Starla Younge is a young woman who is the lady-in-waiting for Queen Aemma Arryn. Starla grew up with Aemma, and the two were considered sisters. When Aemma died, Starla felt devastated. But she comforted Viserys in the time he needed it instead of Alicent, who was terrified of the woman. Rhaenyra loves her because she puts men in their places and doesn't take shit from no one. 

"Starla is one scary woman. She doesn't take shit from no one and put men in their place." Rhaenyra said. 

"We need her on our side just in case," Daemon said. 

"No, I trust my stepmother. She won't betray me." Rhaenyra told her uncle. 

"Mother, I don't want to become King. The council has been conspiring against you." Aegon told his mother. 

"What!?" Starla exclaimed, causing the ones to hear her to back away. 

Starla stormed towards the council room, and when she stormed through the halls, maids, servants, squires, and guards all stared, wondering what angered the Queen. She barges into the council room to see the council members, except her husband, who is currently bedridden. The men all looked up, and their faces turned to horror. 

"Ser Harrold!" Starla yelled, and the commander walked in. 

"Yes, My Queen?" Ser Harrold asks. 

"Get the rest of the Kingsguards and arrest each of the council members. They have been conspiring against the king. I will reveal the rest later." Starla said, and the commander nodded as the rest of the Kingsguards walked in. "I'm gonna go talk to my husband." 

"Your Grace-" Otto starts, but Starla held her hand up. 

"You should know better, Otto. This is what happens when you conspire against the King and his chosen heir." Starla said as she walked over to the Hand and took the pin off his shirt.

Born with silver golden locks and dark brown eyes with the simplest tint of purple in it. Aemma was described to be a young girl made from scrapes of Targaryen women. From looks to personality, she never failed to be seen as someone else. That's why people around the realm called her 'The beauty of the realm' due to her valyrian looks. But her beauty was like crafted to be seen as many Targaryen women but herself. Although, with all that traits the only thing people see her as, is her own grandmother, Queen Aemma Arryn. But yet even with her beautiful looks she's always beat her brothers in sword fighting due to the lessons she gets from her sworn protector, Keegan Snow. gentle, kind, loving, sees no difference between low borns and high borns Fond of books, quiet, tends to be straightforward, and bright. Always in need of comfort from her mother, afraid of doing things due to potential doing something wrong, and timid- well most of the time. The only thing she cares about sharing with her ancestors is her curse to hear whispers from the stranger with her pet snakes. Strange... yet needed, especially when war broke out and everyone had to choose sides and die for the sake on who will rule the seven kingdoms. BENJICOT BLACKWOOD X OC!

Rhaella Velaryon, firstborn daughter of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon, and the second in line to the Iron Throne. Rhaella has spent her entire life ensuring she is nothing but the image of perfection, carefully considering every step, every word, every smile: knowing that their enemies are always watching and waiting in the shadows for her mother's downfall. She studied her high Valyrian to perfection, learnt the art of Westerosi politics, and never left her chambers with a hair out of place. Most of all, she knew to stay far away from her uncles and their mother, who had all resented the day she was born with silver hair and purple eyes. But she wore her legitimacy like armour, protecting her younger brothers, each with thick, dark hair, with fire and blood. Her mother had told her family was the most important thing in this world, family and their duty to the Seven Kingdoms, and she has never once doubted her. But when Rhaella is summoned back to Kings Landing, from her home on her adored Dragonstone, she knows she is to be tested more than ever before, and little does she know that a certain one eyed Targaryen is soon to became the bane of her entire existence. Perfection is just so damn hard to keep up, and the cracks may just be starting to show. •Enemies to lovers• •Slow burn• •Aemond Targaryen• •O/C Rhaella Velaryon• Disclaimer- Rhaella has been aged up considerably from the any other of Rhaenyra's children in the show/book timeline, just to make any relationship less inappropriate than it already is. Please ignore any inconsistencies this creates, it's my own story and won't follow the show 100%

There were two babes in the Tower of Joy. Two babes tied so closely to their parents, Ned had to make the decision. One with hair like raven feathers, eyes as grey as steel, and a face of a true Stark. The other, with hair like moonlight, eyes like an indigo pool, and every delicate feature that the Targaryens held above all else. Aegon and Visenya. The prince(ss) that was promised. -- Rhaella made a choice that day Rhaegar's heir arrived on Dragonstone; to forever hide the parentage of Visenya Targaryen and to cut her completely from the prophecy her son was so dedicated to. Visenya Targaryen, Daughter of Lyanna and Rhaegar Targaryen was no more; in her place grew Rhaenar Waters, bastard daughter of The Mad King and soon to be heir apparent. -- Incest warning, major character deaths, gore, smutty scenes... typical Game of Thrones warnings Runs on a similar line to Daenerys but with changes and different pairings and decisions. I won't lie, there is a whole host of relationships and funny business going on with this book; so expect Jon, Mero, Oberyn, and Drogo at the very least. AN: I'm going to be honest with you, this is a long and wild ride that you may or may not read. It goes through each season episode by episode and takes Daenerys place with different outcomes. There are multiple endings for those who either don't mind Incest, or would prefer to completely steer clear. It's completely up to you. So if you read, thank you so much; and if you don't, I hope you find the right story for you if this isn't the one.

The Darkness We Hide

44 parts Complete Mature

Aemond Targaryen spent most of his life alone, being picked on by his own brothers and nephews constantly for being considered a "twat" or "freak", but not by his niece, Alyssa Arryn. Alyssa was his niece through his younger half sister, Princess Viserra Targaryen, and her husband, Lord Hubert Arryn. They were raised in two different parts of the world, never truly getting close, but she remained in his thoughts. She remained in his heart. One night he gets the courage to claim the almighty Vhagar for himself, but then horrors fill the caves of Driftmark...as well as the walls of the Eyrie. Horrors that would weaken House Targaryen for many, many years. Will the house of the dragon recover after such tragedies hit? Will Aemond be forever forced to only know Alyssa in his thoughts? Will Alyssa be strong enough to endure what the gods intend for her? ****A lot of OC's in this, and as usual High Valyrian dialogue is italicized**** ***This is my darkest story. I understand it might get a little too dark at times, but I will do my best to guide those that wanna skip those parts with my TW's so just remember. You were warned*** ***bring tissues. Y'all know I'm gonna make you cry***
