HOW STRANGE IT FELT to be in this place after having dreamt of it a million times before – and how strange a place it was! – with dark walls adorned with dragons, their broken wings lost to time. It was nothing like the house with the red door from her memory, and nowhere nearer a home. Daenerys supposed she should feel some sense of accomplishment for arriving to Dragonstone's shores, but she felt nothing. Nothing but a hollow uneasiness, a restlessness which whispered to her in sleep that she was no closer to the throne than she had been at her brother's side . . .
. . . her advisors whispered much the same, telling her to bide her time. It was maddening.

On hearing Margaery's voice echo from stone hallways, Daenerys turned, her brows raising curiously at the the other's words. Lady Olenna's granddaughter had been in her company only a short time, but she found her to be just as crafty. Speaking of – lilac eyes dropped to inspect the black roses held before her, with glass petals as sharp as thorns. "You mean for me to have them?" Daenerys asked on finding her words. "You are much too kind, lady Margaery. They are beautiful, but I couldn't –"

margaery had plenty to be grateful for. to her knowledge, she'd been the only one to escape the sept in time to survive the wild fire. she recalled some audible steps behind her, but she never turned. her fate might have been another had she turned.
the journey had been a long one since then. healing her burns, traveling unnoticed. it felt as if she'd been personally delivered by the gods themselves when she found olenna again. her darling grandmother, who now counseled the dragon queen in a place very far from home. dragonstone was––– darker. humid, cold, bare. margaery couldn't find herself something to do as she did in highgarden with her flowers, dresses, teas. until she found the most beautiful material, that was.
❛ oh, k h a l e e s i ! ❜ she shouted across the hall. ❛ i've been looking all over for you. i was hoping you'd enjoy these. ❜ heels clicked behind her as she approached daenerys, revealing a pair of rose shaped hair broaches detailed with dragonglass throughout. ❛ i know the rose is my house's sigil, but it's the only one i know how to make so far. ❜

𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐒
All sentences on this meme have been taken from Fourth' Wing Novel by Rebecca Yarros. You can change names, locations, pronouns and anything else you see fit. Fourth Wing is a YA Fantasy novel and includes suggestive topics as well the staple of fantasy these days; dragons.
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy.  A rider without their dragon is dead.
There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, Violence.
I would rather lose this entire war than live without you, and if that means I have to prove myself over and over, then I'll do it.
You gave me your heart, and I'm keeping it-
Hope is a fickle, dangerous thing. It steals your focus and aims it toward the possibilities instead of keeping it where it belongs—on the probabilities.
Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?
I’m going to keep you. You’re mine, Violet.
I’ve been yours for longer than you could ever imagine.
Lies are comforting. Truth is painful.
I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been. I am infinite.
Oh, Gods.
Which one are you calling out for? Because it’s just you and me in this room, Vi, and I don’t share.
There is nothing more sacred than the Archives. Even temples can be rebuilt, but books cannot be rewritten.
The right way isn’t the only way.
One generation to change the text. One generation chooses to teach that text. The next grows, and the lie becomes history.
I will not die today.
None of this is worth it without you.
You can't make me fall for you and then die.
You’re making us look bad. Stop it.
He cares for you. That’s already hard enough for him.
He cares about keeping me alive. There’s a difference.
You never considered that it was you I couldn’t stay away from?
You’re not going to handle me?
You still love me. It's possible.
I’m just… not as strong as other riders.
It’s hard to love a second home as much as the first.
I fucking love your hair. If you ever want to bring me to my knees or win an argument, just let it down. I’ll get the point.
Dragon relationships are absolutely incomprehensible.
You should try a human one sometime. Just as vicious, but less fire.
I appreciate the elevation to deity, but my name will do.
We can live as cowards or die as riders.
Dragons always know.
I'm over here keeping my hands and memories to myself because you asked me to, and you're fucking me with your eyes. That's not playing fair.
Told you to stop staring.
If you'd just man up and admit there's something between us, I would strip down to my skin so you could see every single inch of me. 
You will not fall. I will not allow it.
When did I ever give you the impression that I give a fuck what people think about me?
I thought you said kissing me was a mistake.
Have you always been this tall?
I told you that I was the one who would decide when I'm ready to risk my heart, and I'm saying it.
You want me. And no, I'm not just talking about in bed. You. Want. Me, Xaden Riorson. 
Remember that folklore is passed from one generation to the next to teach us about our past. If we lose it, we lose the links to our past.
Gods, yes. This is exactly what I need.
They’re a mated pair, Tairn and Sgaeyl. The strongest bonded pair in centuries.
Dragons value strength and cunning and... ferocity in their riders.
And this mouth. All I ever want to do is kiss you, even when you piss me off.
Aren't you a little small for a dragon rider?
If I get my hands on you, really, honestly get my hands on you, I don't know if I'll be able to stop.
They choose for reasons they don’t see fit to share with us. And not all strength is physical, Violet.
Even the most effective poisons come in pretty package.
There is no stronger bond than that between two mated dragons.
Now I take care of you.
We will feast on their bones, Silver One.
I'd have to be a masochist to sleep with you, and I can assure you, I'm not.
The scars are a reminder.
And now I’m a rider. Riders fight.
Dragons pay no heed to your puny gods.
His father was the Great Betrayer. He led the rebellion.
We both know this is a bad idea.
The pursuit of knowledge is the key to unlocking the door to wisdom.
Nature likes all things in balance.
In war, people die. It’s not glorious like the bards sing about.
Your mother has never understood that while riders may be the weapons of our kingdom, it’s the scribes who have all the real power in this world.
At some point, you and I are going to have to start trusting each other.
Do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? It would be faster.
Holy shit. I’m on the back of a dragon.
I can't think when you look at me like that.
Guess everyone wants to be a dragon rider until they’re actually twenty feet away from one.
...power can quickly turn and control you.
If you're looking for a little fun, I'm happy to oblige-
I'm not a damned liability.
When exactly did you decide not to ruin me?
You could command the sky to surrender all its power.
You're overstepping.
He is not sleeping in my room.
Fuck, I'm never going to get enough of you, am I?
Humans have no say in the laws of dragons.
His rider died in the Tyrrish rebellion.
Don't you look handsome.
I've heard healer cadets have a thing for riders.
If I get my hands on you, really, honestly get my hands on you, I don't know if I'll be able to stop.
Stop being so fucking honorable.
I'm not dignifying that with a response. This is an order.
For there, in the land beyond the shadows, were monsters that dwelled in the night and dined on the souls of children who wandered too close to the woods.
But keeping me safe is keeping me from growing, too.
Too heavy. I’m pretty quick with daggers, though.

i genuinely hope that boop day inspires everyone to interact more with other tumblr users. because it’s clearly way more fun this way!! even once the boop button is gone, there’s still asks, tag and ask games, comments, dms, fuck it let’s bring back blog rates i don’t care. part of the reason that tumblr is dying is that its way less social than it used to be. let’s fix that!!

𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒.
All of these sentences are mostly taking by my own mind and i'm not joking. It was hard finding material quotes regarding tournaments in historical or fantasy setting. Some are from shows or media but eighty percent is all from my own mind, please give credit if use these. Change pronouns, names, locations as you see fit. All of these involve the medieval event of a tournament and what happens around them.
I fear I am already bending far too many rules just by taking you, my young princess.
Show me your hands, you will have blisters soon.
Lady Eglantine doesn’t believe in love, only lust.
In the world of competition, only the strongest shall prevail.
A true champion is not defined by their victories, but by the obstacles they've overcome.
Victory is sweetest when it's earned through sweat, hard work, and determination.
Will you not participate in the tourney, my lord? 
May I have the honor of wearing your favor today, my lady?
Good luck to you, my Prince.
The tournament is not just a test of skill, but a test of character as well.
Is it always this bloody? Will those poor men die? Someone must see them.
I want him to wear my favor.  Only him. 
If he wins, the knight has the right to name his Queen of Love and Beauty. And at the feast, they shall dance.
Be careful. A tourney is a grand place for courtly love, but also, for blood to rise and affairs to appear.
Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick.
Kings may be chosen by God, but they still make the mistakes of men.
When even those who rule can sink this low, it is not possible to change anything.
It's my lucky charm, be sure to bring it back to me.
My favorite blue ribbon. Take it.
It will bring you good fortune and you will return from joust unharmed.
I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor.
How about a kiss, for luck?
Courtly love was the culture around the performance of love at court.
And now, rather than admit these feelings, you're dancing around one another with this mind-numbing and frankly boorish mating ritual.
The knights take on the duties of shadows with pride.
Whoever wins the tournament, shall become the prince/princess’ new betrothed.
You want to marry my daughter? Prove yourself worthy.
Petyr survived only because I begged Brandon not to kill him.
When Petyr heard of my engagement, he challenged Brandon to a duel. 
You do qualify to marry my daughter.
What matters most is who she will give her favor to. 
Her face is one that can create dynasties or crumble empires.
I was hoping for a word before you rode on the tourney, my Prince. 
My brother is the one competing against you, please be gentle with him.
The games are done for the day, please, feast and drink as you wish. 
You have been staring all day, my lord. I was beginning to wonder if I had something in my face.
Any damsel that's in distress - she'll be out of that dress when she meets Jim West.
Great men do not seek power... they have power thrust upon them.
My daughter seems. . .infatuated with you. I have yet to see why.
The princess is naive and thinks any man who is kind means well. A tournament will only show her the reality of life.
You honor the arena with your combat. May your swords and shield preserve the peace.
In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.
I will be brave for Princess Pea.
As a squire, your first duty is to your knight’s armor. Your knight’s armor is more important than your own life. 
You will be knighted and you will have earned your knighthood.
You are hurt. At least let me tend to your wound.
The men laugh and fight and the ladies search for husbands.
Nothing like a good tournament to find a husband, or a companion for the night. 
Rumors are always spread with ease in these.
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die.
We're married now, but we still haven't told your dad. This is the right time.
Are you promised to someone?
My sister's getting married. It's a love match. A rare thing. I’m not so lucky. My husband is to be chosen by who can hold a sword the longer.
Why can’t women participate in the games?
There are games for the ladies, Your Grace. But they are less. . .gruesome. And of course, the dancing.
Princes and Princess all over the realm and across the sea are coming for this event. You must shine brighter.
Let me help you with your armor. It appears loose.
As I promised, I return your favor to you, my lady. 
The Prince never loses a joust. He will crown his queen and then all will be well.
I do not understand the appeal of this. 
I spend days making these favors, let me stay a little longer.
My lady, I do not need your favor to win, but perhaps, a kiss of good faith. 
I do not care who wins these games, your hand is already arranged for another.
Men are scoundrel, specially when blood runs hot after a good battle, stray away from them.
These games are done in honor of the king’s heir.
The lord’s daughter is said to have bloomed, and the man chooses to announce it like this. 
A tournament is for men to boost their strength, fathers sell their daughters like mares and for affairs to happen.
I saw you on the stands today, my lord. But you did not participate on the games.
My brother wishes to dance with you, my lady. He is all too shy to ask himself.
You were injured. Have you allowed someone to heal them or are you too stubborn to let them?
Princess, you must not stray too far away. 
Mother is too drunk and annoyed to care, she won’t mind.

"You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”
“No. I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material.”
We all bear scars,... Mine just happen to be more visible than most.”

“I wasn't going to kill him, you buffoon.”
"Now you must pretend that you like me, or else everything will be ruined.”
“I'm not married,because I can't stomach the idea of marrying a woman inferior to me in mind and spirit. It would mean the death of my soul.”
“Apparently, a woman can only go so long without a sword between her hands.”
“I never intended to escape.”
“I don't quite comprehend why you'd force someone to bow when the purpose of the gesture is to display allegiance and respect.”
“What's the point in having a mind if you don't use it to make judgements?”

I want a husband to warm my bed, and my bed alone.
"I can act and talk like a lady, if it pleases me.

 “You look rather pretty today,”
“Shall I gag you, or are you capable of being silent without my assistance?”
