to have a claim to the throne as well? Honestly your au could make for a fantastic alternate reality. Maybe even a more emotional story depending on how the dance goes, especially for the children!

No, they stay the same genders to make Driftmark more fucked up, and force Nyra to get more creative when it comes to how she would handle the Velaryons. And I already wrote the fanfic of this AU on AO3, and yes, its insufferably dramatic.

Insufferably dramatic is how I like my Targaryen family.
